Meanwhile, I think it is fascinating that Romney has the nerve to attack Obama on a jobs creation platform since while Romney was governor of the illustrious Commonwealth of Massachusetts we had a jobs creation ranking (yes, I actually lived in the Commonwealth at that time) of 47 out of 50 by state. By the way, that isn’t a number I just pulled out of my shorts. This little factoid is according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. And just four years after he exited the premises Massachusetts shot up to 11 out of 50, according to the nonpartisan Massachusetts Taxpayers Foundation. Hmmm. These numbers don’t seem to support the contention that Romney’s expertise as a businessman qualifies him to run a country. Perhaps he is planning on selling stock to get us through this crisis, like he did to get by in his “poor Boston University college days.” Selling stock, so he and his wife could both attend BU! At the same time! Without working!  Are we hearing this America? Has anybody ever had the privilege of not working his or her backside to the bone trying to get through college, let alone adding a wife to the mix and attending a prestigious Ivy League university? It is obvious to everyone but him that he and his wife come from the disassociated stinking rich. They have never been in any real danger of losing anything, except maybe their cluelessness.  Interestingly, Obama just recently admitted that he finally paid off his student loans just eight years ago. Me, I’m still paying, and I am thankful every day that our unemployment rate is only 8.2%. God, things could be so much worse.

In December 2011, the House of Representative in the Philippines filed an impeachment trial for Corona due to his ruling that is partially with the former President Gloria Arroyo. It was during Arroyo’s term that Corona was put in the position. The other case that was filed against him is not declaring is true asset as required if you are a public servant in the Philippines.

The grueling trial took 44 days. The judgment was voted by the members of the Senate of the Philippines. Twenty Senator voted Corona as guilty while 3 thinks he is not guilty.  Corona was convicted under Article 2 of the Articles of Impeachment which is the non declaration of the Statement of Asset, Liabilities, and Net Worth (SALN). With this Corona was removed as the Chief Justice of the Philippines.

Who will be the next Chief Justice? Who is illegible to be the next chief justice? What now? For the meantime, the Chief in Charge will be acting as the Chief Justice until they find a new one to replace Corona.

Granted, most people have political opinions along with taking some position on the balance control between left and right: perhaps left -4 or right- 6. Most people enjoy a good debate about issues and the various positions of elected officials. That’s just normal, just human. The problem is those folks who crank the dial all the way over to right or left and then crank a bit more until the dial cracks, left or right “11.”

Some people get paid to be this way. They have talk radio shows or newspaper columns which focus on a narrow base of people with narrow opinions and narrow tastes in opinion. Give me enough money and I’ll rant about a political point of view, and if the money’s good enough, I won’t even ask which side I’m hired to promote. That’s not personal, it’s business. A well researched analysis takes time and effort, and if it pays far more to blurt out unsubstantiated opinions in a loud voice, why not?

I’m concerned with ordinary people, some of whom are actually friends of mine. These are folks I can sit down with over dinner, share a glass of wine and have interesting discussions about art, literature, music, business, food or films. Yet, when the subject of politics comes up they instantly switch from Dr. Jeckle to Mr. Hyde, becoming raging, frothing beasts and throwing all rationality out the window.

Some of the remarks I’ve heard from my friends on the far left include: All business people, capitalists and the wealthy are immoral liars who only want to enslave workers. Or, Israel is the most evil society in history, their citizens are religious thugs who are subjugating the poor Palestinians, who are all kind, sweet and innocent. Or all poor and homeless are saints and anyone who doesn’t give them food or a place to stay is a heartless right wing beast. Or, if you’re white, you’re automatically bad. Any other race or ethnic group is automatically good. And in these positions there is never any gray areas. It’s all or nothing.

My friends on the far right say any tax on a business is persecution and a way for the unworthy to get a free ride. Or global climate change is a hoax perpetrated by a conspiracy of left wing scientists. Or, anyone who falls on hard times is a loafer, a criminal and probably a drug addict. Or, any woman who isn’t content to be barefoot and pregnant is a commie slut. Or, anyone who isn’t a devout Christian is a tool of the devil. Again, there are no gray areas.

And, what can I say when friends morph like this in my living room? My eyes widen, and I nod nervously, hoping that they’ll calm down before throwing one of my lamps through a window. If I dare disagree with them, and they are packing a weapon, I’m toast.

Sometimes the only way to out is to try to change the subject. Often I try, “Well, how about those 9ers?” But, unfortunately, I don’t follow football, so sometimes I make that remark in the middle of basketball season, and they think I’m stupid. Oh well, better stupid than having someone on my roof with an Uzi, screaming, “Kill the infidels!”

Man we have got a long way to go as a species. The turmoil that surrounds this mortal coil at times can almost be unbearable. The topics of global climate change, failing economies, human rights violations, starving populations, globalization, genetic modification, drugs, cloning, war, genocide, and what hell can be done about it! The average person scratches their head and deems the subject too depressing, makes some comment about the futility of the matter, and proceeds to normal animal behavioral function. Critical thought has seemed to have eluded the “Hive”, and this “Hive Mind” mentality is a mold to be broken. No longer do we have to be slaves to a system put before us when we can collaborate to form new systems all together. With the plethora of information available to the world via “the web”, we can learn, build and organize in ways that never would have been imaginable in previous times. New ideas on ethics and philosophy are rising from this climate of calamity like Open Sourcing, Anonymity, and the quest for “truth” and “knowledge”. I feel a different climate coming, one where we will take manners into our own hands and live in a way that is beneficial for all. All children of all species for all time. If we as individuals and communities could occupy our minds we could do amazing things as a species. Taking control of our food, water, and energy needs will be a primary step, while eliminating systems of pollution and implementing standards for universal sustainability. Why should we idly stand aside and bide our time when we can do something about. “But what can I do?” asked the one who’s lost his way. The answer is quite simple really. First you’ve got to care. About something positive, anything…really! Then you’ve got to ask yourself: “What am i good at?” Whether it be cooking, gardening, music, engineering, programming, writing, speaking, organizing,  literally anything you can do can make a dramatic difference in shaping our reality, something we forgot we had the power to do! Educate your self about whats going on in your community and begin to learn about things that would be beneficial. If we can shed the skin of apathy then our sight will be renewed.

Excellent government needs excellent parliamentary candidates if they are to succeed in the pains taking effort to create new jobs and maintain a growing economy. The biggest setback in politics, is finding the proof that new investment will go into job creation.

Politicians are prone to made promises that will either not keep or break at some point, are made but not fulfilled, surveys reveal that most politicians do not keep their campaign promise; they will say anything to the gullible voters just so they can get into the office.

Prime ministers and presidential candidates are the ones in particular, who say that if and when they get elected by the public, their vision manifesto will automatically manifest itself, and they will be able to make stringent changes immediately.

But the task is not as straightforward as they imagine, actually to implement their ideas and vision, takes a great deal of unraveling old policies in reality, when a prime minister or presidential candidate gets into office, their hand are tired by the bureaucratic system, and they realize that changing the system to their way of thinking, is not quite as simple as making campaign promise, because the government office is regulated by an ancient system of greed and power.

 Promises are a comfort to a fool, if you really believe what politicians have to say when they are under the influence of the cheering crowd, overawed by the occasion, emotionally carried away in the referendum of new opportunity. Instead of exposing the faults and deal decisively with one issue at a time, they try to swallow a camel and strain at the gnat. One of the principles of democracy is free speech with ethical solution and a conscious regard for the lives of other people.

This is a long and protracted struggle with authorities, candidates insist upon going down that route, mingling different kinds of emotions with empty promises, it really is time that politicians, face up and down up, by putting some action into the vision they want us to believe they  promoting.

They are driven by the enthusiasm to convince voter of their intention, but instead, we get a mix bag of political rhetoric and endless disappointment. There is always someone in a powerful position to veto a good idea. If candidates want our votes they must be prepare to fulfill their promises.

Much doubt has arisen from years of negative thinking, if candidates wants our votes, they must be prepare to put investment into worthwhile fundamental schemes that guarantees changes.

            To improve sentiment towards the government, drastic changes must occur. This type of change would involve a complete overhaul of the political system. A change to the electoral system of the Philippines would be an opportune starting point for change. Currently the Republic of Philippines uses a mixed-member system that is unique in some ways. It is a non-corrective system in a mathematical sense. It does correct in a way that allows for smaller parties to thrive typically. The first vote is done using the plurality formula. Once the first vote is completed, a second vote is held that uses a list system, but parties that have members elected by the plurality vote are not to be represented in the second vote. This stipulation is what serves to encourage the participation of smaller parties. To improve the country, this system will be disregarded due to the second vote seeming to be non-effective on the political environment. This could be clearly seen as only 57 representatives are elected in the second vote in comparison to the 230 representatives in the first vote (Central Intelligence Agency, 2012).

            The electoral system of the Philippines must take a different direction. All 287 seats of the lower chamber of the Philippine Congress should be chosen by way of Single Transferable Vote (STV) by region. The Philippines is composed of eighty providences. In this system, 250 representatives would come from the eighty providences as dependent with the population of each providence. The other thirty-seven would be chosen by the FWOs through absentee ballots as representatives of the interests of Filipinos that have migrated to other parts of the world. The STV system would allow for voters to feel that the power would be more distributed evenly throughout the lower chamber of the congress.  The current mixed-member system attempts to encourage the participation of smaller parties by use of the second vote with the existing stipulations of excluding parties that are already “at large” by way of the first vote. This exclusion of “at large” parties from the list vote takes away credibility from representatives selected by way of the second vote. In utilizing the STV system, representatives would be chosen more based on the true will of the people.

            The issue of constituency would be resolved by dividing the seats among the eighty providences and the PWOs. The PWOs are deserving of the thirty-seven representatives due to overseas Filipinos representing such are large portion of the population and also representing a strong economic support by funneling funds back to their home country. The representatives for overseas Filipinos can be seen as a long-term issue as the overseas population has a large portion of the population for several decades and continues to rise with net immigration rate of -1.27 immigrants for every 1,000 individuals (Central Intelligence Agency, 2012). This means that more people are emigrating out of the country than into the country. Therefore political representation of overseas workers would serve as being a representative microcosm of the real population.    

            The STV would have some barriers to its effectiveness as any electoral system would. The complexity of the STV system in a mathematical sense would result in the population questioning the results possibly. This issue can easily be addressed by making the results available for public examination and allow to be examined by an independent body that is free from political influence and as free as possible from corruption. Possible evaluations could be requested from international organizations that investigate issues of alleged political corruption. A second barrier would be the manpower and effort that would be required to compute election results. In overcoming this issue, technology can aid in computing the finalized results of the legislative process.

            The other branches of the political system would utilize other electoral systems. The Philippine senate would utilize a district level vote to elect 80 representatives through use of the alternative vote system.  Each district would elect a single representative, and the overseas Filipinos would vote based for a representative based on their providence from which they originate or associate as a home of record prior to emigrating. The Philippine Senate would address the issue of constituency as each representative would answer to the voters of their providence for their actions. Between the two houses of the congress, constituency will be a clear them as can be seen in the thirty-seven representatives from the lower house being representative of overseas Filipinos.

            The President of the Philippines would be elected through a plurality vote at a national level. The major difference to the structure of the executive branch would be that the President and Vice-President would need to run on the same ticket as opposed to how the President and Vice-President are currently elected on separate votes. The authority of the President would be greatly limited and divided among the other branches of government to answer the concerns that the public would have about political corruption at the Presidential level. Throughout the Marcos era and post-Marcos era, the executive branch of the Philippine government has been cited for numerous instances of corruption and abuses in altering legislature for purposes of self-interest (Haynie, 1998). In light of prior presidential corruption, several checks would need to be put into place. Firstly, the executive branch’s ability to alter the constitution would need to be removed. The power to originate laws should be provided exclusively to the legislative branch. Alterations to the constitution would require a vote from both houses. The declaration of martial law would require a joint majority vote from both houses of the Congress. Similar, major decisions that were made in the past by Presidents would be removed from the power of that office.

            The judicial branch would serve as being independent from government and politics. The judicial branch would have two highest courts. The first would be the Supreme Court of Appeals. This court would maintain the ability to provide judicial review. Decisions made by the Supreme Court could be referenced by the lower courts as case law to affect other parties. The lower courts would operate on code law with the exception of Supreme Court decisions that would be able to be referenced since the Supreme Court does hold judicial review. The other court of significance in judicial branch that holds a status of highest court would be the constitutional court which would be similar to that of Sweden in that it would hold judicial preview in examining Congressional decisions to provide advisory decisions on proposed legislature. The Supreme Court of Appeals would consist of thirteen justices with lifetime appointments selected and appointed by the President upon approval by a majority of the providential governments. This facet of including providential governments in the approval of justices to the Supreme Court further checks the power of the national branches. The Constitutional Court would not be chosen by the government, but the twenty-five members of the Constitutional Court would be chosen by the legal professionals throughout the country for five year terms in which five seats will be filled each year.  The selection of the members of the Constitutional Court would also serve to disseminate power away from one centralized point.

            In conclusion, the use of the single transferable vote system in the lower house of the Congress with the alternative vote being used in the upper house would serve to balance the power among the various differing portions of the country while still maintaining stability and a strength of the legislative branch of the government. The executive branch’s use of plurality in electing a president would serve to allow for that office to be elected in simple manner that would be easily understood by the people while realizing that the legislative and judicial branches along with the providential governments would be given enough power to effectively check the executive branch and limit presidential powers. Challenges do exists with this system as would any system that would be put into place in an area that is heavily concerned about corruption, but the limits and processes to check various offices would assist in curtailing future efforts to create a political environment of corruption. The blending of various different facets from different systems would provide the Republic of the Philippines with an electoral model that serve as a starting point to address many of the concerns of a country that has survived such great exploitation and corruption as has been seen during some of the prior regimes.

Read: The White House Insider Reports in Chronological Order

You can just picture it: your mother standing in the middle of the room, frozen on the spot, the look of sheer terror on her face. From your perspective as a little three year old toddler, you look at the point where your mother’s eyes are transfixed, then ping pong back to her face, and back to the spider, and in that split second your own fear is confirmed. In your mind, and as a natural survival instinct you learn that if that little thing can scare my ‘big’ mama, big because as a child all adults are huge, then that little thing is very dangerous.

You live with the fear, brewing within for years, and becoming bigger but yet unnoticed. Twenty years later however, if on the good sane planet, you do receive a deathly spider bite while on vacation because you threatened one by being fearful, is it possible to say that you were the only creator of that reality? History is as much part of our reality as our thinking today, and we can never as human beings, unless we are born as adults, have complete control over the events of our history.

Oh, but then, how I digress! The issue was not about how reality comes to be, but about beliefs and how those beliefs make the person. The famous Bible quotation is, ‘as a man thinks in his heart, so is he’. Obviously, there is no correlation in that statement between the fear brewing within, and the eventual spider bite. It just assumes, I was thinking of a near death experience, and the deadly spider bite came because my vibration matched it. It does not, in any way mention that there is a Law of Least resistance at work.

Alas, I digress yet again, from what I initially set out to ponder. There has been a lot of talk lately about which Presidential candidate accepts the rights of those ‘terrible’ people that are doing funny things to other people of their own gender in private, and which Presidential candidate does not. Mine is not about Presidential candidates either, for I have no knowledge of politics. Mine is to wonder… some years back pre-marital sex was a taboo. Such a taboo, that in some communities, it was not even discussed in jest, let alone as a serious family issue requiring well planned choices.

Yet, I have watched, in my lifetime no less, the issue of pre-marital sex move from a taboo, to a topic worthy of open discussion. Even in the most Christian of homes, who of course present as the trendsetters on morality and this is a morality issue they say, parents sit with their children now to ‘guide’ them against this ‘bad’ behavior. Yes! Pre-marital sex has moved, in my lifetime, which is way less than five decades, from a taboo to bad behavior. It figures, it never ever was a taboo at all, except we feared that it was.

Seated upon my speculation stool then, I wonder, is it not possible that the ‘fear’ of this new gay/lesbian taboo, is more about our earliest fears, firmly planted in our minds of the potential of the wrath of God released upon the corporate body of humanity if we dared commit it? Is it not possible that our sudden interest in what people do in the privacy of their bedrooms, and that we now strongly feel should have legislation against, is more about ‘me’ than about them? Is it not possible that an act, that has no life threatening implications on anyone whatsoever, other than of course to the extent that sex predisposes one to HIV/AIDS, is so frightening because we think we will die under the ‘wrath of God’? Is that not why we urgently need a head of state to discuss it?

I am not lesbian, and I am not in support of or against the gay/lesbian lifestyle. I have no business concerning myself with what consenting adults choose to do in the privacy of their bedrooms. They should have the freedom to choose! I hate caviar! I know people who love caviar! I’m I running around needing a president to legislate against it? Let them drink what they like if the taste suits them!

I am however concerned that people are allowed to carry guns legally, guns that they use to kill. I am concerned that adults rape, molest, and destroy children, turning them over to realities in their history that scar them for life. I am concerned that we would rather waste time thinking about ‘harmless’ personal habits, that health wise fall in the same category as drinking alcohol and smoking cigarettes, than thinking about how to make our world safer and healthier for our children. In my view, it is selfish, depraved, and altogether immoral. It reaches to the highest possible levels of immorality!

Why aren’t there more voices calling for more stringent rules against carrying fire arms? Why aren’t there louder voices supporting incarceration for life of child molesters? Why is there such lackadaisical support of better health plans for the majority? Please tell me there is one Christian, one morality fundamentalist, just one who can see the stupidity of the pro/anti gay-lesbian rights talk, over other pertinent life threatening issues!

India is a developing economy; India boosts a lot being a part of nuclear club, G8 nations club and much more.

In reality the common citizen who pays taxes does not care about all this.

As a common citizen, I look forward for better infrastructure in terms of better roads, 24/7 power supply, efficient inexpensive medical care, proper drainage system, helpful disaster management in terms of crisis, but I guess we all just pay for it and get a very little in return.

Ask a local politician in my country: “the surrounding areas are developed but not mine?”, the best answers are listed below:

1. Required funds are short
2. Approval not received from concerned government authorities
3. My party is not in power, so I will not get the required funds for develpment
4. In the last election your locality voted against me and MANY MORE such eXcuses

In a recent report released by a NGO against the usage of fund by the so called “Public Servant” (politicians) have only spent 9% of their allocated amount … surprised? Not me!

I live in an area for the past 9 years which is developing just like my country … SNAIL pace … development is only at places where there is political gains in terms of power or money.

I hope the coming elections we pick the right candidate to change all this and the person elected does justice to his ROLE J

Details of her death were not released as that time.

Family members of the deceased were captured saying they will really miss their sister so much. They also sent their condolences to the children the deceased left behind.

The Bedford Police Department earlier confirmed they were seriously investigating the death.

The deceased according to Authorities was found inside an out building on the property.    Mary Kennedy, 52 was married to Robert F. Kennedy. Robert however filed for divorce in 2010 which sparked lots of media controversy exposing many happening in the marriage of the two.
