S.V.D.P project
I wish to see people get together and organize a group to help promote Saint Vincent DePaul in locating into Lakeview.
I am thining of running a letter to the editer to the local newspaper on this issue. I see very little being done to get a reat second hand store here.
I might have to organize the effort if I see no change on this issue.

George Bush needs to go!
We have the worse regime ever installed in the whitehouse. The war in Iraq is a scam. So where is the weapons of mass distruction shrub been harping about for years?
The fatherland insecurity act makes us less free and the economy is in a depressionary decline.
Bush and his gang hate workers unions and he wants to gut SSI and privatize it.
Bushes ownership society is a joke. If you have no money then how in the hell can you own any property? We are treated even worse than wage slaves. Ownership perhaps only for the super wealthy.
I see the cost of property so sky high it just makes my blood boil.
America is a plutocracy. I voted. Shame on those who did not care and did not vote. We are stuck with a smirking chimp for at least three more miserable years while America heads right into the toilet.

Topic: Springfield, Oregon
I just returned from Springfield helping my mom get ready to move. I used to live there for about 8 months.
I really like the social life a person can have there but I hate the big city rat race.
I am back here in Lakeview hating it. I wish I could get back with my lady Sharie and get the hell out of here.
The sooner I leave Lakeview the better. Springfields biggest drawback is the meth heads. They twik and kill their braincells on that dope.
I plan on moving somewhere in the hill near the Eugene Springfield area far enough away to be away from the influence yet not too far away.
I need to go to bed now. I am making too many errors online tonight.

Wonderful day

Being engaged to a lady! Three big cheers!

Left green dissent
Mood:  irritated
Topic: Politics
We heard it all before. Left wingers are "commies" and other such insults throw our way by the ultra religious
right of this country.
I deplore communism because the system under communism restricts religous expression. We even tolorate the far ultra right Christians in this country. In communist countries they would be locked up for their views.
I personally cannot stand bible thumpers. It is their personal choice though and we cannot force them to stop. We can however tell them to knock it off and to leave me alone. We don't have to take abuse by the righties either.
We cannot change them so let us deal with our own selves first. Change must come within. If we are willing to stand up to what we believe we must stop being soft and start speaking up.
If we do not speak up the far right will take all freedom away and install a plutacracy taking the rights away of those from other religions and those who have none.
If we plan to be a country that cares about unity, we must stop forcing god onto those who don't want god. We must preserve the seperation of church and state for a reason.
Politics and religion don't mix! Look at Iran, a total theocracy. Do we want America under a Christian theocracy? NO!
The far right has such a choke hold on politics in America it is not even funny. They are the minority. Most people are more middle of the roaders. How could the far right gain so much power? They use big corporate money and influence to gain power.
Money=power in America. If you don't have money you have very little if no political power. That sums it up. Communism, theocracy although on the extreme ends are bad ways to run things.
A plutacracy is another thing we need to be aware of. The multi-national corporations very much want to see America under an economic plutacracy ran by the super wealthy elite. They are cluse to sucess here.
As you can see you need a lot of money to run for persident.
We need some left minded dissent. Speak up. It is time we stop kidding ourselves. There are many threats to freedom. Political extremism on the far left or right is one such threat.

Addicted to the web

Yep I am addicted to the internet! I been online too long today. Must get off. I love all the things you learn on the web. I am doing online research on how to make money.
Been playing webgames too. What a party going on here.

Bored once more

Some ol' nothing here. Time to study up on web design again and brush up on those computer skills. I am up to something good as usual. The weather is lousy and there is no social activity here. So what better way to spend my time? Might as well be a webmaster!

Lakeview, Oregon needs a Saint Vincent DePual thrift store bad. I believe it is time we act on it. I hope the city council will support such a venture. It is time that Lake county starts taking care of it's disabled people by giving them jobs. I believe S.V.D.P would make a great contribution to the community!

Packing up and moving on! No more downer days. I am going to get married to Sharie soon. She lives in Springfield, Oregon. What a wonderful day that will be. But as long as I am here I am in a downer mood.
Theocracy, Look it up.

Returning to desolation
Mood:  irritated
Topic: Lakeview, Oregon
I returned here to Lakeview, Oregon to help my brother pack up his belongings and move back near Eugene/Springfield area.
Lakeview is not a fun place if you are liberal minded. It is very hard to make it in cowboy land. Either you keep your mouth shut and be quiet about your political views or you risk alienation.
Long hair here is considered taboo. You have to conform to the churches guidlines or you will be deemed and outcast.
Life is harsh here. But I flurish and I grow no matter how others judge me. I do not judge them. I love everyone, but I hate the nagitive behavior going on around here.
I honestly feel Lakeview deserves better than what it is getting. It is getting the short end of the stick economically.
The town is dying because the people forgot how to care for eachother in a loving non-judgemental way.
Small towns in Eastern Oregon are not doing well because of many reasons. Some of the problems stem from the fact that many mills shut down. The decline of the timber industry coupled with the down turn in the markets and lack of forsight in city planning caused an exodus of people to the big cities.
Attempts are being made to save a Lakeview but I believe it is too little and too late. Perhaps there is a chance but it will have to come at a grassroots level that will include everyone who lives in the area.
