Pnnce Charles and Camilla just happened to be in the wrong spot at the right time. The timing could not be more perfect. Wonder how they just happened to be there? Was this a planned event? Is this one way to remove Charles and Camilla so William's ascent to the throne of England goes unimpeded? One can only wonder about this situation.
Students in England are disgruntled. They are upset because the government went back on a promise. The promise is no tuition hikes. Unfortunately for the students of England the tuition hikes are tripled now. Uh oh! Big booboo on the part of parliment. The trust of the people is betrayed.
However, I digress. Just how did Prince Charles and Duchess Camilla just happened into the thick of this mess. Did someone let down the security messures? Was this purposely done? Is the throne worth the threat to one's life and limb? One can only wonder.
There is no raise for Social Security in 2010. Why because congress believes that inflation is not raising.
This writer wonders if congressmen ever do their own shopping? Do they go to the filling stations to gas up their cars. Do they go to the grocery stores? Where do they get the idea that the prices are not going up? They are!
Social Security Medicare & Government Pensions. Information by J. L . Mathews, Dorthy Matthews Berman, Joseph Mathews. Amazon decribes this as a guidebook through the maze of Social Security and Medicare options. At the rate the USA government is going there will be no options. Why? Because there will simply be no Social Security or Medicare.
Many in the government say that Social Security is broken. Well why is there public report of how the Social Security and Medicare funds are done? All the USA citizen hears is that the system is broke. Okay where is the dollar by dollar breakdown? Are there a lot of I.O.U.s in the Social Security pot. Who owes the Social Security fund? Who got into it in the beginning? Is the money ever going to be paid back? Is it illegal to borrow from Social Security?
Reading Social Security Medicare & Government Pensions. Information may prove to be most enlightening for those who want to be aware of what is going on with Social Security in the USA. Read it to see if there is any mention of the IOU's that are supposedly in the Social Security pot.
Dear readers, Do you all have any comments or questions for the Congressmen. Hey how about putting your comments in the comment section here? Why don't we write Congress and the President of the USA with our questions. I would be glad to send them a registered letter and email with your questions.
So how about it? Got questions? Want answers? Put below in the comment section. Just make them legitiment serious questions please.
What is the projected future of Social Security. Well these two books have some answers.
The Real Deal: The History and Future of Social Security is quite technical but Amazon critique says it is somewhat readable for the average reader. There are graphs and explanations gallore. Suggestions about what to do with future Social Security.
There is also the suggestion to require mandatory retirement accounts. "Now how is that different from Social Security?" this blogger asks,"Could it be that it will be a new fund that politicians can manipulate and borrow from. Borrow from with no intention of ever paying back?"
Take a peak at this video. There is a movement to lower minimum wage in the USA. What kind of affect will this have on the rest of the world? Is the minimum wage actually anti constitutional? How about income tax?
Supposedly there is a class war going on in the USA. This particular party says that the Democrats are trying to push back the idea that is infecting the Tea Party Movement. The idea is that the poor and middle class is not working enough.
By the way, contrary to what this video and some politicians would have you believe there is a built in stair step that ups the age for retirement. People born in the year of this blogger's age bracket retirement age is sixty-six. It rises up from that on a year by year basis. So if you want your full social security and you are in a certain age bracket you cannot claim it until you are sixty-six.
Dear reader, do you suppose the two prominent parties of the USA, namely the Democrats and the Republicans are in cahoots? Think about it. What prevents the politicians from both sides getting together for a little conniving? Do we need a third strong party or maybe a fourth strong party for the USA? Why is it these other parties such as the Constitutional and the Independents never get any publicity or news on the TV, Net, and other coverage? Is it domination of USA politics by the two parties the one of them? Think about it. All comments are welcome here.
To quote the ad from Amazon on this item:
This groundbreaking manifesto is essential reading for tea party activists—or any American seeking to understand what the Tea Party is fighting for and what's next for the movement.

Is there a world wide movement to eliminate the American Indian? According to this site there is: http://www.ratical.com/ratville/sterilize.html. Americans Indians are sterilized against their will. Governments and doctors just take it onto themselves to do this. Is this the world that the citizens of the world want? What makes people that endorse this think that they or their race will not be next?
There is a lot of talk about the rights of people. Does this apply to everyone but the American Indians of the Americas.
Why do the people doing these procedures think they are so right? What right do they have to destroy and entire race?
Now just what did the American Indian contribute to the world. Well do you like to eat? Well read this: http://www.nativecircle.com/iicFood.html.
The voters of Afghanistan have my admiration I do not know that I could be as brave as they are. This is especially true for the women. Here they go to the polls in spite of threat to life and limb. It takes an incredibly brave people to do this.
Those of us who do not live with this threat should be grateful.
To me, it is inconceivable that people would kill someone just because they want to vote. What does this killing prove. That there are bullies in this world? Why not let Afghanistan determine its own future. Why is that such a great problem.
To anyone who is afraid of Afghanistan's self determination, I have just a few words to say. If you call yourself a true believer then why do you fear? You say you believe in the one true God? Then back it up with your faith. Do this not with the sword but with your faith. Pray that all Afghans act with wisdom and love. Ask your one true God to be in charge. If not this then ask your God to let his will of something better than this.
To all who call themselves Christians, Jews, and Muslims is it such a problem to trust God. Is it such a problem to pray for wisdom and guidance? Is it such a problem to trust God to work things out. Is it such a problem to put violence aside. Is it such a problem to allow others to have the rights that you crave for yourself.
As for me, action speaks louder than words. As for me, violence to convince another that your religious beliefs are right creates nothing but atheists.
In addition, before anyone calls themselves brave remember that these people go to the polls to vote unarmed. They stand up for all people, as far as I am concerned.
Plus, there are people all over the world who are standing up to crime. Any many cases their lives, their families, their very livelihoods are threatened.
The Afghans are not the only brave people. There are also the Mexicans who are standing up to the drug cartels along the Mexico and USA border. Along side them on the USA side stand the USA citizens. Both side are beleaguered but there are those who are standing up. Sometimes they are murdered. Many times they are law officers, lawyers and just ordinary citizens. But, they stand up. Would you? That is the question. Is this a matter for thought?
Below are videos about what is going on in the country of Mexico. The first is a video of what is going on at the border. I could not embed the second video so I put a link. It is a must see. The last video shows what is happening to the children who live along the border of Mexico and the USA.
So those who think they are great leaders, those who think they have all the answers and those who consider themselves the movers and shakers of the world because they have all the answers, what is your answer to this? Why can't you stop this? Do you want to stop this?
Blogging is a hobby of mine. I even made some money off of it.
However earnest blog making money is not for the lazy. It takes a lot of hard work. Determination is necessary, too. Well that just about kills the fun for me. How about you?
This particular blog is made with blogger.com. Blogger is one of my favorite blog sites for creating blogs. Why? Well for one thing it is not as complicated as most. It is also very handy and you can make money through Amazon.com and Adsense.com.
Oops! Something just came to the attention of "A Matter for Thought?"
Is there a world wide movement to shut down the Internet? Well I found a UTube Link where some video clips say yes. The first one is a clip of Jay Rockefeller giving his two cents worth. I really cannot decide if he is for or against taking down the Web
The announcer in this video talks about Net II. The governments in the world want to shut down the web because it is terrible.
Well God forbid that the general public should know anything. Right?
Here is more information about what is in store for the Net. Should the world citizens be leery of these people in government. I mean the ones that have decided the average people of the world are just to-o-o-o stupid to wisely decide anything for themselves? World citizenry needs the expert guidance of people in the upper reaches of the economic ladder who never invented anything and never started a company.
Here's an idea. Afraid of how the Internet may lose precious data? Put it on "hard copy". Look up the term: hard copy. Afraid of losing something do to power outrage and solar outrages not to mention other natural anomalies? Use "hard copy". Got it? Here are some more sites about hard copy that may of interest to all of you really smart politicians, etc. who are so much more smarter than we "little people".
http://www.earlham.edu/~pols/ps17971/asia1/lavista.html. Discuss how the Internet can help stop governments from making disastrous decisions. This is just one example. The following quote is what has stuck in my mind the most.
However, the need of states to remain current in issues such as scientific advancements and commercial developments forces governments of states to acknowledge and accept the internet.
Does the above quote leave room for thought? I think so. How about you Dear Reader?
Deedee Halleck does not ignore the fact that societies that have "violently repressive governments" (she gives the examples of Iraq and Libya) are having problems becoming involved in the information technology revolution, and citizens of these areas have difficulty acquiring usage of the internet. However, the need of states to remain current in issues such as scientific advancements and commercial developments forces governments of states to acknowledge and accept the internet. Halleck states that "We have a kind of knowledge market going on which is in a way, impervious to the efforts of the states to control it." According to this form of thought, in order for a state to progress the goverment must take the risk of placing themselves in a position where they are vulnerable to the occurance of a revolution. With this fact, the fight for human rights using the internet proceeds to develop succesfully in various territories despite governmental beliefs.
Does this mean that if government officials want their state to progress, become powerful and rich then there is a need for free exchange of information? Think about it! Check it out in the annals of history. When did a society or the world make the greatest advancements. When did the greatest wealth come forth? Read your history a great, noble, fearless, vastly intelligent leaders of the world. The truth shall set you free!
As for protecting children, no problem exists here. There is now cloud computing and software that can do that. Plus Dear Reader, a parent has a right to look at a child's computer. Here is another idea, keep pedophiles and other type of predators away from children. I do mean for life. This is what psychologists and psychiatrists recommend.
Here are some links that may help, Dear Reader:
http://www.protectkids.com/ This particular site has a great maze. In the maze are a lot of links to click. Click on "Internet Dangers" and you get a wealth of information about the dangers of the Internet for children. Click on the "Youth Safety Rules". and there are a *pluforia" of suggestions on keeping youth safe on the Internet.
By the way, Dear Reader, these governments that want to protect kids, did it ever occur to them that the Internet unfettered can actually help them *ferret out the dangers. Think About It!
Now then to change the subject. How to protect governments from cyber attacks is discussed in the following links: http://www.net-security.org/secworld.php?id=9556 Discusses a new program for the government of the USA I presume. "Perfect Citizen" is the name of the program. This is just one idea. http://www.idsecuritysuite.com/blog/protect-yourself-against-a-cyber-attack Talks about how the average citizen can protect their home computers from cyber attacks. There might be something of use for governments here. Think about it!
Oh yeah! Here is another thought. Control Freaks! Maybe this should be for another entry.
Dear Reader, please feel free to comment. Keep it clean, keep it to the point and keep it wholesome. No violence please. Violent material is *verboten!
To one and all think. Think about it! If thinking causes a headache take two aspirin and go to bed. If pain continues through the next day then go to doctor. If a doctor is unavailable or affordable then find a big rock. A very big rock. Hit foot, no difference which, with rock. Pain of foot will make pain of head less noticeable. If not then for those who like to complain (like the writer of this blog) then there will be something to really complain about.
With further use of the brain for real critical thinking headaches from thinking should cease. Over time thinking may become enjoyable. Thinking may be a key to prosperity, happiness and peace.
####################### May you one and all be blessed. May wisdom grow within you like the garden of Eden. May you be strong, healthy, truly wealthy and wise. Until we meet again on this blog, goodbye.
Stay Tuned! More discussion on this subject to come here brought to you by one crazy bird! ####################### Definitions as pertains to this entry.
*pluforia Seemingly endless amount of information. Information that sprouts up like weeds out of control. ( A little literacy license here.
*ferret Can mean a small mammal but in this article is in the verbal sense meaning to search.
*verboten German for forbidden #######################
Yeah I am talking to you, you personally. Can we talk? I mean can "we" talk? I need someone to talk to about things I have been seeing on the net, on television, in the news and in real life. There are some things I on which I need to vent. Not all of these things are positive but then they are not negative. Something new may come up.
A lot of the negative things are:
Forced child marriages.
Cruelty to people and to animals.
Waste of all things
Rudeness
People Who Have A Sense of Entitlement
Rampant Starvation for No Reason
Stupid Stuff Done in The Name of Religion
People Trying to Blame God or a Superior Being for Their Own Ignorance
People Trying to Force Their Will on Everyone Else
Taxation Without Representation
Ms. and Mr. Average Man Expected to Carry and Support The Rest of The World Including The Rich
People Who Complain But Do Nothing (Ooops, could that be me?)
A Feeling of Hopelessness
(There is more but I have not the energy to put here at this time)
The Positive Things I See
Children Pursuing an Education in Spite of Threats
Women and Men Who Speakout for Right in Spite of the Risks
People Who Altruistically help Others With No Thought of Personal Gain
People Who Act with Common Decency Towards All
People Who Listen First
People Who Are Loving
Children Who Act with More Maturity Than Adults
