Okay, well how can I make a difference?

Are there alot of things going on these days in currents events to cause one to feel overwhelmed, that there are so many things going on , that the forces of corruption in this society are just increasing. If your a sane person hoping for a "productive" positive life , what are you to do?

Well, whats going on?

President Obama recently decided to re-open the prisons/re-trial political prisoners at Guantanamo Bay. So whats if your decided on taking some kind of political action or demonstration or activity against against the policies of this government, you better think again.

Meanwhile Obama seeks to start a conflict in another front. This time in North Africa.

2.The Story out of Philadelphia that twenty or so Catholic priest have been disciplined on charges of molestation. Hasn't the Catholic Church had enough of this?
It just kind of fits in with my idea that if your a child molester, what the best place to do that sort of thing with impunity? Become a Catholic priest. Demons,demons you say? or maybe there the one who dislike the Catholic church, victims of the pedophile priest?

If the Catholic church wants to start doing something about the problem of Evil in the world, it should begin to address this problem.. Should we expect much hope expect much help from Pope Ratzinger, he's got a repudiation for "sweeping such things under the carpet". While President George W.Bush, pardoned some charges like this against the Catholic church.

But this is a problem for the society "en masse", its everyone in their own intimate but important way have been "molested". How many people have lost there jobs,there homes, their livelihoods, there pensions just because of someone else's failure to take timely action against an injustice? Its as if you witness or see a crime take place in front of you, but do nothing ..maybe out of fear. You feel okay about it, but then it happens to you , and by then there no one left to care.

3.The Daily Bummer of going to work (being one of the somewhat lucky ones), and actually seeing young people dressed as paupers, pushing along a shopping cart.Seeing former friends and acquaintances really hitting the skids.

Seeing young people,seemingly with loose morals and no money..cause they can't find a job. They'll start whoring, prostituting themselves maybe for money, maybe cause they think its cool,and hip. To me ,its backwards. This country's society and some of its people is going out of it way to tell its citizenry that this type of loose morality is okay. When its based on exploitation, and debasement of people in lower economic scales on most levels whats so hip about it?

4.Then I run into these people at the end of my day coming back to my hotel, potentially accosted by street people, some young. I don't know maybe some of them just need a friend..some just seem to be potential sex workers, some are. Most aren't working, Lots of them are doing illicit drugs.. All of which are supposed to be illegal in this Madrone Residential Hotel. But how can I tell these young people to stop begging, quit whoring..shun drugs...when there are no jobs? It as if there country and its leaders have forsaken them/us. How can I tell them there maybe a better way?

Its easy to get overwhelmed by this in my Life I certainly need to move but don't really have the resource to move , even so I'm afraid of leaving my mother, and stepfather alone to deal with all this stuff by themselves , so I kinda feel a bit stuck here.

4. A bit of good news, listening on a talk Radio show, K.G.O AM, Talk host John Rothman, had on his show 3-8-2011. a Public Defender, by the name of Jeff Adachi, who was going against some of the police corruption in the San Francisco, California Police department. A pretty courageous, yet maybe naive guy, but maybe he can do something. Seems like S.F.P.D has some problems, the last District attorney for San Francisco, Kamela Harris , got voted to the State of California Attorney General position. The former mayor of S.F got voted up (because his term was up) to lieutenant Governor, but before he left S.F he promoted then the San Francisco Chief of Police Gus Gascon, to the District Attorney position.

Why did Gascon want out of the S.F.P.D?, Who's running the ship over there? Does S.F.P.D have a corruption problem?

Besides dealing with the corruption problem in S.F, Adachi, also has tried ,and is attempting again to put a proposition on the voting ballot, modifying county pension plans. He thinks the current situation is untenable.the State and county pension plans are bankrupting States...he thinks that county employees will have to "pay-in" to there own pension plans. Adachi's first attempt to put that on the ballot was voted down.

Lets all say a prayer, and a word of "thanks "to guys like Public Defender, Jeff Adachi.

5. Pet peeve Number five, trying hunt around for some technology like an "Apple" IPAD, and not being able to afford it. All the best of that kind of technology is expensive, costing almost 1000.00. In spite of having some money ,I am reduced to buying this equipment "second-hand". Right now expect to pay $350..$400 for a used 16 Gig 1st generation Ipad.

After playing around with an IPad, I don't see how its much better than my old Wi-fi capable Laptop..the Ipad 1st generation has a good picture quality...But I didn't notice alot of it. Worth the money?

Mystics say, that if you want to change the world, start with yourself? Hmmm something to consider before trying to start a revolution.
