Looks can be very decieving. For years I looked at these objects in the picture to the right and thought they were some sort of pine cones...they look like a cone attached to the pine trees...One day Phil Burket stopped by my place and noticed them and said boy you got bag worms bad on this tree...I admitted I did not recognize I had a problem and thought they were some sort of pine cones...He said no the worms are pretty darn smart and they disguise themselves that way, but when your not watching a worm crawls out the top of these and proceeds to eat your tree...You better get after these if you like this tree...Well now I know and I pick these things off each year from my trees and the numbers are getting less but not much...But just last week I found a couple golden globe jupiters or what ever they are along my side walk about 6 feet tall that when pulling the outer foliage apart I found was just lousy with these terrorist bagworms....I got the chain saw and I cut them off at ground level..I put them on my burn pile and they burned very well...there had to be over a thousand of them, to many to pick off one at a time but not too many to fuel a really good cleansing fire.....I may have found the source of my problems, hope so...
It is amazing how nature can be that intelligent that a moth or whatever constructs this really tough home from material that makes it so decieving that it could fool an average bear like me...I admit it they did it, but I have also admitted in the past to slow learnership now and then...but man when I finally get it these guys are now on my terror level of red....
But now comes this Healthcare that seems to be on peoples minds so awful much these days. I just don't know, I admit it I don't know for sure, but I do feel we need something, but we don't need a blank check approach. I think we have to be very careful here as some of these adgenda's this administration has seem to me to be moving us dangerously close to a socialistic government....I think this wanting to be able to give everyone a lot of things just may be a Trojan Horse at our door or simpler terms, maybe a lot of "bagworms"....
This President scares me to death. He is so smooth in his delivery of all of these "ideas for change", but I have a pretty good sense of how salesmanship works, I was one for a period of time, and I just can read from it all that this guy really does not have answers just ideas and they are grandure idea's that very liberal factions in this nations absolutely love....But they do flirt with socialism and that does scare me, it is not what this nation was about at birth but it could be what puts us into a downward spiral that could then someday surprise us all when the worm comes out of the bag and eats our tree....
I hope Congress will take it slow and maybe do something very very basic as far as health insureance for those who are not able to afford it...But man I hope they keep it very basic as compared to making it a "right" to "equal" healthcare is just wrong and something this nation can not afford. I am sorry but you take the reward out of scratching and earning a living here in this nation and we will be in big and I mean big trouble....Our liberal factions have been flirting with this kind of stuff a long time, chipping away at peoples needs, and providing things that frankly put ambitions to work and be successful on hold somewhat. The Banking fiasco we just cleaned up with way to much tax money was caused by these liberal factions providing demands to provide way to much lending to people who just did not qualify and in way to large amounts...no way were they going to be able to return what was lent to them....and the stock fiasco was tied to the same liberal manueving that then sold these bad loans to people for investments...they were investements alright, investments in con games and dead end ideas of very liberal people...
I hope we can somehow turn this around and get back to basic government for the common good of all but allow us to help ourselves....It is a huge problem and it is good that people are finally taking notice of it, maybe we have turned a corner I hope so....but lots of work lies ahead for sure....Some how last night I just felt like I was being sold a car that may have been flood damaged, things just don't add up with the savings words and government being able to wave the magic wan and somehow we all live happily ever after....we need to proceed with much caution....
Some how it seems to me a more pressing thing is getting our people to work not healthcare....
And somehow getting people to instill patriotism in their daily lives and buying habits....How will we ever get people to work when everything we buy is imported from countries that do work and make the stuff? It is for this slow learner, seemingly a pretty simple thing...we make our socks, our cars, our food, our clothing, our hardwood flooring and floor tile, our lumber, all right here, that will put people to work..and if need be to be competitive we burn coal and firewood and we burn ethanol in our cars, we tell the liberals to go fly thier kites elsewhere..maybe its too late, I hope not....but real problems are being put aside for fluff of raising our society to a level that none of us can afford....

Lots to think about, Jack. I tend to believe that many liberal factions know for sure that they are feeding us a line of "bagworms." But they count on most people being to ignorant to pay attention. And THAT is what concerns me!
