Free vs Plantation: Happy Birthday MLKJr. and I'm sorry I failed you.
I am free when I think for myself and rebuild my house on firm ground so that I don't have to sharecrop no more or take from massa's table or starve.
I am free when massa asks me when I'm going to get me some nobodies like he got so that I can be like him. (that means he no longer thinks of me as a nobody)
When I am free I can think how I like and vote the way I want.
When I am on a plantation, my basic needs are provided to me in exchange for constant abuse at the hands of cruel massa. I cannot go against massa or he will take the things I need away from me or kill me by lynching--like he did to those other nobodies that set his house on fire last week. Or he will break up my family or rape me or throw me or my nobody in jail. Sometimes being a nobody is like being a prisoner.
Even if massa was nice to me and said I could do as I please as long as I wasn't steppin' on his toes or standin' too close, I still would do as he say because I am loyal to massa and I tell on the other nobodies on the plantation when they try to escape or read or think for themselves or run for president.
I am a nobody and I live on massa's plantation and I will raise my kids on massa's plantation and die on massa's plantation and will kill any nobody that tries to mess with massa or his ways.
Massa and his people live on the plantation too but its different because they seem to stick together and get along and think like one person. I can't break into that group--they just looks at me and shakes their head when I walk past their shack. Some of them feel sorry for me because I am a nobody and I ain't got a chance. Then the menfolk makes them go inside--they ain't really free either but theys better off than me.
I am a nobody and I depend on massa and his plantation--even though it is killing me a little bit everyday. So if a black man were to run for president one day, I wouldn't vote for him because I am a nobody and I can't make a fist.

Massa will always be in charge of me because I am a happy-go-lucky nobody. As long as I'm doing better than the next nobody--massa will always be my man! Gimmie five Jay-Jay and make me some coolaid and dance!

Cast Your Vote Wisely, Vote for the Future: Barack Obama
I sense fear in some as the poor and workers of all kinds come out in droves to vote. These groups have been ignored for so long and now finally they get a chance to be heard. They had better speak loud and clear because the chance to be heard may not come around again.
Besides the U.S. Constitution, who do we people have to thank for this chance to be heard--Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barak Obama (D-IL). He is the one to thank.
Please do not misunderstand--whatever he does, others in the campaign do as well. He is leading them as he will do the country when he is nominated by his party and then wins the presidential election against whatever Republican he runs against.

Prosecutorial Misconduct
Prosecutorial misconduct is not a myth. Please read the following statement and ask yourself how can we function as a country if this is allowed to go on...
I believe the following statemnt is true. And it is sad--a sad statement of what this country has become. I would hate to think it has always been this way and we have actually improved...
"It's something similar to reading a judge's decision for anyone except the involved parties and their attorneys. Almost every decision is written in a way to convince persons unfamiliar with the case that the decision is a just one. Accordingly, when a judge says something such as "there is absolutely no evidence at all in favor of the plaintiff", a person not familiar with the affidavits, testimony, exhibits and other documents in the case would probably assume that the decision is accurate, and not realize that the decision is using the language required to be used to dismiss a case."
"Anyway, judges are not immune from societal pressures. Judges would like to be appointed to higher courts; they would like to be appointed as CIA or FBI director; they would like to continue their friendships with the persons who appointed them as judges in the first place. Also, most importantly, they want to have a family life, something which they could never have if they did not dismiss most cases assigned to them."

Consumers Creditnet
I want to rebuild credit and to do so I plan on contacting Consumers Creditnet.
Creditnet is an online marketplace where consumers connect with a wide array of credit card products and services. They help you find credit cards or services which best match your criteria and credit standing.
According to them, their web site also acts as an industry filter, sheltering you from those predatory products and services which plague the subprime market and jeopardize the integrity of valid offers.
While other web sites feel that quantity is key, Creditnet believes in the power of selection. They say that they refuse to market products which prey, mislead, deceive or take advantage of consumers deliberately.

IGS Energy
In the mail I recieved anotice asking me to lock in a fixed rate today on my natural gas. it said my gas utility company offers a program that allows me to control my natural gas costs by choosing them as a supplier.
It also said would get a discount from October of next year until.
What about electric? Is there a carrier that can give me a discount on my electric energy? The gas is never that much but the electic is.
