Today's Tids Issue 2,981
Opening Stuff:
"I wanted a perfect ending. Now I've learned, the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next." Gilda Radnor.
There may be a new form of profiling on the horizon, and one which will arise from a sense of rational vigilance. Many should understand that crossing the street when approaching meandering black teen groups is just intelligent caution considering the advent of the violent, uncivilized "Knockout Game" which you have probably heard is the the new fun-packed activity of the young and angry. It's the latest form of lawlessness caught in the web of political correctness where leaders to this point resisted condemning an inhuman treatment of innocents, fearing that outrage may cross some forbidden boarder in the eternal national discussion on race. The fact remains that peope are being severely injured and being cautious is just common sense.
While we were reveling over the weekend, we passed another anniversary of one the most horrendous events in the history of mankind-- the sneak attack on Americans in Pearl Harbor. I always take time to pause the Tids to remember heroic Americans beset upon by savage aggressors while they slept . To know that a quiet Sunday morning may not be as it seems. That at an given moment everything that has always been certain may be different in an instant.
I'll be honest...I was rooting against Ohio State. I would always root against a team which inserts the word "The" with a capital "T" before its name. I also love the idea of upsetting the applecart, or is it apple seedings, that sends BCS operatives scrambling. I just invision these little legs attached to frantic bodies running around the halls of the NCAA, screeching, wondering how certainty could have slipped from their grasp. The manic game in glass towers kind of takes away something for the game on the field, but it's what money does to reality.
You know what NCAA stands for, don't you -- No Classes At All.
The Question:
What 10 countries do you think are best prepared to handle an uncertain future; to safe guard the needs of their future generations?
The Headlines:

--China Economy Expected To Accelerate In 2014, After Ceding Some Dominance Back To US In 2013.

Most of the popular alternative energy sources are pretty inefficient producers of electriciity. Most who look for the best alternatives would suggest that nuclear remains the most effective producer, except for the problem of waste removal -- now made even more difficult by the Admin. Enter the "Thorium Molton Salt Reactor". Say what? Simplified in layman's terms, this is a systems that eats it's waste while producing clean cost effective power ala Nuclear. It doesn't have the romance of sun warming glass panals or winds moving vanes on grassy plains or rolling seas. China seems to be earnestly developing this alternative to uranium based power (Which has been around since 1954). Also, within the past year or so a couple of US companies have formed to develop this power source that inexpensive and most important, safe.
The Pope just came out against "Capitalism" decrying the wealth of the rich versus the plight of the poor. He was seconded by the man in the White House. All could be reasonable if in fact we still had capitalism. Howvever the machinations of this economic system, where the key word in the definition is "Private", has been watered down by the itrusions of Big governments -- through regulations and bailouts. Pure capitalism has built in safeguards against unrestrained risk. You lose, you lose. Through their lobbyists though, capitalists have sold their souls to the Government and lost their abiltiy ot behave realistically to market and consumer fluctuations. The proper anger should be against hybrid capitalism and the argument should be for the return of pure capitailism.
A Golf GPS manufacturer has announced a new product with "Voice"! Just what we need, more talkng on our back swings.
It bothers me when a company or some entity with less quality products wins out over another that's produces something clearly superior. Usually it is a result of marketing superiority or some kind of inexplicable lemming like fascination with popular phenomena. The latest example is Quizno's excellent product apparently dying in favor of the mundane Subway. It is not unlike up here where Dunkin Donuts forced the exit of a far better Tim Horton, or nationally, the rejection of any number of reasonable candidates in favor of an unexperienced President Obama.
Extreme wealth of a few makes it impossible to argue for restraint in a society.
If you type the title of last Friday's Tids, "Misunambiguityness". into Google, you only get one result! This means we have successfully created a never before used word to describe the verbal output of the White House. How great is that! History in the Tids and you can claim being a part of it. "Spell-Check" doesn't understand.
I think I'm a pretty logical person. But, I can't understand the logic of supermarket minds that wouold put the pre-packaged branded bread products 7-8 aisles away from their bakery! Personally I like small concise Supermarkets.
I could think of many nefarious, conspiratorial reasons for the US Pentagon awarding the contract for $1 Billion worth of helicopters (we are giving to Afghanistan) to Russia for its Mi 17...instead of the Pennsylvania built Boeing Chinook. A pentagon report says that the Mi 17 was better, but another reading of the report clearly states that ain't so, that the Chinook was at least as good if not superior. Is this the type of cooperation The Prez was promising in his off the the cuff, but mike remark, "Wait til after the elcetion"? or is it just some pentagon people trying to make a few bucks on the side. Whatever it is, it isn't good. Note: Dems and Repubs in Congress are equally Irate, not only becasue of the ruse, but because they tried to hoodwink Congressional overseers. Stay tuned. This could be a doozy.
The beat goes on at 1600 Pennsylvania as Phil Schiliro returns to the scene of his infamy. You don't know Phil? He was the chief WH operative who pushed the abominable Affordable Care Act through Congress. You remember that 2600 page behemoth that nobody read and only a handful of people understood. Yes he is back and this time to help implement a better understanding of the indecipherable mess he helped to create. But that's Government is, isn't it -- Get paid to create a mess and then get paid a again to clean it up. The only cleanser for this one is Spelled R-e-p-e-a-l.

The Conscience: Chapter 30:
Note: It's time to get this exciting novel rolling again. It's time to start moving to the finish, that is if you can remeber the beginning. As you may remember the last installment had Jeff and Angelica talking about her mystery mother, and she the daughter was as curious as outsider Jeff Morgan. This chapter brings back the two characters who placed the bomb in the Bernard Shipyard.
"God Chuck, it's eerie in here." Joe Binangio and Chuck Walsh sat in a dark back room of a bar, with somekind of Italian jazz drifting in from the hip bar up front. "Waddaya think she wants now.?"
"You never know with this broad. But, I like lookin' at her and she pays well. Who knows, maybe she'll give me a personal bonus."
"Stop dreamin'." They both started to laugh, but stopped quickly as a scowling Bruno followed a severe Sanna emerged before them.
"Where'd you guys come from," Chuck said quickly giving Sanna slow scan." She watched him and appeared to be enjoying it. Joe was shaking Bruno's hand, two thugs appreciating each other.
Sanna sat quickly, her skirt moving aside giving Chuck a little bonus view. "Thanks for coming over to our city, boys." She moved her thighs to keep Chuck interested. "It looks like you did nice job down in Florida. Enough damage, enough evidence to make it look like any number of possible attackers to keep Bernard and my Father-in-Law guessing."
The boys nodded. They knew to say nothing when the queen was talking, and they didn't have anything to say anyhow. Chuck was just happy to look and listen. "I have another problem. James Smith".
The two looked at each other. "Who's James Smith?" they said acapella. "Sounds like an alias."

Bach captured feelings like no other composer. In his "Air on a G String" below, I seem to be feeling the horror of the aftermath of Pearl Harbor, a solemn time to remember innocents and monsters.
