The TIP of the ICEBERG Rule

June 2, 2007

Here it  is:  

            Most of an iceberg is underwater. Common knowledge. Maybe 10% shows  above water.

In human society I find that if  several people complain or raise an issue,  say 10, that another 100

would like to, but do not know where to write or call, or else are too timid to speak out, but they do

agree. So if 100 speak out, 100,000 agree.  If 100,000, then 1,000,000   etc.

                                               If the train air is too hot, and ten say so, then another 100 or so, agree.

NO HOPE WITH DEMOS TO END WAR, SO GO FOR OBAMA

May 31, 2007

Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid have wimped out on defunding the war , so it will go on,

thanks to them.  I’m quite disgusted with them.  They gave in to Bush.

Our next hope is to elect Obama, who has pledged to end the war  when he is elected.

Parents who let kids raise hell in restraurants

May 18, 2007

Modern American parents have a horrible attitude that their kid can do anything they want in public, such as in restaurants and theatres,  “just because they’re only a kid”.

They let them go BANG,BANG,BANG!  on a plate or table with as spoon, kick racks under the table, cry, scream and yell,  because “He’s only a kid”.

First, they should not even bring the kid to a restaurant, at all, and if they do, they are obligated to shut the kid up and make him behave.

Adults control  their kid, or should do so,so as to not annoy other diners in the establishment who after all, came to eat in peace and quiet.

I was raised part of the time in Euope, and there, kids obey parents and are not

allowed to annoy other people.

Methods – if the parents will not follow your request to stop the kid, then tell the waiter there will be  a higher tip of he can stop the kid. (If he does not, give no tip).

Tell the owner you will not return if the kid is not stopped.

Or, pull out muting earphones you may have with you in a bag. Works VERY well on  airliners where then parent refuses to “take the kid outside”.  (Also works well on blocking cell-phone users.)

Before I discovered the muffs used by jet engine mechanics, I once passed a note to a father asking him to silence his kid. As he disembarked, he raged at me, saying he had a right to inflict his child on the rest of us in steerage, and said “What am I supposed to do?”   I answered – TAKE THE BUS !  (or ocean liner, as the case may be.)

To all, be bold, be firm, be polite, and demand the parent stop his noisy child.

What they do is NOT ok.

FORT DIX SIX – ARREST NOT “ENTRAPMENT”–ANALOGY TO CHILD PORN ARRESTS.

May 12, 2007

Defense lawyers are claiming “entrapment” and violation of privacy  in the

arrests of three illegal aliens and  three citizens  of middle east originms.

Yet, if a photo store clerk reports seeing a customer is processing  child porn photos

(we do not approve of child porn, it is illegal,etc.)  and turns in the customer to police,

no one cries out “entrapment!”   The same principle applies here. Protect  our soldiers

in Fort Dix or anywhere.

WHERE EVERYONE HAS A GUN

May 6, 2007

Crime is mostly  nil….

You do not shoot up a class or a bar where you KNOW everyone can shoot you dead.

Would you ROB a man carrying a gun?

Hell no!

Lots of dumb people out there reading….

KATRINA – LET’S NOT REBUILD NEW ORLEANS-FORMER RESIDENT

May 1, 2007

Not politically correct, but let’s NOT rebuild New Orleans.

I used to live there, and I always thought “Why are all these people living below sea level ??”

If we rebuild it, it will just happen  all over again. Levees will break, and the water will pour in all over again.

Let’s just rebuild only  those sections that are above sea level.

And this is not a white-black thing. Just common sense.

RANTING MARK LEVIN AND HARRY REID

April 21, 2007

Mark, if you ever read this, (he is a radio host, KSFO, SF area) you are a ranting loudmouth and Harry Reid (Senate Majority Leader) is right –

we have lost in Iraq, and a better way to say it is

“Nobody can win”.

so let’s get out. 4yrs is enough.

Mark, I’ll debate  you anytime, if there is a moderator. I will win.

BRIAN SUSSMAN – CHALLENGE TO DEBATE IRAQ – WITH MODERATOR

April 20, 2007

Brian Sussman contols his KSFO radio talk show, and any time someone  gets ahead of him, or beats his logic, which is bad logic,  he cuts them off. So he “wins”.

I challenge Sussman to debate anywhere, anytime, provide a moderator is there. No delete buttons.

Topic – we lost in Iraq, let’s get out.

Same goes for Rush Limbaugh, and Sean Hannity and Bill O’Neil. With O’Neil it will take three moderators to control him.

Call 925-385-0422 to arrange.

Cho was “Martyr for the Meek” – Pro-Islam, Korean, inarticulate

April 19, 2007

Cho in Blacksburg, has “Ismail”  or AX Ismail,  on his arm, which is A X Ishmael,

son of Abraham, founder of 12 tribes in Arabia, and pre-phrophet of Islam, respected by

Islam.

“A” can be Anti-Christ or Anti-Christian, and the X can be from the Greek, Christos,

so Anti-Christos or anti-Christians.

In Cho’s mind the rich kids who could afford to go to the university, were white,

rich, had gold chains, drank fine brandy, had hot cars, and were Christians, not Muslims,

and not asian. (Even though whites founded this country…).

In his warped mind, he became a MARTYR FOR THE MEEK,  striking back at self-perceived  discrimination.

Of course, he never talked to fellow Koreans, nor Muslims.  Insanity led to massacre.

In all colleges, withdrawn weirdos should be required to take tests and counselling.

This smacks of Big Brother, but we need to weed out potential Chos.
