Text of the page (random words):
the last few years i m not going to go into details but my stress scores have been well above 200 for the last seven years straight at least i haven t had a serious illness yet whew one of the most stressful parts of my life is being in the military with the incessant assignment changes and all the stress that comes with moving deployments etc and the insidious part of it is that it makes it difficult to establish and maintain close friendships i don t really have any friends right now i have people i can joke with or have a beer with but no one with whom i feel i can relax and really open up i feel very alone but here s the thing i used to always have someone i could vent to and i d complain about work life marriage what have you but i don t want to do that anymore so my lack of friends i can open up to is pretty much self imposed i know there are 3 4 people who would be glad to listen to me talk about my problems but 1 i don t want to dump my problems on someone else 2 i don t want to change any relationship to a whine fest i have already lost one friend because i complained about my life to her way too much 3 my wife considers it a betrayal if i talk to anyone about our issues but i can t talk to my wife about our issues either millions of people apparently go through life fine without being whiners and aren t upset about it they just deal with life why can t i why do i feel the urge to go whine to someone sometimes i think i still don t understand how to be a person 4 comments filed under me philosophy february 25 2009 6 46 pm there s got to be a joke in this somewhere quoting myself on another website democrats liberals may spread their socialist ideology through their domination of schools but they truly educate the populace about the efficacy of socialism every time they control 2 of the 3 branches of government leave a comment filed under economics leadership parenting politics rant social issues two kinds of people february 24 2009 9 49 am it begins i didn t think it would happen so fast but there is a real undeniable logic to the rehabilitation of president george w bush s legacy he was a great president it may take decades before most people realize it but he was a great president 2 comments filed under leadership parenting link of admiration politics february 23 2009 8 00 pm a polite society so for my masters degree i m taking a class on interagency operations despite the title it seems to be less about government agencies and more about how humans interact in groups i learned quite a bit from bureaucracy by james q wilson i m learning a little less from bowling alone by putnam but the basic theme is clear us citizens are becoming less and less socially involved we interact less we join groups less we help each other less that s not really a surprise i remember when i was a kid we used to run across everyone s lawns as we played war cowboys indians spies etc we didn t hang out on anyone else s lawn but if it was in the way we went across it now it seems as if everyone wants privacy fences around their property i found my best friend by just going out and wandering around in a young boy attracting drainage ditch and he was out there poking around too i think that would be less likely to happen today it s not the internet although that doesn t help people form groups across lines of interest that ignore geography i have friends from blogging that i will never ever meet or have only met once it s not tv and video games although that may have helped because people see entertainment with the home as more cost effective and apparently more rewarding than going out and interacting with people i submit to you however that it was the progressives and especially political correctness that poisoned societal interactions and is in the process of killing us society i know i know you re thinking nathan is there anything you can t blame on progressives liberals democrats there may be some truth to that and i realize i tend to do that or i wouldn t have put those words into your mouth er fingers but it seems to me that the penalty for social mis steps is far far higher than ever before it seems to me that it is too easy to sue someone for doing something you don t like it is too easy to ruin the life of someone who says something you don t like right now teachers can t hug students in today s society men are increasingly not allowed to be alone with children i assume that a male coach for a high school girls sports team is becoming less and less acceptable men are assumed to be predators whites are assumed to be racist and worst of all there is more and more protection for jerks it used to be if someone was being an ass you could give them a poke in the nose nowadays that would get you thrown in jail and sued so instead of a polite society where everyone is assumed to be honorable and trustworthy until they demonstrate differently instead of a polite society where problems are dealt with immediately and appropriately and settled between adults at the lowest level we have socially protected classes who can say and do almost anything without fear of reprisal and socially detested classes who must fear employment and legal reprisals for expressing opinions and almost all disputes being resolved only through the involvement of authorities i think people are more and more afraid of interacting with fellow humans because the penalties for minor social mis steps mean loss of income or loss of freedom being thrown in jail rather than having the worst be a short sharp reminder of civility from which you can heal or maybe i m trying to combine too many different ideas into one post but i don t think it is an unrelated phenomenon that as the actual legal rules are enacted to protect and encourage the perpetually offended social interaction goes down remember punishment works best when meted immediately after the misdeed leave a comment filed under leadership parenting philosophy rant social issues february 22 2009 11 50 pm i agree sort of you unspecified don t deserve to be rich so says matt miller of the daily beast american capitalism is a meritocracy they ve always been told a place where people basically end up economically where they deserve to yet you can t open the paper nowadays without seeing screaming evidence that this notion is a fraud does former ceo kerry killinger deserve to retire to an island with 100 million after destroying washington mutual did bob rubin deserve his 115 million for making citigroup a ward of the state and what about the several thousand less prominent geniuses across wall street who made off with less loot but tens of millions nonetheless peddling mortgage related securities that produced illusory profits and that hits on the sort of part of my agreement capitalism is not completely a meritocracy but it is not devoid of meritocracy either in fact capitalism is rather agnostic on the subject of meritocracy capitalism in my understanding is based on a pyramid of responsibility authority the basic idea of capitalism is that you generally don t have to put effort into maximizing profit on any one sales item you can accept a miniscule profit from any one transaction but you attempt to maximize the number of transactions so the broader your customer base the richer you get if you are at the top thus the workers on the bottom don t have much authority or responsibility they show up for work and everything is taken care of for them from calculating how much they should get paid to arranging training to providing a safe work environment to withholding their taxes to sick leave and unemployment even health care issues if their job includes that basically the lowest level worker is consciously or unconsciously seeking a life without risk or where the biggest risk is spending more than they can afford on the meager salary that comes with risk avoidance then the higher up you go the more personal risk you have the more accountability the more authority the more responsibility for the most part there are tracks levels in the us version of capitalism there is the worker track the crew chief track the lower individual management track the management supervisor track the owner track and that s just mcdonald s different industries have different tracks it is possible to graduate from yale and go right into the ceo track it is possible to be even more intelligent creative and capable and yet still be stuck in the labor track due to circumstances preventing the graduation from high school performance based promotion meritocracy only occurs within a track to jump tracks you need education or apprenticeship in fact it s pretty dang amazing that in the us education alone can get you into upper tracks it s pretty dang amazing that someone can in my own personal experience be an enlisted soldier and then work hard to get a degree and then once obtaining that degree can be chosen to become a military officer no matter how good i had been as a soldier i could not have become an officer without the degree but even with the degree i had to apply to be accepted in the higher track drawing again from my experience i was excited about being assigned to an intelligence analysis center in hawaii i thought i ll work my way into being an expert on this subject i ll report to my boss who will report to the pacific commander who reports to the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff sort of who reports to the secdef who reports to the president i ll be 5 degrees from the president and if i do well my name will be known then when i retire i could get hired as an undersecretary of defense or state for my chosent subject area and then can move up from there get in the news a little bit for doing something good and maybe i could be a later president s secdef choice hah i found out there s still something like 13 layers if not more between me and the president i m not sure if the pacific commander ever noticed my name on anything most likely i will never be able to jump to a track that gets me to the appointment level of government departments i could be hired by the dod or dos but will never be appointed to anything unless i do really well and get really lucky and get promoted within the military to the o 6 colonel level but that s tough to do it really is another track despite colonels being a field grade officer like majors and lt colonels full colonels really are apprentice generals retiring from a colonel spot usually puts you on a executive ish track within the government which is still a step down from the appointment track running for president is the same way although anyone can grow up and be president most of us are not anywhere near the president track you can apply for higher tracks like clinton did by running for governor of arkansas or be apprenticed like the first president bush was to vice president after running the cia and being an ambassador but it comes down to name recognition and being in the right place at the right time if you want to be president your best bet is to find a good district to run for the national house of representatives running for your state legislature is a lower track and will never get you there then if you succeed in the house of representatives you have to make sure you make a name for yourself from there once you have enough name recognition you can run for senate since there are less senators you can really make a name for yourself and then try a run for the presidency if you take off in the nomination campaign you have jumped up to yet another track but despite this year s example being a senator and depending on name recognition is not the best way better to take your name recognition from being a representative or later senator then run for governor because being governor is easier to present your case and record to be president executives have better excuses for political mis steps than senators do but i digress the point is it is all about levels or tracks or channels so these ceos get the great salaries regardless of success or failure because they got on the ceo track once there you have obtained a pay band that will make you very wealthy even if you screw things up so if you want to be rich you should never just depending on doing your job well you should do your job well in order to make the case for jumping up to the next higher track do that and the sky really is the limit too many people don t understand that they need to be looking to jump tracks misunderstanding that may have more to do with glass ceilings than gender or race leave a comment filed under economics leadership parenting philosophy politics social issues february 20 2009 11 45 pm now is the time on sprockets where we ask non politically correct questions on the previous piece about octomom a comment was left i blame oprah for running shows on mothers who have 6 kids in one go and receive public sponsorship from companies wanting to appear sympathetic clearly octo mom watched these shows and thought to herself how much free money and publicity she could receive if she topped the record by having eight kids that kind of triggered something for me the thought had been half formed but here it is now 75 formed and perhaps just enough to get me in trouble do you agree that society united states at least teaches women that they should get money for what they are but men should only get money for what they do male models are generally despised as are men who marry for money and men who are not good providers an term that is simultaneously archaic and yet appropriate for the way men are treated by family courts there are certainly women who are successful and richly rewarded for what they do yes but i really can t see a man thinking like this men don t expect all of society to provide them with a comfortable life and extras for their kids in general men expect to work for every single thing they get in life is it any wonder more women vote democrat and more men vote republican eh there are a dozen ways you can poke holes in this post if you need help finding any let me know in the comments and i ll suggest a few bottom line this problem of being expected to get money support just for the wonderfulness of being probably doesn t infect that many women and probably infects a number of men too i just don t like it i wouldn t want my daughter thinking she can get out of a speeding ticket by crying get special treatment from a salesman or official by batting her eyes using her body to get cash or combining attractiveness with ambiguous promises to string potential suitors along in order to get better treatment or romance i ve seen it all too many times to count i guess that s just the way it is 2 comments filed under badly thought out rants rant social issues two kinds of people february 20 2009 10 23 pm octomom a sign of
