Brain Splatter

Today is Labor Day. September 1st. 2008. Labor Day.

Labor Day is to honor the workers of America, I believe. I could look it up on the net but I just don't feel like it. So because I am writing this I will say that is why it was made up. It isn't like this is one of those countries that has a so called Labor political party. So it can't be for that. I doubt they would have a holiday that was based on women about to give birth so that definition of labor doesn't apply.

But speaking about going into labor, it appears that the new Republican Vice Presidential Nominee's daughter, who is 17 years old, is knocked up. Well, so much for family values huh?

This is what always gets me about so called social conservatives, it's the do as I say not as I do thing. This woman who thinks that she would be able to run the country can't even instill her beliefs in her daughter what makes you think she could inspire a nation? Look, if you believe birth control is wrong, and people shouldn't have sex until marriage, fine. If you are prepared to spread your doctrine to the school children of the country and to,if it was in your hand, eliminate a person's right to an abortion but you haven't even been able to pass that belief on to your kids? I think that shoots down not just the credibility of your argument but also of your worthiness to spread it.

I also believe that in most cases 17 year olds probably shouldn't be having kids. It's not that I think that it is wrong I just think most people are not ready to have kids at that age and they will miss out on lots of life if you have kids so young. At the same time, some people just want to have kids and family. Maybe they just want to be a mom and a dad or they the thing they want most in life is to have a family. That is a valid life choice. People used to have kids a lot younger.

I think what pisses me off more about this whole situation is that some people are not going to mention this about her family. Like it doesn't matter. It does matter. Everything matters when you talk about something like picking a President.

It matters that Obama is black. It matters that Biden is an insider. It matters that McCain is old. It matters what there families are like and how much money they have and who there friends are and what their secrets are.

If you want the job to be the President of the United States you need to have a thick skin. I also think you need the ability, when some douche comes up to you and says, hey your daughter is knocked up; shouldn't she get an abortion? You need to be able to defend your stance against it and why your teachings as a parent failed and why you won't fuck up if you become President, vice or otherwise. And if you can't nut up and answer the douche then you are not the one for the job.

Ok--back on course. What was I talking about. Oh yeah, Labor Day. Workers unite! Throw off the chains of your oppressive masters and take back the land of our fathers!

Heh heh heh. I kill me.I don't quite think that is the point of the holiday. Maybe it should be? More and more the American worker is getting it up the ass. Maybe a little bit of revolution would be a good thing? When was the last time we had a good workers uprising in this country? I say next time a company wants to move jobs overseas, maybe that is the time to burn down the CEO's house? A few firebombings might change peoples' minds about outsourcing, don't you think?

Is this the point where I should say that violence isn't the answer and that only by coming together for change can the world be better and blah blah blah? That's just bullshit, because violence can be an answer. It has been in the past and it will be in the future. The part that is difficult is to know that it isn't always the answer. It really does matter what the question is.

If the question is would you like some pie, the answer is yes. Just thought you would like to know. Let me see if I can find a picture of a delicious pie...that is a great way to end this entry...Laterzzz...
