Not a thought in my pretty little head
I got nothing. I don't have any news to tell that is meaningful.

An International Tax on Smoking
Sorry; but, still under the weather. I post this article that should amuse you.
The Washington Free Beacon - Taxes Without Borders
Once you accept an international tax, you accept it on everything. Many will applaud this as being good for the world; but, it is just picking an unpopular group to bring in international taxes.
On a side not, here is a great article from St Louis. CBS - St Louis - Virtual House Arrest Ordered for Minors in East St. Louis
Who says that we cannot make everyone a prisoner?

Okay not all better; but, better
The Pimpernel is better and is drinking fluids and eating soup. I actually took a day off to heal, not as young as I was. I slept a lot and tried to read the news. I read where Romney said that he wanted to get rid of some deductions; but, he didn't say which ones. I know which ones, the middle class ones and the one for homeowners. It is already being discussed. Romney's plan is to get rid of deductions for the middle class and keep them for the wealthy.
Richard Nixon was a working class guy, he did some bad things, things that other Presidents had done; but, still wrong. He also proposed a flat tax, 20% or so across the board on income. It is the simplest tax in the world. He also got us off of the gold standard and that was a good thing. There used to be a joke, the golden rule that the person who had the gold made the rules. What is gold, it is simply a metal that has limited uses beyond jewelry.
The moment you buy into gold, you buy into being used. You make a useless metal your God and you can be bought. I would rather have a sandwich than gold. I can live without gold, I cannot live without food. It is said that in heaven the streets are paved with gold, it is that meaningless and would make for lousy streets.
Still kind of out of it in my head. Sorry the post is not better. I did have a point; but, I lost it. Have a great night.

Pimpernel is all better
Just woke up it is 12:00 in the morning. The fever has broken and I slept a lot, lol. I wont say I am normal because I don't know what normal is. I am kind of fuzzy; but, not sweaty and freezy. My dreams were odd and confused. I actually don't hate fevers, just the being cold or hot, the dream part is okay.
I am not fully awake and not asleep. I am still in that in between space, my mind is not oppressed by the world yet, merely confused by it and having it's own thoughts. I have emotional memories, memories of things that mattered to me at the time, things that have passed and people that have moved on. I shall drink lots of water tomorrow.
I had a dream once, I dreamed that I was in an amusement park and it was my home. The little cart went round and round and fell out and tried to get back on. Nonsense; but, emotional to me at the time. Dreams are an escape from the harshness of here, heaven is much better than either. I will not remember this post tomorrow, don't ask me about it, merely ramblings because I slept too much and have not awoken yet.
Is there such a thing as sleep writing? My nose keeps running; but, I keep toilet paper near me. I don't think I am all better; but, better enough to go in tomorrow. I don't want to lay in bed for another day. I think as we age we have less energy; but, we still think we can do the same things, muscle memory or something like it.
Shout outs to two women in the north, my Robbie and another. LOL. I might just have to go north again next year. I will play a song and go back to my fevered sleep, rofl.

Completely out of it, back to bed.

I Have a Fever
I was running around so much yesterday that I was not paying attention to my body. Yesterday I woke up kind of shaky; but, just didn't make anything of it. I couldn't eat dinner and went to bed; but, kept going in and out of weird dreams and would wake up covered in sweat and cold.
The dreams were those strange fever dreams, semi lucid. Don't expect a big post tonight, I am still trying to shake it off. I hate the part where you lose your taste buds during a fever, that and the clammy skin; but, the dreams are the most interesting.
Anyways, don't worry about the Pimpernel, I am sure I will be fine. And in case you are wondering, I never take flu shots. I believe (as do many nurses) that they prevent you from gaining natural immunities. I don't think getting sick is always a bad thing, sometimes our bodies have to speak up for themselves.

Still Here
I have been very busy, had to take someone to a doctor appointment and other things. I try and read the news and provide relevant content to my dear readers. I don't write about the garbage that you can read in every news source, I look for what might have been missed.
I did read something, I read that Elliot Broidy would receive his sentence Friday. We will see if it makes the news. I also got notified by Google that all of my g-mail documents have been moved to the cloud.
For those who have been long time readers, isn't it interesting to watch these things transpire? Soon the government and the Federal Reserve will own just about all mortgages, they already control the water and what you can farm and your healthcare. You can vote for Romney or Obama or anyone, it doesn't really matter at this point. We don't produce enough to sell to others, that is just the truth. We manufacture the best weapons in the world; therefore, we make our money from wars. If the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.
What happens when cannot afford war any longer? The Chinese are not going to come and attack us, they like selling our inventions to us. They just want to get paid with real money. What happens when nobody wants our dollars? Some say we need a revolution and then what, we still don't make anything to sell to others. Who wants to work for $2 a day?

BioMetrics in New Jersey
You are not allowed to smile in New Jersey when you get your drivers license, it messes up the biometric database that they use to track you.
Yahoo News - ABC News - New Jersey Bans Smiling in Driver's License Photos
On a side note, I was recently told by someone that their child would be required to have a Facebook account for school so that they could be in contact with their teacher. Hey, Facebook uses facial recognition software, does that mean that the school is requiring all students to be bio-metrically identified, that is the effect of the rule.
