TRAITORS IN OUR MIDST!

By Richard Day on Fri, 01/31/2014 - 1:13am |

You ever feel like holding a stranger in your arms and telling them that everything is going to be Okay?

(Me)

I am not now, nor have I ever been a member of an organization that advocates the violent over-throw of the United States Government.(I am not so sure about the future!)

It is 1947.

THE WATER WE DRINK!

I am attempting (once again or fifty times again) to perceive some sort of order out of what can only be denominated as chaos.

IT'S YOUR DECISION

THE CRIMINAL INJUSTICE SYSTEM

By Richard Day on Thu, 01/09/2014 - 2:44pm |

BernardMadoff.jpg From 2005 to 2008, there are on average 14,172,384 arrests made per year in the United States. This is based on data from the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation’™s Uniform Crime Reporting program. Of all reported arrests, drug abuse violations remains the greatest, with on average 1,819,970 arrests made per-year/

I checked with MADD and a little over one million of those arrests involved DUI's. So if I got this right, only three million of the 14 million arrests last year relate to drugs or alcohol?

As I write this, I mean it took a couple of days, but during the last hour of January 6th (the Epiphany) it was 22 below zero (F).

The ice has been permanently (at least it seems so) on my living room window for four weeks!

We are now 16 or 17 days from the Solstice for chrissakes.

2013 LISTS; HERE'S TO 2014!

By Richard Day on Thu, 12/26/2013 - 11:52pm |

I think the biggest stories of 2013 relate to energy.

Over the last four or five or six years, some things have changed dramatically.

Forget politics for a sec; capitalists decided that wind energy and sun energy became profitable enterprises, and this Administration has provided the tax credits and income tax provisions that add to this new substantial contribution to the national energy grid.
