The Truth Hurts...

     (Some names have been changed to protect the privacy of concerned individuals) Today I would like to tell you about a working man. A man with a family, wife and child, who is out here in our great nation doing the best he can to make ends meet each day despite the troubles our economy faces. A story of a man who I have been proud to call friend for most of my life... Let me start out by telling you a little about "Bill." He works for the county where he lives and he has lived in that county for most all of his life. He abides by the laws and doesn't get in trouble or cause problems for anyone. He is dedicated to his family and friends and you couldn't ask for anyone better to have your back in the time of need. One day near the beginning of March "Bill" stopped in the local branch office of his bank and wanted to make a withdrawal from his joint savings account that he holds with his wife. To his horror he is told by the teller that his JOINT saving

I just spent the equivalent of a weekend with one of the brightest 24 year olds on the planet. You might wonder why I profess such a bold and certain statement, and I can tell you why, he is willing to endure and cope with the pain and stress related to thinking for himself and for the betterment of humans, our species, not just head to the grindstone in the shallowness that is America. He believes in people my age, which instantly shows his intelligence, and takes a concept of someone else's and is willing to make his voice heard  AND  add his spin on the whole damn thing. He pulls no punches and tells things like he sees them. He has earned my respect with merely expression of his thoughts and the picking of his mind. He gave me hope that I can succeed and that is a rare in beautiful thing to find in life... He made Whitney's words ring true...The children are our future, lest we never forget that... More to come my loyal listeners...

I'd like to talk a little bit about Pennsylvania House Bill 1393 sponsored by Rep. Mark Cohen and others.  I just finished reading the bill in its entirety and have been studying the history of the bill since its introduction to the House. I am glad that legislation has reached the state level that calls for the use of marijuana for medicinal purposes. I also want to state that I am an intelligent educated man who is a history student and also understands that to error is human, and as I have erred and learned from my mistakes, I hope our great Commonwealth will realize the time for change has come and learn from its mistakes both economic and moral.  This is not only the right thing to do, but with the proper education provided in harm reduction to our youth, it can be a huge benefit to the economy of our state and our people. In response to Sharon Smith of Mechanicsburg, PA who testified in the bill hearing, I do wish to express my condolences or your tragedy, however I abhor

Today I am only going to pose a question to you all...As we  "be" within the confines of our own minds, what is the end of the world that we are all bracing for in 2012?

I realized it is time for me to say what I think the world needs to hear, so if you are at all interested in that, tag along and keep picking up what I am gonna be putting down. My voice is strong...

If you are truly without fear then you should have no problem with accepting someone else's view as to what the end of the world as you know it will be...
