There is a phenomenon that science is over looking. Maybe mathematicians could figure out the formula. Perhaps some one out there can apply for a government grant of hundreds of thousands of dollars to study this. Please let me know if you do.
I'm sure that you have noticed these laws too. I just don't know if they have ever been documented yet they're very similar to Murphy's laws but I don't think there in the exact same category. The first law is. (Law #1) When ever you wait for a bus or train one or two will go in the opposite direction first. Maybe this dosen't happen every time, I'm sure you can get lucky sometimes, but in the most part the rule applies. (Law #2) Here's another one when you break a law, I mean a small one, like improper left turn or something, there is always a cop there to give a ticket but when you need a cop you can never find one. (Law #3) When you are in a hurry or late for an important appointment the elevator slows down or makes a lot more stops than usual. (Law #4) Or when you order some food at a restaurant and are waiting for your food for what seems to be for ever then you light up a cigarette that's when the waitress suddenly brings your order to you. (Law #5) Or how about seeing something laying around for months and when you finally need it now you cant find it anywhere, my keys do that to me all the time. (Law #6) Your waiting for an important phone call and the moment you step out of the room for a moment the phone rings and you miss that call. (Law #7) There are more laws I just can't think of them right now. If you can think of more please post them on the comments bulletin and maybe we can bring this science phenomenon to an explainable textbook conclusion.

Just an observation
Go Ahead, Burn Oil Lots Of It.
by Ronnie Lobello'
Over the years since the seventies after the big oil shortage
Remember the long lines and the sharp rise in prices?
This was the beginning of the search for the fuel-efficient cars.
People were discovering small import cars, such rice burners as Toyota, Datsun, Subaru, and Hondas these cars where suddenly very popular and sent the U.S. Auto makers scrambling for new small car models such as Chevette, Pinto and a few other poorly built cars most of which you hardly see on the streets anymore.
Well as trends go and with the short memory of the average Joe American.
Big gas-guzzlers where back with a vengeance. Four-wheel drive was the ticket pretty soon there where bigger trucks, and cars where becoming trucks.
This is the birth of the SUV. This trend dose not make much sense, with the price of gasoline at almost $3.00 a gallon.
What seems to be fueling this trend? "no pun intended"
One of many reasons is centered around the auto industry. There is a part of the population that can afford it and they want it the auto industry gives incentives, like rebates on trucks and on larger SUV's like Navigator and then they market the heck out of it. Why is this?
Lets look at Washington where G, W.Bush and his oil company family and cronies are working to suppress any attempt to burn less oil. In other words saving fuel is bad for business.
Look at it this way, if you had a business selling something that people needed, and you had no sense of fairness because greed has taken over your mind, you might do anything to prevent a new technology from making your product obsolete. They're brain washing the general public to think automobile. This nothing new its been going on since the 1940s
The oil barrens are running the United States and planet earth into the ground.
In California the Republicans are trying to pass a bill to abolish the sales tax on gasoline but then taxing every one by the miles they drive instead. The reason this is being proposed is because there has been a rise in high mileage cars like hybrids. This has caused a decline in tax revenue that pays for maintains of the highway infrastructure in that state. It seems to me that this would cause a lack of incentive to purchase high mileage cars. Also in California the ford motor company is taking the Ford Think City and Ranger EV out of circulation claiming that they are not safe and now must be recalled.
Now let me ask you. When has Ford ever voluntarily recall cars for being unsafe? Remember the fight they gave when the safety commission declared that the Ford Pinto was unsafe?
BS I say.
This may seem harsh, but I say raise the taxes on the gallon. This would create a need to get even more miles per gallon and put pressure on the manufactures to produce high mileage cars
Eventually we may reach the point of not using any fossil fuels at all. And even slow down the green house affect.
But this would change the balance of powers. "The powers that be" wouldn't want that to happen.
They will lie, cheat and even murder innocent people, to keep their wealth and power. As long as the republican Texas oil gangsters are in the white house conservation doesn't seem to be happening .The other end of the candle is the war in Iraq and the destruction of the environment, such as wild life refuges.
I fear the next four years. We must not sit on our hand lets do some thing like leaving your car at home and ride a bicycle, and/or speaking out like writing to Congress.

Hi I,m Ronnie LoBello of Chicago Ill.
I am an artist and I started a web site about two years ago. I called it http://www.rinkadinkproductions.com/,
I always liked that name for some reason.
It started out as a place where I could show my art work and sell it . How ever I Haven't sold any thing yet off this website, but that's OK because it has Been a beacon' if you will' for people to find me. Several old school friends from as far back as 6th grade have found me. The site has also grown and evolved into a multi artist site. I am Posting art work with no fees for my friends who are also struggling artist like me. One good friend of mine is now making a name for her self around the Chicago area and is posted on other web sites as well.
I am now exepting art work from any artist who wan'ts to post there artwork on Rink A Dink Productions
http://www.rinkadinkproductions.com/
Lately the national news has been looking bad and getting worse.
The Iraqi war is turning into a crime seen and our leaders have been lying about every thing . Ill be talking more on that subject later.
The News Links news
www.rinkadinkproductions.com/newslinks.html
I started a news link page to accumulate news stories that the major news networks seem to be ignoring. It's still very young 'started only recently and still needs time to mature. I will be updating it
as often as I find news stories of interest. This blog has also been established to accompany it ,as a communicating channel to the readers and any one who is interested in commenting on stories
and adding any suggestions.
I don't know exactly where this will lead but I hope to have fun,learn and may be do some good in this troubled world
Please enjoy.... http://www.rinkadinkproductions.com/

Leaving The Crime Scene
By Ronnie LoBello,
I am one of the many Americans who feel we as the United States must pull our troops out of Iraq .
This sounds like an easy thing to do. It's not.
You know the repercussion would be very hard.
Kind of like robbing a bank and then changing your mind in the middle and walking away. It just doesn’t work like that.
The crime has all ready happened. Thousands of Iraq citizens have been killed and millions of people’s lives are in turmoil and chaos and are feeling grief and feeling anger towards Americans ,
President Bush calls it liberation.
So how dose America pull out gracefully?
I don't have an answer for that, and I think about it all the time.
We all have to understand there are great cultural differences in many of the things we do and take for granted, they may seem strange and sometimes immoral to the Iraqi people. Just as some of the Iraqi customs may seem strange and sometimes immoral to many well meaning Bible thumping Americans.
But who are we to judge?
Take a close look at ourselves as a nation,
yes who are we to judge?
The truth is that its not the people to blame we are the victims just as the Iraqi people are even though the war is being fought over there.
We have been lied to. Our good natured well meaning ness has been taken advantage of , We’ve been 'duped, flimflamed, hogwashed, fooled,' and
just plain bull shitted.
Meet the Neocons..........Who's plane was not to remove Sadom Hassan
from power to liberate the people, but rather to take control of all of the wealth of that country. George Bush and his gangster’s have deceived the American people with lies about terrorist ties ,weapons of mass destruction, chemacal warfare the list goes on. They even lie about the election , which is an sacred American heritage but then stepped all over that too. There’s so much lying I cannot cover it in one article .
