This is a mindboggling concept for me, on every level I can think of. The problem here is that people want to bastardize the concepts of self-preservation and a need for actual real security with some sinister plot to deprive those who would do us harm of their “rights”? I do realize there is some merit to “rights” here, but they should in NO WAY , trump the protection of our citizenry &helli...
This was still in my to-do list and was where I intended this series to go (never finished it) ... but never got to. I do not have any stunning solutions, just my simplistic view that if you STOP stepping on my foot, I would not feel obligated to kick you in the shin (and vice versa) ... and maybe civil discourse could result. I see now I was wrong … peace cannot be one-sided and you religious folk never offered me any peace at all. I have to assume it is of no import to you whatsoeve...
Obviously this was a bad Idea. Probably won’t be the last … but it has been educational, in a bad way. This series had nothing to do with religion at all, go figure. And since I am writing this, I don’t feel inclined to repeatedly tell you this is my opinion so just take it as a given . Since I do not have a Religious preference (and very specifically yours ), it is impossibl...
When I write an article, I normally try to follow the theme (usually just the title) not always easy, but I try . I do not particularly care if you like my choice of words or the topics I choose, but you owe all of us here the courtesy of asking for clarification instead of lambasting me because you have decided what I was thinking. How in the world could you even guess my thoughts when you cannot understand what I am writing? I am an Atheist (as I have stated) and as such, I am always fai...
I will say that I understand children need to be protected and nurtured and brainwashed (for lack of a better term), but what is dumped into their heads from birth is all they have to work with. They do not have the cognitive skills or the reasoning ability to question things and wouldn’t comprehend it if they could. Nor are they able to refuse or opt-out, so in their world the gospel, so to speak is whatever they have witnessed or been told . Just because the parents believe something to...
From the beginning … The saying that “all people are created equal” could not be further from the truth (Thanks Jim). The only thing equal at birth is a complete lack of knowledge . Then the DNA does its work and like fingerprints, there is never another equal human being. If your parents are religious (Islam included), then they start brainwashing indoctrinating their children in THEIR dictated views, and for children resistance is futile. If one teaches their children t...
Cock fight in California results in the death of a Californian resident, one Jose Luis Ochoa. Apparently after a confrontation, the ‘war-bird’ stabbed him in the leg and he went … Tango Uniform. Seems PETA is more interested in high publicity scams than actual animal concerns. Let’s see, Vick went to prison (Leavenworth) for what, a year and a half or so. Did you know that Cock Fighting in California is just a misdemeanor? It is a felony to organize events but is one of ...
How big is a Trillion of … anything? "1" followed by 12 zeros (1,000,000,000,000) or for the more astute, 10 12 . Here are some amusements concerning one trillion of something’s ... To gain perspective: 10 12 Seconds: =~16.7 billion minutes = ~277.8 million hours = ~11.6 million days = ~31.7 thousand years. 10 12 Dollars: If spent at $1/second = $60/minute = $3,600/hour = $86,400/day =~ $31.6 million /Year … for ~31.7 thousand years. 10 12 Dollar bills (6 in....
If there is any truth (doubtfully) about this cost cutting brouhaha bandwagon everyone is supposed to be on, then a very simple start would be NOT to increase the Debt Ceiling and actually force these megalomaniacs to cut SOMETHING! If we authorize more money, it will be spent and we will be fed more hogwash about the dire necessity to prevent us (them) from bankruptcy or other such gobbledygook; in other words … business as usual. Look around this site and be amazed at our own stu...
Local Talk Radio this morning (WOKV 106.5 FM) had a great story about another starving and misunderstood burglar practicing Obama’s State policy of spreading the wealth around. Upon entering the premises (a trailer), said miscreant was interrupted absconding the personal effects of the owner of a Pit Bull who took exception to the claim. Seemingly after a short communication, the idiot decided the DOG was right after all and made a hasty exit throu...
We only have 2 political parties in America which limits our choices, don’t you think? Republican (conservative) and Democrat (liberal) are the only options. I would need a whole article on those that think they are in the middle. We all have to work within this restraint as best we can. For the life of me though, I cannot think of any bastion in the Democrat Party at all, that I could work with. I do not like their destructive political practices...
Well it is closing on election time and this is going to be one grand time indeed. Cries of ‘racism’, ‘It’s Bushes Fault’ and ‘It’s For the Children’ will start coming out of the woodwork. They already have in fact. But what seems to be the norm and worse around election time is that too much high octane camouflage is being spewed by all involved and the real problems and their root causes are all but for...
I have been harangued for being a Republican Party hack on almost every article I have written, for what purpose I know not. As I see it, there is a right side, a left side and the middle. Don’t you have to pick one? But I place all three groups on the left side of the scale at present in the degrees one would expect. I did not abandon the Republican Party; they abandoned me when they decided to use the Democrat Party pla...
How can you blame a Progressive Liberal for acting well, like Progressive Liberals? I finally figured it out though, Liberals I mean. That is no simple task because you cannot use actual facts in this endeavor. The idea came to me when I was trying to talk to a child about global warming. When I was done, I was asked what we were going to do to save the polar bears we were killing. Then I remembered a conversation I had with my Mother ...
I am going to do a series of articles based on … you guessed it … stuck on stupid and why we seem to be unable (unwilling?) to break the habit so to speak. The first article will be on health care (for all) system and the absolute impossible stupidity we are endeavoring to bequest to our children for their continued sufferance. ...
