Pretty Ugly Promises Pdf ((HOT)) Download

What do I mean? Well, if a politician is in a sense who we make them to be, who we want them to be, then it's clear that we project certain things onto them: Thatcher the milk snatcher, De Gaulle the great...the idea's pretty basic, really - people are who you perceive them to be, and you perceive them to be the things you turn them into. These projections come from one's own deep desires - and in the case of Trump, the deep desire is to not only defeat Clinton or build a wall, it's to kill beauty itself.

Americans, at least a part of them, are sick of beauty. They are sick of Barack Obama's beautiful (black) face, they are sick of his beautiful words, they are sick of beautiful ideas. They want big, meaty ugliness, big meaty white ugliness to beat senseless the delicate bitches and fags and blacks who've turned their country into something they don't recognise. This is what they want - to assert their own ugly feelings onto the rest of America, and by extension, the world. Whatever desperation in their lives, whether of their own making or Life's, is being transformed into a destructive, outward power which looks to erase all forms of beauty and grace and light which aspires to better things for all - think I'm exaggerating? Just check this out.

This is nothing new, of course. Every now and then there's an ugly person who draws onto them the ugly feelings of others. What's new about this is just how out of hand this is getting. No one thought Donald Trump was a feminist, but it was indeed surprising to hear him talk about grabbing women 'by the pussy'. And what's more, when he doesn't pay tax and claims to be of the people (not surprising) - it is surprising to hear people celebrate him nonetheless. After all, who cares about his affairs - he's doing everything people have wanted to do for the past 8 years - as though his big flabby body were a proxy for a voter's very own - get out in front of the world, and rage, fume and stalk about - strip down whatever is beautiful about an imperfect system, and replace it with its own raging, pointless self. Trump probably did grab women by the pussy once - it's just such a shame that so many people want him to grab America by the balls, and replace them with his own.

I was not a pretty child; so far from it that I was sometimes considered extremely ugly; yet I was often singled out from among a dozen children, as a most interesting girl. I was constitutionally a frail infant, with a rather sleepy eye, and an old looking face, when at rest, but the moment mischief entered my mind, every feature danced with glee, and I found it impossible to keep still until that mischief was perpetrated.

Friends beware how you tell a child that it is beautiful, and 'so sweet'. You little know how much of what you say the young mind understands, and how a thoughtless word may corrode in a young innocent heart for years, and even impress its whole after life. Never, as you value my friendship, never say a child is ugly where it can hear of it. For any ugly child, as well as a person of mature years, is well aware of that important fact, but still consoles his or herself with the idea that perhaps their style may suit some body else. No, it is much better to let them think that you admire them in moderation, than to know that you think they are not good looking. Dear reader, let me give you an instance that will explain my meaning:

There is in this community, a deformed boy. His face is as perfect as an angel's; a rose bud mouth, blue eyes, a broad open forehead, and clustering curls of golden hue. Still, to see the form of that child, without looking at his face, you would deem him hideous. And the boy knows it, but his kind mother to whom he always confided his troubles, told him that any one who could see his face, would never call him ugly. Not because his face was so pretty, but because it was the index of his own pure heart; and with goodness in the face, the form was never thought of. The child believed his mother, until one day he entered a room full of company. One of the party, a thoughtless giddy girl, covered her face with her hands and exclaimed "what a horrid looking fright." The boy rushed from the room, and was not found for hours, and then was sitting like any statue, although traces of tears were upon his face. He suffered himself to be taken to the house, but said he did not wish to see his mother, for she had deceived him, and he did not care to be good any more, for every body would hate him any how. The sight of his mother, who was weeping bitterly, softened his heart, and he promised to try and be good. But months, and even years, elapsed before he could be persuaded to show himself to strangers, and even to this day, the most intense hatred rankles in his heart towards this young lady who so thoughtlessly wounded his feelings.

At the age of five, I was formally engaged to some two or three young gentlemen, full grown, but told them that I did not wish my father to know it, as he might not wish me to leave him quite so soon, and to be certain not to tell each other as one might chance to tell somebody else, and it might get to my father's ears. As my health was not good, they took me in the summer to the North, and in the winter to New Orleans. A constant change seemed to be necessary to preserve my life. Of course travelling served to increase my self-confidence. I became as vain as a peacock, not of my beauty, for I knew I was not pretty, but of my cleverness, and made myself as pert as possible to any one who came in my way; no doubt much to the disgust of every sensible person.

But Jackets fans could be forgiven if they walked into Nationwide Arena last night with a tinge of skepticism for the opener against the Anaheim Ducks. They've heard lots of promises through the years.

We must get past the partisan rhetoric, think and execute public employee benefits going forward that are sustainable.

One of my adult children is starting a job next month as a public school teacher. He and his cohort need a different arrangement for their benefits if they work in public service.

Elected officials at all levels, local, state, national, threw too many bones for decades. Not to denigrate the hard working people who have been critical to our country's accomplishments.

But, the current formula needs a reformulation. It will ugly and difficult.

@ Peter Carpenter who wrote, "There is the Warren Buffett quote that when the tide goes out, you find out who has been swimming naked."

Not a pretty picture if you think this is the Palo Alto equivalent of Harry Reid's "17 angry old white men".

There are five main causes of the fiscal challenges facing local and state governments across the country caused by rising benefit costs:

1) Agreements were made about benefit levels and the cost sharing responsiblities of employees that now look unsustainable and out of step with changes in private company benefits

2) Health care costs have continued to rise far above the rate of growth in the economy.

3) Investment returns on state and local pension contributions have declined below levels assumed by pension fund managers.

4) The number of aging and retiring workers is growing as the large baby boom generation is aging.

5) There were years in the early 2000s in which cities and the state did not make pension contributions.

I think it is interesting that the same situation is true for the promised benefits for Social Security and Medicare. As the baby boomers age and more and more people become eligilbe for Social Security and Medicare, the promised benefits are not matched by existing revenue streams.

Social Security and Medicare beneficiaries (current and future) did not cause the rise in the older population, did not cause the rise in health care costs, and did not cause the slow economy that reduced revenue growth. Just as public unions did not cause these parts of the retirement benefits challenge.

Probably we are ALL participants in not enacting solutions sooner--either for local and state governments or for Social Security and Medicare.

While there are differences in the detaisl most state and local governments and most people who talk about reforming Medicare and Social Secuirty agree that agreements for new people coming into these programs should change to reduce future costs.

But what about existing participants either who are now eligible or will become so soon and who have made plans around receiving current benefits.

Posters are quick to change plans for current public union employees regardless of earlier promises and contracts. Do you also favor changing Medicare and Social Security arrangements for people who are now or will be shortly eligible? If so, how would you do that and why is it fair?

One poster above did notice the similarity between public employee benefits and Social Security and Medicare promises. While I don't agree with his solution it is directly responsive to the common challenge of promised benefits not sustainable under current financing procedures.

Are there other posters not so consumed with hatred for city employees, managers and the council who can suggest arrangements that they would apply to themselves as current or future Medicare and Social Security beneficiaries and public employees.

Gotta say. I spent a lot of time writing 2 on-topic posts re: Medicare and SS reform, and how the principles relate to our pension/promises reform. They were there yesterday, and gone today. What happened? On topic, respectful, part of answering the question asked about supporting Medicare/SS reform..why removed? Long, yes, maybe too long and detailed?..but these are not topics for soundbites.

The Post article is a good reminder of a fiscal challenge not yet solved.

I think everyone agrees that the current level of benefits (health and pensions) reflect promises that are hard to keep. The Daily Post cites Joe Nation as referencing three causes---high levels of benefits, years in which cities did not contribute and overly optimistic assumptions on rates of return--at least in light of the recent recession.

I think the debate is over how to move toward sustainability for the future and how the costs should be shared among beneficiaries and the public.

I have argued in this thread that both parties contributed to the unfunded liabilities and, like with Medicare and Social Security, beneficiaries will need to contribute more and new enrollees should expect lower benefit levels. I also think the broader public will need to put something in the pot as our share of a problem we all allowed to be created. 17dc91bb1f
