66 Years after Hiroshima... which is better off, Hiroshima or Detroit


 66 years later!
What  happened to the radiation that
lasts thousands of years?


HIROSHIMA  1945


We all know that  Hiroshima and  Nagasaki   were destroyed in August 1945
after the explosion of atomic bombs.
However, we know little about the progress made by the people of that land 
during the past 65 years.



HIROSHIMA - 65 YEARS LATER







DETROIT- 65  YEARS AFTER  HIROSHIMA







What has caused more long term destruction-
the  A-bomb
,
or
Government welfare programs created to buy the
votes of those who want someone to take care of them
?

Japan does not have a welfare system.

Work for it or do without.



These are possibly the 5 best sentences you'll ever read and all applicable to this experiment:


1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity.

2. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.

3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.

4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it!

5. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that is the beginning of the end of any nation.

        It’s been one of those days - again!         It’s feeling a lot like ground hog day.         A strange problem, corrupted our production AIX server        and we are restoring the OS from a mksysb (just the AIX naming for the root disk backup). I am hoping that the recovery will restore all the security information, which we were able to save from the old system. What exactly went wrong on it is still to be determined. Right now, it’s all hands on deck to get the system back.         Plans were made to switch to the DR (Disaster Recovery) site but we are not sure that the other systems will be able to continue operating on this side of the great divide, while the core system is sitting in the DR computer room.         First signs that things w...

Road under Construction - Detour Ahead...

It's been longer than I intended since I've updated this post. Today I grabbed my trusty Kindle reader and started in on a book titled " How to Get Ideas " by Jack Foster and Larry Corby . What a surprise when the first chapter is titled " Have Fun ".  Coincidentally with this, I've read the ICAS desk drop (it's an email on personal wellness, diet, work life balance etc.) wherein the TED talk of Caroline McHugh was discussed - it too arrived today. How you need to find your true self and stop being who the world wants you to be. How do they relate? Simple: fun ! If you are currently, where you are, whether it be your work, life, family, friends, whatever, and you are not having fun in each, then you are not being you. You are being something you where never meant to be. It's something I'm struggling with. For thirty years I've been working in computers, processing data, putting up with, well everyone. It all has me wondering is t...
