Years later… the same thoughts

On PBS they have been showing profiles of Presidents.  In 1960 Kennedy talked about getting “America’s edge back”… which sounded a lot like “making America Great Again”.  In 1964 Johnson questioned the temperament of Goldwater… (which sounded oddly familiar).

Presidents lied and misled and concealed….  the only difference between then and now is that back then “hope” was part of the campaign as well.  “The only thing to fear is fear itself…” “Some see things and ask why? I see the things and ask why not”… I misquote.

However I had a sense that in past times there was a belief in the power of good and no matter what presented itself today… tomorrow was another day.

In the net…

They call it the “internet”… but sometimes I feel like a fish caught in a net.  I go to find out information and feel that more information about me is being captured with each search and article I see and read.  And after review my life would be PG.

I double down for “understanding and peace”…

There is so much about the world I do not understand.  Lots of things people do and say is beyond my ability to accept… but with time perhaps understanding and acceptance will come.  We just need to give others more time… not take away a life-time…  there is no chance of change in that.

Bottom feeders… IRS phone scams!

I have spent most of the day contacting the IRS, FTC and Inspector General’s Office reporting on what I believe to be an attempt by someone claiming to be from the IRS to get me to pay money I do not owe.

If you receive a recording claiming “Final IRS notice” and you can get to a real person right away (red flag!!!)… I called various Government services and if it takes over an hour to get to a real person… then you are dealing with an actual government entity.

I also doubt the real IRS will hang-up on you when you ask for the correct spelling/contact number of the person you are talking to….
