Words Continued...

Semantics. I don't care about semantics. Tell it like it is. Any time this word is used you must understand that I realize that everything you are about to say is pure bullshit.

Gay marriage. For God's sake, get over it. They are supposed to have the same rights as you whether you like it or not. Besides, in siding against it your are actually taking your right to marry anyone you want away as well. Sure, you may never use it, but isn't it nice to know you have the freedom to? It's really not the end of the world.

Gay marriage again. It's not gay marriage, it's marriage. We don't call it traditional meaning straight marriage, so stop using it.

Civil Unions. Same thing, different name. Give it up. There is no sanctity in marriage, as it should be. It is the union of two people into a social and civil contract stating that they will love each other. Why do we need such a thing?

Red State/Blue State. The opinions of the majority do not reflect the opinions of everyone. This is the flaw of republican (not the party) democracy.

Democracy. We do not have a democracy. We have a representative democracy or a republic.

The Parents Council. Why don't you actually parent your kids instead of complaining about why the television, movie, and music industries aren't doing it for you.

Spin. As in in the news industry. Everything, even the truth, has some sort of bias. The difference is that I think the truth is liberal and you think it is conservative. I am right. Guess what's left.

Pedophile Priest. No one is above the law. They must all be tried and the guilty convicted and sent to prison for the same amount of time as any other pedophile. The cloth is not immunity. Those who partake are criminals.

Katrina victims. I see the point, there was a big disparity across ethnicities. Stop reminding me. News is no longer new when it's old news.

Breaking News. Stop interrupting my regularly scheduled program. If I cared I'd be watching CNN or FOX or something else. I don't, leave me in peace. For a couple hours a day I'd like to be able to escape from the painful reality that is the outside world. Leave me alone. If I want to be unhappy I'll ask for it. Thank you.

Disaster. Why is everything weather-related today called a disaster? Maybe it was a catastrophe, or an epidemic, or a mishap. Get these news writers a fucking thesaurus.

And that's all I can think of at this time. There will be more.

A Thought

Simple people see things in simple ways with simple solutions. Complex people see things in complex ways and with complex solutions. Neither are inherently wrong or right. They just are.

My Own Mind

The human mind is a duality.  That is to say, there are two people inside most people's heads.  It is the interaction of these two entities that determines who you are.   The first is the sum total of all of your experiences, it is a body of knowledge that you reflect on when thinking or meditating.  It is not the consciousness that we traditionally think of as our mind.  It's behind that.  It's the voice that alters your mood, makes irrational fears float to the surface in times of stress, and ultimately has a significant impact on you as a person.   The second is your consciousness.  It is the core of you as a person.  It is the voice you hear in your head when thinking or reading this sentence.  Some do not have that voice, incidentally.  For instance, those that are born deaf often have that "voice" represent as images.  Others simply don't have it.  This voice is the real you.  It's the part that you in...

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.
