To even construct the infrastructure necessary will cost billions of dollars which is something The Post Office, or The Federal Government can do by either putting us into further debt with China, or we start paying $1.00 a stamp.  Some points to consider.

1.  The infrastructure would not only include construction of windmills, but also implementing charging stations for mail carriers, as there is no way possible in major cities that a carrier vehicle could go an entire day on one charge without plugging in.  They would have to resort to plugging in their vehicle at every stop they make to deliver the mail door to door, and that may not be enough which takes me to point number 2.

2.  These electric cars in cold weather would be lucky to go 20 miles.  Consumer Reports mentioned last year, that The Chevy Volt (The Model of Electric car engineering for The Government) only got a distance of 23 to 28 miles in cold weather.  In the exception of Florida, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and Southern California, the rest of the country would get this same millage.  Even if you went with some higher end electric vehicle that could get 150 miles per charge at best, the math does not add up as according The Post Office’s own numbers, mail carriers and their truck drivers put 1.2 billion miles onto the road each year with a total fleet of 213,881 vehicles.

Bottom line is the costs to implement electric vehicles for the entire fleet would average $55,000.00 per vehicle which would put a price tag of $11,763,455,000.00 on it.  When you factor in the implementation of Windmills at 2.6 million each and would need roughly 3,000 windmills implemented that would total $7,800,000,000.00.  If you also factor in the labor to engage in this implementation and continued upkeep assuming it is union labor will be roughly 40 billion.  There is no way Senator Carper’s plan is even plausible and I did not even factor in future weather conditions for this wind power to be produced.

The free market has not gone this route for a reason and this is an example in rough numbers as to why.  Consumers could not afford the extra expense that would be added to the price tag of your favorite store items.  The free market also knows that we have a vast supply of oil, natural gas, and coal here at home for the next 200 years at least.  Since the 60′s we have heard that our way of life is destroying the planet.  First we were destroying the ozone layer with hair spray and air conditioners, then when that was proven false, their latest is now that CO2 the gas we exhale, and the gas plant life thrives on is the problem.  Rest assured, we could burn coal, use natural gas, and drill for oil, and our children, grandchildren, and beyond would continue to thrive.

David Argall has been accusing Waste Management and Processors of illegally helping Brian Rich’s campaign against him, along with other slanderous statements against The Rich Family of businesses including accusing them of wanting to kill us all with coal waste, destroying the planet, and other typical talking points.  David Argall claims to be a Conservative Republican, but statements like that do not sound like a Conservative, but sound more like Obama’s war on coal and The American Dream.

Just think about the economics side of what Argall is doing to Waste Management and Processors.  With all the money this company has to invest to protect itself from Argall’s smears, where could this company have invested this money?  They could have invested in hiring, equipment upgrades, and many more economically beneficial acts.  We hear so much from Argall about Brian’s wealth, but what he forgets is that wealth in the private sector is not absolute, as Argall’s wealth is guaranteed until the day he dies with a taxpayer funded pension that will be roughly $7,500.00 a month tax free.

Bottom Line is that David Argall has proven that he is willing to kill jobs and economic growth in his district if it means he can maintain his millionaire lifestyle at the expense of the taxpayers for another 4 years.  This is why he does not deserve another term in office and must be defeated.

It is completely evident that the thug on probation should have been taken in by the slothful probation officers the moment he was caught, and his parents notified, but instead these slothful probation officers put an ankle monitor on this thug hoping he will be a good boy.  What made you think for one second that this thug would obey orders when he was cutting school in the first place?  Worse yet this thug leaves his house, and The Police and Probation Officers ignore the alarm.

DA John T. Adams wants to sit on his high horse, and bitch and moan about how horrible The Castle Doctrine is, because this 65 year old man can’t be charged for shooting the pieces of garbage that tried to rob him.  DA Adams you are just as much of a piece of garbage as those 3 thugs.  It is not only this man’s second amendment right to bear arms, but The Castle Doctrine is there to enable citizens to do the jobs that you and your ilk simply refuse to do.

Bottom Line DA Adams, and Probation is that your stench of corruption is showing.  This man had to pull the trigger simply because you slothful bastards did not do your job and you better get used to it, because The Castle Doctrine is here to stay, and you slothful bastards no longer have the ability to protect these thugs anymore.

Stay tuned!

It just comes to show you what a political whore Christian Leinbach is, and these pictures are a prime example of it.

Enjoy

Yesterday on The Reading Eagle website, Mary Young wrote an article titled “Berks trying to get others radio active”.  The article mentions how Christian Leinbach plans to bully other counties who won’t purchase a specific emergency radio system that he claims is the only way to be compliant with newer FCC guidelines that are to take effect in 2013 in regards to narrowing bandwidth to prevent signals from overflowing into other counties. There were several comments that appeared on this article mentioning how Berks County Commissioner Christian Leinbach is a liar and that the reason he is attempting to force a new 60 million dollar system on Berks taxpayers and on other counties to purchase the same system is to reward kickbacks to his friends at Berks DES, and that it was part of a deal that got Commissioner Leinbach recently elected as Vice President of The County Commissioners Association of Pennsylvania.

The man who brought up the technical information about this was Dave Hardy who mentioned that all that needed to be done to be complaint was simply rebanding the radios on the existing VHF system and mentioned Schuylkill County just recently did this for 1 million dollars and that Christian Leinbach and Mark Scott were pushing for a 60 million dollar system.  I had a discussion with Mr. Hardy about this on that topic and he provided links and information to back up his claims and provided hard evidence that Christian Leinbach is trying sell a scam on the taxpayers of Berks County and making threats to force other counties to comply to his wishes using his position as Vice President of The County Commissioners Association of Pennsylvania simply to cater to his friends at Berks DES.

By the end of the day Saturday all of the comments disappeared from that article.  The author of The Reading Eagle article Mary Young has not responded, however after calls to other Reading Eagle staff, I was informed that an unnamed Berks GOP official, and Christian Leinbach’s campaign manager Andrew Kemmerer made threats of a lawsuit if the comments were not taken down.  Sadly all comments on the eagle article were lost, and if Mr. Hardy sees this article I would like for him to repost what he mentioned, however I do have my comments from that article which I will post.  The following were posts I made on this article.  The fonts and caps may look different as they were copied and pasted from my facebook.

“If The County is lending money, I think people have the right to know who this money is being given to. Christian Leinbach is a two faced scumbag in my opinion and should not be trusted with anything, especially since this County is going out of their way to protect a drunk driver constantly violating her probation simply because her daddy is a football coach with Schuylkill Valley High School and is well connected with Northern Berks Officials. If Christian Leinbach and Mark Scott were doing their jobs they would stop covering up for The Probation Office and nail this girl now rather than waiting until November as they want to. http://www.ripoffreport.com/government-services/berks-county-probati/berks-county-probation-office-96910.htm”

“Dave Hardy,

Everywhere I have read, and out of the commissioner’s mouths they have said that they were mandated to replace the VHF system. As I’m not an expert in that field like most people they will just take them at their word, but after reading your link it just comes to show that The County Commissioners once again needed a reason to waste money. I just wonder which friends at DES that Christian Leinbach is trying to please? I wonder if it had anything to do with his recent election to Vice President to The County Commissioners Association of Pennsylvania?

As that saying goes if it ain’t broke don’t fix it. Thanks Dave for posting that link as It was very educational.”

“Dave,

You mentioned it was software driven. Based on your description/costs it sounds like they are running on a Windows Server model. I find this interesting, because if that is the case than a lot of those extra costs would be based on Microsoft Licensing which can be very expensive. When I Google this, it is all vague without specifics. I’ve done IT Services for Point of Sale, ERP, Manufacturing, Distribution, and insurance industries, but I never got into the radio side as most people are happy with the analog systems, and most of the upgrades are not cost effective.

One thing I can say from professional experience, you do not want to put all of your eggs into once basket by locking yourself into one specific brand.”

“Dave you are correct. Berks County’s IT infrastructure is also a mess. When I got a tour of their server room about a year and a half ago involving a misc. project, it was one of the most unprofessional, disorganized server rooms I have ever seen to the point of it being a fire hazard. They were still running Windows 2000 servers, old Windows 95 PCs rigged to be servers, they had CAT5e cable all over the place to the point of worrying about tripping over things, and they wonder why their backup server has not worked since 2003. Another thing to share is that Commissioner Leinbach and Commissioner Scott don’t use the existing IT environment for that reason. They actually setup their own internal servers in their offices, because they even called the server room in the services center “an unreliable piece of crap”. Why does Christian Leinbach hate me again? What gets me is that we hear from people like Leinbach, Scott, Bernhardt, or Federal Government, etc. telling the private sector that they need to upgrade this and that, but they are the last ones to do it. Typical do as I say, not as I do.

That’s why they tried to inflate the IT damage in the services center when the pipes busted, because they have no money to invest into their infrastructure and God knows what it looks like now. Christian Leinbach and Mark Scott if that infrastructure is good enough for the entire building, than it should be enough for you guys.

It is things like this, and things like Dave Hardy mentioned that put high taxes onto Berks County, and sadly these lessons are always taught the hard way.”

“If that is how that system works the audio problems maybe related to heavy server load for whatever the software is loaded on, bandwidth issues, existing infrastructure, or all of the above. It sounds like it runs along the lines similar to that of a VOIP system. In my opinion based on The County’s infrastructure, you would be better off being on analog. This is not about trying to sell software, it is about the lives of people in an emergency. Something you don’t want to play games with. Did they even bother doing dry runs or testing before implementing such a system? I think I know the answer to that one.”

“Wow Dave simply Wow. What a mess. The only other county you did not mention was Leheigh, however I’m sure they are on something similar. Interoperability without a doubt should be addressed with The State. I remember discussing this issue with a police officer I know and he mentioned to me a few years back they relied on Nextel Phones at the time to communicate to a different county dispatcher as their response times were much faster than having a Berks Dispatcher attempting to communicate with another county dispatcher.

The only way that issue would be addressed is through actual mandate for a uniform system and in that case that money would come out of state funds rather than county. The way things are in The General (dis)Assembly, I would not hold my breath.”

In a bad economy Christian Leinbach should be ashamed of himself for wasting millions of dollars in taxpayer money, and it is indeed a shame that The Reading Eagle will help him do that.

What I find amazing is how so many people worship drunk drivers because of their social status and popularity in the bar scene.  Because of Ryan Dunn’s popularity, so many people want to give him a pass for DUI simply because he was on TV, or popular in the bar scene.

As a victim of a drunk driver myself, I can relate to other DUI victims as to the anger and rage that they go through because the police, district attorney, long time friends, and even the media are so eager to take the side of the drunk driver simply to enhance their social status.  In all honesty this is an anger and a rage that never goes away.  It is a scar left as a result of being denied equal justice under the law.  People like me battle post concussion migraines possibly for the rest of our lives, others are confined in wheelchairs, others suffer brain damage, and that’s just getting started.  We end up dependent on medication, some are denied the pleasure of performing their professions that they are passionate about, some lose their homes because they are unable to make a living to pay the mortgage, and simply denied the enjoyment of life.  Yet people get upset when these victims speak out simply because they don’t like to hear the truth or they are worried about what their friends or bar scene buddies may think of them.

I know the feeling all too well.  I had close friends that I knew since childhood, some of them were even in my wedding that don’t want to hang out with me anymore, because I could taint their social status in the bar scene if they are seen around me, as the girl that rear ended me is a popular icon at these bars.  It gets even worse because of the support of this girl, I was shot at once, booed when I would appear in public, have trash thrown at me and my kids, people spitting at me, harassing phone calls, death threats, and police telling my insurance company not to pay my bills because they accused me of faking my injuries despite the medical evidence.  In my case the girl’s soon to be step mother is the director for Berks County Pre-Trial services, and The DA and the police basically gave this girl a pass and then support everything her supporters did to me.

As children, we all grow up believing in justice, and believing in heros.  As we get older this concept becomes a natural part of our mindset.  As children we would go to school every morning put our right hand on our hearts, and pledge allignance to a country under God promising liberty and justice for all.  We naturally believe that these individuals that wanted to serve their community by running for public office, becoming a police officer, a fireman, or a doctor really wants to do good.  That is until you need to access the justice that you were always promised would be there when you were a young child only to find out that politics and popularity in bar scenes come first before your justice.

My car accident and the experience I went though did change me both with my personality in part resulting from my injuries, and my views on society.  I no longer have respect for police officers, as I know they are simply self serving slime balls that put the interests of the politician’s reelection before the laws they are hired to enforce.

Yet why are we angry again?
