Civil Unrest….

21.04.2008 (8:25 pm) – Filed under: Interesting Theories

That’s a politically correct way of saying “Civil War”. Welp, we’re on the verge of it. Mark my word, if something doesn’t change in the next 10 years, the United States of America, as we know it, we’ll probably not exist. We’re on the verge of something catastrophic. We’re currently seeing gas prices go to new heights. The price of food, if it’s available, is jumping through the roof. We’re seeing food shortages in different places across the country. Because of fuel prices, truckers are about to go on strike. There’s more warnings of gun control coming down through survivalist websites. The first amendment is allowing the press to get away with anything and everything, yet, religion and individual rights are being usurped in the name of law enforcement and “moral judgment”.

Drug use is on the rise, unemployment is down, however, the number of high-pay, medium skill jobs are way down. Many, not all, of the folks working in service industries such as hotels and restaurants are sub-prime employees with various degrees of criminal histories, low work-ethics and generally, of poor employee character. Many people would rather take the risk of criminal activity, rather than spend their time doing real work. The borders are being crossed daily by illegal immigrants, without much in the way of an effort to stop it. There’s a multitude of stories being presented to the American people in the form of books, movies and t.v. depicting yet another civil war. It’s in the minds of the educated and those in power. And in my opinion, it’s only a matter of time.

WordPress Updates

14.04.2008 (3:32 pm) – Filed under: Admin Gone Postal

Did I ever mention……

Even though WordPress has a “Three Step Update”, sometimes, things just don’t go as planned? When I do my blog, it’s rather easy and I don’t have to worry about things going wrong, as I just popped into the server, write a few unix commands and fix it….. I get use to what I write, how I write and what widgets I use. However….. On a friends wordpress powered site, I don’t write posts, I just upgrade.

Well, needless to say, her site was upgraded this morning and it’s still not 100%. I have isolated the problem to being something on the backend of wordpress, but I cannot fix it myself. I don’t dare go into the wordpress forums, else I be chastised in one form or fashion. So….

Here I sit, waiting for a minor update to come out…

Hopefully soon.
