Dead Fish

The other day at work my brain just started wondering to things I've been hearing lately on the news. I know that's a dangerous thing for my mind to be doing especially at work.  
I got to thinking about this scandal with health care for vets. I was just trying to think of a different way to explain it. This is what I came up with.
Governments and government agencies are so corrupt and out of touch with the real people. 
You could show them a dead fish, dangle in front of their face and they will deny it is dead.
 You can slap them across the face with it and they will say it never happened. 
You can keep slapping them with it and they will continue to deny it's happening.
They can stink to high heaven of dead fish and they will say they don't smell anything bad.

So where do we really go from here? All governments are so corrupt there is no fixing them from this point. The gap between the haves and the have nots is getting wider by the second. 
Maybe it is time for something big to really happen so the whole world has to start over. But of course they will say it's global warming and it's all our fault. 
Wait a minute, they are already doing that. But they think that throwing more money at it will fix it. WRONG!
Money will not fix what the planet is going through.
 Learning to live and adapt to the ever changing environment is what we have to do.
 Educate our selves to relay on ourselves to survive. Learn to live simpler lives. 
You don't need the latest electronic thing to live. You are wasting your time with being so addicted to all those things.
 The more connected we become, the more disconnected we are.
 Too much information on others will not make your life better. Over sharing is out of control.
 Spend your time truly taking care of yourself. Don't just like or pin something from Pinterst, do it.
 Or just make your own stuff for yourself and just be proud of it.
 You don't have to throw things in other peoples faces about what you are doing. 
I remember a time when not knowing every little detail of everyone else's life  was not our main focus. 
I remember when a promise was a promise.
Like the V.A. saying they will take care of the people who truly sacrificed they lives to help protect them. No if's, and's or but's about it. Those people need exactly what was promised to them. 
So stop worrying about how many more kick backs you can take for doing little to no help for others and start worring about the future of this country. We are only as strong as we are proud. Right now, we are not a proud people. 
The fish is there. See it. Or someday you will end up where all stinky fish end up.
  
 

Well that's my ponder for now.
Till next time.
Keep on pondering the pondering possibilities.

Jean Viken Cold Case

When I first started this blog one of the first things I wrote about was the murder of a local woman. She disappeared Jan 29th 2008 on one of the coldest days of that month. Her body was found I think in May of that year. She had been shot. Her van was found not long after she went missing up north. She was the mother of 4 young children and was going through a divorce at the time. Well here it is 2 years later and nothing has happened to try and find the person or persons responsible for her death. Why? I'm sure the whoever was responsible was really not that smart. It's as if the no one wants to get to the bottom of what really happened to her. Maybe she was not important enough. Maybe she was not connected to the right people.  I wonder what it would take to get more exposure to this cold case. If there was more pressure from some place else maybe the ones responsible would start to panic and make mistakes to expose the truth. It's time the truth was exposed. Remembe

Jean Viken update and other local things.

This past week Channel 7 has been doing stories on the cold case of Jean Viken.I did see one of them. In it the police said they know who did it but they are waiting for someone to come forward. But no matter what four young children will be without their mother for the rest of their lives because someone decided to end her life out of the meanness of their heart. Here is the story I found on the internet: Jean Viken's friends and family remember her as a loving mother of four young kids, a devoted daughter and sister. But nearly four years after her murder, a dark cloud hangs over Jean's memory, as they continue to search for answers. "We were having a birthday party for her because all of her friends would have wanted to get together like we would have done if she was here," Jane Hempel said. Almost five months after Jane Hempel reported her sister Jean Viken missing, family and friends gathered to celebrate her birthday, hoping to feel some semblance o

Pondering Japan's Earthquake

Image
The earthquake in Japan is just another wake up call for us. It is so far the largest disaster we are dealing with right now. And with all those nuclear power plants having problems there, it will get a whole lot worse.  The earth is talking to us. Telling us the big change is upon us. Instead of fighting wars in other countries we should be preparing our people for this big change that will change our home, planet Earth, in a way that will make life allot more difficult to survive.  Japan had prepared for this kind of event to a point, but this kind of event to this degree is never fool proof.  My heart does go out to all those who are living through this right now.  I will give one prediction for the near future that some might say makes me sound like a crack pot but it is always a possibility.  Here it is: With all the things happening right now natural disasters and political unrest big changes are inevitable. Governments will fall apart, America included. People will have to rel
