so I DON'T have the right to refuse service to anyone?

2/26/2014

I can not disassociate myself or my business from someone(s) I personally find undesirable for whatever reason? Isn't that an infringement on MY civil rights?...Look, my community and my peers should shun me and boycott my business if they disagree with me, and the LGBT community should picket out in front of my door if they so desired, and I would definitely suffer financially, maybe even to the point of bankruptcy, but....as an individual business owner a citizen of this country I definitely have the right to choose who I wish to interact with on any particular level, be it personal or professional. I do believe this right is spelled out in the Constitution, and I do agree that I don't need religion as a reason to discriminate, I just have the right to....this is interesting reading here.

Today's HITLER

What is it called when it's not even race or religion that marks you for extermination, but a mere thought from someone else, anyone else, even a complete stranger...and what do you call the rest of the world's indifference to it?

Kim Jung Un must be tried at the Hauge for crimes against humanity. That North Korea exists today is-well, there are no words that could do justice for this situation. The reality is ignored by almost everyone, and those who are in position to do something cower at the thought of having to grapple with their own morality and actually DO the right thing. And what would be the right thing? Well how about if China decides that it had enough of it's next door neighbor beating the kids to death and let's the international community take out the North's nukes, and then erases the DMZ so there is only one Korea. The stories of families' finally meeting are heart-braking, completely cruel and unusual punishment by my standards--waiting decades for a few hours visit to be decided by lottery, and then never being able to do so again--animals treat each other better than this. And yet the rest of us watch and shake our heads in horror and disgust, and then say things like "there is nothing we can do, he has nukes". Really? Is there not a single world leader out there willing to stick his neck out to free millions and go down in the history books as the most heroic, ever?
This is the cruelest, most inhumane government on the face of this Earth. This is a fact. To allow it's existence is immoral and unjust to the human species. I will pick up arms and go myself if allowed to, I swear this bothers me to no ends. Do something, won't you, to force a change?

Yes, Greta, I am completely outraged...

that not only did someone(s) have the idea of monitoring the press, but that others found no reason to negate this idea from the very start to begin with. What papers write about or not write about, or how news organizations spin the news is not the governments business. That would indeed violate the First Amendment of free speech and freedom of the press. So the real question is, how and why does a governmental agency propose to willfully violate the very first rule on the books by suggesting an unconstitutional action? And why are we not watching some kind of court hearing or major public discussion about this? Why is it that so few seem to care? Here are some details worth reading...

You're not supposed to fall down at the Olympics!

Yuzuru Hanyu did indeed win the gold medal after falling twice in one program because of his grace and....WTF? It's the OLYMPICS! It's supposed to be the best of the best for heaven's sake, not the lesser of two evils! Well, let's see, we'll just reward those who tried and failed, repeatedly, over those who prodded nice and steady and pulled it home in the long stretch. Hm, I thought the Tortoise was supposed to win, not the Hare....point being, falling at these games used to be an aberration, an embarrassment, and a guarantee that you will not be on the podium. A well skated routine lacking quads-and any spills-is much more worthy of a medal than a program in which one or two quads were landed while one or two were missed and the skater sat down. Poorly executed but ballsy moves do not showcase something you've mastered, and that's exactly what the Olympics is supposed to do. I'm just saying...

Resistance is futile

and a great look into what a supposed utopia might be like. It took me quite a while into the story to realize about the lack of.....well, you should read it for yourself. It's been out for almost 20 years. It's quick and easy reading, written for older kids using easy to understand phrasing and language, but you will find yourself pondering some very deep questions. I invite our President, and all of congress, and all the media as well to a public discussion of the ideas featured in the book-it goes a bit further than Fahrenheit 451, trust me. This book and other ideas like it are not just someone's imagination-they are the plans of a movement that will slowly see society develop into a Borg-like hive of humans, all the same, all drones, none in control and not even knowing it...it starts with income equality, then we will move onto food and housing equality, then personal pleasures equality-and then once we all have equal bread and circuses-then what? Is government willing to dictate work ethic equality? How about moral code equality? How about having us all behave with the same loyalty, integrity, responsibility, or lack there of? Resistance is futile, you shall be assimilated into the machine of societal engineering as operated by those who think they know what's good for you.

Keeping an eye on some efforts by representatives worth voting for towards trying to check the Executive branch on it's POP (Power of the Pen) episode. I am thrilled about the number of people upset enough to actually do something to keep America from slipping further from it's original governing intent.

Ah, the Olympics of my childhood...

I have memories of watching the Olympics in my grandma's living room, so it has to be 1972 and 1976 I'm recalling. I recall nothing about terrorist attacks or boycotts, I was a young child, but I remember we saw only the Eastern Block countries' athletes compete-the one and only channel was of course totally censored- and everyone rooted for the commies against the West. This year's Olympics seem to have the same air as Pres. Putin surrounds himself with some fellow tyrants-er, leaders-from about. It's East meets West, a showdown!
My husband reminds me Russia is not communist any more....and I reminded him that we're not a democratic republic any more .... now that I think about it, Pres. Obama should fit right in, he really should have gone. I can just see it now, Obama and Putin, arms raised in unison as they say "Super Pen Powers, activate!"

Answer sheet for future interviews....

2/3/2014

Well, Mr. Oreilly-and all others who get a chance- it may be easier to get the simple "yes" or "no" answer most journalists so fruitlessly seek from politicians if you tried an entirely new format. Please note how the above template eliminates the possibility of the off topic answer-you know, the ramble that has nothing to do with the actual question being asked-and actually steers the interviewee towards seeming either arrogant (don't ask me this again) or stupid (more info...) unless they are willing to choose yes or no as the only viable options. It should work really well on anyone with a sizable ego, especially during the upcoming presidential campaign!
Nice try, Bill, but even you couldn't get a simple yes or no out of the man for love or money, huh? Must have been frustrating beyond compare...one of the reasons I can't blog every day if I want to keep some of my sanity....
