Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said he will not insist on visiting ground zero during his upcoming trip to New York, following an outcry by New Yorkers, the New York Sun newspaper reported on Friday. (9/21/2007)

Why are you people crying that you don’t want him to see a Giant Hole in the Ground?
Ask yourself  a few questions before you start your drum pounding and chanting.
Was he in charge of his country when we were attacked?
Did he have a hand in the attacks?
Does he have the potential to be a Leader of Change in his country?

In case you are having problems with this quiz the answers are Yes, NO, and Yes.
He does not understand the United States and Americans. His only exposure is in the confines of meetings with politicians, generals, and seeing soldiers. Has he experienced the sign waving peace-nick chanting to bring the troops home? NO. Has he experienced the pissed off flag waving demonstrator shouting Terrorist Go Home? NO. Now the big question, should he be exposed to it, Hell Yes.

Let the guy visit the site that so many of our citizens are so empationed about. Let him see how visceral the American public can respond to his presence. Let him see the outcrys of the public against his country-men and his policies.

The news media here in the United States is polluted by the liberal media that is consistently trying to spin everything their way and the conservative side focusing on the extreme differences of the two. Both sides near sighted in their views fighting constantly in words and media. Overseas the press is scrubbed, sanitized and edited to display what the state wants to display. The only way to understand is to see it.

Much like this man needs to see how we have been affected by the 9/11/01 attack and how deeply the emothions run, he also needs to learn by visiting Germany and some concentration camps.

Let him visit, let him see the protestors, let him see the hole, let him see the rebuilding, let him see the memorials, let him interview and listen to our people. All of this may help to remove his head from the dark hole it currently resides inside of protecting him from realities of the world.
Affect the decision makers, change the people that can lead change.

thats all

So you built a couple of web pages and now you’re a (oooh…. ahhh) a mighty Web Master! In that case I can’t use you. I can’t deal with the attitude.
But if you have put a few sites online and you enjoy doing it, I need some help doing piece work. It would be a real bonus if you know your way around PHP, Perl, and javascript but it is not required.
I need some help with my work load and I am looking for someone that wants to practice, hone their skills or just plain enjoys building sites. Send me an e-mail if you are interested.

Why am I posting this blog… I really dont know. I guess because after a couple years of writting for school I figure I may as well continue the routine. Of course I am planning on having some sort of valuable content to someone. It may not be of any value to you but it will be worth something to someone.  So here it goes… oh sorry that was a false start. Now I am rethinking what I am going to write. Also I need to get away form this basic template.. 🙁

Many peopl have said that my speeling is at rocious, but I really don’t care, so if it bothers you, sorry but I ain’t not gonna change. Don’t comment on the contracted double negative I know how to write. I just can’t type as fast as I think.

I have a few projects going on and some of them I need help with. *IF* you are a web designer, graphic artist, sales person, programmer in php, cgi, asp, C++ etc or if you are one of those IT geeks that helps other peopl with their machines I am interested in hearing from you.

Oh, to answer the question posed at the beginning of this posting. Why? Because I can.
