Protesters

Protesters are like 2 year old's. They kick and scream and yell until they get what they want. It seems as though there is a protest against everything. They're always marching down Main Street in the middle of the day.

And while there is a time, place and reason for protesting, not all are good and productive.

My first thought is.........don't you people have jobs? Why not assemble prior to 8am or after 5pm? Is it that you are you still shaking that dank hangover off and can't peel yourself out of your hammock, or are you busy manning up in front of Whole Foods every evening speaking hippie with the employees.

When our 2 year old's kick, scream and throw tantrums because they want to play with scissors, we ignore them until they stop. Giving in just reinforces them to do it again and again until they get what they want.

Just like society does with protesters.

The Natural Progression?

Everything is cyclical. Economics, nature, people, ......governments?

“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves money from the public treasure. From that moment on the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most money from the public treasury, with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy followed by a dictatorship.
The average age of the world’s great civilizations has been two hundred years. These nations have progressed through the following sequence: from bondage to spiritual faith, from spiritual faith to great courage, from courage to liberty, from liberty to abundance, from abundance to selfishness, from selfishness to complacency from complacency to apathy, from apathy to dependency, from dependency back to bondage.”

Interesting.

My Visit to the Voting Booth

I wasn't really sure where I was supposed to report, so I just followed the signs that said "Voting Booth", .............in 5 languages.

When I found it and made my way inside I got to over hear 2 communists having a conversation about the pitiful performance and low approval ratings of the current administration. Granted, however Stalin & Gorbachev failed to mention the abysmal ratings their own pinko controlled congress. How convenient. I came close to offering my opinion, but changed my mind.

I also remembered that it wasn't necessary to show my ID to get my ballot, even though I was prepared to do so.

Soooooo, we offer voting assistance to every language that could swing a vote. And you don't need to be who you say you are to cast a ballot.

If you are too lazy, ignorant or incompetent not to have some type of state issued ID, you do not deserve a vote. Does someone living here for 20 years who can't (refuses) to speak english or has been here for 2 months, and can't speak english, earn the right to dictate how our country is run?

Only in America

Montgomery Brewster was a good pick. I wonder if the Geriatric collecting my ballot will have any idea who the hell that is.

Thought of the Day

This non daylight savings thing sucks. Unless you're a vampire or a burglar, why would you want the sun to go down at 3:15pm? What advantage in life do we gain from driving home from work in the dark or watching tv at 7:30, but you could have swore it was midnight?

When the sun goes down earlier aren't we now using more energy for light & heat? Doesn't this go against all priciples of combating Global Warming and energy usage?
