To whom it my concern

A major part of this Blog is the excerpts (revised) of a book I am writing by the same name "A Funny Little Though,"

It is my hope to help serve mankind and the Mother of all of us Mother-earth.

True we were born sinners but we were also born to be "stewards" of this land we call Mother-earth!

Citizenship, is not a right or a privilege, it’s a responsibility

Citizenship, is not a right or a privilege, it’s a responsibility to your countrymen and Your Constitution not your government. We were a people before we were a country. It is called patriotism not governmentism. We were given the right to disband our government, our government dose not have the right disband us!

If we were to start pointing fingers, wouldn’t it be “PRUDENT” to go after the companies that are making a profit form the war by supplying the other side. It seems once again all the IBM, Blackwater Worldwide/Xe Services LLC type conglomerates are going to make money from the blood of the innocent. At the same time men, women, children, and even a Nun are being tortured in the name of “Homeland Security” in two of the worst torture chambers/ Concentration Camps of modern time called, “Abu Ghraib prison and Guantanamo Bay Prison

According to Wikipedia:
“It has been known for decades that the Nazis used Hollerith equipment and that IBM's German subsidiary during the 1930s, Deutsche Hollerith Maschinen GmbH (Dehomag) supplied Hollerith/IBM equipment. As with hundreds of foreign-owned companies that did business in Germany at that time.”

In addition, “In Baghdad, on February 16, 2005, four Blackwater guards escorting a U.S. State Department convoy fired 70 rounds into an Iraqi's civilian car. The guards stated that they felt threatened by the car's approach.”

What of their crimes? No, they say forget the Killing of 100,000’s of Jews killed in order for IBM double in size and Monthly Gross income x12 during World War II. Forget that Blackwater has authorization to kill anyone the US Government considers a threat. These men of God that are like androids, non thinking, non questioning, with no reasoning or compaction for human life, are killers with a free pass to murder, and get to walk free among us. Yet, the innocent die in the name of Terrorism. Terrorism is an action not a people.

And yet a boy named Omar Khadr was fifteen years old when US troops imprisoned him in Afghanistan in 2002 (According to Democracy Now and other new services). They think that Omar Khadr may have thrown a grenade at a group of soldiers, all that is truly know is that he was found injured and comatose at the seen. So our US tax dollars are funding a fifteen year old boy to be beaten and threatened with rape after he arrived at Guantanamo Bay Prison. This is all on suspicion, not on evidence! Innocent until proven guilty, I say not! We are all guilty if they say we are and they can make the facts to back up any store for anything they feel is need to eliminate the threat.

Furthermore, we are been asked everywhere we turn do you have “ANY” Hispanic decent. Why? (Flash back, “Are you a Jew or of Jewish decent?”) Then there is the “Mexican Roundup” that has been going on for over a year but Arizona made it legal with the “Senate Bill 1070” on April 26, 2010 and rumors that Washington state is next. Now this Senate Bill 1070 charges Arizona state workers like cops and teachers to turn in, detain or arrest you based on your visual appearance in regards to Hispanic or Mexican ethnicity. A round up of all Hispanic or Mexican regardless of your US heritage, guilty tell proven innocent. This frame of mined is no different then the Germans rounding up of the Jew.

With the “Mexican Roundup” going on for over a year now, I have hear headline such as;

“Iowa Town Turned into "Open-Air Prison" as Wives of Men Arrested in Largest Immigration Raid in US History Forbidden to Work...or Leave!”
“200 Arrested in Immigration Raids”
“Increased Raids and Checkpoint Arrests Endanger Undocumented Immigrants Threatened by Gulf Coast Storms”
“750+ Immigrants Detained in "Operation Return To Sender" Raids”

In many of the stories surfacing across America, you hear of mother, child(ren), and dad are all been housed in different Concentration Camps throughout the US, in the middle of old farmland. Just ask the truck drivers what they have seen. They are the one’s becoming disheartened in regards to what is happening in this country for they suppliers the country, and those needs are coming in to question.

Everywhere one looks our Civil Liberties are at risk or all ready have been compromised! It is not just the Hispanic or Mexican ethnicity that are been rounded up. It is anyone that the US Government perceives as a threat to the continuity of operations of the government. Also know “Federal Continuity Directive” hidden under the umbrella known as “Homeland Security Act.”

So now we hear things like;

“Lieberman on Revoking Terrorists' Citizenship: 'American Citizenship Is A Privilege, Not A Right,”
 "We Are Not Terrorists, Activists with the RNC Welcoming Committee Speak Out Against Police Crackdown & Terrorism Charges”
“Ramsey County Sheriff Admits Local Police Used Paid Infiltrators and Spied on Activists Including RNC Welcoming Committee”
These people/countrymen are not all terrorists, and illegal immigrants.

So what happen to our Constitutional Rights as they stand now! Do you think Article II Section 4 is still on the books?  Or what of our First Amendment Rights? For it is whom ever the US Government/ Continuity of Operations Program/ Homeland Security deems a threat that lose their Civil Liberties. If you say you are not with the government, than you’re against them and are easily labeled a terrorists, a anarchists, unpatriotic or if you or a family member were not born in the US, a illegal immigrant.

Your rights as an US Citizen are no more when you look at the Big Picture. Not if Sen. Joe Lieberman, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Homeland Security get their way. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said it best “U.S. citizenship is a privilege, not a right." Citizenship, is not a right or a privilege, it’s a responsibility to your countrymen and the US Constitution not the government or Article II Section 4 would not be a part of our US Constitution.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton should look in to the fact that we swear our elegance to the Country, not the Government, and to uphold our oath to the Constitution not Homeland (Home-office) Security. Just by writing this article, I can be considered a combatant and a terrorist according to many new laws that have been put in to place since 9/11! We didn’t just have two buildings (jets & countrymen) fall that day, our democratic government fell as well.

So once again I say to you that I argue that Citizenship is not a Right or a Privilege, it’s a Responsibility to your Countrymen and the US Constitution, not the US Government. That is way “OUR FOREFATHERS” put in to affect Article II Section 4 of the peoples Constitution: “The President, Vice President and all civil officers of the United States, shall be removed from office on impeachment for, and conviction of, treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.”
Where do you stand?

The only hero on the playground

As a youngster, I too would plead for a penny to put in the candy machine. Unlike most youngsters, if I received the penny, I would then rush over and give it to the child begging for a penny. Needless to say, I stopped getting pennies for I would just give them away.

At about age five I met an older gent whittling by a stump. While observing him at work shaving the wood away, I asked how many friends he had (For I thought someone that old must have a lot), he said to me, “Youngen, You‘ll be lucky if when you’re my age you can count one friend on your hand!” Contemplating this for a minute I said, “Well then, I will just have to make sure that I can be that one person on every persons hand I meet!” He stopped whittling and looked at me sternly, I looked back the same (Tom-boy, redhead). He smiled, offered me a some lemon aid as our discussion continued. When it came time to go he called to me as I was walking away and said, “Of all the spirits I have met in my life time, I think you could do it.” “Let me be your first friend.”

Then as a youth, I started school at age 14 in Pittsburgh California (Antioch J. H.). I had to contend with a lot of harassment. It wasn’t just because I was a New’vy, there was the fact that I was illiterate (according to their standards in the 3 R’s, I could walk in to the woods and never have to come out if I didn’t wish, with remarkable math skills), and learning disabilities. Then socially inapt when it came to living in a polyester, Catholic Church on Sunday, public school, track home lifestyle I now had to live (Railroad overalls, wood cook stove, oil lamps, never staying in one place to long and no school).

I literally woke up in a new world! Yet, even my archenemy, I won over because I cared when no one else would. Even at the cost of been beat up by another archenemy in the bathroom, I would not leave her side. Also at the time, I had only one male best friend, this was a young man fixed in a chair (You would never knew it though), whose only way to talk was to use his eyes or a stick (I still love and miss you all).

I could go on and on, but the truth of the matter is that even as a small child, I wanted to be a Hero! So I became a Hero, only to find I was the only hero on the playground (I did attend 1st grade). Even sadder still, it seems I am practically still the only Hero on the playground now, which makes for a lonely life.

My mother said to me more then once to stop being a “JOAN of ARC.” I would tell her I couldn't help it, (With a, “You can’t save the world” speech). It was not until yrs later I understood who “JOAN of ARC.” was.

Furthermore, hearing more then once that any person can give shelter and healing to a friend, but to put aside ones differences and help those that at one time did you wrong was truly an act of kindness in the Eyes of God (for me, my Great Parent). So that is what I do. Only to have the folks tell me “You have doormat written all over your forehead” Hearing this more times then I like, I came back one day with “Don’t they say God rewords you double in heaven for your un-selfish deeds here on earth when you get to heaven?” “Ya” “Well, I would rather have Doormat Doormat on Gods forehead then Azzhole Azzhole.”  I just can’t give up on Humanity! If that makes me a sucker oh well, I have no regrets

Now as a adult, I have worked over 15 yr or so, pushing for building code reform, to save lives, land, and liberties (Blog: "Build to flow with nature and not to resist it"). As well as, writing a book these last 8 yrs, that I am now publishing on a Blog (A Funny Little Thought). This book is dedicated to humanities, community awareness, and solution for both. Then there are the innovations in business ideas and products to help communities, save lives, land. Followed by some business venture that serve the public with little to nil competition, which is essential to a starting company and it's investors (Blog: Brainstormen Headhunter).

Even thou I have not made any new change in the world yet, I shall not yield. I will continue until I am taken seriously by the world and it’s needs. After so many yrs networking, I would have thought some one would have wanted to bring change, nothing so far. I guess I am still one of the only Heroes on the playground.

Help me help the world, so I can do my job!
