A Happy And Fruitful New Year To You!


December 31-2010:

A Happy And Fruitful New Year To You!

The year 2010 could be remembered as Challenging, Economically bleak, and Uncertainty for most of us. Even as we experience economic troubles locally and internationally, we are still hopeful, that the stormy cloud of uncertainty will pass over.

And a New Day will dawn come 2011.

As we prepare our minds to embrace the new year, let it be Pleasant, Hopeful, and Resolute.

A Happy New Year 2011 to you, your family, relatives, and friends!

Om Shanti.

Facebook Has Joined The Online Internet Policing Vendetta!

Here of late, I have observed Facebook removing users from their wed page for simple things like posting Animated Suggestive Pics. Anything that vaguely resembles Sexual Conduct, and not in keeping with their CONSERVATIVE mind set, will be removed. Along with the user who posted it or those photos.

I was one of those victims of the Facebook Policing methods currently being ENFORCED.

Hitherto, when Facebook was starting up, and it's users were not in the millions, they were very pro-user, and user friendly. Now Facebook has become a Global Online empire, making billions in US an Euro Dollars, their attitude towards users Online have changed dramatically. And much to the demise of Free Internet Interaction among ALL users.

I ask all those who still cherish Internet Freedom to petition Facebook about these acts, and object to the removal of users who POST Animated cartoons on their pages. This is MOST RIDICULOUS to say the least.

And MUST be VEHEMENTLY objected to!

How Could Jobs Be Created In The Short Term?

http://mimbari.livejournal.com/113941.html
http://www.vloggerheads.com/profiles/blogs/how-could-jobs-be-created-in

December 10-2010:

How Could Jobs Be Created In The Short Term?

Firstly, no employer will hire anyone, unless he/she needs that person.

Secondly, every employer strives to limit overhead costs, and that entails a decreasing staff, or pressing those already employed to work smarter, produce more, and increase productivity in overall performance.

Services And Industry:

If you are a producer of some product, your primary intention is to find a location that provides reasonable tax requirements, cheap labor, market and supply access routes, and a reliable customer source of revenue. When that is established, the possibility of persuading customers and potential customers, to buy more of your produce may be entertained via marketing and advertising avenues.

If there is a Labor Union in house that you (the employer) has to appease, it makes even more difficult to exploit the worker, and the expense for Health Care and Workmen's Compensation/Injury on the job Benefits makes for increased overhead costs too.

The same can be said for the Service's Industries. Minimum wages may be the pay for new entrants, but no employee will give his/her best performance with a minimum wage indefinitely. Therefore, regular worker turnover via resignations, can impact how you the employer is able to provide that service, and how efficient it will be.

Demand And Supply:

Businesses are mindful to provide for the demand and supply of goods, and services. Entrepreneurs decide how and where new inputs or produce is realized. And what type of skills/abilities are required to furnish that or those needs.

If the local economy does not have or cannot provide the skills needed immediately. Then the employer may take his/her business overseas. And when this is done by several large and small businesses, the local economy suffers from mass un-employment, lack of consumer purchasing abilities, and slow economic growth.

Teachers-Training And Children!

http://mimbari.livejournal.com/

September 26-2010:

Teachers-Training And Children!


Being a teacher in the USA:

It is not easy being a teacher in the USA. Some children here seem to have little or no regard for whoever stands at that Chalk Board. Much less listen to or obey some of their instructions.

And some children (especially young boys), who are taller and bigger than their class teacher, feels that he can do anything, and his teacher dare not challenge him, and disregard some of their instructions.

College Aspirations:

How many Secondary School graduates can afford to attend a four or two year college in the USA today?

I guess no many, for the following reasons.

* If you are from a lower income or working class background, especially a Single Parent who provides for your needs.

Chances are, even with scholarships, you may never be able to attend college full time for four years straight.

* The Semester fees are enormous, the cost for text books are always raising, especially at the end of every Semester.

* Computers, travel, snacks, and other personal essentials add up on a daily basis.

* Most colleges want their tuition fees up front, especially if you are a freshman or woman.

So it does not matter how brilliant a child is after High School. He/she must be able to provide tuition fees, or get loans in order to attend any two or four year college.

And when he/she graduates, is left with several thousands of dollars in (student loans with interest), to pay for decades after graduating from college.

The New Consumer Protection Agency Czar!

September 17-2010:

The New Consumer Protection Agency Czar!


Elizabeth Warren (Asst. Advisor To The President, and Special Advisor To The Treasury), is now The New Consumer Protection Agency Advisor.

She has made it quite clear her intention to just setup the Agency, but has no aspiration to become Head of that department.

Fearing that the Republicans will not favor her in that position, and will frustrate the process as best they can, to prevent her nomination to that position.

QUESTIONS:

* To whom would she be subordinate to?

* Would this agency be autonomous?

* Could this agency bring Legal action against any Business, Bank, Broker, or Insurance company if it can be proven, that they have defrauded some consumer/s or have used misleading information, advertising, or jargon to exploit consumers?

* Would the employees of this agency be Federal Employees, which would allow them to access or receive Federal Health care benefits, salaries, etc?

These are salient questions which need answers right now!

The Miss Universe & Miss World Contests!

August 30-2010:

What Is The Point In Contesting For A Miss World Or A Miss Universe?

Firstly, how on earth could anyone determine who or what makes someone a Miss Universe or a Miss World?

Is this determination made just from those who participated in some preliminary evaluation contest?

And how valid is this presumption anyway?

These are questions that I have asked myself time and again, but still ponder this ridiculous competition. States and organizations are getting on the bandwagon of Global vanity, to have their women paraded in front of the cameras, harassed, ridiculed, cajoled, sexually molested sometimes too, just for the moment in the spotlight when she will be crowned Queen of the Harem!

Couldn’t we find some other competition to involve our women in like Educational Excellence, Personal Skills at some craft or endeavor, or Voluntary Humanitarian work?

It is now high time for us all, especially Black or Women Of Color, to ponder and re-consider before jumping on the bandwagon of personal vanity and fame!

Being Over Fifty & The Ability To Think Rationally And Clearly!

http://mimbari.livejournal.com/

July 16-2010:

Being Over Fifty & The Ability To Think Rationally And Clearly!

I have often heard people say that after attaining age 50, one's ability to think rationally, clearly, or quickly, becomes impaired or slows down. This to my mind is RUBBISH. For the following reasons.

* I am now 60 years of age. And my ability to think clearly, rationally, and quickly have not slowed or is not impaired.

* Secondly, I wrote my GED or the High School Equivalency Exam in December 2005. I was 55 years of age then. And I passed that exam with very high grades too. When I attended classes, there were a few adolescent individuals therein that ridiculed me openly for being there.

Because they felt that I could not cope with the studies, or that I was too "OLD" to be there. But I showed them that I was not too old to succeed. While several of them repeated the course several times, others fell by the wayside. And others dis-continued it, some time during the course period.

Is There A Future For The Over Fifty Folks?

It depends on what your interpretation of a future is. If you intend to seek employment at the ground level, or beginners level. Then that might be a bit diffcult to achieve. Most employers tend to hire the younger or youthful for such positions, regardless of past work experience.

It seems to be preferred because they can be paid far less wages, than those with past related experience. In some cases, employers seek older employees for specific tasks or positions, that require past experience.

This saves them from having to train recruits, which cost the firm money, and time, while this process is being done. And there is no guarantee that the recruit will stay afterwards for any lenghty period either.

Plus, over fifties bring stability, loyalty, is good at taking instructions, are very often self-supervised, and punctual too. And most over fifty folks do this part time, with very specific needs and expectations, regarding their Contract Of Work/Service.

Most over fifties have already decided what they want from life, for their career or future prospects.

The Right To Bear Arms Amendment Upheld By Supreme Court!

http://mimbari.livejournal.com/

June 28-2010:

The US Supreme Court Upholds The Right To Bear Arms Amendment!

This comes as no surprise, considering the fact that this country was founded and developed with this aggressive and lethal weapon called the gun. The Spanish American War was also fought, and the conquered lands were never returned to Spain by America.

Thus making those Spanish named states the bone of contention for most illegal Mexicans, who see no illegality in crossing the Mexican Border illegally. As they see it, those areas are occupied and are illegally claimed by America.

Some media anchors and pundits rave about the daily killing of innocent civilians, and the sporadic killing at colleges by disgruntled students, serial killers, and jaded lovers alike.

This kind of revenge killing, or rage is a normal feature of American culture. That is why so many Americans fear that some day this so-called right to kill will be taklen away from them!

Football Is About Scoring Goals!

http://mimbari.livejournal.com/

June 27-2010:

Football Is About Scoring Goals!

The USA's Devastating Loss:

The USA played against Ghana on June 26-2010 in South Africa. This is the second time that The USA was defeated by Ghana in a World Cup match. And the media Pundits and USA players are all crying out loud that they should not have been defeated by a state with the size of Oregon, and with a small population.

Now what does this have to do with the US loss to these African Titans?

* Firstly, the Ghanians played a very creative, disciplined, defensive, and offensive game. The total package was their forte.

* The Ghanians are fitter, can outlast the US players anytime with longevity on the field. And does not tire easily.

* And almost every Ghanian player can score a goal.

* The US players on the other hand are more offensive with their game strategy, and seem not to too keen on playing defensively. Until they find themselves in serious trouble. Then they expect ONE player (Donavan) to score a goal.

Until the US soccer team can acquire GOAL scorers, and Strikers that can guarantee an early goal in any game. The US will find themselves always having to defend everytime.

However, it was a very good match between these two teams. But the Ghanians had more reason to be victorious, because they were the only African team left standing, and they STOOD UP indeed at the final hour for Africa.

Was SPAIN Having A Bad Day At The Games Today?

Was SPAIN Having A Bad Day At The Games Today?


Spain versus Switzerland at the World Cup in South Africa:

Spain came into this first round with the reputation of a favorite. And with a record of several world cup victories already. They played professionally, passed the ball around to each other, used every opportunity that was provided them, but did not score a single goal.

Was it because of the very tight defense the Swiss was giving them? Or was it too much precaution, that was so evident with all of the countries that played before them so far?

Whatever it was, Spain has a lot of Face Saving to do, in order to make their fans feel confident, that their team will perform like they always do remarkably well, and possibly take home the Africa Cup at the end.

However, that was only the first round. So we will have to wait and see how they and others like them will perform in the second round!

May the best team win!

The Advent Of The Two Legged Animals!


http://mimbari.livejournal.com/

May 24-2010:

The Advent Of The Two Legged Animals!


From The Ants' Perspective:

For centuries our ancestors lived, roamed, and built our Colonies or Ant Hills without any problems to talk about. We moved on to different locations when our queen died or gave birth. We felt that our lives would be as serene and secure as we were accustomed for centuries. When alas, we discovered by accident that they were creatures about, that we had never seen or heard of before, and these creatures walked on two legs, and upright too.

Hitherto, the creatures we knew, most had four legs, and some crawled on their stomachs, while others seem to rise up in the air on wings too. But they never did us any harm. We all survived and thrived without much concern for each other's livelihood. When some asked our Queen to explain who these new creatures that walked on two legs were, she said that it was a Bad Omen, and that it was the beginning of terrible experiences for our species. And that we must keep our eyes peeled for their movements, growth in numbers, and activities.

Tilling Our Lands:

These new two legged creatures (known today as humans), plowed the ground with very hard materials which rooted up some of our Ant Hills. Some used animal drawn carts or vehicles to move the crops they grew too, and this continued unabated for what seem like ages, by these two legged creatures, without ceasing.

Detrimental Substances:

As time passed some of our new arrivals used liquid substances on the ground, for reasons that I cannot determine, which killed several thousands of our fellow ant populations from time to time. Causing us to flee wherever we can be spared from certain death. I understand that these liquid substances are called pesticides, fungicides, and fertilizers. Which seem to help them grow much more at one time, than before they did not use any such substances.

A Rain Of Fire:

Sometimes our populations have to deal with terrible fires caused by nature, and by these accursed two legged creatures too. And thousands more of our species are killed this way. But somehow we manage to survive and continue thriving.

But if you compare what nature does to us, against what those two legged creatures do to us. I have to admit that nature kills much less of our populations than those two legged creatures do.

Can Consciousness Exist Outside The Brain?


http://mimbari.livejournal.com/

May 16-2010:

Can Consciousness Exist Outside The Brain?

Personally, I believe it does, for the following reasons:

Consciousness is that invisible element within humans that makes us aware of ourselves. We can identify ourselves as individuals within a group, mainstream society, or culture. The brain is like a computer that files away all impressions it receives via the eyes, ears, nose, mouth, or touch. All of these files are accessed automatically when we want to speak, or respond to anything, or some experience instantaneously.


This is so normal to most humans today that hardly anyone pays attention to it, unless some mental or neurological problem arises. Then we may seek professional help or advice. However, the consciousness is an invisible element. Unlike the brain which is a physical element within us. So when someone experiences 'Out Of Body Consciousness,' it is the brain having some confusion with accessing some of the files in memory storage, and have mis-interpreted some of those senses.

Therefore, what the eye sees, or does not see, and the brain interprets, or does not interpret correctly, may cause the individual to hear, see, or experience one of the above experiences, that hitherto resulted in someone being placed in a mental institution, burnt at the stake, or considered demon possessed.

Hindu Re-incarnation:

This philosophy subscribes to the view that one has to take several physical bodies in several life cycles, in order to cleanse himself/herself from all evil, or Bad Karma. And when he/she has finally done that, he/she will have attained Nirvana or Enlightenment, and will never have to take another physical body again.

This concept is just like the example 'Out Of Body Consciousness Where converts or followers, believes in this process, and will not see it as something to be feared, but something that comes with being human, or being in the process of eradicating Bad Karma.

You Cannot Legislate What People Wear In Public!

April 03-2010:

You Cannot Legislate What People Wear In Public!

Dear Senator Eric Adams (New York State):

CC: Senator Charles E. Schumer,

CC: Senator. Kirsten Gillibrand,


I understand your concern for what seem to you as lack of self respect, when you see young men wearing their trousers below the waist, showing part of their buttocks.

This style as you pointed out recently, has it's origin from the prisons. Wherein, prisoners wore their shorts in that fashion.

Albeit, for a very specific reason too!

However, when legislators or politicians arbitrarily introduce legislation to curb human behavior, (or how they wear their clothes in public). Then what will they legislate for next?

* Will it be legislation against Tight Trousers?

* Or Short Skirts?

* Or See Through Blouses?

* Or even Tight Fitting Clothes, that hugs the anatomy?

This is one suggestion/idea that I am totally against, any politician or legislator telling me how or what to wear in public.

Sincerely,

Please Go To: Congress.org

and protest this legislative idea!

THE CATHOLIC POPE & His Pedophile Brother!


http://mimbari.livejournal.com/

March 13-2010:

THE CATHOLIC POPE & His Pedophile Brother!

Is an institution of BUGGERY. Not the place any decent person wants his/her child to associate with.

The current Pope was a bishop in Munich-Germany, who knew or heard allegations that his own brother was involved in the Buggering of Altar Boys in his diocese, and he said or did nothing about it.

That was the norm in most countries where the Catholic Church has it's tentacles in. They had Church Schools that allowed the flogging of students at will, as part of the daily corporal punishments allowed in most Catholic Schools, and Public Schools for decades.

I too was one of those children who experienced severe beating from Nuns and Teachers in the Public/Catholic school that I attended.

These hypocrites threaten the flock with PURGATORY and PERDITION if they refused to read the Catechism (or the Church Bible), and influence the Educational Curriculum and Outcomes in most schools, associated with the Catholic Church.

Even the political administration of the state was subtly coerced into allowing them to operate as they see fitting. That is why it took so many decades for these revelations of child pedophilia in the churches to go public.

For several decades the Catholic and other Churches hid behind the Social Taboos associated with Homosexuality, and allowed their own Sexual Predators to continue Buggering The Altar Boys, Choir Boys, and Scouts, with impunity.

Call these Monsters Out Every time You Hear Of This Brutality And Unsavory Acts to Young People!

Are Pre-Nuptial Arrangements Necessary For All Long Term Relationships!


http://mimbari.livejournal.com/

February 23-2010:

Are Pre-Nuptial Arrangements Necessary
For All Long Term Relationships!

Historically in most cultures, the male was responsible for providing of the means/money for his family. Be it a Legal, or Common Law arrangement. The concept of any pre-arrangement is unheard of and unacceptable in most societies. However, in the USA, this arrangement seem to be the expectation for most individuals contemplating marriage. And of late, even Common Law and Shacking Up relationships are being included in this package.

Personal Security Guarantees:

Some people feel that if no prenuptial is made, if one individual loses his/her lease, job, health, or becomes disabled for a lengthy period. The expenses of that relationship rests upon the other party to foot the bill. And this strain can be devastating for most individuals, most of whom may not have the wherewithal or financial resources to meet those demands.

Furthermore, in the case of the death of a partner, loss of the apartment or home of one individual. And the relatives may want you to leave that apartment or face eviction. Then a prenuptial will cater for that eventuality too.

Even visitation rights for any individual in a relationship on a long term basis is appropriate, to ensure that the other party could visit his/her partner in hospital, and be a party to the decisions for funeral arrangements, should that be necessary too.

Bequeaths and Inheritance Rights:

This is another scenario where one or both parties have wealth or some inheritance, and would like to ensure that it is not squandered, stolen, withdrawn, or embezzled from the other party's bank account, without prior notice or approval. Especially if you have a Joint Bank Account.

Are Pre-nuptials The Best Way Forward In Any Relationship?

I believe that anyone who seriously want to embark upon any long term relationship or arrangement. Be it legal marriage or Common Law arrangement. He/she aught to consider this prior to making that decision. Discuss the Pros and Cons of this arrangement with your intended. And get their take and concerns about it. If he/she does not approve of that approach, do not press the issue any further.

And if you are resolute in demanding a pre-prenuptial from your partner before any long term arrangement, and he/she rejects it.

That is the time to go your separate ways!

Tiger Wood's Whores Want Their Pound Of Flesh:

I do not condone what Tiger Woods did to his family. But I also do not make his personal life my business either. However, he made a public apology for his past misdeeds, and it should be taken as a sincere apology, and a testament of his embarrassment and regret.

Those whores who shared his bed knew fully well what they were doing, who he is, and what they wanted from him. So if some of them felt that he fooled, or made them feel special. That was their own mirage and foolishness.

They are all adults, and adults who indulge in Tipping, aught to consider what they are doing before embarking on that course.

Tiger Woods owes them nothing. I am sure that they were paid handsomely for their services too!

So GET A LIFE WHORES, and leave Tiger Woods to his family, and the reconciliation that is so essential for the survival of his marriage.

Could Governments Legislate Against Racism?



http://mimbari.livejournal.com/

February 6-2010:

TO: riz@aljazeera.net

insidestory@aljazeera.net,


Could Governments Legislate Against Racism?

This question was asked by many before. And I heard it being asked again on your show today on aljazeera TV.

So here are some of my views on this issue.

* Racists or those who deliberately discriminate against those whom they perceive, are not their kind or preferred ilk, are in every culture.

* Ethnic or Racial Profiling against others are done by almost every individual, organization, and institution, in every culture.

* Some do it openly, while others do it covertly.

* Most developed societies in the western hemisphere have some form of legislation to prohibit racism, or racial/ethnic discrimination, in the official institutions of government.

* But legislating against racism is only one step any state can provide to help curb this social stigma.

What it has to ensure is that the educational institutions also educate their student body against this social stigma too.

However, if it is not ethnic or racial profiling that is the problem. It is religion that is used against others for separation or division within most societies globally.
