With little convincing needed from the staff of a local campaign office, I volunteered to become involved in the door to door get out to vote effort of the Romney For President campaign. <p> <p> <p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjg6pxK3dE2cGRbi5tsmHliu7vnglHMZVu2-CHfvCXkyKDBy9F8GH_SXjLdfAi5m38Rs9LKDkIojo7Fa7M26QutAj3-qtJnMUz5YXWA4j47a4S8FOIGJ88HPDnW4_Gdcm1EpoV8FXxF8sXC/s1600-h/romneyryanfundraising1%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; float: left; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="romneyryanfundraising1" border="0" alt="romneyryanfundraising1" align="left" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-dOKsCyJcOgA/UJGpf3-75JI/AAAAAAAALOg/fFNPJlaXhVY/romneyryanfundraising1_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="244" height="167"></a>While I would be more than happy to share my view with anyone regarding my support for Romney, my involvement at this point is to try and get more citizens involved in the process. I think this is going to be a close election and both sides have to get their supporters out to vote. <p> <p> <p>With early voting coming to a close this Saturday, I encourage you to get out and vote wherever you live and let your voice be heard. <p>If you are willing to share a beer and keep your blood pressure below 120/80, I would be more than willing to try and convince you why you should vote for my guys.

For me this seemed unfair or even a bit cruel because I think we had a mutual affection and respect for each other. “Patchy” will forever be a part of my life and I have a scar on my upper lip to prove it. <p> <p><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: 0px" title="Old Yeller" border="0" alt="Old Yeller" align="left" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNuIMLrvOzhu_Mq-FQwDWrX-bI-hW_9QkSknawT6FGahCJdTia4r39u5TyPiA1v9tjqHdYJfvbercXi83EZPeY_9JgeMBtmXbnvd9ROBFDvLDRomkWhRD85J7gE1HMMbKgd0MMIq8hBoaB/?imgmax=800" width="107" height="101"> Probably from the beginning of time dogs have been a part of our lives in one affectionate way or another. It is partly the reason the likes of Lassie, Benji and Old Yeller have been so popular across so many generations.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_eNrpJ63Ynzc/TOqSG9dANJI/AAAAAAAAEpI/hCu2RYm2Bds/s1600-h/Michael%20Vick%5B6%5D.jpg"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: 0px" title="Michael Vick" border="0" alt="Michael Vick" align="right" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_eNrpJ63Ynzc/TOqSHYi7X9I/AAAAAAAAEpM/TvsUSKPUgRs/Michael%20Vick_thumb%5B4%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="202" height="206"></a></p> <p>Therefore, it is understandable the outrage one feels when we are made aware of the cruelty some like Michael Vick have done to our “Best Friends.”</p> <p>It is unfortunate in some circumstances that cruelty to animals especially for entertainment and gambling purposes are a part of some groups cultural up bringing. <p> <p> <p>Apparently and in my opinion regrettably Michael Vick was a part of this type of a group. Although disappointed in his actions I have always felt his punishment did not fit the crime. <p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_eNrpJ63Ynzc/TOqSH5rBRuI/AAAAAAAAEpQ/lojencQQ1Z0/s1600-h/QB%20Vick%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: 0px" title="QB Vick" border="0" alt="QB Vick" align="left" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_eNrpJ63Ynzc/TOqSIR97uaI/AAAAAAAAEpU/ZgLibRGe3Xo/QB%20Vick_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="177" height="244"></a> Today, Michael Vick as a Philadelphia Eagle is again in the news and should be rightfully so. Any NFL quarter back that can put up 6 touchdowns on the road deserves to be in the spotlight.</p> <p>While much attention is being given to his on the field success, I think the bigger story here is his apparent personal accomplishments off the field.</p> <p> <p> <p> <p> <p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_eNrpJ63Ynzc/TOqSJMRvPUI/AAAAAAAAEpY/7GHOLOfgpkA/s1600-h/Tony%20Dungy%5B4%5D.jpg"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: 0px" title="Tony Dungy" border="0" alt="Tony Dungy" align="right" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_eNrpJ63Ynzc/TOqSJxLPE5I/AAAAAAAAEpc/HzgEh8mwFII/Tony%20Dungy_thumb%5B2%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="166" height="244"></a>Michael Vick is a rehabilitation success story and should serve as a role model to others that have found themselves in similar situations. <p>Plaxico Burress, Pac-Man Jones and others should take notice. <p>I am sure having a supportive network like former NFL coach Tony Dungy, family and real friends are all a part of Vick's success. Without a doubt those in similar situation must also make good choices like Michael seems to have done. <p> <p> <p>Vick’s story shows the power of forgiveness, real friends and taking advantage of opportunities to make one’s life better.

As a “liberal” public entity and one that claims to be an open forum. What a disgrace.</p> <p> <p> <p>On the Bill O'Reilly show Juan stated the following: <p><a name="KonaLink2"></a>"I mean, look, Bill, I'm not a bigot," Williams continued. "You know the kind of books I've written about the civil rights movement in this country. But when I get on the plane, I got to tell you, if I see people who are in Muslim garb and I think, you know, they are identifying themselves first and foremost as Muslims, I get worried. I get nervous." <p>I believe Mr. Williams expressed what most passengers would feel in a similar situation. Call it what you want but the reality is that we all prejudge situations and people we face everyday. <p>If you see someone with a prison tattoo approaching you, you would be foolish not to put your guard up. Yes, he or she maybe harmless but you have no way of knowing until you assess behavior. <p> <p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_eNrpJ63Ynzc/TMCDbipeFKI/AAAAAAAAEgI/mI_CxbSPIVk/s1600-h/9-11%20Attack%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: 0px" title="9-11 Attack" border="0" alt="9-11 Attack" align="right" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_eNrpJ63Ynzc/TMCDcUoJ9RI/AAAAAAAAEgM/cF46N2gWsq4/9-11%20Attack_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="168" height="244"></a> Working in the aviation industry we are taught to assess (political correctness) our customers as a part of the security process using an 85/15 rule. The basic premise being that 85% of passengers are no threat.</p> <p>As a professional, I do not necessarily become worried and nervous because a part of my assessment is tied into behavior patterns.</p> <p>Of course most passengers do not have this same type of training and if they became worried or nervous it would not surprise or offend me.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_eNrpJ63Ynzc/TMCDdDmGbTI/AAAAAAAAEgQ/F921GEuD8dU/s1600-h/Barney%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: 0px" title="Barney" border="0" alt="Barney" align="left" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_eNrpJ63Ynzc/TMCDdjhpJpI/AAAAAAAAEgU/AEgLsgWuUeU/Barney_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="227" height="244"></a> If airplanes were being hijacked and used as weapons by purple dinosaurs then they would fall in the 15% range.</p> <p>For other passengers It would be foolish not to be nervous or worried if you boarded a plane with a few purple dinosaurs on board. </p> <p>I bet most that criticize Juan Williams remarks would feel the same if they walked into a similar situation.</p> <p> </p> <p>Juan's crime, speaking the truth.</p> <p>Is part of the problem here that we are afraid to offend those that have done or intend to do us harm? Those cowards that disgrace a faith. If Muslims in general spoke out against those that misrepresent their faith then maybe we can all get beyond our “Muslim Dilemma”. <p>The rights of free speech should never be trampled for the sake of political correctness. NPR’s action are that of a coward and shows that NPR lacks any credibility as an open minded public forum. <p>If the truth and free speech cannot be defended then our enemies may have already won. Shame on you NPR! <p> </p> <div style="padding-bottom: 0px; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; float: none; padding-top: 0px" id="scid:0767317B-992E-4b12-91E0-4F059A8CECA8:08f7d0a3-93c6-4689-8d4f-eb2ee96b22d0" class="wlWriterSmartContent">Technorati Tags: <a href="http://technorati.com/tags/Juan+Williams" rel="tag">Juan Williams</a>,<a href="http://technorati.com/tags/The+O'Reilly+Show" rel="tag">The O'Reilly Show</a>,<a href="http://technorati.com/tags/Bill+O'Reilly" rel="tag">Bill O'Reilly</a>,<a href="http://technorati.com/tags/NPR" rel="tag">NPR</a>,<a href="http://technorati.com/tags/Muslim+Dilemma" rel="tag">Muslim Dilemma</a>,<a href="http://technorati.com/tags/Muslims" rel="tag">Muslims</a>,<a href="http://technorati.com/tags/National+Public+Radio" rel="tag">National Public Radio</a></div> DMBTravelerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12504495937218727589noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4435040073772724557.post-83852402237642994912010-10-19T00:51:00.001-07:002010-10-19T00:51:30.211-07:00Managing The Forest<p> </p> <p>Often American companies are taken to task for lack of corporate responsibility and citizenship.

Furthermore, increasing the top income tax rate could hurt small businesses that contribute a great deal to the economy. These businesses create JOBS, Mr. President and they are primarily owned by hard working, risk taking wealthy Americans. <p>Maybe the time has come to cut government spending especially in the “Government Hand Out” department. By playing the class war card, Democrats win favor with those who are not willing to work hard, take risk or personal responsibility. <p>However, I am convinced they will lose in November.
