I thought I might take a short break in the bullshit of blogging to bring you up to date on what's happening in my world and a few notes on relevance. First of all, I have a new websight for business. Check it out at www.logansvirtualuniverse.com That's Logan's Virtual Universe. The main topic is video gaming. However, it doesn't stop there. If you start looking closely in the next few days, you'll see many more products centered around the solar cell industry and "green" power production for regular people like you and me. Go check it out and comment on what you think I should be selling. By the way, most of the goods are still imported from China, since that's where things are mostly manufactured in today's world, like it or not. Another subject confronting all of us is job hunting. I have a new word on that: relevance. It has to do with a certain window of opportunity we all possess in that world of appealing to Human Resource departments ...

Sadly, now in America, the population far exceeds opportunities, but the president's trip to China may represent a new attitude of cooperation. President Obama's trip to China will take on new conversations in a new light of friendship, I believe, due to the changes in American attitudes toward acceptance of foreign businesses, products, and now, financing for future growth. Who would have thought it possible ten years ago?

America is known for freedom of speech, but the usage of the infamous F word is definitely not free anymore. One mother of a middle school student recently found that out when she was awarded a $385 fine for her son's usage of the F word in class. It seems there was an argument between the young person and his teacher that resulted in the student being sent to the principal's office for using the F word. Surprisingly, the principal contacted the police, a questionable act by any standard, seeing as how the child was using words, not violence. Regardless, the police actually stepped up and made a decision to issue a fine to the child's parents and send him home for a three-day suspension. The mother accepted the fine, but took the issue to the city council and is expected to file a lawsuit against the school district. She is contending the police had no jusisdiction in school matters of non-violence or non-criminal acts. Additionally, she was contacted by local radio ...

Kicking Out Old Rules in Modern Warfare By Ted R Bailey The problem has been growing for a long time, and now it’s time something is done about it on an international scale. After all, the world is “global” now, right? Somebody has to make a ruling. That’s the problem: rules. Every game has rules. Even social gatherings, business or otherwise, have rules, written or unwritten, that facilitate the flow of ….whatever is flowing. Let’s take war, for example. Just this week a story on msn.com tells about a raid on the Pakistan army headquarters in Islamabad, Pakistan where several top officers were killed. A huge gunfight ensued where bullets were flying everywhere, but no one knew who to shoot at. And, for one big reason: everyone was wearing the same color clothing. The Pakistani guards at two gates made the statement after the battle: “We were confused by the uniforms they were wearing.” ...

It's sad, but true. America is not the country it used to be. Even as the top 30 best cities list came out the other day on MSN, few of the American cities, I think only two, made the list at all. What seems to be the trouble? People blame the ecomony, but that's only the symptom. The real cause stems from the loss of a real substantial industrial base. Now that most of our manufacturing has been outsourced overseas, mostly to China, the basis of a the great industrial nation America was from 1900 to 1970 is now gone. Without it America has become a beggar nation of huge debt and joblessness. With jobs scarce, the great consumer life America always enjoyed is gone. Buying power is gone. Stores are dimishing. Cities are becoming delapidated, with entire shopping centers vacant. Large numbers of retail store pads are available for rent, but few entrepreneurs are willing or able to take advantage of them, for one, and they distrust the economy to spring back and ...
