Published my first book
Free Download (updated)
I didn't see myself making any money off my first book so it's entirely free to promote my blog! It was quick and easy. I think I'll advertise it on Goodreads.com
Classmates deleting my comments
I was prompted to write this post, after people recently thanked me for publishing their blog comments. Meghan Hatalla deleted decent comments on her blog relating to anything. They assumed that as their comments disagreed with me, they would be deleted. I am hearing this more and more often, hence the reason I want to bring this out into the open. Well, Meghan, it's too late. I'm sorry, but I'm already well known. Everybody heard of me.
Here’s the problem: It seems some well-known blogs refuse to publish comments, if they take an opposing view to the points made in the blog post. Unless a comment is neutral, complimentary or has an argument that can be easily shot down in flames, it’s banned from being published.
Removing critical blog comments
What amazed me, was that in each case these people say they had left comments that were not offensive, but were removed simply because they made a solid argument that was opposed to the view, expressed by the blogger. In my opinion, it shows a total lack of respect (and self-confidence) on the part of the blogger, if they refuse to allow anyone to disagree with them! I believe the blogger also loses a useful learning opportunity, as banning such comments eliminates the opportunity to scrutinize their point more thoroughly.Note: Here’s how Mark Zuckerberg used criticism, to improve Facebook.
One of the benefits of a blog is that it is designed for communication, rather than broadcasting. Communication needs to be 2 way or multi-way, which means giving people the right to question you, as well as compliment you or agree. Blog comments allow that to happen, if we let them.
However, I warmly welcome you to contribute to anything I write here, if you have something you want to share. That includes expressing a different point of view to mine (so long as we agree my point is always right, of course!
Yes, your blog is your own property and you can do whatever you want to with it. However, when you decide to ban people from expressing a different point of view from your own, the word soon gets around. Bloggers don’t need a reputation like that!

Taxing job creators to death.
There is a job deficit in this country. Jobs are in other countries. President Obama is slashing jobs. That's the real reason. We're increasing in GDP, but Democratic Party is slashing jobs by taxing all the businesses who create jobs and moving to Obamacare. It's just not right. Some call this degenerated workers state.
Leon Trotsky always emphasized that the degenerated workers' state was not a new form of society, but a transitional phase between capitalism and socialism (and closer to capitalism) that would inevitably collapse into one form or the other. He argued however that whether this downfall led to the restoration of workers' democracy or to capitalist restoration would depend on whether the movement to overthrow the dictatorship of the bureaucracy was led by the organized working class. They're taxing capitalist businesses so they don't hire.
Canada and UK simply have simply more jobs per million then Americans do; whereby, the personal GDP is higher.

Tested Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 7.0 beta
Only came with solitaire
Stable enough OS, didn't crash with installation. RHEL 7.0 lags a lot / slower then RHEL 6.5. I don't know why they couldn't have KDE 4.11 in 7.0 They should use Gnome 3.12, but they use Gnome 3.8.4 in 7.0. The RHEL 7.0 comes backwards compatible with RHEL 6.5. Doesn't use Debian packager. Very low kernel 3.10-54.

Wounded Warriors in IT....
Holy crap. I thought a Doctorate of Science is a higher doctorate, and Bachelor of Degree is too advanced. Must be the non-brain damaged ones going into it. I thought Wounded Warriors were all medical coders doing ICD-10-CM codes. Those ICD-10-CM coder jobs never run out. Doesn’t make sense.
