How the NRA is failing it members

Posted on Posted in Gun laws, Policitcs, UncategorizedLeave a comment

The NRA – National Rifle Association – is an association which was established in 1871.

I will discuss no numbers or statistics here.

I only wish to say that instead of proposing a solution to the mass-murders, the deaths and the violence which continues to occur that our NRA only shoots down options, possibilities, and choices.

Propose, team with others and move forward into the new year.  Develop a solution which addresses what is happening.

Why are you, the NRA silent on proposing a solution or have a clear plan of reducing violence which involve guns?

Why is there not a 10-step plan which I can go to and read about right now?

Your lack of vision will ultimately hurt all gun owners.

 

A Leader, A Hero, A thought

Posted on Posted in Hero/Leader/Politics, Policitcs, UncategorizedLeave a comment

For some, leading others comes easily and is simple to identify in others.

I figure it is best to clearly identify just what this should mean and define it in a way which is easy to understand.

Generally speaking a Hero is not someone who wears tights and we see them on the silver screen saving the planets or cities of our galaxy.

A hero is someone who sees a wrong.  A hero is someone who makes a choice to do something about that wrong.  A hero is someone who speaks up for those who have no voice.  A hero is a person who will at times be ridiculed for what they say.  A hero may lose everything they have.

And a hero is someone who may just be you.

 

Disney and the influence of our Lives

Posted on Posted in Entertainment, UncategorizedLeave a comment

You may recently have seen a new movie.  Something called Star Wars.

Disney owns many “properties” at this point and is leveraging them in ways not seen in some time.  They have ownership of entertainment and news.

In the past year at ESPN they have removed well spoken writers – Greg Easterbrook and Bill Simmons.

This is notable as Disney moves toward a general “all” appeal to the masses as to remove any actual real thought of subjects that should possible not only matter…but are actually important.

Mr. Easterbrook took on the subject of concussions and why the NFL was not doing enough about it.

Mr. Simmons created a site – Grantland – which explored various topics and subjects and was not immune to ruffling feathers either.  http://grantland.com/features/a-mysterious-physicist-golf-club-dr-v/

What is in common for both of these individuals?  They were both long-time employees of ESPN and Disney.

They were not fired or not renewed due to incompetent behaviors or thoughts.  They were not brought back since they do not fit the corporate image of what it means to be a part of Disney.

A new year. A happy year?

Hi.  This is my first post and I want to say hello.

I will be adding my thoughts, ideals, ideas and in general feeling of where things are currently and where they should be going.

This Blog/Facebook/Twitter/Instagram (eventually) for the last two is meant as a way for my voice to be heard.

I have many thoughts about what is occurring in our world and I am not entirely pleased with what is happening.

And yes I know…you are reading this – whoever you may be – and thinking “good luck!” with that.

I have a simple belief that ideas are more powerful than people realized and believe that the right ideas will and do change the world.

I hope you enjoy what I have published.

ps.  I write the things I do because I am but one.  For my thoughts to have impact I’d ask you to share what you see if you believe it is impactful or meaningful.  I believe this world can be changed and believe with your help it will be accomplished.
