A COUNTRY IN CHAOS

aclu-or.org/blog/summer-racial-tension-and-spotlight-police-use-force

We the people, are the first three words of the U.S Constitution created on September 17, 1787 to establish our nation’s government and fundamental laws and guarantee security, freedom and estate of our natural rights, but yet, our liberated country has been involved in numerous acts of war and destruction since the signing of our founding fathers.  From the American Revolution of 1765, Mexican-American war of 1846, World War II and Pearl Harbor 1940’s, the Korean war 1950’s, the Vietnam war in the 1960’s, Grenada invasion 1960’s, Persian Gulf and Bosnia war 1990’s, Afghanistan and Iraq war in the 2000’s to the present war with ISIS in Libya 2016, and that still does not include our nation’s past violent turmoils with the prohibition and rising of organized crime in the 1920’s, Renegade bank robbers and German espionage 1930’s, the Civil Rights Movement 1950’s, The Watts Riot and Vietnam protestors 1960-1970’s, Crack Cocaine crime wave 1980’s, the Kent University shooting 1990’s to the birth of terrorism and elementary school shootings in the 2000’s, and now the racial tension with the Police! Maybe the “We The People” clause in our constitution should change to ‘Who Else Should We Hate”.  It would not surprise me at all if God threw up his hands in disgust and say “I give up” and set our world on self-destruct.  What “We The People” need to do is settle down, roll up our sleeves and have a intellectual sit down with respect to the other person’s race, cultural background, religion preference and personal opinions and come up with a solution before our freedom converts into martial law like some third world country.  May it be that the Police need more additional training on the weapon of choice in regards to the escalation of force or a better understanding and communication with minority groups or perhaps the opposition should enhance their cooperation with the law of the land because the administration of justice is a world of complexity and accessible to the path of careless due diligence, but something has to be done!  And do not say is not possible because look what we been through and yet we were able to defeat the enemy and maintain a safe haven for our children.  I always been taught, in a biblical sense, that heaven is high in the sky and hell is deep down below, but now I’m starting to think that perhaps heaven might be in the skies like everyone says, but I’m so afraid by the look of things that the evil forces of hell has found a new home.  aclu-or.org/blog/summer-racial-tension-and-spotlight-police-use-force

TRIBUTE TO A FALLEN COMRADE: David Del Bosque

To my brother...David, who passed away on Thursday 09-22-16.  David and I used to hang together quite a bit during our wild times along with his older brother, Daniel, who was one of the most strongest and hardest punchers in town of Orange Cove.  (He once boxed ex-Golden-Glove and former Orange-Cove Mayor Victor Lopez and cracked one of his ribs, which put him in the hospital.)  To not be too explicit about our "crazy times" together, David and I use to follow Daniel around and met some of the most evil and scariest sons-of-bitches on this planet, which even forced me to pack a handgun.  I knew David since the 6th grade and for years he use to call me "Cruzer Mendez", and up to this day I never had a clue why!  Its been several years since I last saw David (Daniel passed away about 5 years ago) and I heard that he died in his sleep...he was 57 years old.  Im sorry carnal that we did not stay in touch, but I guess our separate lives never made this happen.....I'll be missing you..Bro!

MEXICO UPSET WITH THEIR PRESIDENT FOR SPEAKING WITH TRUMP!

Aahh...the trouble begins!  Check this out, Trump is not even President yet and already starting problems with a foreign country.  The people of Mexico are protesting against President Nieto for allowing Trump in their country and conduct a public speech session.  Whew...I'm glad it wasn't Russia!!  Oh by the way, he wasn't raped during his stay.....but he sure deserved to be! www.reuters.tv/v/MFU/2016/09/02/mexicans-outraged-by-trump-visit

LASER WORLD-A Work Of Wonder

It's was 11:00 o'clock in the morning when I entered the Fresno Surgical hospital and the friendly front-desk assistant ask me for my I.D and medical insurance information.  In the past 2 weeks, I've been complaining about seeing a strong glare from both of my eyes and I was afraid that my cataracts had retuned again, which had permanently damaged my left eye with a few blind spots, but now the situation has gone worse because I couldn't make out the words anymore in my Business-10 textbook and I reluctantly had to switch back to my reading glasses.  "You have a smudge on your lens..Cruz" said Dr. Remington, a renown specialized Ophthalmologist from the California Eye Institute...and yes...he accepts Medicare!  then he said, "Let's set up an appointment to clear them up...you'll see a lot better."

I didn't have a clue what took place in a eye-lens cleanse, but to be quite frankly, I was a little jittery about the entire process especially when it comes to a laser beam being shot up inside my eyeballs.  Well, there I was sitting in the patient's chair with my chin pressed against the end of a laser telescopic camera.  "Is this going to burn?" I asked thinking that a long beam of light was going to  penetrate my eyeball like some Star-Trek movie.  "Not a bit" said Dr. Remington "This will only take a few minutes." "A few minutes!" I thought, "What's he talking about?...this is laser surgery not a damm haircut!"  Then suddenly I heard a few crackling noises like the sound of a Police taser gun, but at a lower tone and after a few zaps..here and there...I was all done.  Besides seeing a few floaters hanging around in my vision sight, which is routine after these type of surgeries, I was perfectly fine and actually this whole eye-lens cleaning procedure was entirely painless.  In fact, by the time I got home, which was only 10 minutes away, I was able to see through walls and buildings, in fact, the combination to the Wells Fargo safe is...Ahhh...just kidding...but anyway my right eye went back to 20/20 vision and I was even able to see out of my damaged left eye!  You ask..was I able to read my Business-10 textbook when I got home?  Well.. now I'm teaching the class...what does that tell you!

Laser ( Light Amplification by Simulated Emission of Radiation) technology has come a long way since co-inventer Arthur Schawlow first worked on a concentrated beam of light in 1960, where a patent war between several participating inventors including Schawlow occurred that took over thirty years to resolve because they were all aware of its money-making potential, and now the world of laser technology has spread throughout the entire world in almost every aspect of human production.  From revolutionizing the communication realm with the help of fiber optics came the invention of the computer where modern laser technology have connected us to the internet-network and TV channels.  Laser technology has also improved the commerce and entertainment market with the supermarket checkout scanners, CD's, DVD's, laser printers and security holograms on credit cards, but the biggest breakthrough of modern laser is the benefit of pain free eye-surgery. which has greatly induced the needs of general anesthesia and invasive eye surgery.

In fact, laser eye surgery has become such a precise and specialized medical field that it's end results of miracle cures have been broken down into several isolated categories, for instance, Beley-Femtosecond laser treatment, which is used to reshape the cornea tissue and improve eye-vision.  Lasiks laser treatment used to correct near and far sightedness. Laser Thermal Keratoplasty treatment-for far-sighted vision.

Recently, advanced science have made new discoveries with the aid of laser technology, for instance, the studies of atomic physics and chemistry where laser beams act like "optical tweezers" to manipulate biological samples such as red blood cells and microorganisms.  What seems so very hard to believe is the successful advanced stages between the ancient testing of the very first laser ray of the 1960's to the current role of painless eye surgery, which in reality has only been a very short path of 56 progressive years, but to what extent is to become of human technology in the next 50 years?  Will there still be a dominant market of a Laser World or will there be another creator such as Arthur Schawlow in the near future with the next invention of human miracles like...uhh... maybe... perhaps...Time-Travel?  Hmm...it makes me wonder!

A HABIT WORTH KICKING!

It's a no-brainer to know that the cell phone has advanced our world of communication technology, which among its many purposes are made for emergency situations, for our music pleasure, to download movies and video games, easy access to the internet, and the list goes on and on.  Unfortunately the downfall of using the cell phone is.....We Cannot Keep Our Children Off Of Them!!  They use them during driving, dinner-time, going to the restroom, work-time, church sessions and even in the classroom if they can get away with it.  So what are we showing our next generation...I realized that it seems nearly impossible to stop this addiction from continuing, but I personally feel that this fiasco is totally out of control.  So what can we do about it? Should we start balancing our child's life by monitoring their usage obsession, which includes ourselves? (yea..I've seen you on Facebook)
I've heard stories of families, who are doing their part in combating this serious issue, for example,  collecting cell phones from family members during dinner time and getting their couch potato kids involved in local sports and outdoor activities, but this on-going dilemma also needs out-of-home attention like from our local law enforcement by giving very expensive fines to cell phone drivers, and from our workplaces where a job-candidate is asked to watch a short training film on policies against cell phone usage while working, which also includes internet surfing, and then afterwards follow up by making them sign a contract before being consider for hire, where progressive deductions are made to their payroll checks every time they are seen conducting non-work related business on their cellphone and I'm sure there are other great ideas out there if we all put our heads together, but something has to be done!  Before we have a drastic increase in the death tolls of future doctors, scientists, engineers and school teachers due to cell phone driving accidents, but then again human technology is consistently changing and quickly advancing day-by-day where cars will drive by themselves and man-like cyborgs will replace human labor...let's just hope many human lives are not sacrificed to get there!

ANSWERING TO THE SINS OF WAR

A 9-year bombing campaign on Northern Laos to block supplies from entering Vietnam during the war left approximately tens of millions of unexploded bombs on it's land, which had killed many of its native citizens including children.  Today, President Obama announced that $90 million dollars will be sent to the country of Laos for the following three years to several pre-existing organizations to clean up or dis-assemble the bombs. www.worldatlas.com/as/la/where-is-laos.html

With our economy in constant up-and-down turmoil my question is??
Although the cause of this humanitarian project is applaudable are there any other reason we are being so generous from increasing a $5-million dollar fund to $90 million?  Does it have to do with North Korea?  If not then should we charge the country of Japan for the damages done in Pearl Harbor and should we do the same for Hiroshima? Or are these the circumstances that lie behind the sins of war?  Then why pay the $90 million to Laos?  After all our country been in constant, foreign and domestic, battles since the founding of our fore-fathers.  Who pays for those damages? Should it be charged toward the ones who started it? What about 9/11?...Iraq?...The fight against ISIS?  Who pays for that? *Note-A international civil lawsuit paid a large amount of money to the survivors of the 1983 Beirut barracks bombing that killed 241 U.S. and 58 French servicemen.  Should we start keeping a tab? boingboing.net/2016/.../watch-president-obama-visit-la.html Boing Boing
