Nuclear Conflict

I DO NOT want a nuclear conflict to develop between the North Koreans & the United States.

In fact, NO MATTER WHAT IT TAKES ... a nuclear conflict should be avoided at all costs.

It's pretty much unsettling to listen to the leaders of these two countries casually talk about pushing buttons. Of course, it is much more complicated than pushing buttons. Nevertheless, joking about it is somewhat of an insult and most distasteful, plus incredibly disrespectful to those of us who will have to pay the ultimate costs.

The most likely victims of such a conflict will be innocent folks who really have nothing to say about it. As in all conflicts, the ones who die are the little people. Chances are high, that some sort of survival strategies are in place for the elite leaders of our countries. These leaders decide how many people will die for whatever they think is important.

AND, if the loss of human life is not despicable enough ... consider the long term negative impact upon  the earth itself.

I get it. The North Koreans are wanting something that the world (US) refuses to give and vice versa. Obviously putting everyone between a rock and a hard place. The paradigm associated with this world discussion better change pretty quick like. From my perspective as a victim of this potential conflict, I am outraged that we are coming so close to the brink of disaster.

If the "BUTTON" comments are just locker room talk with the hope of generating a few laughs, I want something to be perfectly clear ...

I AM NOT LAUGHING

Behavioral Modification

I have spent the last week or so being around young school age children in our local school district. Ages ranging from Prep-K up to early high school. I have to admit it's fascinating to watch how the system works in order to make these young people comply with acceptable behavior. For example ...  be quiet when they want to talk, sit still when they want to dance, study when they want to play, stand in line when they wish to wander and the biggie to say that which is acceptable to say as opposed to speaking honestly about what's in their hearts and minds. As somewhat of an outsider, I watched the enforcers take action against those who failed to comply. Amazingly enough, the students did exactly what they were told to do. BUT ...... As soon as the enforcer was gone, they became who they are ... KIDS!!! You got to love them!!!

Harley Davidson

Harley Davidson (Kansas City) announced that they are going to close their manufacturing plant sometime in 2019. I think they described it as bringing into alignment their manufacturing capacity with the harsh reality of a shrinking demand for their product. The plant costing millions of dollars to build was put into play around 1998. So we are looking at a plant that has been in Kansas City only 20 years. Plus, when they threatened to shut down the plant a few years ago, the State of Missouri and employees came up to the plate again to provide them what they needed to stay. I recall a significant investment by another GIANT corporation not too long ago in Kansas City. Interestingly enough, they secured some nice funding breaks from the city and state assisting in its construction. Millions of dollars were spent to build the facility. The local chamber participated in the ribbon cutting joyfully singing the corporations' theme song and basking in the belief that the states'...

Sex, Lies & Videotape (1989 Film Title)

Regarding the most recent Trump news & his former National Security Advisor, Michael Flynn lying to the FBI & of course getting caught …. Here is how it works in the world of transportation & this bit of information might be helpful to our future leaders, if they take the time to  read this LOL. When a driver is involved in an incident that causes damage to a company asset or to someone else’s ass(et), the driver is faced with the following decision … Report it to the company?? Or Not??? The drivers are always advised by me to report it. Now, the nature of the incident may lead to a driver’s firing, reprimand (involving retraining) or a simple incident dismissal (subject to the demand for that drivers’ services … that’s another story LOL). The point here is that the outcome is uncertain, but at least there is the strong possibility that the drivers’ job will be preserved & ALL forgiven. Now, if the driver tries to cover the incident up &/or deny ...
