Ex Councilman in Serious Trouble

So an ex-City Councilman is being investigated for taking money from developers. He took a lot of money, about $1 million from one company. Now this particular crook, I can call him that because he plead guilty to tax evasion, Mr. Alatorre resigns from the Council, pleads guilty to tax evasion and is then allowed to be a lobbyist. Why would anyone hire him as a lobbyist?

I wouldn't trust anyone who he raised campaign contributions for. This all goes back to the same thing, politicians in bed with developers and using City funds and employee pensions to fund their little incestuous relationships and get elected. Why is it taking so long to take out all of these thieving little weasels? When will the boils on the back of the City be lanced and removed?

Don't Expand Your Mind

Open it. The blog is not titled, "The Truth is Outside You" for a reason. There are two true answers in the universe. The first is that there is a "better". That is true, there is more or less pain, more or less happiness, emotions and feelings that we prefer or find pleasurable. Then there is "right", that refers to sharing in both pain and pleasure rather than just hording the pleasurable.

Selfish people fear pain more than do the unselfish. They either seek to justify this by saying that we are all responsible for our own happiness or saying that "others" deserve more pain. Both are lies, we do effect each other and nobody deserves pain. It is too strange a concept, to deserve pain. I want people to do good, not bad, I want people to be better to one another, not harsher.

Nope, the truth is inside you, you know when you can be more helpful, when you are cheating and lying, when you have given what you could and when you didn't stand up for what you knew was right when you could have. The truth is what is right, hey, I think that is what we got from Eve eating the apple, knowledge of good and evil, the truth. We were not given all understanding, we were given a conscience and that knows good and evil. If you are a Christian or Jew and believe the bible then you must admit that you know right from wrong. If you listen to others tell you the answers than you are not listening to God, you are ignoring your conscience because they gave you a justification for being selfish in the guise of the justification (usually that this is best for everyone garbage).

Many people seek to "expand" their minds, this always seems to entail getting an answer from another rather than following one's own conscience. I don't need nor want someone to give me the answers and God certainly didn't give them all in the bible. Guidelines at best and we tend to fail. Christianity is the only religion that tells you that you can never get it right, that you are always imperfect. Okay, Buddhists believe you can become perfect and cease to exist. If you cease to exist, how is that perfect?

People complain about being thought of as sheep; but, they are by and large. Always chasing a cookie, always looking for a shortcut to the cookie. To know more than you can learn is to be a sheep.

What do you think of this link?

There is a new television show coming out called "Falling Skies" and I still don't watch television. I saw it advertised on the sides of buses and wondered what the plot was. Apparently, aliens attack the earth and humanity tries to keep alive. I don't care about the rest of the plot or the show.

I went to the website and was trying to find a commercial for it. Instead I found something a little creepy. One section of the site is a tab called "Last Defense", if you type in your address it will show you your home and neighborhood being destroyed. I am guessing that it is liked to google maps. Anyone knowing your address can now look at your house, your car, your front yard, your back yard.

The government has been able to do this for at least 40 years, I don't really mind that much. My ex, people I don't like, co-workers, people I never met should not have that sort of ability. I am going to leave a link, as I plan on ending the blog soon, I hope people find this site and follow the link. It is to an organization called "Electronic Privacy Information Center". It constantly talks about your PRIVACY and what technology is leading to.

Now, I am not sure that I trust these people. There are privacy issues that I do not believe should be negotiated for everyone by anyone. One of the current issues is Facebook's ability to use facial recognition software to find pictures of you on other sites. The "solution" will be to give you the choice to opt in or out of the program. I would charge people with treason for even attempting to use such software.

New Thoughts on Pastor Carol Daniels

Firstly, here is a link to a news report on Pastor Carol Daniels death. I had never seen this report. I did not know that there was a POLICE STATION a block away. Lets think about this some more. A random satanists, picks a church in a town of 6,000, which he assumes will not have any members attending a church on Sunday and cuts a woman to death and is not worried about the screaming or walking out of the building covered in blood. This makes how much sense?

Let us agree on one thing, the murderer did not intend to walk more than one block because there was a police station one block away. Cops drive in and out of police stations and go in all directions. I haven't followed the story; but, this nonsense makes it even more clear that it was done by someone who was in very close proximity. They were a block away from a police station and were not afraid of leaving the building and not being seen? Come on, it had to be someone very close in proximity.

For those who continue to have an interest in Pastor Carol Daniels, a link to the website that is tracking the news regarding her. Let us pray that her killer is caught. I will not be joining their site as I am de-interneting.

I should point out something, the linked website said that BTK was from Wichita and not Kansas City, he was from neither, he was from Park City, north of Wichita. For anyone who wants to see, go to the Kansas City newspapers website forum regarding BTK and examine the posts by CatchPutz, they predicted it would be Park City and many other things about him before he even resurfaced. The Kansas police did a lousy job, just like the Oklahoma police are doing a lousy job.

Scratching my head, ouch, I forgot I was bald

I received a comment on a very old post, the post about Pastor Carol Daniels. I checked my traffic sources and found a source to have been from a website dedicated to web sleuths. As I have been saying, I intend to stop writing this blog in the near future. I had considered deleting all of it; but, decided to leave the posts up for at lease some time.

I really don't want to leave my writings up, I want to delete them all; but, my post on Pastor Daniels is still getting visitors and has now been referenced on another site. I kind of feel it would be wrong to take it down and mess up their link, even if they all disagree with me.

I have to apologize for the short post yesterday, I had a sinus headache all day yesterday and half of today, I am better now. It felt like I had a nail attempting to poke my eye from the inside. Barely slept and had a meeting I had to attend today. I didn't eat at all yesterday except a small cup of soup.

As I write this I am eating a wonderful brisket sandwich, nice to finally have something in my stomach. Well, tomorrow is Friday, the end of the work week for me. Actually, it should be my regular day off; but, there are some things I want to take care of.

This little brain is tired and just needs some time off. The Pimpernel needs to focus on himself for a little bit, he needs to decide what he wants and where he wants to be headed. I am always where I am supposed to be when I am there; but, this is not where I want to be forever. I need to figure out what I do want and I need some time to do that. I need to think about me for once.

I need to decide what is important to me for me. I need to think about what I do like and want and other things. I need to begin again. Maybe it is not about finding who I am; but, about rediscovering me. I used to write music, draw, read everything and of course write. I used to be a gymnast and a stage manager, I was also a cabinet maker. I am not unaware of the arts. I like jazz and I like rock and roll. I like lots of music.

I bet that got your attention. Here is a great article which describes the current state of sexual relations in the United States.

The News is Boring

Go to bed and I have nothing to say.
