Adding My Opinion
December 30, 2008 by ItheConsumer.
Having done my due diligence and notified President Elect Obama Transition Team, Governor Easley of North Carolina, Senator Burr, and Congressman Brad Miller a few days before Christmas I look forward to challenging the political thinking of my learned and unlearned citizens on how the Children of the 21st Century can build a Better World than the Youth of the 60’s and Silver Spoons of the 70’s. For limited only by the Bold Vision of the President of the United States of America and the “Freewill of We the People” let me stand on the ground between My Peers Unalienable Rights to be Parents and the Guaranteed Civil and Constitutional Rights of Their Children to be Adults about Mans’ Government and Society in order to bring a Point of Political Order. Since in my opinion President Elect Obamas’ First 100 Days Agenda should start out something like the following;
Item One Day One:
Immediately after being sworn in and duly accepting the Office of the President of the United States of America, I do believe that President Elect Obama should ask to be accepted in the Halls of the Senate so that he may sign into Law Americas’ Commitment to becoming Energy Independent over the next 5-10 years with the full blessing of the Congress. For why there are many ways that a Community and State may seek to become Energy Independent in order to follow the Freewill of Their Citizens, I do believe every Member of the House of Representatives and the Members of the Senate can see the Wisdom of creating a Comprehensive Economic, Energy, and Environmental Plan that can build the road to the Promise Land.
For why there probably exists as many alternatives to fossil fuels as there are opinions. Given the limited funds of Government and Society may I challenge My Democratic, Independent, and Republican Citizens to explore their homes, neighborhoods, and communities and compile a list of ideas on how with the assistance of their Democratic and Republican Elected Officials they can build a clean, safe, self-sufficient environment that will aid in America becoming Energy Independent. For can the local park be better served by a neighborhood work group instead of the Parks and Recreation Department of the City? Surely the savings on fuel alone would make it adventurous to offer the Needy Families in the neighborhood a stipend to help them through the rough times in exchange for policing the park. And why not all the issues that make up a Community is that easy to solve, I do believe that with all the individuals, groups, and organizations working toward the single goal of rebuilding the Infrastructure needed to make America Energy Independent that Common Ground between the two political extremes will be found.
Than in order to take advantage of the moment, I would sprint the President back to the White House for a meeting with his Cabinet and Staff to sign an Executive Order allowing the Department of Agriculture, Commerce, and HUD to study the feasibility of building a walk-in pantry equipped with growing chambers just off the kitchen of the average American Home in order to lesson Americas’ Demand for fresh fruit and vegetables on the Global Market. For more than a status of Bling-Bling, I do see it as a way for Government and Society to encourage the American Consumer to keep and maintain a private stock of healthy food while benefiting the Citizens of the World. And though it may force the College and Community to teach a new form of Gardening and Farming to the average citizen, I do believe that it would be a good way for the Children of the 21st Century to show the Dreamers of the 60’s that they missed an opportunity to ensure the Human Race that America can Feed the World.
Because why I realize that it will take some time before everyone can grow everything they use on a daily basis in their walk-in pantry, I do see the day when the family cook will be able to go to their walk-in pantry and collect the items needed to prepare the evening meal. For why I cannot imagine what kind of impact that the release of such technology will have on the global market, I do see that with such products as the Aero Garden and Environmental Control Chambers the possibility for individuals, neighborhoods, and communities to grow most of their own food supply as more of an argument of security. So, why I know that I put “We the Corporation” in a rare spot, I do believe that by President Elect Obama signing such an EO. America will be able to directly challenge the Radicals of Society leftover from the Late 60’s and Early 70’s.
And not wanting to see the President work hard on his first day, I would have him have a fireside chat with the American Public that evening. For having won on the Argument of Change and faced with the many test that tomorrow will bring I do see it as an excellent time to thank the Conservative Movement of the 80’s for their Trickledown Economic Theory; however, looking out into the Future and given the support of the Freewill of We the People I do believe that the Average American Citizen can support President Elect Obama signing an Executive Order officially ending Americas’ Race to the Bottom and beginning Americas’ Race to Balance through a Trickle Up Economic Theory.
For why it may be hard for My Democratic and Republican Peers to accept the fact that 30 years later America does hold the Cardinal Knowledge to solve such social issues as hunger and poverty. Knowing that these problems are going to have to be solved through the Argument of Labor and Management by My Peers and Their Children, I do believe that “IF” President Elect Obama was to follow this course of action that the world would be forever changed. So, why we wait for the President of the United States of America to deliver His Personal Bold Vision and the response of “We the People” let me assure My Fellow Democratic, Independent, and Republican Pundits that I await their response to letting the Children of the 21st Century building a Better World than the Youth of the 60’s and Silver Spoons of the 70’s.

Happy Holidays
December 23, 2008 by ItheConsumer.
Wishing you and your family Happy Holidays!
I plan to take a break for a few weeks and hope that you enjoy my new postings on My Blog and Personal Website. For why I apologize for being silent for so long now that I can defend my position. I will do a better job next year getting involved in the Daily Issues. So, enjoy your family and friends this Holiday Season and prepare for a debate. Because why My Peers will never ever let me build an Uncivilized World, I stand ready to debate any Human who believes that the Children of the 21st Century cannot build a Better World than the Youth of the 60’s and Silver Spoons of the 70’s
Merry Christmas and a Happy New!

A Bump in the Road
December 23, 2008 by ItheConsumer.
With the conservatives screaming about the bailout of the automotive industry and banks, you would think that this type of economic breakdown has never happen. However, someone needs to remind the Youth that between 1968-1974 stocks lost more than 75% of their value because of the Ignorance of Man. And why that is just one in a long list of stock market crashes, I would like to hear their plan to do nothing except let the banks and car manufactures fall into Bankruptcy. For what would the World look like if 499 of the S&P closed their doors tomorrow and walked away? Does anyone care to give it a try?
No, America and the other Governments of Humanity have worked long and hard at trying to build a Better World over the last 30 years. Not Perfect nor intended to be, but one that has kept the World Leaders from blowing up the Earth, nonetheless. So My Democratic, Independent, and Republican Citizens, the way I look at this Opportunity of a Nation is that “We the People” can hide our heads in the sand and hope for the best and brightest in Washington to come up with a solution to the Issues of Man that they have been dealing with for the last 40 years. Or, We the People can help the Children of the 21st Century and President Elect Obama work with Congress and Americas’ Democratic and Republican Civil, Political, and Religious Leaders to find a 3 Dimensional Political Viable Solution to the Issues facing “We the Corporation.”
For why I hope that one day someone will look into what Sec. of Treasury Snow did around 2004, I do believe that America is still going to need a strong Banking System and a solid Manufacturing Industry if America is going to stay Independent. So why a $1 trillion sounds like a lot of money, compared to over $52.5 Trillion per year in the current national power grid I do believe that it is a drop in the bucket so to say to what can be done by We the People if Americas’ Democratic and Republican Civil, Political, and Religious Leaders were given the proper political and societal tools needed for the investors to see a safe and stable return. Because like the stock market crashes of the past and those in the future, the global economic meltdown and lack of credit is driven more by a lack of direction and leadership by Labor and Management than the fundamentals that govern profit and lost.
Yes, look at projects like the Hoover Dam, TTA, and the Highway Programs of our parents and grandparents not to include the Great Depression Work Programs and tell me that you would be where you are at today if Americas’ Ancestors refuse to accept that Life Changes on its own terms. And why I am sure that all the Issues of the Late 60’s and Early 70’s cannot be fixed tomorrow or the next 4-8 years. Limited to a personal opinion I can almost guarantee My Peers that their Children will have more questions than answers if My Conservative and Liberal Citizens would stop repetitive positions and start offering positive solutions to help Americas’ President and Congress tame the Political Winds of Change.
So, looking forward to getting back into blogging in the New Year in support of making America more than Energy Independent through Self-Sufficient Means I do hope that My Community Elders and Peers are ready to be shocked by Their Children and the Power of the President of the United States of America. For change is coming; however, knowing that it will by far more timid than mine I will try and respect the Spirit of the Law held by Americas’ Democratic and Republican Elected Civil, Political, and Religious Citizens and Leaders.
