Somali Pirates

The issue that everyone, well, me....all about me, is wondering... how can individuals in a row boat or a fishing boat take over and control, terrorize and demand ransom from a flag nation of a sea vessel?

We can send a man to the moon, although some think that was a farce.

We can see news paper headlines from satellites.

We can send "smart bombs" through a dryer air duct.

We can listen to any phone conversation World-wide.

But yet, we can not keep our assets safe on the open seas?

...I wonder who the insurance under-writer is? AIG perhaps?

Who is making a profit on this? Someone is, other than the pirates. Is the income stabilizing the Somali nation, by creating disposable income? Is this business as usual for the World?

Make no mistake, life is precious. It is time for consequences.

Anyone or any Nation that does not treat individuals with respect and kindness should be accountable to International Law, and better yet, accountable to their own people.

...with a consequence for their actions.

Sink the ships, hoodlums are hoodlums! Lets see who can swim.

But make sure, as a people of the world, that we are there to save them.

Expanded Hate Crimes Bill Signed into Law

Kudos to President Obama for signing the Bill to expand Hate Crimes! And to all those that worked so hard over the years to make this happen.

Imagine..... It's 2009 and We, as in "We the People," have a president that understands we are ALL created equal and had the "balls" to stand up to the HATERS! I believe President Lyndon Johnson signed the first Hate Crimes legislation in 1967 after the assassination of the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Hate Crime Legislation

"Such hate crimes, committed solely because the victims have a different skin color or a different faith or are gays or lesbians, leave deep scars not only on the victims but on our larger community. They are acts of violence against America itself." -President Bill Clinton in his weekly radio address, June 7,1997

"More than 77,000 hate-crime incidents were reported by the FBI between 1998 and 2007, or nearly one hate crime for every hour of every day over the span of a decade. The FBI reported 7,624 hate-crime incidents in 2007." -Mr Holder to the Senate Judiciary Committee in June

On October 27, 2009 the Senate passed legislation that would make it a federal crime to assault an individual because of his or her sexual orientation or gender identity. This is being added to the Hate Crimes Bill already on the books.

President Obama has pledged to sign the measure.

President George W. Bush threatened to veto a similar measure. There is no surprise there. George W. <"you can call me George, cause I can't spell W-ya"> had the opportunity as the leader of a great nation to stop HATE. He didn't, shame on you!

My heart goes out to the families of Matthew Shepard, a gay Wyoming teenager who died after being kidnapped and severely beaten, tied to a split-rail fence and left to die over night, 18 hours later he was found.

..and to the family of James Byrd, Jr., a man of color, of Jasper ,Texas. Three men beat Byrd, strip him naked, chain him by the ankles to their pickup truck and dragged him for three miles over rural roads.

If you have the stomach to read what happened to these men due to the actions of individuals who HATE visit the timeline page at www.hrc.org/sites/loveconquershate/timeline.asp

For all of those in the House and Senate that voted against this measure, I do hope all the Grandparents, Mom and Dads', Sisters and Brothers, Aunts and Uncles, Cousins and Friends remember this at the voting booths. They will, Matthew and James' spirits will make sure of it! May you both now rest-in-peace.

Love Conquers Hate! We are moving in the right direction America!



PEACE!

Legalize Weed?



Why not? "Treat" it the same as alcohol and tobacco... TAX it! We can grow tobacco, cigarettes kill. You want to stop the violence with the Mexican cartels, shootings in the Hood, turf wars? Cut out the middle-man.




Grow American! Taxes, the American way! And we as Americans already know about Taxes!

Our founding fathers would be so impressed if this was made legal. George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and many others were Hemp growers! Wasn't the Declaration of Independance written on Hemp paper? Someone had to be smoking something to stand up to the British!

Oh now wait, the forest industry, the paper companies, the cotton growers will ONCE AGAIN do everything in their power to stop this.
