Dick Cheney

Dear friends,

People have asked me why I am mad at Wyoming. I am not sure who I should call and I am very sure I am not mad at all the people of Wyoming but when my President Obama won the election, Texas once again had GW but Wyoming failed to take back the VEEP. He is in McLean, Virginia and now there is talk that he is considering a run for the White House as Pres.

Now Wyoming is a pretty small state by population so maybe that had budget cuts. And it is true it took six strong guys to get him out of his office. He is getting old and he thought he had a lifetime appointment. President Bush Senior indicated that they had a dynasty going that would not stop. The original plan called for Jeb to be next but Jeb wasn't all that interested. He didn't like the idea of Cheney as veep. Uppity youngun thought that being President he should get to pick his own VEEP. So it is easy to see VEEPs confusion.

Now ex-Governor Palin abandoned Alaska due to lower oil revenue it was more work to govern. I mean there was some talk about lawsuites and complaints but that was probably just from those pesky Liberals that are always picking on the Prom Queen side kick of the Maverick who lost to Obama.

I am just worried that Dick has guns in McLean. In McLean the only hunting done these days is when the Pest Exterminators are called in. Well unless you want to count the terrorist squirrels that are always after the bird seed. McLean & Arlington are neck in neck over who feeds the pets better. We have indoor pets - cats & dogs mostly, and outdoor pets - bunnies,birds, squirrels, chipmunks & on very rare occasions deer.

New York Sunday Collision

I wanted to comment on the tragedy that happened Sunday when a Mother was returning home from a camp ground and ran head on into another vehicle as she drove the wrong way on a divided highway.

The owner of the campsite said the driver in question appeared to be normal when she left that morning. Her husband left about the same time. He to go to a fishing trip and her and the children were to head home.

She stopped at a McDonald's near the camp and got food for her 2 children and for her 3 nieces.

She was driving her brother's van. The same brother who was the father to the nieces she had in the van with her.

Reports from the scene of the accident said a bottle of Vodka was in the Van. We now know the cell phone she had used to call her brother, ( Her husband was in an area with poor cell reception), was not with her at the scene.

We are left with unanswered questions of what happened between her leaving the camp and the death of 7 people around noon. Forensic blood alcohol indicated double the amount of alcohol and traces of marijuana. That is what officials reported. Remember that these officials are reading a written report from someone in a lab. All indications are that this information was obtained from a blood sample test.

While I saw in the news the statement of blood alcohol content, I did not see a report of stomach content or a back-up analysis of hair. It was stated by the medical examiner that they did not see any signs of heart attack or any other medical situation that could have contributed to the tragedy.

Cameras at McDonald's did not indicate any instability in the driver. I have seen many people who have consumed that much alcohol and they are usually obviously drunk. Only a maintenance drinker that drinks all day every day could appear to be "normal". Each of us have a tolerance for alcohol that is individual. Alcohol destroys brain cells. My question is what, if anything else, could have attacked her brain cells. At a camp? Did she have undiagnosed Lyme disease? Was there perhaps a water bottle in the van that had Vodka in it instead of water or mixed with fruit juice? As I understand it there are more results expected in toxicology reports for late September so why was any report at all released to the media?

I hope people allow the one survivor, her son, to recover before starting to hammer him with questions. Chain of custody is an issue here too. I do not support drinking and driving, texting, cell phones, and any other distractions but I also do not support everyone playing judge & jury to get their name in the papers.

Peace on Earth by 2027

Hi, my wonderful friends,

I am starting to get serious about developing my Peace Project. My web site at peace2027.ning.com will gradually be developed to list all the many projects that are leading us toward our goal of establishing Peace on Earth by 2027. As many of you know, my slogan is Education + Prosperity = Peace.

I have a company named Prosperity Coalition LLC which enables me to do many things. Some involve charities and some involve business. Many projects I will be doing in the future will combine both along with public funds from the UN & other government sources.

I have decided that we need a new system of Education for the new global world. My system would be JIT education. Yes the same system that has been revolutionary in manufacturing & retailing can improve education. Just in Time = JIT. The old model, where we say someone will be a ___;

fill in the blank with Doctor, Lawyer, Teacher, etc. and then think we can sit them in a college for years and they will be ready to earn money and practice their field of study, does not work anymore. Online education is here to stay and by 2012 it will be educating more people than "bricks & mortar" schools.

Pocono Equestrian Organization

I would like to bring everyone's attention to a wonderful organization near Scranton, Pa. USA.

The CEO is Beverly Peffer. their web site is www.poconoequestrian.org and they adopt horses and train them to assist with special needs children. Now they work the same for regular children and adults which is why we are trying to raise money to get a permanent home for the organization.

Our goal is to raise $15 million USD in order to buy the land and build a stable and some bungalows, cabins, a "canteen"(place to get food & drink), some pavillions for group events and have enough land to have trails for riding.

There are plenty of opportunities for people to invest in this registered charity and get to advertise your name or your company. Please email Beverly at bpeffer@poconoequestrian.org with any questions.

You can also see more about this organization by checking out Horses Helping Humans in www.xing.com and www.ning.com or by going to my web site at peace2027.ning.com

President Obama in Ghana

CNN is right next to BBC in covering World News. I am totally disappointed in the coverage of the USA President Obama speaking live in Ghana. There is little point in advertising live coverage when you can't deliver simple audio/visual connections.

I applaud the concept of using local help in such situations but what has happened to pre-testing and quality control. Even after the even began there was no effort made to improve the connections.

For a company that does live broadcasts all the time I am wondering if everyone at CNN with technological expertise is on vacation this weekend. I think the local college kids here in Washington, DC could have done a better job of preparing for the President of the USA than CNN did in Ghana today.

The economy of the World

All over the world people have had a terrible wake up call. Greed & Destruction have taken over Capitalism and the results when the house of cards fell was the shot heard around the world.

While it will take several years for us to get back the wealth we lost in the Worldwide Financial Collapse, some will never get back what they lost.

Recently the Research company McKinsey took a survey of executives across the world and the results were that 25% felt things would get better by the end of June and 35% felt it would be in December. Now this does not mean we will return to where we were prior to the collapse but that we will be heading back in the right direction, banks will be lending more, and employment will improve. Some people will not return to work at the job they  were last employed at.

We are also experiencing what is referred to as a paradigm shift. This means that the entire system has shifted. As an example when the Auto was invented, many were fired from jobs making buggy whips because not as many horses were around compared to Autos. Worldwide production of Buggy Whips is probably less than 5% of what it was in 1880 as a percentage of the population.

I am seeing a positive trend in Social Capitalism which is similar to Social Enterpreneuring. In both cases the leadership is not merely interested in financial profit but also in ecology, social improvement, and conservation of natural resources.

One such group is INSE. That is International Network of Social Entrepreneurs and it is led by an amazing man - Christophe Poizat of France

Peace on Earth by 2027

I was in my 3rd class of Project Management when the idea hit me for the Peace Project. It was one of those things that just takes over your mind and you want to write it down before you forget it. So first I asked what does the whole world understand in all languages? I decided that almost every tribe and/or country had some sort of game where a goal was incorporated.

So the next thought was that is why we do not have Peace on Earth because nobody set a time or deadline for delivery. Well I wasn't sure at that point how long it would take so I pondered another question: What stands in the way? I came up with 10 topics and allowed 2 years apiece so that came out to 20 years. I graduated December 2006 so 2007 + 20 = 2027.

For now I will tell you the first 3 barriers to Peace on Earth

#1. Eliminate Domestic Violence - This is hard because many tribes do not see this as a crime.

            I have the theory that all human violence is rooted in DV. So it is like weeds. Run over

            them with the lawn mower and they spread. You have to pull them up by the roots.

#2. Proper Sewage & Clean Water - There are children dying before they are 5 years old

            because they drink and bathe in polluted water. They play in streets that have human

            and animal waste open to be walked in. This is just not acceptable. How can we expect

            people to be civilized when they live like animals. Actually worse than the animals of

            the developed countries.

#3. Univeral Education for all People - Online education can reach anyone and much cheaper 

            than constructing schools all over. Besides what is the point of a school where the

            students need to walk 3 hours one way. With 3 hours of education they would put in

            a 9 hour day.
