Good Sunday evening to everyone..

Aw, thanks! :) But tell folks to follow website666.com :)

That’s right.. my mistake.  http://website666.com/ Is the one to follow. Update accordingly.. He’s a good guy—and like me, has two websites. Unlike me doesn’t have both on Tumblr, just in case one goes down.

Careful, the NIA think Ron Paul is qualified to be president. The docu may be good, but personally, any1 who says XYZ is qualified to be president loses my confidence. By today’s standards anyone qualified to be president should not be allowed to run

A good friend of mine (http://life.thepete.com/) with a good point.. Read his site. He and I agree … I’d say 90% of the time. 

He was commenting on my recent post on the documentary on colleges and how they fail students.. 

The docu was … perhaps a little slanted. I agree with the premise (as I look at an envelope on my desk with my latest school loan bill) … I wish a REAL unbiased documentary would be made on the type of topic we all need to be aware of.

I’m wondering.. the weekend question: When did Bill Clinton decide he wants the government to censor the internet..?

Just for the hell of it, here are Lady Gaga’s penis shows, banned by American Idol but not by Coal Speaker.

I would.

I will. 

I did.

Just in time for graduates to start pay bills: The college conspiracy

Ever wonder if high-priced school loans were a waste? Ever want to get involved in a construction trade but were told ‘no’ by someone smarter? Have you ever experienced the lack of knowledge of guidance counselors in school telling you to pursue the wrong thing, and then years later being stuck in the pit of college debt?

Lots of us have..

And as a recent college grad myself and still in the same job I have had all throughout my schooling, I think I’m ready to concede that college is not always the best way to go..

So for those who think that way, too, a new documentary is here to assist you in your knowledge and point of view called the COLLEGE CONSPIRACY..

Pity the once great mall

It’s a tough job these days holding up a mall.

Wayback in time to last century, when main street was killed by the way of shopping, with floors shiny and new and fountains rolling fresh water for background news. Yes, indeed, those were the days. Food courts… stores as far as the eye could see.. Even small kiosks selling things you’ve never buy but sure were happy to laugh at as you walked by..

The great American mall. The shopping experience of your lifetime, whenever you wanted it.

Fast forward to the new age… Walmart has everything you need.. No matter where it was made and how good or bad the quality may be.. And what’s not there can be found online. No need for bookstores when you have Amazon, or even your Kindle. No need for food courts when you have McDonalds and drive throughs..
We seemingly have chosen less quality simply because with it comes convenience.

These days, though, the great American mall is struggling to stick around.. Some think they have overstayed their welcome.. others feel they’ll be missed.

My local mall is no different.. Three stores there have closed within the last month alone. Walking the halls of the immense Schuylkill Mall has turned into a pretty lonely venture. 

But it’s not just the abandoned coal mines of Pennsylvania facing the prospect of a future without a central shopping location.. it’s nationwide: A simply Google news search will bring back results from all over the nation of malls and stores closing in rapid style.. Even more: Go for a Google image search of mall closings from all over.

All of that, along with continuing weak numbers in the retail salescategory, is spelling out trouble for the near future. Specifically speaking: Do you know WHY retail sales are up? … and if you look deep into the numbers, PURCHASES ARE DOWN. The disconnection is easy to understand: Inflation has caused a surge in prices. So while there are more dollars coming in there aren’t really more products going out..

The nation’s economy is crumbling.. Infrastructure is at its most horrendous in many areas of the United States.. Inflation is rearing its ugly head. Gas prices are dangerously high. Food prices are extremely dangerous too.. And all the way, people are deciding: No shopping, no books, no jewelry. 

Hence the death of the mall.

.I remember a time, early in my life last century, when a family visit to the mall was exciting. I’d be allowed to buy a He-Man action figure.. my sister would shop in those hip stores where most clothing looked like Madonna wore it.. And after all was over, we’d eat at one of the many choices for food.

Now.. the mall is a quick experience. People do go, but only for what they really need. And when they get there, sometimes they are surprised to see the store they were going to closed down with a sign on not to trespass..
