It's about TIME

There are so many things that keep us all apart. We have continental drift that is pulling us all apart this way and that. Then we still haven't recovered from the fallout in communications from the tower of Babel. 

I mean first the flood and then making it so we all speak different languages? And that was all so we would go forth into the world that was just decimated by a flood? 

So finally our great maker figures out that if we are given cars, and gas ain't too expensive, we'll go forth and multiplying all over this great planet of ours. So we've done what we've been told to do (finally), a little too well I guess, cuz now our holiness is melting all the icecaps and glaciers on this planet and trying to flood us out again. Go figure?! 

OK, so where was I? Modern day. The Year 2000. Here and now, so what is there keeping us apart now? Well it's Time. We are all separated and working in different time zones. Well our fearless leader didn't make that up, we did. It's the silliest thing, and we aren't doing anything about it. How are we going to explain this to the aliens when they land? How embarrassing. 

How about we just have one Earthtime for everyone, with everyone on the same time. How easy is that?! NO! There's no daylight savings time either. No jumping forward, and no leaping back in time. Just one set time for all of us. 

Time, it's just a fabrication anyway. You can set Noon to whenever you feel like along with Spring, Summer, Winter, and Fall, but the time should be the same for everyone. No one traveling around the world in airplanes would ever have to reset their watch again, how great does that sound. How about you fly somewhere that is 8 hours away and then when you get there it's actually, guess what, 8 hours later. WoW. Brilliant. Not to mention that the cost savings of a world using one time would be huge! 

But most importantly, we wouldn't be a world separated by time any more! We'd unite and all live together in the same world at the same time as one big happy family.

Toxic Government Prejudices Veiled in Our Tax Code

Toxic Government Prejudices Veiled in Our Tax Code

• 
  
• Journal Entry

I just don't think the government should have a say in marriages (and a number of other things). That really seems to be what it boils down to if we want to resolve the issues. 

First of all, separation of church and state comes to mind also. 

I don't see what the government gains by it, except for control of tax dollars.

Yes yours and my money. 

And we all know money talks and that's what keeps us in this mess. People with a certain point of view contributing their tax dollars to political campaigns that are bent on stick there nose into things they have no right to. 

There wouldn't be any quibble about it if the government just stop trying to control things through tax code. I'm sure there'd be an uproar but not a quibble. 

It's written into the tax code to give preferential compensation to married couples. What is that for? To entice those couples who are on the fence with a tax break so they go ahead and tie the knot? Or is it suppose to keep us in a marriage we aren't happy with? Either way, obviously couples need to go into marriage on their own accord and not because of tax dollars incentives being dangled in front of them.  

I've been married and I've been single. I got nothing against either. When I was married I really didn't know why I should be getting a tax break for that. Tax breaks for married couples spits in the face of our constitution and equality for all.

What's next, a tax break for your sexual orientation?! Well I guess that's what the government's marriage policies boil down to for some people, and I don't believe those folks are all that happy about it. 

I just think, as Americans, we should all have the same rights and tax policy as everyone else. And not have to live under different policy variations arranged according to the way the government or IRS taxation policies decide to socially group us. 

-----------------------

A separate but related issue; tax breaks for dependent children? You better be able to afford your own kids and  not require handouts to properly take care of every one that pops out. This is a similar but different issue than marriage, but a is nonsense approach that does not really solve the needs of the parents or the children that really need it. 

----------------------

Also I have thoughts about taxation for "religious orgs." I think separation of church and state means not treating them differently. Giving  tax breaks to a particular government accredited religious group, seems like the government sticking there nose into religion when and where they shouldn't be. 

It seems a church membership is a lot like a Gym membership. Why tax one different than the other? 

----------------------

Also I have thoughts about taxation for non-profit Orgs and Political Orgs.

If they were actually non-profit and not making any money, you wouldn't have anything to tax in the first place. 

And we know the IRS mess in the news lately about tax break accreditations being held up for tea party groups. But if you dig deep enough into that, you'd see the IRS shouldn't have been providing special tax status to any political groups in the first place, and in doing so, is violating congressional law.

----------------------

It certainly seems obvious that government is using the IRS and taxation as a manipulation tool, and that it's shrouded beneath the unmanageable knotted web of complexity of it all.

Driftwood

It was early in the morning still and quite but for the wind and waves as I walked along the ocean's edge. I could see a sunbather off in the distance and thought how nice it was to be cradled in the sun soaked sand. Her smooth and polished body and limbs bask and glowed in the heat of the morning sun. The seagull's cry overhead startled me, and had me worried now for her, there alone and so still in the sand. I found myself running to her filled with worry and delight at how silly I'd feel when I got there to find her warm and well. As I got closer and closer I could see her glorious body so curvaceous and smooth, glowing like the well polished surface of driftwood after its long and arduous journey it made from some distant far away land. I found myself running to her now filled with hope and desire, my muse pulling me to her. I offered no resistance and spun my wheels running in the sand not making the progress I so desired. My heart was pounding harder with every step I ran. I knew I had to be with her.

Folding the Laundry

So I was folding whites from the laundry this morning, or in the process of getting to that. No music playing, so just my own thoughts to contend with. I took off my down vest as folding cloths gets me warmed up, and I had it on because I'm trying some new automated settings with the thermostat and apparently at the moment should still be under the covers in bed sleeping. In getting started I also opened the bedroom blinds to let the light in. Yes I make the bed and fold the clothes there. Work shirts or clothes that get hung up have preference get plucked and hung first.

There was a boy out in the backyard a few houses down on the left I could see out the window all bundled up swinging on the play-set. I kid still playing on a swing, how wonderful, all alone so sort of sad, but almost getting horizontal on the sweep of the swing so nice to see the effort there.

What to do about her. Yes her. The one I harp over to myself and her who doesn't shut me out for it. I called her a ghost in a message as we are on a first name bases but then that being about all the personal info I know about her except her occupation and the town she's  in. Thinking about it  there folding clothes I was thinking I should have said internet ghost instead of ghost on probably not said it at all. I was trying to allude to the fact that with the little bit I new about here there was really no corporal connection we could ever make or that she is particularly clever in side stepping. I'm still hanging on to the maybe I got from her on that.

Well I've seen photos, many photos, all sorts of photos, of her so it was more of a jab about not seeing her in the flesh. She's quite the duck, not much ruffles her feathers and she lets a lot roll off her back. Not much gets to her, but the thing that do are quite understandable and warranted. She has her limits to what and how much she'll take. It keeps me on my toes as I don't want to be on the receiving end of a warranted spanking from her so it helps me to examine what I'm really want to and am trying to say before I write it. I'm quite taken with her she's really something. I get jealous though of the time she puts into countermanding idiots and wish I could get that amount of attention from her. She doesn't like rude/mean comments to her or her minion and she doesn't like stalkers, so you see how her online presents could be kept quite busy with that. She did just hired someone to work with her who was also someone from online so it does look like a real friendship or relationship could be possible. I wouldn't want that job though. I have my principles, and it seemed the previous employee for that position was just the opposite. Not that there are lines I wouldn't cross under the right circumstances but that job was just too messy and I don't like the idea of jail time.

Anyway, so I'm folding cloths wondering how I could possibly fit in and get started for real with her if it were ever possible and by gods grace she were ever possible. Some things came to mind of course. Well Taylor Swift has this camera commercial where this girl gets to tour with her and take pictures of her with her Sony camera. So this woman I like is very beautiful and I was thinking how awesome that would be with her.

She told me she was traveling so I opted to be her chauffeur but heard nothing back about that. I thought it would be a good idea, in that she'd be freed up to prepare and review in the car with her business.

Then there is the idea of being part of her entourage. Get to be with her see that she's safe and all so I'd like that. A lot of this seems like stalking, but the big difference between that and being creepy is that she wants you to. I'm waiting to here that she wants me for something anything.

She has a few properties so I'd be happy to see that those were maintained and cared for. I'd like to see that she was taken care of, and be the one doing the caring for that. The other thought I had was a multi-sport obstacle course type of race thing going on not far from the town she's from and I know she runs and I could mention and invite her to participate in that with me. That would be lots of fun and I think is one of my best ideas. I'd enjoy the travel and since it's not in her town it would be good neutral territory to meet in so I'd think that would make her  more comfortable and less apprehensive about things - meeting someone from online.

The problem and opportunity that is happening though is that she is moving to other internet sites due to a closing of our site which isn't actually going to happen it seems. But that has got everybody looking to go elsewhere and not check messages at the site we were at much anymore. So hearing from her most infrequently now and when I do it's short to the point messages about how she's not coming to the site anymore. This leaves me feeling lost and abandon. She has to be the one to turn this around, I told her how much I care so if she doesn't step up and do something, I don't know what to do. It's frustrating but more-so I just miss her and worry I'm loosing her.

And with that I think of my business and what I can control and take care of, so turn my focusing on those things and advancing on that front. I'm not one to handle standing still, I like moving forward. I don't know if she's worried about me holding her back? She's got it in her head that she's doesn't need anyone, but I worry that's just because it wasn't the right ones for her that she's been with in the past. It wasn't me and I'm not them. I don't think being with someone, the right one, would prevent either of us from moving forward and think that should help that. She's the right one, and I'm the right one for her, but how can I gently club her over the head to get her to see all that?
