Asiad loves America Jann Scotts Journal
Jan 20th
Today .. Martin Luther King Day .. I met Asiad. He is a 27-year-old Kurd who lives in Boulder. His American name is Adam and Steve. He is trying to pick the best name. He was a civilian translator for American troops but he had to get out of Iraq so Isis wouldn’t murder him. Before Isis there was Saddam Hussein who murdered thousands of Kurds.
Asiad is 1 of 6,000 Iraqis who have immigrated to Colorado legally. He has denounced the Koran and Islam. It was forced upon him…or death. He is leaning more toward a very mild form of Christianity. Just a nice peaceful relationship. Simple. Quiet.
He is happy to be in America. Really happy. He has a job. Is studying music want to be American more than anything . He loves America. Welcome to America and welcome to Boulder , Steve.

Two books a month challenge: Jann Scotts Journal
Jan 17th
Boulder I used read 15 books a week; 6,000 words per minute in 1993 when I interviewed 5 authors a day on talk radio. It got boring. Book industry sucks. Most trade non fiction books are poorly written. But I like what Mark Zuckerburg is doing. Also, Brad Feld just did something like that. So I think I’ll read 2 books a month too and try to interview the authors… always a pain to arrange
..but I’m in

Would you rob a bank ? Jann Scotts Journal
Jan 15th
Would you rob a bank for Health care at the local jail or federal penitentiary??
ARE YOU DYING? I’ll? A boomer? Would you rob a bank in order to be sentenced to a federal facility where they have to take care of you?
Would you rob a bank in order to get health care in a federal penitentiary?? Boomers are 69 and 70. Many are broke
No health care. No way to pay for nursing homes. But the federal government has 100 of first class facilities where they have to take care of you. And it is free. If you commit a big enough crime you can live out your days in a warm facility with 3 meals a day… a yard library exercise room good medical care. Some senior citizens with debilitating health are thinking about just this. ROB A BANK and hope for a 25 year sentence. Would you do it??
