If one is not paying attention, without realizing it – today he or she is being sold a bill of goods which is nothing but lies, twisted truths or outright deception.
I love how what was good during the last administration is suddenly now not good (on a national level) even though nothing has changed. Not a single thing has changed since the Democrats supposedly took over the White House, just as nothing changed when Nancy took over congress. All these “we’re gonna go this and we’re not gonna do that” bullshit is just that. Everything “W” wanted “W” got, while everything “O” wants is not being allowed to pass. Sure, the right wing talkshow hosts make it sound like the big “O”s gonna push through his health care bill, we all know that its gonna be made to look like he’s gonna succeed then at the very last minute, it will be defeated. Remember, the insurance companies are part of the make up of rich pigs which pull all the string’s – and as long as money is being made, ain’t nothing gonna change.
This is capitalism at it’s worst.
Nothing is legit anymore, especially when it comes to education…

Anyone out there have experience with on-line collages??
Well, all I can say is don’t do it – because it’s debatable if any of them are real.
Maybe it’s the ‘for profit’ status these institutions tout, maybe it’s because this writer is reminded of the I.C.S. (International Correspondence Schools) of the 1970′s, or maybe it’s because this writer’s wife is finding out the hard way that places like the Pittsburgh Institute of Art on-line are only interested in ripping you off through continuious harrassment and lies.
I thought it was interesting how even though her company has an education program which pays for accredited collages, this one in particular continues to harass and demand fees which should be directed to the company. This reminds me how the city of Derby once went after me for property taxes which my mortgage company should have been handling, needless to say I now have a different mortgage company which allows me to pay the tax’es myself.
Did I mention how a Peoples Bank – wait, People’s United Bank – tried to scam me out of a $99.00 fee – which they called an “un-collected fee” on my checking statement?? Well, when I got the notice in the mail saying that I was being whacked for $99.00 for un-collected funds, I knew something was wrong, especially after being informed via the BBC News about scams US banks are now doing to raise more capital.When the branch VP started to really hammer me, that’s when I knew I was in the right and they were in the wrong – and she knew it too.
When Wolf got an emil from Greg, we both saw a fatal mistake he made: out of the blue, he mentioned that Verizon would not accept a payment that’s not invoiced. Whoa, I thought this was the Pittsburgh Institute of Art, guess not…
Turns out that after much research, almost none of those people at the on-line school are real.

What I would like to know is how much real value does an on-line degree hold, compared to one from say Sacred Heart in Fairfield??
What happens to people like ‘the truth’ who used to run the Derby Politics website before he was shut down for telling like he saw it??
Does this silence him forever, or does he come back under a different identity??
Last time I checked, we still have a right to free speech, and with that right should come the right to free opinions of any nature. Well, I guess this is ok as long as those in power feel safe and secure behind their veil of false pretenses and lies… One thing I’ve watched the neo-cons do is spred the wildest lies to the mass’es by repeating the same lie over and over until it becomes accepted as fact.
What happened after 9/11 is a good example of that. How I wish I had recorded all the media statements and news broadcasts of that fatefull day, because the fairytale version which was shoved down our throats by the right is very different than what really went down. I mean, honestly – the first commercial fight out of the US winds up being the bin-laden family so they could be protected in France??
Hands up for all those who can smell bullshit.

We live in an age of greed.
Everything is done today for money, nothing is done for the good of mankind. Even the premise of Global Warming turns out to be a total scam, one with the bankers were behind. While I still agree that we do have a direct effect on the climate, I don’t like how the ones with the power are handling this grave matter. I had to laugh, I was reading on the BBC News just today how after the US and Russia hammer out the next nuclear arms treaty both sides will still have enough war heads to destroy the entire planet a few times over still…

And how about jobs?? What jobs would be a better way of defining the situation.
“W” did an outstanding job of getting rid of our manufacturing base by allowing tax credits for US corporations who offshore American jobs. Nice, huh?? When “O” decided that e was going to put the kabash on this, all these corportate pigs came out and shut him down. Once again it makes no difference how is in the White House, he or she (Sarah Palin will be next in line) is just a puppet, nothing else…. The last real president of the U.S. was J.F.K and look what happened to him…

“The Cult Of The Amateur” talks about how sites like Wikipedia are destroying everything because the barrier between the (so called) experts and amateurs has been broken down.
Well, that’s the only good thing to come out of this decade if you ask me.
I’ll be back soon. In the meantime, Question Authority and don’t trust anybody over 55.
Anarchy, Peace, LOVE and Freedom…
