So as you can probably tell I have been making some changes to the site lately.
I have been tying some things up on my end of life, and am starting to get some time to put into the site. I will be getting a domain name soon, and some private web hosting, and get a new blog going.
For now I will be using Blogger to keep my posts going, and to keep my pay per post up. But eventually (meaning in a couple of days) I will be setting up my personal website, with my own domain, and my own blog.
I will also be starting up a partner ship with another friend of mine and setting up a blog with several authors, along with a public forum to talk about the articles we post on there.
If you would like to help support either websites, please let my know by sending me a email at jjonesdesign@gmail.com with the subject "TheJonesTheory"
Thank you all, and have a great night.

My essay on cultural imperialism
The following is the Essay I wrote for my College course, Current Issues.
URL to article: http://www.aynrand.org
This article talks a lot about the threat of terrorism, and how the world will not being able to find peace by sticking to the ways we have now. It talks heavily about "cultural imperialism". The voluntarily acceptance in changes in ideas, art, and entertainment produced in civilized countries.
When reading this article is was shocked by the way they worded their meanings. A lot of these things would have to happen for the world to be at peace. But by changing every society to accept one stance is impossible. Everyone in the world has their own ideas and their own stances. What shocked me was when they brought up “voluntary persuasion “. Volunteering for something means that you are not brought over by any other forces of persuasion. Yet the meaning of persuasion is to be convinced by some outstanding force that effects your decision. To me, voluntary persuasion is impossible. Persuasion over powers voluntarism.

4am... So early.
My scheduel for work has been pritty much the same, and im getting into the trend of how things work. I have to be at work by 4:00 am. which Is starting to get alot easyer. The reason I am posting now, is because of this:
I work with a manager somtimes at night when im recoverying, that isn't exactly the smartest person in the world. In recovery you run around each of the isle's and pickup stuff that dosn't belong, and throw it in the cart. Then you run to the baskets up front, and sort eveyrthing out by isles. then once you do that, you take baskets, run around realy fast, and put everything back. The problem comes when my manager says "Hey, I'm not staying past 9:30 (which was when we both got off work). Then after saying this, goes off and grabs another 2 carts full of crap. and brings them back for me to do.
one cart of which was mostly socks. When you are recoverying an isle, and there is stuff in the isle that belongs on THAT isle, then you are supose to pick it up, pleace it back in its spot, then face around it. but when my manager went down the sock isle, instead of putting them back her self, She threw them in a cart for me to handle later.
Neadless to say, we didn't get out of there untill 10:30, and hour after we where schedueled.
