Which Doktor?

There is a lack of witch doctors out there. Shaman, medicine men, faith healers, call them what you will. We need more people who will role the bones and look at some animal guts and then give you something to make you feel better. Maybe they can help you cast a spell to remove that weird smell coming out of you?
I don’t mean wiccans. I mean the guy or woman who live in a village off in the woods casting spells. They always have to have something cooking in a big pot. And things in jars. You can’t be a witch doctor without things in jars that may or may not still be alive.
Why am I yearning for the magicmen? I think I am tired of doctors. Tired of people who barely treat you and proscribe a pill. The nurse takes a blood pressure, they look at your answers to a questionnaire, have you breathe in and breath out and then tell you to get a new pill. It feels like a scam.
Basically the doctors just tell you what you already know. Lose weight if you are fat. Eat better. Exercise. Stop smoking.  Take this pill. You need a pill to lower cholesterol, blood pressure, or blood sugar. Modern medicine is the fifty minute wait and the five minute appointment.
Never with a which doctor. Which? Witch! Voodoo daddy! Even if the cup of the liquid they give you to drink does nothing the theater is there as it bubbles and squelches and tastes horrible. The shaman himself- the bones, the makeup, the dancing--when was the last time a proctologist danced for you?
I don’t know if a dancing proctologist would be a good thing. Definitely not during the exam. Afterward? Might be awkward yet accompanied by a good meal? Seriously, you’ve already put out, how much worse could it be?
I don’t think witch doctors actually healed much. I could be wrong. I assume we heal more nowadays. We do give out more pills. We are told to chew leaves less often. I guess it’s hard for the pharmacy to stock leaves. Laterzzz...

Too lazy to write something new...


Fiscal Conservative--does that mean the tax breaks and corporate welfare go to the bankers, the energy cartels, the warmongers or some other group who doesn't need the help? As long as you can blame welfare queens its all good.

How about some Fiscal Progressiveness where we see who has the money and tax them. Like they did in the past. How about we stop spending money on endless wars that suck up our treasure and kill our people. How about end the drug war an put those cops to work securing the border or regulating the newly created marijuana farming industry.

I could go on, but we need less talk about "going back" and looking ahead. Too many conservatives see themselves as pioneers, homesteaders who can do it all by themselves out in the wild if gub'mint would get out the way. What they really are are Indians who tried to share the land and realized too late that the rest of the world was coming.

Nothing says America is guaranteed to win. The precious bible never mentions us.America could be a blip on the radar of history if we don't get our shit together.

But what do I know, I'm an asshole posting on a wrestling board. Pro-choice, tax the rich, generally anti-war, actually pro-gun, and pro-legalization and an American asshole.

No peace, No Justice

George Zimmerman probably won’t go to jail.

If you are reading this in the future he was the guy who got out of his car after 9-11 told him not to and confronted a black teenager in a hoodie who had ice tea and Skittles. Then he shot him.

Supposedly when Zimmerman confronted Treyvon Martin, Treyvon attacked him. Zimmerman felt his life was in danger and shot him.

After being told to stay in his car and wait for the police who he had called to report a person in a hoodie just walking, he shot him.

The problem is the shooting is probably going to be considered legal because Florida and other states have a “stand your ground” law. It means you don’t have to run from a fight, conflict, conflagration, situation, or bruhaha. You can shoot the other person if they scare you and make you worry for you life. You don’t have to prove that in court. Just mention it to the cops. You don’t even need to have any marks on you. Or witnesses.

”He was going to kill me officer.” On your way you go.

So Zimmerman not being arrested isn’t the biggest problem here. Basically they just tagged and bagged the YBT(young,black teenager) and took him to the morgue. They didn’t check his cell phone. They didn’t canvas the area. Just another dead alleged gang banger,dropout,rapper, thug. Luckily Treyvon’s family didn’t let that lie; they claimed their son, and went to the media. Outrage ensued. Zimmerman was finally arrested. That is the short version.

The reason he won’t be found guilty? No one can prove after all this time he wasn’t in fear for his life. That means that law will protect him. I personally think when you get out of the car when the 9-11 operator tells you not to, you lose the right to say I was scared for my life unless you are saving someone. Zimmerman isn’t freaking Batman.

He does live in Florida. I’ll be surprised if they don’t put him on the money. Laterzzz...
