    No respect...

    This older latin fella had no shame taking a urine leak, in broad daylight practically right next to where I was...they seemed totally unconcerned that I could see them...and almost like dared me to say anything...so instead I took the shot...photo that is...

    Well goodnight...I've been on the net way to long...bouncing around from forum to forum...

    Right now I'm eating a raw tomato...

    [​IMG]
    I was so starving for some fresh produce today, that when I saw it at a truck stop today off route 285 in NM...I had to get it...should of got like 4...and I'm eating it raw...that's kind of me dinner for the night...that and some unhealthy dorito chips...

    I think it's the first time I've ever eaten a whole tomato like an apple....and it's delicious...

    To the non trucker readers...ya just have to make do out here best way you can...

    Sometimes your able to eat a decent meal, other times ya might have to settle for sardines and crackers...

    Goodnight..

    Columbas Day...

    [​IMG]

    Hello, and happy Columbus day...I guess....

    The day has really become mired in contriversy to many Native Americans who feel Columbus day represents genecide to their past ways off life, culture and heritage...

    And to the Aztecs of South America as well...the whole hemisphere basically....

    [​IMG]

    The Americas had vast untapped resorces that Europe desperatly wanted, needed, to run plants back home and to expand empires...but the Indians were standing in the way...(small detail)...

    As a result, many bloody wars were fought...the Indians did well for what they had, but in the end, they, the Indians did not have enough industrial might to win...

    And often times rival tribes were conned into fighting for the invaders, in promise that they would be equal participants in the new empire...not so...once they were used to help Spain, France, England defeat their foes...then they were turned on...and given a sub class designation....

    There was already people here inhabiting this hemispere...from the Northern most reaches of what is now Canada, to the South most tip of South America...
    All reshuffled in the name of 'Progress'...

    And the slaves come into play cause well all these resorces...but no machinery to 'tame' it or harvest it or prepare the land...labour...

    [​IMG]

    Lots and lots of labour was needed...

    And the rest, well like they say...is history....

    Some feel they greatly prospered from the above events, others feel they got the shaft...

    Anyways...it's Monday...I have a bit of free time...need to get some stuff done...
    I need to ease back on my writing here so i can concentrate on some books I want to write, publish...

    Writing on here really absorbs a lot of mind energy that I should spend on writing books...

    back in a bit....

    This is my own quote from page 110 post 1091....

    And today I heard the term 'Banksters' being used by a radio host in relation to the Wall street protesters...

    Told you people would take it from me, and not give me credit for it...

    Instead the credit will go to some Starbucks cafee drinking emo type fella with a cute face....

    I never get credit for anything...but my ideas are powerful and resignate into movements....

    So I just watch from the sidelines....

    ( I wrote this before the Occupy Wall street fiasco begun...and now look)

    But for the record...I think the 'Occupy Wall street' crowd or movement, are going after the right sorce...the Banksters...and those who practice other scrupelious means...that I don't have correct terms for now...and how they manipulate money, economies...

    Where as the Tea party simply thinks the Republicans are the answer to everything...

    The Tea party people seem to think simply switching out elected officials, will change things...

    They all work for the same banksters.....

    Basically the Tea Party montra is.....Republicans gooooood.....Democrats baaaaad......

    So the Tea Parties solutions is simply to shuffle around polititions...rather than go after the true financial vipers....

    In other words, the tea partiers are just extensions of Rush Limbaugh and Sean hannity talk radio hub bub....no solutions...they seem to think the solution is to simply put a different set of polititions in the whitehouse...which is not a solution at all...

    Where as the Occupy Wall street crowd...they're going after the sorce...they're going after corrupt practices...they're going after the money horders and manipulators....the sorce....so to me their smarter, and less political than Tea party people who simply organized cause they don't like President Obama...

    That's politics, but not a solution....

    Tea Parties seem to think if Republicans ran things, all life everywhere would improove, and the banks would behave....(false)....

    The solution goes beyond both parties, and has nothing to do with right or left, and everything to do with greed....

    Tea partiers just focus on political sound bites...'cut spending'...blah blah blah....

    At this stage in the game, this country, spending will never be cut....that's just a political sound bite...

    And the Tea Party would never even have formed, had Obama not been elected...which tells me they're a totally political group...

    If Obama wasn't elected...the current tea partiers would still be at home, regardless of spending...which makes them seem real disingenious to me...

    As such, I can't take them serious...

    Where as the Wall street protesters...they have been protesting International bankers since Reagon and Clinton and Bush and now Obama eras....

    They've always been out there....regardless of who was in office....so I think that group is more genuine....whether right or wrong, they're much more genuine...at least in my opinion...and going after the sorce, rather than going after elected puppets...

    For the record....

    Ice cube recently told me this in a song....Ice cube is telling me I need to be true to the game...and that the mainstream will never accept me...and maybe he's right...

    I'm in the West coast again...(........)



    After today...I think I'll dance...(..........)

    No wonder God got me away from here....

    Anyhow...I feel like adding the following about the Wall Street protesters...

    It's common to hear the types of Limbaugh and Hannity routinely mis represent the protesters...

    I call that being deliberatly intellectually dishonest...and that's why I can't respect either of them...they lie...

    Whether I agree with their tactics or not...I at least know what they mean, even if they don't...

    1. They are not against 'capitolism'...as most know it...

    The protesters aren't against someone opening a business (with the banks help) and selling an item for a profit, and or expanding and hireing others...

    2. What the protesters are against are shady, dishonest practices of large investment firms who play with, steal, manipulate investers money, who take risks
    with other peoples money, who get tremendious tax cuts and breaks, and give themselves gigantic multi million dollar bonuses while defrauding the American public and tax payers with government bail outs and substities...
    And that's just the surface....

    So it's not your mom and pop type of captialism the protesters are against...their against wall street fraud, which the rest of us pay for...
    Companies shipping jobs over seas, while reducing work hours here at home, and yet still getting tax breaks...

    3. What wall street does is not capitolism....rather they manipulate the value of money for their own gain, and our loss...
    And for Rush and Sean to call this capitolism is gross...and they know better...

    4. Rush, Sean and the like, also constantly frame it as a 'Democratic uprising'....the democrats had nothing to do with this....current conditions do...people suffering do...not politics..

    Rush and Sean have forgotten how to look at things, issues, outside the framework of Washington...
    Anyhow, that's all I have time for now...
