I have been so busy the last couple of weeks. Trying to get some work done before the session at the studio ends. It's ending next week and I feel like I haven't done 1/2 of what I wanted.

Have had a lot of things on my mind too but decided not to deal with them and besides some are sort of going away or becoming less of a problem.

 One thing that is on my mind is that idiotic health care 'debate'.  I don't watch the news but I do see a few things about it from time to time, like when AARP sends an email about it or one of the email groups I'm on starts a discussion about it.

Why can't people see that it's NOT a good thing for the government to take over any programs?

The government needs to STAY OUT of our business.  The reason the health care costs are getting higher is because if the government therefore the government is not the one to try to solve anything.

We Need Less government, NOT more.

They create problems that don't exist then try to fool us by telling us they will help.

Can't you see that?

I have taken a terrible hatred toward the city of Los Angeles and now California.  They still are awful places especially for politics and laws and restrictions.  But today I went to a part of the city that I haven't been to for a very, very long time.  It's where I grew up. Part of that area has always been somewhat of a tourist site.  It's near Hollywood, the county art museum and other attractions.  In recent years they have changed the look of the place and made it a big entertainment complex.  Before it was just little unique shops.  I read about an event they were going to have there so I went.  In Los Angeles there is NO place to park, anymore, that doesn't cost a lot of money IF you can find a space at all. We drove around looking for somewhere but finally went into the parking structure.  I was not happy about that right away.  One of the things about LA that I hate.  Then we go up to the shopping area, a guard/information officer whom I asked a question was so very nice and helpful.  She walked us over to where I could get more information.  I thought that was wonderful.  Then the girl at the information's booth helped us even more and was also friendly about it.  I almost want to say LA is could be a nice place.  BUT then I have to come back to my little corner of it with the police helicopters over head the unkempt houses, the graffiti, the worry about getting mugged or the car stolen from our driveway.

How come when I 'clean' something that is try to clear the mess in the house & the yard, it looks worse than when I started. LOL It's like the time I took apart my record player when I was a teenager, for some reason certain parts didn't fit back in. LOL I've been putting stuff away, making room on shelfs but now I have no place to sit down, again. Things are pilled on chairs & all over that weren't there before.

They are always so desperate.  They need people to work at the polls.  Why?  Doesn't seen to matter what the election is about or who's running.  The stupid Americans vote for the dumbest things.  Look at who's living in the White House now.  We don't have a president just some moron living there. It's getting very frustrating living in the US.  I hate this country when people do dumb things.  Congress is a bunch of fools who lie and take our money and tell us they are helping.  Who is the bigger fool.  Us the people for listening to them and letting them get away with it or them for making such a mess of things?

We've got to stop them from voting on a health care plan for the nation.  If that passes we are going to loose what little freedom we have left.  I guess people like having someone take care of them and not have to think.  I for one would rather think for myself and make my own choices.  Sure there's a cost but what's the cost if we turn over our minds and liberties to a 'big brother'?

The following is from a news letter I just got from that group,

The Council for Citizens Against Government Waste (CCAGW) is the lobbying arm of Citizens Against Government Waste (CAGW), the nation's largest taxpayer watchdog organization with more than one million members and supporters nationwide.  CCAGW is a 501(c)(4) nonpartisan, nonprofit organization that lobbies for legislation to eliminate waste, fraud, abuse, and mismanagement in government.  This is the website for that group: ccagw.org

 It seems that so many people are listening to propaganda without thinking through the situation completely.  

How could anyone 1st of all, think that the government could or SHOULD be in charge of a health care system?  That's insane.  Next, the government should not be in the health care business.  That's NOT what it was created to do.

I believe if we get a health care program where the government is controlling everything we will never have the great care we should expect.

How difficult is that for people to understand?  Americans must be pretty stupid or greedy not to listen to anyone who tries to warn them about the government taking over our lives.

Went to dinner with my room mate and daughter. Among some of the conversation was about that ugly evil person who lives in the White House now.  The non president. She used his name a couple of times. Every time I hear it I want to throw up.  She understands how the government plan for health care is so very bad and awful. We can't understand how so many people are being fooled by it.

The last time I got a US passport I do believe it was $50.  You know how much they want now?

$75.  Yes, that's $75 dollars, for what?  What is the big deal that they have to charge SO much?

I'm boycotting California.  I'm al boycotting the USA.  I think it's a stupid country with lots of uneducated people who vote of other stupid people who waste our money.  What is wrong with the congress? I think they make things complicated, at least much more than the ihad to be, so they can say, 'See, we fixed everything.  When they fixed nothing, but the problems THEY caused in the 1st place.'

For anyone thinking of coming to California ... DON'T.  It's not a very good place to visit or live. Spend your money in a more fun place.  Boycott California. Let them know they can't get away with taking any more of our money only to waste it, and then force us to pay more.

There was a poll the other day on Facebook asking if you would vote for O'bamba, the non president if you could vote today.  I was happily surprised to see that there are very many who are unhappy with the government. SEE! It is not only me, haha.  Same with the health care issue.  The government should NOT be in the health care business. The government is full of idiots who don't know what they are doing.  Health care costs more BECAUSE of the government. If anyone thinks it's going to get better they are foolish.  Sure, it might look better but when that's all you have what are you going to say?

I do NOT want the government in my life and it's already too late.  They are going to control more and more, little by little and people are too stupid to see.

Carabao, the greatest band in the world was just in Australia.  They did some concerts there this last week.  There has been a lot of talk on Carabao.net and Facebook about them being there and the concerts.  Photos have been posted too.

I've been talking to a few people on line about Carabao.  It's been making me feel better, sort of.  Still upset that Thierry, one of the singers in the band couldn't talk to me before he left. The time I called him he was in the studio making a recording so I didn't talk to him for very long.  That always makes me sad, not to talk to him.  But I'm glad everyone who went to the concerts has a good time.  I heard that at one concert they played for almost 4 hours.  WOW!  The standard show Carabao does is about 2 hours.

BTW. photos of Carabao can be seen on my web site.
