(We hope that Citizen Journalist didn't overhear our telephone conversation with

his doctor, Doctor Henry H. Harley. Last year, CR was treated for his addiction

to alliterations at the "Riley Rehab Right of Raleigh {N.C.}." We fear that

he is experiencing a relapse).

 

Preface: This constitutes our Swan Song. AddThis and Google Analytics tell us

that we enjoy a respectable number of readers for which we are extremely

grateful...Thank you, readers/cyber-friends...Regrettably, there has

been a paucity of feedback: We want Compliments...alright...Constructive Criticism

too! (Oops! 3Cs). Regrets, we have a few but than again to few to mention.

Through it all, we stood tall and did it our way. There were times, we're

sure you knew, when we bit off more than we could chew but through it

all, we stood tall and did it our way.

 

Normally, we start off with the cosmos (which means world) and then deal

with the world. Voltaire's attitude was: Oh God, if there is one,

save my soul, if I have one. And, after creation, God laid back and with

free will allowed humans to make a mess of things. We concur but

wouldn't blame all humans but that group which considers itself

intellectual and sophisticated and looks down at the majority: lousy

little lying liberals! (Pardon).

       Recently, Mike Huckabee announced that he would not seek the

presidency. He ruined things for us. While it is premature to endorse

anyone, we were tentatively going to endorse (subject to change):

Huckabee for President and Cain for Vice-President.

 

Huckabee held up the stars. We spoke about the military's DARPA

Program (some of its projects are top secret) in the past. Recently,

a joint DARPA/NASA project was initiated called "The 100 Year

Starship Project" (did we mention this project before?). In

January, they conducted a workshop for strategic planning. Now, they

are taking suggestions during this study phase on creating a

business-style model which is multi-disciplinary in nature that will

make long distance space travel practicable and feasible which,

hopefully, will encourage private investment.

      It makes sense when NASA awards contracts to private companies

for products and services. NASA has its own programs, as well as,

those it does jointly with private companies or with NASA monitoring.

We are vehemently opposed to all subsidies on constitutional and

financial grounds. The fed gov is issuing $$$s to private companies

like SpaceX and Virgin Galactic to develop cargo and manned crafts

and rockets to go to and from space station. This should be done by those

who invest in risky projects - they are good at picking the right

projects - and generally make a profit. This shouldn't be the role of fed

gov (nor investing in green technologies) with taxpayer money. We

won't be paid back nor will we enjoy future dividends! Further, they

will charge NASA for trips to and from space station! This money

should be used to develop NASA Ares 1 heavy-lifter and Ares 5 super-

heavy-lifter or lifters based on the $9 billion invested in Constellation,

including, Ares R & D and testing. Obama wants to start a heavy-lifter

program from scratch! Wasting taxpayer money.

       Isn't this refreshing, original and converse: private sector investment

in a gov project - NASA/DARPA!!!

      (We need NASA, please see "Space Shuttle Spin-offs" (3Ss, please

pardon CR, he knows not what he does) and "Action Chain Letters,"

including, "Action Chain Letter 10" and "ATBTC..." at groups.google.com/

group/rickcosmos-eclectic, /group/newfederalism).

 

Let's take a break for a light and pleasant moment...

                "As every man must die, so every man may see that

                 he must die; as it cannot be avoided, so it may be

                 understood."

                                                  -John Donne

 

Here's a novel idea: Return to Constitution, more specifically, "The

Declaration of Independence", "U.S. Constitution, including, Bill of Rights"

and "Federalist Papers." Liberals, formerly known as progressives, have

insidiously and progressively abused the "Commerce Clause,"
"Enumerated Powers" and the following line in the Constitution: "...the

general welfare of the people."

       One of the enumerated powers granted fed gov is regulating trade

between U.S. and foreign nations and between the states. Dem-controlled

congresses over the past 100 years have invoked it for non-trade matters

and intra-trade. A year ago, Obama seized control of all water within

the U.S., including, lakes, ponds, rivers, streams intra-state, water not

shared by more than one state, including, the puddle in front of your

house! by invoking "Commerce Clause." Such actions have reduced

state powers and individual liberties.

       Some of the other "Enumerated Powers" are: manage a national

military; coin money; grant copyrights; manage a post office; make

treaties; establish fed courts below the U.S. Supreme Court; you get the

idea... areas best handled at the federal level and matters that demonstrate

our unity as one nation under God (Libs hate that!; our Founding Fathers

felt otherwise).

        Amendment 10 in the "Bill of Rights" makes it clear that any powers

not enumerated shall be considered state or people powers. Sadly, about

a century ago and most notably FDR's New Deal in the 1930's and LBJ's

Great Society in the '60's, liberals took note of "the general welfare." They

concluded that, in spite of, the Federalist Papers and the first 100 years

of our nation that it meant things like fed involvement with Social

Security for the elderly, Welfare for the poor, SS-disability for disabled,

etc. (Citizen Journalist is a cripple. He was hospitalized in 1990 for a

fractured rib. A nurse said, "You must be so excited that the "National

Disability Act" was just passed. He responded, "WE opposed it." She was

nearly shocked out of her nurse's uniform!).

       Look at the Enumerated Powers, Amendment 10 and Federalist Papers:

Fed gov should do those things best done at national level and those

things that are for all Americans (general welfare) and not specific groups

of people. Further, they mismanage, waste billions, billions in fraud when

they get involved with areas beyond their proper purvue. Liberal Supreme

Courts have condoned or have looked the other way while state and

people powers were slowly  reduced in breath and scope. Soon we

will need a microscope. Before you know it, fed gov will be taking porno

pics and molesting. ("ATBTC: A New Beginning" Proposal 17).

nationalized banking courtesy of Obama - a major CONSTITUTIONAL
CRIME!!!):

               What is the difference between the degrees Doctor of

               Dental Surgery (DDS) and Doctor of Medical Dentistry

               (DMD)?

               The title depends entirely on the school's preference

              in terminology. The degrees are equivalent.

Economics...The truth about Federal Income Taxes: 50% of Americans

don't pay them; 25% get a return; the wealthiest Americans, the top 1%

pay 30% of them - they pay more than their fair share and don't mind

during good economic times: they pay less %-wise but more dollar-wise

but are collecting a lot more green due to Reagan/Bush cutting tax rates

and eliminating loopholes and deductions.

       What FDR and Obama taught us: Big $s in the form of stimulus

packages due little or nothing during bad economic times; What we

learned from R & W: Cutting tax rates does the trick. Non-lib JFK knew

this as well.

       Oil companies are stealing us blind: Think on this the next  time that

you go to the pump - 7 cents of the dollar that you pay goes to big bad

oil while 41 cents goes to the state (tax) and the rest goes to refineries, the

transporters of oil, the gas station, FOREIGN COUNTRIES, (TERRORISTS),

etc.

 

*The first part of quote comes from "M*A*S*H* Goes to Paris" (by Richard

Hooker, 1975, Pocket Books) and the second part from "M*A*S*H*" by

Richard Hooker, 1968, Perennial Books). Few people know that it was a

novel before it was a motion picture (1969) and a T.V. series (1972-83). Even

fewer know about MASH Goes to New Orleans/Maine/Paris.
