Random ramblings
Sense of Humor
Reading about the Muslim reaction to those comic strips makes me think only one thing--We have got to make more fun of these people. They are a fucking joke. If you are so bent out of shape over a comic strip that you set buildings on fire and hurt and kill people, you have got your priorities way, way out of whack. So forget dropping bombs on them and trying to bring them democracy. Let's just send comics books over there and it will piss them off so much that they will try to fight us. Then we can kill them as much as we want because they will have started it. Sounds like a good plan if you ask me. On a serious note it makes me worried because when you are dealing with a culture who priorities are sofar out of whack how the hell can you ever have peace? It might be like the Nazis and Japanese during WW2. You have to kill enough of them that the rest have have a fundamental shift in viewpoint. Or at least until they no longer pose a danger to the world.
Boots
I have a pair of boots that I got for Christmas that I have not worn. When I first got them the laces were too short. So I got new laces. I have not put the laces on the boots. I have no idea if the new laces are any better than the old laces. See the think is I wanted a pair of boots because if it shows the shoes I have really could not be more slippery if they were coated in oil. But since I have got the boots it really hasn't snowed in any significant way(knock on wood). If I take the boots out of the box maybe that will break the magic and it will snow heaps? I don't want any snow. It's just gonna bring problems this year. Then again I don't want to wear the boots for the first time only when it snows. I need you break them in you know? I don't know if that is considered being superstitious or not? Does it count as superstitious if it works? I guess I should get them ready. They are actually good looking leather boots.
Birthdays
Today is my Sister Lisa's birthday. She was born in 1978. During a big fucking blizzard. She has been a topic of my ranting. She annoys me, and can piss me off worse than anyone. I just want to say, for the record, that I love her to death and she is good sister for the most part, I guess. HAHAHAHA! It is also my ex-girlfriend, current friend, (I know she hates when I call her a "friend" but the term non-enemy just doesn't pop), Tami's birthday. Happy Birthday to her, also.
Polar Bears
The government is thinking about putting Polar bears on the protected species list. Some scientists are saying that because of the warming of the Artic their homes on the ice will be threatened. See the bears pretty much spend their lives on the ice, hunting for seals. Seal is quite tasty too a polar bear. Actually, anything a polar bear can get its paws on is tasty as polar bears will hunt and eat whatever it can, even people. I like polar bears. I respect them. They are big and strong and you just can't trust them. You fuck up and they will end you. It always amuses me how we use such a dangerous animal to sell Coke at Christmas. I have seen on one of those nature shows, there is a town in either Alaska or Canada where the polar bears migrate through during the year. Pretty much you have to make everything, like the front door, bear-proof or else they will get it. And when bears and humans meet, nature decides who lives and dies. It's not gentle but it is natural. "Nature red in tooth and claw..." But this picture has nothing to do with that. I just like it.
Taxes
I have to do my taxes. I hope I get a lot of my money back. They took out so much. It just isn't fair. They screw single low income people. What the hell does my little bit of tax money buy? Does it buy enough gas to start up a tank? I know it's not enough to send a kid to school for even half a year. I think if you make under a certain amount of money, say thirty grand, they shouldn't take out taxes. Who the fuck can live on less then that? I think they ought to make Congress and other politicians live on that and see how well they do. At the same time if you are making over a hundred grand a year and you complain about not being able to afford shit, you need to shut the fuck up. Pay your taxes and don't be a whiney fuck. I mean anyone with a little discipline can live good on a hundred K. Real good. And don't get me started on the rich. Yeah, I would love to join them. And if I do,(come on Powerball), I will bitch about my taxes. But I will pay them. And be happy about it. The government needs to just throw out the current tax code and start over. Make it a simple percentage system with no deductions. Make corporations pay what they should without all this asset hiding shit and use the IRS to get the money that is hidden. It will never happen though. There is nothing that will fight harder then a lawyer trying to keep their job. If the tax system was simplified who would need tax lawyers. It will never happen. Same with the justice system. It will never be reformed because of the lawyers. Least until the revolution comes and we most of them. I say most because we will keep some alive to use as organ donors and to hunt down politicians. Lawyers will point out a politician like a compass points the North Pole. First time a lawyer would ever be good for anything.
Think that is it. I might add more Laterzzz...
