While doing anything online, one has to be “troll” literate. This especially true when one is dealing with the emotions of a certain illness and joins online support groups. According to Anti-Troll.org, a troll is someone who “posts a deliberately provocative or abusive messages to a newsgroup or message board, with the intention of causing maximum disruption and argument.” This is a disgusting but all too common occurrence on the internet. Trolling is related to “cyber stalking” which is best described my Anti-Troll.org as below; "Cyber-stalkers meet or target their victims by using search engines, online forums, bulletin and discussion boards, chat rooms, and more recently, through online communities such as MySpace, Facebook, Bebo, Friendster, and Indymedia, a media outlet known for self-publishing, in exacty the same way as Trolls. They may engage in live chat harassment or flaming or they may send electronic viruses and unsolicited e-mails, in the exact same way as Trolls do. Victims of cyber-stalking may not even know that they are being stalked. Cyber-stalkers / Trolls may research individuals to feed their obsessions and curiosity. Conversely, the acts of cyber-stalkers / Trolls may become more intense, such as repeatedly instant messaging their targets." (Anti-Troll.org, 2016) If a friend of mine was suffering from a health condition and was considering joining an online support group, the first warning I woulw give them is information about trolling. Anti-Troll.org appears to go a bit far by demanding that trolling become a federal crime. There is the issue of freedom of speech here, and I know that the freedom of speech probably doesn’t include the abusive nature of trolling, however, I don’t believe that creating a law against the action is necessary. One visitor to Anti-Troll.org pointed out in the comments that ; "Comments: This is ridiculous, if you see something mean on the internet just ignore it for the love of god. This is just overboard, and in my opinion the results of a very successful trolling. Seriously, this is the most laughable cause. Next you'll want pranks made illegal because it's having a laugh at the expense of someone else being minority inconvenienced for a little bit. Or you'll want to stifle folks irl for saying something that hurts your feelings. Grow a backbone and deal with it, it's how the world works." (Why, 2016) While this comment makes a good point and presenting something similar to my opinion for dealing with trolling in the beginning, then the comment suddenly turns rude, arrogant, and egotistical and begins to get troll-like. I am sure that this person would not talk to a complete stranger in this manner in person, because they would risk getting a punch in the mouth. But the internet’s provision of anonymity allow for this kind of behavior. And in a support group where people go to find some sort of emotional treatment and support, one can see how such discourteous comments could cause harm. In the "Talk" section on mumsnet.com, a discussion exist that points out another issue with online support groups, where some individuals in the group may be fake, may be exaggerating their personal issues for attention, and therefore drain the group of support creating an environment “where other people give so much time and emotional energy to [a particular person] while dealing with immense problems of their own, that I just can't help but worry [a particular person] might be a fake” (OnThePrittStick, 2015). Again, we have the problem of the internet offering an extreme sense of anonymity. Many individuals have a huge contrast between their online identity and the in-person identity. Some individuals have several online identities, and the existence of these abusive, unempathetic online behaviors offer problems for those who need help dealing with the emotions surrounding an illness. I choose to end this discussion with the comedy of Trevor Moore and his “The Ballad of Billy John.” Moore’s comedy comes in the form of satirical songs, and the content of the “The Ballad of Billy John” addresses the issues of trolls. Billy John was a simple man, worked in the fields most his life He provided for his wife and kids and left his dreams on the side One day when the kids left home billy picked up his guitar It had been awhile but his fingers still knew how to reach the heart Played a song about life and love, his hopes and regrets Then with a little problem from the Mrs. he put it on the internet (Moore, 2015) Then the trolling begins. Then they scrolled to the comment section and this is what they saw Eat a bag of s[***] c[***]face Go blow your f[****]ing dad This s[***] just raped my ears never heard nothin so bad I hope you f[***]ing die And I hope you get aids You should just kill yourself You're a fag Lol gay (Moore, 2015) This is the horrible reality of the internet, and it is best to see it from obviously distorted and deprived view of the pitiful troll, and do not give them the satisfaction of letting them troll you by engaging in their senseless banter of online hate speak. Billy John and his wife did nothing wrong, and they weren't dumb They just hadnt paid attention to what we'd all become (Moore, 2015) References Anti-Troll.org (2016) .

Many of you many not know what this is....no it is not an opinionated meme....it has a few more words to read than those....sorry....but we used to call this news...its a newspaper. it's only downfall is that it required thought. I don't know how true this lead story is, but I can usually tell by reading it.....imagine that....il let you know what I find out.

Based on your readings, what do you think are the major health-care challenges facing the United States? What’s the first step in using health communication to address those challenges? This prompt appears to be a very complicated question, because I began to research it seems that every celebrity physician has a different list of big issues with health care in American. In addition, Anti-Obama Care bloggers and lobbyist have their own lists as well. A simpler Google search return several articles with top 10s, 5s and strangely 9s. Is the real answer to this question able to be discussed in this forum, or is it the subject of an incredible misinformation campaign that appears to make the topic so complicated it makes one’s head spin. CNN’s Chief Medical Correspondent, Dr. Sanjay Gupta, provides a list of nine, of which five seem to cross the various legitimate opinions that are out there. The first I mentioned is lack of availability of healthy foods (Gupta, 2015), which the text book (Parker, & Thorson, 2009) presents similarly as an overabundance of unhealthy food choices. These things are obviously connected to obesity, another common thread amongst the debate on this issue. Then there is of course the smoking of tobacco problems that lead to several chronic illnesses as well. So far this list is including a set of bad choices that we make, however, there are factors that do indeed make it so that we are less able to make better choices. The text, (Parker, & Thorson, 2009), states that poverty has a lot to do with these choices as well, as persons living in poverty are more likely to engage in risky behaviors, have stress related illness, and often live in what Gupta describes as “Food deserts,” those being areas being “urban neighborhoods and rural towns with limited access to fresh, affordable, healthy food (Gupta, 2015). Similarly, Gupta mentions the fact that we are overworked in America, when compared to other countries, working longer hours and with less vacation time. Both the text and Gupta agree about increasing health care expense and cost, miscommunication resulting in health care errors, and an increasing number of persons reaching the age of 65 by 2030. While these problems seem to be the same old song and dance, I found the contention within the text (Parker, & Thorson, 2009), that health care practitioners are slow to apply new research and science in their health care provisions, which goes to the overworked population, and as Gupta suggest that there is a doctor shortage as well (Gupta, 2015). I am sure that I have left some big issues out, but I have tried desperately to condense this discussion for economy; however, there is hope. Because as I mentioned earlier, a lot of our health concerns are related to choices. In America, we need to seek out ways to make better choices. While that is a difficult thing, because often people cannot afford to eat healthy or may not have a grocery store nearby as with the food desert concept, and when one needs a fast bight, processed TV dinners and fast food restaurants are a lot easier as we are all working more hours and don’t have a lot of time to spare. The text points out that hope revolves around the concept of “patient centered health care,” which has is foundation in the new media the various developing technologies that provide a means for the patients to take more control over their care as they have more information available to them to make better choices. So, communications may be a soft science in comparison to health care; information can be power. We, as health care consumers just need to find a means to harness, else these problems mentioned will only fester and get worse over time. References Gupta, Sanjay (2015).

After watching this, I no longer have any desire to spend anytime in Europe. And, ironically, Donald Trump makes an excellent point within the movie....

On Sep 4, 2015, at 12:57 AM, John Rozean Waco-Related Re verb of Hunter S. Thompson's “Midnight on The Coast Highway” Months after Twin Peaks1, I never heard again from John Carroll2, I still had the legacy of the big machine—four hundred pounds of chrome and deep red noise to take out on the back roads of central Texas, 317, 1123, 2268....Moody, Holland, Salado. My first crash had wrecked the bike completely and it took several months to rebuild. After that, I decided to ride it differently: I would stop pushing my luck on curves, always wear a helmet, and try to keep within range of the nearest speed limit.....my insurance policy had been canceled and my driver's license was hanging by a thread.3 [...]So it was always at night, like a werewolf, that I would take the thing out for an honest run through the darkened curves.[...] thinking to only run a few long curves to clear my head, […] but then I would be out there with the sound of my engine in my ears[...] There was no helmet on those nights, no speed limit, no sound of Sgt. Patrick Swanton's “honking”4 lies,5 and there was CERTAINLY no cooling it down on the curves. It was like the one unlucky drink that shoves a wavering alcoholic off the wagon. […] thirty-five, forty-five...not worried about who might be pulling out...Not many of those, a bike, when the speed is right, can get around most things – but not all.[...] Bent forward, far back on the seat, and a rigid grip on the handlebars as the bikes starts jumping and wavering in the wind. Tail-lights far up ahead coming closer, faster, and suddenly – zaaapppp-- going past and leaning down for a curve[...] There are not any good runs down 95, north of Bartlet to Temple, too much construction, traffic lights, and cops trying to make their quota on construction zone fines....the choice of back roads gets even backer, and darker....but you keep pushing it....Instant loss of control? A crashing cartwheeling slide and maybe one of those two inch notices in the paper the next day: “Texas Man Dies After Motorcycle Hits Deer” 6.” [...] Screw it all the way over, reach your thumb over, feeling so as to raise the headlight beam, the needle leans down on a hundred, and wind burned eyeballs strain to see down the center line, trying to provide a margin for the reflexes. But with the throttle screwed on there is only the best margin, and no room at all for mistakes. It has to be done right...and that's when the music starts, when you stretch your luck so far that fear becomes exhilaration and vibrates along your arms.[...] The Edge... . There is no honest way to explain it because the only people who really know where it is are the ones who have gone over. The others – the living-- are those who pushed their control as far as they felt they could handle it, and then pulled back, or slowed down. The Waco District Attorney has gone “all-in” on this one, despite the logical conclusion that 170 bikers can not murder 9.....the question is, are we going to push it, feel the exhilaration of freedom, or will we simply back off...and allow a few more miles of road to be paved, between here and an outright police state, where “THEY” are in charge of whether you decide to “push-it” or not. They will decide how you dress, what sort of conveyance you drive (that being two or four wheels, street, cruiser, duel, Japenese, European, etc...), where you may eat lunch, and with whom you may eat lunch. When you eat lunch in the same “general vicinity” of some sort of crime, you will be charges, indicted, and possibly convicted, depending on how much “honking” a police PR does. I must say; it is time to push it and take back our freedoms before our local police seize it away from us. Footnotes. 19 “bikers' were shot and killed at a “Twin Peaks” restaurant in Waco, Texas, May 19, 2015 2John Rozean was interview by this Waco kwtx reporter on 5 June 2015. This is not an accusation of oversight, just simply a reference to how the news cycle is finite, and will fade, despite the importance of the issue as it relates to Constitutional freedoms that WILL ultimately dwindle away to fascist rule if this continues. 3The following “re verb” of Hunter S. Thomson's work is positively analogous to the author's life, yet, in the spirit of “GONZO” journalism; the truth lies within the murkiness surrounding the absolutes. 4An Aging Rebel article described Sgt. Swanton's voice in this way. 5The author of the “re verb” , a former Army public affairs specialist, has published several articles in central Texas newspapers (Austin Statesmen, Williams County Sun, Temple Daily Telegram, and the Killeen Daily Herald) critisizing Swanton's unprofessional tactics. Ultimately, one can see by a Google search, that these irresponsible measures have led to speculation and mistrust of the Waco P.D. For some time the author, as an insult to Swanton's poor PR skills, the author continuously sent out release misspelling Swanton's name – a very bad, “boo boo” in military public affairs, which has a goal of releasing truthful, accurate information. 6http://www.kwtx.com/home/headlines/Texas-Man-Dies-After-Motorcycle-Hits-Deer-324124331.html <10462584_1032545030110989_2496239144815132569_n.jpg>

d This is an excerpt from my current paper due out by Sunday night.... [Excerpt begins page 34] Stubbs is a lawyer who is governed by a code of ethics. While the new media has stood a lot of these things on end, the point is here that there is a written doctrine that is published and that can be referred to in an event of questionable media behavior. However, Swanton, and the Waco PD have no such doctrine. I know this because I specifically requested it, and the reply was that they have none. I’ll go more into that in the conclusion that follows, as I re-sync my contention that police departments should adhere to high media relations standards comparable the standards of our military organizations (xxx002).. But for now, more from Swanton on this Twin Peaks is at fault issue. An unknown reporter queries the mysterious claim of blaming the restaurant during a press conference the night of the shooting. REPORTER: Twin Peaks management has put out a statement saying they are shocked by the shooting. Given your warning to them, shouldn’t they have anticipated something like this? SWANTON: Was that local or national? I can tell you that we were in conversations with them earlier in the week and I don’t know what those conversations were and I am not sure what national knew. (xxx22, ) Local reporter John Carroll was the first KWX News 10 reporter to bring of the issue of the questionable accusation by separating local and national Twin Peaks, and ever so hinted at an actual inquiry, but seemed to hold back on any kind of follow up question. CARROLL: We just got word from the local Twin Peaks man, Jake Patel, the operating partner, “we are horrified by the criminal and violent acts that occurred outside of the Waco restaurant today. We share in the community’s trauma and our priority is to provide a safe and enjoyable environment.” And then says, “our management team has worked closely and consider the police our partners in doing so.” That doesn’t really, quite line up with the fact that they have not been cooperative over the last few weeks.” SWANTON: I’ll tell you that that statement is an absolute fabrication. That is not true. Anyone else? (xxx22, ) The last thing that I want to do here is do another finger pointing routine, but notice how Swanton makes a clear distinction between national Twin Peaks management and local, however the Austin connection, which Stubbs cites, is never made throughout all the various reporting on this blame issue, which eventually ends with the national office revoking the local franchise license. The mythology is proving to be a true mythology, as the gray areas seemed to be even grayer than they appear at first glance. And it is difficult to prove, but I noted that Carroll failed to ask a follow up, indicative that questioning the police officer further was out of bounds in the local hearts and minds – a mythology that the PD and the internal and external mechanisms support. After all, does he mean the whole statement is fabrication… even the condolences? Seems that such a talented PI professional like Swanton would have been more clear, and a talented reporter would have asked for more clarity. And why is Swanton so red faced and emotion in this response. Is there something more personal here? [Excerpt ends page 35] -30-
