Okay. Let's get the catchup started.. we'll be working backward with the oldest entries in my notebook first.

With polls showing Americans really don't favor the conservative economic plan, favor some form of legalized abortion, and are bothered by insertion of more religion in government, why did (slightly) more Americans vote for Dubya and a greater Republican congress? Security, of course. Whatever it takes to feel safer from terrorism, and just about anything foreign, for that matter. Everyone knows you couldn't count on degenerate liberal elites to truly protect the American Way of Life, even if the other choice is sheer incompetency. But it's solid incompetency made in the USA.
With this in mind, I think it is time to think even more radically to protect our sovereign states. Here's some possible ideas to consider:
#1 Ring the Country with the Homeless: Protect America from her enemies and save that pesky homeless problem at the same time! Imagine tens of thousands of eyes watching our beaches and borders 24-7-365 from small watch stands placed strategically around the entire perimeter of the US. Supply each shack with the bare basics (including a bible, of course) and Middle American can breathe easily with democratic freedom assured. But don't the intrasigent have mental health and substance abuse problems? Pffifle! All they'll need is this chance to pull themselves up by their bootstraps, serve for the good of their country, and you can rest assured the enemies of democracy will find no haven in our fine country.
#2 Issue heavy ordinance to every American household:
Who better than the classic American citizen-soldier to stand ready to defend every glorious inch of his or her chunk of the good ol' USA with the potent combo of the right to bear arms, and classic American-built and designed heavy portable and semi-portable weaponry. A Stinger in every SUV and and ground to air missle system in every backyard. All any American needs to sleep well in his or her bed. (Along with his or her already existant private arsenal of sidearms, rifles, and other automatic weapons, as is every American's God given right.) The issue and necessary training does offer an added bonus! Those who refuse to take and practice shoulder-fired weaponry are clearly traitors against the USA, and can easily be rounded up and sent somewhere they can learn true American patriotism.
#3 America, The Domed: Certainly near-invunerable giant environmental shield bubbles for the cities of the future have gone to the Gernsbackian trashpile, but I think that's short-sighted. Americans can think that big! BIGGER! Dome the cities? No... dome the whole country. Total security, even from rogue nations! Total access control from limited protected bubblelocks! The all-encompassing feeling of safety from the secure embrace of the dome protecting you from the rest of the world (which is jealous of our freedom, anyway.) Now you might wonder about how one dome could cover the whole country without extending over water, or worse, Canada or Mexico. The solution is simple, and pragmatic. Construct a smaller dome, as in one that can fit on the continental US.. or in this case, the middle of the country. Of course, this would leave a sizable population in select cities in the East, West, and Southwest vunerable as primary terrorist targets. But, the purpose the dome is to ensure as total preservation of those practicing the purest values of an upright and moral American citizen. Then, move Washington D.C. (just the government, not the whole city) to the center of the dome and the nation is good to go.

Yeah. A whole month. Nothing for one whole month. But it's been one hell of a month's worth of days. Which included:.
Kidney stone, recovery thereof.
Reaction to antibiotics taken for kidney stone, recovery thereof.
Visit to Texas to see my folks, recovery thereof.

So again bear with me. I might also be switching shifts at work, which will grant me more time to write and easier access. So cross all your applicable digits and other protuberances.

My little black notebook is right in front of me, so I will get cracking on transcribing. And hopefully I will find my notes from my time in Houston with my comments on the McMansion takeover of older in-city neighborhoods.
