assault

Yesterday I wrote a blog about those who claim they are persecuted while they do the persecuting. They want to be able to get away with what they do by making people feel guilty for noticing.

You have to wonder where this comes from.

Perhaps they learn this tactic at an early age from observation, or they are allowed to practice this in high school, for example, until they are good at it.

Eric Martin, a student at Highland Springs High School in Henrico, Virginia, is facing two charges of assault while suffering from a head injury and a broken hand after having been involved in a brawl that pitted him against at least four other students that began when he hit one of the students who has been bullying him and calling him Gay slurs for a long time.

Eric is considered the aggressor because he threw the first punch, but the bullying is being ignored as is the fact that even if it is justifiable to bring charges against him from hitting the student first, the friends of that student who then punched and beat on Eric have not been charged with anything.

They apparently are allowed to throw their first punches without consequence.

Eric’s family is fighting back, having gone to the court to file their own charges.

As family advocate Tammy Motola explained, “It’s always the perpetrators that get away with the crime. When the victims have finally had enough, after being verbally attacked and bullied for years and they snap…they are the ones that are penalized.”

In addition to the two assault charges, Eric is not allowed to return to school until he signs a student threat documentation form, admitting that he also threatened the school even though an administrator at the school admitted that this allegation was based only on hearsay.

Make sure you talk to your doctor for check up. super cheap cialis Obviously they are holding the kid hostage and want him to admit to an alleged crime by signing a form admitting the allegation to be true so that it can be presented in court, and used against him.

Apparently, while the victim, who had finally had enough, is being punished, those who bullied him and those who beat him so that he spent nine days in the hospital are being treated as victims.

I worked in schools where the kid who threw the first punch in any fight was punished, but the others who entered the fight were disciplined as well.

This is not the case in this situation.

To ease tensions, the school administrators have softened their demand that Eric sign the admission of guilt form for the alleged threat to the school before returning to school.

He can attend any other high school in the city, just not the school he attends now.

So add inconvenience to the list of what this kid has to deal with besides the physical and emotion suffering caused by the bullying and the beating that was justified, apparently, by one punch.

This is a classic method of dealing with bullies. While the bully is allowed to stay where he is, future bullying is not prevented any other way than by inconveniencing the victim.

Eventually the bully will just find another victim on the home turf.

The message being sent is clear.

Persecution?

same

Unless you are one of those people who thinks Catholics aren’t Christian, you know that all the denominations of Christianity in the United States makes that belief system the largest in the country.

Every president has been Christian, as have the vast majority of politicians both federal and state, and the members of the Supreme Court.

When you mention religious broadcasting and flip through all the cable channels, the majority of them are Christian too.

So it seems a little phony when people who have basically had their way since before this country was founded claim they are being persecuted by those who are not Christian.

It’s merely that whenever anyone fights back, or gives back what the “christians” (note the small ‘c’) give out, the people who have appointed themselves as the spokespeople of Christianity claim they are being persecuted. If what they get is persecution, isn’t what they do unto others persecution as well?

Now a little unearned self-pity is one thing, but to take on the role of the oppressed and persecuted by making false comparisons is another.

Take the example of recently elected Texas state senator Charles Perry who claims that Christians in the United States are treated the same as Jews in Nazi Germany.

Referring to concentration camps, Senator Perry said in remarks after his swearing in,
“There were 10,000 people that were paraded into a medical office under the guise of a physical. As they stood with their back against the wall, they were executed with a bullet through the throat. Before they left, 10,000 people met their fate that way.

Is it not the same than when our government continues to perpetuate laws that lead citizens away from God? The only difference is that the fraud of the Germans was more immediate and whereas the fraud of today’s government will not be exposed until the final days and will have eternal-lasting effects.”

The basic answer from any thinking person is, “Duh, no.”

You go girl!

Then there are those tapes.

No, not the ones where Mitt Romney got caught denigrating 47% of Americans as lazy, and not the ones where Mitch McConnell was heard to say that if Republicans take over the Senate they will hold the budget hostage unless they get everything they want even if it leads to another government shut-down.

These are the tapes of conversations between Federal Reserve officials that show how cozy the Federal Reserve is with Wall Street.

Remember Carmen Segara?

For those who don’t, she was the bank examiner for the Federal Reserve in 2012, who, after only seven months on the job, lost it because she had made a negative report on Goldman Sachs.

However, what no one knew at the time was that she had made secret recordings of meetings after noticing the lack of regulation of banks of which the New York Fed was guilty, and one of the things she managed to record was the Feds discussing an action of Goldman Sachs that may not have been illegal, but was certainly not correct and for which GS should have been disciplined.

The release of the contents of the meetings now wasn’t a one shot deal way after the fact as Segara says there were a number of times that she had told her bosses about questionable practices at Goldman Sachs.

One statement by an officer of GS, “once clients became wealthy enough, certain consumer laws didn’t apply to them”, really bothered her, but her boss told her to amend the minutes of the meeting in which this was said so there would be no trace of it.

It was also what validated me in my retirement when the same helped establish that my last principal was, indeed, manipulating student grades and attendance so as to have it appear his methods were working, and not that the teachers he was forcing out of the school were ineffective.

It helps remove the “he said/she said” business.

Hell hath no fury and all that.

Regarding the released tapes, according to Senator Elizabeth Warren, “You really do, for a moment, get to be the fly on the wall that watches all of it, and there it is to be exposed to everyone: the cozy relationship, the fact that the Fed is more concerned about its relationship with a too-big-to-fail bank than it is with protecting the American public”.

Warren believes, and rightly so, that regulators work for the American people not the banks.

As she said on NPR, “A regulator doesn’t say to a big financial institution: ‘Hey! Step right up here. Get your toes on the line, and so long as you can make a legal argument that you have not crossed the line then, hey, we’re — we’re all cool here. That’s not the way regulation of large financial institutions is supposed to work — they’re supposed to be using judgment. And remember, part of this judgment is about whether or not there has been compliance with the law. The fact that Goldman could mount a legal defense here is not really the point of these tapes. The point of these tapes is that the regulators are backing off long before anyone’s in court making a legal argument about whether or not they came right up to the line or they crossed over the line.”

What does Warren want?

“Congress must hold oversight hearings on the disturbing issues raised by today’s whistleblower report when it returns in November, because it’s our job to make sure our financial regulators are doing their jobs. When regulators care more about protecting big banks from accountability than they do about protecting the American people from risky and illegal behavior on Wall Street, it threatens our whole economy. We learned this the hard way in 2008.”

Vote for me, boogah, boogah!

Let the patriotic competition begin.

flag

With our now finally getting around to bombing Syria, something that some high ranking politicians have been demanding, and with calls for boots on the ground, it is time once again to stock up on our American flags, Stars and Bars decals that proclaim we love the good Ol’ U.S of A, and to arrange for all those photo ops and videos on the news of soldiers returning from deployment and surprising their kids at a ball game or Christmas party so we all feel so much better about sending our kids to fight for others who just put down their weapons and high-tail it at the first sign of a battle, and can get distracted so we can ignore the ones who come home in boxes.

The patriot competitions are about to begin, and the “I support the troops” trope will be as common as a Christmas or season’s greeting in a few weeks.

Flags are going to pop up everywhere, and will be allowed to rot in the rain and winds because they will have served their purpose of making the person hanging them feel good without feeling obligated to show true respect for the flag by taking care of them.

New crispy flags are good for pictures, but in time they are just rags on the fences of overpasses, and the attention the flag hanger got become old news.

And, few will even check to see that the majority of those discount flags they put on fence posts and on car antennae, or the ones they have on the little holders that attach to their rear car door windows are made in China by the workers who got their job from unemployed Americans because it is cheaper to pay them slave wages.

Trolls who live to leave comments after web site news articles will begin to decide who is truly American and patriotic based on nothing more than their believing that somehow calling people “socialists” and “liberals” will have a lasting effect, and is somehow a legitimate judgment.

Conservative news media will fan the flames of division so that they will appear to be the deciders of patriotism, and will be believed by their fans who are shrinking in numbers and basically repeat what they are told because critical thinking is the sign of hating America.

And as we head to elections we will have a whole new arena with politicians labeling people, demanding military actions that they will then criticize when they begin.

The season of warm and fuzzy patriotism competitiveness  is about to begin.

Reality will have no place.

Boots?

boots

Yagotta love these guys like Boehner and the comedy team of Graham and McCain.

First they demand that the president arm the rebels in Syria, although we had no idea who they really were, and only found out later many were from what is now called ISIS, so we would have armed the very people we are dealing with now.

Then they demand he bomb Syria.

When ISIS began its move and released its slick videos of two beheadings, obviously to scare people and attempt to appear bigger and more powerful than they are, People demanded Obama do something.

He was criticized for taking too much time to assess the situation in a day and age when we just like to rush into wars and sort the reasons out later.

When things came to a head, Congress went on its break, basically leaving the president to figure things out on his own.

So he goes and gets a coalition together that includes Arabs who claimed they would never fight each other, starts dropping the demanded bombs, takes out a few ISIS strongholds, and pretty much does what they have been demanding, and now he is condemned for doing exactly what they had been demanding he do.

They told him to do something, but are now upset that he did not ask permission to do what they told him to do.

But this is what they have been doing since he got elected anyway.

They demand he do what they want, demand that he propose laws and bills that they want,  makes the adjustments that they demand, and then they oppose him.
ED, as it is also referred to, buy viagra is among the most common problems that men face as they grow older. Impotency is a condition where the http://cute-n-tiny.com/tag/moose/ tab sildenafil erection subsides after a few minutes. Chemical based supplements are meant for purchase cheap viagra short term cure and they cannot take care of the problem from the root. The drugs are safe and of high quality in order to get the most out of it buy viagra overnight by enhancing every aspect of your life.
Now they are demanding boots on the ground. They cannot skip a boots on the ground war when they have a chance for one.

But, even as they demand he put boots on the ground, it is clear that the only reason they want him to do that is so that they can condemn him for doing that.

According to John Boehner, “If the goal is to destroy ISIS, as the president says it is, I don’t believe the strategy that he outlined will accomplish that. At the end of the day, I think it’s going to take more than air strikes to drive them out of there. At some point somebody’s boots have to be on the ground.”

Regarding the president’s not wanting those boots to be American boots, Boehner stated, “If I were the president, I probably wouldn’t have talked about what I wouldn’t do — and maybe we can get enough of those forces trained to get them on the battlefield, but somebody’s boots have to be there. These are barbarians. They intend to kill us, and if we don’t destroy them first, we’re going to pay the price.”

If the president wanted authorization to put boots on the ground, the Speaker said he would call congress back to D.C. to vote on that.

However, “The president has not done that. He believes he has authority under existing resolutions to do what he’s done.”

AND, what the people like Boehner have been demanding he do.

Boehner believes the president has the authority to do what he is doing, but he believes Congress should be included, if only to be included.
“I think he does have the authority to do it, but the point I’m making is this is a proposal that the Congress ought to consider”.

And in the meantime, the military-industrial complex stands to make a fortune in selling its product, and you just know there are members in congress who have to guarantee that happens as they have favors to repay.

Perhaps they only need to have a theatrical vote to do that.

I like the bottle bill

bot

I remember as a kid when we walked home from school, the movies, or any other location in the center of town, we kids would keep our eyes open for any tonic bottles (Yes, tonic. It was Massachusetts, after all) that might have been dropped by a pedestrian or thrown out of a car window so we could get the two cents from returning it, and, depending which direction we were going, getting four mint julep candies at the Little White Store heading one way, or Jack and Paul’s heading the other. Mint Juleps were two for a cent at the time, and penny candy was a reality back then.

We never were unable to get candy, and there were usually enough bottles for everyone walking to get the treat.

Eventually things changed as cans began to replace bottles because of the convenience of the dangerous pull tabs that could cut bare feet, especially at the beach at Bolivar pond, or give a good paper cut if you happened to put your hand down on one. But the dangerous cans  eventually gave way to pull tabs that stayed attached to the can.

Where the tonic remained in bottles, they became plastic ones that were not redeemable.

Because there was no longer a reason to pick up discarded tonic bottles, they remained where they landed along the roadside, and litter began to grow. Without the prize of the two cents, the bottles were just not worth picking up.

Now we have redeemable deposits on tonic bottles again, and even though I am too lazy to bring them to the grocery store and having them turned into money, I do drop them into the bin at the Transfer Station (nee dump) where they are redeemed and the money given by the town to the less fortunate.

In a bit of irony, as people began to seek healthier diets and chose to drink less sugary drinks, the amount of litter began to increase again in spite of the redeemable bottle deposit because people began to drink bottled water, and those bottles were not redeemable.

Ideally, the same people who are concerned about their health and the environment should use re-usable bottles to put their water in, but idealism lost out to the convenience of buying the water, and then just throwing the bottle away.

In this case a preferably higher dosage is viagra in italy to be determined, but no more than 5%.

While cities may have trash cans along the sidewalks, suburban and rural areas do not have convenient trash cans, so plastic bottles with outdoorsy names on their labels are marring the very scenes pictured on them.

This November, the citizens of Massachusetts will be voting on ballot question 2.

The ballot summary reads:
“ This proposed law would expand the state’s beverage container deposit law, also known as the Bottle Bill, to require deposits on containers for all non-alcoholic non-carbonated drinks in liquid form intended for human consumption, except beverages primarily derived from dairy products, infant formula, and FDA approved medicines. The proposed law would not cover containers made of paper-based biodegradable material and aseptic multi-material packages such as juice boxes or pouches.

The major objections I have heard from conservative radio and the anti-Question 2 ads in the media is that the money from unredeemed beverage bottles will be going to politicians, although I think they are presenting a bogey man argument as the money goes to the state coffers.

They also conveniently forget that those empty bottles found on the side of the road will be picked up by people, the kids, the homeless, or the environmentally concerned, for their redemption value, and in forgetting this, the opposition is either too young to remember the way it was, or are duplicitous in purposely ignoring their own history if they are old enough to have redeemed other people’s bottles for snack money.

Finding a way to get all those crumpled empty water bottles out of the environment sounds good to me.

Perhaps, to keep from having to pay the deposit, water drinkers will buy reusable containers.

Fewer bottles; less litter.

It’s got my support.
