Happy and Sad - Thoughts from Ordinary Joe
They say it's a thin line between being happy and sad, between love and hate, when do we see the line, when are we truly anything. If you were given, earned or even found a million dollars what would you do, pay off your house, buy a house or stick it under your mattress or do something dumb like put it in the bank? Is it a new car you want, a dress, a pair of pants, a new suit? What is the definition of happiness or sadness, I don't know. What would you like to do, what if the world really comes to an end at the later part of 2012 and there were people who survived and they knew you personally, how do you think they would remember you, further more how do you want to be remembered?
Spirit of Fear -Thoughts from Ordinary Joe
The whole country and some may even say the whole world is living in the spirit of fear. All I hear is me, me, me, personally I believe that's where the fear emanates from me, me, me! If we all only think of "me" how can we possibly accomplish anything that will be meaningful and long lasting. What would you know if nobody was willing to give to impart skill and provide some knowledge, if no one cared where would we be as a people, humans, the human race. Cause and effect, I'm pleased to see some commercials that don't just elude to the kindness of caring spirits it comes right and shows how it can and should be.
What is fiscally conservative? - Thoughts from Ordinary Joe
What in creation is fiscally conservative and left wing other than a power struggle with the chattel in the middle. When you don't eat somebody gets paid. When you don't have any clothes on your back or shoes on your feet somebody gets paid. So the question can be who gets paid? The answer is they all get paid on all sides of the question up, down, left, right. Everybody in American should be required to take several classes in politics like it or not understand or not life is just one big political arena. I remember I once told my father (proclaiming really) "I am not a politician" and it was and it is, true I am beholding to no one.

Armed Intervention in States' Sovereignty
The UN Charter seeks to establish the The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) as the supreme body for the regulation of international peace and security with what seems to appear as the sole right to authorize armed intervention. There are limitations on the right to sanction intervention. 'Domestic' matters are not subject to its jurisdiction. It only has power if there exists a 'threat to the peace, breach of the peace or act of aggression'. However, the ambiguities in the meaning of these terms have meant that, in practice, the Security Council has determined the extent of its power. Each time intervention was mandated, the UNSC resolution has recited an alleged threat to international peace -thereby asserting the existence of a fact which gives rise to its jurisdiction.
