The things in my head go 'round and 'round

As I drive around the Harrisburg area involved in my daily activities I sometimes wonder if the premiums cover the speeding tickets, and any accidents of the local offices.

I will explain that in a second, but first let me say “Thank You” to Geico for getting rid of the cavemen. They had run their course about a week after they were introduced. The gecko, no big deal I can palate that campaign. The eyes on the money thing? I don’t get it, please don’t try to explain it to me just get rid of it. Thanks.

Now. We have a local Geico office who has their logo emblazoned on a car. And I see that car zipping around Harrisburg on a regular basis. In and out of lanes, going over the speed limit, the whole nine yards. That raises the question of whether the premiums paid by the individual policies go to take care of the tickets that the driver of the company vehicle gets.

Interesting thought, isn’t it?

Really.

What if. What if someone said to you that they had a job that you could do without having to leave your house. That it would make you more money than you are making now.

Would you do it?

What if you found out that it involved scamming people out of their money? Nameless, faceless people.

Would you do it?

What are you limits concerning your own morality?

namaste.

I finished watching “The Colbert Report” the other night, Wednesday to be exact. I wasn’t tired, so I started doing the channel surfing thing starting at channel 2. Here in Pennsylvania channel 2 is the CBS affiliate. Nothing there, so I head up to NBC, and David Letterman. And what did I find? That John McCain was supposed to be on, but called to say that he was canceling his appearance along with his campaign to head back to Washington to help with the crap that is happening in the economy.

WTF?

I can understand canceling an appearance on a television show, but canceling your campaign? I agree with Letterman here, if you as a candidate have to head back to Washington to take care of the country’s business, then you have your running mate pick up the baton and move forward. Where is Palin in all of this? Being protected from the media and the public? Why? Is there something about her inability to talk intelligently about anything having to do with policy that has the McCain/Palin group uncomfortable? Do we want this person as our VP?

I am not thinking so.

Though is is pretty funny to watch Letterman taking McCain to task.

namaste.

Sometimes the things in my head are not so nice. They sometimes are just a tad bit bitchy, and might just bite you if you aren’t looking.

That is what is going on in my head today. We are adolescents. Not well behaved adolescents. Spoiled adolescents. Who want what we want when we want it.

No patience. No concern about anyone other than ourselves.

What brings this on? We are all bitching about the price of fuel.

It has sky rocketed in the past year. Why? Any number of reasons, in reality. And one of them is that it is good for business.

Like it or not, if you have any stock in any oil company right now you are happy. If you own oil stock, you are making money. And isn’t that why you bought stock? To make money?

I wrote about a speed trap that is outside of the town I live in. Why do we need speed traps? Because people go faster than the speed limit. And if you break the law, then we employ people who are supposed to enforce the law. Again with the business.

Business is every where. Don’t want tickets? Don’t speed. Don’t want high oil prices? Find another source for fuel.

There are easy solutions to everything. Just do what needs to be done. We complain that our politicians don’t speak for us. That they speak for PAC’s. So vote them out. And vote in someone else. But understand that the PAC’s are there because they are making money. It is business. So at some point in time you will have to get rid of the PAC’s.

Can we all play nice without all of the folks that are between us trying to get our cash out of our hands? I wonder.

Why is it that in retail, as in Mental Health, the people who have the most contact with the consumers, are the ones who are the least paid?

Or regarded?

The things in my head want to know.

Namaste.
