The Food Is Available. No It Is Not.

Have you ever been really hungry? You know the feeling; the stomach growling accompanied by the sharp pangs of hunger. We either feel it while on a diet, when late or skipping a meal. It is never a pleasant feeling. Fortunately we are able to solve the problem quickly.

Now, imagine the feeling of hunger, with food everywhere. The sight of food, the smell, even the sound when a certain food is cooking. Please, stop for five seconds and, imagine, one of your favorite foods cooking the aroma.

But you cannot have it. As a matter of fact you cannot have any food. While food is everywhere, your straits are so dire. You are doing the best that you can and you are so hungry. If only you could have just one bite.

Hold what you are feeling. Please, hold what you are feeling. You and I both know over one million tons of edible food is wasted each day by institutions due to regulations forced upon them by government. Would you eat a pizza or hamburger that has sat on a countertop for three hours.

Of course and if you were really hungry you might embarrass yourself. How can we get the wasted but edible foods into the mouths of those who could really use it? It must be done.

We all want to play a part in helping others, don't we?

Fighting Fire With Fire

It is a foregone conclusion the terrorist group ISIS is willing to cause fear among their enemies with heinous and despicable acts. Their willingness to behead, rape, and commit torture against people, especially the most innocent, is a well known, documented fact. Obviously this group called ISIS understands the raw power of fear.

In this environment, to confront ISIS, we must be feared. As harsh as this might sound, we must use the very same tactics they use. It is the only way to end their campaign quickly. Maybe the Bureau of Prisons could provide 10 - 15 "Hannibal Lector" types to the military. With special forces involved, several ISIS terrorists could be apprehended. Upon their apprehension, the "Hannibal Lector" types would meet with them; the television cameras and radio microphones turned on. After the meeting between them, we could then show ISIS what happens when groups like ISIS refuses to play by the rules of war.

As a lesser alternative, we could get Hollywood secretly involved to produce 10 - 12 slick and sick videos depicting ISIS terrorists being horribly tortured while presenting it as authentic. Let's get creative and stop them.
