Numb on a Saturday

Hello world! I'm sitting here watching Van Helsing on TBS; the kids wanted to know if it is scary and I told them "no". Funny how we can become desensitized to things that scared us when we were children. It is a good popcorn movie, but so much today the movie is based on how many effects they can cram into a movie rather than the story itself.

I look forward to seeing the Dark Knight when I get around to it. Hopfully its not all flash and no substance.

Freedom is within our grasp

The Founding Father laid the groundwork for this noble nation and the liberties that they restored to us as a citizen of the United States of America.
Consider the following quotes
Taxes and Regulations
A wise and frugal government, which shall restrain men from injuring one another, which shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government, and this is necessary to close the circle of our felicity. Thomas Jefferson, First Inaugural Address.
Gun Control
Laws that forbid the carrying of arms... disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes... Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man. Jefferson's "Commonplace Book," 1774_1776, quoting from On Crimes and Punishment, by criminologist Cesare Beccaria, 1764
"No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms."
Thomas Jefferson, Proposed Virginia Constitution, 1776, Jefferson Papers 344
"They that can give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." BENJAMIN FRANKLIN
The IRS and the FED
"If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered." Thomas Jefferson
"We must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt. We must make our selection between economy and liberty or profusion and servitude. If we run into such debts as that we must be taxed in our meat in our drink, in our necessities and comforts, in our labors and in our amusements, for our callings and our creeds...our people.. must come to labor sixteen hours in the twenty-four, give earnings of fifteen of these to the government for their debts and daily expenses; and the sixteenth being insufficient to afford us bread, we must live.. We have not time to think, no means of calling the mis-managers to account, but be glad to obtain subsistence by hiring ourselves to rivet their chains on the necks of our fellow suffers. Our landholders, too...retaining indeed the title and stewardship of estates called theirs, but held really in trust for the treasury, must...be contented with penury, obscurity and exile.. private fortunes are destroyed by public as well as by private extravagance.
This is the tendency of all human governments. A departure from principle becomes a precedent for a second; that second for a third; and so on, till the bulk of society is reduced to mere automatons of misery, to have no sensibilities left but for sinning and suffering... And the fore horse of this frightful team is public debt. Taxation follows that, and in it's train wretchedness and oppression." Thomas Jefferson
"If the present (Continental) Congress errs in too much talking, how can it be otherwise, in a body to which the people send one hundred and fifty lawyers, whose trade it is to question everything, yield nothing, and talk by the hour?" Thomas Jefferson - 1821
As a citizen of this great nation we can see by the policies laid down by our forefathers are far removed from the United States of today. These are important times for all Americans as we approach the dawn of a new start for America. Ask yourself, which candidate espouses the beliefs in the constitution and original policies our forfathers gave as a gift to this county?
There is only one that promises to begin our return to the united states we were given. There is only one that will begin the work of returning the government back to the people.

Join the Revolution, we must take back America
Please forward this to everyone you know, if you are a great American and a patriot.

A shining light in the Darkness

I don't know how this could have happened to the greatest country in the world. We have been given the sleeping pills of deceit, and have begun our slumber. While I was born in the 60's it I don't remember the revolution that took place. While historians look back and see division I see unity. Where people made the difference; Martin Luther King, Robert and John Kennedy, and many others, It seems that the government never wanted that kind of power to ever return to the people, and slowly, methodically we have been stripped of our red, white and blue banner of freedom and draped in the fog of stimulation and darkness of greed. The Constitution gave us the right to bear arms so that if we disagreed with the government we could start a revolution. The government has protected our rights in this regard, but will limit us to muzzle loaders. The constitution guarantees our right to free speech; but if you say the wrong thing and you are labeled a traitor. The United States saw the need for revolution because of taxation without representation; We are represented, but are taxed on what we earn, what we spend, and when we die. We pay taxes on what we save, what we invest and what we share. Our forefathers stood up when their tea was taxed. What will it take for us to stand up, to raise the flag of liberty and of justice and say that it is enough? Perhaps we are so over stimulated that we will never awake from our slumber again.

I feel a tide has come by which we will be unable to escape. But without hope, there is no point in living, so I choose hope. I choose liberty, and I choose democracy.

It is time for us to elect a leader that will strive to return us to the foundation our forefathers left us, a leader that will return the government to the people. We can choose to have our ears tickled by sly tongues or we can show we will not stand for or liberties to be stolen from us, cut off of us a piece at a time.

I see a glimmer of hope in the man that is Ron Paul. I see the shining light in the darkness that the government has placed us in. It is time for democrats and republicans to set aside their differences and vote their conscience, vote for freedom, vote for the light that is slowly fading. A patriot will stand up and do what is hard even though it might not agree with what the status quo is. Look beyond the makeup, the rhetoric and the celebrity and think for yourself. All hope is not lost, you can make a difference. Make our founding fathers proud; secure the future for your children and their children and return the government to our control. You have a choice my fellow americans, chose liberty.

Blessed with a Curse

Welp, I have the pleasure of having inherited horribly bad teeth from my parents. My teeth need to be replaced, but alas I don't have the funds. The result? One big fat infection, which isn't good considering I don't have a spleen. I went to the hospital and got some meds and they seem to have helped. But I find out while I'm there that my blood pressure in my other arm is sitting at 165/105. Not good. My doc is going to up my dose of Blood pressure meds to see if we can get it under control. I guess sitting on my butt and smoking 2 packs a day doesn't help either. So can you see the New Years Resolution coming?

RCA HD50LPW52 Color Wheel replacment

While I love my DLP wide screen it has become necessary to replace the color wheel several times. Since there is a lack of clear instructions on how to do this, I'll try to share how it's done.

Tools Needed

• Phillips head screwdriver
• Torx based Screwdriver (its the one that looks like a star)

First lay the TV on its face. Be sure and make sure there is nothing you will be laying the face on, because it will scratch the face. Remove all of the screws on the base only, there is about 20 or so of them so place them where you won't lose them. Remove the back plate.

Now remove all of the screws that attach the top to the speakers. Carefully slide the base away.

There is a cover that the lens is poking through, carefully remove that. You will see an aluminum looking piece that has two screws on it. a small wire coming from it and a copper colored tape. Carefully remove the wire and the tape wire. Now unscrew the color wheel housing.

Remove it, and replace it with the new color wheel, and tighten it up. Make sure you don't tighten it all the way, just so it is snug and reconnect the small plug wire and tape wire. Now do everything in reverse and you should be good to go. I will try and get pictures the next time I have to do this.

Politics have become a reason for a sale

If you have been keeping up with the political scene you can see what sheep they think we are. Will real debate on topics ever return rather than the scripted debates they feed to us, in such portions that we no longer care to understand the real issues, We need someone who will restore the might and dignity to the United States, and then place its future back in the hands of the people.
Rule by fear, is not leadership but slavery. Greed and lust for power is not a virtue but a perversion of our obedience to the country's laws. Taxes are needed to provide us will all the large projects the government is responsible for , but who is the accountant giving us an accurate ledger of how are money will be used? I see another "special day" for a sale.

Man, the most foul animal

Man is a disease to this planet causing nothing but grief and an imbalance to the natural order of things. The Internet has become a place full of trash, with bits of wisdom sprinkled in but the wisdom become foul because of the putrid rot that surrounds it. What can we do to get harmony back, what can we do to cleanse the stink that minkind has brought to this great gift we have been given?
