There is often a great gap between that which I/we want and that which I/we need.
Lately I have been getting a much tighter grip on the need want conundrum. Living only on debit cards will do that for a person. Donating Plasma and driving Uber helps as well.
The suffix ...ist is an odd thing. In many cases it added to your profession make you good at it. I am a Machinist. when you study to be good at something they add ist to your work. If you study Guitar you are a guitarist, the flute a flutist, after many years in school and you can be a psychologist.
However when you ad ...ist to race you are a raciest, or to sex you are a sexist. These to are practicality a death sentence in today's politically correctness driven society. Not to say that there is any thing even remotely okay about being a raciest or a sexist but where is the difference coming from?
I don't believe that I am a racist. I believe that I am a "Culture-ist". I find a Culture that lives and dies on its vicim-hood to be reprehensible. There are some VERY Crazy ideas being put forward these days surrounding Racism. It seems that the notion of Three meals a day is racist, and the craziest thing that I believe I have EVER heard mathematics is racist. I have watched the You-tube videos that propose these notions many times, I still can not understand the rational behind these claims. There is also a ground swell movement gaining traction where by black persons in America at present are due reparations for the Colonial era slavery that existed in America some 200 years ago. Oddly enough, one of the persons pushing this idea, a Sunny Hostin, co-host on the much maligned day-time talk show, found out that in her ancestors history there are in fact slave "OWNERS". How does she propose to square receiving reparations for colonial era slavery that she feels has somehow caused her some economic harm if she have slave owners in your genealogical past? Will this involve some high level "Racist" Newer Math that will be able to make a full accounting of this? The unfortunate truth is that the city of San Francisco is actually considering a plan that will allocate 5 MILLION Dollars per black person. San Francisco can't even afford to clean shit (actual shit, human fesses, shit) off of its streets. The City recently hosted some big deal APEC Summit meeting nations from around the GLOBE were in attendance. And the city had actually taken the time and expence to map out where the shit (fesses) was located in the city so that clean up crews could go out and clean it up. Map it out? San Francisco recently, I say recently it took some many years to make this happen, built a public restroom. The city spent 1.7 Million Dollars on a 150 square foot public restroom. Permits to get permits and one environmental and I assume utility impact study after another. Un-fucking-believable! I used to dream of living in San Francisco. Now I cant even dredge up the desire to visit.
While we are talking about suffixes "-phobic" is everywhere. Speak out about any of the LGBTQrstuvwxyz... and you are a "Homo-phobe, a Fat-phobe a Trans-phobe and the list is growing moment by moment it seems. The suffix phobe is used when a person has an irrational fear of what ever you have stapled the suffix to.
I do not have a fear of rational or otherwise of Gay men, Lesbian women not even in the slightest. I do however have a very serious problem with "Pride Month". There used to be Pride parades and festivals buy now there is an entire month dedicated to Gay Pride. I say Gay pride because I believe that Gay is a blanket term that can be used to cover the whole of the LGBTQrstuvwxyz...crowd. I could be wrong. As much as everything is in a constant state of flux one can never be sure anymore. So no I am, not a Homo-phobe.
I do not have a fear of Trans individuals. I do however have a very serious issue with trans men insinuating themselves into women's spaces. The most egregious example of this trend is, at least to me, when men self identify as women and weasel their way into women's sports and women's personals spaces. Sports that's pretty simple. If a genetically born male wakes up one day and declares himself to be a female and starts participating in women's sporting events. There has been a TIDAL wave of this happening recently. Everything; swimming, bicycling, weightlifting, virtually any sport that used to be declared a "Woman's" ( by Title 9) event has been infiltrated be trans-men. The most famous example is the Will/Lea Thomas sued his way into the Women's NCAA swimming team in the University of Pennsylvania. He "killed the competition. Crushed every record. Not by fractions of a second either not by portions of a body length Full seconds and Full body lengths. He stole records, titles and most importantly Scholarships. He stole them from deserving young women.
By personal spaces I mean changing/locker rooms restrooms. Again with the Will Thomas example he is/was a 6'4" fully genitally fully intact male, he was allowed to use the women's locker room. A locker/changing room where in women are entitled to privacy, safety and dignity. The moment that U Penn NCAA people made the decision to allow Will Thomas to participate on the women's swim team and to allow him to use the woman's locker room they completely stripped the women on the U Penn swim team of all of the privacy, safety and dignity implied by the "Woman's Locker/changing room". And they facilitated the theft of records, titles and scholarships. I find this morally ethically heinous and atrocious. I would use more vitriolic words here but it's late and I can't dredge them up right now.
This sort of "DEI" is creeping all across the country and world. The alter of inclusion is blood stained in "Gyms" all across the country. Planet Fitness has "Bent the knee" to this alter. They allow any male self identifying as female to use the women's locker room. YMCA gyms have also bent their knee. Fast food restaurant's city parks are experiencing issues with men using the women's restrooms.
more to come.
Hi there and hello.
So here I am again. I have several ideas that I need/want to flesh out completely.
Some of these ideas are regarding the impending total collapse of society. Society, not just the American society but the global society. There are so many wolves clawing and howling at the doors. I guess I will try to list them here not just for anybody who stumbles upon this raggedy old mans thought cave.
"Trans" as it has come to be understood to me is a mental delusion, dis-order, dis-morphia. Just a Anorexia is an eating disorder where in the anorexic individual's mental self image is not in line with individual's true image or shape. The anorexic's imagined or perceived weight is grossly high relative to their true weight. This idea is the same for the trans individual. The trans individuals bodily image is not in line with their bodily genetic, genital confirmation.
I know that this page will need to be
edited down, a lot. At the time (start time 5:15 am) of this writing iteration I don't
really have the ideas all laid out in any discernible outline format or
even the totality of the thoughts I need to clarify for my own self.
(1) The trans issue and all that this implies. The issue is much like a hydra.
(A) The notion of trans persons crossing into women's spaces.
(a) Women's locker and changing rooms at work out gyms.
(b) Women's sporting events.
(2) Trans persons in the military.
(A) Trans persons vs heteronormitive individuals with relation to PTSD and post service treatment.
(3) Trans in elementary schools.
(A) "We're here We're Queer and We're here for your kids"
(1) Drag queen story hour.
(2) Discussion of sexual ideas in elementary school classes. "What do you want to be when you grow up Johnny?" has suddenly gone from occupational, vocational question to a completely open ended question. A question that is left completely open to absolutely everything. If Johnny wants to identify as a dust mote or a cat everybody is suddenly compelled to accept Johnny's delusional assertion. This has been carried to ridiculous extremes in some grade schools. Some schools are actually putting Litter boxes in the school bathrooms for those children identifying as animals of one sort or another.
As you have no doubt heard there is an election coming up, again.
I am just not sure how to vote.
If i vote for the corrupt incumbents we get screwed yet again.
If I vote for the newbies full of idealism and vigor the corrupt incumbents will corrupt them and stonewall their every effort to do any good for "We the people".
And if we did manage to sweep all the incumbents out and replace them with well intention-ed new wave of government screws they would soon be corrupted by the corporate screws looking to maintain the status quo. And it they managed to avoid that trap and did managed to pass positive legislation that would benefit "We the people" activist Judges would shoot it down by saying the tried and true "I find that to be unconstitutional" and out it goes. There should be a damn program called "Constitution Check" like a Spell check that makes sure that you don't waste so darn much time and money writing stupid laws that are simply going to be erased by a single judge no mater how many people vote for the law a single judge can with the stroke of a pen wipe it away. What ever happened to the "Will of the people"? Just one Judge can come along and "Interpret" the constitution his way and make that call and totally disregard the People. And he is not even elected. There is NO recourse for "We the People". That is sort of like the "artists concept" disclaimer.
So if I sound a bit disillusioned I am, very. I think that is what they want, to make it so complicated and disheartening that no one will give a rats ass and they can continue to rape and pillage "We the people".
This year is a watershed year for elections. On one hand we are saddled with a doddering senile old dictator who is well known to be corrupt but is protected by a "cabal" a cadre of powerful, influential intractable, greed driven, warmongering, cant say no to any crazy idea that pops its head up from the cesspool of society that is America today. His closest adviser is his son. A former crack smoking drug-addicted weirdo.
Here's a joke... If there are six lines of equal length, how high will Hunter be after he returns from the bathroom?
This doddering old dictator excuse me doddering old pants shitting dictator. Shitting his pants at the Vatican. Are you SHITTING me? It boggles the mind as to who among us can keep making excuse after excuse for these failings in a WORLD leader. His total and absolute lack of ability to string together a sentence during a press conference, an interview or a debate gives me pause to wonder just how badly he is representing AMERICA, arguably the most powerful nation on the planet, behind closed doors. It also begs the question, who is propping up his decisions? Who is making "his" decisions? Who is making the decisions that are behind his press conferences? Who are the puppet masters? And, finally, it begs the question when he does appear to be sentient, lucid, awake, aware of his surroundings, sensible, well considered, ALL the things a World Leader should exhibit, during the occasional spasm of lucidity, just how much of the Adrenaline, Epinephrine, Nor-epinephrine, Meth Amphetamine, Adderall and Ritalin cocktail do his handlers have to dose him with? His blood "cocktail" percentage must be about 50/50. and this likely explains why he has to be forcibly led off stage when after his surge of lucidity brought about by this "cocktail" wares off and his mind crashes. It causes me to wonder who's cocaine was found in the White House. And how was that incident made to disappear so quickly and completely? If that was ANY other president the TRUTH would have been found out. and exposed. Even if only to hang the guilt on some junior staffer, who's drug addled past/present would be ficitfied and fabricated so deeply and completely and convincingly that even the staffer would believe in his guilt. (Read; 1984 Rat in a face cage scenario) It is WAY to coincidental that Hunter, an known addict and wandering the halls of the White House was not Heavily investigated. Blood samples taken, blood toxicity panels performed and those results made public.
It boggles my mind just how much power the Obamas and the Clinton's still hold in the oval office. I recently heard that Hillary talks on the phone to the white House DAILY.
What was the phrase made famous by "Deep Throat" in the now long forgotten Woodward and Bernstein's outing of President Nixon. "Follow the Money". Where ever there is money there is power and where there is power there is corruption.
This is an essay written by the much esteemed Paul Harvey many years ago. See if you don't recognize any of this in today's society. You likely don't of Mr. Paul Harvey except that maybe your grand/great grand parents have mentioned him to you. The link will play a YouTube audible file of Mr. Paul Harvey reading this essay.
"If I were the Devil": A Warning to America From Paul Harvey.
“If I were the devil … If I were the Prince of Darkness, I’d want to engulf the whole world in darkness. And I’d have a third of its real estate, and four-fifths of its population, but I wouldn’t be happy until I had seized the ripest apple on the tree — Thee. So I’d set about however necessary to take over the United States. I’d subvert the churches first — I’d begin with a campaign of whispers. With the wisdom of a serpent, I would whisper to you as I whispered to Eve: ‘Do as you please.
To the young, I would whisper that ‘The Bible is a myth.’ I would convince them that man created God instead of the other way around. I would confide that what’s bad is good, and what’s good is ‘square.’ And the old, I would teach to pray, after me, ‘Our Father, which art in Washington…
And then I’d get organized. I’d educate authors in how to make lurid literature exciting, so that anything else would appear dull and uninteresting. I’d threaten TV with dirtier movies and vice versa. I’d pedal narcotics to whom I could. I’d sell alcohol to ladies and gentlemen of distinction. I’d tranquilize the rest with pills.
If I were the devil I’d soon have families at war with themselves, churches at war with themselves, and nations at war with themselves; until each in its turn was consumed. And with promises of higher ratings I’d have mesmerizing media fanning the flames. If I were the devil I would encourage schools to refine young intellects, but neglect to discipline emotions — just let those run wild, until before you knew it, you’d have to have drug sniffing dogs and metal detectors at every schoolhouse door.
Within a decade I’d have prisons overflowing, I’d have judges promoting pornography — soon I could evict God from the courthouse, then from the schoolhouse, and then from the houses of Congress. And in His own churches I would substitute psychology for religion, and deify science. I would lure priests and pastors into misusing boys and girls, and church money. If I were the devil I’d make the symbols of Easter an egg and the symbol of Christmas a bottle.
If I were the devil I’d take from those who have, and give to those who want until I had killed the incentive of the ambitious.
And what do you bet I could get whole states to promote gambling as the way to get rich? I would caution against extremes and hard work in Patriotism, in moral conduct. I would convince the young that marriage is old-fashioned, that swinging is more fun, that what you see on the TV is the way to be. And thus, I could undress you in public, and I could lure you into bed with diseases for which there is no cure. In other words, if I were the devil I’d just keep right on doing what he’s doing.”
Paul Harvey, good day.
