Police facing dangerous persons


The police of Ferguson and Saint Louis on confronting black teenagers that they thought might be threatening to them, so they emptied the pistols into the black teenagers. It seems to me that they panicked which I might have done myself in that situation.  Unlike me the police are supposed to be trained to handle dangerous situations.  The officers in Saint Louis were said to have tasers that could have just stunned him and he would be alive. I guess the police are use to using their pistols and don’t trust their tasers.

          The police culture seems to be them against blacks because black commit most of the petty crimes, but it’s always been that petty crimes are commit by the poor.  It is true that not all poor are black, a higher percentage of the blacks are poor than the whites if the police didn’t find it easier to pick on the blacks they would come after the poor whites and Hispanics.

          So I think the answer is better equipped and trained police as well as better educated populous. This might mean higher taxes for everyone; it would be well worth it to live in a safe and free country again.

A Prince is born


A Prince is born

Today the great news was that a prince of the World of born and this is a great event because it gaves us continuity and a look to the future were the new born prince will be King long after we have passed away from this planetary plane and something we have known in our lifetime will continue into the future of mankind. We were once ruled by Lords and princes that told us how to live and had the power of life and death over us, but they needed us  to feed them, build their castles, and fight their wars, but in turn the cared for our welfare fore they knew they needed us.

Today our rulers don’t think they need us anymore that they can play us against each other or let machines do the work we use to do. They are wrong future generations will united the workers of the world (not just one country) their machines will need us to operated them, but we will be one people of the world. Now this may many generations after us, but rest assured we will win in the end and we will have our prince to lead us

My Father, JFK and the Workingclass


My Father loved JFK, more because he was an Irish Catholic who had made it. Unlike my Father raised in a Protestant Country (Scotland) Kennedy made my father’s life long suffering worthwhile, yet I saw Kennedy and another sell out to the enemies of the working class, that portended to be with us only to stab us in the back in the end as many Democrats do.  My Father like many others left the country he loved and he did love Scotland and even England if they were fighting a common enemy. After being discriminated against in job after job for being an Irish Catholic he took to the streets, he once said the his proudest moment was when he put a brick through a Orange party Base drum during the Orange parade in Glasgow.

Don’t get me wrong the Kennedy Family did a lot for this country working within a system that heavily favors the elite class over the working class, and Ted Kennedy did a lot the improve health care in this country, which makes me think that senator if worked right can be more powerful than a President.

I think the fight goes on, but not just for Irish Catholics, but for all workingclass people around the world, and yes it looks like an impossible dream, but so did a free Ireland.

Babylon Long Island part one


The region was once called Huntington South. Nathaniel Conklin moved his family to the area, eventually calling it "New Babylon", naming it after the ancient town of Babylon around 1803. The town was officially formed in 1872 by a partition of the Town of Huntington.
 
Montauk Highway 27A is called Main Street as it runs through Babylon village with its little shops it is one of long Island's nicest places to visit.

Photos of Amityville Long Island NY taken in 2004 of the Park Ave Schools including the oldest Park North which I believe it was built around 1898 and once served as K to 12 for the Surrounding area as far away as Seaford. The other Park Ave schools added in 1932 and being modified here in 2004. The Merrick Road High School was built opened in 1952, 
Amityville was settled around 1653, name changed from West Neck South to Amityville when incorporated on March 3 1894, at a meeting where the people were fighting over a name, when somebody called out Amity meaning let be friendly most people like the name Amityville (Friendly village) and they are still trying to live up to that name

Walking to the bank


While I was walking to the bank I spotted what look like a big bird in the distance, when I got a little closer I saw two turkeys, one right in my path. When I walked up to it the turkey moves aside with a little garble sound and I kept on walking. A little farther down the road I passed in front of a mail truck, as I walked pass the truck the mail carrier leaned out her truck and says do you know that a turkey is following you, I look around and sure enough the turkey is right behind me, I walk a little more and the turkey is still there, now I have to cross a busy road (Rt. 112) to get to the bank, so I turn shout at the turkey to go home and it seem to get the message for she (I think it was a female) goes cross the road, I hope she went back to the other turkey that I think was a male, anyway she stop following me.

Culture of the people or maybe not


A lot of the American people blame the government for everything that goes wrong and they are partly right, we have Republicans that some of us elected to the government, that campaigned on the fact that they hate the government. Now when you hire a plumber, do you hire a plumber that hates plumbing?  No! So the problem is not just with them, but who hired them. One of the real problems of the American government is that both Republicans and Democrats depend on the same powerful elite to get them elected and reelected.  

The easy way people not the take blame yourselves is to blame just one man, for all that goes wrong or to credit them for what goes right, but if you look at the foreign policies for the last fifty years you will see little difference between Republicans and Democrats. Why is that? I suggest that it is because War Profiteers rule the pentagon, just look at the fact that the United States has found somebody to fight since World War two and even now have a military bigger than all the other nations militaries put together.

There is a big cry about the fact we use too much oil, but why is that? Back about a hundred years ago the United States had the greatest mass transit system in the world with both rail and light rail systems crisscrossing this great country of ours. The powerful elite discovered that oil could make them big profits if they could convince the American people that what they really wanted was oil burning Automobiles. There were other types of engines including electric, but that cut into their profits for not only buying oil, but there were fewer repairs on electric car than oil burning cars therefore less profits

There are many other industries that manage the American people like puppets to improve their profits, like what food you eat, what electronics to that you like, and many more. The point is that we need to redo our entire culture, support for international police force under the United Nations paid for by all nations, not just the American taxpayer, doing away with the need for each nation having their own military. Either rebuilding the American nation’s Mass transit systems and/or develop affordable electric cars.

The thing is we cannot be a nation of individuals, but we must finally form an American Society working together to help each other through rough times, together we can make a better America
