Fire Safety Through Legislation - "American Bloodlaw"

Below is a copy of a term paper I submitted while pursing a degree in Fire Science in 2003.  I'm attaching it here because this morning's news leads with the tragic loss of over 240 young lives in a night club in Brazil over night.  The fire allegedly broke out from a pyrotechnics display that communicated to the soundproof foam over head and the rest is the repetitive story of too many people, with a rapidly advancing, fuel fed fire and not enough avenues for egress.

I posted links to the tragedy on Facebook and one of the first replies I received was; "Where were the sprinklers?"  If you have a few minutes, read below and see how this tragic history continues to repeat itself both here and abroad.

Respectfully and with prayers for the deceased,

Steve

"At this point, does it matter?" - The Serenade of Obstructionism

Yes Madam Secretary, it matters!  It matters to the informed.  It matters to the concerned.  It matters to the families and loved one's of the deceased.  It matters to Americans and it matters to those who wish to destroy us.  How dare you suggest it doesn't matter?  Your boss and this administration demonstrates mastery of this tactic.  You obstruct, deny, delay and distract until this uninformed, easily distracted society completely forgets what happened and not a one of you - is ever held accountable for your actions or inactions.  So much for the most transparent government in this nation's history.


Here you finally show up after your tragic concussion, dehydration, hospitalization nonsense  and illustrate contempt toward the most valid question you faced?   It's the only question that mattered!  You blamed a YouTube video!  You continued to blame the video, the protest etc... and sent all your media lap dogs after the creator of the video, as these bodies grew cold, their lives hemorrhaging from within them and the memory of what happened quickly being sanitized like a scene from the 1997 hit, "Men In Black." 


Meanwhile back at the ranch, those who voted for you twice are concerned about pressing issues like Lance Armstrong, Kim Kardashian and Michelle Obama's bangs and clothing choice.

What better circumstances could one ask for than to be a part of this deceitful administration, with its' willful accomplices in the media,  a highly distracted and poorly informed society, and to skillfully sing the Serenade of Obstructionism.

Go to sleep America, shhhhhh, it's okay, the socialists are here.

Back On the Chain Gang

“They're going to put y’all back in chains.”  (Vice President of our country and President Obama's 'Chief of Gaff' Joe Biden)

The great panderer Joe Biden addressed a group of Virginian's yesterday, first with his pandering, then with his all too common, and often offensive, blundering. 

First, the Veep addressed the crowd as "Y'all" (not Biden's speech pattern EVER, except of course when pandering).  Y'all, south of the Mason Dixon line, is a southerner's endearing way of saying "you all" (that's a contraction for the publicly schooled).  Here in NJ, a group might be addressed as "you guys" or "you's guys" depending on the region.  In Obama speak, he refers to everyone as "folks," almost to a fault.  He drives me  a little crazy when he uses that term.  In fact, I believe  had O been a founding father, we might have evolved as a nation "Of the folks, by the folks and for the folks," but I digress.  Optionally, some may hear the ever-inflammatory "you people" as Ross Perot learned once upon a 1992 campaign speech, to none other than the NAACP.  Actor and film-maker Adam Sandler hysterically capitalized on people's sensitivities in his box office smash "Anger Management,"  which earned his character an embarrassing tazing aboard a jet-liner.

I'm of the opinion that Vice President Biden is suffering from residual brain damage from his two brain aneurysms that once earned him his "last rights" and since may have left him a bit uninhibited.  The man has no filter and is unable to restrain himself socially.  If he is not affected by that, as the cause for the gaff-machine's daily blunders, then he is just a less than sane, and questionably crazy individual unworthy of our nation's second highest office.

Either way, the man is unfit for this position and certainly is not the person I would want with his unrestrained finger on the nuclear button. I'm beginning to think the Secret Service should keep a tazer at the ready for any time the veep speaks.

It would be hysterical if it weren't so very sad.
