  • Constance Hays wrote a new blog post: Why We Need Both Parties-US Politics in Bizarro World   5 days, 12 hours ago

    Our nations brand of government is like the comic book “Bizarro World”.
    What is supposed to be is so skewered it’s hard to remember what we actually started with.
    A two party system with checks and balances, a Supreme Court to interpret law without political influence, pure-to protect citizens’ rights and an administration to act from the [...]

    Veteran’s-We are not a Reality Show

    The Vietnam War kept my cousin. It also kept a few friends of mine from high school and a boyfriend who just disappeared after he returned from his draft stint.
    I spent two years in Germany working huge mainframe computers, eventually a short stint in Military Intelligence.
    The Vietnam War is famous [...]

    Homelessness Comes Home

    I am two weeks from being homeless. My credit is gone. My credit is not only gone but the :fresh start” I attempted not only worsened the situation, it left me with fewer options.
    I am an educated person. I am keeping my fingers crossed that a teaching job comes through next week. I [...]

    Welfare Mom’s- Abortion Activists- and Pregnancy..

    Accepting cash assistance from the US government has always been a shame based program.
    Shame based meaning those that apply and meet face to face with workers making minimal wage with minimal education are often confronted  with unprofessional, judgmental negative comments at the front door.
    Let’s look at the numbers and break down [...]

    Welfare to Work-IgnoringTthe Root Problem

    1996 Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation …also known as The Welfare Reform Act shut everybody up.
    Those who believed people were driving around in pink Cadillacs living the life of Donald Trump got their lust for punitive measures satiated.
    Those who liberally believed everyone needs to have a job, we just have to help [...]

    Help Brandon find more friends? Does it look like he needs more Facebook?

    It is just too tempting.
    You know how facebook puts these little messages on the side of your page?
    My son leaves his facebook open in perpetuity.
    I shut my down.
    Another ego driven narcissistic non way to communicate. Post your life to the world. Make short comments [...]

    Wachovia asks for Social Security # or Account # by phone recording???

    Freak us all out about identity theft. Warn us that the security of our bank and credit card accounts is our own personal responsibility-
    and then send me a phone message like this:

    Immersed in Time

    this hour, this minute sometimes this second
    time, I stand alone immersed in it,
    time has control,
    I do not.
    whatever the moment pushed forward, resistant poof-
    carried me.
    My voice lost in the moving minutes,
    yesterdays words,
    tomorrows
    now.
    Words that flail, falling words,
    coursing through my brain,
    pushing outward,
    to the spans of  time.
    Only my echo is heard
    pushed away
    this second,
    this minute,
    now.

    More Opt Out Swindles-ATT&T

    Your home phone is like a credit card. Unless you call your phone company, anyone who knows your phone number can call from your home phone and order services at social networks.
    For example. IMVU and Gaia, social networks for kids will charge your home phone for any services purchased from them on [...]

    “Automatic Renewals-More “Opt Outs”

    Did I ask to renew my Vanity Fair magazine?
    No-But they are billing me for another year-because I didn’t “opt out”
    Did I sign a contract asking for additional years? No
    But in the fine print it says I must cancel my subscription even though I paid them for only one year.
    I didn’t pay them [...]

    Bizzarro America-Wall Street Bonus and Massive Unemployment

    Goldman Sachs and Merrill Lynch are formally taking those last few bucks you have in those 401K’s-the sham retirement funds lobbed off on American people a decade ago.
    They call them bonuses-I call it theft.

    If someone came to your door with an Uzi, busted into your house, held your family [...]

    The Day My Daughter Almost Died

    It isn’t as if she was just a little girl that needed our protection so much. It is the question I ask myself-How old are kids supposed to be when they take responsibility and adults take none?

    The Glee in Taking down the government-Fox News

    What is it about relishing taking down our government? Why is it okay?
    “Fox News” can call itself whatever it wants-millions of us ignore it-yet they prey upon ignorant, angry or racist citizens by lying, twisting or outright challenging our current presidential administration.
    What people don’t get is they are [...]

    Let’s Lobby the Lobbyists Out!!!

    The first priority of President Obama when taking office was to restrict lobbying of our legislators and government officials.
    Impossible. Their insidious tentacles weave throughout our government affecting every small business, farmer, entrepreneur, educational system, dairy farmer, health care,  government worker and yes, even the Avon ladies of our country.

    Those who freak at [...]

    President Obama-Nobel Peace Prize-Acknowledging Our Hope

    I read somewhere that during our Presidential Election, many Europeans stated they wished they could vote.
    A worldwide sigh of relief  waved over earth at President Obama’s victory. His words -balm from a world of countries, many hundreds if not thousands of years older than our adolescent behaving country.

    Another “Opt Out” Story We get what we pay for-no more-no less-the end

    I bought twelve months of XM Satellite radio.
    I paid for it with my credit card.

    When Irrationality Drives Our Health Care Decisions..

    What is it about affordable health care for all that makes normal people act irrationally?
    I’m stumped.
    Real facts, real figures, real experiences don’t cut it with America.

    I have worked in health care a good chunk of my life. I am old enough to remember the transition from treating need to treating [...]

    Any “socialist” countries out there need teachers?

    The citizens in my country, the United States, do not believe all citizens deserve access to free health care.
    The citizens in my country no longer believe we should have a safety net for our most vulnerable citizens.
    Is there a country in this world who will accept me? I have [...]

    Opting Out-It isn’t just banks….

    Banks are notorious inventors of sneaky methods for parting you and your money.
    The overdraft fee-infamous for the inability to opt out of it-along with debiting the largest amount first, so many overdraft fees can be generated on smaller amounts, are all methods of arrogant banks no longer interested in customer goodwill [...]

    A New Cliche-”Get Over Playing the Race Card..

    We could discuss the meanness of the “new” American culture, but that would take volumes.
    Part of this once repressed American cruelty, now blatantly expressed and richly primed by media sources, is the phrase, “Get over the race card, liberals, it’s not the sixties”.
    Ironically, race as an issue hasn’t [...]

    Diminutive. It is the word that rolled around in my mind today as I was at work. The diminutiveness of my soul, or so it felt. Working in a job which I did 25 years ago for about the same pay. A women- the same age, 56, stopped by my desk and proceeded to tell me how [...]

    Racism ramps up anger.
    The fact President Obama is a black male appears to have lit a fuse to those who aren’t so openly racist. The polarization of our nation has little to do with the issues.
    In fact, citizens are so angry they have replaced white hoods with tea party signs, fighting universal health care insurance, which, [...]

    Labor Day requiem-a generation of ignorance

    Certain holidays are for old people, according to US citizens. Memorial Day, Labor Day and Veteran’s Day are some of these.
    Otherwise, for the rest of the nation, these are, “just another three days weekend” type holidays.
    Now I am not a zealous patriot. I don’t say this as some braggadaccio-honestly, [...]
