Republicans Are Ignoring Other Americans
If Republican leaders cared about the American public, we wouldn't need polls
to tell us who was planning to vote for Republican policies.
If these legislators know how to create jobs, they should create them; then take the
credit for doing so. They constantly take credit for accomplishments which are not
their own, like gathering the intelligence they actually neglected to gather for eight
years in order to capture Bin Laden. Surely they would be able to tout the credits they
did earn for being the famous job creators they claim to be and know.
If we had the full employment Republicans seem to say they can direct, the deficit
would begin to go down very quickly.
Apparently, the full employment Republicans seek is that of most Americans working
at or near minimum wage levels, and only when they are in charge of everything-
even wombs.

Afghanistan War Is Over! Or Nearly So--
I don't know why anyone would think Afghanistan is ever going to go back to being a harmless
wilderness.
Why Americans believe we can leave Afghanistan completely because the conflict there is a terrible
war and an uncomfortable place is beyond me. It became a 'staging ground' for those who hated
the west after its war with Russia left it in more ruin than it had before that long war. Do we recall?
The next group allowed to fester there until attacks against the U.S. are completed may not be able
to be defeated in such a way that we don't become Afghanistan before all is said and done.
President Obama gets a briefing every day on what America has to do to be safe from violence on
our shores which might originate in Afghanistan.
What part of being safe from Far East threat do Americans not understand?
Our President has no reason in the world to want troops in Afghanistan. A lot has to be done 24/7 to
keep America safe in this post Al Queda world.
Those are the facts. We'd better begin to understand how to absorb them.
We don't start these wars; but we have to end them in the best way possible to ensure they are not left
as embers about to start smoldering into another hot zone.
We have to be glad boots on the ground are now going to begin to fade away in this war, and the
previously frequent, repeated, deployments won't be necessary going forward.
Instead of the far right claiming this is not enough of a victory, today it's the far left's claim.
I know POTUS must wonder if we ever 'understand the words coming out of his mouth'.
This is in fact a great victory for those Americans who think practically and responsibly about the fact that President Obama did not invent war. Neither did he invent Al Queda or its offshoots. And still,
he has to keep us safe even after we actually become safe. Gosh!

We Already Had A Health Care Mandate
Once again, auto no fault did not, does not exist, save to stem the tide of money flowing into
emergency rooms as a result of car accidents.
Before health care associated with traffic skyrocketed, U.S. citizens were not required to buy car
insurance. Car insurance is not for cars. No fault car insurance is for the medical care of persons.
No fault insurance is a health care mandate.

The U.S. GNP And American Women
Last year's GNP was a bit over 14 trillion dollars. The aggregate work product of American workers was more than $14 trillion!
The American woman, on average, earns $.77 for every dollar a man earns.
In order for American women, then, to earn, on average, $1.00 for every dollar a man earns, by
May 1st of 2013, our business community would have to dump a bit over 3trillion dollars into their aggregate payrolls within the next twelve months.
They won't do it.
Yes, they would much rather go to war, no matter what other word we might want to use for the possible conflict which could ensue.
In America, when someone dies because money was the lacking resource to keep that person alive,
most don't call that war.
However, when workers earn the money and benefits which would prolong the lives of loved ones, and
make the lives of loved ones more fulfilled, more self-activated; yet the money earned is not the money
paid...yes, that is something countries go to war in order to rectify. American women are not a separate
country, though there are enough of us to get the respect America gives any group.
The barbarians at the Roman gates of civilization were there originally because they needed back some of the grain the Romans won from them in battles, in order to feed their families. Sacking wasn't the
original intention. Maybe a lesson to be learned is ...
Women, a civilized group in our country, need to feed their families, as urgently as do men.

Trayvon Shines His Light In The Dark Places
A New York Times writer shrugged off Trayvon's killing in an interview saying, 'So many people are
killed in this country every day.'
I thought I had a jaundiced view.
Are under aged children killed by men openly stalking them, who drop by the police station after the
kill, presumably to be patched up and sent home without a pending arrest, booking, or investigation?
If so, why are we attempting to raise children in this country as though it were a peaceful nation?
I personally owe Trayvon a debt of great measure. I hate being blind-sided. But that is exactly what
happened to Sabrina Fulton's boy right before he was killed. Anyone human would easily back off a
child screaming like that, especially anyone armed and human. That killer remains a dangerous,
menacing, threatening creature. He will never be anything different. Sadly, it took Trayvon to show us that. Trayvon has had to warn us to continue studied vigilance. Policing may be something not done so much for us, but to us.
Of course, I say all this as a matter of what I see in humanity as a whole. I see Trayvon's murder as an inhuman act perpetrated by a creature in human form, something quite apart from any act a real person could conceive when seeing a young person strolling down the street, distracted by an apparently excited phone call.
Only since hearing the Sanford, FL Police Department considered a proper response to the
killing of a child was to test only the child's body, have I seen what can still happen in America, even
worse than the killing of Medgar Evers- because the coward who killed Medgar Evers at least
attempted to evade the police.
Now when I drink a Coke or Pepsi, for instance, I think about how I would have had no more than
a sketchy view of ALEC and the insidious partnership it forged with the NRA in order to get 'stand ground' laws enacted in every state possible.
Since this is an election year, I am especially relieved to know what things are possibly at stake when
I wonder why some of the companies whose products I purchase are involved with organizations like
ALEC in the first place.
I realize now more and more how many politicians can be lethal in our governmental policy-forming
citizen advocacy functions.
Thinking of the political non-reactions to your dad's pleas for an attempt at justice, I am paying more
attention to representative philosophies like that of the atheist Ayn Rand, in the public admirings
of officials like Paul Ryan in the U.S. House of Representatives. He could be a U.S. Vice President?
Then we will be suffering a reactionary government.
We could have a Hispanic vice president who has no particular inclination to advocate for other Hispanics, or even admit that his heritage is akin to theirs.
We could be looking at a very reactionary government.
The governor of the state where you were killed signed, under protest of citizens and law enforcement eschewing vigilantism, the very law the predator who killed you is using to get away with his assault. A great many people want him as a U.S. President or Vice President.
We'd have an increasingly hostile-to-citizens-rights government.
Many of the other candidates for office are famous for wanting to legislate the rights of citizens back to 1950 or earlier, while removing modern legislation from the most destructive practices of corporations.
Had it not been for your sacrifice, Trayvon, and that of your beleaguered family, I would have noticed
a lot fewer egregious attack dog practices on U.S. citizen tendencies to erroneously equate U.S. laws
with justice, in American society.
Your light, Trayvon Martin: let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.
