Well .... I dont know about ...Good Morning Mr.Tim!<br /><br />Well .... I dont know about "meek" inheriting earth .... well at least they never did yet. But I do know that many of us are sick and tired of supporting the undeserving "weak". Something I pointe dout time and again in posting's concerning who we look at as "elite", or folk's that are worthy of leading anything more than a rat cesspool. It is those toward's the bottom of the food chain what I am saying that are the "doer's" and "achiever's", the one's who make this great machine "happen" and "function", I never considered someone that simply manipulate's another's money as being "elite", such as that soldier in battle, or that assembly line foreman that does his all to make sure that car come's off the line as goos as it get's, or those engineer's that bust ass to make sure we have the best technologies, science and quality of living .... I could go on and on .... about these so called "elite" or "cream of the crop" who dont contribute a goddamn thing to earth of humanity but manipulation and lies. What the fuck do they do? Maybe our military would do better than them running the show...heh?<br /><br />Later Tim .........Ranch Chimphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14086251248546955720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7010628715012863388.post-39151890230287796872010-03-03T20:16:16.030-06:002010-03-03T20:16:16.030-06:00RC

I think the root problem is these guys slide downhill and just can't climb back up. <br /><br />The best programs for these guys are ran by former homeless. There is a shelter like that in Denver. The manager a former homeless man, is a real "tough love" kinda person. No drugs, no booze, dress right and go out job hunting. He has a high success rate.<br /><br />That is what these people really need. A true second chance at life and someone who believes in them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7010628715012863388.post-2432319308034984192010-03-03T02:07:03.539-06:002010-03-03T02:07:03.539-06:00BTW Mr. Silverfiddle, I love Johnny "Man in B...BTW Mr. Silverfiddle, I love Johnny "Man in Black" Cash too! :)Ranch Chimphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14086251248546955720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7010628715012863388.post-84452301184178450862010-03-03T01:58:11.877-06:002010-03-03T01:58:11.877-06:00Good Morning(or evening) Mr.Silverfiddle!
My hour...Good Morning(or evening) Mr.Silverfiddle!<br /><br />My hour's of work/ play are kind of weird, but just like anyone else, I do get adequate sleep.<br /><br />You hit the nail on the head as far as "funding", for me, our funding priorities are really fucked up. We have so many in this country getting a free f'n ride, not just wealthy people, but folk's who are supposedly "poor", who are milking government funding .... oh yes ... this is going on more than folk's think. Yet those who really "need" assistance and trying to do what is supposedly called the "right" thing, are being ignored .... that's the reality! <br /><br />The two gent's I mentioned about being turned down for a bunk for the night are actually vet's ( yes, they both have had drug/ alcohol problem's at time's, they also had wives at a time too, and lost them too, and other problem's that led to alcohol) the guy's that I got them day work with for instance who had small businesses were also Vet's like you, one done over 20 year's Army, the other over 8 year's Marine Corp. I know as well another fella like you .... no combat, over 20 year's, got his college in there, spent several year's in Germany I know (Stewart Frost) get's his lil ole retirement benefit's, has a job in management, etc .... so he is doing fine. My family member's done fine .... however my whole problem is that there are thousand's that line the street's of our nation that dont. My thing Mr.SF is this .... there should be shelter resources specifically for those in emergency need of them in every major city across the nation. With the money this country spend's and generate's, I see no reason for not funding this, period. Whether they done combat or not ... the bottom line is they "served" the nation and put themselves in a position to where "if" they were needed to pull such duties as combat, they were available. These should be just basic institution's, just like school's, specifically for them. I alway's hear the whining about cost .... some of the cost's this country shell's out to some is ridiculous! We just blew million's to crash a goddamn rocket into the goddamn mooon to find 25/ 50 gallon's of frozen water, what the fuck good is that going to do? They say to see if we can have people stationed on the moon! Why the fuck would we?! By the time we are ready to station folk's on the moon if we do, and I dont see any reason to, it can be done all with robotic's as Mr. Infidel pointed out once as far as space or planetary research .... but by that time our tech's will be far more advanced than what we have now ... it's a dumb "milking" project is what I am saying. The list of the "dumb" project's in this nation is ridiculous, and we fund them like there is no tomorrow. That's my opinion, I'll shut the Hell up now.<br /><br />Thank You for your input Sir!Ranch Chimphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14086251248546955720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7010628715012863388.post-10476496674514362842010-03-02T21:52:27.903-06:002010-03-02T21:52:27.903-06:00It is indeed a sad day when veterans are living on...It is indeed a sad day when veterans are living on the street. The VA is government health care. They do the best they can, but they are underfunded.<br /><br />Also, it is unfortunate, but there are homeless who have never served but claim they did (we call them perps). Regardless, the first step is to get them off the streets and cleaned up. Many have drug and alcohol problems.<br /><br />I am fortunate. I was able to get a college degree before I got out (it only took me 20 years. Like Johnny Cash, I got it one piece at a time)<br /><br />Also, I was not a combat troop, so I bear none of the physical and emotional scars those true heroes do, other than some tinnitus and back and neck injuries from an accident.<br /><br />We should all thank God for whatever we've got. Life is fragile and there are no free rides.<br /><br />Good post sir!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
