"I have no confidence that being told it will be done has anything to do with seeing that it does get done.” This statement by Metro board member and former chairman Mortimer Downey speaks volumes about the current state of Metro--pathetic.

I am a Christian
I am a Christian. Some think that we are fools. There are an estimated 2.2 billion Christians worldwide--that makes for a lot of fools.
"We are fools on Christ’s account, but you are wise in Christ; we are weak, but you are strong; you are held in honor, but we in disrepute. To this very hour we go hungry and thirsty, we are poorly clad and roughly treated, we wander about homeless and we toil, working with our own hands. When ridiculed, we bless; when persecuted, we endure; when slandered, we respond gently. We have become like the world’s rubbish, the scum of all, to this very moment." 1 Corinthians 4:10-13

WWJD?
An evasive Vatican must face clerical sex abuse directly - San Francisco Chronicle
What Would Jesus Do?
Jesus wouldn't have protected those higher-ups who knew, or should have known, of the outrageous crimes committed against children by allowing them to hide cowardly within the walls of His church's headquarters in a sovereign foreign country.
Jesus didn't run from evil; He confronted it head on. So should His church.
Send Law and Pell back to the scene of the outrageous crimes to face the consequences--even if it's only to face their "flocks" in the places where the outrageous crimes were committed and covered up while they were in charge.
Jesus had no use for hypocrisy or cowardice.

A-team
During my working years managing engineering professionals I was blessed to have “A-teams”. When managers screw up (and I did plenty), the “A team” always did whatever was needed to get us through the crisis, many which I created with my own errors, omissions and shortcomings. When I panicked, “A-team” people were there to calm me down and reassure me that “we got this”. They always “had my back”.
“A-team” people are bright and capable people with positive, “can do” attitudes. When innovation is required, they’re innovative. When hard, and sometimes monotonous, work was required, I could always count on them to get the job done, no matter what it took.
“A-team” people are a manager’s gold. I am very grateful for my “A-teams”:
HDR (pre-management): Una Zeck
BTML/WSA: Susan Shaw, Steve Bates, Ronnie Lauziere, Bob Vollmer, Partha Sarathi, Pete D’Orazio
Sverdrup: John Lynch, Steve Bates, Theresa DeFore, Earl Wilkins, James Murray
Volkert: Doug Garrison, Ron Lauziere
If I forgot anyone, I am profusely sorry. My memory has never been all that good; it’s especially poor these days. I love you guys!

North Korea Arrests University of Virginia Student for 'Hostile' Act - NBC News
Uh oh!
Uh oh!
"KCNA said Warnbier was under investigation for 'perpetrating a hostile act against DPRK after entering it under guise of tourist for the purpose of bringing down the foundation of its single-minded unity at the tacit connivance of the U.S. government and under its manipulation.'"

stupid TV commercials
Think about it.
Companies spend millions on stupid TV commercials: insurance companies, car companies, cell phone and ISP providers, cable and satellite TV, beer companies and many, many more.
What about this
would prompt anyone to buy insurance from Progressive? the "price gun"? Progressive's TV commercials are an insult to our intelligence. It doesn't make sense that a company that's spending millions for stupid TV commercials would be able to give us cheaper insurance than one that isn't. Not only are the commercials stupid, but they're annoying too. Wake up, people!
That brings me to my next subject: stupid TV programs...

Independence Day
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6mF6XCE4Pn8
Well she seemed all right by dawn's early light
Though she looked a little worried and weak.
She tried to pretend he wasn't drinkin' again
But daddy'd left the proof on her cheek.
And I was only eight years old that summer
And I always seemed to be in the way
So I took myself down to the fair in town
On Independence Day.
Well ,word gets around in a small, small town
They said he was a dangerous man
But mama was proud and she stood her ground
But she knew she was on the losin' end.
Some folks whispered and some folks talked
But everybody looked the other way
And when time ran out there was no one about
On Independence Day.
Let freedom ring, let the white dove sing
Let the whole world know that today
Is a day of reckoning.
Let the weak be strong, let the right be wrong
Roll the stone away, let the guilty pay
It's Independence Day.
Well, she lit up the sky that fourth of July
By the time that the firemen come
They just put out the flames
And took down some names
And send me to the county home.
Now I ain't sayin' it's right or it's wrong
But maybe it's the only way.
Talk about your revolution
It's Independence Day.
Let freedom ring, let the white dove sing
Let the whole world know that today
Is a day of reckoning.
Let the weak be strong, let the right be wrong
Roll the stone away, let the guilty pay
It's Independence Day.
Roll the stone away
It's Independence Day.
