Displaying 0 To 0 Of 0 Comments Dear Friends, I know I have not been here in a while…but here is an important story, I wanted to share, and KNEW this was the place to do it…a young boy…killed himself Sunday night. He was from my community…I grew up with his family…both his mom and dads. The sickness of hatred that is so prevalent in our society…must stop…the pain it causes, is just sick…please share the links below. Thank you. Abbyrose! https://www.facebook.com/pages/Rest-in-Peace-Jamey-Rodemeyer/250495344994144 » Posted By Abbyrose86 On September 20, 2011 @ 7:57 pm Hi Cher, it’s been awhile since I dropped in…great round up as usual! » Posted By Abbyrose86 On August 11, 2011 @ 7:12 am Excellent article ad lib. Thanks for writing it. » Posted By Abbyrose86 On August 8, 2011 @ 10:59 am Hi everyone. I haven’t been by in a while…I see I have a LOT of reading to catch up on. My life has been a tad topsy turvy of late….and as such I haven’t been blogging or keeping up on the latest news. Thank goodness for planet POV as I can catch up quick. I hope everyone is well. » Posted By Abbyrose86 On July 21, 2011 @ 10:36 pm Is All That Anger Out There Making You Mad? Kquark, I think you misunderstood the point of my posts. This isn’t just about ME, as a matter of fact, if YOU really READ the post, you would see it has nothing to do with me at all. But I don’t see life from only my own eyes. I was blessed with the gift of empathy. How can anyone with a conscience and a sense of decency, walk around and SEE what is so clearly an unstable and disgustingly unfair situation and NOT be angry! Life is VERY short. I’m 43 now and seriously it feels like just yesterday that I was 20. the years have flown by and during that time, just like everyone I have lived through than my share of difficulties and drama. The stories I could tell. I’ve buried both my parents as well as many loved ones. I’ve known many people who are barely able to survive in our system and who’s life is but a drudgery…and I think it is disgusting. There is too much suffering by too many people. I’m happy for those if you have not had the opportunity to feel REAL hardship or who have NOT had to chose between healthcare or keeping a roof over their head. Good for them…but I think it disgusting that in a nation so full of resources that so many are living paycheck to paycheck and are one illness, one job loss away from utter chaos. BTW…stress kills. Stress causes many problems both physically and psychologically. Economic trauma is devastating to people and families and to pretend that it’s just materialism is naive. Come join me at the homeless shelter tomorrow, where I volunteer every Saturday….the problems in our culture are systemic, not the issue of individual irresponsibility or failure. Perspective is key here, just because some people in a nation have lived one way doesn’t me that others have had the same experiences. Thus it is disingenuous to ASSUME anything about the specific experiences of a great number of people, based on one’s own experiences or lack thereof. REAL people are REALLY suffering throughout the country and I find that unacceptable. I find it unacceptable that there are people in their 50’s with health issues who are working tedious low paying service jobs, without paid time off…just to survive. Do you honestly think those people are happy??? Hate to break it to you…they aren’t. There is no reason that those in the top 1% are living like they do, when so many aren’t able to obtain necessary healthcare or who have to rely on charity for food and shelter. It’s disgusting. Money is a necessity of life in our land. ONE cannot live without financial means and the lack of financial security does lead to a type of serfdom, as it basically leads to an indentured servitude. There are many people who make just over poverty levels working for bad bosses who treat them horrifically and who are unable to quit that horrible job. YOU would be amazed just how many out there live like this everyday, and it take a toll on them, mentally, and physically. How is that NOT like serfdom?? The big multinational corporations are the new nation states and the peon workers of these great enterprises are nothing more than serfs. THE analogy IS accurate whether you believe it or not…I have actually had this conversation with many professors of history, politics and economics and for the most part, those studied individuals too see the similarities in the concepts. Just because most people are blind to it, doesn’t mean it’s not happening. Feudalism was more than just an agrarian culture it was hierarchical system where those born into a certain caste were there for life. The nobles grew rich off the work of their subjects and for the privilege of working the land and eating, the serfs and working people paid taxes to the elite nobility. There are adequate examples of the similarities to our social and corporate hierarchies today. Just because the terms are different and the concepts are slightly different doesn’t mean the overall system is different. » Posted By Abbyrose86 On July 1, 2011 @ 5:04 pm Thanks Adlib and I appreciate that you completely understood the point of my rantings! There are so many myths and propaganda that many believe to be true and as such cause unnecessary misery. » Posted By Abbyrose86 On July 1, 2011 @ 4:37 pm AND I am MOST angry that I was lied to or mislead. As a generation X’er I had the misfortune to come of age in the 80’s after having been raised, and taught by those of the ‘great generation’. I was told that being honest, working hard, getting a good education were all the ingredients I needed to have a good life….that I would get a good job, be able to earn enough to have a good life for me and my progeny. I was sold a bill of goods, that was just NOT true. After 20 years (and having the audacity to have a vagina and not a penis in corporate America)…I found out, I had to sell my soul completely and be without any morals if I wanted to ‘make it big’ and have financial security. Otherwise, I was a liability and dispensable. I learned A LOT in my years in corporate boardrooms and none of it was pretty. It was evil…honesty, integrity and decency are NOT appreciated in our culture…WOW. WOW…I was floored to realize that all I had been taught and all I valued was NOT valued at all by those who have power. Now, I’m partaking on a political career and finding it’s even worse than the what I thought… I’m disillusioned and disgusted. » Posted By Abbyrose86 On July 1, 2011 @ 12:27 am I am angry that people have to work on Holidays and have little time off with their families and to have a life…lest they lose their job. I am angry that so many are just struggling to survive while so many live so high off the hog. I am angry that so many of my fellow citizens can’t go to the doctor…a co worker of mine, a lady in her 50’s is sick and can’t afford to go to the doctor, her shitty health insurance and low pay make it unaffordable! (BUT she has health insurance…a high deductible one…but she’s insured…even though she only makes 12 bucks an hour). HER husband had the audacity to be human and have a heart attack thus thrusting her at age 45 into the workforce, without any marketable skills…the audacity of her and her husband…(sarcasm). I am angry that we accept living as we do in this nation…we are very sick nation…mentally sick…psychotic actually…we espouse the ideals of sociopaths and justify such behavior…it’s pathetic! I can go on and on as to why I AM ANGRY…and as to what bothers ME about our ‘great nation’…but alas if I do, I just might go postal! » Posted By Abbyrose86 On July 1, 2011 @ 12:07 am I can’t speak for anyone but myself…but I I am angry that 46 million of my fellow citizens are living in poverty when there are 10 million living in grandeur. I am angry that for so many the American dream is nothing more than an illusion…a myth, that they will NEVER have the ability to realize. I am angry that millions of my fellow citizens are trying to survive on 30-50K a year, and depending on where they live, that can be a very difficult undertaking, due to the costs of living in those areas. I am angry that corporate execs are making 500 TIMES that of their lowest paid workers, those workers who they NEED to make the company provide it’s product or service, yet are treated like disposable cattle. I am angry that our nation has broken the social contract with it’s citizens and is moving toward a new age of feudalism. I am angry that there are children who are being indoctrinated into a corporate, marketing scam of big business that hopes to enshrine them in debt, pharmaceuticals and indentured servitude. I am angry and I’ve had enough of the bullshit. » Posted By Abbyrose86 On July 1, 2011 @ 12:00 am Well said Adlib…and may I add an AMEN to your comment. At 81, no one should have to toil as if their whole life didn’t mean anything…it’s ridiculous that our society accepts such a concept as being acceptable! I truly believe we have our priorities seriously messed up….,and we have to start doing something about it….it’s not right on so many levels. WE are mere mortals, as such all of us are here on this Earth for a limited time…we shouldn’t have to work ourselves to death for basic survival…that is inhumane. I posted the UN bill of human rights…which was agreed upon AFTER WWII for a reason….the people of the time…had a MAJOR wake up call….and the people in Western Europe today are living those ideals BECAUSE just a few generations ago, they LIVED the alternative…and it was ugly…VERY VERY VERY ugly…perhaps we need to remember WHY such concepts were brought to being. » Posted By Abbyrose86 On June 30, 2011 @ 11:53 pm On December 10, 1948 the General Assembly of the United Nations adopted and proclaimed the Universal Declaration of Human Rights the full text of which appears in the following pages.

While it is true, that most are surviving, there is a difference between surviving and thriving. MOST Americans are not thriving, they are surviving…and that is NOT a happy place to be. As to your contention that we are well paid in comparison to those who live in third world countries and thus to a good percentage of people who live in the world…that is a bad argument, and I’ve always felt it to be so, because it IS a ‘relative’ concept. Their cultures are very different as well, and thus the way of life in those impoverished lands IS much different than it is here in the United States, thus it’s an apples to kumquats comparison and thus is NOT in any way shape or form appropriate. 1st world countries should NOT compare themselves to 3rd world…to do so is disingenuous and quite honestly a strawman argument. And quite honestly, the tools one needs for basic survival is MUCH different than those needed in a supposed ‘civilized’ advanced culture. I could never survive in a culture where I would need to grow my own food, hunt or fish, most American’s could not, regardless of income level, or ability, as that is NOT how most people in our culture live…off the land. HOWEVER in many 3rd world nations, that is exactly how food is obtained. Most Americans could not fathom various generations of one family living together for their whole lives…and counting on their kin for their basic survival….whereas in many nations, that IS exactly how they survive. NOW…the cultural differences MAKE a huge difference. Poverty is actually too high in our nation…46 million Americans officially live under the poverty level. There is NO excuse for that…considering our national GDP and the resources (natural and man made) available in this nation. America is in a shambles…and most people do realize it…even if they are not ‘directly’ affected by it…just drive through any urban setting, especially in the former rust belt to see the devastation and chaos, within our own borders. MOST Americans have learned to tune it out, but they know it’s there. And realize it could be them… Now let’s look at ‘productivity levels’ of the average American…American’s are working longer and harder and there is more month than money for most. THAT leads to serious anxiety…even IF you are fortunate enough to have a ‘decent’ paying job…one that pays more than poverty levels…you have to work very hard and many hours for that pittance, and life passes you by. Time is what most Americans do not have enough of…and thus are miserable and anxious as a result. I could go on and on about what is wrong with our culture and way of life..and thus WHY people are angry…and they have a good reason for their anger. » Posted By Abbyrose86 On June 30, 2011 @ 9:43 pm Excellent points Sue. » Posted By Abbyrose86 On June 30, 2011 @ 10:20 pm Bito…INDEED! Seriously WHAT have they won??? These people should be mindful of the old saying…”Careful what you wish for…you might just get it!”… I’m reminded of the woman who fights to ‘win’ back her cheating husband…seriously…what did she win? BUT A Liar and a cheat…she won the booby prize! » Posted By Abbyrose86 On June 28, 2011 @ 5:40 pm I especially liked your comparison of the patient without a leg….excellent way to put it! Some of the problems we have, may not be reversible…that is scary thought indeed!! » Posted By Abbyrose86 On June 28, 2011 @ 5:37 pm LOL!! I needed that laugh Adlib!! Seriously, though, as an aspiring politician myself…I’m a tad discouraged lately, some of the things I’m learning about the process is not sitting well with me, and is bothering me greatly. As such your piece really resonated as I see it the same myopia and insanity even in local political elections. What the heck IS going on?? Did everyone lose their collective minds? Is there something in our water supply or are they beaming subliminal messages through the TV’s and the cell phones??? Seriously, I’m not one for conspiracy theories…but what is going on is getting ridiculous!!! » Posted By Abbyrose86 On June 28, 2011 @ 5:35 pm Adlib, great piece…the Mad Hatter’s Tea Party does seem an apt analogy for the insanity that passes for political discourse these days. I swear, I feel like I’m living in some sort of alternate universe myself, lately. I can relate to Alice!!! » Posted By Abbyrose86 On June 28, 2011 @ 4:48 pm Indeed we have! » Posted By Abbyrose86 On June 30, 2011 @ 11:43 pm The Professional Left and The Big Sam President Bravo Choice Lady!!! » Posted By Abbyrose86 On June 26, 2011 @ 4:03 pm The Daily Planet, Vol. One Hundred I tend to agree with your assessment…the apathy of most, causes a lot of our problems. » Posted By Abbyrose86 On June 21, 2011 @ 10:05 am Cher what a great edition!!! One of your best and so fitting that it is also your 100th!!!! Congrats and thank you so much for all you do here!!!! » Posted By Abbyrose86 On June 21, 2011 @ 10:04 am ….. on the “BitTorrent” issue… Thanks Buddy and I agree, our system is half assed backward! The people who actually create anything should be those one’s rewarded for their efforts, not those who simply use their money to buy and sell everything… It’s so messed up! » Posted By Abbyrose86 On June 19, 2011 @ 11:13 am Exactly Khirad. I agree completely. » Posted By Abbyrose86 On June 19, 2011 @ 11:12 am OH…another comment on this subject, intellectual property rights are Thus, an artist or another person, CAN create a GREAT idea, BUT another entity can LEGALLY lay CLAIM to that idea…IF they are the ones who PAID the artist or individual for that idea…and THEY, the one who commissioned the IDEA ( and thus paid for it), can LEGALLY FILE FOR OWNERSHIP of the idea….so, with that being said….truly is the ARTIST or creator of any IDEA or concept REALLY the one being f-ed when others USE their idea??? NO…legally the one who FILED the paperwork for ownership of the IDEA is the one who loses money IF the IDEA is used outside their ability to sell. THINK about THIS really carefully….:) » Posted By Abbyrose86 On June 19, 2011 @ 12:38 am Further to my comment, I suggest people research the plight of the Goo Goo Dolls…for those who aren’t fans of them, they are a local band…from Buffalo..YEAH…who made good! (Locally we are so proud of their success but they got screwed royally by the ‘biz’and they actually MADE a stink about it…as a matter of fact, they paid off their ‘debt’ to their ‘master’s in the biz’ and took over their own profitability) It’s a great story… OH and btw…I knew the guys back in the day when they couldn’t scrape together money to buy chef boy ardee or a pack of smokes…and I said to them…and I quote..’you are from Buffalo…you are crazy if you think you will make it big’…OK I officially say it…I WAS WRONG…VERY wrong….I owe them an apology. 🙂 I’m a pessimist sometimes. 🙂 » Posted By Abbyrose86 On June 19, 2011 @ 12:19 am OK,….my 2 cents….In a perfect world, the ARTISTS who actually CREATE and perform, SHOULD be the ones who reap the rewards of their endeavors…however, in our current economic state, THAT is not necessarily how it works. Sadly, too many artists are not business savvy and get rooked by those who have the business sense to realize the VALUE of their work, and as such those who are ‘business savvy’ are able to take advantage of the artistic types, for their own advantage…hence why, I’m not as ready to get on the band wagon and get angry about this… As I see it, it’s not the artists who are being f-ed by file sharing and such, as a matter of fact…I see see such things as an ADVANTAGE to the artists themselves…no,it’s the money men, and business people BEHIND the artists who get screwed in such a situation. IF the artists were smart, they would self market using the WEB and all it’s abilities (think how it was in the age of RADIO and early years of TV) and USE those sites to promote themselves and THEN LEARN how to use the online medium for THEIR own advantage and too sell out their concerts, movies etc and to sell their music and art separately from the ‘BIz”, thus not enriching the promoter and others involved…take away the businessman’s (middleman) advantage in the medium and sell direct to the consumer..but that’s just my 2 cents. » Posted By Abbyrose86 On June 19, 2011 @ 12:03 am The Weekend Music Thread – Water I love that song…and it was my first thought too! » Posted By Abbyrose86 On June 18, 2011 @ 9:51 pm It does appear that this is the only way to get any media attention….sigh. » Posted By Abbyrose86 On June 17, 2011 @ 6:24 pm Welcome back Cher….hope you are feeling much better! Missed you terribly! 🙂 » Posted By Abbyrose86 On June 16, 2011 @ 8:44 pm The Insanity Defense for Trickle Down I tend to agree….until the bottom REALLY falls out and complete chaos takes over…MOST will not do anything to change the trajectory. Sad isn’t it? It’s like waiting for the car crash you see coming, and are powerless to stop it. » Posted By Abbyrose86 On June 15, 2011 @ 10:09 pmComments Posted By Abbyrose86
