Past Performance Is The Best Judge

May 30, 2008

 

The reason that I prefer McCain over Obama is because he has a better work history. If I was going to hire an employee as a manager in my company, my choice would be McCain. He had the ability to fly a fighter jet in combat which takes great mental skills. Obama is basically a government hack with a gift to charm audiences with his rap. His credentials from an ivy league school is meaningless, it comes from the politically liberal classrooms he attended. McCain is less inclined to give away government money to organizations that survive on government handouts. He will be more fiscally responsible. But he is still a politician that needs every vote and will say almost anything to get it. There are no clear choices presented in this election. But I am going to vote for the one with the better work history, and if I was hiring an employee it would be McCain.

 

It is important for our country to have a strong military. It not only protects our shores but keeps our supply of oil flowing. Radical Arab politicians want to control the price of oil and make the rest of the world beg for every drop Without our military presence in the Middle– East, America would be paying more than ten dollars a gallon for gas—it would be suicide for us if we let that happen. With McCain as president, our military will keep the oil flowing at a fair price.

 

The main reason for big government is its strong military. It costs billions to pay for our national defense. The rest of our economy can be handled by private ownership. Two examples are the agriculture and housing industry. Government subsidized farming and housing is destroying the work ethic of the country and taking the tax payer broke. Productive small farms can supply food and housings for those that need food and shelter. It is not a governments responsibility to feed the population by food stamp and housing programs. Food should come from the land or a mothers breast not from BIG DADDY GOVERNMENT. Housing the small farmer has never been a problem. The small farmer know how to house his family without government help. A farmer without a shelter is impossible. Even the livestock has a warm barn. The voters need a president that will help put the millions that need government help on the small farm where they can feed and house themselves. McCain or Obama will not stop government handouts. There will come a day when only the small farms can come to the rescue of a Big Daddy with empty pockets.

Help The Small Farmer

May 25, 2008

Giant subsidized farms have destroyed the small farm. These giant farms operate at a loss and only survive by the billions given to them as welfare payments. That is the reason they can sell a head of lettuce for one dollar when it costs them to two to produce. This unfair farming practice has closed down over five hundred thousand small farms that can’t compete against government handouts.

 

The five acre farm is self contained it does not need government assistance to survive. It understands what it has to grow in order to survive and does it in a way that is profitable. The small farm is labor intensive which means a five acre farm can employ as much as fifty hands. This is great for the economy because it lowers the rate of unemployment and eliminates the need for public welfare.

 

There are billions of people in Asia that owe their lives to the small farm. They could never have survived without it. The governments in those countries never heard of welfare nor did they need it. If a person was hungry or homeless, there was always work and housing available on a farm. If you did not want to work you would not eat. There is nothing fairer than that. The governments in those countries would never think of driving the small farm out of business because if they did millions would starve.

 

The answer to the social problems in this country is to bring back the small farm. Thousands of five acre farms run by talented owners would empty the cities of permanently unemployed welfare recipients and close down homeless shelters. There would be no feelings of uselessness when hundreds of thousands of good jobs are available on small farms.

 

There are problems that will occur when we give this country a new agricultural base. But they will be solved in a humane and intelligent way.  In the long run it will be better for us all. We must not let the billionaire farmers who run the gigantic farms for government handouts stand in the way of the small farmer. Our country will continue to suffer social unrest and high unemployment if we do.

 

Sen. John McCain, the Republican candidate for president, on Monday said he agreed with President Bush’s decision to cut the $300 billion dollar farm bill because it did not cut subsidies to wealthy farmers enough.

“I would veto that bill,” McCain said, calling the farm bill an unwarranted handout to corporate farmers and an obstacle to freer agricultural trade worldwide.

Sharing Your Toilet Saves You Money

May 22, 2008

The prices of gas and food keep rising and there is little left over for other things. The landlord keeps staring and you know he will shortly ask for a big raise in rent. His costs have also been rising and you are the answer to his problems. You just about meet your rent costs and are scared.  The boss has just given you a twenty dollar raise but that doesn’t even pay for added gas expenses. Threats of homelessness hovers over you like a dark cloud. There is no place to hide from your problems. But flexibility will come to the rescue. It has always been a savior.

 

Privacy costs money. Using the toilet and shower for one person is an expensive habit. If you want to cut costs remove your toilet door and you will find the solution. The more people that share your toilet the cheaper will be your expenses. With an agreement among the users, a toilet and shower is capable of comfortably handling over one hundred people in a twenty four hour period. There is no reason that a person has to use a shower for more than ten minutes. Toilet use is variable but one toilet has the capacity to service at least twenty people an hour.

 

A large air mattress costs around fifty dollars. Four people can squeeze into one. Ten mattresses can easily fit into the smallest apartment. That equals forty roommates. The only thing lost is privacy. But privacy is not needed in hard times.

 

Refrigeration and lighting wastes money and is not necessary for people on a tight budget. The cavemen survived before heating or artificial lighting was known and so can you. The sun provides all the no cost lighting you need. Heated apartments are not important if winter coats are available. Inexpensive sardines for protein and vitamin loaded rotten fruit will keep you healthy. They both don’t require refrigeration.

 

Flexibility can be our savior because with it we can survive in the hardest of times. The Asians made it their wisdom. They dealt with reality and never expected anything more. China has over a billion people because of this wisdom. We in the West should learn from them. The first thing we should give up is our need for physical privacy. The place to start is by giving up our exclusive use of the toilet. If we do the high costs of space will disappear and none of us will fear being homeless.

Signing A Love Contract

May 16, 2008

There has been a rising amounts of lawsuits claiming sexual harassment in the workplace. Most of the complaints are made by women who have been disappointed in a love affair began on working hours. Judges have been overly sympathetic to women employees and have awarded them a grand total of over one hundred million dollars between 2000—2006. This is in the United States alone. It is no wonder that many employers are asking women to sign a: “LOVE CONTRACT” before hiring them.

 

The love contract states:

 

1. As an employee of this firm you consent to be freely available to engage in sexual intercourse with any or all of your co-workers.

 

2. You have accepted the fact that all of the firm’s employees and owners are sexually oriented and will desire to have sex with you.

 

3. There will be no sexual intercourse on company grounds during working hours except by special permission of the management.

 

4. Refusal to have a sexual affair with any of the company employees is cause for dismissal.

 

5. There can be no complaint of sexual harassment once hired.

 

 

Signature:   ————————————————-

 

 

This love contract has helped end the countless lawsuits against fellow co-workers and bosses. The firms that have had their employees sign the contract have found that they now have a better workforce Very few leave to seek other jobs. Despite occasional petting the work gets done. No longer does a guy have to be afraid of asking a lady in the next cubicle if she would like to sit on his lap. Ladies now happily take up the offer. Due to the clearly spelled out words in the love contract there are no prudes that spoil the fun. The boring office atmosphere has been transformed.  Sexy workers are hugging and smiling. Let’s call it one big happy workforce.

 

There have been numerous complaints against the love contract by primitive sexual types. They say that the sexually permissive work force brought on by the new hiring practices discriminates against them. That might be true but if they want the job badly enough they should turn their sexual inhibitions into more practical ones. It is important for all employees to be a part of a team. The only way that can truly happen is if workers open their hearts and arms to each other. The love contract is making it happen.
