Summer's Coming

So, I've been a bit busy lately, but when everything settles down I do plan to write again. Hopefully, it'll be sooner than later. If not, at least by the 25th. I've got a rant in the works for conservative usage of "patriotism". Hopefully I'll get that out soon.

Thou Shalt Not Discriminate

In the age of post-Enlightenment we have little use for archaic symbols and archaic ceremonies. They are simply not practical for the on-the-move post-modern reconstructionist. Really now, these superstitions are just silly. They are a means of profit for an organization and a means of control of a populace that in the past has been all to ready to let someone lead them instead of leading themselves.

God or no god, these practices are worthless today. If there is a god, then I believe the greatest way one can respect them is to respect ourselves and each other. We have to respect the gift of life, our free will, our own brains for once. We are not a premature people. We can rise up and do truly wondrously great things if we decide to throw off the self-imposed shackles that are religion.

If there is no god, then won't you feel stupid when we figure it out for certain. You'd be no better than the Romans or the Greeks or the Egyptians praying to golden idols. Exactly the same. No different. If you want something to get done right, don't go out and do it yourself; go pray to an idol. Because we right now are right about everything. Forget 15,000 years of preexisting history and the centuries to come. We are right now and they are ALL wrong. Someone should call Vegas and get some odds on that. I would bet that you are more likely to be struck by lightning than have the correct religious beliefs. Hey, people have been struck by lightning before and we've yet to prove a god even exists not to mention if we've been worshipping the right one the right way.

But let's say for the sake of argument that there is a god and he made man in his image. If such a deity existed, and if it was me, I think the first commandment (root word: command) would be "Thou Shalt Not Discriminate." After all, they're my creation, I wouldn't want them stealing from each other the rights I've imparted on them. But that's just me. Maybe a truly enlightened god would make his first three commandments all things pertaining to himself. I don't know, I'm not a deity. Maybe, just maybe however, someday someone in the far off future will find this website and start worshipping me too. They'd be wrong, but hell I'm not one to stop them from trying.

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 to rip this nation from the clutches of multinational corporations and return the seed of democracy to our own lives.

:P

Hmm, someone's been looking at my site from work. For shame. Perhaps, it's someone's work is to see my site? For shame.
