Discrimination

My father was and is the expert on this matter.  He was the father I idolized as I grew older and realized what I had.  I would never dare ask my father if he ever thought the Chinese were discriminated in mainstream America.  That would be like asking my Catholic friends if the Pope were Catholic.  I ran across a few Catholics in my life but not enough to know better and ask a coworker when I first arrived to work in Belvedere/Tiburon if the Pope were Catholic.  I was looked upon with the most incredible look….astounding.  This blog will not be a book on whether the Chinese have been discriminated upon  throughout the history of the United States of America.  The fact has already been established when I googled the question to Google whether the Chinese in America have ever been discriminated against.  The tricky part about writing this blog on the news is  that I have been instructed by my mentors not to get personal when writing anything.  I do  know robots are getting into everything like production and replacing top chess players and blue collar workers to even writing and there is no way I can envision a writing machine getting personal.  The top writing idol of mine besides Norman Mailer is Ann Frank perhaps the greatest writer of all time in my opinion.  She became a great writer because she kept a little girl's diary and she was so personal with this  diary that it became the  giant of all stories told.  If I had a good strong will I would hide my first and last name from any blog as I did start out as being anonymous but somehow through the adventures of being a hobbyist at writing this blog my name got out.   Google knows everything…well…almost.  My question as I have so often posed for the famous people seen as guest speakers on radio shows will be posed to the readers of this blog.  Will the Chinese ever be seen as equals?  Or will they be forever remained as the yellow peril an invading force of undesirable aliens hated and despised by  the races particularly the white race?   I always thought one of the greatest Presidents of The United States of America was quoted as saying that all men are created  equal and a great war where we lost the most war casualties  of all times was in the great American Civil War?   He did pretty good for himself if you ask me for he  got his picture on a five dollar bill.  How many people I ask you my readers do you know who have their pictures on a coin or a bill?

Cars For Consumers That Fly No Longer Science Fiction

It was on the news and no it just wasn't about  the record setting summer heat of the day that made it for me but it was the little known news report on a local news station that caught my   attention a news story that I've  been quite excited about for some time.  I know  what people are thinking that such an invention is pure science fiction and hardly worth taking a serious look at it and make it an issue.  But my head is bursting with solid information not just wild eyed stories with no facts.  Is it not way past the      prime time to come on out with   the truth?  Anyone can google the web site on their very own computer.  And it is true masses of people are  not running down to their local dealership to place an order for  their flying car….not just yet.  At over two hundred thousand dollars for such a craft I just don't see a sudden rush for these car that fly not  just yet.  We are closer than ever if not right on the ticket where  the market is open to consumers when it is an opportunity or not to make a    buy for an auto that can fly in this case a car that has wings which fold up when not in the air.  I cannot wait for teleportation to come around  but I've no choice it isn't coming any time soon.
