I don’t eat an apple everyday, but I do eat many apples. Each time I do I think about the biggest apple of them all. No not Apple, the technology giant. Although I am a champion of that brand. I think about New York City. Today I am in the Big Apple and just like every other time I have had the pleasure to visit, I am excited about being here. For the next two days a colleague of mine and I will be facilitating brand development sessions at Manhattan College as part of a national education brand project to connect education organizations, Pre-K through higher education. We look forward to the chance to engage senior administrators, faculty, staff, students, parents, alumni and other constituencies in the process. I never get tired of working with education brands who get it, and I never get tired of being in the Big Apple. Two days of being a brand champion!

National firm contracted to give us a more defined image so we are not God’s best kept secret.” ROFL! If as I’ve read that ONLY 100 “universities” will survive, then we have to hope and pray that “our” MC is “agile”.

I had him for two looong semesters in my sophomore year of EE program. [JR: Yes. Semesters with Zia were like water-board-ing without the board or the water.] RE: JEMAIL: Stebbins, Donald M. (MC1967) thinks we’re better with “big government” RE: seriously not recognize “regulatory capture”? OSH “regulates” safety; While I agree with Jasper Stebbins about the need and benefits of a larger government than you support – I am in agreement with you that there should be a new business construction replacing the limited liability corporation. It is just wrong to assign the qualities and rights of a living person to a corporate entity. What are your suggestions for its replacement? [JR: Unfortunately an even larger Gooferment will not satisfy the need or provide the promised benefits. It never ever does. "War on Poverty" yields more poverty. The "Big Dig" runs on and on and over and over budget. NASA crowds out private space travel. The FED is supposed to eliminate boom 'n' bust cycles, preserve value, and induce full employment; the value of the dollar is eroded 97%, cycles galore deeper 'n' more frequent, and unemployment galore. Sorry, but Gooferment IS the problem.] [JR: Why replace the "corporation" with anything? A corporation is like a hand puppet to disguise the Gooferment's fist. Let's just have people in business. Government should be the referee to prevent violence by force or fraud. You're personally responsible for any damage that you cause; so's everyone else. There's no need for limited liability. Insurance companies will price risks. "Shareholders" will be more like Lloyds of London stake holders. How about if we just have people in commerce? Ray Kroc can own McDonalds with partners as opposed to stockholders.] RE: ENDNOTE Yet Another CINO politician As you know, we disagree on the subject of abortion, “ensoulment”, and the beginning of human life.

You'll probably disagree with Stebbins too if he wrote more. I MIGHT be wrong. But, I don't think so. I believe the 619 is the value of projects appropriated for his district by the Democratic leadership after he "sold his soul". It was chump change; so it sailed by "under the radar". Unfortunately, I'm a simple soul -- there is a right 'n' wrong; life begins at conception; killing is always wrong; politicians are morally challenged despicable dishonest worse than used car salesmen human beings; and Jaspers are the Salt of the Earth.] mike toner bee ’72 buffalo, ny [JR: If Jasper Jottings drives you crazy, you should read my opus.

Nov 28, 2010 JEMAIL: Stebbins, Donald M. (MC1967) thinks bigger government neededDear Jasper JohnYou say that blacks were better off before the war on poverty. – again we seem to have been living in different worlds. In northern New Jersey I saw segregation and anti-black discrimination everywhere during the 1950′s. For class activities like swimming trips we had to go to New York State if there were any black students in our class. New Jersey swimming pools were privately owned and denied all blacks entry – whites had to worry about getting too tanned or they would be banned. Many towns (boroughs they were called) were completely segregated and some effectively banned blacks from living within their borders. Only government action at the federal and state levels curtailed these horrific policies. Most blacks in the Southern United States had no freedoms and effectively lived in terrorist KKK run societies. Saul Alinsky’s book “Reveille for Radicals” (1946) quotes an American black woman’s response to the question “What would be suitable punishment for Adolph Hitler after WWII.” Her answer was that Hitler should be forced to live the life of a black man in the United States. It doesn’t seem black people felt they were well off. Lyndon Johnson’s efforts led to a much greater degree of political freedom for black Americans and attempted to improve their economic lives through the “war on poverty”. Unfortunately the Republican party deserted the principles of Abraham Lincoln and implemented a “southern strategy” aimed at fomenting white hatred and undermining the advancement of black people. This strategy unfortunately met with some degree of success and limited the effectiveness of antipoverty efforts. I shudder as their political descendants assume power in Congress in January- God help us. Even with Republican obstructionism the poverty rate fell after the war on poverty began. For example, after Johnson’s declaration of the ” War on Poverty” in 1964 , the Black poverty rate decreased from 41.8 percent in 1966 to 30.3 percent in 1974. However, the numbers went back up until 1995, when the Black poverty rate again began dropping from 29.3 percent in 1995 to a low of 22.5 percent in 2000. Sincerely yours, Donald M Stebbins BS 1961 [JR: <1> I gave you specific facts that the Black Community has been destroyed by the supposed War on Poverty and the "(pseudo) War on (some) Drugs". I didn't say that their lives were a bed of roses. And, that there were not problems. Terrible problems. But, I'd also assert that Gooferment, with its monopoly on the use of force, causes or exacerbates EVERY problem. <2> "Gun Control", aka victim disarmament, was introduced specifically to disarm the masses. Hard for the KKK to lynch anyone that can fight back. The NYS "Sullivan Law" was specifically aimed at the "Saturday Night Specials" in "****** town". <3> LBJ is the hero of the Civil Rights movement, but they forgot that it was the R's that dragged him kicking and screaming to sign it. Old Abe was the worst President ever and his legacy should be abandoned. <4> Poverty can't be "defeated" like an opponent in a football game. Our "poor" aren't. I'm reminded of the TV interview in Africa when they found this starving fellow on line at the US Embassy for a visa who was asked why did he want to come to the USA. Without hesitation, his answer was perceptive: "You have fat poor people." Poverty is an interesting Gooferment measurement. Like unemployment, to quote one of the "judge shows", "Wouldn't believe him if his tongue was notarized.", I don't believe the Gooferment's statistics. If we could get the Gooferment out of the "charity business" and give the money back to the people, then true charity could get in and help those who really need help. <5> I know I'll never convince you that Gooferment is the problem. And, it's the meme that kills us. We'll have to just to agree to disagree agreeably.] # # # # # posted 2010-11-28 21:13 |

Nov 29, 2010 JEMAIL: Mangone, Mark (MC1977) wrestles with the death penaltyHello John,I have some comments about the death penalty. I am philosophically opposed to the death penalty for the catholic reason that all life comes from God and we should not second guess God. However, I find that it may be a necessary evil in some extreme cases. I agree that the death penalty is used way too much. The legal system is often like playing a game, so that the outcome depends more on the skill of the players, rather than the truth. The death penalty is often not justice , but a means of revenge, which is almost as bad as the original crime. I believe that it should be reserved only for serial killers like a Ted Bundy. However, there is a problem with life without parole. Life without parole is cruel and unusual punishment. This is a difference between US and European thought. Original American thought considers permanent loss of freedom as worse than death. Patrick Henry says “Give me liberty or give me death”. The license plates in New Hampshire say “Live Free or Die”. Death is more merciful than life without parole. The one advantage with life imprisonment is that it is reversible if new evidence is found that exonerates the defendant. Moving toward life imprisonment without parole devalues liberty. Just my opinion. Regards, Mark A. Mangone [JR: I kinda like the Devil's Island approach. Put the convict on a dessert island and airdrop some minimum level of supplies in. Society has to protect itself; however even Bundy has a right to life. And, what's more important, the Gooferment has no authority to kill anyone "in cold blood". Just my opinion.] # – # – # Mangone, Mark (MC1977) # # # # # posted 2010-11-29 18:18 |

Dad. Dad. Dad? Can I go? You know me, my gifts, my limits, please? Dad, will you let me help?

In the meantime, I would keep telling people the need was still there, still growing. Oh, opportunity for what? To go to Haiti to serve the church, to serve the people, to pray and encourage in any way that presents itself. Today, via a simple phone call, the opportunity came. A friend had a space on his team to fill because another person’s plans changed.

Nov 30, 2010 JEMAIL: Mangone, Mark (MC1977) thinks little L libertarian good if offeredRE: Little L Libertarian vs. Big Government vs. Corporate GreedI like Little L Libertarian the best. If it was the choice before us, then I would choose it. However, that is not the choice before us. The choice before us is between Big Government and Corporate Greed. Corporate greed has more tendency toward evil than Big government. Health care is an example. The insurance companies were absolved of responsibility, based on the claim that the high cost of litigation was driving up costs. The result is that they have no responsibility and health care costs continue to shoot up. Health care costs can only be controlled by supply and demand, that is by increasing supply. Limiting liability only gives the insurers a free ride, while they price based on the supply / demand curve and pocket the profits saved from not having responsibility. The result forces more regulation to prevent greed from competing with good health care. Big government is not good, but I would rather have government making a health decision, rather than someone whose bonus is dependent on not giving me care. This is not fixable while bribery is considered free speech based on the lack of wisdom of the Supreme Court. The most important political issue is controlling contributions to politicians. As long as bribery is allowed and even protected as free speech, then every decision will be warped and regulations will be needed. A constitutional amendment may be needed to take back our government. No good decision can be counted upon on any issue as long as bribery is permitted. Little L is impossible as long as bribery is permitted. The elimination of protected bribery is now the most important issue of our time, as resolution of all other issue depends upon it. The cause is urgent. The budget cannot be controlled and the US will head toward its own destruction, if legalized bribery cannot be eliminated. I hope that this helps. Regards, Mark Mangone Mangone, Mark (MC1977) [JR: Please don't distinguish between the Gooferment and "Corporations". They are really one and the same. Like fingers on a hand, they give the illusion of a difference. Just like the Democans and the Republicrats. It's all illusion.

The alleged facts in the blog cannot be true so why would you pass them along to your readership? I can assure you that $619,000,000 of taxpayer’s money was not spent by President Obama on Donnelly’s election.

Bill O’Connell ’59 Williamsburg, VA [JR: Maybe the formulation was too obtuse. AFTER the Congressman CHANGED sides, $619M was spent IN HIS DISTRICT that was never on the radar before. This is said to have assured his reelection. So did BHO44 hand the Congressman a check? No. But was it the equivalent? Yes. Like the Cornhusker Kickback and the Louisiana Purchase.

He was 87. A Mass of Christian Burial was celebrated Nov. 22 at St. Patrick’s Church in Bay Ridge. Retired Auxiliary Bishop Joseph M. Sullivan was the main celebrant. Special concelebrants included Msgr. Joseph Nagle and Father Daniel S. Murphy. Monsignor Jamie Gigantiello preached the homily. Born in the Bronx, Deacon Postler attended St. Margaret Mary School, Theodore Roosevelt High School and Manhattan College. He moved to the Brooklyn Diocese and first lived in St. Teresa of Avila parish in Prospect Heights before residing at St. Patrick, where he served as a deacon. A regional vice president for Franklin Savings Bank, he decided to study for the diaconate before there was a program of preparation in the Brooklyn Diocese. He studied in a two-year theological program at St. Joseph’s Seminary in Dunwoodie. He was ordained as a deacon by Bishop Francis J. Mugavero at St. Patrick’s Church on June 9, 1973. At the time, he was a lector and a member of the home visitation program. He later was responsible for coordinating the Baptismal preparation program at St. Patrick. While he never retired as a deacon, health problems had limited his ministry in recent years. He is survived by five children — Eileen, Mary, Carol, Steven and Charles. He was predeceased by his wife, Mary, and son, Kevin Francis. Burial was at Resurrection Cemetery in Staten Island. *** end quote *** Postler, Charles [MC????

Dec 3, 2010 JEMAIL: McEneney, Mike (MC1953) cites Brother James Wallace MC VP for missionDear John,The 12/2/10 Edition of Catholic New York has the following article: Manhattan College Names Brother As Vice President for Mission Brother James Wallace, F.S.C., has been named vice president for mission for Manhattan College in the Bronx. He will be in charge of developing and implementing programs to promote discussion and observance of Manhattan’s Lasallian tradition among students and faculty. Brother James had previously served as assistant vice president for mission. He replaces John Wilcox, who will continue to work with Brother James as director of Lasallian Studies. Brother James brings almost 50 years of experience in education, both in the United States and in Africa, to his new post. He initially came to Manhattan College in 1990 as an assistant professor in the School of Education. He supervised secondary school teachers and interns as well as teaching courses in school administration and supervision. In 1996 he was assigned to Africa, first to Nairobi. Kenya, where he served at a high school. From 2006 until earlier this year, he was headmaster at LaSalle College in Johannesburg, South Africa. During his time in South Africa, Brother also served as provincial of the De La Salle Brothers’ Lwanga District. He entered the Christian Brothers in 1955 and professed final vows in 1962. He holds a bachelor’s degree in American history from the Catholic University of America, a masters in guidance and counseling from Canisius College and a doctorate in teaching and curriculum from Syracuse University.” I have worked with Brother on some Alumni events and I find that he is a great addition to the Administration.

Dec 4, 2010 ENDNOTE: Answering the rhetorical question of Jasper “Key West Lou” [MC1957]Jasper “Key West Lou” [MC1957], on his blog, asked a rhetorical question, which I was happen to reply to. I thought, upon reflection, thought it would make a good ENDNOTE. Despite the length and different format. Hope you find it amusing, but not to infuriating. It’s at the end of the issue so you can skip it easily. It you feel so inclined, I’d love to have your contribution to my never ending quest for content. I think it was amusing that in my MC ekkynumics class, I did hear about the difference between Keynesian and Austrian Economics. See I was listening sometimes.http://www.keywestlou.com/2010/11/yesterday-was-normal-sunday.html My Life in Key West Monday, November 15, 2010 *** begin quote *** Watched Meet the Press and Chris Matthews. I am beginning to wonder if anyone really knows how to solve the debt problem. *** end quote *** May I take a stab at the debt problem? (1) Tie the value of a dollar to some amount of gold. And, reopen the gold window. (2) Across the board spending cut of 20%. (That takes us back to 199x levels.) (Every program; everybody gets a haircut.) (3) Issue 50 year bonds. Indexed to inflation. Required Congress to payoff (call) 2% every year. (4) Zero corporate income tax. (It’s a sham. Only real people — mostly poor — pay those taxes.) (5) Redo Social Security a la Chile (Three tiers — over 60, stays the same; under 40, sorry no SS for you; 40-60, fielder’s choice stay old or go new.) (6) Convert Medicare to a federal high deductible (say 500$) insurance program. (7) Take a 40 year plan to stop the Gooferment from running “education”. (8) Bring the troops home; reform the “Department of Defense” to be defense. (9) End the “(pseudo) War on (some) Drugs”. Pardon all non-violent drug offenders. Did I miss anything? jasper fjohn68 # # # # # |
