The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) grew at 1.2% annual rate, information released by Federal Government. Why is this important? It is important because the population growth for people 18-25 years of age according the census grew by 1.8%. That means there are 0.6% less opportunities per worker. Take the 0.6% below population GDP and multiply it by the number of currently employed. Number of people in the employment force 166 million. 166 million x 0.6% growth shortfall = 1 million jobs short of even meeting the population growth. The Federal Reserve just reported the 2013 projection is 1.25 million shortage of jobs. Therefore the people currently unemployed (U-3, 12.6 million) and actual unemployed (U-6, 23.1 million) will grow by 1.2 million because of the slow GDP which is less than population growth. Federal government will not count the teen and young adult who don't get a job or people who exhausted their unemployment, they are not unemployed. How does Obama rectify the fact that an unemployed black young adult is not even counted as an unemployed person in his federal report? ...and he wants their vote?

Let me give you some real examples. NOAA, the Coast Guard, Fish and Wild Life do not allow oil spills with concentration greater than 50-75 parts per billion. That's equivalent to a million gallon swimming pool with less than one teaspoon of oil, anyone putting on suntan lotion is in effect violating oil pollution recommendations for fish. Now let us review the pollution level of the previous article with plastics melamine in baby food, that was detected at levels of 2500 parts per MILLION. That level of pollution equals to one quart of oil in a 100 gallon bathtub or USA FDA standard for melamine was 25 parts per MILLION. or one quart of oil in a million gallon swimming pool. Please note the standards for pollution protection for wild fish is much tougher than poison for human babies. To those who thinks this is a foreign country issue, better think again. Those are USA FDA federal government standards! Please learn to read before spitting your "Zenophobia". It's your federal government killing your babies, not some foreigner.

It costs more than $200,000 to send a criminal to jail even with huge amount of evidence. The defense always play the game of delay. The prosecution is always paid less with higher number of case load. Then the defense lawyers dump huge amount of money (tax payers money) for Democrats, ...and they advocate setting prisoner free with early release. How much is wasted at parole hearing? Another tens of thousand wasted in defense, prosecution, criminal psychologist, court cost, for early release. ...and no-one is looking at this political gravy train which creates a fiscal mess. It wouldn't be long before it cost $1 million to send someone to jail for criminal activities, and liberal will haggle for the benefit of the criminal. Leaving society to become like Chicago, Detroit, Phlly, Camden, and Oakland where each one of these cities have 150,000 violent criminal activities per year and more than 450 death per city. Combined these 5 cities have more lawyers, more community activists and more crime and death than the entire war in the middle east!

Everyone knew the earthquake natural disaster in Japan had caused huge debris field to wash out into the ocean. It was seen on TV. How much have NOAA spend on cartoon computer simulation to match their political conclusion? Many million! They knew and saw the floating barge and empty ship in open sea. They knew this could pose a shipping traffic hazard and they knew if the ship got grounded it can cause an ecological damage. Yet rather than pay a tow boat to take it into save harbor for salvage, NOAA decided to waste million flying people to see the stranded ship and barge, then attempted to use this situation as a political tool to fit their conclusion of simulated cartoon predictions and allowed the ship and barge to ground. Millions spend sending political officers pretending to be scientists, deliberately allowing an shipping hazard to presist and potential ecological damage of oil spill to occur with the grounding of a derelict ship. Shame of NOAA for engaging in wasteful bad political cartoon and calling it science. Shame, shame, shame. NOAA spend more money flying politicians to see the derelict ship and barge than what they are contributing to the clean up! Shame, shame, shame!

Her ancestors were common European illiterates and the genealogical history points to this fact!

Look at their clothing, anyone who swim know not to wear baggy clothing with pockets. Anyone who actually swim or surf know not to wear clothing with pockets because it can get filled with sand, water and open like a parachute. Anyone who swims know how difficult it is to swim with baggy clothing. When I look at this video, ...those people are not swimmer but they are going river rafting? This is the honest story my daughter and I encountered the other day swimming and paddle boating in Green Lake. A group of teens and their parents talking about going river rafting. They were all wearing baggy clothing. None of these people were able to pass the 25 yard swim test! NONE! They were all sneaking pass the shallow lane marker to keep non-swimmer in the shallow. When caught and told by the life guard to return to the shallow end, the adult parents started to heckle the life guards, suggesting no harm was done. Yet, over hearing their conversation, they were all insisting going river rafting as a group would be fun! Those people at Green Lake looked similar to the bald guy in this video. Missing from this video were their chubby daughter in baggy clothing who could not pass the swim test but kept sneaking into the deep end and bragging about their parents taking them river rafting!

I do think we need to require anyone entering the stream to sign a waver, stating there are inherit danger river rafting and swimming in rivers. Failure to follow common safety practices, like not drinking, wearing life-vest, coast guard approve flotation, not diving into shallow water, not to swim under submerged tree branches etc. etc. can cause death by drowning. The greatest punishment these people can suffer is giving up their life. It's a good lesson for everyone else. Don't make laws that require people to wear life vest, post the names and photo of those that drowned due to failure to observe common safety protocols, ....then ask everyone entering the river or lake to sign a waiver. People need to take personnel responsibility.

Now consider the damage these same people are creating discharging a weapon in a crowded city street. When I hear defense lawyer and community activists state that these people were just having fun and no one was hurt. Honestly, having a bullet fly by ones head doesn't cause harm? Then please explain all the PTSD with solders that never got wounded. Please explain all the solders in WW2, Korean War and Vietnam who got shell shocked but were never wounded. The damage these hooligans cause in society and the community is much greater than the defense and community activists admit too. I thing the punishment for these people engaged in social disorder using weapons to threaten society should be countered with much greater level of punishment. Think of all the people who get so fearful because of these violent crimes and not engage in social activities outside their home, need to feel save and putting these people away for a long time with no parole is a great start.

Let's us review the good people and bad people. Good peoples phones are getting tapped because of politician wanting to get your phone access. Bad people are allow to conduct drug and gang activities without the police or prosecutors being able to use the information from the wire taps (Example of gang member set free after violent conflict in Seattle and the Police had wire tap information which were thrown out of court.) Police use edited video camera footage to issue citation with billing for people who actually committed no crime. Police are not allowed to use video footage from traffic control to arrest gangs, drug dealers, and have had these evidence thrown out of court. Honestly, the community activists, defense lawyers and liberal courts have gone too far, they forget who foot the bill for their salary and who they are sworn to protect.

I asked my 9 year old how to calculate the percentage change. In 1994 the government had 445 managers, in 2005 there are 5300 managers. This is what my daughter wrote on the chalkboard, percent change = ((5300 - 445) / 445) x 100% = 1091% increase in managers. In 1993 there were 350 managers, in 2011 there were 3861 managers. What is the percentage increase? My 9 year old wrote on the chalkboard, Percent Change = ((3861 - 350) / 350) x 100% = 1003% increase in managers. The news reporter said this was mostly false, because the number of managers did not increase by 1000% over the time period specified by Inslee. And most of the Democrats and Labor Union who oppose Inslee could not calculate a simple percentage like my 9 year old daughter. They made it into a political circus of zingers. Do we really need to elect people from a political party who don't know how to perform percentage math at a 9 year old's level?

Politicians are at negative 1000th place. Those idiots could not perform 3 grade math using percentages. ...and you want those propagandist idiots to run healthcare?

The average public swimming pool that is 25 meters long (Examples, Green Lake Pool, Shoreline Pool, South Seattle Pool, Ballard Pool) is about 1 million gallons. The government workers are telling us it's OK to spill one quart of motor oil into those pools and your baby is safe to drink that water! Remember Melimine and Cynuratic Acid are plasitic modifiers. This is the level of concentration the government workers are telling mothers it is ok and safe to drink. Honestly, would you even allow your children to swim in a public pool with one quart of motor oil spilled into it. These stupid liberal arts, and phooey-scientists are saying it's ok to allow your baby to drink the water from a pool contaminated with that level of plastic modifiers!!! Those people need to be fired!

Would you bath in a 100 gallon bath tub with one quart of oil dumped into it? Government workers thinks it good to allow American babies to drink that level of contaminated formula!! Do you think those government workers should keep their jobs? Keep hiring liberal arts major, political scientists, and propagandist to run healthcare? Those people are illiterate in math, science, common reading or public health! Keep hiring more BROWN SHIRT PROPAGANDIST TO RUN HEALTHCARE IN GOVERNMENT!!

Notice they are illiterate in math, science, common reading, or even doing simple percentages. ...and you want government run healthcare, ...staffed with political science, liberal arts and propagandists???? These people want to fee your baby two teaspoon of plastic modifiers with every gallon of milk or formula!!! These government workers need to be charged with treason, sedition and terrorist activities against the American people and their infants!!! Two teaspoon of toxic chemicals per gallon of baby formula is allowed by Federal Workers???

Would you feed your baby or children contaminated milk with two teaspoon of insecticide per gallon? FDA, federal government workers, are saying it "OK" to feed American babies two teaspoons of plastic modifiers for every gallon of milk or baby formula.

The defense lawyer and community activists were attempting to block the use of those evidences in other cases? Please go attend the Seattle and King County and police meetings, ...and just sit and listen to what the community activists want. I want Seattle and King County Police, they are doing some great work! Let us review the work of community activists in Chicago, 150,000 violent crimes every year and 450 + death every year. Review where community activism is strongest in Chicago, Camden, Oakland, Detroit, Phily etc. each one of those cities have violent crime rate and deaths higher than solders experience in Iraq or Afghanistan.

Quarantine does not determine if this cat is a carrier of an infectious disease which could destroy our cattle farm or hog farm or chicken farm. The carrier can be infected with a disease which will not kill the host but will kill other animals! Do you know if it does or not? Animal lovers are killer and bio-terrorist spreaders of infectious diseases with no compassion or safety consideration for the community! Animal lovers are human and native species haters!

European black plague caused by invasive species, rats and cats (cats were on board ships to control the rat population). Florida everglades being damaged by invasive species, like cute cats destroy native song birds, migrating birds and cute pot belly pigs which can breed in two years and twice a year consume all the food from the native species. It seems these animal lovers are illiterate and don't read. What have the NSA been telling us? That foreign countries are going to conduct bio-terror. Now they discovered, shipping an infected cute kitten and the animal control people will gladly spread the infection with utter disregard for the community. What have the Boarder Patrol been telling us in the news network? Watch out for strange behaviors, nuclear terror, bio-terror, chemical terror, bombs, drugs! So why was a stray with no known origin allowed into this county? Did these people forget it was stray animal which caused the black plague which killed off 60-70% of all Europeans? Did they forget it was stray cats, stray rats and brown snakes which cause the extinction of 9 out of 11 native bird species in Guam? Why is a cute cat allowed into the country? Other than the fact that it is cute? Fri, 13 Jul 2012 17:10:38 +0000 http://www.komonews.com/news/offbeat/Chinese-kitten-stows-away-on-LA-bound-freighter-162301796.html#IDComment401105499
