NY TIMES
Commission Raises N.Y. Judges’ Pay 27% Over 3 Years
By WILLIAM GLABERSON
Published: August 26, 2011
_______________________________________
My Take
Wrong Move at the Wrong Time
The NY judges pay-raise is a mockery of America, and a kick from capitalism. We are in times of shrinking prices in real estate, people are losing their jobs, salaries and benefits are being reduced, and economists see nothing but doom and gloom. These are times of belt-tightening while judges are getting a 27% pay raise; something is wrong.
These raises all get back to royal traditions and classism, where the purpose of power and influence is simply to line their pockets, with one hand washing the other.
There is no way that a judge or politician or any ruler or king or president can properly have a sound judgment of its subjects when the level of comfort or has a wide gap between ruler and ruled. Those rulers simply do not understand the needs nor the motivations for people’s acts, when those rulers don’t know the conditions where the average citizen lives.
How can a judge fairly judge an unemployed father with back child-support, or a mother who shop-lifted a loaf of bread to feed the children, when the judge has a guaranteed job with all the comforts of a secured home, and with plenty on the table? Despite all the rules, that judge will never understand the pains inside those people whom he or she condemns.
Some people say that keeping judges well paid will deter corruption. If corruption can only be deterred by the judges getting confortable salaries, than those judges area nothing but a bunch of dishonest lawyers who got to be judges by having good connections. If that is the case we need common people to be judges, for the lawyers are the ones who need to present the evidence.
Jurors don’t have any law-training to decide who is guilty or innocent. That means that judges are obsolete. Therefore, judges don’t need to be paid more than the average, citizen or juror.

Why we are sinking

SEC Destroys Evidence Against Banks And Hedge Funds, Whistleblower Alleges

-------------------------------
My Take
Now we can see that there are no crooks in Wall Street, and no crooks in Government; they are just family helping each-other. If the articles is correct. This is the most despicable of all acts under the Obama II Administration. But the dirt involves more than one administration.
Where are the Quality Control processes for the Government. It is no wonder why the greatest country in the world is sinking faster than the Tintanic in proportion; we have more arrogant and more corruption inbbeded in our government than the Titanic did. How can congress let a watchdog not being watched.
According to the article, the SEC is running like hiring the Hell’s Angles to police the drug cartels.
Now, the question is starting to rise: How much are the SEC chiefs getting in their underground accounts? We all know that the SEC boys and girls are Wall Street lovers, like teenagers switching just boyfriends or girlfriends, just for the heck of it.
We have had both republicans and democrats controlling congress. But congress missed that too. Is that the clue why we sinking fast? Them professional politicians are just interested in getting reelected and caring for their flocks.
This is proof that when a country is run by money, it dies by money. It is called “Not giving a damn”. A capitalist’s conscious is like a street dog in a butcher-shop.

As Time Goes By
As Time Goes By
My message to each and every class mate.
Each person is the captain of his or her own fate.
I just wish I could go back on time of long ago
But, I realize, it’s rational to just let go.
You my class mates who taught me and led me.
I am glad for each of you who helped me to see.
There were things that I did not know if they were fact.
Thus, my ignorance resulted at times, a foolish act.
Only decades later did I notice the culture chock
It was too late, I couldn’t turn back the clock.
In October 19, of 1969, four, I did hurt indeed.
Please accept my apologies for such foolish deed.
Two guys and two girls; the guys are gone--RIP.
One girl I don’t remember; with the other, it was a flip.
Some of you only showed me kindness, and that was cool.
But, to each mate I ask forgiveness, for I was a big fool.
A full time worker at knight, and I was a student by day.
I thought that I would never learn English that way.
Thus, to study was a big sacrifice, and impossible at times.
Studying at the high-school parking lot, as common as dimes.
The impossible came, and I did graduate, like a long dream,
Only because I choose sacrifice, even as late, as it did seem.
Thus, the military became a path of many paths to come.
Today, I teach English and I write; contrary to times gone.
I have embraced the Gospel with all my heart and soul
I love to read what was translated from each holy scroll.
So, I think, thus, I am no longer a fool, and I am not a clown.
But, at this age, how much longer until I return to the ground.
So, my dear mates, I thank you, for what I did learn from you.
May God bless your lives, with His blessings that do come true.

Mitt Romney and the Anti-Mormon Clowns
It is appalling for a published writer such as Ross Douthat to publish a piece based on a very successful man while the writing’s tone is “Weirdness”. The tone seems very weird in itself. Weird people are normally off the mainstream of society; but, Mitt Romney appears to be a model that most people would like to emulate.
He is a Harvard graduate, he has built a successful business and he has a successful family. Such qualities are the model success dream envied by most people. These accomplishments are in parallel with a logical thinking process. So, the controversy on the article makes itself “weird”, or perhaps the writer being the “weird one”.
So, let’s play by Douthat’s tone about Romney’s, religion, which seems to be where the writer wanted to focus on without needing to know about what the LDS Church is about. Without the need to read the Book of Mormon or knowing about the LDS Church, we all know in general that the LDS church focus on self-discipline—a desirable quality, it focus on kindness--another desirable quality, it focus on self-reliance—another desirable quality, it focus on being industrious—another desirable-quality, and it focus on the future—eternal salvation.
If Douthat considers these qualities “weird”, than the writer should set an appointment with a good psychologist, and take the advice that would come.
Seems, whoever, that like most anxiety writers, Mr. Douthat was trying to attack LDS Church; but, by either lack of knowledge or without the desire to research, he chose Mitt Romney as the scape goat.
Perhaps Mr. Douthat should research religion in general; yes, from the over 5,000 religions today, he could focus on the predominant American faiths and check it out. To do that would take time, but if Douthat would do the research, his writing would have an intelligent sound.
He would find that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, contrary to popular religions, it is merely following the entire bible, while religions-for-profit focus on self-justification. Mormons preach for the love of God, rather than self-gain.
Such qualities from the LDS church is precisely what America needs at this time of disarray.
Mtt Romney would bring integrity to the White House—something on high demand now. So, if Mitt would bring his ‘Mormon’ values to our government, could that hurt the US in any way? On the contrary, being industrious, self-reliant, and being successful with integrity, with kindness and sharing is precisely what we need in our leaders.
Though, I don’t support Mitt Romney, Romney, thus far Mitt appears to
be the best candidate we have to bring confident to our government and to lead the country into prosperity with integrity.
So, Keeping still with Douthat’s tone, where is the “weirdness”? If anyone knows Mr. Ross Douthat, personally, please give him hand; try to persuade him into a good psychologist. That way, his next article will be toned on fact and integrity.

Will Volcanoes Cool Our Warming Earth?
by
John S. Dykes
----------------------------------------
My Take
Should we outlaw research and articles like John S. Dykes’? This article, as well as archeology, are showing the path of nature, thus exposing biased research. Many jobs are at stake here. Many grants and easy taxpayer money is disturbed by information on reality.
All archeologists who show that the Sahara desert was a fertile land about 6,000 years ago with crocodiles, should be arrested. Also, anyone who finds dinosaurs in places that are now desert, should be incarcerated for life. And news showing anything other than temperature increases, should barred. Info about elephant bones in the American southwest should be destroyed. I have even read in the news about old vegetation in what has been for centuries icecaps.
Please, info like that will destroy the carbon-foot-print business. Will the liberal academia be dishonored if info like this keeps on circulating? absolutely. But, who are we, to argue with people who have doctorate degrees and have their bodies making laws?
Those who live mostly off the ignorance of society, will present a thesis to prove that their credentials are worth the paper it is printed on. The politicians will go along with the loudest drum beat, and life goes on. At the bottom of the social rang, Joe D. Taxpayer will pay for everything, one way or the other.
He has wide shoulders and smiles when he is told that all is well and he is a hero who works hard. Meanwhile, the sophisticated upper class will disdain even being near Joe D. Taxpayer. Oh, I forgot to say that people are warming up the earth. Just ask All Gore, he wrote plenty about it when he was on the comfort of his heated swimming pool; and then, he got a Nobel-Peace prize for it.
