Green New Deal: Fact versus Fiction

Wow, a liberal guy, the former editor of Popular Mechanics, says the Green New Deal is a bad idea. You could have asked me. Yes, I still want fresh air, safe drinking water, and cheap energy, however, current alternative energy sources such as solar and wind energy are poor providers. To make current renewables work we have to solve the battery issue.

Batteries are toxic, use a large amount of fossil fuel to produce, and are extremely hazardous to dispose of. If we solve the battery problem of storage, toxic chemicals, and disposal, it might make the eleven to twenty-two percent solar cells efficiency reasonable.

Storing and producing energy closer to the user is more efficient. A lot of energy is lost in the transmission of power from the say, a dam on a river to a city many miles and sometimes hundreds of miles away. It is also expensive and dangerous to maintain the powerlines running across the country.

It is uncertain what new technology or discovery will help the world's energy problems. The certainty is that scientist, engineers, and inventors are working to solve our energy needs.

From my own research, I know that we should stop building more wind farms. Wind turbines are inefficient, need constant cleaning, and are difficult and dangerous to maintain. We should use the money to build solar arrays. They are easier and safer to clean and maintain,  simple to upgrade and work in most areas of our country.

I also like nuclear power. New designs are small and powerful enough to run a small city of fifty to sixty thousand people. They use golfball size fuel to make energy and are much safer than traditional nuclear power plants. Another advantage of a local power plant is there is less energy loss from the transmission of the electrical power. These plants are also easier to harden against terrorist attacks and electrical magnetic pulses (EMPs) generated by high altitude nuclear detonations.

I can go on and on about alternative energy power generation. A friend of mine and I in Hawaii proposed the building of a plasma gasification plant. It would solve a big problem for the island state by getting rid of some landfills that use up precious real estate and as a by-product produce much-needed electricity. There are a lot more ideas where that came from but for right now I will end it here.

Preferred Pronouns or Prison

Resist with all your might! I am not a homophobe. I know many homosexuals and lesbians and are related to a few. I don't condone their lifestyle choices, however, I would not turn them away if they seek help for whatever reason, food, clothing, shelter, counseling, etc. I love all people. God does not make trash. People choose and God lets them.

The scientist who has not come out to say that there are only two biological sexes need to have their facts checked. Chromosomes determine your sex if you have two "X" chromosomes you are a girl and if you have one "X" and one "Y" chromosome you are a boy, these are facts, not opinions, facts. I know you want to say that there have been people born with two types of genitalia. This very rare and does happen, however, by checking the chromosomes you can tell which sex they are.

Gender identification is a social construct it is an opinion and no, opinions are not facts. Transgenders are in need of attention. They want people, family, and friends to pay attention to them. Studies have shown that children who think they are transgender usually become transgender after seeing one of their friends become transgender. Many became transgender because of attention or what psychologist call gender dysphoria. Some go on to have gender reassignment surgery and after a time commit suicide at a higher rate than everyone else because of regret. Again this fact not opinion.

Lastly (if I put this at the beginning not a lot of people would read to here), sex in any homosexual, lesbian, or same-sex relationship is unacceptable to God. This has been a teaching of the Catholic Church for two thousand years. It is unfortunate that in recent years there are some priest and bishops who are gay and some have been found to have their gay loves in the rectories. It is also difficult to teach the faithful when we have a Pope who makes ambiguous statements. Though the Pope may say strange things it does not change the teachings of the Church.

God became a man, Jesus, and established the Catholic Church on Earth Himself. If you are struggling with your sexuality pray. Pray the Rosary, use the sacrament of penance or more commonly called confession to ask for forgiveness, pray for healing and receive communion. Return to God, return to the Church, and return to your family. Amen.

12 Rules for Life (Animated) - Jordan Peterson

I have been a fan of Jordan Peterson for some time now. I have watched his lectures and interviews and find him to easy to understand and follow. If you are on the left side of the social and political spectrum you may have a dislike for some of the things he says. I hope you will allow yourself to be open-minded and listen to what he has to say.

5 Stories the Media Refused to Tell You

Should Hawaii be a Sanctuary State?

Hawaii the place I grew up in, the place where the majority of my family and friends live, to me it is home even though I live in Oregon. I was recently there for Christmas. I meet with friends and family. Showed my daughter some of the places that were special to me. Enjoyed the smell of the salty air and the warmth of the sun. I did all of these things and not once did it cross my mind that I should relocate back to Hawaii. Just now I realized how sad that I have no intention of returning home for good.

I left Hawaii to have a better future for my children. I left so I didn't have to work so hard which made life suck, wake up early, work job one, work job two, work job three, eat, sleep and repeat. I have been living away for over 18 years and the only thing I miss about Hawaii are my family and friends. I realized I didn't have time to go to the beach, go fishing, or diving while I was living in Hawaii. All I was worried about was how I was going to pay for this bill or that tax or even for food. It was a never-ending battle.

My life now is way better. I am not worried about the bills as much. (No I didn't win the lottery or get a large inheritance) I am able to make sure that my child is getting the best education and growing up better then I did. My life isn't all sunshine. I have been stricken with rheumatoid arthritis and can't work and I spend most of my time at home. An advantage for me to read and write and learn. I am blessed with a wife who is caring and understanding and I have children and grandchildren who bring joy to my life.

Now back to the topic at hand. Hawaii will be in greater trouble than it already is if it becomes a sanctuary state. Homeless people were already a problem when I left Hawaii in 2001. I could see how the problem on the Big Island had grown to make a place I use to play and party at becoming unusable to the people and unsafe for children. Some of the people rely heavily on the state for food, clothing and everyday items like soap. Though many organizations that help are funded by donations, people living in Hawaii pay a premium price for everything.

Inviting lawbreakers into Hawaii is a seriously bad idea. Illegal Aliens who do not care about the laws of our sovereignty may continue to break other laws to get what they want. What about all of the other people who are on a waiting list to legally immigrate to America, how do they feel about illegal aliens jumping to the head of the line. Where will all of the money come from to pay for the social services that are needed? The list of needed tax revenue to support a sanctuary state will bankrupt some families in Hawaii. Hawaii has yet to take care of it's dying Hawaiian Natives, myself included. My family property was stolen from my ancestors by the American Government in 1896. Not to mention all of the other natives who lived and owned property in Hawaii.

I realize that I probably will never see any reparations from the US Government, people on the wait list for Hawaiian Homes Lands will continue to die waiting, and I will never be a member of the board of directors of Kamehameha Schools. (Catholic Joke) What I can say for certain is that Hawaii can not allow itself to become a sanctuary state for the people who live there. It is already difficult for the working class in Hawaii to make a living adding on the needed tax revenue will cause more people, like me, to give up on living in the place they grew up in and cause all of the mana of the aina to leave.
