Hot weather is here,,,,, and other things go crazy.... It's time to gripe and vent !!!!!!! I got up this morning, and the Internet is going slow. I mean crazy slow, 6.8 mbps download, and 8.3 upload. Now they tell me I have to take the modem in and exchange it. Well its not through yet, I drove to get coffee and headed home; I noticed my headlight were really dim, come to find out, the left headlight is out. GEEZ !!!!!!! I left the money for the man to cut the lawn, because I'd already cut the front, they came and left, never checking the back yard, so now they have to come back and cut the back yard. I'm still paying them the same even though I cut the front, they should at least check, rather than assume. We are going into the cycle of the next 6 days of 100 degree temperature, hopefully other stuff does not start going crazy !!!!! America needs to fix its systems !!!! Every place in the country should have super fast internet, the electrical grid should be improved and that should have been done 30 or more years ago. I called more than a year ago about the electric pole leaning, instead of changing it, they put a red X on it and stuck another pole in the ground beside it, but its still learning. I rally a lot in my writing about over paid executives, because they don't do anything to address improving their systems, but every year they want a bonus. It's insane. they want the stock ticker to rise, but they want to keep with the old worn out non state of the art systems. If the wind blows, the power goes out, I come home some days and the computer has been cycled off, because of a power outage. The roadways are an atrocity, they go from potholes to making humps and bumps in the roadway, rather than patching it properly. Some roads that were re-surfaced not even 3 yrs ago, already have cracks and sub structure faults. someone is responsible for poor quality contractor work and low bid substandard quality controls. We look at the news and its like a weekly thing for some mega company to get "hacked". and always they have some crazy excuse; rather than improve their network security. The NEWS on every channel is now a Jokers Paradise !!!!! its no more than a bunch of smiling people, trying to create drama by any means. Interviews are more about the interviewer trying to grandstand, rather than to get information on issues and facts. Weekly, someone is shooting or stabbing someone, or someone has killed off the family including the . Police are still shooting unarmed people, as if its just standard procedure. Yet, on the internet they have no quality new reporting all they want is people to click on another page, so they can push more advertising. article after article of silliness, focused to call women "hot" just because she has on some designer over priced outfit. as if this is suppose to set some standard or lure people into the lust and vanity of self consumption trying to emulate the fiction. . More articles of this one or that celebrity is divorcing and they spread it across the internet as if people personally know these people. Then there's the hype about the former Bruce Jenner, as if this is suppose to set a new standard or something. It's like a madhouse of horrors and drama games, while so much falls apart. We have city upon city claiming bankruptcy or near bankruptcy, school districts claiming they don't have the funds to operate and still America sends billions upon billions to other countries, while so much here is a problem. Stock trading at 300+ times their capability of actual industrial earning, and people rally because the Dow rises, yet fact is it rises based on PURE FICTION, of greed chasing greed, based on inability to perform, but pushing delusion of future profits, when a company cannot survive for the massive game of mergers and acquisitions, when no one wants to tell the truth about the UN-repayable debt and unemployment this creates. I read about Singapore a few days ago, they are moving ahead with developments they have the highest life expectancy, and they have a very high income standard and they are prospering. Nordic Regional Nations are stable and progressing Yet, American won't look at these places as such and LEARN.,.. Singapore list 1 in 7 have more than a Million dollars of disposable funds, and this does not count the value of their home or their business. they have embarked on promoting a "green society", and sustaining their high standard of living. Here we are with old communities, more and more mobile home parks and communities aging and decaying every day. While all the funds go to keep up the wealthy communities, while everything around them crumbles. We are cutting Military while other nations are strengthening theirs, and now we have a pool of more than 16 Republicans running for Office of President. It's almost like a national circus act, that's falling apart in every aspect. Maybe the Tent will simply collapse and wipe out the whole of the circus at any moment. These things are atrocities - but people are blind and content as they continue their absorption with Facebook, Twitter and App Games on their smart phones. The average person does not know what going on, nor do they care to gather information, they are busy trying to be a 'witty celebrity in their mind on Facebook and Twitter. We have website, who can't make a simple video play, without buffering forever, or hanging up the system with the slow network system we have. Even reports have been made about the slowing of the internet, since all the mobile units access it, but we have no system improvements. People can't drive their cars without the cell phone glued to their ear, and we have idiots who still 'text and drive" endangering other and they are without a concern or care to stop such madness. Now, we have people chasing cars that claim to have massive power, which results to sucking up gas, and creating speeding dangers on the highway, all the while the cars get bigger and bigger, dragging around excess weight, all in the name of 'status". when people don't factor in the high monthly cost, insurance and maintenance, and what happens.... 2 yrs later the car looks like crap, because they can't afford the cost and the upkeep. Everyone wants a over priced house in a over emphasized areas, unaware of the upkeep cost, and Real Estate Agents put them in the house full well knowing they can't afford the community upkeep standards along with the over priced new car and other fancies that go with such moves. ______________________________________________________ I was reading the bible the other day, starting with Ecclesiastes, the whole book is interesting, but here is a quote from Chapter 9 - verse 2 " 2 All share a common destiny--the righteous and the wicked, the good and the bad, the clean and the unclean, those who offer sacrifices and those who do not. As it is with the good man, so with the sinner; as it is with those who take oaths, so with those who are afraid to take them. 3 This is the evil in everything that happens under the sun: The same destiny overtakes all. The hearts of men, moreover, are full of evil and there is madness in their hearts while they live, and afterward they join the dead Anyone who is among the living has hope--even a live is better off than a dead lion! 5 For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing; they have no further reward, and even the memory of them is forgotten. 6 Their love, their hate and their jealousy have long since vanished; never again will they have a part in anything that happens under the sun. 7 Go, eat your food with gladness, and drink your wine with a joyful heart, for it is now that God favors what you do. 8 Always be clothed in white, and always anoint your head with oil. 9 Enjoy life with your wife, whom you love, all the days of this meaningless life that God has given you under the sun--all your meaningless days. For this is your lot in life and in your toilsome labor under the sun. 10 Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might, for in the grave, where you are going, there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom. 11 I have seen something else under the sun: The race is not to the swift or the battle to the strong, nor does food come to the wise or wealth to the brilliant or favor to the learned; but time and chance happen to them all. 12 Moreover, no man knows when his hour will come: |

I would think in these many things, it is the utter 'sadness" which is more widespread and feeds a great expanse of disenchantment's. The focus on material measure, and the self is consumed often into vanity and selfish aims, without a concern for the expense of devastation it invokes upon many just in the process and manner of selfish pursuits. The illusion of power dominates the madness in business, as many have forgot that business is of basic to provide service and serve, yet that is lost on the minds who think that power is in the hands of acquisition. Time brings most of these to fall, as they shed parts before they eventually crumble into meaningless pieces. The concept of value is distorted and often lost in the madness, and wisdom is used like a "pun and joke", never grasping the content of what is the meaning, point and purpose of wisdom's truth. Death is handed out by the taking of lives by others without even a eye's blink. Such tragedy dominates the atmosphere, where even parents kill their children, children kill their parents and mates take the lives of each other in a spiraling increase, wiping out potential future generations from even the chance to come into existence. Weakness dominates and covers itself in fancy things of vain pricing, and this cycle increases by the days. One gets surgery to appear as they were not naturally born to appear, and beneath it the fear of the natural process of aging has made a different kind of madness... as we are unaware of the devastation it invokes within the unknowing young.

I've written much which is distasteful to some, but digested by other and maybe challenge equally so by some. ABOUT: the madness of the University System, who gave up on ethic, and lost the meaning of sound quality and sustainability value and discarded product and service integrity, all for the "dollar chase madness which is the prevailing "pyramid scheme making based on their training to do so". Now days, to speak of sound quality and sustainability value and product and service integrity, is immediately attacked !!!! as the Dollar Chase Game is built upon, low quality, quick deterioration and no service, "DISPOSABLE EVERYTHING".. It's such now they see people are 'disposable equally so"... The focus is "now" directed toward and upon the unaware young, who have not yet learned to think in terms of durability and have no concerns for what is long term sustainability. they go for the push and pull of what advertising claims will give them value in the vanity category of ego stimulation for a brief moment. America lost the concept of what is a Strong Nationalist Industrial Entitity, UNAWARE, one cannot be an effective global player without first being a strong and sound nationalist economy. since the Ivy League Uni's lost the integrity it had in the early 19th and early 20th Century, and during the hey day of the re-industrialization after the great depression,. it became about, group affiliation, group status, and other such things of sports figures and legacy status .... learning took a nose dive!!! the fight against various ethnicity was a fervent obsession, and the beat back and push down system proceeded to breed even more among the dominant population of the Ivy's Uni'[s to be even more driven to push group status, and legacy status and learning took a back seat to these things. Graduate now have a focus on 'what is the starting salary and income range of the job, and they structure their university programming toward these ends. NO more do they have a concept of what it is to become a 'contributor", nor what it is to use information and build upon knowledge to better society, THEY SEE their role as one of SELF ENRICHMENT at any expense upon and against society for the self focused goal of their own wealth pursuits. ANYTHING is for sale in America for SHORT TERM PROFIT, the sense of legacy industry, and long term sustainable industry, does not equate nor factor into the newly educated generations for the past 50+ yrs, and within the past 50+ yrs American has been on a steady and fast moving DECLINE. It has not registered in the self adulation of the Ivy League Graduates, and now that mentality has infected the average University Graduate in all levels of University measurements. Degree Selling is Big Business, once one degree is sold, the process is to resell to the recently graduated individual, the next level on the degree products for sale. Today, we have a mass of degree holders, who in general are less informed and have been stripped bare of what is ethics. A few respectable learning avenues exist, such as medicine, engineering, tech and such, but many of the others offering present so much less than what the original design of degree programming was meant to stand for. Such a massive ship of madness is of great difficult to turn and change its course. It may hit open waters and drift aimlessly, until it depletes its resources, exhaust its fuel and is left to the ravages of the open seas.

The haughtiness of fools pride and vanity won't allow the eyes to open to such and learn from such. The delusion of invincibility has taken down many once great nations.
