Nepotism, Coroners' Employees, Crime Scene Cleanup
I'm looking at the big picture now, at least I hope that it is the big picture. My computer, the Internet, and crime scene cleanup take a much less demanding place in this big picture. I see that this line of business has reached its limits for me. I need to ease it out of my life, in part, just as computers and the Internet need to ease out of my life. Owning www.biosafe.us and so many other web sites has helped business, though.
Speaking of business, sadly enough, I find that those who deserve zero from this business gain greatly from it. Some might say that I am a "poor sport" for thinking this way.
The stories come in slowly from north, south, east, and west. Small companies vanquished by nepotism in coroners' offices lose out as nepotism slowly replaces free enterprise in the crime scene cleanup business. Civil servants, tax supported employees often seize the better paying death scenes for their relatives and friends, and at the bereaved and insurance company's loss.
There is not much to be done for it because word to the county administrator's goes unheard, or they could care less. Employees, relatives, and friends garner the more lucrative cleaning jobs simply because of their monopoly over information about homicides, suicides, and decompositions from unattended deaths. This is not "small business," it is not "free enterprise," it is nepotism, or a form of quasi-fascism to the sorry losers.
For example, if your father was county sheriff of town X, and you happen to be the son or daughter of the now retired sheriff, you stand to inherit whatever you might wish from this business so many now call "crime scene cleanup." Perhaps your brother-in-law works for the coroner's office as a technician or an investigator. The simple elimination of a few of your competitors' from a call list handed to the bereaved goes a long way. It is so easy to remove competitors when your office is in the coroner's department. This is one of the surest ways to enrich the undeserving who are removed from our competitive economy, the surest way to monopize profits from cleaning death scenes. Skew the opportunities to clean; that's the key.
Think about it. It is not appropriate for nepotism to occur in this environment by any means, but it goes on, and it grows. Can you imagine the conventions, the email lists, and other sources of information that carry information informing coroners' employees. Some moon-light and refer work to friends and relatives for a piece of the action. This is MONOPOLY and without the hazards of going to jail and a sure ticket to passing Go. Sad business it is.
Sure, it's OK for morticians and such to share information, to recommend one business over another for service and kickbacks. But it is another thing for a tax supported entity to become a broker for death's cleanup.
Crime Scene Cleanup.com has been fun for me because of the many calls for help that I received from it over the years; not calls for cleaning so much, but calls for vocational education information. There have been so many youngsters out there excited by the thought that they too were going to make "one-hundred dollars an hour." Little did they know that so many in this business pump it up into the thousands. Few know that the "heavy hitters" were and are somehow related to the coroners' offices throughout the USA by virtue of their family and friends.
I hope that the so-called "schools" for this business will not scalp too many of these youngsters as the years come and go. Granted, I can name two outstanding schools worthy of their fees, one of which I attended in Missouri. There is no nepotism to be found in their curriculum, only information for cleaning bio-hazards.
I dribble here.
Now, isn't all of this nepotism sort of like the "crony capitalism" that we see in Russia and other countries? Then again, isn't it sort of like the nepotism over monopoly occurring everyday in the USA as the top one-percent of our population plan their agenda?
For certain, I need steady work and income, and I need to get away from this computer for my remaining years. I've been here for several decades now. I started with the Commodore, which many young people have never heard. I was cranking out college papers on it with great glee so many years ago, but that seems like just a while ago! I don't regret any of it, but it is time to move back to the real world of stone-and-mortar. I need to make like Commodore and jam from this scene! My gut is testimonial enough to the hazard of this workplace.
I suspect that my cleaning days are coming to a close as I find a way to detach myself from this monitor and keyboard.

Off-duty Wis. deputy sheriff kills 6By ROBERT IMRIE, Associated Press Writer, which I've changed, but for the facts given by Mr. Imrie..
"All I heard it was a jealous boyfriend and he went berserk. He took them all out."
I do not like guns, period. Anyone reading my blogs will testify that I write about by dislike for guns often enough:
Cop's Shots at Snake May Have Killed Boy
- Poor police work
and possi cometatus

Guns Suck!
Given the male component for testosteron, we can expect young men to "go off" at a fairly well paced regularity - - It's in their blood, literally. Throw in some jealousy, over-time police work, and bang! Of course, there are thousands of types of "mental illness" that will become suspect before the truth is known about the above incident. Be sure of this, the gun made it all possible.
There is little that we can do about it. Guns are here to stay. Try to police them out of existence and their presence will grow ten-fold and their value will grow a thousand-fold; Crimes related to "dealing" in guns will grow exponentially as the market for their cash-value grows, should they ever be outlawed.
There is only one time that I would want a gun to exist, and that time will never come, I hope. That is, if my wife were ever attacked by a loony bent on harming her, I would want her to have a gun to protect herself. I would also want her to be well trained to handle it.
That's about all that I have to say on the subject of guns and the unfortunate event that brought me to my mental-health blog writings. It does help to vent in this manner. Too bad the young police officer from the above incident wasn't blogging to vent problems.

They Live deserves a 10They Live deserves a 10 for being a much needed statement and indictment of consumer society.
I could comment on the fist fight and other aspects of this film that help to outweigh its flunky aliens, but the metaphors are perfect for helping young viewers learn about the uses of propaganda as well as metaphors.
"WMDs" should be proof enough for anyone that has yet to connect the dots between reproducing society as each generation becomes more entrenched in the "consume and breed" cycle of propaganda, anyway. So the aliens were "flunky." The metaphors are wonderful!
It is ironic, to say the least, that the propagandists have mystified the growth of global warming and global dimming while feeding WMD lies and propaganda to us so successfully. It should not matter if the writer intended to create a bit of social realism through a Sci Fi film.

Eddie on Science, Technology, Production's FusionScience, technology, and production fused together as the Industrial revolution and capital began growing in a grow-or-die embrace. As a result, inappropriate technologies flourish as an insatiable appetite for growth expands. Inappropriate technologies spread like plagues World-Wide while commercial propaganda replaces vital information to extend inappropriate technologies - - "breed and consume."
This "fusion" of science, technology, and production began in ernest as the Industrial Revolution followed in hot pursuit of the Enlightenment's drive away from the middle-ages, at least in Europe and Britain. At least, in part, it helped to open the gates of critical thinking. It helped to induce scientific ideas to apply inevitable efficiencies. The reproduction of society gave each generation more, not less, means of creating ecologically, inappropriate technologies. The drive for profit, expansion and consolidation of capital, ensured the spread of inappropriate technologies.
Here's one way to understand inappropriate technologies: Firing a canon ball to ring a doorbell is an inappropriate use of technology, not so unlike using nuclear energy to produce electricity. The canon in this example also represents an inappropriate technology, many will argue. "Its destiny is implied by its design."
Be that as it may, the canon's influence ends at the doorbell. However, the technologies of genetic engineering as well as nuclear, for another example, alter life forms. Like the canon, genetic engineering has a destiny in its design; unlike the cannon, genetic engineering's destiny influences human and non-human nature well beyond the perceivable future. Ecological problems grow exponentially because one in five non-indigenous (not native born) species, when introduced into a new habitat, dislodge indigenous (native born) species-populations.
Consequently, future generations may choose to ignore the canon's destiny and deny it a place in their society. But, they cannot choose to ignore genetic engineering's destiny or deny it a place in their society, since our generation embedded altered life-forrms in non-human nature. Ecological collapse now occurs as humanity fails to change its attitude toward nature. The same reasoning applies to other inappropriate technologies that risk life's ecological security, like nuclear energy.

Capsule StoryDoctor Chomsky is the most quoted person alive. He's like the fourth most quoted person ever. I wonder why we don't see Noam Chomsky on commercial news and other media?
Noam Chomsky on Propaganda
"The mass media serve as a system for communicating messages and symbols to the general populace. It is their function to amuse, entertain, and inform, and to inculcate individuals with the values, beliefs and codes of behavior that will integrate them into the institutional structures of the larger society. In a world of concentrated wealth and major conflicts of class interest, to fulfill this role requires systematic propaganda." Noam Chomsky
