An informal draft of self-rattling of my thoughts…
401s – were they not a matter of choice. were people not asked if they wanted to participate in the 401 plan. was it not a form of gambling in the stock markets with their money? so, looking at it that way, I find myself taking on a different view than my initial outrage that these poor people lost their money. certainly I have compassion for these people, yet, is it not true that when you choose to gamble, you need to take responsibility for the outcome.
banks, wall street, car companies, insurance industry…would it not be the same truth for them. whether is was gambling, incompetence, poor management, or whatever, should they not be responsible and held accountable for their own mistakes or failures. it is true that in some instances concerning these companies or people, there was outright greed and theft. but does not an individual have the recourse of the legal system to pursue the culprits.
as we look back on history, has it not been the way of life that “in with the new, out with the old”? companies come, and they go, for whatever reasons; resulting in change. in some cases, much needed change. the fat cat on the block had his run, now the new “change” on the block is in the “power” or “money-making” chair. has this not been the way of life?
so what is so different in today’s economy. why was it decided to throw all the taxpayers money in those particular people’s ocean of “historical wealth”. why do they get a re-run at the expense of the innocent?
looking at it in these terms called reality, then I have to go back to my beliefs that “you reap what you sow”, or thats called life buddy, so move over, and you take responsibility for yourselves.
i think of all the innocent taxpayers that were minding their own and living within their means. yet they are being expected to pay for those who lived in those fancy houses, drove all those fancy cars, lived outside their means, and gambled with their money.
so instead of stepping up to the plate and being accountable, they are yelling for and taking bailouts. what is the sense in all this? were is the fairness for those who lived a responsible reality?
Just my draft, notes of my thoughts.

Off Tweeting on Twitter
So Sorry! I’m off Tweeting on Twitter these days and having some fun while I am doing it. Nice way to meet people and throw some humor back and forth. I knew there were all those websites and people out there, but who would have thought they all would come right to my front door.
I am Jakamacs on Twitter. It’s where I am when I am sipping my first cup’o cofe in the mornings.
A Twitter Conversation
READ the Conversation with the INVENTORS of TWITTER:
Couldn’t Resist
The Spider turned him round about, and went into his den,
For well he knew the silly Fly would soon come back again:
So he wove a subtle web, in a little corner sly,
And set his table ready, to dine upon the Fly.

There he stands in his stinking clothes hat on side ways and he tells you he has made millions of dollars from his great ideas. Pulling out a copy of Penthouse or Hustler magazine he shows you a picture of a girl he says is his wife. Another magazine shows a picture of some great car which they borrowed from him to use for the article. His next magazine shows you a great house that has featured in the article on how the rich live and eat.

Scrubbed! CNN yanking tea party ‘embarrassment’ …Demands YouTube remove video of fed-up citizens berating reporter…Posted: April 19, 2009…7:40 pm Eastern

Cable television news network CNN has attempted to block a video on YouTube.com that shows “tea party” protesters in Chicago confronting the network’s reporter Susan Roesgen over her allegedly biased and “not fair” coverage of the event.
Members of Founding Bloggers.com were on hand to videotape the crowd’s response to Roesgen’s report, in which she badgered protesters on air, summarizing her report by describing the tea party as “anti-government, anti-CNN, since this is highly promoted by the right-wing, conservative network Fox.”
Roesgen’s report included arguments with the tea partiers, tossing out contrary positions and demanding her subjects justify their positions, as well as an antagonistic interview with a protester whose sign read, “Obama is a fascist.”
“That’s not representative of most of the people out here,” charged an unidentified woman after the CNN cameras were turned off. Confronting Roesgen, she added, “You are not talking to regular, mainstream people; you picked people to talk to. … We’ve watched what you’ve been doing here, and it’s not fair.”
The man Roesgen had been interviewing right before CNN’s coverage stopped was also captured by the Founding Bloggers camera, saying, “We don’t have any respect for CNN, because it doesn’t respect us.”
When the blog posted the video on YouTube – showing a portion of Roesgen’s report, followed by its own footage – however, the clip was scrubbed and replaced with the message, “This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by Cable News Network
, Inc.”
