Huffington Post, except for BS titles, the broken comments,
etc.
1. Huffpost, is there NOBODY there who can fix the
comments?
2. And you need to lose the bait-and-switch titles - so
juvenile.
3. And, how about a button - "Don't update while I am
reading."
NEVER STOPS DOWNLOADING!
17,000 lbs. of stuff in a 5 lb. bag.
STILL LOADING after 45 seconds - what a pile of c.

Social
Involvement
|
Precious little - I am not a "Chatty Cathy".
I am far closer to being a hermit.
I don't "follow" anybody. I don't want to join any
group.***
I visit my Facebook page maybe once a month.
I have received various linked-in invitations - not for me.

*** = "I don't want
to belong to any club that will accept people like me as a
member."

Beverly Hills

Political
Orientation
|
Liberal - Power to the people, NOT the corporations.
Washington's
lobbyists have got to go.
Fascism definition = Industry controls the government.
The U.S. is a Fascist country - the people no longer have a
say.
"Voting" offers no choice at all - SOB 1, or SOB 2.
Turkey gobblers, one and all.
Only those who support the status-quo can become
candidates.
"Yes we can." While you are being stabbed in the back.
Political Reality
I would like to say "Don't vote for the idiots",
but unfortunately, we have no choice.
We are doomed by our broken "democracy" system, which
offers
only rich, money-grabbing, disingenuous, power-seeking
egomaniacs.
Even any "lesser evil" is still FAR TOO EVIL.
Normal, truthful, middle-class folks need not apply.
Mr. Ladendorf, my 11th grade American Government
teacher
at Hillsdale High, San Mateo in 1961,
would have a CONNIPTION FIT, were he alive today.
Everything he taught us is no longer
so.

Summary
|
|
Greatest
Concern
|
The current, continuing collapse
of the United States, peaking in 2012.
While most Americans are consumed with American Idol, Jersey
Shore and the Kardashians, their country is being stolen by
military and corporate Fascists. With an unfettered, corrupt
financial system, we are headed toward the same fate as the
Roman Empire, only at a much faster pace.
The situation is exacerbated by our protracted
foreign wars, failing tax system, failing educational
system, and self-indulgent lifestyle. Prognosis for the
future is very, very poor. All of our would-be saviors have
the most money, and the lowest morals - rich power-seekers,
even richer power-mongers, job-exporters, self-serving con
artists and lobbyist teat-milkers.
You had better start exercising daily, so that you will be
able to bend over, and kiss your butt good-bye. CORPORATIONS
NOW RULE AMERICA. THEIR GREEDY BEHAVIOR IS DESTROYING THIS
COUNTRY.

My Advice to
All
|
Keep A Positive Outlook!
Negativity Will Put You in an Early Grave.
We can't change the world, but we CAN change
ourselves.
Avoid negative people - you MUST get away from them.
You better try really hard the first time around, because
there is no second time around. You can never go back, and
fix what you screwed up. You can only be positive from now
on.

"MY! Such an upbeat outlook."
Sorry. The older I get, the less inclined I am to suffer BS
gladly.
I tend to speak the truth. Sometimes, it isn't pretty.
My photo at the top is somewhat misleading. For my current
appearance, think Jabba the Hut, with feet.
