Want to know why your politicians a lawyer


Image : http://www.flickr.com


Why politicians are so many qualified lawyers? Maybe because the practice of law to find so unsatisfactory, it is because the capacity that they fit properly Necessary to become a politician or possess a combination of two or are there other reasons?

I searched online a list of U.S. presidents and their professions. On Wikipedia I found such a list and counted 25 lawyers. There have been 43 U.S. presidents, but only 42 presidents have been considering re-Clevelanda consecutive term of office. In the recent contest to select candidates for both parties six six Democratic candidates were Republicans with a degree of justice, and after the next presidential election, could be another U.S. president who is a lawyer.

A study of leaders and other politicians from other countries show a preponderance of lawyers. vision of Canada Parliament of Canada website has 22 prime minister with a law degree, had a total of28th In the Caribbean, the Bahamas, Hubert Ingraham, a lawyer, David Thompson of Barbados is a lawyer, former President Fidel Castro is studying in Cuba (not sure if he practices) Law and Ralph Gonzalves of St. Vincent is a lawyer. According to the Parliamentary Library in Australia, 42% of the Australian Parliament consists of lawyers. Remember Tony Blair in England? He was a lawyer and then French President Nicolas Sarkozy. What happens?

It seems that only lawyers love leadersand / or enjoy the fruits that come with political positions. To be honest, though, to convince a politician that includes a large group of people who have the best ideas that can solve their problems and a generally you are better than the next person, just like the trail lawyer. It 's the law and in a better position to understand the laws and their application (and its potential manipulation)? And 'task of diligence by the hand and all lawyers are trained to operatesleep for a few hours and then work like crazy. These offers, negotiations, agreements and contracts and lawyers in particular lawyers in civil cases often skillful negotiator and I could go on and on.

However, outside of their qualifications and training, there are other considerations of this relationship between law and politics? How about the economy as a factor. Many lawyers enter the field as it is considered a good source of money, but what is the connection with politics? You cansee politics as a natural springboard, which may qualify or to establish contacts, to ensure a continuation, if not expand their already high profits will be. I once read on CNN that Bill Clinton earned $ 7,500,000 for tuition in 2005. If lawyers, even when they fail to return the policy to practice law with his new found contacts / potential clients in hand. Not a bad deal, and could in fact be an additional factor, namely flexibility. It is left to right to give policyLosing the previous elections law and the cycle continues.

Then there is an abundance of lawyers. It seems, given the number, which led to the beautiful words that all law studies. Yes to the legal field is oversaturated. I could not find the source itself, but I read an article claimed by Thomas C. Reeves in the history of network news, the United States in 2007, according to the American Bar Association, there were 1,148,358 lawyers while in 2000 1,066,328. DanQuayle reportedly said that the U.S. is 5% of world population and 70% of lawyers in the world. Now I do not know if these numbers can count on - do not forget that "infamous" on potatoes - but I think we can agree that condemns a lot of lawyers out there. Therefore, if you take many of us for a piece of cake, why not stop, will join the rat race and others? Become a politician and win fame, fortune and, of course, more power.

This brings me to my point of departureAbout dissatisfaction with the practice of law. Has no relevance here? I mean, if we work hard in the formulation and reformulation of fine print involved in the fight to the last cent of legal expenses, scouring the planet for our customers and make the fight against fraud in the lobby, and the company well , why not try the splendor of political life is. Wait! What exactly? If it comes to socializing with the rich and powerful speeches before television cameras rolling and yourSleeves and help fight your electoral injustice. Oh, yes, the glamorous part, but it can also mean intrigues, maneuvers, meetings with women in the Governor Hotel spray, Showing consideration for employees and face the reality that money and sponsors King.

Sounds familiar? Maybe, just maybe the lawyers have been shaped by their training and experience in their careers, have coined, has become the perfect political order.

I Know What I Wish I Could give you


Image : http://www.flickr.com


To tell the truth, the whole thing really discourages me Proposition 8 for a while '. It made me angry that so many Americans would go so out of their way just to hurt me and people like me. I like the idea that mind and I'm proud that I understand why some people disapprove of my sexual preferences. But in reality I do not know. Not really. I mean, it bothers me that they are heterosexual, and although I find the taste of the lifestyle, I will not go aheadthe road so as to not be able to make them happy. I certainly do not contribute posters hateful comments bad message to them and spend my hard earned money to ensure that they can not be together in the same way that I could significantly.

Perhaps the problem for us. We are not prepared to attack their rights as a means of enforcing our own. Perhaps begging leftover food from their buffet is not the answer. If equal protection under the law is the basis for our argument for equality,Then, perhaps, the strategy we have to do with the attacks, their rights, we do not pray, instead of for them.

You can not marry and the benefits of the Union, then get married, instead of this endless struggle, why not just start asking for their rights, there is removed, denied the union of marriage? If you must have married survivors social security benefits so that benefits are no longer given on the basis of marriage. If eachAmerican can not have, then nobody should. Perhaps trying to take away these things that marriage as an institution to make valuable and desirable, we can make them understand how important marriage really is for every American. Not only for heterosexuals.

If you intend to use religion for this campaign of hatred and prejudice, then I do not spread these views of another generation easier for them further. I do not want to be taught their religious opinions orrespected in any place or institution that support my tax dollars (especially since I pay more tax than of her as "single person). I have never voted to keep the prayer of schools or religious organizations to limit the status of tax exemption "in. But my thinking on this issue is evolving. The freedom to practice their faith freely is important, I know, but if your faith requires that persecute you, and other evil, then there must be limits.

I think I'm just tiredwaiting. Tired of trying, and hope that patients will change over time, people. We continue to emphasize the disparity that exists between us, and trying, without understanding how the change brutal and hateful as those we oppose. I doubt there will ever be. I do not think my circle of gay friends I have in them the mentality of people who seem to hate and fear us more than any other mirror.

Christmas is just around the corner, and my boyfriend of seven years and II'm still here. Together again. Still Loving each other and try to make a life and future together. I do not know what they get in this year, but I know what will be left. It will not be something I always wanted to give them a wedding ring.

The impact of Proposition 8 and its opposite


Image : http://www.flickr.com


Proposition 8 in California resulted in one of the biggest social controversies in recent times. Ignorance, gay marriage was legalized in California, eight 's, until a proposition was withdrawn initiative known as the law banning gay marriage in the state again. Many have been with the idea that a law such as marriage could be so easily given and taken back and shocked as the controversy erupted around the state and country. The decision, not leastIn fact a little more than a year after Proposition 8, was removed is unconstitutional.

The debate in California, has created an interesting dynamic, as was the social inequalities that have not been introduced since the civil rights movement in 1960. Where there had been racial minorities at the moment seems to have marginalized citizens, homosexuals. Where gay marriage banned in many countries today, in 1960, interracial marriageforbidden in many places. This gap has revealed many social tensions between heterosexual and homosexual.

Many people defend marriage for his holiness and cry that the remuneration for same-sex marriage, the sanctity of their votes to be removed. This point raises a number of levels. It is the sanctity of their possessions on, who else, that the possession of? Moreover, as homosexuals desecrate this expression of love between two people?

Finally, nois just the avoidance of homosexuals decrease their chances to participate in the highest form of love among men, but also prevents them from common-law couples have advantages. insurance plans can not be divided between those couples, if not married, or you may experience some visitation rights in hospitals. It 'just that people are denied these opportunities because of their gender?

At the end of the case that the outbreak Proposition 8 reveals anotherthe problem in America today. During the civil rights movement for decades, questions of social tensions are still at large.

Barack Obama and Racism in America


Image : http://www.flickr.com


My descriptions of Western culture to speak that we believe in democracy, women's rights, separation of church and state, and individualism. People are surprised to hear that these universal beliefs. I declare that Americans often think wrongly, its values are universal. But when I describe the West as anti-racist, really indignant. "Certainly we are very racist" comes the reply. The silence followed by my response that we have the places of the earth or less racistHistory. While Barack Hussein Obama campaign theme to enter international news, we need to set the record straight, Western countries like America leads the world in the fight against racism.

The Americans once again be overlooked too often to the world the difference. Korea is very racist. My wife is Korean. Walking, as we have had strangers stop and tell us which is a shame. At a jazz concert two years ago, rocks were thrown at us. This is their culture. Ibring this up not to think that we should condemn, or get to follow them "human rights". Bring this to say that such behavior would be outrageous to be incredible here. Even if we dare to whisper support for these ideas, we have the right to act on their fear. In our society, I am proud to write his name are some things worse than a racist.

But racism is not just attitudes. Korean, Chinese and Japanese are overtly racist laws. IfShe is not the category of competition law can only be a citizen of these countries, unless the marriage with one of them. If you marry someone, right off the line and wait a couple of years, you may receive citizenship in Asia. But even then, the "mixed blood" children would not be allowed in the army, They may be excluded from public school and have many jobs and private, it is impossible to reach for them. This is not to condemn, this is the way to anchor their identity. OurIdea that should not be discriminated against on the basis of race is noble, but it is only ours. However, we are very proud that our laws, unlike those in other countries actually prohibit racism.

Until the United States and much of our history, most of the identity of the nation based on race. German was not only a kind of citizenship, was a race. Japan is a racist term. I can tell you what looks like a Filipino. But I can not tell you what it looks like an American. Usare the exception to the rule that no race. The traditional Indian caste system is largely based on color. And in countries like those in Latin America, insofar as it is, mobility is reduced significantly by race here. Western nations are pioneers in the concept of race-blind society.

I'm boasting. Yes I am. But this is necessary. While racial discrimination is illegal here, while affirmative action programs for minorities, whileWe also have an African-American candidate for office, feels that America is a very racist country. This depends on our respect to some unattainable ideal for us and not from the outside world. While Barack Hussein Obama for president and the race always discussed, it is important to note that it is running. Besides being a good candidate for our national leaders is remarkable. Who has this pride need us, would face aobjective comparison. The world sees our elections, is for us to boast that America is less racist people on earth is important. This fact should be proud to see the description of the West.

What is like living in Scottsdale, Arizona?


Image : http://www.flickr.com


I moved to Scottsdale in August 1976. So, someone calls me a native. But for those of you who have never heard or Scottsdale, let me tell you why it is so famous. It 'was the winter residence of Frank Lloyd Wright built Taliesin West as his retirement. It 'been a favorite of local and Charles Wrigley. More recently, the home of Mike Tyson, Michael Jordan, Charles Barkley, and Muhammad Ali, all the houses nearby. Robert Kiyosaki (Rich Dad, Poor Dad) and Go Daddy (domain providers) aretheir activities here. It 's the path for the TPC golf course, a favorite of the Pro Tour We are the Spring Training home of the San Francisco Giants and Chicago Cubs host the neighboring towns, with more than half of the teams of Major League Baseball. The next year, near Glendale is known as a small event like the Superbowl. Furthermore, we believe that Barrett-Jackson auction of vintage cars for years.

We Phoenix border in the west, south Tempe and Mesa to the east. The population isOver 250,000 and our income is about $ 20,000 above the national average. We Scottsdale Community College Artichokes when the Fightin '(no joke) and a private airport.

But our time is leading to new arrivals. Phoenix summers are playing in a cool 105-110 degrees from June to September notorious. But the rest of the year may be in the 60 and 80 are of very low humidity. Almost never snows or frosts. Everything and the place is well airconditioned to offset the scorching temperatures. We are a desert rain is so rare. We average less than seven centimeters per year and most days are sunny and cloud-free. The only pollution comes from neighboring cities and drag one of our traffic on two highways. We have some nice malls with high-end designer shops and malls normal Wal-Mart. But what distinguishes us from many other cities, our environment.

As I said, there have been built on a desert, moreIn particular, the Sonoran Desert. So we have a spectacular view of the mountains and arroyos, cactus and tall Saguaros. There are palm trees of various sizes that can reach 50 meters in height. Many houses use xeroscaping grass and plants not native to exclude. Rockscaped yards are common. Another common feature is the ranch style home built on one floor. Many have to fight terracotta roofs and stucco exterior of the sun. There are also plenty of above ground pools. It is not aLuxury. Most homes have central air conditioning and ceiling fan. Floors are a common sight in every price category, composed of many Mexican tiles. citrus trees, orange lemon and grapefruit, growing everywhere. Unfortunately, to do scorpions, rattlesnakes and black widows. We are home to Gila monsters and other smaller lizards. Add in the Road Runners and you have the coyotes and wild image.

So why did I so much like Scottsdale? Well, it's very different from Red Bank, New Jerseywhere I grew up. I enjoy sunny days on the western landscape, the lack of crowd and relaxed lifestyle. A little 'harmonics California without the beach, although I can continue to Rocky Point and was on a Mexican beach in 4.5 hours or San Diego in six hours. Are able to Las Vegas in 45 minutes by plane. There is great Mexican food, modern buildings, low crime, good schools and medical facilities, state-of-the-art. Each year we receive many retirees from the Midwest. Most have vacationed here forYears, just waiting for the opportunity to have a winter home here.

One might ask what is the point of telling me all this? They appeal to the Department of Tourism, to encourage you to visit or move here? Heck no! Although I love living here, I hope you stay where you are. I hope that does not move a single bed again here to push our streets and shops. But this will not happen, I fear. So, I would emphasize the negative. Houses and apartments are not cheap in summera bitch, we have only two roads, speeders with a radar picture NAB, and, unfortunately, Mike Tyson. This should give you a fixed stop on tracks. Did I mention he was killed, Bob Crane of Hogan's Heroes fame in a Scottsdale motel? Hopefully this is the last straw. Now listen to complaints, return to your task and clear the snow accumulated on the driveway.

An American in Europe: why they hate us?


Image : http://www.flickr.com


"Traveling is good."

This should be the motto of the airlines in trouble, because it is absolutely true. Learn from some incredible things in the world, literally shoulder to shoulder with our neighbors and this baby Blue Planet of us.

I just got back from my first trip to Italy, and while I've been many times in England and France and some of our immediate neighbors like Canada and Mexico, have my eyes on this trip more of ANY of the first open.

Perhaps theimportant thing I've seen what appears to be the high standard of living there. People are well dressed, I noticed a lot more fashionable, like us, on average.

They look healthy, enjoying a sort of universal health coverage and easier access to health services.

Above all, spend significant amounts of it, that the vacation of their own shops and paternalism usually elegant restaurants, I saw on the road.

There are someOther things I noticed.

Most shopkeepers and restaurateurs are "clean freaks" clean up constantly since their opening until closing. Brooms are everywhere, cleaning the house, at 8: 30 am is inevitable, and was almost forced to leave your food products in a different way can be removed from your desktop.

The beaches are clean lines of salt are perfectly symmetrical, and each of the workers in the service seems to have a supervisor watching over him.

Compare to Las VegasHotel, where at least four times to clean the house and even called them, were not intended, and no one would be that day.

It seems that we in America emptying the realm of employee services so that they are an endangered species, while in Italy, for example, they are not only ubiquitous, they are effective, professional and happy to serve.

And they are paid living wages, it seems, then, after listening to conversations, appear in close proximity to live and beprovide the location, home.

As a proud American, I tried to find a way to take credit for Italy, and by extension for the well-being of Europe. How, I wondered, have contributed to their salvation?

Well, first, they did not have a big war in at least one fight, and depending on how you calculate two and a half or even two generations. Received a "peace dividend" that we do not after the end of the Cold War, which was planned but never builtmaterialized.

They have reduced barriers to trade among themselves, usually adopt a common currency, the euro, the rise and the dollar has obscured.

And perhaps most remarkable is the fact that his elderly are visible, providing healthy and well.

Instead of perceiving the "social security" as something you can fudge, the European company to help Actually her age, set their declining years committed to make a soft landing, if you will.

My trip wasFun, you misunderstood me.

But it is also disturbing. The bedrock belief that we are better in America was shocked, really for the first time

I like lower taxes, better opportunities for social and economic progress, and large and I am an individualist.

If I had to live abroad, I miss McDonald's, perhaps too much, or the fact that in most American cities you can find a decent meal and the rerouting of 24 hours per day.

But I envy their social pact, a commitment totakes care of all citizens and their sense of ease and comfort, the absence of fretting corrosion on the face of so many mothers and fathers, as they tend to what appears to be a proliferation of children.

And in mind when I hear the question: "Why Americans do not seem so much contempt?" we the people who freed them from fascism and communism, I began to feel a weak response.

Perhaps because they enjoy peace, prosperity and hope, andThe fear that the very country that helped to deliver these benefits could, at the edge of the path of them are from adventurism or worse, by impulsivity.

I hope not.

All I know is that I need to get out more often, to see how people really live the fiction and propaganda out of my head is empty.

I do not know if it will help me to become a citizen of the world, but it can make me a better American.

The challenges and increase the stress builds for Sarah Palin


Image : http://www.flickr.com


The local paper has seven challenges for Sarah Palin, our Alaskan governor back, five days established by the Presidency has been decided. This article examines the stress that these challenges is based. I discussed this relationship and eternal suspicion federal grounds Sarah in a previous article. This article most of the other challenges.

Katie Couric in her CBS interview, highly influential, laid the groundwork for the next challenge - maturing policy. One ofthe results of the campaign was the feeling that Sarah did not have enough national and international experience. If they try to achieve this balance experience running against the state - and the amount of stress that leads to it - to be true, and Alaska?

There is no doubt that working with the diet such as stress-free as it was prior to their placement on the ticket, vice presidential candidate. not carving the Republican good old boy network havehelpful in their local political party and the resentment for the dismissal of Walt Monegan will keep the pressure on them for some time to come.

One challenge for Sarah is to understand how to deal with family and friends. While they are friends of long duration could be called key positions and her husband Todd may be too involved in the business of government, a similar procedure in the future will bring under its direct pressure.

Another source of stress is interestingmedia, especially after their sharp criticism of the national press. After returning to Alaska, it was nice to see that they spent time talking openly and freely with the press. Your way to reduce and relieve stress in recent criticism by the press was to meet part of their fees and unjustified criticism. To continue to relieve pressure and get their message out there clearly and frankly needs them open, honest, transparent, even to return.

No one doubts thatThis will not only manage stress, but because it has a strong sense of pride and purpose. At the end of the day, apart from admirers and critics, Sarah Palin is a very important place in the political history of America deserve. She was the first woman, the opportunity for the American people, have the vice-presidency of the United States of America votes - and this is a phenomenal result for a young woman from Wasilla, Alaska.

Scotus - Hands Down Case New Campaign Finance

Supreme Court Justice Robert narrowly approved new rules for federal spending campaign on Thursday in a ruling written by Justice Anthony Kennedy for the 5-4 majority, "Our nation is mentioned dynamic and informative articles should not circumvent the restrictions onerous for 'exercise of their First Amendment rights. "

Justice John Paul Stevens wrote the dissenting opinion and said: "In a democratic society, which limits the long-standing consensus on the need for corporate campaignThe costs expected to exceed the application of rules of judicial wood. "
President Obama said. "The Supreme Court gave the go-ahead for a new onslaught of special interest money in our politics," Obama said. "This is a great victory for oil is great for Wall Street banks, insurance companies and other powerful interests that every day Marshal Their power in Washington stifle the voices of everyday Americans."

Conservatives praised the decision saying it was longlate.

"Participating in the Supreme Court's decision today, a victory for the First Amendment and the right of all Americans in the political process," said Theodore Olson, argued the successful case of the conservative Citizens United.
This ruling tilts century old laws and changed the landscape of the campaign with a greater purchasing power for non-profit companies and nonprofit organizations alike, and allow special interest money and safe in the currentColor for the election results. This highlights the McCain-Feingold Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act of 2002.

legislative attempts to regulate campaign finance began in 1867, but were not successfully implemented until 1972, required when the Federal Election Campaign Act (Feca), candidates for all the campaign contributions and expenditures disclosed. In 1974 this law was amended and the Federal Election Commission (FEC was created) attempts to regulate individual contributions$ 1,000, the so-called soft money and money from political action committees to $ 5,000 labeled, hard cash.

In analyzing the law, the Supreme Court in companies and other interest groups as individuals who are unsure are looking for. A company, of which there are many ways, a legal person, with management and employees may be resolved only to shareholders. A company may or may not pay taxes, according to the company address. This gives theseMake unlimited power, unlimited resources with color the opinions of voters and potentially change the outcome of our elections in their favor. People on the other hand have little to defend. But we see more people gather, such as tea-party group to promote their special interest groups. And how will this affect our democracy? We'll find out probably in the autumn, because these laws are effective medium-term elections of 2010.

You have an incredible selling proposition?

Want to support the development and maintenance of long-term growth, increases in revenue and profits, and financial security?

The most important aspect of any business are the customers? It 'okay? Most entrepreneurs are giving away precious money on bad marketing, not their ideal customer. You must identify the ideal customers and understand their buying process for you. Their selling proposition is the key to the success of your business.It 'important to start with the end in mind and go back through reverse engineering. Marketing is the only way to win new customers. Let's start with the principles of ideal for your clients know, understand, and to provide a solution.

There are two important aspects you need to know if your ideal client look like:

Ability demographics or needs, interests

psychographic or because someone wants to buy the product

It is useful to take a snapshot of your currentCustomers begin this year. This allows you, the needs and desires of customers and their needs and desires of you.

Example: If your existing married Single, family oriented, like the old man, who has the power to purchase. You can have a product that can be used only men, but their wives usually get for them, so you have to target women rather than men. E 'for you to serve the right customers, in order to obtain referrals and services of their most important and over again. The idealClient will be clients for life. I will always remember, are always stronger than necessary. It 'so important to focus on the needs and requirements of your customers.

It 's really important to do for your businessinnovative your company and make it unique. This is where a killer is selling proposition effect. Focus on decision makers and users.

For example: We come to your house soon, so do not waste valuable time at work.

In the innovation section, it is important that "you could use" statements. What other steps can I take?

For example, with the setup first: We considerthe rest of the lines at home and eliminating future disasters This saves the customer another emergency call and saving the customer money.

Help with the elevator speech ... "What?"

Before you know how ...

According What we do is ...

Example:

Start with: You know how frustrating it is waiting for the plumber and lost wages at work "
What we do is time to repair the plumbing, so do not miss important parts ofLife.

Now, for your proposed sale. Make the statement above in a sentence or phrase that people ask: "How do you do it" is.

As health care reform is finally over! But beneath the hype surrounding "political bias" lose "the funding of abortions" or "tax Cadillac" is a significant subsidy, can be programmed to provide relief to govern sponsors fight for health care costs of retirees. That provision, known as' reinsurance program, which creates a "reinsurance" subsidy to sponsors of health insurance in retirement plan refers to providing coverage for retirees pre-Medicare age of 55.

TheMedicare Modernization Act of 2003, created a program to encourage employers (retired Drug Subsidy "or" RDS ") for plan sponsors as an incentive for their patterns of drug pensioners, instead of dropping coverage, forcing retirees plan to Medicare Part D. The reinsurance program seems an incentive to employers like. The incentive program would be for the working groups, health plans for their Medicare eligible retirees pre-, in exchange for maintaining a significantGrant.

The reinsurance program clearly benefits employers and industry, the union-dominated and overwhelmed by the rich and expensive health plans are retired. Ironically, what are the health reform bills have been touched by the many special interests and corrupt the political reality of compromise, you can join the other, the "Cadillac-tax" to be compensated with the help (although to Print , probably has a working agreement with the White House worked in groups with freeCollective agreements in 2018). The "Cadillac-tax, imposed a 40% excise duty plans with higher costs over the pre-determined" threshold "level would cost eligible for many of the same plans for increasing the allowance for reinsurance. Plan sponsors with a significant retired population, the effect of the plan is that every dollar of premium collected excise duty could be offset by a grant from the case.

What are the possibleSave?

The proposed program is a program of "temporary reinsurance for employers, health insurance for retirees who are older than 55 and the device have not yet eligible for Medicare. The program would reimburse employers or insurance for 80% of pension credits between $ 15,000 and $ 90,000.

For an employer group with 700 employees and 500 retirees, $ 10,000,000 spent a year health insurance plans, the subsidy could be as much as $ 720,000 with effectCost reduction plan pension equal to 14.4%.

How does the reinsurance program?

Unless we learn from drug subsidy for pensioners' (RDS), the grant program for first drug was able to learn to be calculated as a percentage of all prescription medications claims incurred plan sponsors, will probably be a segment within the government is that push to reduce the dilution and the category of "eligible" states in the final calculation. The RDS was originally relatively simple formulauntil a decision bureaucratic "and" not to create classes of drugs from receiving grants. CMS logic 'behind this change WAS to pay subsidy for drugs that were excluded under the government sponsored form Part D drug plan. Could you use a similar logic to "outsiders" approved medical expenses with grant eligibility only medical procedure and the basal part of government's objective plans are defined within the final declaration.

Even the languagewithin the two bills is not clear "that" gets the award. The bill States Senate ".... the program will reimburse employers or insurance companies, while the House bill only references to "employers". In addition, the language is made expressly in both bills that "payments from the reinsurance program are used to reduce the cost for members to plan the employer. What can we interpret from that language? Can the employer has no right assistance? insurers will be able to provide liability insurancePlans for working and maintaining the subsidy and then the lower premium costs, as they are now under Medicare Advantage?

How long will this program?

The grant is "temporary" as the bill appropriates only $ 5000000000 to fund this program on January 1, 2014

Quick math shows that the money could work for the program quickly. The 2006 study by the Pew showed center1 UN-funded health care liabilities for retired state and local governments alone.State systems be refunded $ 9700000000 "other benefits after the end of work". I retired 30 years are health care liability was designed by 381 billion U.S. dollars, a conservative estimate since these figures do not include requirements for teachers or employee of local government. The state of California, combined with all local governments in California, was designed for a $ 6000000000 retirees in the health sector in 2009. There are also all great plans, Taft Hartley plans VEBA independent (ieVEBA the UAW) and the remaining large private sector pension plans, you see, this target is evaporated in a short period of time.

This raises the question. Since the priority is set when the state agency for the management of this program is inundated with requests? If it is first come, first served? There's a certain amount of "emergency" was established to give priority to assign or establish his qualifications? Or this program, not just health care reform, a subsequent applicationProgram that is legal in perpetuity?

The delicate balance of border security


Image : http://www.flickr.com


Border management is, of course, keep some things out of the country, but also the borders should be open enough to facilitate the movement of legitimate trade and travel. This is not an easy balance to find in even the best of all time.

border enforcement requires the protection of nearly 7,000 miles of border between the United States and Canada in the north and south of Mexico, plus another 2,000 miles of coastal waters of the Florida peninsula and southCalifornia coast. Needless to say, a balance between border security and the legitimate entrance in the country will have a lot of work.

On a typical day, must recognize the border law enforcement process more than one million passengers and pedestrians, tens of thousands of road, rail and sea containers, and somehow, if one of them take drugs, Agricultural pests, currency or illegal Other Prohibited materials. Must somehow make their way through laborall this and yet still allow legitimate travelers quickly and materials in the country.

Each year, efforts to strengthen border security has brought thousands of kilos of drugs seized, arrests of large numbers of criminals and the arrest of thousands of people and between the ports of illegal entry.

Unfortunately, as all these people and containers are processed, can seriously slow down and inconvenience to everyone and everything that canlegally enter the country. There is nothing worse than having to use miles to wade through red tape, if you know there is no reason, additional direct path to safety.

But Border Patrol agents have no way to know before taking this really the time for each passenger or process container. Every year there are new technologies that help to streamline the programs of border police are - technologies, products or agents of a speedy trial to allow patrol areas orSea without going there physically. This may have helped accelerate the process, but there are still some concerns about how technology is used.

In other words, this is a different balance, border control officials have address the balance between security and privacy. It 'can control the cross-border enforcement policy in shipments, containers, and backgrounds peoples' without a serious violation of their privacy? When it comes to safety, is a bit 'Violation of privacy in it worth it?

These are the types of questions that are discussed every day in this country. There must be a balance between the many different facets of commerce, privacy and sovereignty, which does not seem to find an answer to satisfy. Until an answer is conceived, but the border security agents will continue what they can do to protect the country's borders.

An endangered species - Health Care


Image : http://www.flickr.com


I do not want, nor is my intention to politicize the issue of our health care system. Perhaps the policy that the offender derailment any significant progress. I asked this question. We have not allowed health care system in this country in a system "and is not developed?" The system must be paid to look, if you can afford, you live, if not ... We can all imagine the consequences. This should never become a party tool by which participants canClub and their differences. Everyone agrees that the health care system is broken, but completely polarized resolve how. Meanwhile, every town America is paying the price. Sick people are not concerned about party lines, they need medical help. As for me I begin to think as if our elected representatives are more interested in their popularity is what happens at a time in every city in America. While the macro-view is essential for understanding the situation,We can not ignore micro seen.

Let me face the enemy called costs. I find it very interesting that from the economic downturn, health care was broken. I have many open debates, given control of public hearing, such as pork-barrel spending. This is due to a practice of free political activity. Someone has counted the cost? What is the balance that would not be as public projects, and could be as many seriously ill patients have receivedcare right?

A child born with a condition, but the parents refused coverage because the "system", says that has been around a pre-existing condition. So if parents can not afford to pay for treatment, this child should suffer. Not because of an incurable disease, but due to lack of funds. When the child grows up (if they survive) and one adult working, will once again denied coverage, or premiums to be astronomically high. This child is not in health decisions, butare just born that way. As we allow our free enterprise system in place where sellers can get top-post record earnings, while the people are denied as a cover? Is not that a system whose parameters are defined as To Have and Have Not? I am not suggesting or socialized medicine. Although the labor market were to turn around, how many working class people would be able to afford real reference?

The bottom line question for me then what is life? Haveforget the sanctity of life? The profit is now prevalent life? Where do we go from here?

Will the real politician please stand up?


Image : http://www.flickr.com


The Republicans are strong in the victory of Scott Brown elephant in a democratic state. The red dogs are dogs barking in blue. Democrats on the hill are already backtracking on some of the principles sincerely assured until last week. All in an attempt to woo voters back to them and keep their jobs. Not much has changed really. Politicians are trying to become the candidate countries believe, that their constituents want.

Scott Brown's successful campaign, was no differentone in front of her. Brown took the anger and the anger of voters in his state, just like Obama a little over a year ago. This is typical of American politics. If a party takes the momentum of the favoritism of the voters, the other part sits and waits until the screw head. Once the responsibility not to damage the other party falls on the hot topics and to announce that the change is necessary. The problem with this philosophy is that "change"is always short. If the other party back to the control, back to business as usual. And then the no-cycle end of the swing-away policy.

However, the American public rapidly growing political swing tired and kind of candidates they produce. Who are some of the candidates do not need America? America does not need another candidate for a chameleon. A chameleon does what is most popular. America does not hide and seek candidates. Thisis the candidate who hides his party, when he fell into disgrace, and then again when the swing back his way. America has no need of candidates bullies. This is the candidate of the party thugs from power. America does not need whining kid who blames points and candidates. This is the candidate who is being bullied.

And who is the candidate America needs and wants? This is a very good question. The Americans with all the above categories will be eligible until the device isit is unclear what a candidate is true, more like. Maybe a real candidate is honest, hardworking, committed, eager to serve, ready to listen and able to work with the party on sensitive topics. Maybe they are called to take "not agree to say" even if he is ready, without compromising their dignity and values. A real candidate may possess the ability to sell-out of dark desires than to remain in office. This property seems moreelusive. Regardless of the actual candidate seems, America is looking forward to their arrival. And if you listen to both Republicans and Democrats, what Americans really trying to tell them, you are opening, no party in the coming 2010 elections will be secure.

Finding faith in the electoral campaign


Image : http://www.flickr.com


The 2008 election is already emerging as a full faith thing - if you think you are that the rhetoric coming out of some candidate camps this campaign season.

Democratic candidates are trying for the presidency, in particular, "reborn" in the media spotlight was born. This seems to be the direct result of the success of "values voters" to vote are. These "values voters" are sincere Americans who believe strongly that public policy should reflect the traditionalValues such as love of God, love of family and love of country.

But something interesting seems to happen on the way to call candidates altar. As the President of Prison Fellowship Ministries, said Mark Earley, something is wrong when candidates talk about God to kill you in one breath, and God's children through abortion in the next.

In a recent article, Earley said, "The problem is that all this" talk with God misses the point: what Christians want - orwant - a candidate that does not affect their morale and culture, their shares only religious vocabulary. "

Earley recognizes the ideological disconnect that occurs when candidates speak solemnly about religious faith, then pour Planned Parenthood event to lend their support for free abortion on demand note.

"It 's hard to imagine positions contrary to the very motives of evangelical voters who are trying to court," said Earley. "Protection of lifeof unborn children is the cornerstone of politically active Christians in the last thirty years. "

The mainstream media seem willing, their imprimatur to liberal candidates, the name of the Almighty - until all the candidates support Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court's tragic decision, which led to over 47 million deaths in loans. Press for an eleventh commandment is always at stake - "Thou shalt not offend Planned Parenthood, the nation's largest abortionProcess. "

For too long the Democratic Party held hostage by interest primarily as a radical pro-abortion. It is no coincidence that Democratic presidential candidates to take extreme abortion positions. The votes of Democrats for Life are routinely stifled at the national level - although there are many basic democratic and file who do not believe that abortion is a good thing.

Recently there has been a movement for democratic party leaders have softened theirRhetoric on abortion. Democrats call themselves pro-life have also been elected to Congress. However, when it comes to the highest office in the country comes, the door moves to bring a sign with the words "Pro-abortion Democrats only."

Democrats may try, you drag an "Extreme Makeover Edition religion." But while party leaders hostile to the interests in favor of life ... as long as it remains the standard bearer for the party presidential election is abortion ... evangelical Christian leaders haveThe reasons to be skeptical. No matter what party bigwigs want to forget the fact that the Christian religion on a View Pro-life world is based. And endorsements of abortion have no place in a religion, love of neighbor as yourself who preaches. "Thou shalt not kill" is a slogan that can be like an old campaign stickers will be thrown.

Obama Low Country & View of Christianity


Image : http://www.flickr.com


Obama's comment on French television on 1 June, the U.S., "one of the largest Muslim countries in the world," plus his Islamic-praised speech in Cairo, Egypt, June 4 to raise new questions about the their faith and how he views America.

Applications may also asked about his math. The CIA Factbook estimates the Muslim population in America 0.6 percent, or about 8 million before he puts them in 58th position among the nations "Muslim population as a whole. AlthoughTake the Islamic Information Center of the estimated 8 million higher, which is still in the U.S. on 29 from 60 nations.

In Cairo, he quotes the Koran, used his middle name, Hussein, and stressed that the United States and Muslim nations, the same commitment to tolerance and freedom. To understand the absurdity of thinking about the possibility of a Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States sprang from the pens of Muslim scholar al-Thomas Jefferson and Jamesal-Madison.

Over the past three years, Obama has made his work insisting that "we are no longer a Christian nation." He said in many places, here and abroad. In 2006, in Washington, DC, said: "Everything that once were, we are no longer a Christian nation. At least not alone." He scored the same feeling on his campaign website.

At the Compassion Forum at Messiah College in Pennsylvania, April 13, 2008, said, "We're not just a Christian nation. We are a jewNation, we are a Buddhist nation, we are a Muslim nation, Hindu nation, and we are a nation of atheists and infidels. "

In Turkey, at a press conference on April 10, said: "Although we have a large Christian population, we do not consider ourselves a Christian nation or a Jewish nation or a Muslim nation. We see ourselves as a nation of citizens are linked by a set of ideals and values. I think that modern Turkey was founded with a comparable group of values. "

During thepresidential campaign, the media pounced on who investigated Obama's Muslim upbringing in Indonesia, his two Muslim fathers and his subsequent 20 years of participation in the radical pastor Jeremiah Wright's Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago. Now his Muslim roots are praised as an asset class.

Nobody knows exactly what Obama really believes, say, because only God can know the human heart. So we are left examining his words and deeds.

The media have run line for the last three yearsstate that he is a self-described mainstream Christian, end of story. Although Obama badly distorted Jesus' Sermon on the Mount in a fanfare to accept homosexuality, the press yawned. Yawned (or applauded) when he ridiculed in 2006 in Washington, DC, the language of the Bible relevant to the policy:

"What biblical passages should guide our public policy? We must go with Deuteronomy, which suggests slavery is okay? Or we could with Deuteronomy which suggests stoning your child goesis wrong in the faith, or Should we just stick with the Sermon on the Mount, a passage that has radically so that it is unlikely that Our own Defense Department would survive its application. People do not have to read the Bible. "

More applause came when he spoke the language of the machine with a blow to his political opponents in a speech at the United Church of Christ Convention http://www.ucc.org/news/significant-speeches/a-politics- of in-conscience.html2007:

"Somehow, somewhere, stopped on the way, faith used to bring us together and started to use in order to drive us apart. It 'was abducted. Part of it is because of the so-called leaders of the Christian right, which were all used to busy, what divides us.

"We can recognize the truth that is in the heart of the UCC: that the conversation did not God [an] editor, that our roles are not [defined unite men in suits,], with the ancient textsand modern voices, God speaks again [Yes, we are ripping the pages of the Bible every day] to satisfy our appetites require us to change not only our lives but the world around us ... Hatred has no place in the hearts of the faithful. "

Question: It is hateful to think that people you disagree with are not full of hatred? " And 'unifying invent enemies, which is fighting did not begin to blame?

Some other strange things have happened for ObamaSelection of the break to give himself if the cynical observer. Last Saturday, before Obama was sworn V. Gene Robinson, the openly gay Episcopal bishop of New Hampshire sexuality, an invitation to a pre-launch event at the Lincoln Memorial. The New York Times interviewed the first http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/01/12/openly-gay-episcopal-bishop-to-deliver-invocation-at-lincoln-memorial/:

"Bishop Robinson said he had reread the opening prayerhistory and was "horrified" as they were specifically and aggressively Christian. " Bishop Robinson said: 'I am quite clear that this is not a Christian prayer, and I will not quote Scripture or something. The texts, which I think are so holy, not holy texts for all Americans and all people want to hear that this is their prayer. "

One of his first assignment of judges, Obama called Indiana Federal Judge David Hamilton in the U.S. Seventh CircuitCourt of Appeals. Hamilton, who decided that was not a pastor in the name of Jesus in a prayer opening the Indiana legislature had said that on the other hand, relying on Allah in a public event in order.

In April it was reported that Obama Harry Knox, a Catholic-bashing homosexual activist appointed to the Advisory Council for Faith-Based and partnerships in residential areas. Knox, the religion program is aimed at the largest gay lobbying group, described the Human Rights Campaign,Pope Benedict and other Catholic clergy as "politically discredited" because of their stand for traditional marriage, and called the Knights of Columbus' soldiers of an army of oppression discredited "because of their support of Proposition 8 marriage amendment in California.

On April 14, 2009 was the team of Obama at Georgetown University hide the greek letters IHS, which stand for Jesus, so that does not show when he spoke in front of them.

On May 7 Obamadeclined each event at the White House and hold to the acclaimed National Day of Prayer brand, a decision left entirely to Barry Lynn's Americans United for Separation of Church and State.

In his eloquent speech at the start of Notre Dame 17 Obama sounded a conciliatory note in May, complained, Arts abortions, wants taxpayers to finance, and gave further proof that Christianity is the Move Over and eschews a universalist moral relativism:

"The size and scope of challengesWe ask that we renew the remake ["reform" or "Restore", but "remake"] our world to its promise that we align our deepest values and commitments to meet the needs of a new era.

"Your generation must decide, as God's creation of a climate change that threatens to destroy ..... And we need a way to reconcile our ever-shrinking world with its ever-growing variety to be found - the diversity of thought save the diversity of culture and diversity of faith. "

If the differenceand God has not left, if Jesus Christ - the Lord of lords and King of Kings, the Alpha and the Omega, the Way, the Truth and the Life, have been created through which all things?

Now the nation Obama may ask him to change his name ... Allah.

How to make your business to retire from competition Foreclosure Cleanup


Image : http://www.flickr.com


I remember a few years ago as a student in my class 101 Advertising in New York City. We talked about unique selling points (USPs). The professor asked the class to define a USP. I understand with many students not in fact the basic concept then.

A USP or Unique Selling Proposition is, quite simply the function or functions that a business is different from a similar business - and especially how these functionsultimately benefit our customers.

A unique selling may actually holds one of the hardest things to make as a new activity. But when the formalities of creating your USP and focus on us as your business will be different from the competition removed, you will realize the obvious benefits that your customers will appreciate.

Foreclosure Cleanup example USP

Purposes, for example, say a foreclosure cleanup company owner is also aReal estate agent, investor and landlord. (By default, the owner is also an entrepreneur as owner of a cleaning his foreclosure business.) All this for functions which direction the business majors foreclosure cleanup 'to give USP.

But the above example, the primary benefit is the fact that the owner of a cleaning company foreclosure real estate agent is investors, landlords and contractors. The gold mine is, but the benefits of this experience is, finally, foreclosure cleaningbusiness' customers.

How? Why cleaning business owners may exclude cover every aspect of a job because the owner is on all sides with a cleaning foreclosure (contractors in a rental property, an investor working with and managing contractors and owners to work with realtors and builders).

The company owner has touched every aspect of a transaction Trash-outs at various stages of his career, all wear hats. ThisExperience brings another level of planning and comprehensive understanding of a job that another company owner foreclosure cleaning (which has never been a real estate agent, landlord or investor, did not).

This ultimately benefits the customer in case of employment planning, pricing, monitoring, follow-through occurs, and the industry in general.

Tell the world about your USP

You need to tout your USP. Not good for a single selling proposition, if not the pointit out. Need USP and its services or those of your customer market may never know.

For example, on your business' website, create a headline that reads: "What makes us different." Take this opportunity to point your USP and what it means for the customer. Let them come with a slog That tells your USP and is also available on business cards, postcards, magnets for cars and air, online marketing and other places you deem appropriate.

Unique Selling Other samplesPropositions

Here are some examples of these operators for various companies think you will get:

Burger King: have it your way. (Performance: satisfaction that a client king to make a simple hamburger "their" burger Burger. I still remember the jingle full years. I mean, how effective was their USP and is again.)

Bounty: The quicker picker-upper. A document is a paper towel and a paper towel, but saves time Bounty (benefit) becauseHolt losses faster than paper towels than others.

Domino's: fresh, hot pizza to your door in 30 minutes or less. (Although Domino's has offered has been reduced to 30 minutes or less, or free, because the former king processes: incident, but the suspect about 30 minutes is always connected, as a positive performance of their business if the order delivery to customers).

Start making your business' USP

Think about your foreclosure a cleaning company and whatbring to the table. What lies beyond the masses? What is for you and your company to make, to be other similar companies - how are these Differences ultimately benefit your customers?

Also, make sure that your Unique Selling Proposition is real justice - as finally in customer service.

Good luck with your planning and make your business cleaning foreclosed 'unique selling proposition.

Two essential components for a value proposition


Image : http://www.flickr.com


There is no doubt that today's consumers is a strong value. Want to ensure you get the more money you can only.

Many entrepreneurs mistakenly think this means for the customer in search of low cost or inexpensive. The sale price is not firm as a driver of product selection, many believe that entrepreneurs allowed. Should it be the way Sprite usually less expensive 7-Up instead of a much larger market share. If price was the final decision factorCadillac and Lincoln would never sell a car.

If the people of that face value for what they get for their money. To understand, we must remember that people buy.

The only two things that people buy more

There are only two things people buy: the feelings and solutions. Unless you can show how your customers better informed about the value or get the feeling that one of ITS problems to solve a serious reduction in yourpossibility of closing the sale.

Cadillac and Lincoln are able to overcome their higher prices compared with Chevrolet and Ford, by selling people the feeling of elegance.

Two key components of a successful value proposition

Although most of the sales involved to recognize that they need to make a value proposition to close a sale, often leaving the value set. Here are two important components of aa successful value proposition:

First, your eyes are worth. Ensure that the total price and the components of the product or service to ensure a view that the price is fair for what they offer. Remember that the value is typical for independent retailers. This is because retail is tangible and the value is perceived.

A mall-based National Pizza Store is able to convince customers to pay for an extra value meals, simplycreate the feeling that a good deal. They regularly pay more for meals than the sum of value would be if the items were ordered individually.

This example is just one example of the perception of value offered as a way to provide real value. Overloads and damages finally gets a call. The price should be something you as an expert in your field, it can easily be identified as truly exceptional.

Secondly,its value in the eyes of the customer. Make sure the customer sees the value in your offer. This means you need to sympathize with them, remember what the customer tells you about their problems and feelings. If the customer is required to clearly recognize the value that can stop other options for their money.

The myth of 'sell'


Image : http://www.flickr.com


We are not born with our values, have taught us. Our thoughts, feelings, views and opinions about the world are shaped by our experiences of many people and many things. Are colored, rightly or wrongly, our perceptual filters that you learn from others.

"Look left you near your mind" is a claim that is often quoted in my articles and for good reason. It takes between 6-8 weeks to pick up and unwittingly take other views, beliefs andand their perceptions, as if we are not in question and thoroughly examine the implications and impact of these beliefs and perceptions of our thoughts, feelings, behaviors and actions.

Without clear definitions and critical analysis, we might be lead, figuratively speaking, in dark alleys and tunnels of misinformation and false beliefs that can affect us in many ways. We see it happen every day, where people are mislead and to agree on are behaviors that make lifemenacing, threatening and morally healthy.

One of those dark alleys is the myth of the sale as something wrong or immoral behavior. For more years than I remember on the sale of care has been much maligned. It is an act or profession, looked down with contempt as something unpleasant and dishonorable too often ill-informed, people. "I do not sell" or "we are not selling as people here" or "we are not for sale" are some of the statements we have heard from organizationsWho can not accept that their beliefs about the sale with the actual bill of sale. The irony is that these same people, despite their predictions based on employment and sales capacity for a living Every day but are in denial about this important role in their companies. She tries to dance around the issue, call it something else while everyone a feeling of discomfort is something wrong. This is a deformity, a dissonance, and no one canput my finger on it. "Do not talk of war."

We arrived at a leadership team of a company recently, who could not decide to sell the word itself, not to mention the feeling that they had uttered a curse. "We do not sell, we never mentioned the word that is not what we do ..." came loud and clear.

Your vehemence and contempt for the sale was palpable. Some seemed visibly ill. The energy was spent to defend and justify their opinions is a wastefrom our point of view. The culture of customers who had created was a shame, not pride. It was as if everyone knew that part of their sales than it had to do, but could not admit that a state. It 'was the elephant in the room.

Selling by definition is the ability to influence decisions of others. We are not, by default, all parties involved with its sale? What man in one way or another, has no effect on another decision in a certain way every day? A child cries for comfort or food,Person who offers a hand to someone in need, a new idea is born and offers the Creator we believe is a challenge and strive to understand and address is support. Whether or not responding to these situations will be influenced by our views and priorities, and how the other person (s) choose to engage us can influence, participate and collaborate with them.

The theme of this leadership team to address needs, their beliefs, perceptions and viewssale and the ethics of why they do what they do not, the act of sale. Perhaps their beliefs and opinions of the sale were born from bad experiences, real or forwarded. Maybe they had the misfortune to deal with others whose intentions and actions, through the act of sale, has unfair advantage of them at their expense. Perhaps they were convinced that something was not deceived in their interest. The subprime market is a shocking case.

Each action canintentions stained immoral, illegal and dishonorable actions and behaviors. The bill of sale is no different. Selling yourself is not a dirty word. And 'aggression, intimidation, harassment, lies, deceit and fraud, that people use in place of ethical selling practices that the real problem we face should be selected.

If you want people to be able to listen proactively and ethically, to show interest, find common ground, solving problems, find solutions that workcollaborative, and to make the influence of other decisions better informed employees want to be able to say with pride when asked what his "I have a career in sales, do not we all?".

Remember, everyone lives by selling something

Inauguration Day


Image : http://www.flickr.com


I was his time as a true independent in the arena of politics. I'm trying to study and analyze each bill or a sentence and come to the conclusion my personal information I can find one and the same procedure I use when choosing a candidate. I despise those who believe party politics and partisanship should die his death some time.

Apart from that, I'm always happy to accept this past presidential election. The reason for my excitement was BarackObama and what his election potential significance for me. Now I do not agree with all his actions and ideas, and I know that stumble and sometimes fail. I had my moments of frustration and even anger at the decisions he makes. E 'in this way with any elected official, especially with our Commander in Chief. I agree about the coming of our leaders know that the only person who would do all I want is, well, me. But there are many ideas and concepts, I absolutely agreewith, and I think will make a difference and improve things and make up long ago by changing the status quo.

So my excitement and surprise, came to a head when President Obama won. Even watching Senator McCain concession speech, and Obama's acceptance speech, I was still stunned easy to see that we had chosen to give the first African-American president. I was so happy and proud that we as a country so far that the ugly head of racism waswith a more difficult its ugly pumpkin.

That's not to say that I cheated in any way. I know, racism, ignorance and intolerance are out there. Behind closed doors, whispering here a slight shake of his head there, sometimes looking directly for all, but I felt the struggle for racial equality was to move forward. Not as fast as I like, would be able to see, but still progressing.

Racism has always baffled me. Seeking advice based on information formand my sense of logic, of hate, because someone, race, creed or religion, never, never make sense to me. My wife and I raised our children in a way. There is no room for hatred and all people should be assessed to a person, the person. I should not say you love everyone and the whole world your friend should not at all. Let's face it, there are some people in the world that you never will, at a weekend barbecue, or you prefer basic foodThe ears closed, as they say hear. This is normal, but someone you've never met because of the color of their skin or pray that God hates? Huh? How could you run the profound ignorance?

Now I got my answer to that question. I happened to be in a state in the south to the Company on the date of commencement. I'll let you know exactly where I was like this do not happen Against the State in low light conditions, as I really like this place. In any event, the atmosphere was truly electric. There have been somany emotions filled the air, out of joy and enthusiasm for the anger and indignation.

I was sitting in a small restaurant for lunch with three people I work with at the time, was all the inhabitants of the region, all white men. The lunch crowd was a mixture of whites and blacks, all eyes of the few television institution is blocked. The tension was palpable in the room and I know that at first did not like tension.

"I can not believe it as a blankHouse for a reason, and now we have a (N-Word) live in it. "I almost suffocated. This was not only a whispered tone, But to hear a strong, clear statement to everyone in our environment. The other two agree entirely, and their conversation in a similar way.

At first I was just horrified when I saw her sitting around the faces of other guests, then again on the faces of men at my table. Nobody (even the other guests - white or black), seemed to be flinching. This was aconversation perfectly normal and acceptable. I also realized that because I know they have just adopted, I would agree with them and led.

At first I was offended, but then grew angry. I stayed calm, knowing that these people, but also good to know who was there working on this project so that I wonder - "is the only reason you do not want this man to be president because of his race?" She looked at me without understanding for a moment then replies, in fact"It 'must be some other reason?" At that time, I apologized and left the restaurant and drove back to work. (I will not bore you with details of the rest of my days)

Now I've always been of ignorance and racism of the mycelium little insecure minds. But these men were talented, well-educated people. How could the people who obviously have the capacity for rational thought and intelligent, this kind of deep seeded racism? It was so natural for them, of course, assumed I heardSimilarly, because I know I am. It 'was so natural and normal that it was scary as hell. And 'as if it were passed on from generation to generation for so long that it is almost hereditary genetic level.

How can you combat this kind of deep seeded racism? This level of ignorance and hatred? There is a concern that I can not shake. It keeps me awake at night sometimes and makes me question how far we had come, and makes me see how far we go or not as human beings in thoughtthe struggle for equality. We are all a part of it, and they all have to recognize it and protect it. If we turn a blind eye and pretend that goes away, will never heal. I do not know how to fight intolerance to these levels of depth, but I'm not going to stop trying to find out.
