So much we learn these days comes from...



…an unbiased media; sure I can hear you all saying.

And yet we are told that there are truthful news networks and those who nearly manufacture their idea of what we all should know.

But still, here in America we have always felt we had a choice to pick and chose whom we wanted to disseminate all important information from for our own continuous ability to have a window on the world and to keep up with basically what is happening in it.



Recent events has caused our freedoms of choice, voice and ability to think and act freely to be held in check with a nasty fear of physical harm threatened by these cyber hackers who felt that what we in some ways thought might be humorous was not at all funny to their mind set.

And when put into perspective I too, with minimum knowledge I really hate to weigh in on all this but, I’ll say under advisement of lack of fully seeing the movie the Interview that the insult may be correct with their feelings justified.

No matter how nasty a family member may be to his or her family most would protect them till the end.

And as with a country and its leader as much as we as a nation might disagree with our own leaders past and present we too might find it not so funny if some one even in jest suggested to ‘kill’ them. Emails, letters phone calls and what-not have been sent to all our alphabet soup agencies , CIA< FBI< Homeland Security etc… what have you when a threat has come into our land whether in writing or in whatever form these idiots come up with these days…

What I am saying is that they, North Korea, had the right to be upset and not at all happy with the concept of the movie, but in my opinion they went a wee bit overboard in how they handled it. Uh oh, now don’t be angry with me folks I am not in the movie industry and they did not pull the release of the movies the theaters all chose not show it due to the physical threats to them and their patrons, now who wouldn’t with that possibility, really?

In my opinion that is worth not-a-thing the theaters acted appropriately under these unique and frightful circumstances.


As far as our freedom of speech goes; we all must remember that in sighting to riot by what we do or say is negated in that part of the
“The Courts have always agreed that not all speech was protected. The following list includes some of the most common types of speech that are not protected:

1.    Defamation (meaning slander and libel)

2.    Threatening or fighting words

3.    Treason

4.    Obscenity

5.    Lying in court (perjury)

6.    Profanity

7.    Speech containing copyright infringements

8.    Sedition

9.    Trade secrets

10.                       Words that promote lawless activity

11.                       Words that cause contempt of court”






See we as a people forget what we had been taught and when we get into the ‘arts’ we take poetic license to do as we think is acceptable.

But as this has proven to all of us Americans proud and unabashed with our beliefs that we have the right to say as we please we must know now that in the world arena this is not going to continue forever with so many others with their beliefs of what is or isn’t right, got it?

Sure here at home we can get away with so much more than the rest of world but Gosh we were just harshly spanked by the questionable neighbor down the street and across the ponds!



Sure it was wrong in our home for them to say hurtful things to mom or dad or their siblings and then they would be told, uh, uh in no uncertain terms!



Authors note: *Please realize the opinions I express here come from me, a not too smart person so do not put too much stock in them, please and thank you.



Moving on…



Just received the delivery of my medication my Copaxone injections that are sent in a cooler in ice packs and have to be signed for since it is injectable medication; our neighbor said it was delivered to his home at three this afternoon, just dropped shipped while he was out



I contacted our local UPS and let them know what had happened and said that this is the first time it happened with my medication but many other things from computers to furniture has been sent to either them or us with the same house number over these last sixteen years that we have lived in this particular home, and our street names both start with the same letter as well. I suppose if you are shuffling the packages too quickly it is an easy mistake?

But not to have a signature when it says right on the carton?

Any-who, I found a sympathetic ear and Robin at our local UPS, said she would handle it and let the fellow know that it is medication that should be handled better than the way that he did.



On that note of Geez I didn’t want him to get into too much trouble and she said that he wouldn’t just be told the proper way to handle it, allow me to be the very first to wish all of you a very happy good night and ask all of you to kindly count all you blessings and share all your overages with you know who and we will too!



And next time please be here or be square, ya hear!



Tomorrow night perhaps I will weigh in on Cuba…?
