Suspension of Disbelief

Well, we're on our way to lawfully discriminate against a sect of our society here in Massachusetts. As of last weekend, it was announced that "they" now have 120,000+ signatures (twice as many as "they" needed) to put a constitutional amendment onto the ballot defining marriage as between "one man and one woman". Where did these votes come from? Conservative Christians, of course, the signature sheets were sent around parishes for much of the last year. What a separation of church and state we have. Better yet, isn't it just special that the Catholic Church has decided that it has a role to play in government affairs. Because those who don't sign the petition will go to hell of course. Three words: Crock of shit. They argue that homosexuality is unnatural, that it is a sin, that there is a sanctity to marriage. Yet, no one's god has come down from on high and proclaimed that the sexual urges of one tenth of the population (extrapolated to ...

1. Mace him. 2. Flatulence. 3. Flip him the bird. 4. Call 911, ask for a date. 5. Make a pass at an officer of the same sex, hope they're straight. 6. Three words: Traffic Light Challenge. 7. Moan when he pats you down. 8. Pet the dog in his backseat. 9. #8 again, because it means at least three different things. 10. Crazy Glue lawn gnomes on the hood of his cruiser. -Fly Free Forever.

To continue my ventings... I've changed my mind. Not on the aforementioned of course, but on what I want to say now. Privacy. Elected officials are people. Law enforcement officers are people. We are people. What gives some people the right to tell other people that they need to give them access to their things? Especially so, who gave them that right when we've done nothing wrong. Are we punishing people before they commit crimes that they weren't going to commit in the first place? Don't get me wrong. I'm all for restricting the rights of people who have broken the law, though only during their sentence period. And, I believe in restricting the rights of people who outrightly appear to be ready to commit a crime (man running with gun down the street, drunk drivers, etc.) But what I don't believe in is restricting the rights of everyone for the sake of capturing the few. I don't want to pass through metal detectors to get into my high school. I don't wa...

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...

Morality is a concept not a prerequisite of the Republican party, lest we forget certain events like Watergate, I'm sure that was morally sound. The free market economy is only supported by conservatives for two reasons, one: to increase the population of people buying companies crap so as to increase profits, and two: because cheaper labor equal greater profit. Individual liberty like from the Patriot Act? Or maybe a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage? Surely these increase individual liberties not curtail them. Justice is an abstract concept that only the foolish would contribute solely to the conservatives. There is no protection from criminals, they will always exist if one is taken off the streets others will replace them especially when the economy is what it is today. Homeland security is a construct of the Bush administration meant to frighten people into forgetting that the economy is in shambles. No amount of money will ever secure our boarders. Furthermore, it...

I hate junk mail. It's only purpose is to entice it's reader into buying a product that they wouldn't have ordinarily bought. I hate opening the mailbox and pulling out a handful of these propaganda-esque envelopes. Don't we all. But my hatred doesn't end there, no sir (or ma'am...), I've reached a whole new level of rage towards wayward mail just today. Every Thurs.-Sat. I sort mail for the Webster-Dickinson cluster at UMass Amherst. Now, this job does entitle a slight propensity towards junk mail hatred, if the 3000+ spam I cleared out of my email account yesterday wasn't enough, but no, today I sorted 600 separate pieces of mail from Capital One. Free credit cards, hah, take it and they've got you hooked. But I digress... That wasn't what annoyed me really, I sort junk mail all the time (maybe a third of all mail I sort) but this time, I knew for a fact that not only was it junk mail that everyone was just going to throw out, also I found that...

I'd like to take this time to better describe the description of my blog. If for anyone, for myself. A forum of the unwillingly two-faced: Sometimes we feel that we live seperate lifes one internally and one externally. This blog is for those whose internal is screaming for release. the rantings of a mad man: Not the rantings of a "madman", I'm not crazy. This is just a place for my maddening thoughts to roam free, a sort of free-range internal zoo. and the victims of the invisable, indelible systems: A spelling error, shit. Irregardless, and yes in my mind that is a word (a word is a sound that conveys meaning [and you know what I'm meaning])... Irregardless, in society there are those who have and those who have not. This is true of all societies regardless of design. There is no utopia. This blog is for those of us who have been to the proverbial mountain and come back (for some inexplicable reason) and for those whom life periodically treads on. for th...
