GOP wants to do away with the EPA. Argh. Huh.

Newty, Mitty, Ricky, Ricky2, Ronny, Michelle-y (Thank the heavens she has dropped out for now) and all the other GOP candidates say the EPA has destroyed business through heavy environmental regulation. Well, there is some truth to it. The way industry did business for 100 years was to plunder natural resources, dump the waste, plunder some more and move on. They made the country what it was as a producer. And as a sewer in many areas.  It was easy.  Environmental regulations mean they can’t follow that old formula anymore.

So what the GOP is saying is that US industry can’t figure out, won’t figure out, is unable to figure out any other way to make things that is different from the way they did it for 100 years. Pretty sad. Of course, no one will call them on it. Sadder.

I am continually amazed by how completely antiquated and dull the GOP is.  I don’t mean to say the DEMS are much better.   Most all members of the Congress are out to serve themselves in the end…and the best way to do that is to do things the old fashioned way.  No one seems to think of anything new.  Have we given up?

A New Year, A New Start, Yes?

2012 is the beginning of my 10th year as a professional actor.  I have performed in over 40 plays, a couple of short films, television and web commercials, a few times as background on films.  I have worked consistently every year, and worked hard.

However, 2012…Wow!  Doldrums, I guess, after a good long run.   Every actor gets them.

Well a guy has to make a living.  Out there looking for full time work, sending my headshot out too.  Maybe something new will happen.  Maybe I new way to look at my career?  Maybe there is a new direction I can go in.

For those friends who didn’t know…I committed Facebook suicide last December 1, 2010.  I appear to be on Google+ but basically the whole ‘social network’ thing just isn’t for me anymore.  I had fun and I miss the articles that are shared there, but don’t miss the enormous waste of time.

Keep in touch and Happy New Year!
