I am sitting in the poker room at the casino waiting for the wife to get us rich, maybe.  While waiting for that to happen I am easing my last book I have on Kindle/iPad and watching other people trying to get rich at the poker tables.  I am sitting here getting not rich or poorer.  There is a room next to this one where there are other people trying to get rich betting on the ponies and dogs; I again am not partisapating.  As usual I am watching the world go by; I am observing people, places and things.

The future of our country

The election is getting near not to long ago seemed it might not ever get near. Many people have been saying that this might be a very big election in out history as a country, then there are some, which includes me, think it might be the most important in the history of the country. As of now, the day after the election, it is very close but Trump still has a chance. If he looses the country will change for the worse. I wrote the following about 6 mos. ago and it seems to me that after the last election; but I this a better term for that event is a Take Over.  I watch the news from time to time and I see the craziness going on in the streets.

The reason we have rules is that we have people, and people are sometimes dishonest cheats. The rules are put in place to prevent the dishonest cheats from winning unfairly, because they are despicable thieves who would steal what rightfully belongs to someone else. Nobody likes a cheat, except perhaps other cheats or those who stand to share in what the cheater steals from the honest participant. That is, nobody with an ounce of integrity, understanding the inevitability of chaos if half of all participants in an event are permitted to cheat, would agree to participate. Therefore, any system which is premised upon rules requires that independent arbiters, acting without bias and favoritism, intercede to enforce the rules so that each contest is determined by merit, rather than fraud an...

This Blog will Continue again with New Insights from my Fertile Brain.

I am going to be changing the way my day begins and ends and what happens between. Maybe start with coffee or juice and go out for a short walk down the hill and then up the hill to get my heart pumping; hopefully that blood will be going to my fertile brain, so when I get back home I will be sitting down at my computer and allowing all that wisdom and information to be spread all over the internets. Or, I might after my walk I might stop at a coffee shop to unleash my wonderous thoughts from there; probably a combination of the both. This is the plan, at least right now. I am giving myself this challenge and I am determined to full fill it, I am determined.  See you guys on Monday, which is three days away. https://davidobstblog.blogspot.com
