Rocklin’s Socialist (Communist )School Systems Dying!
Rocklin rides with the woe
1/3/2010 by Michael Patrick Murphy a registered "Decline to State" voter.


We had a great run with a nice local public schools with high schools having an incredible quantity of kids going on to college. We have a local Christian University now and Sierra College (JC) has always been popular, too.

But communism is always the greatest Ponzi scheme. Like all Ponzi schemes, they seem to go great in the beginning, a perfect free lunch. But down the road, dark clouds appear and the systems collapse. Folks like me remind their neighbors that “I told you so.” Of course, in 2007, I also warned them about investing in “insecurities” and that the economy was going to tank. Nobody listened then either. No wonder I call folks “sheep, lemmings and ostriches.”

Then I ran for the state assembly to stop the demopublican bleeding. I refused to take campaign money from special interests, businesses and even my political party of which I was registered with at the time. (I’m now registered DTS (Decline to State, which is Independent in CA) I would only take up to $150 in campaign contributions from individuals that lived in District 4. I promised to represent the people that lived there for the first time since the state was founded. I had a great showing and appeared at all the forums where I had a great reception from the 20-40 or so voters that actually showed up to most of them. The winning Republican candidate, Ted Gaines only showed up for one in the primary and none in the actual election. That’s like applying for a job and not showing up for the interview. Ted was confident that constituents would be dumb enough to vote for the “R” anyway and he was right. Voters are lazy and non-voters, well.. ?

Now everything “governmental,” including our schools, are falling apart around us. Nobody has the money. It’s already been squandered by the Board of Education and now students are running around like chickens with their heads cut off trying to get required classes that have either been cancelled or suspended. What is a local Republican parent to do?

Students today are up against a much more technically complicated world, but are less prepared for it than their parents were even though we threw more money their way through education. This does not bode well. Already you are frustrated by defective and dumb corporate American products and have been buying Chinese stuff to save money. I’m 54 and am embarrassed by my own generation’s incompetence. Now, the system is finally running out of money, at least at the State and Local level—only the Feds can (legally?) print money to pay their bills. I say let it fall so we can say we finally learned our own lesson and begin the business of taking responsibility for educating our own kids and having a leaner government. Our generation must first admit that they failed and that they have been lazy and over-entertained. Are we man or woman enough to do that?

What I’m Asking “Joe Public” to do NOW

1. Cut off the Federal Government and make it illegal for them to print and borrow money. It should only manage the court system and the defense of the country.
2. Cut off the State Government from borrowing more money. It must learn to be responsible and live within its means.
3. Prioritize your personal budget around health and learning, not big TV’s and SUV’s. Choose the best value for your kids. If you can, and if you want to, help your neighbors in these areas through personal charity (It’s tax deductible).
4. Get rid of the communist system fully funded by Republicans and Democrats. There is no baby in the bath water. Just end it now. You’ll be surprised at what goodness can rise from the ashes! Neighbors might get to know and start helping each other. How cool is that?

If we do these things today, there will be hope for our great grand children. Your life will be toast, but you deserve that. It wasn’t morally right for you to borrow (i.e. steal) from your great grand kids in the first place. Your going to go without and I’m okay with that. It beats your going to jail for all the theft you’re responsible for. Oh, and by the way, quit taking your so-called senior discounts. Your generation doesnt’ deserve them. Your income’s not fixed anyway. It’s going down and it’s your own fault. You trusted the government, the Mutual Funds and 401K’s and IRAs, all Ponzi schemes. Did you not know that government lies? See “31 lawmakers OK fines over undisclosed gifts.” OR “Chiang Criticizes Counties over in-home care fraud.” These items were in today’s news. Imagine the list if I added all the government crime, fraud, negligence and bribery for the year. Ah, but you trust government?

If you don’t take care of business now, bubbles will be bigger, the debt will grow and your grand kids may be living under a bridge. The greatest poverty level is among the under 25 age group, not the senior citizens. Though progress and ingenuity can go along way, I don’t think it will keep you all out of the poor house. Remember, if you’re really already upside down, there’s always bankruptcy. Then you can start out “clean and fresh” more or less. You must focus on “The Man in the Mirror” and your own family. These will be desperate times ahead. Don’t believe me? Don’t worry, you won’t be alone.
