Coining phrases

America is supposed to be a country of liberty and justice- not liberty versus justice.  I think that a fight between those two sides is a sign that freedom and fairness might not be what some people are truly trying for.

Solutions for a Change

I feel like doing a post with a couple of solutions to problems this time.  The two ideas are about problems we have needed to solve for twenty years.

The first problem is immigration, and I would like to share my idea which is that schools and hospitals should officially instead of unofficially become the new Ellis island, and there should be offices where people take snapshots of people, make an I.D. card, and pass out citizenship like candy to anyone who is willing to even pretend to be temporarily allegiant to the United States.  That is my opinion.  And people say "what about terrorism?", but it should be a very simple policy that terrorism and crime are against the law, which will apply to all citizens. Same with healthcare and welfare policies. 

The second idea I have is a component that I think would help the insurance problems.  People should see by now that at least some healthcare is going to be socialized no matter what.  And one of the main things that makes people fight against it is that millions of people don't want to and shouldn't have to be forced to pay for abortions.  Well my idea is for there to be a choice of tax pools for people to fund as part of their taxes, where people choose three out of five funds to designate their money to go to, and one of those is a fund for controversial medical procedures that pro choice people can support.  And people who don't want to pay for that stuff can support something else. People will argue that if it gets paid for at all then everyone paid for it but I do not think it has to be that way and there must be a solution for the gridlock that is more about abortion than many people either realize or are willing to admit.

"Sharing"

My other post reminded me to share about how bothered I am about the way facebook kind of forced me to sign up for "messenger" so now I get a text on my phone because of facebook messages, and I am asked to "share a day" with people.  I honestly think it is kind of sick, and to me it often seems like facebook's next goal is to have everyone watching each other go to the bathroom.  I don't usually say stuff like that, but I think facebook really does have some problems and that really is essentially their vision for the future society that they think they are in charge of.

Candid Camera

At Starbucks today, I noticed that there were four or five video cameras, mostly focused on their employees, and though I don't think it is an emergency that I need to write a dystopian novel about, it does remind me of something I am worried about which has to do with video cameras.  I think that in a lot of places, people are now trying to capture things on video and just punish people later instead of being vigilant and proactive to prevent bad things from happening.  I think this could be terrible, and I can even imagine our whole society being sent to jail retroactively for all our traffic and parking sins and later on for store transaction problems where the whole loss prevention policy is based on erroneously busting people retroactively after inventory mistakes show up on computers. And thinking of situations in schools where there are cameras instead of people monitoring and then the videos can get shared later is just tragic and upsetting to me.  It is an issue that should be monitored closely.

Insecurity Administrations

A lot of people aren't like me but I actually would rather die in a plane crash than get screened by the TSA.  And I feel like there are many threats of additional molestation "checkpoints," such as mandatory health screenings to keep insurance or jobs, physical screenings for military members after a draft that includes females, and of course, everyone's favorite, mandatory drug testing by corporate employers. I really believe that it is not only a sign of our sick society's building pressure of physical and mental violation that is encouraged by our disgusting media, but also a part of the moral communism in this country from the millions of people who are really pretty bad and want everyone to get a share of their punishment even before some of the crimes happen.
