It seems that those we have elected to govern us, are "all" acting like fifth graders on the play ground. Not just any fifth grader, but the ones that ran to the teacher to say its not "fair" that they did not get selected by either side in playing dodge ball.  So what happens next, yes you guessed it, the teacher forces a team to take this kid on, and well through the natural chain of elimination this kid gets the piss knocked out of them right off the bat when someone screams game on. They are off to the teacher crying because now they got hurt, first knocked off the team, first to get nailed by the ball, and now its not "fair".  Can you actually believe the way this adults are behaving in Washington, yes and i also mean our newly elected "President."  Our government is there to do right by the "people" not right by the politically party that they are members of.  Maybe its a good time to just get rid of the "party" all together, wouldn't that be something??? we would actually place someone in office who will do right by the PEOPLE, not the PARTY!!!  The state or arizona took actions in there own hands because the federal government has sat on their hands for ever on the issue of the border.  Now you here it in the press by many of how wrong it is...BLAH BLAH BLAH.. well it seems these are always the people that want the government to do things for them, everything.  What happened to taking care of yourself?? Look we are not in this mess because of our newly elected president...he may not be helping the issue, but he did end up with the "shit sandwich."  But my advice to him, and really that means nothing, stand up...be the President!!!  Your not running for election, so stop running around like your running a campaign, and run the damn country!!!  I see him on T.V. so much that i see his lips moving, but no longer hear what he is saying, do the job or get out of the way and  let your wife do it Mr. President.  And for the rest of you Jack-ass's in washington stopping pissing and moaning, and do what is right for the country not whats right for your career, or your political association.  Now you can tell by the mention of "DODGE BALL", that i came from an era in our nation when kids were kids and got there ass's kicked and kicked ass, now its at a time when "EVERYONE GETS A TROPHY" here billy your trophy for sitting your ass on the bench because you dont even have the skills to walk and chew gum at the same time, or your so damn fat that you cant even run 5yrds with out struggling for a breath of air.  Now we have people wanting the government to tell me how much salt is too much...or its Mcdonalds faulty my kid is fat lazy..and will have health issues alone that will financially cripple the health care system, because the "government" is not telling me how to be a responsible parent.  Educate oneself, become independent (self-sufficient, self-supporting) than being dependent (subject,subservient, lesser,  clinging,reliant, unable to sustain oneslf).  Now what would happen with our country if we got back to using common since, and got back to doing what is right for everyone in the country.  STOP PLAYING POLITICS YOU DAMN GROWN UP FIFTH GRADERS!!!!!

The 24th december 2009 i feel our country will make a major leap in a direction in which we will never recover it from.  I may be wrong, maybe this government health care is a good thing.  But lets see i have been associated with "our" government since the age of 17.  And well it's not the worst, but dealing with the amount of people in the military, maybe it's not that bad.  To be honest i do not feel that our government can take care of the people.  So i just want to go out on the edge and say "GOODBYE  TO AMERICA."   It is not the country i grew up in any more, and you know what there was nothing wrong with the country i grew up in.  I know for a fact it is not the country my parents grew up in.   So what i am doing about...I am a voice.   I am worried about my son, he has to grow up in the new era in which our country is traveling.  So i will teach him to plant crops to hunt to fish to provide for himself, and his family.  To realize that the government  was not established to have total control over those in which support it.

  Why is it so difficult to really know what is fact or fiction anymore when it comes to politics in america?  Senator Barney Franks at his own Town Hall meeting stated "dont trust the government."  But is he not a represenative of the government?  This health care program is really all that we  hear about, and are we hearing the truth behind it all.  And the elected officials that represent us as the "people for the people" do not even take time out of their day to read what they plan to vote on, its their assistance that read for them, therefore it is the assistance that tell them what they need to know.   I really have not read the bill myself, not going to address what is in it or not, what is thought to be in it.  But having spent a day or two in the military, and having the health care provided, it was not always the "BEST", but it was not always the worst.  But the key in military health care is, its not supposed to be the best.  My thought in this blog is not to talk about the health care issue itself, but I am curious to what are elected officials options will be if this bill is passed?  Funny thing is I have this sneaky suspicion that "they" to include as many people in their family tree will have something much better than the common man or woman or child in our society.  And really is that "fair?"  We have heard the "fair" word brought up to address many things under this new adminsitration.  So we are going to settle for someone telling us what is fair, yet they are not going to apply that to their life?

  I am not going to slam either party of this politcal "Beast" that have in this country, It would be safe for you to assume which party I tend to vote for.  But they to have failed "us".  I think what makes this country the country that many men and now many women have fought and died for in combat, so great, is the fact that we as the people elect what we assume will be the people that will do what is right by and for the people.  I will not point a finger, but whats up with attacking an administration and what it is doing, then getting a new administration then getting  upset because the people are attacking an administration and what it is doing?  Am I an adult now watching our elected officials acting like 5th graders on the play ground?  And really are they taking a role in which they will tell me what is "right" for me? Now I can not just help to picture Congress and the Senate, in their yearly picture standing on the steps on the halls that represent freedom, with all of them wearing a white wig. Now you may not agree with my point of view, but do take in  how what is occuring in this great nation is not that which is  bringing us together but seperating us as the people.  Our elected officials are doing nothing for the people, but they are doing for the party.  What I mean by that is simple, Republicans and Democrats are no longer working for the people they are working for the party.  Now I do not know if I am the only one, but I do recall hearing something when I was younger growing up.  "UNITED WE STAND DIVIDED WE FALL."

  How about as a party of the people we take a stand and stop putting people in office because they have Dr. or a Degree in law, or what university they attended, and we put people in office who will do right by the people for the people.  Let me keep it simple, their shit stinks just like mine and yours.  How about we elect people who understand what this country is about... "It's about the people and not the Party."

  Again more endless BLA BLA BLA... but sure glad I got that out of my system!!1

I have know this for some time in my choosen career that it happens in three's.  Just recently in my field we have had two of the three.  The first was in an accident that claimed the life of the instructor and luckily for the student he did get away with his life.  The second was at night and all walked away.  It seems that it just gets closer to home the more "senior" I get in life, as a younger man you heard of it happening in three's, but usually it was aviation wide.  Meaning you would hear of an accident, and some other place in (for example) Army aviation you would hear of a second then a third.  So it's not the fact that it doe's happen in three's its the fact that two have happened so close to home.  Yet I go to work ever day and do the thing I do.  But what I question is "Does it really happen in three's across the board of life"?  Three teeth that have a cavity, three tickets for speeding, three arquements with a loved one?  Or could it be just a natural occurence and we have selected to categorize them in three's?  There is nothing that will bring one's life back into perspective when someone you know or work with or know of, has lost their life in doing something that you have in common with them, a job a hobby.  I have no idea what others thought when the first accident occured and the instructor was doing what he did every day, but I will tell you this it hit home to me.  Could that be because I am no longer young and ivincible, or I am just smart enough to realize that if it could happen to him it could happen to anyone in our line of business.  I kind of liked it when I was just young and invincible. So we go do the things we do everyday, what else are we to do.  Have our jobs become what makes us who we are, or can we put the job down and be who we truely are?  Well can you get paid to be an A_ _ Hole? Someone once told me that "all" pilots are the same.  WOW, so what they were really saying was.."I was just like all the rest in this field."  I use to think it was the fact that it was something  that I loved to do and enjoy, and the wonderful feeling I have when I am flying, but it is who I am.             So Lets get back to the THREE's.  Could they apply to life and the good things that may occur?  Three pay raises?  Three days off (paid days off)?  Three wonderful days with your young child?  Thee wild and romantic nights with a loved one..or someone, someone else loves? Three free Big-Mac's?  How about in deaths of people in the news...did we just not have three.  I know its more than that but maybe 3 occured and it started over again.  I came off a Horse the other day, and started the three at where I was riding.  Funny how you hear of the first or the second..and you hold your breath that you do not become the third.  Why Three's?  How come it can not be 200 or 10,000.  Would the odds not be in ones favor if we said it all happened in the millions?  Well again I have went on about myself but whom better to talk about ME than ME!! And what better format than this place..not many read these things..and well i can just go on BLA BLA BLA..and i have removed things out of the way that at some point in time could just get into the way.
