Mark my words and circle the


Mark my words and circle the date;if we have Republicans in the Whitehouse we will be in another war(possibly the last because it will be nuclear),and another devastating depression.I'm re-newing my passport and liquidating all assets before the end of the year if Romney gets into office.That includes closing three businesses,and all bank accounts.I want a simplier life in a place that accepts all people as equal, and all beliefs as relevant.I could care less about the Christian Taliban as long as they leave me alone.I could care less about Republicans as long as they leave me alone.I accept all skin colors as equal, it's brains that are the problem.Our foreign policy has succeeded because Obama stepped out of the isolationalist period elite Bush put us into.China and Russia zoomed past us while Bain Capital,and Enron(now bankrupt)gobeled and sucked the life out of America.120,000 families have profited in the United States.All Republicans.This isn't a party remotely like your father's GOP.It's a hedonistic,self-serving,group made up by Grover Norquist followers that are as dangerous as Terry Jones.We don't need more drilling we need alternative energy that doesn't rape the planet.We have enough reserves and drilling going on all over the USA and offshore.Two nuclear plants had problems during hurricane Sandy.As global warming changes so must our infrastucture.

It's very simple.Average


It's very simple.Average people cannot compete with corporations.The middle class business owners have made as much as the working class here can sustain.Corporations cannot afford at the top to hire Americans if they are forced to pay a living wage.CEO's have their butts more than covered.Republicans systematically convinced us that unions were blood suckers.So smart business leaders,and savvy investors move corporations overseas.I'm going to have to follow them because I like my current lifestyle.They also invest and live overseas. Here's just a smattering of people that have done just what I'm going to have to do.Not on that level,but the writing is on the wall.That wall is now overseas.

A graduate needs one graduation present. A ticket to where the money is.The definition of insanity,it is said,is doing the same thing over and over and somehow expecting a different result.That's a close quote of Albert Einstein.

Corporations are protected from taxes if they are overseas.
By the way, I don't care what Al Gore thinks.If you use a reference that is caa-caa give me the link for reference.I don't follow "the Gore".

Sometimes I think voters need


Sometimes I think voters need a minimal I.Q. to vote or run for office. Vote "No" on all amendments.All of them are for special interests whether it's religious,governmental,or regulatory.Each will cause problems by interfering with belief systems,taxes,income,and will produce additional government regulation.We don't need more of anything that further restricts, or benefits select groups.Amendment 3 is one of the harder amendments to understand.

Colorado's similar amendment,TABOR, has decimated education,Medicaid,law enforcement,teacher salaries,and shut down city governments. It's a very Republican backed amendment that calculates taxes paid with caps that automatically rise with inflation.This has further burdened the middle class,small business owners,and has targeted minorities through the demolishing of public services,healthcare for women,and tuition hikes without voter approval just to name a few problems.

I have seen a huge impact of


I have seen a huge impact of deepening the river on my home on the river. My bulkhead fractured,and I've lost land along the water.I lost my dock and gazebo during the hurricanes so the bulkheads along the river already needed repair because they were compromised during the storms.The cost for these repairs are insane and I'm at a stage of life where I won't sink large amounts of money into anything I can live without.As older neighborhoods face this problem and are unable to make repairs to code the properties will lose value and in turn the city will lose more revenue.The city constantly bets on things then puts them in motion before there is real research done. Hiring a hotshot firm doesn't guarantee a project is the correct match for Jacksonville.
Years ago, without the any experience in the rental business, I turned an entire apartment complex from red-ink to working in the black within six months.The owner was delighted,surprised, and couldn't believe he was now making money.It was easy,took common sense, and lots of concentration on learning apartment law,what regulations were in place that would help,reading accounting sheets,and calling other managers to pick their brains. It took a hands on approach. With a background in new sales construction, I applied the knowledge of the number one rule in subdivision sales.If you cannot walk down the street in a subdivision you've sold and knock on a door and have a positive conversation with your new homeowners you are not doing a good job.The people that you do business with must be on the pro side not the con side of your decisions to make money and more importantly serve the people.
Jacksonville exists to serve its people. It's not doing a good job picking leaders. Picking leaders falls on the shoulders of the voters.

JEA is no great deal on


JEA is no great deal on affordable utilities,or getting in touch with a contact person when you have a problem, and their job is to maintain their infrastructure. That's part of why we pay such extraordinary fees for utilities.I believe the charge for utilities are not the same in all areas of town. I live in a huge house on the Southside but I am the only person that lives there full time.I have had outside energy inspectors take a look at my bills, and just shake their heads dumbfounded. There is no way one person can use four-five hundred dollars worth of utilities in any month.I do not turn on lights at night,don't flush after each use,do two loads of laundry per week,drink only bottled water,shower only when I go out which is two to three times a week,never water my grass,do dishes by hand,use my air-conditioner, and use fans when it's extra warm with my air-conditioner.I cook meals and freeze twice a week, so my microwave is used the most for warm ups.I have no additional freezers and one small refrigerator. I'm out of town frequently.I do watch TV, and compute. I read at night by oil lamps!I have friends in larger homes with more people that pay half of what I do.They live on the Northside.I smell a fat,stinky rat called the JEA!

Health Care article about Scott cutting Medicaid:
What will happen to those of us that tried to prepare for our long term care and locked in a rate over a decade ago in order to choose a nursing home we liked, and pay for it? I've been paying over two grand a year for twelve years to secure a place at River Garden when the time came.Now,I probably need to cash the policy out and go to Plan B. I'll commit a crime that will land me in Federal Prison,a luxury one,or go insane and go out on great drugs.
The 2012 list of the best facilities  is out and I found a few shockers.

Life is truly wasted on the youth who are responsible for making decisions that impact their parents, and grandparents.Just you wait my pretties...you'll be there sooner than you think!Pay-back is coming when I show up on my son's door step with bags packed and a hat with a feather in it.I guess that's Plan C.

Michelle rocks, and is my new


Michelle rocks, and is my heroine...since there are dummies out there with nasty mouths let me make sure you understand the word "heroine"
heroine [ˈhɛrəʊɪn]
n
1. a woman possessing heroic qualities
2. a woman idealized for possessing superior qualities
3. the main female character in a novel, play, film, etc.
It was a thrilling event, charged with passion,love,and humility.There was a melting pot of ages,Ethnicities,beliefs,economic status,and genuine caring for your fellow human was abundant in how every one conducted themselves.
None of us wore $1,000.00 bird shirts, Rolex watches,or desired to outshine the other. It was a seriously happy place full of hope, and the desire to continue making a difference here and abroad.We all understood how we got to where we are today, and had no idea it was as bad as it was four years ago.Many of you hoped we'd drink the cool aide but we threw it in your faces four years ago and will do so again.
There was no bigotry: bigotry
obtuse or narrow-minded intolerance, especially of other races or religions


Jenkins is a member of new



Jenkins is a member of H.A.Baptist Church, and one thing we need out of public education is religion.Not all of us need to be told what the right thing to do is, and our country was populated by people that wanted to be free to and from worship.Religious beliefs=war.Churches are nothing more than social groups and cults.Religion continues to loose popularity because it is in direct conflict with science.The Christian Taliban is just as egregious as the Muslim Taliban.
Jews and Muslims have rigorous religious schools in Jacksonville.They do not take public monies, and are self-contained.Murky water exists when we try to mix religion with public schools.If religious charter schools want to slurp public monies then they need to pay taxes.
H.A. Baptist church has over 6 million dollars in assets:

We cannot afford tax exempt status to any church school.

I don't like voting innew

I don't like voting in churches.I was bombarded today with religious, videos,the Ten Commandments,and there is supposed to be a separation between church and state. I've been voting for over forty years and remeber when precincts were in schools,libraries,city offices like the courthouse,and other public venues.The waters continue to become murkier and murkier with first charter religious schools supported by public monies, and polling places in churches.
One thing I can say is I am delighted this 18 months of torture is finally coming to an end.I am horrified over the money spent on this election, and don't expect much to change if Romney wins, because his policies have recently mirrored Obama's.I do worry that an isolationist like Bush isn't what America needs.I am hoping voters do not send the same Congressional,disfunctional bozos back to Washington.That's our real problem.
