geo-philosophical Logic and Tavern Reason

You know your an overachiever
if you put yourself
out of work.

A failure to plan
is a plan for failure.

After a tough day I'll sit at the bar,
have a beer, and re-evaluate
my upcoming strategy...

After a good day I'll have two beers;
One to enjoy success,
the next to re-evaluate my upcoming strategy.

For those who choose the balcony
to judge what they think they see
shall never know the glory
of the main stage quite like me.

I n a time when Americans are looking for change;
will they get 3 Quarters, 2 dimes and a nickel?

The fruits of a suspicious mind are rooted
in a guilty conscience.

Sound investment Principles -Acceptable risk/reward
ratio with capital appreciation and interest.

The Principles of a sound investment...
KNOWLEDGE

College is preferable
provided it does not impede
your education

You know what they say
about Lost Causes...
There the only ones
worth fighting for!

The Optimist and the Pessimist;

Things are so bad, I'm sure
they can"t get any worse.

Don't be ridiculous,
of course they can...

Shop Steward or CEO of the USA

Americans find themselves in quite
a precarious position as they notice
their calendar reminding them
it’s September.

The recent tumultuous times gives all those
concerned just cause for what lies ahead.

The question begs to be asked,
will the next leader be progressive,
or simply a maverick deemed out of control?

A balance must be struck between the businessman
and the average citizen
providing both a square deal.

We recently realized the ramifications to
trust big business with
controlling the economy.

Capitalism is king to the point of corruption.

It remains to be seen whether our nation
will stabilize the rights of the worker
regarding fair wages and
safety in the workplace or

profits continue to dictate the bottom line.

It remains to be seen if citizens will be provided
Universal Health Care and National Health Insurance.

It remains to be seen whether our nation can efficiently utilize the resources we possess for prosperity through the ages.

To wish to glimpse a century forward
to find what shall come to pass…

The precarious situation does not speak to the citizens
of the US of A’s choice between voting the
Republican or Democratic ticket.

Clearly, the calendar reads September
as it has many times before.

When it comes to tumult,
show me another nation that responds more fervently.

Change is the only constant;
it is to be anticipated, and insufferably arduous.

Americans are extremely resourceful and savvy
when a business deal is to be struck.

With respect to big business trust issues,
one should “speak softly, but carry a big stick.”

For you see, in this particular period of time,
the magnitude of the problems of the day
seemed overwhelming.

The questions and uncertainty facing the nation
were quite similar although a century apart.

So goes the story
of President McKinley’s
Vice President Teddy Roosevelt.

It was a time when Roughriders and the nation
looked to the calendar to find
September, the year 1901.

The youngest President at age 42 years
had assumed the office
under less than venerable circumstances.

Therefore, although we do not possess
the where with all to look ahead
to the upcoming century,
we should heed the lessons of our forefathers.

Wisdom should serve to remind us quite simply this:

The more things change, the more they remain the same.

If you find yourself wondering whether we need a
Shop steward or a CEO of the USA,
keep in mind there’s room on
Mount Rushmore for whoever
figures out how to be both.

The only caveat being he or she
not have a big head. gjf

No Scars upon Thars

For those of you praying for a miracle, or looking for change in this November’s election, I have some good news, relief is on the way.

That is of course assuming party politics gets off personality assassination and actually begins discussing the nation’s solution toward solvency.

The McFrannie Mae Doctrine recently worked out should set a floor under the nations banking system thereby insuring structural support for housing and the commercial real estate NPA situation.

Without question GSE’s are too large to fail, the individual homeowner whom decided to walk away from their greatest asset learned a valuable lesson.

Surely with the move made by Treasury the stock market will once again be King, with financials leading the way.

Times will be good, the consumer driven economy will be flourishing, and capital gains will be no more than a bad Dream. Drill, Drill, Drill…

For those of you praying for a miracle or looking for change this November, the worst is behind us.

We will miss the middle class, but consolidation is a good thing and certainly, in this case, was an unnecessary “evil”.

As Charles Dickens would say, “For in the superlative degree for comparison only” it is best for them to eat the grass.

Therefore, if you find yourself distracted by the surface noise

or from a temporary lapse from your conscience,

settle in with “A Tale of Two Cities” as a reminder

of the daze of Glass Ceilings, for shall we never forget,

there are No Scars upon Thars.

To the citizens of the United States of America from Her Sovereign Majesty Queen Elizabeth II

In light of your failure in recent years to nominate competent candidatesfor President of the USA and thus to govern yourselves, we hereby givenotice of the revocation of your independence, effective immediately.

Her Sovereign Majesty Queen Elizabeth II will resume monarchical duties overall states, commonwealths, and territories (except Kansas, which she doesnot fancy).

Your new Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, will appoint a Governor for Americawithout the need for further elections.
Congress and the Senate will be disbanded.

A questionnaire may be circulated next year to determine whether any of younoticed.
To aid in the transition to a British Crown dependency, the following rulesare introduced with immediate effect:

(You should look up 'revocation' in the Oxford English Dictionary.)

1. Then look up aluminium, and check the pronunciation guide. You will beamazed at just how wrongly you have been pronouncing it.

2. The letter 'U' will be reinstated in words such as 'colour', 'favour','labour' and 'neighbour.' Likewise, you will learn to spell 'doughnut'without skipping half the letters, and the suffix '-ize' will be replaced bythe suffix '-ise'. Generally, you will be expected to raise your vocabularyto acceptable levels. (look up 'vocabulary').

3. Using the same twenty-seven words interspersed with filler noises such as'like' and 'you know' is an unacceptable and inefficient form ofcommunication. There is no such thing as US English. We will let M*crosoftknow on your behalf. The M*crosoft spell-checker will be adjusted to takeinto account the reinstated letter 'u' and the elimination of -ize.

4. July 4th will no longer be celebrated as a holiday.

5. You will learn to resolve personal issues without using guns, lawyers,or therapists. The fact that you need so many lawyers and therapists showsthat you're not quite ready to be independent. Guns should only be used forshooting grouse. If you can't sort things out without suing someone orspeaking to a therapist then you're not ready to shoot grouse.

6. Therefore, you will no longer be allowed to own or carry anything moredangerous than a vegetable peeler. Although a permit will be required if youwish to carry a vegetable peeler in public.

7. All intersections will be replaced with roundabouts, and you will startdriving on the left side with immediate effect. At the same time, you willgo metric with immediate effect and without the benefit of conversiontables.
Both roundabouts and metrication will help you understand the British senseof humour.

8. The former USA will adopt UK prices on petrol (which you have beencalling gasoline) of roughly $10/US gallon. Get used to it.

9. You will learn to make real chips. Those things you call French friesare not real chips, and those things you insist on calling potato chips areproperly called crisps. Real chips are thick cut, fried in animal fat, anddressed not with catsup but with vinegar.

10. The cold tasteless stuff you insist on calling beer is not actuallybeer at all. Henceforth, only proper British Bitter will be referred to asbeer, and European brews of known and accepted provenance will be referredto as Lager. South African beer is also acceptable as they are pound forpound the greatest sporting nation on earth and it can only be due to thebeer. They are also part of British Commonwealth - see what it did forthem. American brands will be referred to as Near-Frozen Gnat's Urine, sothat all can be sold without risk of further confusion.

11. Hollywood will be required occasionally to cast English actors as goodguys. Hollywood will also be required to cast English actors to playEnglish characters. Watching Andie MacDowell attempt English dialogue inFour Weddings and a Funeral was an experience akin to having one's earsremoved with a cheese grater.

12. You will cease playing American football. There is only one kind ofproper football; you call it soccer. Those of you brave enough will, intime, be allowed to play rugby (which has some similarities to Americanfootball, but does not involve stopping for a rest every twenty seconds orwearing full kevlar body armour like a bunch of nancies). Don't try rugby -the South Africans and Kiwis will thrash you, like they regularly thrash us.

13. Further, you will stop playing baseball. It is not reasonable to hostan event called the World Series for a game which is not played outside ofAmerica . Since only 2.1% of you are aware there is a world beyond yourborders, your error is understandable. You will learn cricket, and we willlet you face the South Africans first to take the sting out of theirdeliveries.

14. You must tell us who killed JFK. It's been driving us mad.

15. An internal revenue agent (i.e. tax collector) from Her Majesty'sGovernment will be with you shortly to ensure the acquisition of all moniesdue (backdated to 1776).

16. Daily Tea Time begins promptly at 4 pm with proper cups, with saucers,and never mugs, with high quality biscuits (cookies) and cakes; plusstrawberries (with cream) when in season.

God, fate, time, karma

What we choose to believe,
the truths we accept as reality,
is a matter of perception.

Given that point of reason,
one concludes

perception leads to perspective.

Our sense of what is right dictates
an individuals point of view.

The people of the United States of America are faced with a most daunting task this November.

The dynamics of the signpost just ahead
are both and neither
the Twilight Zone and Yellow Brick Road.

Such truths are entirely dependent upon the road we are lead down.

Politicians are aware of the fact 75% of communication is of the non-verbal variety.

The nation would serve itself better to focus upon the message regarding the topic being discussed.

If we hear the voice to heed fear, take the lead from Dorothy and clock the cowardly lion in the snout.

When the trumpets begin sounding for immediate change, know change occurs excruciatingly slow.

I give you the combatant’s point of fact as example:

Women’s suffrage took 88 years to reach the main stage, The King dream took 45 years.

Change, when it does occur, is excruciating and slow.

“Whatever you do, don’t pay attention to that man behind the curtain.”

When faced with data that is inexplicitly derisive,
that is precisely the decisive moment of truth.

Internal conflict is the greatest paradox
unknown to humanity.

The initial stage is one of confusion,
which leads us to considerably more intensive thought but eventually presents itself as an evolved and content state of mind.

Go figure,
Dorothy had the answer right under her feet the entire time.

As it turns out the man behind the curtain was relevant
for he knew the power
each and every individual possesses.

The point of the great wizard is simply this;
those in power tend to be reluctant
to relinquish such power.

This could only lead us to Willoughby, next stop Willoughby…

We are looking for simpler times. That is entirely up to us.

Willoughby
is the story of a man
searching for simpler times
through entering the Twilight Zone
finding himself in 1880’s Indiana.

I think we’d be better off getting back to basics.

I think the ancient Greeks, the Age of Pericles got it right.

More recently, in revolutionary times,
folks had discussion at the local tavern
to debate the topics of the day.

Exchange of ideas led to the creation of a nation.

What we choose to believe,
accept as reality,
depends on the road we allow ourselves
to be taken down.

God, Fate, Time, Karma…
it is all those things;
it is none of those things. gjf
