Hurt at work again

Well I am out of work on the injured list again for a while. I don't know when I will get back to work.
The doctor seems to think I have a messed up knee. So how did I mess up my knee?
Well here's my RANT!!!!!

I hate CRACK HEADS!!!!!!
Cocaine in all it's forms out side of legitimate medicine is pure evil. All those who deal it and use it are touched by it's evil. I don't care if it's just a weekend recreational thing or a full blown everyday user. They are all part of a trail of evil, death and destruction. Each and every person who buys or sells cocaine is just as guilty as the next.
Cocaine's trail of death starts in South America and works it's way to the streets and bar's of our towns and city's. Each step of its journey leaves a victim. That list of victims includes the RAIN FOREST where the forest is cut down to grow the coca plants and the toxic run off of chemicals used to make the drug kills its streams and rivers.
The people who live in the growing region suffer under the rule of dealers and growers and guerrilla fighters who fund groups with money from the sale of drugs.
Then there are the people who suffer under corrupt government officials in these countries. There are police men and solders who die each day in these places fighting against this drug. When you get to the U.S. the list gets more personal.
Our society pays a price for each time a drug user is jailed, hospitalized, each time a child is taken from a addicted parent. Day after day men and women fall victim to cocaine. Some cocaine users will die slowly over time others crash and burn an a few weeks. Cocaine kills it's older users by trashing their vascular systems with heart attacks. Young women are seduced by the drug and some end up selling there bodies to anyone for a chance to take one more hit. If the drug doesn't kill them then HIV/AIDS will. The cost of this drug to our nation in lives, property and resource's is enormous.

No one is unaffected and anyone who touches cocaine to use or sell are complicit in it's evil.
They are just as guilty of death and destruction as ALL of the others in the chain of evil it took to put the cocaine in their hand. From the manufacturer who cut and poisoned the forest to the dealer who shot the Police Officer. Each time they use cocaine they have pulled the trigger on a victim they will never know.

I was chaseing a CRACK HEAD--- thats how I hurt my knee.

Sign of the times

I was advised of a group of individuals who may have been casing a local car dealership in order to steal the cars.
It worked like this. Six or more Black males dressed well, enter a car dealership. They wonder around the show room and front car lot distracting the staff. One at a time individuals from the group will attempt to locate keys to the cars on the lot.
Most dealer-ships have inventory keys and keys to new test drive vehicles somewhere in the showroom area.
These suspects tried one at a time to gain entry to the area where the keys were stored when they were able to narrow down where they were kept.
A staff member at this local dealership who worked in the administrative area where the keys are kept had to ask several of this group’s members to leave the office area. Finally after members of this group tried to gain entry into the administrative area time after time, a staff member advised them that they needed to either talk to a sales person or leave. They left. A report was made.
My guess is that they were a chop shop crew.

Sorry folks it's been busy out there.
I have to tell you that the state of the world at large leaves me feeling like I am watching a slow motion crash. The economy,war, bird flu, food shortage, gas prices, crime, global warming.
Have I left anything out? Oh yes the nagging feeling I left something turned on in the house.
So what can we do about these problems? As an individual it's hard to see any hope of effecting such big problems. So why worry about it? Well it's because someone cares about you. When I say worry I mean do what you can. Save money, drive less, write your congressman and senator.
Take care of your self, eat right don't waste food. Stay informed about the world. The best way to take these problems down is by keeping your self informed.
Strife and turmoil seem to be humanity's favorite past time. The old saying that a journey of a thousand miles starts with the first step is true. To change a world you have to start with yourself.
The world that you knew is slipping away every moment of everyday. Change is creeping in like a tide. Stay informed watch the signs and you will be on the high ground when the water comes in.
