One Nation's Hypocrisy

So, today's May 1st, the day of the big immigration rally. Hopefully, it works out well. Although, I can't see how. Our politicians today live by a double standard. It is as follows: Make it appear like we are helping others when in fact we ourselves are reaping the profits. Help free other people from the oppression of dictators and promote democracy, but don't let them come here in search of it. When will this country learn to accept others? When will we decide to end the bigotry? This isn't a matter of national security. It's a matter of security for the rich sons of bitches that control this nation. They fear losing power and those who could take it from them. They are content to leave this nation believing that they have been privileged, that we're better off, that we have something to lose if we rock the boat. Well they're right, we do have something to lose. THEM. So show your support for our immigrant workers, for without them we haven't a chance...

Clarification Rant

I've decided from now on to write however I feel like writing. I am not going to restrict myself to essay format as I have tried to in the past. That said I would like to point something out. I don't care what people think. I don't care what people do. (So long as it doesn't hurt others or themselves.) I don't need your opinion; I have plenty of my own. I am right and anyone who says otherwise is wrong. Nothing you will say will change my mind on anything. Now, let me say that you may believe anything you want, but I'm going to believe what I want, and point out flaws in your logic incessantly until you stop giving it. I am not going to budge, and I have all the answers. It's simple. Everyone, everyone, everyone, everyone is equal. There is nothing you can say. Everyone is equal. Period! End of discussion. You are not better than anyone, American, European, immigrant, illegal immigrant, terrorist, martyr, God, god, or gods. You are equal to everyone. My phil...

I'm Finished

I know for the past five/six months or so I've tried to be concise and coherant when I write. I try to develop thoughts into essays etc. etc. etc. This has begun to bother me. So from now on, I'm just going to write and see where it takes me. I don't care if it's structurely sound or any of that. I will mean what I say and I will say exactly what I mean, precision is more important than grammatics. Who's to decide what's proper speech and what's not anyways. Us that's who, not English professors, us. We decide. For God's sake, "D'oh!", Homer Simpson's exclamation, is now in the Oxford English Dictionary. It's us, not them. Now with that said I'd like to bring up two last points. "Judge not, lest ye be judged." -The Good Book and "Be the change you want to see in society." -Ghandi. So, next time someone tells me I'm wrong this will be my answer. Don't judge, I'm defining myself. An...

It's That Time of Year Again

So, it's that time of year again, and no I don't mean Christmas. It's the other one. You know, the only other time of the year that you go to Church. Like I'm one to talk about organized religion. But, at least I'm consistent. You in your divine wisdom decide around this time of year that, apparently, your yearly Church-going quota hasn't been filled yet. So you all panic and rush out to the nearest church and get really religious for the next two weeks. The way I see it, if you people are going to be religious at least be a little more through about it. If you want to take that path stop doing it so half-assed. Then again, who am I to tell you what to do. I'm just pointing out a double standard. What gives you people the right to tell me that I'm wrong just because you're a CAPE Catholic or something. (Christmas, Advent, Pentecost, and Easter.) Am I supposed to be impressed? Stupified? Not just religiously speaking, I think that it's best to try...

Our Life

Love is an issue for the heart, not politics, not politicians. It doesn't discriminate. It is a chemical reaction, that we in our higher brains have discriminated against. We restrict ourselves. We restrain our impulses because we fear them. For 100,000 years we evolved to become what we are today. Yet in all that time, or because of it, we have forgotten who we were. In an attempt to become more evolved, we have forsaken our own primal urges. We have been tamed. We are no longer nature, we are above it, we control it. Every day that we embrace the antithesis of our roots we become more a slave to ourselves. We err, we suffer, we die, all an effort to preserve a self-manufactured, self-fabricated existence where we remove pain, we remove suffering. We are robots. We have removed pain and in doing so we remove happiness. We are mellow; we feel naught. We are not, nor will we ever be, in this form, complete. We have become slaves to the anti-impulsatory society that we formed to shie...

Ding Dong the Hammer is Dead!

Tom DeLay and Jack Abramoff. Mark that as two down and more to come. Isn't it just great when people begin to realize the problem with the Repubican Party. They have no morals. Well, actually that's wrong. They believe that they are moral and I do too. They are moral when talking about personal decisions: religion, gay marriage, tax breaks, etc. They look at the personal affects of such decisions in their light (not in other's though) and in doing so ignore that their economic policies have and are destroying our job market (outsourcing, etc. You'll probably mention that Clinton signed the NAFTA and WTO agreements, yet what has Bush done to repeal them when it was found that they most certainly hurt us in the long run?), repealing our freedoms, and making a fool of us on the world stage. Republicans believe in serving persons first and others second. They give contracts to companies whose former CEO is our VP. He profits from this through his large stock holdings in the...

Technology is Stupid

So, yeah if you haven't noticed, I haven't writing lately. That's because my computer had a virus and I am presently trying to salvage a $1000 cheap piece of crap. I will write soon hopefully, otherwise, later. We'll see. I'll just leave you with a thought. As technology has gotten bigger and bigger in society it has become easier and easier for our memory to be swept clean. 150,000 years ago a couple of primitive humans painted caricatures on the walls of caverns. 3,500 years ago the pyramids were built on two different continents. 400 years ago the printing press was created; there are already texts that are too far gone to read. 75 years ago computers were created. And in less than a hundred years 99% of everything that we have on our computers today will be completely unidentifiable. That is, if it even still exists.
