Upcoming Elections
I have to say, that if the elections come down to McCain and Obama, I’m going to have a real hard time voting.
More or less, I agree more with McCain and the Republican side because I strongly do not feel that a carte Blanche pull-out in SWA will do anything but create a hell of a mess that we’ll be dealing with. It’ll suck the fight to our lands.
I feel that Obama has a great opportunity to unite America more however. What he has the potential to do on the home-front is great. It’s one thing that we haven’t had in this country since the 1950’s, that’s a united country.
Overall, I’m typically more Republican than Democrat in my stance on most issues, with the exception of the ideals of religion and abortion. Those two items I feel are personal in nature and shouldn’t be meddled with by the government, no matter how I feel about them. (personally, I think the Moral right is just as wrong as the hippy left, and abortion, I’m personally against in most circumstances, but feel it’s no right of mine to push that idea upon others).
I am hoping that this is what the elections are going to come down to. I am very glad to see that Romney is endorsing McCain, and jeez-us, I hope Hillary doesn’t get the Democratic nomination…all we need is more of absolutely no change…
TSA Blog
The TSA has been in the news quite frequently, so I’m sure everybody has a general understanding of what they do, why they do it, so forth. Even though the people demanded an agency be created, the people are complacent and don’t like what they requested…However
What the TSA does, what DHS does, is mostly transparent to the general population. If the general population had the ability to read the morning reports that come across, about what sorts of threats and bad guys there are in our neighborhoods, the general population may be saying that TSA does not do enough…or they’d be at least conscientious of their own lives, their own neighborhoods, and appreciate those who are conscientious of those for them.
The TSA has a blog up that since it’s inception approximately 2 weeks ago, has done not much more than draw the ire of belly-ache’rs and those with lives so good, they have to hunt for things to complain about. Those who complain that there are others trying to protect them…
This blog, at http://www.tsa.gov/blog, is a good idea. It answers questions that you may not be able to get while standing in a 17 minute line and hustled through the screening process. It gives answers to why you can only take a quart sized baggy with 3.2 ounce containers, why you have to take off your shoes, why you can’t bring your favorite target pistol and silver bullets on board with you. It also gives you the interface to actually see what Kip Hawley is saying, and what the motivations behind TSA are.
TSA ranked along with IRS, and barely above FEMA, as the most hated agencies…I think I know why. TSA asks you to put forth a little effort in order to assure that you, and everybody else is protected in the sky’s above our country, and the people who belly ache about this are those who feel put-out by being asked to do anything. TSA does a good job at what they do, and gets a bad rap by those who are lazy more or less…
Enough of my rant on the 1% of people. We all have to deal with them some time or another. I encourage anybody who comes across this blog to take a look at the new blog, maybe ask an intelligent question that could be beneficial to many people, and quite possible, be someone who could make a change for the better, for the security staffs and passenger’s alike.
