Never Able to leave the old

After spending 10 years of my life around people with whom I was directly connected to but whom really didn't give a dam about my well being was educating and enhancing and it had a devastating effect on my future. I went from being blessed to just cursed beyond repair. CO's are people just like you and me. They have to work to make a living and if it weren't for the prison some of them would be homeless in the streets themselves. They are human beings when they empathize and show a minute amount of compassion for the inmate as well as when they don't but these everyday people are subject to the same woes of everyday life that is why most of them spend the majority if not all their time on the inside, by choice, like an inmate becoming institutionalized by a naturally hostile work environment. The hostility of the environment becomes apparent when an inmate for no apparent reason burst out in a violent rage verbally or physically. The hostility of the environment becomes apparent when the CO attacks an inmate for no justified reason. Our environment shapes us and when we spend long hours and days in a prison environment we become like our Veterans over seas. We become overly alert, overly cautious, and overly aware with the hostility of the environment taking its toll on the individual psyche. Sometimes even after we are released we have a tendency to hear the voices of those of whom had the greatest impact on our lives during our time in their custody. Overall the difference is only the side we stand on; friend or foe; inmate or officer. With the right people, in the right place, at the right time, doing dam near perfect stuff what do you think would be the outcome?
     Time is the ultimate enemy to both sides and how we spend it is almost like how we spend our money.  Maybe, maybe not but budgeting is something we all struggle to do whether we have not enough, enough, or more than enough  We just don't know what to do with all of it.

Technological Footprints and Trappings

Technological Footprints and Trappings

Today's vision, who has it and are they in the right positions? Barack Obama has a visionary healthcare reform plan that was recently binded in a 1999 page plan. Like many of the great presidents before him, F.D.R., Teddy Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, J.F.K., Dwight Eisenhower, and Harry Truman all have signature works of their Presidency. For F.D.R. it was the New Deal for the American People, for Harry Truman it was the dropping/usage of the atomic bomb. As Barack Obama and many state and local leaders like him pursue a course that leaves no recognizable footprints or technological trappings they are liken unto the teams of the NBA that has so many teams stacked with talent it is something unseen and unheard. Saturday Night Live made a parody of the many things Obama has failed to do but their hasn't been a president in history whom has been scrutinized in such a short time like him.
In September North Georgia was swamped with flooding and after the flooding more rain. Rain and water are nature's natural cleansing agents, cleaning all of the past iniquities, dirty secrets, stuck on and stained sins, and any other residual evil that will keep Georgia impure. Vice President Joe Biden stated:
"It's not Katrina in its scope, by any
stretch of the imagination but the impact
on their lives, on your lives, we understand
It is Katrina"
After touring the devastation that washed out roads and highways the state of Georgia was reset for Reconstruction bids that brought jobs to a state whose unemployment rate matches that of the national average, as the flood waters in North Georgia ran off into drainage systems into the Chattahoochee causing the river water levels to rise and the flood gates to open. In Columbus, Georgia the Riverwalk was overtaken at certain points damaging light post, benches, trashcans, and logs, symbolically meaning that the run-off will come through and do damage to the economy but it is in the aftermath where we will receive more coal in our stockings. In Georgia, 62% of electricity is produced from coal overall and it takes a man of vision, a man with a successful business mind, is known throughout the state to replace Mayor Jim Wetherington, of Columbus, Georgia who won't seek re-election in 2010. We need a visionary Mayor like J.R. Allen who died preaching consolidation, who can continue that vision, who can see that same vision for Columbus, Georgia. Like Ft. Benning whom was awarded $32million for construction to build facilities to accommodate the Fort Knox Armour School. The opportunity is right as a soon to be vacant Mayor's seat comes up. You have three men who have announced their candidacy for Mayor: At-large Councilor Wayne Anthony; Councilor Skip Henderson; Mid-Town Corporate Executive Teresa Tomlinson; and Spirit Filled Academy Director Zeph Baker.
Will Obama be the Poor man's friend? Has he remembered the forgotten man? Have white people rallied against his visionary healthcare? Is Obama's healthcare his new deal? If so what will be his atomic bomb? Georgia, being the proverbial gateway to Corporate America and a traditionally Red state politically, economically, environmentally, demographically, and culturally and with California on the cutting edge of the American future then maybe Georgia should look to California for awhile and go as green as possible in all those same aspects.
