It comes as no shock to me to see the latest bridge fall into a river . I have been doing all kinds of industrial maintenance for a working life time and have been a witness to so many unqualified people calling the shots its no wonder the bridges are all in a state of ready to give way at any time ,and  poorly built new ones now. Also almost all State DOT projects are done on a level of corruption that it would stagger ones mind . I will sight you just one small case I know personally . A *X* friend of myself (MR G Slick). through political dealings became a Big shot for the State PUCO . Now this guy was real slick ,he lined himself up to fire all of the old guard political hacks and replace them all with his own hacks Old Hack friends and Famialy members and inlaws. This is politics as usual."By the way he also jumped political partys to stay in power," And also pulled strings to get friends that he considered worthy- ( YES Men with his type of collage back ground but not as Slick as himself )-other key State jobs ,like Bridge inspectors for DOT ,Gas line inspectors ,Weight and Measures checkers.And etc..Now this is what I know ! Mr. Slick got another friend I know well, a State job as a Bridge inspector .I will call him MR.D . I once talked with Mr. D and ask him how he was inspecting Bridges(or how he was doing his job) .Because I was interested in a plush job with no responsibility what so ever myself (I was working to hard doing real work and if not done right and finished on time, I was !) .And I knew Mr D well enough to know he knew nothing at all about Steel work ,Concrete work, Welding ,Hot rivets. or any kind of construction even nailing two boards together.His only claim to fame was he was working on a Collage paper to hang on the wall that stated that he was smart some how . And his Studies had nothing to do with how things are built (for a PHD in English lit) .Mr D told me how inspections are and where done . He stated "that he spent a little time over coffee making copies of the last inspection report that was done by the guy that was fired by Mr Slick and in his copy he stated that the bridge that he just inspected (NOT!) was just a little worse due to age . "HE NEVER INSPECTED ANYTHING EVER." NEVER SEEN A BRIDGE ON FOOT . "He was actually in classes working on his collage phd .OH !  he also had a another job working for the Citys school system as a HVAC and Boiler  Engineer inspector ,never did that job either .ALSO only passed the Engineer licence test because Mr.Slick got him the answer sheat "Never Seen A Boiler in his life ,Could not find one in the basement if he looked .He did get fired from that job when a Boiler Blew up that he was never their to check out . And he could not be found for days" to tied up with school at the time". He was working 40 to 50 hrs a week for DOT  at least on paper ,40 to 50 hrs for the city schools also on paper,and going to school full time in his spare time on the tax payers backs . This is how things are done with the same old scam  government we have endured for years . Mr Slick retired after 25 years of lining his pockets with tax money and bribes ,with full honers,with a great retirement from the state and federal government (he work a short time as a  Fed) with a fantastic Big Shot health care plan that Joe blow state workers never will see. and Mr D moved on to other things with the FEDS you would not want to know how bad that story is (for the tax payers). . As for my self I could not get a string pulled for bridge inspector and I have worked on them and know what a broken weld looks like ,and could not sleep at night if one fell down and killed some one on my watch .further more inspection is a snap ,EZ job if you want to do it for real .And Mr Slick knew that and thats why he would not pull any strings for me.And in my book Mr Slick and Mr.D and ARE GUILTY OF HIGH TREASON and being a party to Anyone who dies on the highways or freezes to death in the winter when a un inspected gas pipe brakes.because gas is shut off !  . So when I drive over(or under) a bridge I move as fast as I can to get away . I always carry a tool that cuts the seat belt and brakes the window . And on long bridges its in my left hand ready to use . One tip if your car goes down with the Concrete and steel try to stay in the car untill it hits the water and or stops moving exit when water is up to the glass or faster . Brake or roll down window as soon as fall starts and swim with the current if possible . Next Tip start a new government this one is done for All Liars,drifters, cheats , scoundrels and most guilty of out right Treason as well as owned bought and paid for by big CEO,s,Insurance outfits ,The Bar,and the doctors union the AMA .I would rate the front government * not are government ,we don,t have one* All of them(State ,Local Feds) .On a scale of 1 to 10 a big fat 0 (ZERO) Federal law enforcement agencys and their yes men courts ,are the real government ,being above the laws themselves makes it so .If you feel the same Vote .Yes ! If you work for the Gov and or like how they are doing vote NO ..By the way others are selling guides like this on the right , my guide is free unless you want to send a cash donations they will not be refused Thanks ! By the way the Demo-rats and Republre-can'ts are doing nothing to fix any of these problems ,have done nothing ,and will do nothing in the future .We need a Totaly New Government fast ! If you mistakenly think voting will change things just vote for the guy thats not in power ,or don't vote Party lines at all . If say Nader got the Votes to win he woulds be killed before he spent a week in office . Voting is a joke ,its fixed ,and its only  propaganda to make the foolish think they have options ,Red or Blue party whats the difference and their is always a Tax increase on every ballot by magic somehow .Who got hundreds of signatures to put Taxes on every election ? If You want to void a law or change the government by Ballot vote ,You will need Thousands of signatures to get it on and it will be contested by Big Buisness Government and end up in Court not on the Ballot ,and may never be on the ballot  ,Its all just Big Boss Government ,BIG Money they know what is best for you and WE THE PEOPLE have no play in the game . Untill their is a general strike or something of We The People ,We are going down at even higher speeds !
