rambling ranty at societys ills!
3am, today!

the cop cars went flying by 3 of em, and skettered around the corner toward the shelter! its too dark to get good pics, but even as i write this, the good is triumphing over evil, and they wipe a little more of the scorge off the streets!! god, that makes me feel just great!!

lately, in my little corner of the woods, the police are making strides to get the scumshits off my streets! what they aughta do, and i been saying this all along, is to take the shelter out from under the rats by emniment domain, and just tear the shit down! that way, the rat bastards will leave the area and go elseware! if i was mayor of this town, by god, thats what i would do, thank god we have a supreme court that will allow for this, now we need the politicians to get some friggen backbone and impliment emniment domain!!! and do it now!!! not only here, but in every city and town in america! what a novel way to get rid of the drug problem! take the property for the public good! they aready take cars and other personal property when they bust ya, so why not go a step further!

but ya know something? theres a flip side to this emniment domain business. and that innocent people will suffer because if a town declares a neighbourhood "blighted" they will invoke enmiment domain, and take eldery peoples homes, and tear them down for develoupment, kinda like they did in the 60's for "urban renewal".

yes, this emniment domain is nothing new! its been around for years! it is just has been in the news lately because of the recent supreme court decision. i recall when i was a rug rat we having to move out of the neighbourhood, and by 1970, there was a freeway, a harbour park, and office buildings and hotels sprung up, but right smack in the middle of the neighbourhood was a naval station, which was left untouched. and i remember the "urban renewal" signs going up, and watched as my neighbourhood was dismanteled, and reformed into something that by the early 80's when the greedy bastards came in and took all the property, and abolished rent control, created condominiums, and all the poor folk like us were forced to move away.

so you see, there is good and bad in all of this. one aspect, we can take drug neighbourhoods and clean em up, but on the other hand they take elderly peoples homes and rip em up. me thinks the politicians that invoke this believe it is easier to displace elderly people rather than displace the scumrats who deal drugs to our kids, and create more crime. must be a money thing.

the construction deal thats going on across the street from me. a underground parking gararge, retail space for shopping, and a hotel and office space. the salvation army used to have a building there and fed these scumshits gruel every day, and what not. then the building came down, and this one is going up. and 2 years from now, my building will disappear. down the block, across the street from scumland, is what they call "gateway plaza" it is comprised of 3 city blocks, that the city sold to the mormans, and the mormans built the retail space and their idea of "affordable housing" the apts start unfurnished at 500 a month! and they do a real credit check on ya. i can afford to live there, but got a rats ass channce in hell of being "approved"! i am not a morman. such is life.

in other news, there was a 6 alarm fire at a junior high school yesterday afternoon, and when i went to work at 5 pm last night, the school was real crispy and going down. now that is just a filthy rotten shame. seems a server in the school short circuited, and thats what started the conflaguration. 48 fire fighters per alarm; thats 288 fire fighters in all and then some! as far as i know, no one got hurt, as the teachers and staff that was in there had gotten out. and in interviews of the rich folks, instead of asking if anyone was hurt, all they were concerned about is where the kids will be going to school next year!

well, over the last week, when i went down the street to lock the gates at the parking lot for the construction foreman, i noticed that diamond parking was taking over, and by friday, they were all set up, and i asked the forman if he would find out whats what, and yesterday morning, i got my $50 and he told me that i dont need to be locking those gates anymore, BUT, he said that he wanted me to make sure that the gates around the construction site were locked at night when the workers went home; which makes NO SENSE at all, since they lock the site up when they leave! so later on i will try to catch the foreman, and get him to make it clear exactly what he wants me to do! i have never seen those gates around the construction site unsecured all the time they have been there! and truthfully, i dont want to take this guys $50 bucks for essentially doing nothing!

sammy the samoan's dad is death sick. and he had to goto seattle to attend to him. monday nights is his shift but i am working it. and he also works thursday; thats another 16 hours i might pick up, if he aint here. the pay period ends midnight friday, mountain goat time! so my projected hours for the period is 72 hours, now theres 500 bux! on the 20th! hot damn!

i got my 2nd wind, so to speak, when the cops went flying by, before that i was drifting in and out of unconsciousness! the coffee wasnt helping. but now, i am wide eyed and bushy tailed! yahoo radio is helping a great deal! i am listening to good old real music from the 60's and they are playing great songs! i usually listen to talk radio, but on occasion, i do listen to the music. connie francis sings; "im sorry" woot!!! love it!

welp. i said my few syllables, what say you? while im sleeping today, y'all have a slap happy day, and try to stay cool!
