To be honest, I am sick of our society putting people in charge of businesses and our Government to replace the very people they have learned how to be ”successful” from the  most corrupt, greedy, and discriminatory people.  I am not so much frustrated with the fact that these people are this way, no matter what anyone says MONEY and POWER will rule the United States, it doesn’t matter who leads the country. 

I know there are ways to fix these issues, but who would want to listen to people like me that want a BETTER country for our children?  No one, not one single politician or business leader.  Who would want to replace corruption with someone that has not been in that position and believes in honesty, integrity and accountability?  Take a look around, every product you buy, every television show you watch, every news article you read, every person that cuts in front of you in traffic or in line, and every young child that screams and begs a parent to give them what they want and the parent gives in to them because they don’t have the time or they don’t care enough to show their child they right way, this is what has become normal.

So once again, who am I to judge?  I am only a person that believes in accountability, understanding, integrity, and honesty, the very type of person that big business does NOT want around as things may have to change and people may have be accountable.

I wonder when people in this world are going to start paying attention and quit believing everything they are told?

Comment: Does anyone have a summer memory where they met someone who came into their town just for the summer, if so you can totally relate to this.  This is about the sadness that starts as summer goes away, and in Minnesota where I live, it’s not only about the people leaving as it is about the fall and cold of winter coming.
But I can see you-
Your brown skin shinin’ in the sun
You got your hair combed back and your sunglasses on, baby
And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone

Comment:  This is an interesting add to this song as it talks about someone, to me, who the writer likes all year round but they, in the summers, look for the boys of summer.
I never will forget those nights
I wonder if it was a dream
Remember how you made me crazy?
Remember how I made you scream
Now I don’t understand what happened to our love
But babe, I’m gonna get you back
I’m gonna show you what I’m made of

Comment: What is interesting about this part of the song is the fact that the writer still wants the other person back, must be a “young love” thing. 
(Chorus)
Out on the road today, I saw a DEADHEAD sticker on a Cadillac
A little voice Inside my head said, “Don’t look back. You can never look back.”
I thought I knew what love was
What did I know?
Those days are gone forever
I should just let them go but-

Comment: Letting go for some people is difficult, for me it is just that so I can relate to this part.  I am not sure if it is more of letting go of another person or just the feeling that person gave you.
(Chorus) X2

Some highlights of this article state that “

If legislation is passed to permit drilling in areas which have previously been off limits, it will be at least 7 to 10 years before we can expect new production (Transcript 15:43). If new production is far from existing pipelines, as is often the case, new production is likely to be at least 10 years away. This long time period is required because of the many steps involved. ” According to the article.

Also, “A reasonable estimate of the timeframe for oil production in these new locations might be 2018 to 2040 if we start the process now. If we delay for say, another 20 years, the production window might be 2038 to 2060. Who is to say what the world will look like then? If we don’t start now, there is a good chance we may never be able to access oil in difficult locations.”

Do we really know how much is out there?  Not really, the article states “

According to API (Transcript 23:17), we really don’t know how much recoverable oil is available. There are some published estimates for various pieces–coastal oil, OCS-48 states oil, Alaska-offshore, Alaska-ANWR–but none of these is very big. At this point, we haven’t done any on-site research to see what is really there, using today’s equipment. We don’t know if there are some fairly good sized fields that we have overlooked. It is possible that the estimates are too high, but without looking, we really don’t know.”

Interesting, so what do we do for a short term solution?  The article suggests “

We have pipeline systems both for transporting oil to refineries and for transporting refined oil to consumers. The pipelines exist within the 48 states and Alaska. As production from existing wells diminishes, the amount of oil flowing through these pipelines will drop below their planned operating levels. Additional production from new sources will keep the pipelines operating longer, and give at least of chance of business close to normal, if not business as usual. The issue of minimum operating levels is raised in a recent EIA analysis of ANWR.”

There is much more information in this article so I would suggest taking a closer look at it.  It sounds as though this will solve the long term issues, but will not ease the short term tension.

 Final Comment:  All I can say is that this songs reminds me to relax, enjoy what I have, and keep looking at being myself.

I just want to say that if you find something on here that you like and would like to share with others please do so.  I would love to eventually make this into a website where the truth can finally be heard, but for now, it is only in this blog.

Also, keep posting comments, or if you have an idea of what you would like me talk about or look into leave a comment and I will look into it!

Thanks!!!

It’s not the content of the article that makes me laugh, it’s the fact that someone did an analysis of the percentage of ads for a one candidate that targets the other.  I was thinking that, because of the “dirtiness” of campaign’s in the United States, it would be normal for one candidate to target the other.  I am pretty sure that I need a job that does this sort of analysis…I wonder what that person was thinking when they decided to find out this percentage?  It was probably between naps on the couch.
