I was sitting in the car in a parking lot today, for December, it was rather balmy, I even had the windows down a little. I don't know what made this thought enter my mind, but I got to wondering about, the American Way, how has it changed from the "good old days." What is the American Way, or better yet, what WAS the American way? I asked my friend Jim Snedden that question. After some thought, he said, "Maybe it's the way Norman Rockwell painted it." I didn't have to think of an answer any more, that was it.
Is the recent exodus of our troops Strategic Military move, or a Political move on behalf of Obama. Is the only reason they are leaving to add a piece of the political puzzle to his resume. Is it a bad move, a good move, or a political move.
Illegal to use a cell phone in a moving vehicle. While sitting in that car yesterday I listened to a call in show and that was their question of the day. One man, in his 30's, a truck driver, used his phone, while driving, for directions, for deliveries, to let them know where he was, to talk with his wife, and could not get along with out his phone. My answer, to all of them, HOW did we do it before cell phones, all those years.
The most responses revolved around "the government," taking our rights away, i.e seat belts and drinking in bars. They were more concerned about their rights, than all of those who were killed or in accidents, while talking or texting. One, intellectual, commented, "The police have been using electronic communication devices for many years, with no adverse affect."
"OK, sir, you were observed by this officer and myself, were you talking or texting, we saw you doing something, oh, you were shaving, sorry."
"Good morning Mister President, what are you up to today."
"Just watching the news on TV, I love to see Newt and Mitt tear each other up, we're recording every word so that when the time comes we can use it all against whoever wins. My boys tell me we can beat Newt easier than Mitt,so we're doing what we can to see that Newt gets it. We're working on this third party thing too. If we get a third party guy running, shew in time, gonna spend more time in Hawaii. What'd you think of they way we did that Army-Navy game, gotta go, got a call coming in from Chicago, may be important. Oh, and change that color scheme on the new airplane, a little less red, white and blue, good idea to take that flag off the tail."
