Myself, I am tired of what is going on with this political race. I look forward to having it over and moving on. But, when it comes to my job and the Postal Service I look forward to still many changes that are happening now and in the future. Some of these I may not like or even understand why they are happening. As an Union member, I will continue to follow the contract as well as I can and hold management where I work accountable for there actions/inactions.
What will you do?

1 Corinthians 1:25
(New Living Translation)
25 This foolish plan of God is wiser than the wisest of human plans, and God’s weakness is stronger than the greatest of human strength.

Can't wait to see who Obama is going to place into his civilian security Force, you know, that new branch of the armed forces that he said he was going to create, the force that would be jsut as powerful as the military.
I think I got it---an FDR-style "make work" for unemployed gang members in the USA. He did get their vote, so he owes 'em.
Does anyone out there have any other idea what Obama meant when he got up and announced this new powerful security force last week.
If you have been sleeping at the switch, just youtube Obama, civilian security force, and listen to his own words.
Call me cautious, but didn't that charming and mesmerizing leader of a few decades ago in Germany form his own security force, with handsome brown jackets?
And the stupid citizens loved it up, until bad things started happening all around them.
Oh, our citizens are showing the results of public school education. They don't know history, they can't see the warning signs.
Its too late now. All we can do is wait, and pray that Obama's Marxist ideas don't destroy our freedom and liberty to pursue happiness.
Hopefully, Obama will start easy on us, taking a lesson from Uncle Adolph's "VW in every garage" idea by letting people work for the state and earn credits for a Pruis or a solar-powered moped.
Because I would kind of like a solar-powered moped.
I am wondering when the honeymoon will be over and then, with The nation of Islam, Rezko, Wright, and Ayers, Jesse "I want to cut off his nuts" Jackson, and Al sharpton putting their two-cent worth in, who will Obama target first?
What has happen to the local website? It still has Oct. calender
up!!
The average age of the world's greatest civilizations from the beginning of history, has been about 200 years. During those 200 years, these nations have progressed through the following sequence:
From bondage to spiritual faith
From spiritual faith to great courage
From great courage to liberty
From liberty to abundance
From abundance to complacency
From complacency to apathy
From apathy to governmental dependency
From governmental dependency back into bondage
Thanks to these duped voters, we will now progress rather quickly from the “complacency to apathy” stage to the “apathy to governmental dependency” stage. And, then we will awake some morning and find ourselves in the “governmental dependency back into bondage” stage!
Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children what it was once like in the United States where men were free. . . . . Ronald Reagan
Welcome to the United Socialist States of America USSA. God help us!
You think Obama will keep Potter as PMG in '09? Maybe he will save us from layoff and make us free as he said.
The one thing about Obama is that he will empower the unions to once again take over the employers.
That will be good for us APWU people, but only if the USPS remains a necessary product for the people to utilize.
And therein lies the problem.
We are rapidly becoming unnecessary for daily communication needs.
So, will Obama be able to ultimately save our jobs? I can't see how he can, even if he is the second coming of the messiah himself.
Because as long as there is the internet, there is no need for us as a whole.
Now, Obamam plans to create millions of bureaucratic government jobs, public works jobs, and civilian security force jobs, so even though our USPS jobs may be winding down, there are going to be lots of other options for us, if we meet whatever requirements (color, gender, educational or physical status, etc) and I think we need to be on the watch for a new ship to jump onto.
Because whether its Bush, McCain, Obama or the Super Iman, no one can force people to leave the internet and start putting a pen to paper for their communication needs.
No one.
So blame Al Gore, wacked out democrat that he is, bless his little heart. After all, wasn't it he who invented the internet?
You don't really belive Gore invented the internet do you?
J.C.R. Licklider was the first to describe an Internet-like worldwide network of computers, in 1962. He called it the "Galactic Network."
Larry G. Roberts created the first functioning long-distance computer networks in 1965 and designed the Advanced Research Projects Agency Network (ARPANET), the seed from which the modern Internet grew, in 1966.
Bob Kahn and Vint Cerf invented the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) which moves data on the modern Internet, in 1972 and 1973. If any two people "invented the Internet," it was Kahn and Cerf - but they have publicly stated that "no one person or group of people" invented the Internet.
Radia Perlman invented the spanning tree algorithm in the 1980s. Her spanning tree algorithm allows efficient bridging between separate networks. Without a good bridging solution, large-scale networks like the Internet would be impractical.
The World Wide Web was invented by Tim Berners-Lee and Robert Cailliau in 1990. In 1989, while working at CERN (the European Organization for Nuclear Research), both men made proposals for hypertext systems. In 1990 they joined forces and wrote a joint proposal in which the term "World Wide Web" is used for the first time (originally without spaces). And in late 1990 and early 1991, Tim Berners-Lee wrote the first web browser
If you all want to know who really did it....

What more do you need for nepotism?
Anyone care to add anymore to this list?
To computer tech.
Thanks for an interesting history on the internet. I did of course know that Mr gore didn't invent it. Its just been a joke for years, since he said something to that effect.
I didn't, however know who REALLy was involved in the communication revolution until now.
Thanks!
any truth to the rumor that a big town hall meeting on Wednesday will tell the people that we are closing down on Sundays?
I am hearing this is happening in las Vegas and other places.
Will this not cause great chaos with everyone losing their bid jobs and having to rebid on the new days off?
Has anyone else heard this rumor?
From a distance the world looks blue and green,
And the snow-capped mountains white.
From a distance the ocean meets the stream,
And the eagle takes to flight.
From a distance, there is harmony,
And it echoes through the land.
It's the voice of hope, it's the voice of peace,
It's the voice of every man.
From a distance we all have enough,
And no one is in need.
And there are no guns, no bombs, and no disease,
No hungry mouths to feed.
From a distance we are instruments
Marching in a common band.
Playing songs of hope, playing songs of peace.
They're the songs of every man.
God is watching us. God is watching us.
God is watching us from a distance.
From a distance you look like my friend,
Even though we are at war.
From a distance I just cannot comprehend
What all this fighting is for.
From a distance there is harmony,
And it echoes through the land.
And it's the hope of hopes, it's the love of loves,
It's the heart of every man.
It's the hope of hopes, it's the love of loves.
This is the song of every man.
And God is watching us, God is watching us,
God is watching us from a distance.
Oh, God is watching us, God is watching.
God is watching us from a distance.
.
I just want you close
Where you can stay forever
You can be sure
That it will only get better
You and me together
Through the days and nights
I don't worry 'cause
Everything's going to be alright
People keep talking they can say what they like
But all I know is everything's going to be alright
No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I'm feeling
No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I feel for you, you, you
Can get in the way of what I feel for you
When the rain is pouring down
And my heart is hurting
You will always be around
This I know for certain
You and me together
Through the days and nights
I don't worry 'cause
Everything's going to be alright
People keep talking they can say what they like
But all I know is everything's going to be alright
No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I'm feeling
No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I feel for you, you, you
Can get in the way of what I feel
I know some people search the world
To find something like what we have
I know people will try try to divide something so real
So till the end of time I'm telling you there ain't no one
No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I'm feeling
No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I feel for you, you, you
Can get in the way of what I feel for you
oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
so many rumors about loss of t-2 jobs, no pay checks in december, no more sunday or holiday working.
I think all those waring we hadover the years is coming true and worse than we thought could happen.
so I am just going to keep nose to the grindstone and earn my pay every day that I still have this job. thats all I can do.
So which foreigner brought in TB to the plant. Not a racist question, since it is fact, check public health websites, that majority of people in san diego with TB are from Asia or Africa.
Its amazing we haven't had this happen sooner. Or have we?
Why not let the Big Three just file Chapter 11? It's not a problem-free solution, but it beats using taxpayer money to prop up a failing union. Maybe that's why Democrats seem to dismiss it out of hand.
Filing for Chapter 11 protection under bankruptcy law is the normal way a company stays in business when facing an unmanageable financial situation. It keeps creditors at bay while the company reorganizes under court supervision and settles its debts.
Bankruptcy protection also frees companies from union contracts. Could this be why it seems to have been taken off the table as an option, at least among Democrats? We can only surmise, but it's clear that a bankruptcy process would be rough going for the United Auto Workers.
The Big Three's high labor expenses would no doubt need a trim. During the last round of contract talks in 2007, the average hourly costs were over $70 at all three of the domestic automakers, compared to about $48 for Toyota.
Detroit has made progress since then in dealing with one of its crucial labor issues, the funding of health care for retirees, but its unionized plants still put it at a disadvantage to rivals such as Toyota, Nissan, BMW and Honda, which run lower-cost, nonunion operations.
The success of those foreign transplants has led to a steady drain of autoworkers from both the Big Three and the UAW. The union's membership has fallen from a high of about 1.5 million in 1979 to 465,000 as of 2007 — the first time since World War II that it has stood under a half million. It would no doubt fall further if Detroit goes through the type of reorganization typical of Chapter 11.
In the end, the American automakers may finally be fit to take on their more nimble global rivals.

Mark 10:42-45
(New Century Version)
42 Jesus called them together and said, "The other nations have rulers. You know that those rulers love to show their power over the people, and their important leaders love to use all their authority. 43 But it should not be that way among you. Whoever wants to become great among you must serve the rest of you like a servant. 44 Whoever wants to become the first among you must serve all of you like a slave. 45 In the same way, the Son of Man did not come to be served. He came to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many people."

"The domino effect would be immense," Parts supply will have to close "You can't afford to produce parts if you're not being paid." Truck company that moves the cars. Trains that moves cars.
For example, the Big Three have made deep cuts in their advertising budgets. That is already fueling media industry layoffs. Reduced spending by auto company employees who lose their jobs would hurt stores and other businesses in cities where plants are located.
About 240,000 of those job losses would be at the automakers, while 800,000 would be at various suppliers and dealerships. The other 1.4 million job losses would be at businesses that rely on automaker spending.
Even the best case scenario for bankruptcy would be too great a shock to the struggling U.S. economy. We can not afford to let them go into bankruptcy it would hurt everyone that means us too, I think we need a bailout of the automakers.
"Why are you afraid?"
According to Matthew 8:23-26
(New Century Version)
23 Jesus got into a boat, and his followers went with him.
24 A great storm arose on the lake so that waves covered the boat, but Jesus was sleeping.
25 His followers went to him and woke him, saying, "Lord, save us! We will drown!"
26 Jesus answered, "Why are you afraid? You don't have enough faith." Then Jesus got up and gave a command to the wind and the waves, and it became completely calm.
---
From the book "In the Eye of the Storm" by Max Lucado:
Read this verse: "Then those who were in the boat worshiped him, saying, 'Truly you are the Son of God." (Matthew 14:33)
After the storm, they worshiped him. They had never, as a group, done that before. Never. Check it out. Open your Bible. Search for a time when the disciples corporately praised him.
You won't find it.
You won't find them worshiping when he heals the leper. Forgives the adulteress. Preaches to the masses. They were willing to follow. Willing to leave family. Willing to cast out demons. Willing to be in the army. But only after the incident on the sea did they worship. Why?
Simple. This time, they were the ones who were saved.

I hope that this country as a whole is finally getting a litte wake-up call about how corporations in this country, by their outsourcing manufactoring, jobs, etc. are bleeding this country dry! greed, greed, greed and more greed has been at the root of so many of the economical problems that are occuring right now. from real estate brokers to the ballpark hats, kid's action figures, designed here, but made in good ole china, ad infinitum, its looks like we're getting a hint that it's not gonna work anymore.
a nation of brokers and consumers is'nt going to cut it! we need to start making our own stuff again. we need to start keeping the jobs here. s'funny, I did'nt see in our local newspaper, any complaints when they were talking about bailing out the banks, to save our economy. now in the editiorial pages, I see all this anti-talk about bailing our the auto-industry. which the commenter before me so richly illustrated how everything is in a domino effect right now, so the auto-industry does need our help, and in doing so, helps out our economy. our conservative newspaper does not seem to be catching on. it is business as usual with them. to hell with our auto-industry, lets use the cheaper international automakers, they are poised to step in and take over. again the very root of the problems that are occuring in our economy today. no jobs, no money, no spending, no economy!!!
It's too late. The Great Depression 2 is just a matter of time and the clock is quickly ticking.
