AMERICA OUTRAGED OVER “OUTSOURCED” NBC (Outsourcing in America)


Bookmark and Share

In the event you haven’t heard or seen by now, NBC has aired a show named OUTSOURCED. It is based on a film by John Jeffcoat. It aired on Thursday, September 23, 2010.  This is a sitcom which depicts an American male being assigned to manage a call center in Mumbai, India (formerly Bombay) where the order processing department has been relocated or rather outsourced. Initially we heard a great deal of ranting & raving from the American population about this show. Comments ranged from the show’s insensitivity to poor timing to television executives being out of touch or not seeming to care. Several weeks later we began hearing from members of the Indian culture as they compared the show to the sitcoms here in America that “use to” depict minority Americans in a negative or condescending light. 

We were fairly amazed at the timing of the show and were unable to determine if it was meant to lift the spirits of Americans and Indians through irony and sarcasm.  Nevertheless there are petitions on FACEBOOK protesting and boycotting the show and all of NBC.  Some loyal viewers of NBC are refusing to stop on that channel ever again even if it means giving up sports and some of their favorite shows and movies. There are a few former variations on this show. “Going for An English”; “Mumbai Calling” and “Goodness Gracious Me”.  They are all foreign based. While “experts” are presenting the question whether or not people SHOULD be outraged about this or whether or not the show can be described as offensive to Americans and-or the Indian culture, real people with and without jobs all over the world have voiced their opinions loud and clear. Some say its a travesty because people have actually received jobs (acting) by making fun of people without jobs during a time when this country and even other countries could conceivably drown in this recession. By drowning, they mean rioting in the streets for a loaf of bread kind of drowning. One gentleman said that until the executives at NBC have been out of work, depleted all their savings and investments and lost everything they own, they can’t begin to identify with the average American. In addition, they said even if NBC could identify or are identifying with the American citizen, they still find the jobless hysterical because people who have money find people without money laughable, entertaining, and think of them as existing for their entertainment. 

We have searched high and low for responses to comments like these from NBC and we were unable to locate any. It is not to suggest they don’t exist, but perhaps they were not listed in a more prominent position in the search engines or on the Internet websites.  Is there money to be made from the static and comments SURROUNDING a show versus the show itself? It would be no different than what reality television stars do or celebrealities like Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian. Their names alone generate an income. They don’t have to worry about whether or not their shows are a hit. They just need to be certain people continue talking about them and people want them to make appearances with them, their products or services. In a world where you can brand just about anything, could that be NBC’s hidden strategy? Release a show about Americans losing jobs in the middle of a recession, make it a comedy and watch it explode in popularity before it even airs…? 

Is the signing of the NAFTA agreement the cause of our “Outsourced” reality here in America?  (North American Free Trade Agreement – January 1, 1994 during the Clinton Administration).

JOBS, UNEMPLOYMENT & TEA PARTY UPSETS OR WINS FOR DEMOCRATS?

JOIN OUR DISCUSSION ~ Comments

What kind of real change can America expect after the mid-term elections? Everyone who is unhappy assumes that all Americans are unhappy with the state of affairs in Washington D.C.. There is a percentage of Americans who believe President Obama is doing a good job given what some describe as an impossible set of obstacles and challenges. No matter which category you fall into there are likely to be changes on many fronts and not all those changes are positive changes for Republicans depending on which state you reside in.

DELAWARE’s Christine O’Donnell won the candidacy for the Republican Senate seat against a republican candidate who was being backed by the GOP. Christine had the support of the Tea Party. Mike Castle, her opponent, was expected to win this primary race as he has been a long time Congressman. Is Christie O. good or bad for America? It depends on your perspective.  She has a history of questionable financial problems including alleged tuition liens, alleged foreclosure of her home (approximately $90,000) and there is a question as to when she received her diploma from college and if the delay was based on incomplete courses or tuition liens. Some might say she is unfit to represent America. Others say these allegations are unfounded. There is a third perspective which claims America needs someone as “real” and down to earth as Christie O, because eight million people are facing the same types of issues. These eight million people effect at least two other people in their lives, which increases the number of adversely effected people to at least twenty four million Americans. This figure doesn’t include children or that sector of America that was living below or near the poverty line prior to the recession. Of course people who are facing foreclosure and financial strife are not going to be willing to judge a candidate like Christie O. harshly. If anything, they will breathe a sigh of relief that someone finally represents them.  The other side of the coin alleges that Christie ran for office just so she could be supported by campaign funds. She ran for senate twice before and lost.  Even if Christie O. is misspending money, is there any political candidate who has revealed how their campaign money was spent? Is this something that should be implemented? What will Christie O. do for jobs, unemployment  and our overall economic status if she wins the November mid-term election for Senator? Mike Castle was a moderate Republican. Given that there are 292,738 Democrats in Delaware versus 182, 796 Republicans, Christie O. will have a tougher battle than Castle against Democrat, Chris Coons. The GOP fears a loss and therefore has less of an opportunity to seal their victory in the Senate since they need ten seats.  How will a party that slung accusations at her now show their support in a way that the public will view it as genuine?  What will she do for jobs, unemployment rates and the economy? We’ve heard more about her views on pornography and sex than any of the issues that are at the forefront of Americans’ minds. 

FLORIDA:There is some turmoil down in Florida too with regard to the Gubernatorial race. Charlie Crist holds the position of Governor after Jeb Bush’s reign for two terms. Crist came in as a Republican.  He is switching to a nonpartisan candidate for the U.S. Senate.

NEW YORK: Carl Paladino upset Rick Lazio in the Republican primaries for the New York Governor’s race (62%).  Paladino was backed by the Tea Party as well. The shock is in the percentage by which he won.

Let us not look back in anger, nor forward in fear, but around in awareness.     James Thurber

WE WILL SPOTLIGHT VARIOUS POLITICAL PARTIES AS THIS IS THE FINAL STAGE TO REGISTER TO VOTE. WE WILL NOT TOUCH ON THEM ALL, BUT WE WILL TRY TO ADDRESS THOSE THAT ARE POPULAR OR ARE GAINING INTEREST. 

Please remain respectful in your commentary as we encourage you to share your knowledge & opinions with us and our readers in this and future blogs. BEST SERVICES neither endorses nor discredits any of the contents of links mentioned herein or hereafter. We urge each viewer to research multiple sources before rendering any decisions with relation to political party blogs or any other subjects we may comment upon.  The order of blogs has no bearing on our various preferences or views.

KNOWLEDGE & WISDOM ARE KEY FACTORS IN ALL DECISIONS. We never suggest jumping onto just any band wagon merely based on popularity or to maintain a status quo throughout the generations. Become as familiar as you can with the overtones and more importantly the UNDERTONES of any group, organization, or club. Investigate, read & learn because you owe it to yourself and the group you are considering joining. 

TEA PARTY: “A community committed to standing together, shoulder to shoulder, to protect our country and the Constitution upon which we were founded!” (http://teapartypatriots.ning.com/). “The name “Tea Party” is a reference to the Boston Tea Party, whose principal aim was to protest taxation without representation.[4][5] Tea Party protests have sought to evoke images, slogans and themes from the American Revolution, such as tri-corner hats and yellow Gadsden “Don’t Tread on Me” flags.[2][6] The letters T-E-A have been used by some protesters to form the backronym “Taxed Enough Already” (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tea_Party_protests)

“The Tea Party protests are a series of protests across the United States beginning in early 2009; see List of Tea Party protests, 2009. The protests are part of a nascent, larger anti-tax political movement called the Tea Party movement.” (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tea_Party_protests)

“ In 2009, the modern Tea Party movement got underway shortly after President Barack Obama took office and he and House Democrats subsequently passed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 without a single Republican vote. The stimulus act became law in February…” http://usconservatives.about.com/od/glossaryterms/a/Tea-Party.htm  

“A new grassroots phenomenon is sweeping the nation — Tax Day Tea Parties. One of the leading sponsoring organizations, the American Family Association (AFA), has announced on its website that AFA TEA (Taxed Enough Already) Party Day rallies on April 15 are now scheduled in 1,837 cities. Meanwhile, the originators of the Tax Day Tea Party concept at taxdayteaparty.com list hundreds of Tea Parties scheduled for April 15…”  http://thenewamerican.com/usnews/election/974                               

                                                       THE ORIGINAL TEA PARTY

“What events led up to the First Continental Congress? 

On March 5, 1770, waterfront workers attacked 9 British soldiers who fired, killing 5 colonists…

The Sugar Act of 1764, first of a series of taxes by Parliament, was placed on sugar, coffee, and wines imported by the colonies…”

The 1765 Stamp Act placed duties on nearly every kind of document, from newspapers to legal papers

In 1767, the Townshend Acts imposed several taxes…

What was the purpose of a Committee of Correspondence? http://www.ushistory.org/carpentershall/history/faq.htm

What events led up to the Boston Tea Party?http://www.ushistory.org/carpentershall/history/faq.htm 

Also in 1773, Parliament granted a monopoly on tea shipments to the East India Company, then nearly bankrupt. The Company, which did business only with Loyalist merchants, undercut other merchants, even smugglers. John Hancock, one of the country’s richest men and most threatened by the new tea policy, helped instigate the Boston Tea Party (December 17) when 150 men, dressed as Mohawk Indians, dumped the tea cargo of three ships into Boston harbor. The East India Company was holding a seven-year surplus of tea from India and could be financially ruined if it was not sold.

Why was a general assembly of the colonies called? http://www.ushistory.org/carpentershall/history/faq.htm

In 1774, as a consequence of the Tea Party, Parliament passed  a series of bills defending the remaining tea tax of the Townshend Acts, closed the port of Boston and nullified the charter of Massachusetts.”… 

 What is the true story of Paul Revere’s ride? http://www.ushistory.org/carpentershall/history/faq.htm 

 On April 18, 1775, 700 British troops crossed the Charles River and marched toward Concord, hoping to cut off the rebellion before it started by capturing guns and powder stored there. Two lights in the steeple of North Church in Boston alerted Paul Revere and Billy Dawes…”

Remember clubs & organizations don’t want to attract unstable or temporary (flip-flop) members anymore than you want to be aligned with a group that fails to represent the majority of your thoughts, interests or beliefs.  No one is perfect and no organization is perfect. If you are seeking perfection, it is unrealistic because you will not find it.  Assure that any group or organization is appealing to your passions, whether it is based in faith, a hobby, a sport, a profession, a political party, etc.

BLOGGING BY BEST SERVICES ONLINE, OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL BLOGS, WILL DEDICATE ITS BLOGS TO THE UPCOMING ELECTIONS ON 11-02-10.  

As we write blogs about unemployment and jobs, since we are in fact recruiters, we realize that many of our readers, clients and candidates have great interest in the political influence over jobs, unemployment and their bank accounts. Employers and candidates have been hit heavily, which is why we are facing eight million lost jobs. These aren’t just lost for a year. This has been going on since 2007 with no real improvement in sight. This is the third year. 

President Bush and/or President Obama may have prevented a sixteen million job loss event. We will never know one way or the other so all we can do is focus on what we do know and that is that the market is moving but for those out of work it is stagnant because is it not moving quickly enough. Every blog and every other source of media is addressing the “changing of the guard” from a democratic rule to a republican rule that will likely take place after the mid-term elections of November 2010. How many of us made it out to the polls over the last several months to cast our primary ballots? We know we walked in and walked out with no lines at prime times for voting as opposed to the massive lines that formed when the presidential race between Senator McCain and Senator Obama was at stake. Everyone had hopes and dreams for something better and something different. We do it at every major election whenever we are facing less than favorable times. We keep hoping that someone, some administration, some magical combination of congressional members and Supreme Court Justices will pleasantly surprise the people of America. When will we learn?  

We didn’t get what we wished for and every one and their mother has the perfect response as to why it didn’t happen. So we look onward to these Mid-Term Elections, because without the hope of something more, we are facing the same limited growth we have been facing since President Bush was in office. We’ve said it countless times before. It is unfair and unjust to blame President Bush or any other president because the way the economy operates and feeds off of countless variables, the failure of the economy could have started during any one of the last five administrations.  We must simply look for solutions and allow the elected politicians who we like or don’t like to accomplish the tasks at hand. This goes for democrats, republicans and everyone in between. If republicans gain the majority, then lets show our support and stay on them through continual phone calls to your state representatives to make certain they know they are accountable to you and me. 

Lets make certain no matter who is in the White House, Senate and House of Representatives that we hold them accountable for working together haromoniously and nothing less is acceptable. WE EXPECT RESULTS. We must remain active at our local, state and federal levels. Regular phone calls have to be made to our representatives or emails and letters need to be sent. Keep it professional and respectful of course, but get your message out there over and over again. Our duties don’t stop at the voting booth, for those of us who take it that far.

Our duties never stop. Every last one of us is on notice that in politics a lot of unfair and unjust things take place. We no longer have the right to pretend we are shocked or surprised. The shock part should be over by now. What will you do to reduce or prevent the lack of productivity, bureaucracy, inner social politics, bad influences, anit-proactive behavior and anti-progressiveness throughout all levels of government? No matter who is elected to office, they all become susceptible to the political traps so we must work on supporting our politicians to rise above and stay above those negative influences. They must be made aware they are accountable to the people. Every media source will continue playing on the vulnerabilities & emotions of America. We fall for it every time. Opinions are fine, but how do you move people from the inside-out to better their circumstances and predicaments? How do we improve our current state now that we have identified our dissatisfaction with the lack of jobs and economic growth?

HAPPY LABOR DAY WEEKEND AMERICA


Bookmark and Share

Carry the battle to them. Don’t let them bring it to you. Put them on the defensive and don’t ever apologize for anything.
Harry S. Truman  

 

 WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS?       JOIN OUR DISCUSSION

Well we are already here. Our first Monday in the month of September. End of summer, start of football season or is it more than that?

 

WHEN WAS THE FIRST LABOR DAY?                                               

1882 on September 5th in New York City organized by Peter J. McGuire (carpenter) as a march/parade from City Hall to Union Square then on to Reservoir Park for a picnic. The event included 10,000 workers and their families.   

WHEN WAS LABOR DAY FORMALLY ESTABLISHED?

                   1894

WHAT MADE IT OFFICIAL?

Labor Day became official based on the events surrounding the PULLMAN STRIKE  of 1894 during Grover Cleveland’s administration (The 22nd and the 24th President of the United States, which makes him the only president to have been elected to office twice but not in back to back presidential terms. He is also noted for being the only Democrat elected to office during the lengthy reign of a Republican majority between 1860 to 1912. Cleveland was a conservative in that he was not an advocate for inflation, subsidies for businesses, farmers or even veterans, pricey tariffs, or imperialism ).

 

WHAT WAS THE PULLMAN STRIKE?

The Pullman Strike was a political battle between the railroads and the labor unions which started in Pullman Illinois.  A company by the name of the Pullman Palace Car Co. suffered a strike of three thousand of its employees because of drastic reductions in wages. You have to understand that rail cars were the most popular mode of travel back then so traffic flow was adversely effected. Anything West of Chicago did not move.  Eugene Debs was the head of the American Railway Union that represented approximately 250,000 workers in 27 states. President Cleveland sent federal troops and marshals to shut down striking because of its ill effects on the nation. From a legal standpoint President Cleveland said it was affecting the U.S. Postal Service’s ability to deliver mail. He was thereby justified in sending troops. 13 union workers were killed and fifty seven were injured. Six thousand members of the union were involved and caused about $350,000.00 worth of damage (nearly nine million today).

 

WHAT IS THE MEANING OF LABOR DAY?

When it was first established nationally, a parade was to take place following a festival to honor, encourage and celebrate the American spirit of trade and labor organizations. Some question the political cleansing attempt on the part of President Cleveland given that it was passed six days after the Pullman strike ended and many of his cabinet members did not believe the president had the right to unleash 12,000 army troops and marshals to the scene.     

 

WHAT IS LABOR SUNDAY?

Labor Sunday is the Sunday before Labor Day. It was established in 1909 to highlight the spiritual and educational elements of Labor Day as it relates to the Bible.

 

WHAT IS THIS OTHER LABOR DAY – MAY 1ST?

This is an international holiday recognized and celebrated by about eighty countries.  It is also known as the International Workers’ Day or May Day. It focuses on labor unions specifically. It marks the 1886 Haymarket Massacre of Chicago on May 4th. It started out as a rally for striking workers who were pushing for an eight hour work day. Someone threw a bomb at police while police were trying to break up the rally. Police retaliated with gunfire. Eight officers were killed. The majority were killed by “friendly fire”.  To this day it is unknown how many civilians were killed.  Eight men were tried. Four were convicted and executed and one man committed suicide in prison. Please take special note that the prosecution was convinced that none of the eight defendants were involved in throwing the bomb.

We so often get caught up in thinking the era we live in is the most volatile, the most corrupt as every generation wishes for the “old days” when matters were simpler, people were kinder, and there was a niceness in the air. Let this be a lesson and a strong reminder to all of us that corruption and suspicion of corruption go back long before any one of us was born. There is much more to many of these stories, but we don’t want to make the blog an entire American history lesson. Illegal searches were conducted and freedom of speech was squashed during this time.

Perhaps we need to look a little more carefully at Labor Day and its true meaning from all perspectives. Some of us recall May Day when we were children, but that is a holiday that has gone by the way side for the most part in this country. 

I HEAR GOOD & BAD THINGS ABOUT UNIONS:

Many people believe unions to be useless today. Many people take for granted the working conditions they have today and are unaware that those limited hours, pay, vacation time, sick time, and other benefits were as a result of labor unions fighting and its members dying for improved working conditions. Nothing is a given in this world unless you understand its history and continue to demand that it remain on the “books”.  Some form of American unions have been around since the start of this country.   

 

WHATS THE BIG DEAL ABOUT CHILD LABOR LAWS?

 Unions were instrumental in establishing child labor laws. Most of us are too young to know of a time when children as young as three years of age were put to work for twelve hour days, no school, and were working in conditions that most adults could not survive in.  The Industrial Revolution sparked the need for even more children working in small, tight, dangerous spaces that adults could not reach because of their size. Children worked in mines, around dangerous machinery, chimneys, prostitution and more. Because of the unbearable hours, malnutrition, no health care, children would sometimes fall asleep on the job. Even though they were working side by side with their parents and siblings, it was not unusual for a shop boss or supervisor to beat the child. The parents could not fight back because it would mean the loss of jobs for the entire family. Essentially it was about two steps higher than slavery minus the racism. This was nearly every company across the board. So it wasn’t as if you could argue unfair treatment, quit and get another job with a sanely operated company.  

To give you an idea of how barbaric our society was back then, and by we I mean every continent on the planet, it was a big milestone when Britain came through as the first nation to pass a law in favor of children. Its laughable now, but then it was a huge relief to many families and children. It fell under the title of FACTORY ACTS in the early 1900′s. Children under the age of 9 were not allowed to work at all. Chidren between the ages of 10 and 17 were limited to a twelve hour work day, which indicates they were working sixteen or more hours per day prior to the law. We still have sweat shops and worse still today. The poorer the country the fewer child labor restrictions there are.

 

WHAT WAS HAPPENING IN THE U.S.A.?

1.7 million children UNDER THE AGE OF 15 were said to be working in 1900 in the U.S.A. in the fields of industry.  By 1910 that number had climbed to 2 million. Labor unions were already up and running, fighting and battling for rights for everyone. The issue was that as with any movement, the extremists are the gutsiest of all, but with that extremists mentality comes a number of harsh negatives. The union leaders in the 1700′s and 1800′s and beyond were known to be violent, unruly, coercive, and intimidating to co-workers and political officials. Many would argue that if they weren’t, nothing would have been accomplished with those in power in America. It was only through fear that politicians were motivated to rein in the questionable employment practices of large company owners and executives. Opposition to unions, even today, allege that unions are socialistic and no longer necessary. In fact many would argue that we have swung too far in over compensating for our history and now we are dealing with ungrateful, selfish, nondedicated workers who have a sense of entitlement and take advantage of the system. WHERE DO YOU STAND ON THIS ISSUE

WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS?       JOIN OUR DISCUSSION 

Always remember humans are charged with keeping one another in check. It doesn’t matter if you are the President of the United States, a CEO of a major corporation, a clerk at a retail store or you are out of work on disability. Honesty and integrity should be at the top of every man and woman’s list because no one is any more important or any less valuable than the other. Every single one of us impacts, shapes and influences our employers, family, friends, children, community, the nation and the world. We are each representatives of this list. We have an obligation to be the best we can be to our employers and to the people who fought and still fight for the luxuries we enjoy today. 

HAPPY LABOR DAY!

IS THERE HOPE EVEN WHEN YOUR WORST FEARS COME TO LIFE?


Bookmark and Share

AFTER THE READ, SHARE SOME WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT OR JUST JOIN IN THE DISCUSSION: WE’D LOVE TO HEAR YOUR THOUGHTS

Every where we turn and every thing we turn on or read (television, radio, newspapers, magazines) spews mayhem, turmoil, confusion, destruction, chaos and failure. It doesn’t matter if we are talking about celebrities or the family down the street. We see real families and real people with real problems that have no easy solutions. 

Programs showing foreclosures, evictions, bankruptcies, and continual visits to the food banks are on the rise. One program followed a gentleman trying to get a job day after day after day after day. He was down to offering his labor at $5.00 an hour and he still couldn’t find work. The cameras only showed up in his life two years AFTER he had been unemployed with no benefits remaining. 

It is disheartening. It is earth shattering to the people who are going through it first hand. 

There is a drastic shift in attitudes too. This is evidenced by the many reality television series and their cold and callus remarks and treatment toward one another. Sometimes even the format or basis of the show is cruel. They are successful because it is appealing to much of society to watch the destruction or train wreck unfold before our eyes whether it is real or staged. It has gotten to the point we don’t view it as abnormal. 

On the upside, a recent top 10 movie rating list included more family oriented movies making the list, which is very unusual. Perhaps people are thirsting for a more positive form of entertainment for their children and themselves.  

Are we equipped to handle the kind of challenges and struggles many of us are facing and some of us will face? How many of us have what it takes deep down inside to withstand losing your home, material possessions, social & economic status? Those who can survive this have an inner strength & courage that surpasses the average individual. 

The people who have to walk miles just for a bucket of water, which may or may not be clean by our standards, appear at times to exhibit far more grace and calm than those of us who have very little to complain about in comparison. This brings to mind the saying which loosely states that the higher you go the harder the impact on the ground when you fall. Did we climb so high as a nation technologically & economically that any disruption in that climb causes us to be knocked off our ladders in an instant? 

How stable are we as a nation if we can be rocked so easily? Just being dropped a level or two economically can take the air out of your lungs and cause your heart to race while the butterflies set in to your stomach. We are effected deeply and in those moments it doesn’t much matter whether or not a starving-person in Ethiopia would love to have our “problems”.  (Ok it matters but not as much as it should). 

Have we become so busy that quality time with our children is a rarity and has to be forced into our schedules some how? By quality time I mean sitting down with no tv, ipod, laptop, or cell phone interruptions. Having a face-to-face discussion about their life that lasts more than a half hour regularly would qualify as quality time. 

How many families eat dinner together at a dining room table with the entire family 90% of the time? How many marriages stood a greater chance if both people shared their dreams, struggles, failures, faith, victories and concerns with one another? 

The solace we find is that we feel everything happens for a reason even the bad and the ugly. Droves of religious scholars and leaders contend that society has gotten so successful & busy. Our first order of business was to place our spiritual health and welfare on the back-burner. No matter your faith, for those members of society who have some type of faith, many live life with God tucked away in our pocket. We call on God only in trouble like a lucky charm when in fact we should be in God’s pocket waiting for Him to call on us & we should always be conversing with God.   

Is it really failure if the loss of your job provided you the opportunity to spend time with loved ones? Some would say yes because they have lost “everything” (material) in the process including a roof over their head. None of us know the end of our life story and for that reason a glimmer of hope must be allowed and encouraged to live in all of us. We can’t grasp the full impact any one life has or had on this planet. We have to begin to ask ourselves the really tough questions. What if the worst case scenario unfolds in my life (the fears that trump all other fears)? Do I still have some peace, some sense that even then it will be ok? We have to get to a point where we answer yes. 

Find your HOPE. It might not be through religion, but we urge you to find it nevertheless.

AMERICA’S PASSION, OBAMA VACATION, U.S.A. ECONOMIC STATUS


Bookmark and Share

There is a lot of buzz about the First Lady, Michelle Obama, taking a vacation to Spain. Everyone has heard every comment that could possibly be made about the matter from good to bad to indifferent. Many argue it was her own money so she can do what she wants. Others say that secret service still cost a pretty penny, not to mention the cost of Air Force One. We also heard arguments that no other First Lady’s travel plans have been scrutinized to this degree & the retort is to continue to do wrong things can’t be justified by past behavior of prior First Ladies. Everyone presents a good argument. What we find so fascinating is the degree of passion that fuels these statements from all sides of the table through the major Internet social networks.

People are angry, defensive &  frustrated. It doesn’t seem to matter if they are for or against President Obama. There is just a lot of anger in the air. We witnessed an entire trail of commentary about this subject and when it was all said and done, it left a massive pocket of emptiness. People shared their opinions & in the end things remained the same. Our favor is with the re-ignition of the economy, building bridges between vast differences, & solving problems.  Everyone agrees our issues MUST be resolved.

It’s become increasingly difficult for people to maintain focus in a proactive & progressive manner when the political, economical & social climates have been so drastically polarized. We believe in being passionate. The difficulty is balancing passion against deconstructive behavior & thought.

One thing all Americans should keep in mind is that we are all full of an equal amount of fire & fury. How we convey that fire & fury is a testament to our maturity, understanding & acceptance of each other.  This country was not built by a group of laid back impassioned people. Instead it was built & established by overly aggressive & passionate risk takers who were successful in their insurmountable attempts at reaching their goals. Admittedly those characteristics worked in their favor during the construction of this current nation. That passion must be  harnessed properly & we should look to them as an example of what we are truly capable of as a nation.  

It doesn’t take but fifteen seconds to become entrenched in a boiling argument with a total stranger over a subject that’s near & dear to our hearts. We are being pushed further apart than we’ve been in a long time. Is there anyone at the controls, at the helm of all of this? Is there a benefit to keeping us so incredibly polarized and literally despising one another based on bipartisanship while our economy fails to receive the nourishment it so desperately needs? 

How can we merge our efforts & dampen our conflicting views to serve a greater cause? What group or organization can we turn to to assure that their personal agenda does not override the greater goal of the members who support it? Can anyone be trusted anymore? How do we take this terrific energy, a ball of pure heart-felt passion from all the varying view points & redirect it so that it is a positive force that cannot be challenged by anyone?

It seems the American people lost trust in the system. Certain sectors of the population feel completely alienated when one group tries to rally people around it. Many are jilted and fearful  of potential underlying motives & subtle personal agendas of various groups based on experience.

Every American pretty much agrees the country can benefit from generating new long term permanent jobs. That’s the easy part. Now how do we create these jobs? What sectors would generate the most jobs with the most diversity in skill level and pay scale? Its confusing. We’ll say it again. At the end of the day, we want the same basic things. Let none of us lose sight of this. We can’t allow division by the media or any other sources. We can’t afford it.  

Don’t we owe the founders our thanks by honoring them for their blood, sweat & tears? We should be honoring everyone who played a part, willingly or unwillingly, in the establishment of this nation. 

How would any of them react to what is taking place today between us? We suspect they may acknowledge that they too had blatant irreconcilable differences, but never once did these differences stand in their way of their common bond of wanting to prosper.

Recently we heard a gentleman’s observation about Christians. Over the years he noticed  in newly formed Christian bonds that many Christians are driven to identify where they differ in their interpretation of various parts of Christianity. He strongly advised a change in people’s approach to one another. Instead the two should be celebrating their likenesses. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out this advice can be applied to any faith, culture, political arena, economic status, etc. It applies to every one.

Find the commonality & revel in that before walking down a path of destruction, because there is plenty of time for that once your bond is strong enough to handle it. Build a solid foundation first. Only your family will accept you for everything you are and are not (and there is no guarantee of this) because of the solid foundation.

Our founders could not have accomplished anything if all of their disagreements led with the interjection of hostility, sarcasm & innuendos.

EARN $250.00 & SEE WHICH HOSPITALS MADE THE HONOR ROLL 2010-2011


Bookmark and Share

You don’t have to be a recruiter to earn money in recruiting through Best Services Online. www.BestServicesOnline.com 

EARN $250.00 FOR REFERRING A CANDIDATE OR CLIENT THROUGH OUR RECRUITING SERVICES.

If you refer a candidate to us and:

  1. we are able to successfully place the candidate in a position
  2. that candidate is successful in maintaining their job position through their probationary period (typically 90 days)
  3. and we receive payment from the client for the placement of that candidate, YOU EARN $250.00

 

If you refer a CLIENT who assigns us a job order or refer an actual JOB ORDER to us and

  1. we fill the job order with one of our candidates
  2. the candidate maintains their position through their probationary period
  3. and we receive payment from the client for the placement, YOU EARN $250.00

YOU CAN EARN $250.00 per CANDIDATE, per CLIENT and/or per JOB ORDER under the guidelines mentioned above.

STIPULATION: Candidates and Clients are not eligible for earning referral money for themselves. This means you cannot refer yourself and expect to receive $250.00 for multiple reasons, one of which is conflict of interest.

Most of us know someone who is either interested in new opportunities in their career or they are unemployed. We are here to assist both categories of individuals.

Most of us know of a company or business that is seeking qualified talent  in terms of employees for an open position. We’d like the opportunity to fulfill their needs and allow you to earn $250.00.
