I wish to relate an incident from when I worked in the
Marketing Department of The Quiet Hour Christian ministry in Redlands,
California.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I was tasked to come up with an advertisement for our
Ministry for one of the magazines produced by the denomination. I got together
with my Graphic Artist and I came up with two concepts.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The concepts were designed to be different than what every
other ministry provides as advertisements for their ministry. I said if our
advertisements look the same as everyone else’s we do not appear different or
special. We just blend in and go unnoticed. I also said if we run a half-page
ad then we are the only ad on that page but when we run a one-third or
one-quarter page ad there are other ads from other ministries and we got lost
in the shuffle.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I asked my Graphic Artist to come up with two concepts.
First was to design people in the shape of numbers and the second was to design
people in the shape of sheep. In the first ad the wording would be: WHILE OTHER
CHRISTIAN MINISTRIES TREAT YOU AS A NUMBER THE QUIET YOUR TREATS YOU AS A
PERSON.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In the second it was: WHILE
OTHER CHRISTIAN MINISTRIES TREAT YOU LIKE YOU ARE ONE OF THE MANY SHEEP IN THE
FLOCK THE QUIET YOUR MINISTRY TREATS YOU AS A PERSON.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Our Management personnel told me our advertisement concepts
were stupid and to do what everyone else does. I protested and was told to do
as they say so we did. Do you want to know what happened when we produced a
one-quarter page ad that looked like the ads of all the other ministries that
posted ads?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When the magazine came in I went page by page looking for
our ad and I did not find it. I went through the magazine again and again and
again and still was unable to find our ad even though I knew what it looked
liked. Finally I had to go on each page of the magazine and X out every ad and
finally about three-fourths of the way through the magazine our ad was the only
one not X out.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
We got lost in the shuffle because old stuck in a rut
Management people refused to believe me that being special and unique and to
ensure you don’t look like every else would work.</div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
People hate me because I tell them I believe we faked the
landing on the moon in July 1969. I have many reasons for believing it but I
will list two of them here.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The first reason is I find it hard to believe that we had
technology in 1961 to only launch a human in a capsule that flew 200 miles from
Florida and crashed in the Atlantic Ocean to eight years later landing on the
moon. I do not believe we had the technology to do it that quickly.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The second reason is radiation from the radiation belts
surrounding the Earth which we call the Van Allen Radiation Belts as they were
discovered by a man named Van Allen.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIcBWq4OTQf1GwkRSbrPMMBMNhJ9dbVjLpuIJ-jGGkZ8UFonAkMO39GbgYDuJPcSLtEy0H83NzjlLVLsoFourwL7vJCFTJXHuPiW57u_z0xIQAomQwdfngzl_6RdslbRarfEfIjfD151o/s1600/VanAllenRadiationBelts.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1074" data-original-width="1600" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIcBWq4OTQf1GwkRSbrPMMBMNhJ9dbVjLpuIJ-jGGkZ8UFonAkMO39GbgYDuJPcSLtEy0H83NzjlLVLsoFourwL7vJCFTJXHuPiW57u_z0xIQAomQwdfngzl_6RdslbRarfEfIjfD151o/s320/VanAllenRadiationBelts.jpg" width="320" /></a>The radiation belts start at around 1,000 miles above the
surface of the Earth and go as high as 36,000 miles from the Earth. The
radiation in these radiation belts is so intense it would make what happens in
a microwave oven look tame.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
For information and evaluation purposes the International
Space Station flies at an altitude of around 200 to 250 miles above the Earth
and so does the Space Shuttle when it flew. Now if Astronauts on the Space
Shuttle and International Space Station are around 600 miles below the
beginning of the radiation belts, and their spacecraft have shielding, then can
you explain away why everyone who comes back from the International Space
Station and Space Shuttle suffer from radiation sickness? </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
They suffer radiation sickness because the radiation is high
from these radiation belts surrounding the Earth. And after you enter from
1,000 miles to 36,000 miles into the radiation belts the radiation is extremely
powerful and intense and no living item would be able to survive. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We have been able to send unmanned craft through the radiation
belts but if you go back and watch video of Mission Control at NASA when these
electronic systems were launched to circle the moon to take photos for the
eventual (possible) moon landing you will notice something consistent and
unusual. For about one hour NASA loses all control with the space craft. They
hear nothing for about an hour and that is around the time it takes the vehicle
to go from 1,000 miles above the Earth (where the radiation belts begin) to
36,000 miles above the Earth (where the radiation belts end). After the craft
gets far enough away from the radiation belts they have limited communications
due to the radiation belts.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If you want to see an interesting movie from 1977 look up on
Netflix to see if they have the movie Capricorn One. It is about a mission to
Mars that never happened. They were unable to do it due to technology
limitation so they set up a movie set in the desert and faked the Mars landing.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Do I honestly believe they did the same thing with the Moon
landing in July 1969? You bet I do!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You go and research the information I provided then you make
your own decision. If you still believe we really managed to send humans through
the most vicious radiation belts known to mankind then I will respect your
decision. I, on the other hand, will always believe the Moon landing by humans
was faked in a movie studio.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
I have a question and I hope someone has a better answer
than I have.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I want to know why, if your pet is terminally ill, you have
the option to bring them to the Veterinarian and have your pet euthanized to
end their suffering, but when you have a terminally ill human family member you
are not allowed to, and they are not allowed to, ask that they be euthanized to
end their suffering.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
My last wife was diagnosed with breast cancer in April 2005.
She suffered horribly, and painfully, until July 17, 2009, when they finally
passed away.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
She wanted to put an end to her suffering and I did also.
But the law prevented us from doing so. However after she passed away my dog,
Lucky, was no longer able to eat or stand or walk and could barely breathe, and
I was able to take him to the Veterinarian and have him euthanized to end his
suffering.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Do you, the reader, have any logical reason why animals are
allowed to be put out of their suffering but humans, in most States, are not
able to do the same thing when their suffering is unbearable?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Here is what I think is going on. The Medical industry is
one of the most lucrative, meaning money-making, industries in the world. If a
person is terminally ill and suffering horribly and they give them an injection
and in a few moments they are no longer alive they make only a little bit of
money.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But what if they keep you on a machine that breathes for
you, circulates your blood for you, and filters your blood since your kidneys
are no longer working? They make thousands of dollars per day keeping you alive
you think? So if they can give you an injection to let you pass away they might
make one thousand dollars. If they force you to stay alive for as long as they
can they can make hundreds of thousands of dollars.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
That is what I believe is going on. What do you think?</div>

<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Today my story is about my friend Eddie. We went to High School
together but we attended different Elementary and Junior High Schools
due to living in a different district for those two schools.</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
We always teased
Eddie for being Gay since being Gay back in 1969 to 1972, our High
School years, was considered rare and amusing at the same time. We
even taunted Eddie, but as our friend and not maliciously, by
chanting EDDIE IS A HOMO!</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Yeah I look back on
that now and realize me and my friends were morons but Eddie didn’t
mind.</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Was Eddie out to
recruit others into being Gay? Nope! Eddie was the nicest and
generous person you would ever want to meet and have as a friend.
Many times I visited Eddie at his house and we got high on drugs and
I would pass out. When I revived I was fine. Eddie never laid a
finger on me and never touched me in any manner. That is how much of
a true friend and gentleman Eddie was.</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
We hooked up in the
1990’s by chance through Classmates website. Want to know what
Eddie told me?</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Eddie asked me if I
remember all of us calling him a Homo and I said I remembered and I
apologize for my actions. Eddie said not to apologize as it was a
rare concept from 1969 to 1971.</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Eddie then asked me
if I hear the stories people tell that you are born as a homosexual
or lesbian and I told him I have heard of that. He said that is
bullshit. He said you are born heterosexual and you are
“indoctrinated” into being homosexual or lesbian. He said one of
his Uncles introduced him to same-sex affairs and told him it was not
unusual and to accept it so Eddie told me he did accept it but it
never felt right.</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Eddie then told me
he realized it was wrong, and against how he was born, so he left
being a homosexual, got married to a woman, they are happy and they
have two children. Eddie told me to never buy into the concept that
people are born homosexual or lesbian as that is not true.</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
I learned a lot from
Eddie that day.</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Growing up in Oakland, California, one of my best friends was a guy
named Richard. We went to the same schools from Elementary, Junior
High, and High School. The event I will mention in this article took
place during our Senior year at Skyline High School in Oakland in
1971.</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Before I go into
that I need to give you some background information.
</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Me and Richard were
best friends. We were inseparable. We did everything together. Now
remember this started in 1964 when we moved to live in the Oakland
hills near Sequoia Country Club.</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Back then we didn’t
have the stupid racial bullshit we have today. I am White. Richard is
Black. We were like twins only different skin colors.</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
It was maybe when me
and Richard were in either 9<sup>th</sup> Grade in Junior High or in
10<sup>th</sup> Grade in High School when my mother walked up to me
while I was alone in the house, as Richard just left to return home,
and she said the following:</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Mother: Andy I just
noticed something.</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Me: What?</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Mother: Richard is
Black.</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Me: Yeah and
Richard has been black since we became friends in 1964 so your point
is?</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Mother: I just
never noticed he was Black.</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
For me that was a
good thing. My parents didn’t look at others as White, Black,
Asian, Hispanic, or something else. They looked at them as people.</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
So what happened in
1971 during our Senior year at Skyline High School? I drove to school
and was walking past the Administration building where our flagpole
was located. I noticed about 10 to 15 Black students marching around
the flagpole chanting things about equal rights, equality, and saying
things like they were under-privileged. I saw Richard, my best friend
of seven years, marking around the flagpole with a sign that said I’M
UNDER-PRIVILEGED.</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
I walked up to the
group marching around the flagpole and up to Richard. I asked Richard
how he can hold a sign saying he is under-privileged when his father,
as a Deputy Sheriff with Alameda County makes more than my father who
woks as an Electrician for the City of Oakland. I also asked Richard
since we both live in the same well-do-do rich people neighborhood of
Oakland, and his house was nicer than our house in the same
neighborhood, how can he say he is under-privileged.</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Richard’s answer:
ANDY YOU JUST DON’T UNDERSTAND.</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />

<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
In a Constitutional Republic, which is what the United States is, we
function under a system of Capitalism. This means your property is
your property and people, businesses, or government cannot take that
away from you. It also means if you work hard you become successful
and the money you earn is yours that means people, or businesses, or
government cannot take away from you.</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Under the systems of
Socialism and Communism you work to produce goods or services, or to
earn money, then they take most of it away from you to give it to
those who are lazy and don’t want to work. They do this under the
lie they just want “equality” for everyone. This is what you see
Democrats in the United States trying to do now.</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Here is how things
work under Capitalism. Person A and makes $1,500 for the month.
Person B works and makes $500 per month. Of course person B sees the
difference and whines that they are not making as much as Person A.
What happens is that Person A informs Person B that if they improve
their education and job skills and perform better at work they will
earn more money. If Person B follows that logic soon they will be on
equal terms with Person A who is making $1,500 month.</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
But how does this
work under Socialism and Communism? Person A makes $1,500 per month
because they educated themselves, obtained more job skills, and work
hard. Person B has not improved their education, they lack job
skills, and they are lazy at work. Under Socialism and Communism the
Government takes $500 away from Person A so that although they earned
$1,500 they now have only $1,000 in their possession. The Government
then takes the $500 they took away from Person A and hand it to lazy
Person B and when added to their original income of $500 they now
also have $1,000 as Person A now has.</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Unfortunately
Democrats and Liberals in the United States think Socialism and
Communism is fair as it redistributes wealth so everyone is even. I
feel that stealing from one person to give it a lazy person just so
their incomes are comparable is horrible.</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
What is always the
final result under Socialism and Communism? Person A is tired of
doing double the work of lazy Person B but ending up with the same
amount of money after the Government steals money from them to hand
to lazy Person B. Person A figures if they reduce their work
production and drop down to $500 per month then the Government will
steal from someone else to give to them so that they have the same
income as hard working people.</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
In every case where
Socialism and Communism has been tried it has failed. The reason it
failed is because people don’t feel like working, or farming, or
making things to sell, if the Government then steals from them and
hand it to others. Eventually you transition from a country where 50
percent work and 50 percent are on the take to where only 10 percent
work and 90 percent are on the take and the economy fails.</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Look at what
happened to Venezuela in 2018 and 2019 and that tells the story of
how Socialism and Communism are failures as economic and Government
systems.</div>

Since the Mueller investigation report was released where Special
Counsel Robert Mueller stated in his findings there was no collusion
with Russia by President Trump or anyone associated with his
campaign, and that there was no Obstruction of Justice on the part of
President Trump, we still have half the Democrats in Congress
demanding Impeachment of Trump. Shall we discuss this?</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
There have been 45
Presidents over the history of the United States. Only two
Presidents, Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton, have been Impeached.
This means the process of Impeachment of a President is rarely used
and under normal situations, like what we have with President Trump,
wouldn’t be successful anyway.</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Both Andrew Johnson
and Bill Clinton were Impeached but using the lesser process which is
a written letter of reprimand and they leave them in office.
</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Now I know what some
of you are thinking and that is President Richard Nixon was Impeached
so why are you not talking about that. I am informing you that
Richard Nixon was not Impeached he resigned. The official Impeachment
process was never started on Nixon. And several of the Attorneys who
worked on figuring out of Impeachment on President Nixon would have
worked have all stated that even if they had started the process
there was not enough evidence to Impeach Nixon.</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
What about President
Trump? He was found innocent off all accusations of collusion with
Russia and Obstruction of Justice. If the Democrats in Congress even
tried to prepare Impeachment documents they would get slam dunked so
hard they wouldn’t regain consciousness for months. I keep telling
people with all the illegal things President Obama did, and nobody
brought up Impeachment on him, then with Trump being innocent of all
accusations there is no way Democrats would be successful if they
tried Impeachment.</div>

<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
I worked for 20 years in the United States Navy, and for 22 years in
the civilian workforce, and I would like to tell you how I was
harassed in the workplace.</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
While in the United
States Navy I had so many jealous people try to take me out and take
me down. Thry ranged from the lowest-ranking Enlisted member of
Seaman Recruit to the highest ranking Officer which is an Admiral. In
every case their accusations were false. What I did was tell them if
they believe I am guilty of their accusations then bring me before a
Court-Martial (same as going to a Court for a trial in the civilian
world) and let’s see what happens. I also told them when the
Court-Martial finds me innocent of their accusations I will
counter-sue them for bringing a frivolous lawsuit against me. Guess
what? Never once did anyone bring charges or accusations against me
to a Court-Martial because they knew they were wrong and I was right.</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
During my time out
of the United States Navy I worked in the civilian workforce for 22
years both full-time and part-time. I worked for Government Civil
Service, I worked for the City of Oakland, California, I worked at
three church-related organizations, and then I worked at a
rehabilition facility.</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
In each of these
civilian jobs there were the same jealous people but instead of
wearing a Navy uniform they wore civilian clothing. They accused me
of everything you can think of. Go ahead and toss some accusations
out there and don’t spare your creativity as I am sure I was
accused of it. As I did when I was in the Navy I stood up to these
people and told them if they believe I am guilty of their accusations
then bring a lawsuit against me. I reminded them the entire burden of
proof is on them, the accusing party, to prove me guilty as I am
innocent until proven guilty. I dared them to bring a lawsuit against
me so that when I am cleared of their accusations I can counter-sue
them for bringing a frivolous lawsuit against me. Guess what? Never
once did anyone bring charges of accusaitons against me in a lawsuit
to bring it into court for a trial because they knew they were wrong
and I was right.</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
My point is simply
that I have stood up to the jealous accusations against me and in
every case these people backed down as their accusations aagainst me
were false. You need to do the same thing and never let anyone abuse
and threaten you. Not in the work place, not at school, and not in
your family.</div>

<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
You hear a lot about Palestine in the news, in debates in Congress,
and you wonder what is going on. Today I am here to tell you what is
going on.</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
The history of the
region where the area, district, whatever you call it other than a
“country” is not a country at all. It is a region, area,
district, location, etc., where a group of people who have never had
a country decided to call it their home.</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
If you read the
Bible you know that the Israelites wondered for a very long time to
get their stubbornness out of them. Finally God told them where they
were to settle and they settled where God told them to.</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
To be a valid legal
“country” you must have a Government, regulations, borders, and
of course a national flag. Palestine has never had any of those
things. Up until around 2008 they came under control of Jordan. They
were classified as Jordinians and carried passports issued by the
country of Jordan. Finally Jordan became tired of dealing with these
people so they stoppeed supporting them.</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Palestinians have
been demanding to have their “country” recognized by the world
even though in the history of the world they have never had a legal
valid “country” as we define countries.</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Israel, on the other
hand, was given legal valid “country” or “nation” status on
May 14, 1948.</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
I have friends who
are Palestinian and all of them say the same thing. They said Jordan
didn’t support them and now that they are on their own, with no
government, no financial system, and no jobs, they are in huge
trouble economically. All their jobs, medical facilities, etc., are
located in Israel. Most of my Palestinian friends tell me if they
would come under control of Israel they would be way better off than
when whey were under control of Jordan and of course way better off
than they are today on their own.</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
There you go. You
have just been schooled.’</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
White privilege? Seriously? You think there is White
privilege? Let me give you two personal incidents that happened to me while I
was living in Oakland, California, and then you tell me I was the benefit of
White privilege.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
First incident:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
stayed with my mother for a few months in 1982. I would walk to the Fruitvale
BART Station in Oakland. Nearly everyone on the platform was smoking cigarettes
so I lit up and was smoking. Two BART Police Officers approached me, one Black
and one Hispanic, and they told me I am violating the law by smoking on
the<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>BART platform. I told them everyone
is smoking, and there are cigarette ash cans everywhere, so why am I being
confronted for smoking on the platform. The two officers said smoking is not
allowed on BART platforms. They then looked around and said they didn’t see
anyone else smoking, only me, and they gave me a $50 Citation. So all the Blacks
and Hispanics on the platform smoking were ignored and me, a White male, was
issued a citation. Sure great to have White privilege eh?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Second incident:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
saw a job listing in the Oakland Tribune newspaper. They were looking for
people to teach “entry level administrative skills” to high school students so
they can apply for jobs and have some experience. The only requirements listed
for the job were:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>(1) You must have at
least 5 years work experience in the Administrative field. (2) You must have a
desire to teach others Administrative skills. (3) You must be able to type 50
words per minute or faster.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When I called a Black woman answered the phone and talked
with me. She asked me my skills and I told her I had 8 years as an
Administrative Assistant, I love helping people obtain entry level
Administrative skills so they have experience going into a job interview. She
then asked about my typing speed. I told her I am around 70 words per minute
(which was 20 over their minimum requirement) and I told her I would be willing
to take a typing test to verify my speed and accuracy. Her immediate response
was:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>IF YOU CAN’T TYPE 50 WORDS PER
MINUTE OR MORE WE DON’T WANT YOU!!! Then she slammed the phone and hung up on
me. Never gave me a chance to take a typing skills test. Sure great to have
White privilege eh?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In my 42 years of working I’ve never obtained a job due to
being White. I’ve never obtained a job for being a White Male. I’ve never
received any special benefits for being White. I have, though, been
discriminated in job hiring, promotions, etc., for being White.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Yeah, sure is great to have White privilege eh?</div>

<br />
In the mid-1970’s my father, Allen Eide, had already
divorced my mother and married my step-mother Nell. Nell lived in Santa Rosa
and father lived with her.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
For many years my father suffered with two types of cancer.
One was prostate cancer and the other was bone marrow cancer. Both were painful
for him to deal with.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In the mid-1970’s I was contacted by Nell to come up to
Santa Rosa as she didn’t think my father would last long. While I was visiting we
were not sure if my father would pass very soon. At the time I was visiting one
of Nell’s sons was at her house also but he lived in the San Jose area. Here is
a conversation that took place.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
NELL:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Oh I wish it
was me dying of cancer instead of Allen? He shouldn’t have to suffer like this!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
NELL’S SON:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Why are
you so upset over this? It’s not like it is my father!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Yes you read that correctly. While I was standing in the
same room with Nell and her son, her son made that comment to me. Basically he
was saying that it wasn’t his father dying and he doesn’t care.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Want to know something about his father? Nell’s first
husband, who is the father of her son who made this rude insulting comment,
died of a drug overdose. Let me tell you what happened. His father was a Pharmacist
and he was so stressed and depressed that he decided to commit suicide. Being a
Pharmacist he had all the drugs available to him and he knew what each of the
drugs would do to him. Yes he overdosed on drugs as a Pharmacist and yet he
disrespected my father for dying of cancer which was outside of his control.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But you know what? I had to deal with this and accept it even
though it hurt to hear those comments. Sometimes you have to turn away and walk
away and try to not react when things like this happen.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

Today I will talk about the two highest cost in our home which
are electricity and water. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Our water bill is based on consumption and Gwinnett County
Department of Water Services bills a certain rate for water based on 8,000
gallons per month for a single family home. Usage over 8,000 gallons is billed
at a higher rate.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I informed everyone how to save water such as: don’t stay
long in the shower, don’t run water constantly if you are sitting in a bath, don’t
flush toilet until you absolutely need to, don’t allow water to run <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>while <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>brushing your teeth or shaving. When you wash
dishes by hand turn the water off while you are soaping dishes and only turn
the water on when you need to rinse them. Here are our last four water bills:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">

In the 12 months we have been in the house we have been
under 8,000 gallons but I hope we could be under 8,000 gallons more often.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
When we run air conditioning during hot weather I estimate a
monthly cost of $150 for electricity. This accounts for additional electric
usage as the compressor that cools the air is running in addition to our house
fan. When it comes time to run the heating system we cut electric usage by not
having to run the compressor for the air conditioning. When you consider that
to cool the house from 82 degrees to 72 degrees takes up to 8 hours to
accomplish, and the fan to circulate the air and the compressor both run
constantly, and compare that to running the heating system where we can heat
the home from 63 degrees to 70 degrees in 2 to 3 hours, you can see where we
get a lot of savings on electric usage during heater season over air
conditioning season. We experience a small increase in gas usage as our heating
system is gas fired but that usually amounts to an increase of $10 to $20 per
month on the gas bill.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
September 7, 2018 = $150 (due to using air conditioning a
lot)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

November 7, 2018 = $110 (dropped $40 due to less air
conditioning usage)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
December 7, 2018 =<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>$85
(dropped $15 due to using air conditioning only for a few days)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If you turn off lights when not in the room, run heating and
air conditioning only when necessary, turn water off when taking a bath, brushing
teeth, washing dishes, not flushing the toilet until absolutely necessary, and
washing clothes less frequently, you can save on electricity and water.</div>

I am sorry to post this blog today but the situation in our home with a relative living with us has gotten so bad that both myself, Becx, and Keira, are so stressed we are suffering with health and stress issues. All of us are going to lose our physical and mental health soon if there is not a solution available from an organization we are contacting.<br />
<br />
So I am posting this blog just to air out...to get it off my chest...to de-stress just a little bit. With that said please allow me to state the following:<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;"><b><i>I...</i></b></span><br />

<span style="color: blue;"><b><i><br /></i></b></span>
There's a saying "Take a walk in my shoes before you judge me" and what that means is before you condemn others for what they do, or how they act, take a walk in their shows, see and experience what they are dealing with. Let me give you an example.<br />
<br />
From the mid-1960's until I left the house when I joined the Navy in February 1972 my father drank heavily. We all just chalked it up to him being an alcoholic.<br />
<br />
Many years after I left home and he divorced my mother I visited him and asked him why he drank so much.<br />
<br />
Father replied that he has been suffering with a combination of prostate and bone marrow cancer since the mid-1960's and the pain is so intense the only thing in addition to pain medications he was taking was to drink alcoholic beverages to kill the pain.<br />
<br />
I asked father why he didn't tell us in the family that he was suffering from cancer and he said he didn't want to burden us with his illness.<br />
<br />
I replied that it would have been better for us to know his illness, and his pain, and that he draink to kill the pain, rather than just assume he was a run of the mill alcoholic.<br />
<br />
So before you judge others please take the time to find out what is bothering them, what is ailing them, what is stressing them.<br />
<br />
Thanks!<br />

<span style="color: blue;"><b><i><br /></i></b></span>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
I served on a Jury in San Diego in the late 1990’s. It was a
criminal Attempted Assault and Battery trial against a friend of an Attorney
who was renting office space from a Paralegal who owned an office building in
Chula Vista, California. The case was that the Paralegal who owned the office
building (the Plaintiff) was suing the Attorney who was renting office space
from him claiming that when he went into the Attorney’s office to speak with
him over issues he was having with the Attorney he found a thug sitting at the
Attorney’s desk holding a baseball bat. The Paralegal quickly left the office
and filed the lawsuit claiming that the Attorney was intimidating him with
Attempted Assault and Battery.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
My thought as a Juror was that AN ATTORNEY WHO HAS HIMSELF
AS A CLIENT HAS AN ATTORNEY WHO IS A FOOL and that applied to this Paralegal as
he was representing himself. Here is the very first round of questions.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The Defense Attorney’s first witness was the Paralegal who
was also the Plaintiff. Here is the back and forth as I remember it:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
DEFENSE ATTORNEY:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Have you ever heard of a business in Chula Vista named Cafe Legale?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
PARALEGAL (PLAINTIFF):<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>No.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
DEFENSE ATTORNEY:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
will ask you again. Have you ever heard of a business in Chula Vista named Cafe
Legale?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
PARALEGAL (PLAINTIFF):<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>No.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
She asked him the same question a dozen different ways
including specifically if he owned that business called Cafe Legale in Chula
Vista and he answered No to every way the question was answered.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
DEFENSE ATTORNEY:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Your Honor I would like to introduce this document into evidence for
this trial. It is a filing with San Diego County for a Fictitious Business Name
of Cafe Legale in Chula Vista, California.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Judge looks at the document and enters it as evidence.
Defense Attorney brings document for filing for Fictitious Business Name within
San Diego County to the Witness who is the Paralegal and the Plaintiff. She
shows it to him and points to the document.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
DEFENSE ATTORNEY:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>What is the name of the business requested on this form for filing for Fictitious
Business Name?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
PARALEGAL (PLAINTIFF):<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Cafe Legal.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
DEFENSE ATTORNEY:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Would you please tell the Court who applied for this Fictitious Business
Name and who signed the form?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
PARALRGAL (PLAINTIFF):<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>My name is on the form and I signed it.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
DEFENSE ATTORNEY:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Didn’t you respond, under Oath, on the witness stand, more than a dozen
times that you’ve never heard of the business in Chula Vista named Cafe Legal,
that you are not the owner of that business, and you know nothing about it? But
now you admit you own the business and you filed the document with San Diego
County to legally have the rights to the Fictitious Business Name of Cafe
Legal? Your Honor I’m done with this witness!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
What did I think, as a Juror, at that point in the trial
meaning the very first question session? I thought if this guy, a Paralegal who
should know better, lied under Oath a dozen times on the first question, there’s
no way I could believe anything else he said.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I will not go into all the details but the bottom line is
the person harassing everyone else was the Paralegal who owned the company Cafe
Legal. He terrorized and threatened everyone. He even illegally represented
himself as an Assistant to the Attorney who rented office space from him, and
signed up clients and when those clients came to see the Attorney of course the
Attorney had no clue who these people were.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We obtained a unanimous NOT GUILTY verdict against the
Attorney and his hired protection man. after the trial I waiting for the thug
to get off the phone and then I asked if I could talk to him. I told him I was
on his Jury and he got the Not Guilty Verdict because all the Plaintiff, the
Paralegal did, was lie under oath. Then, under my breath, I said to the thug, I
KNOW YOU DIDN’T WHACK THE JERK WITH THE BASEBALL BAT BUT SEEING WHAT A JERK HE
WAS IN THE COURTROOM I WISH YOU HAD BEAT HIM WITH THE BASEBALL BAT. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The man thanked me for serving on his trial.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Then the Attorneys on the part of the Plaintiff, the
Paralegal, stopped me in the hallway and she asked me straight up why we found
the Defendant Not Guilty. I told her bluntly YOU SENT WITNESS AFTER WITNESS FOR
THE PROSECUTION TO THE WITNESS STAND AND EVERY WITNESS BLEW UP IN YOUR FACE.
FOR CRYING OUT LOUD DON’T SEND WITNESSES TO TESTIFY WHO ALL TURN ON YOU.</div>

When June 2018 hit us in the Atlanta Metro area we were
suddenly plunged into very hot weather. For the first two weeks of June 2018 we
have had high temperatures in the low 90 degrees range. Starting the third week
of June we have the same but the highs are predicted to start dropping by the
third weekend in June.</div>

Just wanted to pop in on our family blog and say we made it through the month of May 2018 and in three days we will have reached our 7th month anniversary of the purchase of our home. Seems like we've lived here longer so that means we like it here.<br />
<br />
See you in June 2018!<br />

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
I married my first wife November 11, 1974. She passed
away from Pneumonia on May 8, 1990. I was born November 14, 1953, which means I
was 36 years and 6 months of age when I became a Widower.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
I remarried on September 30, 1990, and my second wife
developed breast cancer which was diagnosed in April 2005. She suffered
horribly, wasn’t able to endure any medications or treatments, and she suffered
a horrible and painful death and she died on her 59<sup>th</sup> birthday of
July 17, 2009.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
So you think you have it bad because you got a “B” grade
on an exam? You think you have it bad because you applied for a job and you
were not the applicant who was hired? You think you have it bad when your paper
comes back from the teacher with lots of red marks on it for incorrect answers
and wrong spelling? You whine, and cry, and demand a “safe” place at school or
your work and a “support” animal to help you cope with your “problems?”</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Add to what I went through my previously mentioned stress
the fact that I worked for 20 years in the United States Navy, one year as a
Civil Service Secretary, and another 20 years both full-time and part-time, and
you realize that over 42 years of working I was abused, threatened, lied about,
discriminated against, etc. </div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Let me ask you something. Did you become a Widower at 36
years of age and again at the age of 56? Did you have to endure the agonizing
death of someone who suffered through pneumonia and could barely breathe until
they went into a coma and died.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Did you have to endure the agonizing and painful death of
someone who suffered with breast cancer, couldn’t endure any treatments, and
they suffered horribly for four years? Did you have to endure that person
telling you hundreds of times it was your fault they have cancer and they are
dying when you had nothing to do about it?</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
No you didn’t. So until you do don’t even think about
talking about me, to my face or behind my back, and condemn me for my attitude.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
You have it easy compared to what I had. But you want to
know the difference? While you’re a friggin’ entitlement jerk snowflake I’ve
earned everything I obtained, I’m not a jerk, and I know right from wrong.</div>

There is a huge debate going on in the United States
right now. On one side you have David Hogg, a self-professed bully who admitted
he viciously bullied the student that shot up the school he was attending at
the time in Florida. David Hogg then made a public statement that “A bully is a
bully and you have to stand up to bullied” and yet David Hogg, and those who
follow lock-step with him, are bullying everyone else who doesn’t go along with
their gun banning nonsense.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Listen up. During mid-March 2018 David Hogg and his cult
followers made comments during their gun banning march. Some of the comments
are below and I am paraphrasing what they said.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
(1)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>David Hogg
flatly stated he demands that guns be banned. He then said when he accomplishes
banning guns if we refuse to hand over our guns he will kill us.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
(2)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A female
student from the school stated that she knows they are not going to be able to
get a total ban on guns. So she went on to state they will accept banning of
smaller things like a certain type of gun or ammunition. She then said “Once we
have them conceded and give us an INCH we will TAKE A MILE!<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
(3)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These anti-gun
people also think an AR-15 is an “Assault Rifle” and it is not. They demand all
Assault Rifles are banned. They don’t seem to know that the United State
already bans Assault Rifle. They also don’t know that an AR-15 is not an
Assault Rifle. The pure definition of an Assault Rifle is a fully automatic
weapon which means a machine gun. The AR-15 is not a machine gun. It fires only
one shot at a time. It is the equivalent of having a rifle version of a pistol
that has a slide mechanism. Once you fire a shot the gasses open the chamber
and load another round. That is not a machine gun people!</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
David Hogg has gone on to attack Fox News, Laura
Ingraham, and several politicians including Senator John McCain, and he demands
to know why they take money donations from the NRA (National Rifle
Association). I ask David Hogg “Why are you taking money from the DNC
(Democratic National Committee) and George Soros? The accusations works both
ways you know.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Here’s the bottom line. Those who want to ban guns, and
they are usually Liberals and Democrats, want OUR guns, YOUR guns, taken away,
but they don’t want their guns taken away. Listen closely when you hear
Democrat Politicians talk about banning guns. Watch when someone asks them if
they will also give up their guns and they always answer “No we will not give
up our guns as the gun banning law will not apply to politicians.” Please
remember the Constitution prohibits Congress from making laws that apply to our
Citizens but not to members of Congress.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
So here are your choices. You can fight these gun banning
fanatics and remain as a Citizen who is able to protect yourself from those who
want to ban our guns...or you can give up your Constitutional Right to Bear
Arms and then you become a target for those who banned YOUR guns but they kept
their guns.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Time to make an intelligent decision.</div>

Often I find Scientists and Astronomers to be beyond
hilarious. Scientists are to base their findings on only absolute proven facts.
Astronomers tend to make stuff up to try to explain what we don’t know.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
The first item is that they claim when we look outward
with telescopes we can see to the far reaches of the Universe. In reality we
can barely see two or three planets away from Earth. To date we have not been
able to see to the center of our Milky Way Galaxy. And yet these Astronomers
and Scientists claim we can see half way across the Universe when we cannot
even see clearly to the last planet in our Solar System and have never yet been
able to view the center of our own Milky Way Galaxy.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">

The other day I’m watching Science Channel program titled
How the Universe Works. On this episode they were asking the question why the
planet Mercury has less thickness of a mantle than Venus, Earth, and Mars,
since all four planets are “inner” planets and should be very similar in how
they are made up.</div>

objects is what formed planets. They claim that when these huge objects hurl
toward each other and collide they come together to form a planet. Here on
Earth I have yet to see any collision or explosion “create” anything except to
create a mess.</div>

Scientists can believe that things crashing into each other creates things.</div>

and that created everything in the Universe. Have you ever seen an explosion
create something? No you have not. We didn’t drop bombs on each other during
wars to make new things we dropped these bombs to destroy what already exists.
Do you honestly believe if we put a large explosive device into a large dump
site and blew it up that it would create a car, an airplane, or a building,
from the explosion? Of course you wouldn’t believe that it would.</div>

So on this episode of How the Universe Works they had to
try to come up with an explanation why the crust, or mantle, of Mercury is only
one-third the thickness of those of Venus, Earth, and Mars. Are you ready for
their explanation? Are you sure? Be ready to laugh okay?</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
These same Scientists who claim that items smashing into
each other causes them to come together and form planets now state that items
crashing into Mercury caused two-thirds of the mantle, or crust, to be knocked
off and fly off into space, therefore reducing the size of the planet Mercury
and the thickness of the mantle.</div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
So which is it? Does violent explosions and collisions
“create” stuff or “destroy” stuff? It cannot be both. The laws of Physics prove
that explosions and collisions will destroy things.</div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Scientists and Astronomers keep me laughing.</div>

Although my main theme for the month of March is
“marching” things there’s nothing wrong with me marching into this month’s
topics by talking about the right side of things.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Studies have proven that humans have two faces. Well they
have one face but two sides which are the right side and the left side.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Studies have also proven that when someone wants to see
if another person is sincere and honest they look at the right side of that
person’s face as the right side of the face will give you away.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
If you don’t believe me then you can look up the research
on this subject yourself and you will find I am talking the truth.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
In fact even animals know this concept and in most cases
when an animal looks at you to determine if you are being real and honest or
fake and lying they will look to the left toward the right side of your face.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
So there really is a reason why there is a term that
someone is “two faced” or that they have “put on a different face” even though
they are not literally two faced or put on a different face.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Therefore the next time someone is dealing with you look
at the right side of their face and you should be able to determine if they are
telling the truth or if they are lying to you.</div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Which is better to accomplish in your business? A profit?
A loss? Break even? Anyone with any sense will, of course, state that making a
profit if what being in business is about.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
I’m going to use an example of selling book sets to
families where you, the business owner, purchase the set of books for $200 per
set and then you sell the set of books for $400. On paper you make back your
$200 and make a $200 profit on each full sale of $400. However there are
various ways of calculating things.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Say you sell 10 sets of books per month. You must
purchase the 10 sets of books at a cost of $200 each for a monthly expense of
$2,000. If you sell all 10 sets of books for $400 each you will make $4,000
which is a profit of $2,000. If you sell all 10 sets of books for $250 each you
will make a profit of $500.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
In most cases a smart business owner would ask for a
minimum down payment from the customer that is what they paid for the books for
sale. In our example today the business owner purchases a set of books for $200
from the book publisher and then they ask for $200 deposit from the person
purchasing the books. This way the business owner will break even and not lose
money and since the person purchasing the books made an investment of $200,
which is 50 percent of the purchase price, they are likely to pay the business
owner until the account is paid off rather than default on payments and have
the books taken away.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
In the example above if I am a business owner and I
purchase 10 sets of books from the publisher at $200 each I spent $2,000 for
inventory. If I only get from customers $200 each as a down payment I have made
back my investment of $2,000 and I break even. Some would argue if that’s all I
end up getting from the customers then I lost $2,000 but I say no that is not
the case. Breaking even doesn’t mean you lost money. You broke even and didn’t
make a profit. There’s a huge difference.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
If you purchase the book sets for $2,000 and get full
payment of $400 for each set sold you made $4,000 which means you recovered
your $2,000 outlay for inventory and you made $2,000 profits.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
There are some in business who, when confronted with this
scenario, don’t want to accept that they broke even of made only 25 percent to
50 percent of what they expected to make after covering costs. You simply do
not LOSE money when you reach the break-even point and for sure you do not LOSE
money if you make even One Dollar over what you spent for inventory.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
The concept is so simple that’s what makes it hard for
some people to understand.</div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Today I’m likely to irk a hell of a lot of people
including family members who are Doctors and Nurses and who work in Oncology
which is the study and treatment of cancer.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
When I lived in Redlands, California, my last wife, who
passed away in July 2009, had cancer. She was scheduled to see Doctor Godfrey
at Loma Linda University Medical Center in Loma Linda, California.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
While walking my dog, Lucky, I came across my friend who
asked how my wife was doing and if she was going to see an Oncologist. I told
them yes and gave them Doctor Godfrey’s name. Then they told me this story.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
They said a friend of theirs had cancer and was referred
to Oncology at Loma Linda University Medical Center to see Doctor Godfrey. Their
friend related the story that when Doctor Godfrey came into the room he yelled
at him rudely and said (I am paraphrasing what he said here): “WHY ARE YOU HERE? YOUR CANCER IS TOO FAR
GONE FOR ME TO TREAT YOU! YOU ARE NOT GOING TO GET HELPED BY ANY TREATMENT! YOU
ARE WASTING MY TIME! GET OUT OF MY OFFICE!”</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
I asked my friend if this doctor was reported to the
Board of Directors at Loma Linda University Medical Center for his insensitive
and rude treatment of a patient. My friend told me there are dozens of complaints
about Doctor Godfrey but the other Board members refuse to take action against
Doctor Godfrey because he is a high ranking Board member, a high amount
financial donor to Loma Linda University Medical Center, so they look the other
way even though he abuses patients.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
I feel Doctor Godfrey should have been removed from Loma
Linda University Medical Center and should have had his Medical License revoked
by the State of California.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
My friend then related to me that their friend went to
Cancer Treatment Centers of America just outside of Los Angeles for treatment.
Although their friend is not “cured” of cancer they were able to get it into
remission which means it is not getting worse.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Don’t take abuse from doctors even if they are a
specialist as often they are there for the money and not for the benefit of the
patient.</div>
<br />
