Ventings of a Mad Man Pt. 2

I realize that my previous comments may upset a good portion of the population and I would like to take this time to set the record straight. 1. I don't care. People are too touchy today. No one is allowed to say their mind without it being taken offense of. 2. For those who hold the believe that the moral majority exists I say the following: War is moral. The death penalty is moral. Cutting the taxes of the rich while letting the poor suffer is moral. GWB is a moral and righteous person. Death to Communism. Death to Socialism. Death to fascism. I think you get my point. 3. If you believed a word I said above: You're dumb. 3. (Because the above didn't count) Liberal Guilt: a term that conservatives give to compassion because they cannot comprehend the feeling themselves. 5. (Because 3 doesn't count and 3 counts twice) Political Correctness: Pussies. 6. & 9. (because those numbers just go together) Distraction: So how many people have lost jobs in this country in the last year? How many people have lost their lives in Iraq during the war? 7. The future (because 7's the lucky number): 2008 -> I don't care who runs, I'm voting for them. 8. Intelligence: Those that have should and those that haven't shouldn't. 10. (Because we already used 9, see 8 if you don't understand) Prediction: Conservatives are going to lose many seats in the upcoming election year. But not enough to make a difference. This will come to a head in 2008 with a virtual tie in Congress heading into election season.

My Last

 My previous post was found as a blank page in draft form this evening.  I found the existence of it to be rather poetic.  So I published it blank as is over a year later.  Seems fitting to be honest.

Reagan, Deregulation, and the Fruit It Now Bears

President Reagan had an idea about how the world should run. He deregulated Big Business. That is, he removed the restrictions put in place that kept companies from cheating. He removed, primarily economic oversight. He said that it was unAmerican that in this capitalist society that such oversight, such restrictions should exist. To him, these concepts flew in the face of that illusive, figmentary idea we like to call freedom. He wanted Big Business to have the freedom to do what it will and believed that in doing so, said companies would check themselves. They would check themselves because it was in their best economic interest to do so. Yet, what he didn't realize is that what was in the best interest of Corporate America could be unknown to Corporate America itself! That Big Business could be akin to a compulsive gambler who as they fall further and further into the hole panic and begin making riskier and riskier bets, thus then subjecting themselves to even more debt ...

36

Navigating life into your mid and eventually, ugh, late 30's is much different than your mid/late 20's.  Artificial time limits that we impose on ourselves for many of life's milestones seem increasingly close and their goals seem increasingly distant as the years tick forward.  It is important however to remember that these milestones are not actually set in stone.  They take work.  Sometimes a lot of work.  And they don't have an actual timeline. In my 20's I believed by 36 I would be married to a good man.  Have a family.  A career.  A home.  And that things would be, in all, pretty decent.  All the hard work of my early 20's would pay off and all of these milestones would be reached.  But of course, we're all a little naive about these things.  We have emotional responses to them which sometimes cloud logic. Three years back, I was in a relationship.  I had a good paying job.  And, as should come as a surprise to ...
