A little Secret

Driving is too easy for people.
Well actually that is not entirely true. Being able to legally drive is too easy for people. Driving is apparently really really hard for people to do. Now, I occasionally speed, but since moving to the south I have seen innumerable driving violations from a racially diverse group. No wonder NC has made "hit and run" a felony charge in this state.

People should loose privilege and not get to say shit about it. Boo hoo, I need my car to get to work. Sucks to be you. Walk. Or get familiar with the bus routes.

For instance there is this guy in Michigan who owns swampland (First of all GENIUS, why the hell did you buy swampland? That must have been one hell of a sales pitch. By the by, I have a bridge in Alaska I can sell you...). Right now he is fighting the "Clean Water" Act in court because he wants to drain the swamp and build on it. Long story short the Clear Water Act says that you can't do things like this because water ways NEED swamps because that is how they purify themselves of all the shit we routinely dump in them. Long story short this moron is trying to get out of it on a technicality and is fighting it tooth and nail.

See this is when the hammer needs to come down and say, "No, I am sorry, thanks for playing but you loose. You don't get to have civil liberties. You're DONE. Go home." And that's it. I'm sorry, if common sense says you are a douchebag, then the judge should be able to tell you to get the hell out of there.

The Christian Right is Christian only insofar as it progresses their own agenda and monetary gain.

Presidential Hubris

The Palestinian state just had it's parliamentary elections. Lo and behold they elected mostly Hamas officials so far. If you live beneath a chunk of calcite, Hamas is the group in Palestine who is armed and violently opposed to the Israeli occupation.
Now the interesting thing is that our dear Mr. Bush had the balls to say that he wasn't going to recognize this group unless they disarmed themselves.

Hang on... This was a democratically elected group, elected by their own people... How again is the Us involved to the point where we can dole out an ultimatum? Weather they disarm or not is not even one little tiny bit of our concern! They are not a US principality, we have no jurisdiction over them.

How dare Bush think that he has the right to deliver this kind of message to a people he himself knows so very little about. (Did you actually WATCH his speech in Kansas? Not to mention that Kansas OVERWHELMINGLY voted for Bush, the questions all seemed to be pandering to his ego. Except for the one about the education budget being cut. Seemed to me that the guy didn't even RECALL that he had cut it by 12 billion. Acted like it was all news to him, asking for the question to be repeated... [click on Hearing Impaired]) The point is he's never seemed very informed about anything, ever, for any reason.

Here's the thing. Bush needs to stop talking out of his ass in regard to countries we have no invested interest in. Oh, well, I mean aside from pandering to the Jewish nation because his election depends on the millions of Jewish voters in America and the funds that the Israeli lobbyists are paying.

I like Homer. He's got a sound mind for the most part, and a really good look at the emotion of coal mining in WV. Basically wituout WV there would be no US as a world power. So you better all freaking know where it is on the MAP.

However the other big ugly devil to keep in mind in all this is that while the miners themselves are whimiscal and heartful of emotion and goodness the mine bosses, or the mine owners and companies are sometimes the worse form of demons ever known to walk this earth.

I put a picture of a strip mine in the article below. You want to talk about a deep sadness for the resources of our country? Look into that little gem of knoweledge that most people in the country are blissfully ignorant of. Nine times out of ten the mine owners and their companies couldn't care less about their workers. Which is to say in this era of big corporations, what else is new right?

Just keep in mind that the good people of West Virginia and other mining states put up with a lot of hell for not a whole lot of compensation in the form of saftey or kindness, just so we can turn on lights when it gets to dark and scary outside.
