World Series Baseball A game of Imaginery Inches

Baseball umpires are known for missing calls. Probably because noone discusses the right calls and scream cry yell and holler when a bad call goes there teams way.

This goes on all year and then in the playoffs the world gets an idea about how bad it is. 

There may be a change but if anyone that gets a paycheck regarding mlb and they complain they will be fined. If you are a player and you argue balls and strikes you are tossed immediately. 

With all the tech today it is obvious we should move to a digital strikezone, let the announcers call balls and strikes and outs on the field. Anything would be better than sticking with tradition.

No More Fisherman

The American Dream is being squashed by large corporations. Maybe not completely but our dreams are harder to obtain now than any time in history. 

 

With all the ability of corporate America, to define its costs to the penny, use its buying power and lobbying power to push common citizen’s wages down or  remove them completely, we don’t need to give them more incentives.

 

I understand that it is each corporation’s sole mission to make money. It is also our government’s duty to protect our freedoms. The freedom I am most concerned about currently is our freedom to pursue happiness. Our country has provided an immeasurably large group of consumers. We are bombarded by commercials, ads, billboards, newspapers, and radio, which describe why we can’t live without an all new product.

 

The term “fish in a barrel” comes to mind. Except this barrel is offering corporations around the world huge tax incentives in an effort to get more of them to shoot at us. Personally I am tired of getting shot at. Moving to a new barrel is out of the question. So maybe we can send a message to those supposed hunters out there. “Stop Shooting and throw us a bone.”

 

It’s getting hard to survive here in the barrel. Maybe we can get government to start protecting us fish instead of getting more shooters. Maybe you can give us some of those incentives you were talking about to get our own guns so we can shoot back at the corporations.

 

If nothing else just put corporations on the same playing field as me. I think the past 50 years of tax breaks is enough now it is time to cash in on all those incentives we have been handing out.

America Needs E.I.

America is the best country in the world we just need to remind everyone.

We need to commit 100 billion dollars over the next 5 years on becoming Energy Independent. By investing this money on this issue we take large strides in so many of America's concerns

The jobs created by this commitment will directly and immediately affect America. It will put one million people back to work with jobs that are high paying with benefits and not available to be outsourced

The health care that will be employee provided will help hundreds of thousands of Americans get health insurance for them and their family

The poverty level of America's will decrease with every person we can place in a good job. It will take a lot of manpower to install and maintain the power infrastructure through out America

The education system will have dramatically increased budgets due to the increased tax base throughout the country. Also billions of dollars that are currently being sent to foreign nations to buy energy will be kept in our borders.

Our environment will be saved at the highest level when we start utilizing our citizens ability to develop new technologies that will take full advantage of our countries renewable energy sources.

America as a country is entering into the world economy with a national debt. The best way for us to eliminate this horrible burden is by investing in our future. The best investment is Energy Independence.

This is only the first step of many we must take. It is the best first step and everyday we do not take it is another day all the topics I just brought up go on.

Let this first step land with a thud that roars across the oceans to the OPEC leaders. Lets stop talking about what we need to do and allow the thuds of our steps carry our message
