Hello again!
Things have been pretty quiet around the old homestead lately. I've just been hanging around watching all the beautiful fall foliage drift slowly down and fill up my yard. The air is getting cooler and before you know it, the snow will be knee high. Joy.
Not!
And I want to know why it takes a guy 20 minutes to iron a shirt and women have it done in 17 seconds. What's up with that?

The Semiconductor Industry
Didja ever notice that every few months, the Computer Chip Makers come out with a newer, faster, better processor?
This seems to me that they already have the advanced technology developed; they are just putting out incremental improvements to hoard more money from the consumers.
Sure they have to recover their development costs, and cover payroll, benefits, marketing, bonuses, and other overhead. I think it would be a great technological leap forward if they would simply introduce the next greatest thing without the incremental stair-stepping.
Or maybe I’m just impatient for Holodecks to become a reality.

The War In Iraq
My thoughts about the war in Iraq lead me to conclude that the initial concepts about removing Saddam Hussein from power were, indeed, worthy goals.
This has been done. It is now time to get out of the middle eastern countries. Bring our men and women in uniform back home. Enough is enough.
I am tired of the United States of America having to be the babysitter for the rest of the World.
I am tired of having to PAY for the United States of America to be the babysitter for the rest of the World.
We have plenty of other problems and issues in our own back yard right now. The economy still sucks, pertoleum prices are out of control from the greedy, rapist oil companies, our medical care system is a giant scam, our educational system is teetering on the brink of ultimate failure, our cultural and moral ideals are disintegrating, family values are at an all-time low, crime and alcoholism are on the rise, drug abuse, emotional abuse, physical abuse, skyrocketing divorce rate...
... where is it all going to end???
Don't get me wrong, I am a true American, a true Patriot, and I strongly believe that the United States of America is the greatest country on the face of the planet. It's just that we too have our issues - no place is perfect.
Although, I am personally all for the re-establishment of the Monroe Doctrine.
