The Donald vs Kim Drama


Frankly, I am amazed that the US government and the government of North Korea are even talking about “talking” at all.

The 180 degree “turn about” exhibited by the North Korean leader in conjunction with and subsequent to the 2018 Olympics is truly magical. So magical in fact that it borders on being unbelievable and disingenuous at best.

The more our President beats his chest, the more the North Korean leader does the same. It would appear that they are two of a kind.

If I didn’t know any better, I’d have to assume they both were a little like the drama queens I encounter everyday in the elementary school environment … both seeking exposure and attention when the fervor concerning whatever they are doing dies down a little.

Perhaps this kind of concern regarding the drama is more telling about me as opposed to the reality of the situation at hand OR, it IS exactly what it is … “Unreal”

 All of us (including me) really do not want a nuclear conflict between our two countries. Therefore, we would  do just about anything to make that a reality … therein lies the problem.
Mr Kim’s Jong-un’s new found power and notoriety (of which he is completely aware of) puts him into a position whereby he is able to twist & turn, plus blow in the wind causing us to be effected by every move he makes.
We’ve all heard this phrase when talking about someone who appears to have the better or upper hand … “ He has us (and the world) wrapped around his little finger.”
How could he not be effected by his new power?

Once you develop the ability to be able to destroy the world and particularly us, all the sudden he becomes important and someone that we all have to listen to.
He really would have to be kind of crazy (if he's not already) to give up the nuclear weapons.

It’s highly probable that our President and the US Government will not see that happen in conjunction with any kind of peaceful negotiations.

Hospitals, Hospitals & MORE Hospitals

Finished reading an article regarding a new medical research center being built by “Children’s Mercy Hospital” in Kansas City, MO. It’s going to be a beautiful building & one of architectural significance from the looks of it. I dare say that it most likely will be pretty expensive to build . Having not too long ago moved back to Kansas City from Houston … there, they are building new architecturally significant hospitals right & left … there appears to be no end in sight as to the building spree. I am not sure there is any more room left in the Houston Medical Center District. Some of my reading has implied that these facilities are of a high tech nature with all the bells & whistles necessary to deliver state of the art medical care to a generation of folks who are demanding such services. I can’t help but believe that all of this will ultimately be reflected in higher health care costs to us the end user. Our insurance rates in reality go up significantly e...

Net vs Brick-and-Mortar

A market battle is raging NOW between brick-and-mortar stores (Walmart) & the net (Amazon). I suppose the perception is such that an internet store can do it better, have a broader selection & be more responsive to the needs of the consumer. It’s possible that the internet store is more convenient & easier to use. Plus, maybe less expensive. The struggle for the internet store is that they have to figure out how to get the product to the end user …. the “last mile” they would say. Shipping costs can be significant. I recall not too long ago, planning on purchasing a product, where it was being offered something like this … “Buy 1, Get 2nd FREE”, the only thing needed to pay on the second one was shipping & handling. The free turned out not to be so free, therefore I couldn’t even buy the first one because of the shipping/handling cost. The collection of sales taxes used to be a big deal, but that is quickly disappearing as an issue & the playi...

Hopefully Roseanne Barr is Feeling the Pain

Racial Prejudice ... is alive & well. Unfortunately ... a significant portion our educational effort focusing on the elimination of the US's racial divide appears to be falling short of its goal. It's a little hard to stomach comments made by rather visible television personalities who most certainly express their hatred of those who are different based upon skin color, etc. These visible personalities have scored big in life's financial lottery, yet they offer nothing more to society in the form of behavior that uplifts us. They in fact tear us down and bury us deeper into the morass of hatred and shame. I am thankful for the fact that ABC canceled Roseanne Barr's show. By doing so, the network is vividly telling the citizens of our country, this kind of behavior and thought is not acceptable. They are telling us that personalities expressing themselves this way are NOT any longer to be tolerated. Reprisals will be swift, clear and permanent. Even in my s...
