A MarketPlace of Ideas                        

Every once in a while you get a square asshole day.  That’s the day when every little movement whether mental or physical is painful. Every action has excessive friction. These days you can try really hard and just bear the pain.  When I do that while programming I find that the next day seems to be very productive.  Maybe that’s because its an easy comparison.  Or in other cases you can just take the day off.  Whatever you choose I’m with you in spirit.  Feel free to detail your square arsehole days here in the comments section.

Credit for the type name goes to a former boss Bob Fuller at Honeywell. He pitched the idea on a day long ago when I wasn’t feeling so good.

1) Border agents  shoot a drug smuggler, they end up in prison.

2) Border agent takes bribes to allow illegals to cross. He gets 6 years.

3) President Clinton fires 93 Federal Attorneys, nothing is said.   Bush and company fires 6 and its the Man Made Global Warming end of the world as we know it.   ( but yet I feel fine ).

All this is very telling.  What it says is don’t go against the unwritten law as follows:

–1–  Don’t scare off illegal immigrants. Really that is what this is about.  All we need is a few random acts like this and the lack of predictability will intimidate all but the most hardy. Thus the message is don’t scare off the illegals.

–2– Message here is simple.  The politicians are already waving in the illegals.  The problem here is the guy got some money but the politicians didn’t get a cut.  These guys can’t stand a deal where they don’t take a LARGE percentage.  Every deal in the USA is taxed taxed taxed.  At rates that are far out of kilt with actual value delivered.  But these guys have no conscience.

–3– Typical Stalinist show trial mentality.  The sad thing is Americans seem to be falling for alot of this crap. 

Land of the Free ?  Don’t make me laugh.  Coercion runs amok.  So many Americans are hothouse orchids now days the only thing keeping us above water is that the other governments/societies of the world are even bigger millstones around the their populace’ neck.
