Voting

Your vote is your choice. Getting a vote is an important step in becoming responsible for the world around you, to making decisions about the physical world you choose to occupy. To let the world know what you believe. It’s important to share. We learn from each other and by making decisions as a group we can learn how to better our society.

Would you vote for a world where every decision you made was approved? Every law, mandate, mode of operating, what everything costs, where resources go, how energy is used, how your neighbors feel around you, and so much more. This is a world that the candidate you voted for wins. The law you approved gets approved. You pay the taxes you want to pay. You make the choices, and get to live alongside people who agree with you.

How to we create worlds where people make the majority of their own decisions on how to operate. Groups can find each other and live in their preferred manner, as long as it is in accordance with Earth’s laws. Earth’s laws can’t quite be voted on, they seem to be the system we exist in and we must respect Earth and her Natural Laws.

Your vote is your choice. What do you choose? How do you choose to live today, in a way you can share for future generations?

Safe Hugs,

The Happy President

The Code of The Secret Service

1 of 5,531

We’ve all had movies that have affected our lives. 

When Jerry Parr was about eight years old, he saw a movie called “The Code of The Secret Service”. He pointed to that screen and said, “you know what, when I grow up, I’m going to be a Secret Service agent!” So he grows up, he joins the Secret Service, and he spends nineteen years of his career rising the ranks so he is finally one on one protecting the President of the United States.

March 30, 1981 (forty years ago today). It’s the 70th day in office for the 70 year old President Ronald Reagan. His brand new pinstripe suit doesn’t fit over a bulletproof vest, so he chooses style over safety. He figures he’s only walking twenty feet from the Washington Hilton hotel to the limousine after giving a speech to the AFL-CIO union, and he’s a union guy, so he feels fine. 

Ronald Reagan is the only US President to also have been President of a union – he was President of the Screen Actors Guild in the 1930s and 40s, during the McCarthy era, when Communism was a bad thing. This was before The Blacklist was a cool screenwriting competition, and instead, getting your name on the blacklist meant that you couldn’t work in Hollywood anymore. Nancy Davis showed up on that list, and although there were three actresses going by that name at the time, she still sought out the advice from the President of SAG. His suggestion? “Change your name.” And she does, changing it to Nancy Reagan about three years later. 

We’ve all had movies that have affected our lives.
 
When John Hinckley, Jr. saw the movie “Taxi Driver”, he pointed up to that screen and thought,”hey, I could impress that teenage prostitute played by Jodie Foster by shooting a President.” And he does. Well, he shoots a President, but I don’t think he ever gained the affections of Jodie Foster.  

John Hinkley, Jr. fired six shots in 1.7 seconds. The first hit White House Press Secretary James Brady. The second hit DC police officer Thomas Delahanty. The third bullet went into a window of a building across the street. The fourth bullet hit agent Tim McCarthy in the abdomen as he went broadside in front of the President to protect him. The fifth hit the bulletproof window of the presidential limousine.

The sixth and final shot ricochets between the opening of the limo door, piercing Ronnie under his armpit and landing next to his heart. The limo drives off, heading to The White House. Then Ronnie coughs up blood, causing Jerry Parr to make the decision to go to the hospital. That decision, plus all of the dedicated medical professionals, saves Ronald Reagan’s life. 

While Ronald Reagan was unconscious, with the doctors searching for the bullet near his heart, he claims to have a message from God that his only mission as President is to prevent nuclear war. Think what you will about his administration, but the fact that I can write this email today proves that he succeeded in preventing a nuclear holocaust. 

Pretty sure that little boy named Jerry Parr watching that movie called “The Code of the Secret Service” would be so proud of who he grew up to be.

We’ve all had movies that have affected our lives.





Oh……

….one more thing.

Can you name the actor that starred in the movie “The Code of the Secret Service”?….



………..

It was Ronald Reagan.
We’ve all had movies that have affected our lives. And some of us have made movies that have affected our lives. 

(mic drop).

This is my favorite story about Ronald Reagan. Forty years ago today that happened. Happy Anniversary. 

I call him a paradox of a man. 

Thank you for letting me share that story with you, forty years to the day of it really happening.

11th Minute, 11th Hour, 11th Day, 11th Month

“I will come to a time in my backwards trip when November eleventh, accidentally my birthday, was a sacred day called Armistice Day. All the people of all the nations which had fought in the First World War were silent during the eleventh minute of the eleventh hour of Armistice Day, which was the eleventh day of the eleventh month.

It was during that minute in nineteen hundred and eighteen, that millions upon millions of human beings stopped butchering one another. I have talked to old men who were on battlefields during that minute. They have told me in one way or another that the sudden silence was the Voice of God. So we still have among us some men who can remember when God spoke clearly to mankind.

Armistice Day has become Veterans’ Day. Armistice Day was sacred. Veterans’ Day is not.

So I will throw Veterans’ Day over my shoulder. Armistice Day I will keep. I don’t want to throw away any sacred things.

What else is sacred? Oh, Romeo and Juliet, for instance.

And all music is.”

Kurt Vonnegut, Breakfast of Champions (1973)

I Wish We Had a President

I wish we had a President, right here, right now. Someone that could see the whole picture and reaffirm the people living American lives that everything is going to work out for the best of all involved.

I wish we had a world of Presidents, where each and every individual knows how important each and every individual is to the whole. We are all our own Presidents, and we need to operate on a system that lets each and every individual make their own decisions with knowing in full respect how their actions affect the whole.

I wish we were President, together. A collective of voices and experiences ready to guide the greater good. We all know what we want for ourselves and we all know and accept that we can have those things without causing problems to others. If anything, individual success means success for the whole. We all know how important we tiny little beings are to the entirety of existence.

I wish for the world you want to live in. We can create it together.

Happy Constitution Day

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

-Preamble to the United States Constitution

Control Guns

This goes to the gun manufacturers, the humans making money off of the production of guns. You exist; you must exist if there are still mass shootings. There is only one way you make money and that is through controversy. If our cell phones and in home entertainment devices can monitor its owners by listening or watching 24/7, if our devices know where we are through GPS, if we are required to register and insure cars, we must use the same technology with guns.

 

Guns need GPS technology, retina and thumbprint scanning, and the same technology every iPhone has. Each gun needs to be registered to its owner and scanned for each person handling and firing the gun. This technology is available to cell phones. It has to be necessary in guns. Modern day guns may exist. We need to give them the same tech we give Apple, Amazon, Ikea, etc. We can have our guns, let’s treat them with respect. I hope for the use of guns to be for sport only. Let’s do more skeet shooting, more practice shooting, more paintball shooting. Let’s transfer our war games. Guns for games only. And I’m for hunting but only if the hunted is used at least 80%. Most of the body is used for some sort of productive gain, either in food, chemicals, or material.

Guns do not kill. Scared people kill with any weapon they can find, and guns make it easier. Knives do not kill. Hungry people wanting to slice their food kill, and use their efforts for energy in different areas. Mental health is of most importance. If you own a gun, you will also have a registered therapist. No that doesn’t sound right. I want gun owners to operate on a certain tone scale. A certain happiness level. Happy people use guns for sport, for skeet. Scared people use guns to kill. We don’t need scared people anymore. How do we get people to feel safe? Guns for sport only.

I am grateful that I got gun trained at Walt Disney World. I worked at one of the few attractions that used real firearms as part of their “making the magic real” thing, and I learned how to handle and clean basic .38 caliber handguns. Reuger, Smith/Wesson. Taurus. Both double and single action. I know the difference. I’m grateful that I won’t be scared to handle a gun if I ever have to hold one in an emergency situation. I want all of us to be gun trained, to know how to use it, but to know that we don’t need it. We trust each other. Guns are for sport only.

We need the same technology on guns that we have on cell phones. That is my stance. If we have that control on personal communication, we can have that control on personal protection. Also transparency. We need to know who has guns and where. And that guns know who fired them and when and where and maybe even why. Gun manufacturers need to step up. We can ask gun enthusiasts to at least ask a certain requirement of their favorite manufacturers. They have reasoning.

Gun manufacturers, where are you? Gun owners, will you agree to putting the same technology that is in your cell phones in your guns? And families, are you open to gun training your family for sport?

Let me know what you think! What makes you Happy?

Hugs,

The Happy President

 

Tha Happy President

 

Lincoln/Kennedy

Both Presidents were elected in ’60 with interests in civil rights. Both were shot in the head with a Colt revolver on a Friday before a major holiday. Both of their successors were southern Democrats named Johnson. Both were shot in a Ford – Lincoln in box 7 at Ford’s Theater, Kennedy in a Ford Lincoln, the 7th car in the motorcade. Lincoln’s assassin ran from a theater to a warehouse, Kennedy’s ran from a warehouse to a theater, and both assassins were killed before having a trial.

There’s more. Listen to the song.

 

Why post this as The Happy President? Well, being happy doesn’t mean that nothing disturbing happens. Both Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy were smiling before their deaths, and both made major accomplishments in the uplifting of the human spirit. It is only right to discover the true nature of their ends.
