Post Blocking

G'day Everyone.

Ever have one of those days when you get a writer's cramp? Well, not only I get a writer's cramp, but a Post Blocking. It's when I write something and then I can't eventually post the article to the blog because I need to think about the article more. Some times, that's difficult as well as to make sure I know of what I'm doing.

Lately, when you watch the news about how a man in Texas decided to end his life in the battle against the IRS, I feel very sorry for that person. But it does sound a message of how the IRS is treating people in this state of Recession. I encourage people to deal with the IRS on a non-violent level. One thing is for certain, God will judge these IRS tax people in the day of their death. For that man who died in the plane crash, God rest his soul.

Here are some articles that I've been considering about lately:

When you get a guy like this one, brave and resourceful, that tangles with a bank, he did what he had to do.
I like a man that has built his own home on a land that was brought from a bank. But since the bank was drooling over an investment that they could foreclose and make a profit on, they ought to be reconsidering the decision that they'd do. I also feel bad that this guy will also get back at his brother who sued him as well.
Tearing down his own house might have been the toughest thing he had to do. But alternative? I would have burned it myself. Great job, buddy!

Article that should concern many in the winter time:

It's no excuse here. To hear a man complain of stomach pains and a ambulance crew blocked or stuck in/by snow, I get concerned very much. Plus, the 911 center just didn't get their act together in realization that this person could be having a LEVEL ONE medical emergency after so many calls for HELP. And to hear this *WIMPY* ambulance crew? Oh come on! But the worst is.. they let this man die without help!

I'm going to tell you something here. I know a friend of mine, who works for an ambulance company, that is very dedicated to his job. I'm not saying where he is or what company he works for, but he goes above and beyond the call of duty often. When it snows bad, like it did a few weeks ago, he straps on tall snow boots, packs a medical bag in the ambulance van, a radio, winter coat, and programs his GPS device to copy the same address the call is going to.
If the ambulance van gets stuck by snow, they do call for the local snow plow come and plow the street. But, my friend doesn't wait. He gets right out and goes right to the address. More than often he reports in the call that was reported in the 911 call, that sounds like a simple call for help, turns into a actual emergency distress call! My friend has saved more lives in these winter storms.

When I look at my friend, I look back at that article. These ambulance people didn't do their above and beyond the call of duty. They only cared of staying warm and not being out there in the snow storm. They didn't care about human life. So I hope every ambulance departments learn a lesson of what happened in Hazelwood, PA.
In the next few months, they'll be defending themselves in a lawsuit for sure.

So I think my posting block is over. I'll get on to other posts. Have a great weekend.

Semper FI!
