More about Me.......

Well I am not sufficiently mad enough right now to post much that is scathing or insightful....Ive lately had this sort of balanced feeling, Ive accepted what I cant change and nothing is going to bother me.......until I see those ads for the brookings institute paired up with the ads on some bond issues.......Ahhhhhhhhhhggggggggghhhhhhhhhhh!
Now That we have establish for those who don't know me that I live in Maine I am going to turn inward and focus on some of the boneheaded things that go on in this state,politically. Its a good litmus for the rest of the country of what not to do.....
Back to the ads.....
There is a report by the brookings institute that states that Maine is at a point where we could make an turn for the prosperous, IF we lower income and property taxes, which is pretty much a no-brainer like that ad,wish more people in power took it in......now juxtaposed with ads favoring a bond issue coming up to help manufacturing and the training that goes along with a new industry that will be enticed to this state.....I don't know the particulars as I only saw the ad last night but all I can imagine is that we are going to give more money to the university system.....and then we will have to raise property taxes or some other kind of "fee" (otherwise known as tax, but if we rename it the great unwashed masses will never figure it out)
A few years back they tried to introduce a "fee" by making us register our canoes and kayaks!
luckily it was defeated but do we sense our mentality here.......
Maine is a wonderful place to live, it has beautiful scenery,for now lower crime, and a long and rich history......but the working poor of this state are being ground down by taxes and fees and the high cost of living.....and you either muddle through, move away or succumb to the Great Equalizers and end up on the dole.....these policies have turned some of the people of this great state into trailer park welfare cases,where there used to be workers. Maybe they didn't have much but they did have their pride...........

Cant have your cake.........

..........And eat it too. Ever notice how we always hear the environmentalists rip their clothes and gnash their teeth about fossil fuels and our copious consumption of such carbon based fuels and how it damages the environment. Alternative fuels! that's the answer wind and water and solar power that's the answer!

So lets build a wind generator off the coast of Mass........No wait, cant do that at least not off Hayannisport, might block the view of the Kennedy's place. Not to mention we don't want James Taylor's view obstructed or ruined by the Eco-friendly wind generators....

Ever notice that the biggest screamers are also giving us the "do as I say don't do as I do " treatment?

Al Gores house is an environmental nightmare. not to mention John Edwards crib as well. Al Likes private jets, John, oft spokesman for the poor and downtrodden has alienated all his surrounding neighbors, most of whom are poor and or on a fixed income.

Critical celebs are apt to have several large houses and ride their jets....They aren't flying Economy...Nor are they shopping at Wal-mart.

Here in Maine, where I live there is a movement to "restore" the rivers, meaning lets blow up some dams,Dams that have been in place for a hundred years or so, and some that have been or are capable of generating power, also in Western Maine there was a plan to build a wind powered generator, but came under heavy fire for being an eyesore and the environmental damage it was going to cause......What?. Also there is a movement that comes and goes up here to create a Northern Forest National Park, so it will remain a pristine wilderness that only the rich can live in......I will go into detail on that some other time. Its amazing to me how many of our so Called leaders and socially responsible celebs want to have their cake, and eat it too.
