I am here to say that is one of the most serious diaries I have ever written. Pittsburgh Steeler Ben Roethlisberger seems suffering from head trauma from a motorcycle accident he was in years ago. This is terrible. For those of you have men and women who suffered head injuries in Iraq or Afghanistan, you need to tell people here what is going on. I have met far too many veterans to know this is the case with him.

Roethlisberger's personality has changed, from the accident, I am sure. It is a shock that no one has pointed this out. This happens to our veterans far too often. Our veterans are blamed for changes in emotions and changes in personality for things they do not understand.

Know this the case, Ben Roethlisberger NEEDS help, and he needs to stop playing football. It is the truth, he is not himself, and he won't be until he gets proper medical treatment.

Why are we fighting to keep an economy alive that is so fundamentally flawed? It is a question I put to all of you so-called progressives. I say this because I am quite pleased with current developments.

I am happy to see banks Wahington Mutual fail. I am happy to see newspapers like the San Francisco Chronicle go out of business. I am happy to see GM on the ropes and on the verge of collapse.

Why? Because I am progrerssive. And I am coming to the conclusion that I may be the only progessive here at DailyKos. But it is not surprising.

Why are the beforementioned things progessive? Because these are companie that keep America from achieveing true prosperity, true productivity and true PROGRESS.

I'm writing today on behalf of a group called "S.H.A.R.E." It is a self-governed organization that provides shelter for the homeless in churches Seattle. One of the services the group provides is buss tickets, two a day, to get to and from the shelters across the area.

This may not seem like a big deal, for the people who stay in the shelter, it is a lifeline. S.H.A.R.E. provides housing for people are trying to move themselves out of the homeless cycle.

The Seattle mayor, in a backroom deal, recently cut the funding for group's bus tickets. Why? No one really knows. However, he does have a rather open hostility towards those who are poor.

It is interesting to me that so many people blame oil companies for the rise in temperature of the Earth's atmosphere. Everyone has their pet theories, but I am simply going to state a fact: Coca Cola Company and PepsiCo have taken more water out of the planet's biosphere than
any person can imagine. And let us not forget the millions of gallons of water taken out of the biosphere through the use of bottled water.

Take for example the civil in Sudan. What happened there? Drought. Two agrarian groups of Arabs and blacks who had lived together cooperatively for hundreds of years began fighting over the lack of water. The water in the country just **disappears** somehow, and no one knows why.

Did you know that Coca Cola was the largest employer in Sudan before the civil war started? That it had one of the biggest bottling plants in all of Africa? Did you know that then Coca Cola then sent those Coke products to the United States? Effectively stealing water from a sovereign nation? It is more than likely that Coca Cola caused the drought that caused the civil war in the Sudan?

Last year, I said that Barack Obama would be the Democratic Party's nominee for president. I was loudly mocked. Why? Because I said that African American voters would deliver the South for Obama, and that Hillary Clinton would be where her candidacy would die. I showed people a map of the black population, and simply stated that thee was no way Hillary could win. And I kept showing that map when people doubted Obama's chances.

What I said last year:

Blacks are more than 12% of the overall total population, but we make more than 20% of the Democratic Party base. And about 60% of those voters are concentrated in the South. African Americans enjoy a demographic advantage for this primary season.... and they should exercise it.... Tomorrow really starts today.

Fellow Kossians told me that black people wouldn't vote lockstep Obama. That they weren't organized. That they couldn't get the word out. I pointed out one simple thing: they never go to black barber shops.

We have a way of talking and complaining about things in a way that you white people will never know about. We do it when we get our hair done. And I'd like to tell you all what we have been talking about:

We all think Barack Obama is an Uncle Tom.

A policeman walks to you and says "hello." What is the problem with that? Most people would say nothing. I wonder why.

One of the basic rights that Americans hold is protection from SELF-INCRIMINATION. Now that is a really big deal. You have a right not to make statements that can have you imprisoned.

A policeman can't just walk up to you and say "hello." A policeman has to have JUST CAUSE. That he has to have a good reason. A good reason to infringe on your liberty. Now surprisingly many people don't know that they have this right. They assume it is okay for a cop to leisurely approach you and say "how ya doin'?" That is a very dangerous thing.

I am working on passing my bars to be a lawyer. Oral bars. I didn't go to law school. I am working with a group of judges and a lawyer friend to do so. All of the judges give me interesting projects to train to me to think like a lawyer. Most lay people would be surprised to know that the law is not based on LOGIC. It is a common mistake people make when they pay attention to certain cases and say they make no sense when in fact they make perfect sense.

The law is based on illogical thought. The law is not a craft, it is an art. You have to be very creative to practice it. Which is a very interesting thing, because most people don't have a creative bone in their bodies. And that is why they make fun of lawyers. I don't know why people thick that lawyers aren't creative. They know how to make things happen out of nothing. That is why I got involved in this profession. I'm just a clerk by the way.

I am a Hillary Clinton supporter. And I don't want Hillary Clinton to accept Barack Obama's offer to be Secreatry of State. I think it will simply be the biggest mistake of her political career.

Why? Because I don't think it is a serious offer, and I am quite certain that the president-elect plans to fire her.

I have experience in management, and Barack Obama is behaving like a manager who plans on firing a troublesome employee.

How do you fire a person who is a thorn in your side? Tell them that they are "great." That is how I always did it. I never told the employees I was about to fire that they were doing a bad job. I always told them that they were doing great.

You are walking down the sidewalk when you approach a police officer. The officer says hello to you and asks you if it is going to rain. What just happened?

That police officer just broke federal law. A police officer has to have just cause to speak to ANYONE. In layman's terms, that means he has to have a good reason to disturb YOUR peace. Get it? The weather is not a good enough reason. Neither is being polite. All a policeman is allowed to do is watch you pass by. Period.

Is it possible to have a "friendly" conversation with a cop? NEVER. All conversations between citizens and members of the police organizations are always considered adversarial. Ask any cop. They are trained to think this way. They are trained to use weapons with one thought in mind: all citizens are potential adversaries and to keep their guard up.

"Fight 'em over there to make us safer over here," has long been the battle cry of the Bush administration. Unofrunately that philosophy is failing miserably for the nation's police departments.

With more than a billion bullets a year are being used by the U.S. military annually in Iraq and Afghanistan, police are facing a bullet shortage. Combine that with a voracious Chinese appetitie for base metals(zinc, copper, lead), rising energy costs, and the falling dollar and you have a perfect storm of conditions which are making the nation's streets less safe.

The price of pistol and rifle ammunition also has skyrocketed not only for law enforcement agencies, but for civilian shooting enthusiasts and hunters.

"What Do You Think You Are-- WHITE?"

When I was in high school that was the question leveled at me, because I didn't act black enough when I was in high school.

You see being black didn't mean you were supposed to be trying to get good grades. Or reading books. Or talking intelligible English. It didn't mean being on the Academic Decathalon team. It didn't mean being involved with Junior Achievement.

No, those things were for white people. And the fact that I did those things, meant only one thing-- that I wanted to be white.

Yet another sad sign of the times...

Citing a warming climate and sprawling development, officials with the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race said they were implementing permanent logistical changes that in recent years have become the norm for the March event.

The ceremonial start for the race in Anchorage, Alaska will go only 11 miles-- seven miles shorter than it usually is--and according to the Los Angeles Times, will be done on trucked in snow.

The trucking in of the snow is kinda funny if you think about it. Using a dwindling precious resource to truck in another dwindling resource, the cause of which is the dwindling resource used to truck in the dwindling resource.
