Well I'm back in Pigtown and no . . . I'm not interested in running for the Schoolboard again whether I'm needed or not. Many thanks for asking at the coffee today. What else? I've got to meet with an ex-soldier who had landed in a F.O.P. He had me swear up and down to never disclose his identity.

Yipee . . . Jury Duty
Here's how it works. You are required to fill out a Qualification Questionaire. Stuff like are ya a citizen, 18 yrs old, resident of the county, english speaker, disabilities, ever conficted of a felony, served in last four years. As you can see, I've never committed a felony. I did get stopped once for touching the fog line but was just told to watchout. I wouldn't think that is a felony anyways. So I'm Jury eligible.

Praise be to This ISIS Warrior
This cuts to the center of the issue. I will blow myself up . . . no wait, I've changed my mind.
PARIS (Reuters) - Salah Abdeslam, the Paris attacks suspect who was arrested in Brussels last month, refused to blow himself up on the day of the attacks, his brother Mohamed told French news channel BFM TV.
Abdeslam, who will be extradited to France, has renewed an offer to cooperate with French authorities investigating the Nov. 13 attacks that killed 130 people, his lawyer said this week.
"There would have been more victims had I done it," Salah Abdeslam told his brother. "Luckily, I couldn't go through with it."

Oh Come On Man
Here's the link . . . so how can the 'System' be improved if our elected officials never owe us an explanation? It's the terrible deal of folks being 'above the law and not of it.' There you go. Now I have to head to this caustic environment and be a happy juror. Man oh man cut me some slack. Silver lining in every cloud. I'll surly keep you folks up to date on this.

Before the Bombs went Boom (ISIS & Abraham Lincoln)
Well now . . . everyone is talking about what this blog considered days before more had to die. Anonymous responded the other day, before the bombing in Brussels, that ISIS gathers together making it easy to bomb them. Now we're finding out they are sneaky. We do know some of them have been well trained by american advisors in the War On Terrorism. Then they became bad guys. We all know money is the root of all evil. ISIS has been funding its operations from the sale of oil. Any guesses on who is standing in line to purchase it? I bet they are getting it cheap. You think ISIS is purchasing medican and food for its people? Nope. Allah provides them kinds of things. Ya think the cash is purchasing items from arms dealers? I mean they are not suffering from a lack of weapons.
The Military Industrial Complex is hungry. It needs folks who require death before it can feast on taxpayer dollars. Beheadings and everything else you can think of sure has everyone clamoring for more tax dollars to address this problem. Oh think of the money for an expanding police state world wide to keep us safe. The black market well provide for the boogiemen keeping them armed and dangerous.
Abraham Lincoln had this to day. "Bless all the churches (mosques) and blest be God (Allah) who in this our great trial giveth us the churches (mosques)." I figure President Lincoln was focused on faith and thus took some liberties, as you can see.

Thoughts on going Batty & My Fears
U have to be crazy to put something like this on the blog. You afraid of anything?
The Only Thing I Fear is the Death of Truth and Folks obessed with Self-Preservation. I mean . . . part of the issue regards the mindset. How can anyone step back and allow a woman to be led to a ditch to be raped and murdered? I don't get it.
The question above regards yesterday's post and I recently was emailed the following link. What do you think? Like I said, you're invited to post on this site. Just click on the comments link below and go for it. Nobody will know who you are.
Have we gone Batty?

Muhammad - Jesus and the Rest of 'em Thought Life was Precious
So Televison Reporter Atwar does a live shot in Iraq after a mosque is bombed. Her mother was Shiite, dad Sunni. She took a brave stance against death threats. She felt somewhat safe in her hometown. Here is the jest of her last brodacast . . . "Whether you are Sunni or Shia, Arab or Kurd, there is no difference between Iraqis. We're united in fear for this nation." Sunni Gun Men showed up after the story was aired and dragged her off after she screamed for help from a crowd around her. People were comfortable with not doing anything. She was raped and shot numeruos times before her body was rolled into a ditch.
So I'm having breakfast with some Iranians. Desperate times force desperate action. But what of life? I mean . . . killing unarmed women can't be right can it? Life is precious-right? Where do men come from that would pull this stunt?
You can let me know what ya think by clinking on the comment link and posting Anonymously. Nobody will ever know who you are. I promise.

Reading Indicators . . . We in A Mess
On the one hand ya have Sanders claiming the election is rigged. Then you have Trump proving it. The whole business about making the selection at the Convention. We you seen how Clinton obtained the support of the Super Delegates before this whole campaign got underway? That why Warren and the rest refused to even run? Just think . . . six out of the 10 riches communities surround Washington DC.
Anyone read 'Charley Wilson's War'? Talk about a ton of taxpayer dollars disappearing. How about 'Clinton Cash'? Reading seems to indicate we in a mess big time folks.
If you want to scare yourself, without hollering boo in the mirror, check this story out . . .

You Ask; I Answer
So have you Mr Rude paid cash for your car? That was the last thing you did to be stand up my friend?
I put the needs of others first, I served on a School board to the benefit of its employees and thus children. I was a cop for many moons and thus wrote about policing problems before they happened Oh . . . My cars are bought and paid for!

Cancer Sucks
OK
So the lady has cancer, big deal or is it. Having had cancer 4 times and lost body parts I am glad to say it has been 10 years almost 11 years since I had my last very large invasive surgery and I am still on this side of the curtain and able to get on with my life. It is not the very active normal life I lived before, but I have been able to do many of the things I enjoy and one is writing.I have to think respect and empathy plays in on this thing called life. You have battled cancer yourself and must realize what an awful process it is. Not only that, but this young lady finished her first book while in the grip of such a dreaded disease. I have had many conversations with her and hope I have been of service in some small way. I love the tone of your third paragraph, but then again, the power of positive thinking only goes so far. Marcie must have boat loads of it to have accomplished what she has.

Life Is Tough . . . Until It Gets Really Tough
In the course of nailing her first novel . . . 'Cat Skills' . . . Marcie found herself battling a monster. A real game changer that should cause us all to stop and consider our prespective. Thanks for finishing the story Marcie, you are an inspiration. Yes cancer SUCKS!
I'm all about honesty...I also believe in sharing how we all feel to our friends and family...so here goes my honest feelings...I am scared of this cancer...I hate this cancer...I pray I will live for a long time...I don't want cancer to be the cause of my death...I get very depressed when I lay down to sleep...my mind races with horrible thoughts of dying...It's HARD to be strong and positive...cancer SUCKS

Hungry to be Wrong?
The Bible is a great book . . . is the best gift, God has given man . . . . But for it, we could not know right from wrong.
So I'm wondering. Does man have an enormous appetite for wrong?
