Dear Kavips:
In response to your asking, here is why I went to the meeting in Newark High School for the Power Plant. My boss made me. I was pissed off about it because I was suppose to go to my first grader” concert that night, and had to miss it. I got the call at 4:00 from my boss and was told I had to go there ASAP. I said WTF for and he said it was important. I said my daughter is more important, and he said, he could let me go that very day if I didn’t show up for this meeting….
I had to call out of a service call and postpone it till the next day to make the trek up there. and get inside. I saw a lot of other HVAC vans and many that I trained with so it wasn’t all bad I guess.
Sad thing is, I don’t even want the power plant cause I live downwind from it right off Rt. 4, behind the ShopRite…. I think a lot of others were forced like me to go, because we all weren’t too happy to have to be there… But, gotta do what the boss man says….
Signed…
(your buddy)
With this week’s news that women are being allowed to train for combat in the Marine Corp, we open again the topic of proper gender roles?
Should Women be allowed to do what has traditionally always been considered mens work?
As a reminder, here is why gender roles are important… Just because a woman can fight, doesn’t mean she can be ordained!…there are certain roles for certain genders.
10. A man’s place is in the army.
9. The pastoral duties of men who have children might distract them from the responsibility of being a parent.
8. The physique of men indicates that they are more suited to such tasks as chopping down trees and wrestling mountain lions. It would be “unnatural” for them to do ministerial tasks.
7. Man was created before woman, obviously as a prototype. Thus, they represent an experiment rather than the crowning achievement of creation.
6. Men are too emotional to be priests or pastors. Their conduct at football and basketball games demonstrates this.
5. Some men are handsome, and this will distract women worshipers.
4. Pastors need to nurture their congregations. But this is not a traditional male role. Throughout history, women have been recognized as not only more skilled than men at nurturing, but also more fervently attracted to it. This makes them the obvious choice for ordination.
3. Men are prone to violence. No really masculine man wants to settle disputes except by fighting about them. Thus they would be poor role models as well as dangerously unstable in positions of leadership.
2. The New Testament tells us that Jesus was betrayed by a man. His lack of faith and ensuing punishment remind us of the subordinated position that all men should take.
1. Men can still be involved in church activities, even without being ordained. They can sweep sidewalks, repair the church roof, and perhaps even lead the song service on Father’s Day. By confining themselves to such traditional male roles, they can still be vitally important in the life of the church.
There you go…. Women can’t do the work men can.
With Sandy’s approach, words of warning went out to all campaigns.. Get your big signs down for the storm. Feel free to put them up after the storm blows by. Everyone got an email.
Democrats were in full force, and in New Castle County, not one Democratic sign was left standing… By noon all were stored for safe keeping…
There were no libertarian candidate’s signs. As dedicated citizens, the libertarian team scoured the county and by noon, their signs were all stored for save keeping.
The one Jill Stein sign I’d seen, was gone. Secured by the Green Party….
In fact the only signs up as darkness approached, were those of Alex Pires, which is understandable, it being a one man operation, and those of the Republican line up, which apparently has even fewer supporters.
It looks like Kansas, at intersections now, with only Republicans contesting a one man operation….
If the Green Party and Libertarian party can mobilize faster than the Republican, it is time to stop calling the Republican Party a “major” party.
Even the Wizard of Oz had more going for it than today’s Delaware Republicans, who with their daily bumbles are rapidly creating a new definition of the English word pathetic.
The following is a list of corporations that still support ALEC.…. and here is the board….

If you don’t know, ALEC collects corporate money, to hire people to write legislation that benefit corporate interests. They wrote anti union legislation. If you are union, you need to boycott UPS.
They wrote the legislation that bans abortions. and requires women to have things stuck up their privates. If you are a woman, you need to boycott UPS.
They wrote the legislation that bankrupted government. They are responsible for running up our debt, without finding means to pay for it. If you love your money, you need to boycott UPS….
They wrote the legislation that protected Zimmerman, keeping him from being arrested as anyone else would have been, standing over a dead man, gun still smoking. Arrest him and acquit him.. That is what trials are for. If you think Zimmerman should have been arrested a long time ago, and not 44 days later by a state prosecutor because the sheriff was too involved with ALEC, you need to boycott UPS.
UPS funds ALEC…
Until recently, so did McDonalds. Not anymore… So did Wendy’s. Not anymore. So did Bill and Melinda Gates: Not any more.. So did Kraft Foods: not any more… So did Coca Cola…. not anymore. So did Pepsi… not anymore….
But… UPS still does… Make your postal dollars benefit you, and not some freaking cultish society called ALEC… Send your packages FED-EX instead, or use the post office… They have union employees….. And go ahead, do UPS a favor and Twitter them to let them know why you are choosing FED-EX ground, and why you are so angry you don’t care if it costs you a couple of cents more…..
Nothing…….
If someone downloads a Hollywood movie or television series…. is that a loss of profit for a Movie studio?
They would like you to think so…
But most people download movies because they do not have the money to otherwise spend.
Therefore, they would never buy that product …. If it were not available, they would just do without…..
Today, everyone has access to a computer. There is no market for movies copyied on CD and sold on the black market. There is no money in downloaded movies. They are worthless entities…
What the availability of downloaded movies actually do, is to effectively market that product.
How often have you been in a group of strangers with time to kill and get stuck searching cable for a movie?
Do you trust the reviews, obviously slanted so you pick their product, or do you listen to other people and pick one that they have seen and say is good?
You know that answer.
One day soon it will be proven. The reason profits of movies studios and the entertainment industries are up, is because of the ability to “globally” upload movies on the internet…. More people now (or did) have access to “Hollywood” across this globe than ever before… Theoretically, even if one out of ten viewers later buys the product after testing it, that is a boon for movie moguls. Don’t ever think anyone in the Third World will buy without first testing.
Without such glowing reviews from our peers, when it comes to fluffy entertainment, …. we will prefer to spend our hard money on more worthwhile causes.
As a concerned citizen, I am beginning to accept that a boycott of Hollywood until charges against MegaUpload are dismissed … is exactly the precise action that is needed…..
After all, “Hollywood Jobs are at stake.”…..
