Firstly, an article on the Assembly bill which seeks to disincorportate the City of Vernon. This is a fun one. I want to remind you that the man introducint the bill is the cousin of the Mayor of Los Angeles and the city wants to take over Vernon. Bet the cheaper electric rates in Los Angeles from DWP will make the businesses in Vernon want to go witht he City rather than the County. I am sure a deal will be struck.
They want you to take the cookie and keep your house for cheap. I don't ever want anything that is free, do the right thing instead. If the truth be known, I could sue and keep my house for free, I would win. I do not and would not do such a thing as I did take a loan and I cannot pay it because of the divorce. I should not benefit from not paying my debts and will not accept it. The things that my mortgage processor did were illegal and I don't care, I had to force them to process the deed in lieu because it was the right thing to do.

You Matter No Matter What the UN Says
Bolivia plans on introducing legislation in the United Nations that would give the earth same rights as a person. Here is the article. Let me give you my take on it.
The earth is not a person. We are legislating a lie in order to achieve a goal, goals based on lies never work. It does not matter how important you think the goal is, the ends do not justify the means.
Under this legislation, representatives could sue on behalf on the earth. In other words any idiot that wants to can sue over anything that he thinks is not in the best interest of the earth. That will make it almost impossible to do any new projects unless you are on an existing site or spend obscene amounts of money. Funny thing is, you won't blame the UN or the government, you will blame those wacky environmentalist that sue.
Some will applaud this effort; but, they miss the bigger issue, truthfulness. A society can be based on many things, if truthfulness is not at the core then dishonesty becomes prevalent. It is the truth of government. When your government is based on a lie nobody has a reason to believe anything. We need to return to truthfulness and address problems head and on and level headed.
Finally, I will address the lie itself. They are telling you two lies. The first lie is that the earth is a sentient being. The second lie is that you are not as important as a gigantic rock of which there are trillions and beyond in the universe. They are saying that the earth is unique and that you are not. You are unique, we, us humans are the only thing that matters.
We are part of the sentience of the universe. There is nothing more important than us. You might want to tell me that animals are sentient, yes, they are and they are less aware than us, we are more important than animals. We are not more important because of what we have done or what we can do, we are more important because we are the limit of what can experience the universe. We are the most complex creations in the universe. I want make this clear, not the purist, the most complex.
Trees cannot love, rocks cannot love, people can love. I have a dog, it does not love me, it adores me, it worships me. I appreciate that it has feelings so deep; but, it cries when I leave, everyday. It does not do what is best for it when I am around, it will not eat unless I am where the food it, it follows me instead. It is not a complete sentient being because it's emotions over rule it's needs, not urges, needs. That is not a healthy relationship. I love my dog; but, I want what is best for him and being with me may not best, not if he is to grow.
Planets don't grow, they are limited in that arena, they are rocks.

Maybe I was right - Google and clean energy
Here is the article. Lets see, just outside of Los Angeles Google is investing $168 million in a solar farm. Now, I previously posted on how Google was going to be an energy company and some thought I was silly for thinking so, what about now?

A New Week
Well tomorrow we start a new week. I don't know what it has in store for me; but, then I am continually surprised by things like that.

I Should Write Something
Saw a disturbing video of some Japanese kids that drove out to the nuclear plant without protection. Read that two City of Los Angeles Building and Safety Inspectors were arrested by the FBI for taking bribes. Now, I ask myself, why was the FBI involved in what appears to be a local matter? Perhaps this is bigger than it first appears. Personally, I think it is the beginning of the end for a whole bunch of crooks.
I wrote a long time back about the mysterious non-appearance of the ex-general manager of that department. He was accused of rape, wasn't charged and left the City. This whole thing smells of a RICO investigation to me; but, what the heck do I know. Tomorrow may be a better day and maybe, just maybe we will see bad behaviour appropriately dealt with and good behaviour rewarded. That would be nice for a change.

Back Again
I try and post every night; but, sometimes life gets in the way. It has gotten in the way for the past two days, happens that way sometimes. There is a real guy attached to these letters. Sometimes I am amazed that I still post at all.
I watched a movie tonight called "Flipped" directed by Rob Reiner. It is a coming of age story. Hard pressed to call it a love story. It is about two kids that grow up together. The girl loves the boy, the boy doesn't like the girl. Later, the boy likes the girl and she hates him. In the end it works out; but, we never see that part.
The girl in the movie is named Madeline Caroll, I don't know anything about her but she was very charming. Well you have to know I stopped and looked her up, an LA girl who is a big supporter of "Zoe International" (a Christian group that rescues children from Child Prostitution). Sounds like a pretty worthy organization to me. Two different actresses play the girl (age 7 and age 15 or so). The younger one did a great job too, her name is Morgan Lily.
It had been a long day and my youngest daughter and I watched the movie together, although she dozed off for a moment or two. It got me thinking about a radio commercial I heard. The commercial is some father talking about having his daughter come home from college with a boy in tow. The father doesn't want to like the boy; but, cannot help but like him eventually.
Being a dad is hard sometimes. Daughters do usually end up liking boys and make so many mistakes. Especially now when serial dating is the thing. Quantity over quality. As I watched the movie I thought, "I remember when the world was like that". It was more mannered. We taught children to be young men and young ladies, we don't do that enough anymore.
Sorry my brain is drifting. It has been a very long and exhausting day. Be well.

Great Article Possibly Short Post
I have my daughter with me and she is not feeling well so this may be a short post.
Throughout history their have been numerous times when animals rained from the sky. Usually fish; but, others too. Well it rained worms, here is the article. Apparently the sky was clear and no clouds. Charles Forte wrote about the articles of it raining animals all over the world, including before planes. The usual answer is that a water spout or tornado picked up the animals far away and then dropped them here (because seeing tornados or water spouts is never reported). I remember one of Mr. Fortes comments, he said, "If it were a tornado or water spout then how come it is always only one type of animal? Nobody can ever answer that.
This time we had it rain worms, how come no beatles or crickets or cats or fish? How come no debris, just the animals. How does a tornado pick up worms or fish and not get grass or bushes or seaweed? How come no water falls down with the fish, wouldn't the water fall first, never reported. Science is funny.
On another science note, the large particle collider in the United States has said that they have made a discovery that will change everything we know about physics. LOL. I told you that no matter what they find it will change how we view physics and this is not the whole answer. Only the Higgs Boson can prove God right and science wrong 100%. Now here is my question.
If quantum physics proves that we are nothing more than sentience and that all you think is real is a projection of that sentience, what then, how would you view the world? What would you think reality was? Then you find out that there are other sentient beings that we cannot see in this reality; but, they are very real? How would you classify these beings, angels and demons, aliens, alternate universe beings? Would it shake your beliefs?
How would you choose what to believe they were, how do you properly analyze what these beings are? Do you base it just on your current beliefs (spiritual people assume they are angels and demons, aethiests assume they are aliens and new agers believe they are assended beings) or do you not accept your beliefs and independently investigate. It is claimed that the indians believed the Spaniards were Gods returning.
Anyways have a great week.
