Should we tell the Americans that they haven’t been a capitalist society for decades?

A dictionary definition of Capitalism

Economic system characterized by the following: private property ownership exists; individuals and companies are allowed to compete for their own economic gain; and free market forces determine the prices of goods and services. Such a system is based on the premise of separating the state and business activities. Capitalists believe that markets are efficient and should thus function without interference, and the role of the state is to regulate and protect.

http://www.investorwords.com/713/capitalism.html

1) Economic system characterized by the following: private property ownership exists;

That has been subverted — no one owns land anymore — The idea that a tax can be levied against the ownership of land and still be owned by a private person is contradictory and amounts to rent for land payable to the municipal or State owners

This condition of capitalism does not exist in the US or in Canada or in the UK

2) Individuals and companies are allowed to compete for their own economic gain;

This has been subverted –less than 2% of the population owns 90 % of the money and industry — there is no competition when a small group of persons attains that level of power – Totalitarian regimes such as communism or fascism are ones where there are one or a handful of owners which defeats the ideals of competition

This condition of capitalism has not been met in the US Canada or in the UK

3) and free market forces determine the prices of goods and services.

This can only occur during a period when competition is allowed – With no competition an unseen elite sets prices and wages often to the detriment of the proletarian —

This condition of capitalism has not been met

4) Such a system is based on the premise of separating the state and business activities.

When the corporation gain too much power they have and will and are currently a force which the government itself must answer to – There is no separation of State and business — Business has become the government

This condition of capitalism has not been met

6) Capitalists believe that markets are efficient and should thus function without interference, and the role of the state is to regulate and protect.

Bail outs and massive injections of tax payers cash to failed business is in direct violation of this principle and has occurred on unprecedented levels as of late

This condition of capitalism has not been met

Should we tell the Americans that they haven’t been a capitalist society for decades ?

Blame Bush blame Obama blame Joe Blow or Joe the plumber

The US has not been a capitalist society for decades now

Should we tell them or keep it to ourselves ?
Zenmeister

Uh …….. no not at all always believe your leaders never question authority just blindly follow ………… yep follow it feels good doesn’t it ?

Advertising/Marketing/Promotional Ideas for a Day Spa with Massages Facials & Waxings?

I’m a ‘spa coordinator” at a amazing Day Spa in Orange County CA, but besides my receptionist duties, I’m also helping out (as much as I can) with any promotional ideas, marketing, & a little advertising.

We already do a lot of different things but I’d love to hear what specific techniques, or ideas would make you or anyone come back to a spa.

What are you looking for? What would be the cherry on top that really made the sunday (so to speak lol)

Here’s what we have already…

– we send out flyers with promotional prices
– we send monthly emails with different deals
– we have 30min free GC we give away to clients, businesses, and homes
– “new guest specials” (discounted services for 1st-timers)
– a rewards cards where you refer people, write a review online, sign up for the membership, etc & recieve a certain number of pts for each thing & ultimately get a free hour massage or facial
– last but not least we have above average customer appreciation and service. we always put our clients first (which is the most important in my oppinion)

….but somehow we’re still not reaching our goals

I’d love some ideas of more specific things; maybe what someone you go to does to make you want to return! Or a spa that did something different & suprising in a good way…

Today I got an email from Correll Group Ltd…Does anyone know anything about this…is it a scam?

how airbus gain in market share affect the legitimacy of claims for subsidies?

in december 2003, Boeing announced it would go ahead with the development of its latest commercial jetliner, the 7E7, which Boeing will position against Airbus’s popular A330 aircraft. The “E” in the Boeing 7E7 stands for ‘efficient.’ By making extensive use of new composite and engine technology, Boeing hopes to reduce the aircraft’s operating costs by as much as 20 percent compared to a traditional design. If it is successful, this will make the plane a potent competitor against the best-selling A330. however, the 7E7, now renamed the 787, is a risky project for Boeing. The aircraft will cost about $7 billion to develop, according to industry estimates, and demand is uncertain. To share the costs and risks of development Boeing has taken on several partners who will help to design and build the 787. Most important among these are a trio of three Japanese companies, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Kawasaki Heavy Industries, and Fuji Heavy Industries. Collectively, these three companies will probably build as much as 35 percent of the 787 by value, including parts of the fuselage, wings, and landing gear. They will ship the finished components to everett, Washington, for final assembly. These three companies are longtime Boeing partners. They contributed about 21 percent by value to Boeing’s last new jetliner, the Boeing 777. Although there has been a long history of development subsidies in the commercial aerospace industry, a 1992 agreement between Boeing and Airbus limits the state aid either company can get from their respective governments. Airbus, now a private company, is limited to repayable launch aid that must not exceed one-third of the development costs of a new aircraft. The launch aid has to be repaid only if aircraft sales are high enough for Airbus to turn a profit on the investment in a new plane. As for Boeing, indirect aid from U.S. government agencies such as R&D contracts from the Pentagon and NASA are capped at 4 percent of its total revenues. It is unclear if the 1992 agreement extends to other parties in the projects. The Japenese Aircraft Development Corporation, an association of Japanese aircraft makers, has asked the Japanese government for help with the 787 project. The country’s Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry has submitted a budget request that would make the 787 a “national project. Newspaper reports put the request at about $1.5 billion. Upon hearing this, Airbus officials were quick to claim that the arrangement could violate several international agreements, including a 1994 WTO prohibition against subsidies that can harm competitors. Behind the scenes, Airbus executives started to urge the European Union to look at the issue and possibly file a case on their behalf. They also noted that Boeing received aid from the states of Washington and Kansas, where its factories are located, and that also constitutes an unfair subsidy that was outside the scope of the 1992 agreement. In mid-2004, the issue became even more contentious when the u.s. government demanded an end to airbus’s launch aid. airbus had already been granted lans of 3.7 billion to develop its latest aircraft, the A380 super-jumbo, but what really got attention in america were signs from airbus that it would also build a direct competitor to the 787, the A350, and ask for launch aid to help cover the development costs of that plane. Estimates suggested the lunch aid for the A350 could total $1.3 billion. furthermore, in 2004 airbus surpassed boeing in global market share. American officials felt that given the strength of the company, subsidies were no longer appropriate. In late 2004, the EU and U.S. government entered into negotiations to try to resolve the dispute, but talks ended in March 2005 with no agreement. The dispute now goes to the World Trade Organization, which must rule on the legality of the various subsidies. Meanwhile, Boeing is starting to pile up orders for the 787, and industry observers speculate that the longer launch aid for an airbus competitor is stalled in legal limbo, the less likely Airbus will be to go ahead with the plane.

Has anyone mentioned this……?

That FIFA president Blatter was accused of corruption back in 1998 or 2002….

Sepp Blatter’s 1998 election to the presidency of FIFA over UEFA President Lennart Johansson occurred amidst much controversy. His 2002 candidacy has been marked with rumours of financial irregularities and backroom dealings, culminating with direct accusations of bribery, by a third party, made in the British press by the Farra Ado, vice-president of the CAF and president of the Somalian football association, who claimed to have been offered $100,000 to vote for Blatter in 1998.
Amidst internal divisions ,FIFA’s secretary-general Blatter’s deputy and former protégé, Michel Zen-Ruffinen drew up a 30-page dossier outlining allegations of financial mismanagement within the organisation. The dossier alleged that the collapse of FIFA’s marketing partner ISL had led to losses of up to $100m under Blatter’s management. The allegations were backed by Johansson, and the dossier was handed to the Swiss authorities, but they cleared him of any wrong doing and FIFA had to pay all the costs. An internal investigation within FIFA was halted by Blatter because members of it broke confidentiality agreements.

Could this include last year’s CL semi-final between Chelsea and Barcelona ?

What’s Really for Dinner?
The Truth About Commercial Pet Food, by Tina Perry
Cow brains. Sheep guts. Chicken heads. Road kill. Rancid grain. These are a few of the so-called nutritionally balanced ingredients found in the commercial pet food served to companion animals every day.
More than 95 percent of US companion animals derive their nutritional needs from a single source: processed pet food. When people think of pet food, many envision whole chickens, choice cuts of beef, fresh grains, and all the nutrition that a dog or cat may ever need — images that pet food manufacturers promote in their advertisements. What these companies do not reveal is that instead of whole chickens they have substituted chicken heads, feet, and intestines. Those choice cuts of beef are really cow brains, tongues, esophagi, fetal tissue dangerously high in hormones, and possibly diseased and even cancerous meat. Those whole grains have had the starch removed for corn starch powder and the oil extracted for corn oil, or they are hulls and other remnants from the milling process. Grains used that are truly whole have usually been deemed unfit for human consumption because of mold, contaminants, poor quality, or poor handling practices. Pet food is one of the world’s most synthetic edible products, containing virtually no whole ingredients.
Pet food manufacturers have become masters at inducing companion animals to eat things cat and dogs would normally spurn. Pet food scientists have learned that it’s possible to take a mixture of inedible scraps, fortify it with artificial vitamins and minerals, preserve it so that it can sit on the shelf for more than a year, add dyes to make it attractive, and then extrude it into whimsical shapes that appeal to the human consumer. For this, pet food companies can expect to earn $9 billion in sales in 1996.
Scraps and Byproducts For years, many care givers have tried to avoid feeding their companion animals people food leftovers, having been warned by veterinarians about the heath problems they can cause. Yet much scrap material from the human food industry is ending up in dogs and cat’s dinner bowls. What the consumer purchases and what the manufacturer advertises are often two entirely different products, and this difference threatens the animals healthy, especially as they age. Learning to read ingredient labels and taking the time to read them carefully is crucial to making an educated choice when purchasing pet food. Ingredients are listed in descending order of weight (heaviest first) under standards established by the Center for Veterinary Medicine for the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The name of the product (in most states) is dictated by the regulations of the American Association of Feed Control Officials (AAFCO). The trouble is, AAFCO standards can lead to deceptive product names due to the weight and volume variations between wet and dry ingredients. Also, the average consumer has no idea what the definitions for the listed ingredients mean. Preservatives, vitamins, minerals, flavorings, and cereal make up most of what the companion animal eats.
It is not happenstance that four of the top five major pet food companies in the United States are subsidiaries of major multinational food production companies: Colgate Palmolive (which produces Hills Science Diet), Heinz, Nestle, and Mars )see The Corporate Connection). From a business standpoint, multi-national food companies owning pet food manufacturers is an ideal relationship. The multinationals have captive market in which to dump their waste products, and the pet food manufacturers have a direct source of bulk materials. Both make a profit from selling scraps that originate from places far worse than the dinner table. In his 1986 book Pet Allergies veterinarian Al Plechner sums up what goes into companion animals food: Condemned parts and animals rejected for human consumption are routinely rerouted for commercial pet foods. A similar fate applies to so-called 4-D animals. These are food animals picked up dead, or that are dying, diseased, or disabled, and do not meet human-food qualifications. They are processed straightaway for companion animal consumption. Little goes to waste. Says Plechner, Food processing refuse of all sorts winds up in your animals dinner bowls. Moldy grains. Rancid foods. Meat meal. The latter is ground-up slaughterhouse discards often containing disease-ridden tissue and high levels of hormones and pesticides, the very things that may have contributed to the death of the steer or hog. A decade later, his words still apply. When cattle, swine, chickens, lambs, or other animals meet their ends at a slaughterhouse, the choice cuts — lean muscle tissue and organs prized by humans — are trimmed away from the carcass for human consumption. Whatever remains of the carcass (bones, blood, pus, intestines, ligaments, subcutaneous fat, hooves, horns, beaks, and
any other parts not normally consumed by humans) is, according to the pet food industry, perfectly fit as a protein source for cat and dog food.
The Pet Food Institute, the trade association of pet food manufacturers, acknowledges in its 1994 Fact Sheet the importance of using byproducts in pet foods as additional income for processors and farmers. The purchase and use of these ingredients by the pet food industry not only provides nutritional foods for pets at reasonable costs, but provides an important source of income to American farmers and processors of meat, poultry, and seafood products for human consumption. Many of these remnants are indigestible and provide a questionable source of nutrition. The amount of nutrition provided by meat byproducts, meals, and digests varies from vat to vat of this animal protein soup. A vat filled with chicken feet, beaks, and viscera is going to make available a lower amount of protein than a vat of breast meat. James Morris and Quinton Rogers, professors with Department of Molecular Biosciences at the University of California at Davis Veterinary School of Medicine, assert that there is virtually no information on the bio-availability of nutrients for companion animals in many of the common dietary ingredients used in pet foods. These ingredients are generally byproducts of the meat, poultry and fishing industries, with the potential for wide variation in nutrient composition. Claims of nutritional adequacy of pet foods based on the current AAFCO nutrient allowances (profiles) do not give assurances of nutritional adequacy and will not until ingredients are analyzed and bioavailability values are incorporated. Meat byproducts, the catch-all term of the pet food industry, is a misnomer because these byproducts contain little if any meat. Byproducts contain little if any meat. Byproduct are animal parts leftover after the meat has been stripped from the bone. Chicken byproducts include heads, feet, entrails, lungs, spleens, kidneys, brains, livers, stomachs, noses, blood, and intestines free of their contents. What the pet food manufactures fail to mention is that most byproducts, digests and meals are also filled with other substances, such as cancerous tissue cut from the carcass, plastic foam packaging containing spoiled meat from supermarkets, ear tags, spoiled slaughterhouse meat, road kill, and pieces of downer animals.
Canned Cannibalism Another source of meat that isn’t mentioned on pet food labels is pet byproducts, the bodies of dogs and cats. In 1990 the San Francisco Chronicle reported that euthanized companion animals were found in pet foods. Although pet food company executives and the National Renderers Association vehemently denied the report, the American Veterinary Medical Association and the FDA confirmed the story. The pets serve a viable purpose by providing foodstuff for the animal feed chain, said Lea McGovern, chief of the FDA’s animal feed safety branch. Because of the sheer volume of animals rendered and the similarity in protein content between poultry byproducts and processed dogs and cats, rendering plant workers say it would be impossible for purchasers to know the exact contents of what they buy. In fact, Sacramento Rendering cited by inspectors five times in the past two years for product-labeling violations.
Grease and Grain
The most nutritious dry pet food is no better than the worst if animals will not eat it. Pet food scientists have discovered that spraying the kibble or pellets with a combination of refined animal fat, lard, kitchen grease, and other oils too rancid or deemed inedible for humans makes an otherwise bland or distasteful product palatable. Animal fat is mainly packing house waste or supermarket trimmings from the packaging of meats. Animals love the taste of this sprayed fat, which also acts as a binding agent to which manufacturers may add other flavor enhancers. The pungent odor wafting from an open bag of pet food is created by this concoction. Restaurant grease has become a major component of feed-grade animal fat over the last 15 years. Often held in 50-gallon drums for weeks or months in extreme temperatures, this grease is usually kelp outside with no regard for its safety or further use. The rancid grease is then picked up by fat blenders who mix the animal and vegetable fats together, stabilize them with powerful antioxidants to prevent further spoilage, and then sell the blended products to pet food companies. Rancid, heavily preserved fats are extremely difficult to digest and can lead to a host of animal health problems, including digestive upsets, diarrhea, gas, and bad breath. Once considered filler by the pet food industry, the amount of grain products included in pet food has risen over the last decade as the American population has focused its attention away from consuming beef and toward a healthier diet of grains and vegetables. Commonly two of the top three pet food ingredients are some form of grain products. For instance, Alpo’s Beef Flavored Dinner lists ground yellow corn, soybean meal, and poultry byproduct meal as its top three ingredients. 9 Lives Crunchy Meals lists ground yellow corn, corn gluten meal, and poultry byproduct meal as its top three ingredients. Of the top four ingredients of Purina’s O.N.E. Dog Formula — chicken, ground yellow corn, ground wheat, and corn gluten meal — two are corn-based products from the same source. This is an industry practice known as splitting. When components of the same whole ingredient are listed separately (ground yellow corn and corn gluten meal) it appears that
there is less corn than chicken, even when the whole ingredient may weigh more than the chicken. Soy is another common ingredient in many pet foods. It is used by the manufacturers to boost the claimed protein content and add bulk so that when animals eat a product containing soy they will fell more sated. Tofu is suitable for humans, but most forms of soybean do not agree with a dog or cat’s digestive system. Like many other pet food ingredients, soy is virtually unusable by an animal’s body. Being obligate carnivores, cats have little ability to digest any nutrients from soy. The problem is worse for dogs because they lack the essential amino acid to digest soy products. Soy has also been linked to bloat and gas in many dogs.
Additives and Processing
Pet food industry critics note that many of the ingredients (such as corn syrup and corn gluten meal) used as humectants to prevent oxidation also bind water molecules in such a way that the food actually sticks to the animal’s colon and may cause blockage. Blockage of the colon may cause an increased risk of cancer of the colon or rectum. Two-thirds of the pet food manufactured in the United States contains synthetic preservatives added by the manufacturer. Of the remaining third, 90 percent includes ingredients already stabilized by synthetic preservatives. Because most pet food contains large percentages of added fat, a stabilizer is needed to maintain the quality of the food. Sodium nitrite, often used as a coloring agent, fixative, and preservative, has the ability to combine with natural stomach and food chemicals (secondary amends) to create nitrosamines, powerful cancer-causing agents, according to A Consumer’s Dictionary of Food Additives.
Many pet foods advertised as preservative-free do not contain preservatives. Almost all rendered meats have synthetic preservatives added as stabilizer, but manufacturers aren’t required to list preservatives they themselves haven’t added. Premixed vitamin additives can also contain preservatives. In the 1003 Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, veterinarian Philip Roudebush reported finding low concentrations of synthetic antioxidant preservatives in all analyzed samples of products labeled as chemical free or all-natural. Other types of additives depend on whether the pet food is semi-moist, dry or canned. Because semi-moist food contains 25-50 percent water, antimicrobial preservatives must be used. Propylene glycol was frequently used in cat food until it was pulled in 1992 for causing a variety of health problems. Processing greatly alters the nutritional value of the food ingredients. Veterinarian R. L. Wysong states in Rationale for Animal Nutrition: Processing is the wild card in nutritional value that is, by and large, simply ignored. Heating, freezing, dehydrating, canning, extruding, pelleting, baking and so forth, are so commonplace that they are simply thought of as synonymous with food itself. Because the ingredients that pet food companies use are not wholesome, and harsh manufacturing practices destroy what little nutritional value the food may have had in the first place, the final product must be fortified with vitamins and minerals.
Questionable Nutrition
How, then, can any pet food be guaranteed to be 100 percent complete or nutritionally adequate? As long as it meets the AAFCO minimum standards, such a guarantee can be on the label. Yet in 1994, feed tests conducted by the New York State Agriculture Department showed 7 percent of all pet foods analyzed failed chemical analyses for guaranteed nutrients. Other states report similar findings, with failure of analyzed feed ranging from to 12 percent. Even if a pet food meets AAFCO standards, certain nutritional requirements (for example, lysine) can vary between species by as much as seven-fold. Although manufacturers clam that millions of companion animals can thrive on a diet consisting of nothing by commercial pet food, research and an increasing number of veterinarians implicate processed pet food as a source of disease or as an exacerbating agent for a number of degenerative diseases. For example, kidney disease is on of the top three killers of companion animals. According to Plechner, the extra protein and harsh ingredients of many pet foods place an overload on the kidneys. Left untreated, the toxic buildup leads to vomiting, loss of appetite, uremic poisoning, and death. Wysong adds, In the last few years, large statistical studies have shown the link between the diet (of processed foods) and a variety of degenerative diseases, including cancer, heart disease, allergies, arthritis, obesity, dental disease, etc. After extensive research, the Animal Protection Institute (API) published a Pet Food Investigative Report to educate companion animal care givers about pet food ingredients, ingredient definitions, labeling, and dietary ailments resulting from processed commercial pet food, including the most commonly know brands. Yet, whether such food is purchased at the supermarket, pet store, or from a veterinarian, it makes little difference in terms of the quality — only in the cost. Since the report was published earlier this year, API has conducted more research on holistic pet care and pet food alternatives, but still claims that the vast majority of pet foods available on the market today provide less that optimum nutrition for companion animals.
It is sad to think that the food provided by animal care givers to their four-legged friends could be hazardous to the animals’; health and longevity. Care givers should assume responsibility for providing as healthful a diet as possible for the animals in the care. Consumers should be informed: speak with a holistic practitioner or herbalist, or consult your veterinarian (but be aware that a veterinarian’s knowledge of nutrition may be limited to the two weeks of nutrition he or she had veterinary school 20 years ago). Although the ideal solution would be for companion animals to be fed only wholesome homemade and/or vegetarian diets, this is not an optician for everyone — the cost and time commitment is sometimes prohibitive. By taking more moderate steps, however, care givers can still greatly improve companion animals’ diet and quality of life.
EDIT: On Carin Rennings page she lists recommended diets… she really researched them and its really helpful….go check it out..smile
EDIT EDIT: sorry but it is still happening to the person that said its not… when I did my research I asked around and found out that the people that picked up the dead pets from the vets offices that did not want a private creamation actually had a company come in and pick the bodies up…really sick…valley protien I think was the name of the company…
I am not just trying to “SCARE” people …here is more proof….read this article JUST WRITTEN!! and see for yourself whats in your pet foods!!

Which area – Sacramento or Sandiego, is better for me?

Considering two places to move in California – Sacramento and San Diego suburbs
Desired Criteria:
Much shops, restaurants, and businesses
Nice looking buildings
Mostly moderate or liberal

I have heard online that Sacramento (perhaps only referring to city) is both dull and not mostly residential (not much businesses?). I have also seen some pics and videos online indicating that the Sacramento suburbs (not city) might be genarly more attractive in terms of business architecture (shops, restruants, businesses).

PS: please keep in mind I am only refering to the suburbun areas not the city

Thanks a lot Califonians! – I am a native from Michigan

File a complaint about my Employer!!!?

I live in San Diego, California. I am so frustrated that I cannot find anywhere to simply submit information online to a government agency regarding my employers’ unfair business practices. I can’t even post my information at the Better Business Bureau. It’s only for consumers… And the only resource I found under the list of State Agencies thus far is the Department of Fair Employment and Housing but I have to supposedly go through a lengthy complaint process that begins with an in-person interview: http://www.dfeh.ca.gov/complaintEmployment.asp

I simply desire to report that an employer of mine, Attack Marketing, refuses to abide by our contractual agreement of paying 3-6 weeks after completion of work as promised, but are routinely paying over and beyond 13 weeks after completion of work.

Thinking about moving back to California!?

I am currently 21 years old and am going to graduate college by this fall (finishing online) with a degree in International Business. I have absolutely no student debt and a decent enough car to get me to California. My aunt is going to let me stay with her (Riverside, CA) while I look for a job and get myself situated and finish school. I was born in San Diego and lived in Corona until I was 14 years old. I now live in Evansville, IN. I miss it and do not have anything keeping me here.

Do you think this is a possible endeavor? I have about $1000 saved which isn’t much but I have several months to continue to save. I am hoping to move around April and finish my schooling while I work. I am extremely aggressive when it comes to finding a job, and even in this economy, I haven’t ever found it to be impossible to find a job.

Just hoped to get some insight from some older, probably much wiser individuals. Thanks!

ATTENTION Las Vegas Nevada: I am looking for witnesses to come forward with evidence. Are you one?

Anyone in Las Vegas familiar with the term mobbing or organized gang stalking?
I would like to know if there are any anti mobbing/gang stalking organization in Las Vegas, because I am being mobbed/gang stalked in Las Vegas and you will never believe by who.

I am looking for others who have experienced this and want to join a anti stalking group. (There is power in numbers, so lets get together and do something about!)

I am also a victim of COINTELPRO. In case some of you don’t know what that is I have provide videos on the subject.

Cointelpro:

Don’t be afraid to come out of the closet, your not alone! I have been a victim of this crime for 12+ years, and it hasn’t stopped since even through I have moved to several cities.

I moved to Las Vegas 21 months after being stalked/slandered/mobbed out of a previous city where used to lived (quietly I must say) and now its happening here under the same circumstances!

I am being slandered all over the city by Las Vegas by the Las Vegas Police who are FALSELY accusing me of slandering the city of Las Vegas and Firemen, and heinously ugly, a slut, having little droopy boobs, being a serial killer and other slanderous things about me if I don’t meet the demands of what is called casting lots (SIGNS) that they themselves have set up to frame me with to convince the public of these lies about me, because of the public’s own depraved state.

A tactic that the San Diego Police and Fire Dept used in San Diego when I lived there almost two years ago where I was stalked and slandered daily and out of that city by the San Diego PD and FD who were falsely accusing me of slandering the city of San Diego and trying to destroy the city and Firemen and many other lies about me, too long to write here, by appealing to the depraved stated of the people there, telling them things like I am the heinously ugliest women that ever lived and that everybody is better looking than me and are a god. The same tactic LVPD is using in this city, stirring up the public in it. I assure this has to do with Police jealousy of me.

In other words they covet and want my stuff (good looks and status) that they don’t have and want badly. If you think this is ludicrous, I challenged you to go to the Bonneville Transit Center and ride the city buses, esp rout 209 and 113 and ask the passengers about the women with the black and white head scarf that wears sunglasses. The bus drivers are told by the LVPD to tell the bus passengers lies about me that are shocking. Now the LVPD is going about the city slandering ME to business all over town.
I need people to get on these buses and report your findings to The Police Complaint Center online, and tell them this has to do with the Steve Martinez case. Stop this police and public corruption going on all over this city. Thank you.

I believe the only way to stop it, is to expose it! I will work in your behalf and you can work in my behalf to exposing this crime!

Feel free to contact me. Thank you.

My dog has gone missing and is presumed to have been taken by coyotes. When do I give up looking?

My dog went missing from my San Diego house 4 days ago while I was out of town on business. I had my friend watching my house and my two dogs. She said that when she went to bed, both dogs were inside in their beds and when she awoke, one of them was gone (my 12lb boston terrier baby). We have a dog door so they can go in and out as they please and we usually close it at night because they have been known to bark and bother the neighbors, but i guess we failed to mention this to our house sitter. The neighbors said they heard coyotes close by and that they heard our dogs barking and crying in the night. I have put up fliers in my neighborhood, hiked through the canyon that backs up to my house for hours searching for evidence (didn’t find any), called every vet, shelter and clinic within 25 miles, spammed craigslist and other online lost dog sites, and checked the shelter in person and online every few hours. I miss my dog so much that of course I like to hope that he is still alive and that someone just stole him out of my yard (I filed a police report), but I feel like deep down I know he is gone and all of these dead end attempts to find out what happened to him are just torturing me. I called the park rangers that work the canyon and asked them to keep an eye for his collar or his body, but it is a large, dangerous canyon for such a little dog. My husband has already just assumed that he is dead and given up on really trying to find him and I think he wants me to do the same and just accept the loss for what it is, but I’m really distraught. I want to start the process of moving on, but because I have no idea what happened to my Romeo, it feels wrong. Thoughts?

What job position would like a small biz owner?

I’ve been running a small business for almost 5 years, just me and my brother. It doesn’t require much of my time and I was thinking of getting a “real” job. Any ideas what kind of job title or industry would be interested in a guy that runs a small online retail operation? (4triangles.com).

Here’s the scoop. I am almost 23. Never went to college. I was in the AF for almost four years and made Staff Sergeant right before I left. I am married and I have one child. I left because my husband was sent to Korea for a year and I was going to get hit with orders there when he got back. I have an honorable discharge and a pretty impressive resume. I am having a real hard time finding work that will pay me what I ask. I don’t think I am asking for too much considering my training. I guess what I am asking is how do I find “that job”? The one where I can use all of my skills and make the money that I deserve.
