I have decided to turn over a new leaf. I am going to post every week in order to share with you my observations of events that seem worthy, in my opinion, of a dissertation.
This week the California State Assembly passed legislation that will give the Mayor of Los Angeles greater control over the Los Angeles Unified School District. In short, the Mayor has been empowered to wield greater weight to the decision making that is customarily reserved to the Schools staff and the School board. Governor Schwazenegger is on record as supporting this transfer of power and it is a foregone conclusion that if he has not, he will sign this new “manifesto” for management of the Los Angeles Unified School District.
There is no doubt in my mind that school management needs to be reviewed in every city, county and State nationwide and that there are many opportunities for improvement in every area of education. It just does not seem to me that adding another level of political muscle is the answer. But then, I have been amazed at how few people want to correct problems – local, State or Federal. This is, indeed, the age of selfishness. There seems to be no vision – no broad brush of potential for the future. Indeed, it is impossible to grasp the possibility that our politicians even know what they stand for – or believe in – let alone possess a vision for our country.
Increasingly we hear only the special interest of the day, week, month or year. What the Republicans are for, the Democrats are against and vice versa, The people must not know that the opposing party could have a good idea. To dare exercise vision, hope or a plan would turn the debate from politics to the candidate’s competence and that would be a risky endeavor. We Americans are only interested in the polished, well coiffed and glibe candidate that will successfully skirt the issues of truth and make us believe that his or her speech writers have caught the substance of the man or woman.
For the truly dedicated public servant to bring up the realistic needs that must be confronted, is tantamount to “political suicide”. An example of the reluctance of the American public to willingly grasp the facts and act in our long term interests is clearly illustrated in President Bushs’ polls. Few of our citizens want to deal with the world as it is – only as THEY want it to be. Add this “mix” to our educational guidelines and what have we gained? The last time I looked, school boards were elected by the people whom they serve. They do not run as politicians, though we all know they are political or they would not be there. Nevertheless, we try to choose them on the basis of their vision for our schools and in the best interests of educating our children. What can be gained by adding another layer of political “muscle”?
It seems that we can be assured of one thing. Education in California will take second place to politics. Maybe we can call it the “dumbing down of education”? Why not? Education and politics have "dumbed down" Our children for years. Now it is time to “dumb down the system? California, as always, leads the way. .
For those of you who wonder what I mean by “dumb down”, it is lowering the standards. I believe that we in California excel in “dumb” but fail in applied “smart”.
This web page is intended to examine the questions of the day in a meaningful and simplistic way. "Everyone is entitled to my opinion".

POLITICAL DUMBING DOWN?<
Sunday, July 30, 2006
The other day our daughter, who lives with us and rents out her home, suggested that our towels were getting ragged and needed to be replaced. She went on to say, “You should have nice towels.” I responded that we have nice towels – we just don’t use them for every day. She retorted with incredulity, ‘You should use the good towels. You deserve it”. I was taken aback. I had never considered that my every day practices were a matter of “deserving” better. Mind you – her comments were not ill advised. She was right. Our towels are tattered but we have nice towels which hang in the bathroom and are the ones that guests to our home see. Otherwise, for every day use, we use our old ragged towels that still work. Since when does a tattered towel make a statement as to ones feeling of “self worth”?
This exchange with my daughter caused me to ponder the different perspectives of our generations. When I was growing up, I was taught to appreciate that which I had and not to expect the “luxuries” of life. Mind you – among the “luxuries” that I was not to expect were small items like electricity, a bathroom (Yes we had an old fashioned out house), a fine car. You see, we lived on a farm and my father, a not too successful farmer, did not have the money to install the modern necessities that were becoming available as I was growing up. We did not use credit. We paid for everything as we purchased it and if we couldn’t afford something, we did not have it. When rural electricity became available, we did not have the money to have the house wired, thus we did not do it. We did not owe anyone anything and we purchased only that which we had the money available to buy. We could not afford to modernize the house with an inside bathroom and certainly without electricity we did not have refrigeration, my mother cooked with a wood stove and our winter heat was provided by wood and coal. During World War II my father went to work in a defense industry and then, a car was purchased to provide transportation to and from work. For the first time in my lifetime, we actually had “spendable” income. Shortly after the war my mother was diagnosed with cancer and the small “nest egg” that my parents had accumulated was quickly used to pay the mounting medical bills.
In spite of the near poverty status of my youth, no one ever left the house without clean, freshly ironed clothes (ironed with irons heated on the cooking stove while meals were prepared) and the thought of a worn or frayed garment was absolutely taboo. I can still remember my mother exclaiming the necessity to change our clothes before we took a brief drive to visit a nearby relative. The very thought of a possible accident in which someone might notice that a member of our family had a worn or torn garment was prohibited. Mother would exclaim, “what if there is an accident?”
Today our citizenry wear hardly enough clothes to cover up the “details” of their body parts or wear clothes that seem at least four sizes too big (or too small depending on the time of day). Yet, they acclaim that they should have only the very latest technology from which to listen to their music, the very latest in television reception, the very best of refreshments (sodas, alcoholic, expresso or whatever) the latest model car and of course, the most idyllic vacation get away that a credit card can afford. Yet, when the credit card bills come in to be paid, they do not know where the money went. Give me a break. Some among us have their priorities askew. Is it me with my tattered towels or is the younger generation who has not figured out what is important?
Our children and grandchildren seem to have lost sight (or never learned) that life is a series of choices based on priorities. Every small sacrifice that I make reflects my priorities and choice. As long as I am able to achieve the proper end result, what does it matter whether I use a fifteen dollar towel or one with a hole that is barely noticeable?
Where did we go wrong when we raised our children? Were we so anxious to give them only the best of life that we neglected to teach them the value of life? Our daughter makes reasonable choices – she makes decisions that reflect good sense – but I was puzzled that she should think that our use of a worn towel reflected less than our sense of “value” or self esteem. That just seemed odd to me. No one owes me anything and my self worth is what I see it as. No more – no less.

WHAT ARE WE TEACHING OUR CHILDREN?
I don’t know how many of my friends, acquaintances and/or readers keep up with the news of the day. I suspect most of you. People who surf the web and access web pages such as mine are, I think, curious and likely news challenged. Thus, my comments about a news item of yesterday will come as no surprise. I was appalled by the news report of the young boy who was attacked on a school bus and worse, by the report that it took the father two weeks to gain access to the video of the bus attack. I could not believe that the school, the police and the bus driver would be so derelict in their responsibilities. It is amazing to me that our society has come to a point where we cannot confront issues of violence without “political correctness”.
Several months ago my brother in law, a bus driver for a school in Cottonwood, Arizona, punished a child who was misbehaving on his bus. He was terminated because he did not follow the school’s guidelines in dispensing punishment for a clear act of disobedience. My brother in law is a wonderful person, a strong disciplinarian but he has a unique way of relating to children. As I understand it, his offense was requiring the offending child to sit in an appointed seat away from his friends. If our schools and their staff cannot or will not permit simple ground rules of structure, how can we expect our children to grow up respecting the law? Isn’t it time we revisit our guidelines for building moral character and reviewed what constitutes right or wrong? Certainly, parents should take the lead, but should we not also support those in whose care we entrust our children and give them a broad foundation for the exercise of discipline?
I remember as a child learning first hand that any disciplinary action at school would be met with equal or greater discipline from my parents. My parents always supported the teacher at least insofar as I was ever to know. What, if any, discussions that may have been conducted outside of my hearing range, I never knew and for that, I am glad. I was sent to school to learn and my teachers were empowered to teach me discipline and to educate me. That, in my opinion, is as it should be. On the other hand, our teachers in those days knew right from wrong but alas, that should be a subject for a future dissertation.

The message that follows was forwarded to me. Although I do not know the person who wrote this and cannot personally attest to the events that he writes about, I believe the content of this letter is true. We just returned from three months in Mexico. We learned first hand as a guest in Mexico that Mexico requires and in fact demands far more from the US citizens crossing their border than we seem to demand from theirs. My husband and I believe that a guest worker program is needed but not at the risk of compromising the security of our country. We want SAFE borders. No more illegals of any nationality and our laws must be enforced fairly and in blind justice. Those who are here illegally must be required to go through the legal apparatus for gaining access to our country and ultimately, if they desire and have met our requirements, citizenship. No one should be granted citizenship who is not willing to abide by our laws and that means the laws that were in effect when they came across the border. People who hire illegals must be punished and people who deal in illegal entry should be punished. It is time our existing laws were enforced. At leat that is the way I see it.
The following message was forwarded to me. I urge you to read it.
Subject: U S CITIZENS WORKING IN MEXICO
The following from a director with SW BELL in Mexico City.
I spent five years working in Mexico. I worked under a tourist visa for three months and could legally renew it for three more months. After that you were working illegally. I was technically illegal for three weeks waiting on the FM3 approval.
During that six months our Mexican and US Attorneys were working to secure a permanent work visa called a FM3. It was in addition to my US passport that I had to show each time I entered and left the country. Barbara's was the same except hers did not permit her to work.
To apply for the FM3 I needed to submit the following notarized originals (not copies) of my:
1. Birth certificates for Barbara and me.
2. Marriage certificate.
3. High school transcripts and proof of graduation.
4. College transcripts for every college I attended and proof of graduation.
5. Two letters of recommendation from supervisors I had worked for at least one year.
6. A letter from The ST. Louis Chief of Police indicating I had no arrest record in the US and no outstanding warrants and was "a citizen in good standing."
7. Finally; I had to write a letter about myself that clearly stated why there was no Mexican citizen with my skills and why my skills were important to Mexico. We called it our "I am the greatest person on earth" letter. It was fun to write.
All of the above were in English that had to be translated into Spanish and be certified as legal translations and our signatures notarized. It produced a folder about 1.5 inches thick with English on the left side and Spanish on the right.
Once they were completed Barbara and I spent about five hours accompanied by a Mexican attorney touring Mexican government office locations and being photographed and fingerprinted at least three times. At each location (and we remember at least four locations) we were instructed on Mexican tax, labor, housing, and criminal law and that we were required to obey their laws or face the consequences. We could not protest any of the government's actions or we would be committing a felony. We paid out four thousand dollars in fees and bribes to complete the process. When this was done we could legally bring in our household goods that were held by US customs in Loredo Texas. This meant we rented furniture in Mexico while awaiting our goods. There were extensive fees involved here that the company paid.
We could not buy a home and were required to rent at very high rates and under contract and compliance with Mexican law.
We were required to get a Mexican drivers license. This was an amazing process. The company arranged for the licensing agency to come to our headquarters location with their photography and finger print equipment and the laminating machine. We showed our US license, were photographed and fingerprinted again and issued the license instantly after paying out a six dollar fee. We did not take a written or driving test and never received instructions on the rules of the road. Our only instruction was never give a policeman your license if stopped and asked. We were instructed to hold it against the inside window away from his grasp. If he got his hands on it you would have to pay ransom to get it back.
We then had to pay and file Mexican income tax annually using the number of our FM3 as our ID number. The companies Mexican accountants did this for us and we just signed what they prepared. I was about twenty legal size pages annually.
The FM 3 was good for three years and renewable for two more after paying more fees.
Leaving the country meant turning in the FM# and certifying we were leaving no debts behind and no outstanding legal affairs (warrants, tickets or liens) before our household goods were released to customs.
It was a real adventure and If any of our senators or congressmen went through it once they would have a different attitude toward Mexico.
The Mexican Government uses its vast military and police forces to keep its citizens intimidated and compliant. They never protest at their White House or government offices but do protest daily in front of the United States Embassy. The US embassy looks like a strongly reinforced fortress and during most protests the Mexican Military surround the block with their men standing shoulder to shoulder in full riot gear to protect the Embassy. These protests are never shown on US or Mexican TV. There is a large public park across the street where they do their protesting. Anything can cause a protest such as proposed law changes in California or Texas.
Please feel free to share this with everyone who thinks we are being hard on illegal immigrants.

IMMIGRATION Monday, April 24, 2006
Our politicians return to Washington today, hopefully to work. That, of course, remains to be seen. Actually, they will return to Washington to continue that which they do best. Point out the sins and errors of the other party and try to convince all of us that they are "worthy" of our support. Although immigration and energy are the number one domestic issues, realistically, one cannot expect that anything will get done. Our politicians are too busy trying to preserve themselves.
I support immigration. The fact that people from other countries want to come to our country and reap the benefits of a free society is, in my opinion, a tribute to our way of life and their ambition, character and self esteem. I do think that it is important for them to understand that we will respect their background, their culture and their belief but they should be prepared to live by and under our law.
That said, I believe that we must exercise care that those who come to our country come for the right reason, to reap the benefits of free enterprise and not to take advantage of our country and its humane charity or destroy it and all for which it stands. Our laws must protect those who want to work while preserving our freedoms and commitment to the rule of law. Every person who crosses the border should do so legally and and no person who has entered this country illegally should be given preferential treatment.
Those illegals who are here now should not be departed en mass. There should be a program implemented that would permit those who are here now to register and apply for a guest worker or appropriately identified program for short term legal status. A program should be implemented that would investigate each applicant and, if the applicant is found worthy, they would be issued a "guest worker" permit. A date certain should be established to accomplish this goal and anyone who is in this country illegally and has not complied with the process by that date, would be subject to deportation.
In my vision, once the illegals have complied with the guest worker registration they would be eligible to apply for citizenship under already established law and the guidelines that apply to all applicants for immigration and citizenship. No one would be given a free ride, no one would be exempt from our laws and no one would gain access to citizenship except by following our established laws. The guest worker permit could be extended by application for extension but it would not be renewed automatically. Anyone who failed to file for extension of their work status upon expiration of their guest worker status, would be subject to immediate deportation. No person, country of origin or race should be an exception.
In my opinion, no great new immigration law needs to be passed. Existing law needs to be clarified, amended to provide a "path" (but not a promise) for illegals to become legal and existing laws must be enforced.

WIFI OR NOT TO WIFI
The New Year has begun and there is every hope for a great year in spite of the latest news of the loss of 12 coal miners in West Virginia. However, this seems a good time to address a pet peeve of mine that continues to grow more frustrating with each attempt at communication utilizing wireless access to the net.
I have had several opportunities to use the WIFI technology as my access to the “web” and each time I am frustrated by the ongoing lack of reliability of WIFI as a provider for access to the web. It is as squirrely as a used car salesman’s veracity. It is not, in my opinion, a reliable resource that should be expected to provide reliable service – at least I have not found this to be so. I use WIFI from my local area network at home and if I am not sitting in close proximity to my system link, my transmission and access capability is squirrely. After many attempts and effort at utilizing the WIFI offerings that are becoming more prevalent and availabile, I have concluded that WIFI is a developing resource that holds great promise. I have also concluded that the charges for access to the web via WIFI providers exceed its actual value. In my opinion, more development, research and reliability needs to be generated by the providers of this service before it will become a viable resource for communication.
This “blog” will be posted via WIFI from Mexico, in spite of several attempts to gain enough transmission capacity to post it to the web. I will go to the source of the WIFI server and from there, ultimately get on line. From an area within the supposed transmission zone, it is a dud. I love the concept, I am frustrated with the actual performance. Why do our technical “nerds” continue to release and “hype” technology that is not yet perfected? WIFI in my opinion is such a technology.
