Last time I was in the MVD I went up to the manager and asked them if they are now hiring staff who came from and worked at the DMV in Ca. He asked me "why?". I told him that coming to the MVD used to be a very positive, pleasant, helpful, courteous and productive experience, and that now I feel like I am being treated as a subhuman and have to prove I'm not a criminal and car thief every time I walk through the door just like it was in Ca. It's getting to where people are starting to feel like they are going to have to get down on their knees kiss *** and beg to get any business done and it didn't use to be like this, and shouldn't be like this, this difference was one of the reasons I moved to Az in the first place.

"It is becoming a negative hostile unproductive environment that is just going to create animosity, if you are hiring these people then STOP IT, Az doesn't need that crap, or at least make it very clear that they are not in Ca anymore and that's not how we treat citizens here!"
Would be nice if they'd do that... but the world just seems to be going straight down the toilet and not many seem to care to do anything about it. Maybe that has to do with my faith... It saddens me to see what is going on this world today. There is still good, but it seems like it's really starting to become overshadowed by this evilness.

Thankfully my three adult children with children of their own recognize the issues and indoctrination that is happening, and are trying to work towards bettering their own generation as much as they can. Now that they have thier own kids going to school they see and are proactive against what is coming from the educators who came from Ca. This is where it starts...

We certainly can not give up the fight. I'm just baffled as to how people can think that, that kind of behaviour and treating others like that is even remotely acceptable.

No scruples, no conscience, no integrity. So many times I hear "I'm blue and I'm not like that, We are not all the same!". Maybe not, but you all sure have the hypocrisy to support these wrongs tooth and nail without guilt though. Aiding and abetting is just as severe a crime as the original crime.

Agreed.... I think part of it is that unfortunately we're now really living in an age in this world where people are all about the self fulfilling/ self-serving mentality. That people are taking over and completely cutting the big guy out of the picture as if they feel that they don't either need Him, or twist the Word to fit their own self absorbed needs/wants/goals. Really sad.

Yep... Morality is about dead. So is tomorrow the beginning of the new job for you? Everything look good to go? I have my fingers crossed that everything goes smooth as it should.

This morning I see Denver just followed Frisco's 3rd world example and decriminalized crapping in the streets. Yep... Making the U.S. a better place by practicing progressive ideology.

Man, I just realized I probably shouldn't help get you fired up considering your new situation. Sorry about that.

What... Denver did what?... man.. If I'd only have known when I was driving through. LOL. What are we going back to the plague ridden days across the pond? Remember when disease was out of control because of doing things just like that and then it went right into the Thames? WTH? unreal.

And what are you getting me "fired up" for exactly? Not the blue/red thing. lol

I got to thinking a red pep rally might not be any help considering... Lol

It's incredible... Even further before that, the Minoan culture had and used running water public toilets to keep sanitation and diseases in check. They just went backwards 5,000 years in rational intellectual capacity.

The view from my bedroom window after work today. The Moon was really bright considering it was still daylight out. I know the 31st is that special Moon thingamabob so maybe that is part of why it looks so bright.

damn... and I had party favors all picked out already.... lmao... Seriously though... I'm not young and green... and I'm not too old to care about what's important in the big picture...... I do know how to use tact. I won't back down on my views because I keep myself informed. (that's usually enough to scare them away). But I'm also not stupid enough to walk up and swing a baseball bat at a beehive either.

Yeah there were a number of ancient civilizations around the world that had developed systems for things like that, that most people not familiar with human history, think are much more recent inventions.

Thanks. I missed a better shot by just a few minutes as Superstition Mountain looked really red as I was driving home.

Blue moon's are cool... but my favorite... has to be "la luna del cacciatore". Which translates into English as "Hunter's Moon". Super cool to see in person.
