Coffee Time

Went to Wally to get a pound of cheep coffee. 3 bucks (hrs have been cut at work)

Saw three cop cars sitting at Starbucks. 4-6 buck cups of coffee.

Passed many empty house. Empty due to lack of jobs and money.
Marion's solution: Tear down the empty houses at $5 thousand and up, and give tax abatement to those who go to IWU Village. And the Cops do what at Starbucks?

Marion's leadership is the worst in the world.

Reasonable Solution: Cut down on crime and extortion in Marion. Close Starbucks! Sell the houses cheep to someone who would sign a contract to fix them up. Fire the cops.

Miscarriage of Justice

Present miscarriage of justice alert:
Pekin Insurance. Trying to charge a premium for insurance after I had let them go.

Chase Bank: Multiple infractions of overcharging and rate extortion. (Rockefeller)

Chris Towing Marion IN. Damage to my van that they have not fixed. Cursing me out when they had damaged my van.

Still Praying

Hello 2011. Nothing new to report.

Still praying.

Chase bank still oppresses with full government support. Pekin insurances steals from its patrons, and there is no advocate for those oppressed.

So long as big finance are government subsidisied to oppress, this nation will continue to slide into facism.

How about you?

Nanny State Marces On

Garage Sales: Many communities have gone to charging homeowners a fee to conduct a garage sell. Blackford county has this little bit of police state/nanny state overreach in force.

God destroy this government that we might once again have freedom.

Road Kill

I see the Chronicle Reports the City is picking up leaves. I wonder if they'll get the three road kill animals in front of my house?

I called the city, they told be to call the shelter. They didn't answer.


Note: Nov 15,

Animals were picked up after a few weeks of rotting.

Train on the Track

How many of you have been held up in the morning commute to work, or school by a train standing on the track on 38th St., on the east side of the VA?

I make that trek four times a week, and have seen this occur about once a week. This happens between 6:30-7:30 AM.

Perhaps it would be a good time to start ticketing these trains.

Nanny State and the NFL

Watched a football game today, and after a touch down the receiver of the touch down pass celebrated near the defender he just beat to catch the ball. The referee
threw a flag. Charged him with flagrant celebration.

OH my God! It was rude but they are both big boys.

The nanny state marches on.

Unemployment

Nationwide construction unemployment was 17% in August, up from 16.5% in the same month last year.

Doesn't seem the stimulus did much stimulating does it? Now if they had given all the bail out monies back to the individual tax payers, the economy would now be robust.

This government is evil.

God Will Provide

As I see the empty shops around the city, where businesses once thrived, I must focus my mind on the fact that ultimately, for the righteous, our God has promised His provision. The natural mind would rather focus on the blight in this city.

When we are truly submitted to God we can be assured that He will provide for us all we need for Godliness. This does not negate the poverty that is widespread in the city. It does however cause the righteous man to live in peace.

Our focus is not on the trial when we walk by God's faith. It is on the Lord.

It Is Up To Us

As bad as things are in our nation, there is only one remedy. It is not that politics arise and lead us out of the present malaise. It is that God's people repent.

2Ch 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

Inflation-spending money that is not real

The River Walkway Revisited

The Marion Riverwalk from Washington down even into the park is in great disrepair.
What once was one of Marion's strong points is now decaying into ruin. Under the Washington St. Bridge, weeds just about cover the pathway. Near the old Girl Scout
building there is a stairway totally closed due to decay and disrepair. Behind the apartments near the Medical Complex area, handrails have fallen off.

In the past weeds were never allowed to grow so close and thick near the walkway.

The walkway needs help. Maintenance of what we have is just as important as new projects. The last couple of years weed ordinance signs were abundant in residents yards. Have not seen many this year, and perhaps because the city no longer does its part in keeping weeds at bay.

Obviously, money has not been released for this. But we see abundant money spent elsewhere. We hope the city will hear, and if nothing else organize a community project to bring the walkway back to former standards.

Possible Solution: A Community Repair and grooming day for the Walkway.

Truth, the Endangered Entity in Marion

"History is the lie commonly agreed upon," Voltare

The Real Questions

The problem with our political leadership is not just that they don't have real answers. The problem is they don't even know the real questions.

When I speak up against many issues be it on the blog or in person, many stare at me like a cow stares at a new gate. They just don't get it.

Pseudo conservatism won't change a thing. It likes the way things are.

God give this city conservative government.

Ron Paul is a true conservative. Mitch Daniels, John McCain, the Marion City council/government, they are not.

I Heard Some One Say

Been so hot lately I heard someone say, that there is a new conservative political action group forming. It will be called, "the Ice Tea Party".

River Walk

I often walk on the Cardinal/Greenway trail. Yesterday I walked on the city walkway near Matter Park. I was sad to see the condition of the walkway. This was once a great pride point for Marion. Now, most of the Wood Decks, and stairways are closed and broken. It would take very little money to fix these, compared to the great wastes in other areas this city is involved in.

Some of the areas had weeds so tall you had to come to the center of the walkway to
pass without being struck by weeds. All in all, I'd give the city poor grades on keeping the walkway in order.

They will no doubt say budget restraints have caused this. I will of course say spend our money wisely. Quit giving raises to people who are not keeping our city in order.

Maintenance is as important as new...whatever!

How does a city that does not take care of its weeds have the audacity to cite and fine home owners for weed violations?

Mute Question

How many unemployed Marion citizens does it take to change a light bulb?

It is a mute question since none of them can afford a light bulb.
