Musings of A Central Bank Strike for Pay Raise

The U. S. Inflation Calculator on the Internet indicates price inflation of 121.4% since I got out of high school in 1984.  My pay in relative terms has only risen 75% across all occupations I've tried and examined during that time.  Maybe I just need to go on strike at the Central Bank.  Monetary inflation always outpaces price inflation, and price inflation always out paces labor wages.  I'm just sooooooooo sick of this dynamic in Keynsian-Marxist economics.

The Basic Value of Life

Well, I did my first 10 1/2 hour day at welding .052 flux cord, building rail cars for the railroad yesterday, and I got a good light burn on my left side.  My eyes are slightly burned but ok, but I know this thicker welding wire is a killer to eye health.  The only people who seem to thrive at this place are convicts, so I'm not too impressed with 118 degree F work this summer being a career starter.  This is the place where my best friend from welding school quit after about a month of heat last summer and died in his sleep three weeks later.  He was five months younger than me.  I've had insomnia since I started this job, so in total my body is telling me that this job (career) doesn't seem to be for me.

Two years of welding school for nothing more than a piece of paper to hang on the wall and a dead end life experience.  I guess I'll see about going back over-the-road in a truck.

Oh, I guess it's not that bad.  I am 24 hours from my first bachelor's degree, and law school or a master's in social economy is that much closer.  Who knows where it will all wind up?

Stop the Presses!!!

I am this evening informed that I am accepted into the Summer Innocence Project as an undergraduate law student intern.  I will be working a "case on appeal" with other law students, and I hope to apply my gleanings to Irwin Schiff's case.

Dear Irwin,

Your letter dated May 17, mailed to me May 18 and arrived moments ago, informs me that your proposed protest materials did not get to you.  They are not yet returned to me, so I shall conclude your warden is impressed with my art work and is keeping them for his own artistic interest on his office wall, if they do not arrive soon.

I am enclosing photocopies of the signs that may get to you.

Anyway, we are moving forward on the July 4th protest at the Dallas Central Bank, 12 noon to 2 p.m. on your recent letter of approval.

Please share my contact information with Cindy Nunan, so we may work to get your case proper attention.  The Innocence Project contacted me last week for a phone interview but then did not come through with it.  They stay busy.

I am looking at taking some time out of school to get my money up, as I'm down to my last $900.00.  A welding job offers up to $77K per annum that I am to test for next week.

Most respectfully,

Gene Chapman

It Would Have Been Nice to Vote, But ....

It would have been nice to vote for city council today in Lewisville, but a couple of things went wrong.

First, I was asked to provide a "government issued" identification card, which turned out to be my driver's license that cost me about $60 two years ago.  This results is a de-facto $60 poll tax to vote in Lewsiville, Texas, on its face.  I paid the $60 poll tax before I thought it through.

Second, when I asked for a paper ballot, I was informed that such did not exist and that I would be required to vote on a computer.  I left without attempting to legitimize the illegitimate. 

Having been a 2008 U. S. Presidential candidate for the Libertarian Party, I can say with first hand authority that computer voting is illegitimate.  I watched one computer poll after another be broken into by hackers back then, they then laughing at us on the Internet at their achievement.  A computer vote is a poll subject to manipulation and cheating, only the hackers don't advertise their activity when they are done, making illegitimate the vote.

I am about to complete this week my fourth university class dealing with political topics, and every class I've had unanimously ridicules to the point of laughter the idea of voting on a computer being legitimate.

Our system of voting has become an Orwellian dystopian interpretation of jabberwokish doublespeak.  My suggestion to the citizens of Lewisville, as a citizen of 34 years, a former political candidate and a current pre-law student is that they think long and hard in paying taxes to an illegitimately elected city government.

Most respectfully,

Gene Chapman,

2008 Libertarian Party U. S. Presidential Candidate
