Social Media Timeline

Well I do. And it seems that because of the explosion of "Social Media" sites like Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest, the blogs like this one have pretty much gone by the wayside. I started this blog a few years after I hosted and ran a website called Totally Delco around 2003. The website, for all it was worth, was just a bunch of links to local businesses, and some local government links.

I soon started posting to and linking on my site on Live Journal with a Blog called "Living In Delco", to complement it. Bring alcohol and politics into the picture, and trouble soon began. I remember having whole threads deleted by someone who hacked into my admin account. And having my whole website shut down because of some asshole troll who went by the name of "Michael Crook" sending myself and my web host a DMCA notice that I was using his picture without his permission (He lost and got made an ass out of himself).

There was the interview with Alex Rose, of the Delaware County Daily Times, about my website, myself explaining to him that I started it because I couldn't find as furniture store locally to buy a mattress.Now in 2019, this blog and my website are hard to find on Google. I googled "I Live In Delaware County" and where I used to be number one out of hundreds of thousands, now non existent.

Facebook is the new norm for people my age and  thirty years older and younger, while the really young ones post on Twitter and Snapchat. 

So with all that I'm leaving some links to various blogs and web sites that I had a hand in starting, promoting, and running over the years.

Stopping The Madness

After the most recent horrific school shooting in Florida, it seems that everyone has an answer as what to do to keep something like it from happening again. This columnist, a former resident of Springfield, has the same old answer. More restrictions.

But Her's are what I would consider to be a direct "assault" on our constitutional rights. In the article, Ms Shaffer wants all gun owners to have a "Gun License", to purchase guns, ammo, even accessories. Her reasoning is, if someone buys a large amount of ammunition in a short time, a "red flag" would come up, alerting the authorities. That alone is an invasion of privacy. Imagine getting into your car, and detectors go off, alerting the "authorities" that you have been drinking. Not enough to be legally intoxicated, but enough for a "red flag" to go up.

And all this information was fed into databases, then shared with others. Next thing your insurance company drops you, your health care provider demands you go to an alcohol rehabilitation, and your neighbors find out. I know, seriously far fetched, right?  Well, actually, Ms. Shaffer's ideas are quite in line, only with guns, not booze.

Madness indeed.

Baby Bradley

I've known Brian Schied for several years. He and his wife Kelly are local Delconians who recently have had a tragedy. They lost their newborn Son, Bradley William Fox Schied just days after birth. Please donate anything at all. Every dollar will be appreciated. Thank You! Update: Thank you for all of your support!

My Opinion Christine

Good Sunday Morning. After reading Christine Flower's "Opinion" about "Privacy" can do more harm than good, with Cell Phones, the "Patriot Act" and "Rand Paul", as the main subjects, I have a real hard time agreeing with Her. Preventing another "911", witch in my opinion was total bullshit if you take a logical approach to that day and the days afterword, the invention of the "Patriot Act" was already written and signed by the majority without even reading it.

What I'm trying to say here plain and simple, is that our government has No Business in our Business. And that includes spying on our cell phones. Really Christine?  "There have been few to no prosecutions of innocent people under the Patriot Act". Oh yes there have been, you just are not privy to the information.

She also goes on to say " I doubt that the U.S. Government is really interested in the host's wife, naked or fully clothed", referring to the guy saying he has a right to have those pics on his phone.
Seems that Cops have no problem in copying and forwarding pictures, The Patriot Act was basically our "Governments" way of breaking the Law of the Land.

Many people say, I'm not breaking any laws, so I have nothing to hide. Well guess what? you have a problem with our government? To them, you're on a list. and that list will someday get you a cot in a FEMA camp, as an "Enemy Combatant". No, Americans are not the enemy here. Spend more time watching the Chinese, who lately have a thirst for our government workers personal information, and are flexing their muscles in the Pacific.

No Place In Hell For Him

Reading this article (If you can stand the pop up and redirects) makes me want to just vomit.  From the article: "The 21-count indictment charging Corcoran with 20 counts of using or inducing a child to pose for child pornography images and one count of possession of child pornography was filed on April 2 in U.S. District Court. The 20-year-old Glenolden resident, already facing 161 state charges, including the rape of a child, was arraigned April 14 before U.S. Magistrate Judge Richard A. Lloret.". 

So tell me, what kind of upbringing did this punk have? Was he "Abused" by his Daddy or Mommy? Was he picked on at school? Judging by his picture, I'm betting he was and I'm also betting that his defense attorney will try to paint the same picture of him. Poor little Johnny...

I hate to say this, but science already has tests that can find human "Defects". Should an embryo be "Terminated" before it becomes a viable Human Being? I'm not one to say, but it seems that in the last twenty or so years locally, there has been many instances of Child Rape and Murder committed by people who all were deemed "Defective". Well actually they are, no one in their right mind goes out sodomizing children or even looks at children in a sexual nature.

So what's to be done about this? Kill them. Kill them NOW. No "Life in Prison", where they get to wake up in the morning, protected and surrounded by their own kind. And to you "Pedophiles" out there reading this: Myself and many others are on to your game. You are not as smart as you think.

Cheers.

It Was Genocide

After reading Christine Flowers blog post about what the Turks did to the Armenians (Christian Armenians) mind you, makes me a bit spastic.  And I love how Obama is now cuddling up to his Muslim Brothers, downplaying the whole idea that the Ottoman empire were upset that the Armenians were "leaving them".
Yeah, right.

Invitations To Author This Blog

The slogan on this blog as been "Musings from a variety of people from Delaware County" now for over ten years. Two other people who have authoring rights have not posted in quite some time, and I remind myself that I also have not. People change, their schedules, jobs, etc change.

I am looking for a few people who would be interested in posting their "musings", i.e, whatever is on their minds. From Lifestyle to Politics, Religion to Race, from what made them happy to what pisses them off.

What I would not want is the old "cut and paste" posts, like I see on Facebook (I do it there also), or the overuse of " the "N" words, as in Nasty. So think about it, and shoot me an e-mail, or respond right here.

Finally? You have to live in Delaware County, or at least have lived here in the past and have some interest in it.

Cheers.
