This is ridiculous!

For those of you who don't like the drama it would probably be best to skip this blog.

To those of you out there whom I've neglected in my call returning duty, I apologize. It's not that you've done anything wrong, it's simply because I choose not to pick up the phone. Whether it's because I just don't want to talk to anyone at that particular point in time or because I feel it disrespectful to my wife-to-be to continue relationships with some people, I'd hope you respect that it is my choice to make.

Next, I'd like to finally settle this whole friend first situation. To those of you who judge friendships on a chronological scale of association... hello? I am sorry, but I do not contrive friendships based on how long I have known the person in question. Ultimately, it's my friends who choose who they are, not me. If they feel the need to break that bond, for whatever reason, that's their choice to make.

For those of you wondering, I hold no animosity toward anyone. Just because I haven't talked to you in a while does not mean I've forgotten about you or want to end the friendship. You just have to understand that my priorities in life have changed. It's funny how certain events in life can change your entire view of the world...

And on that note, for those of you who don't already know, Michelle and I are going to be married on Friday the 14th of November. We're having a small ceremony at the Justice of the Peace. Please don't be offended that you didn't receive an invitation because no one did. If you're interested in celebrating with us that evening and you're willing to leave any personal matters you may have at the door, please drop me a line and I'll let you know as soon as we've figured it all out ourselves.

Peace to everyone!

A nation of lies.

The desire for ones own safety and prosperity far outweighs the desire to quest for truth. Truth is not about truth any longer. Truth is about following the current trend. As any intellectual who has spent any significant amount time on the inside of a high school locker knows, it's better to follow the flow then to voice truth. Basic survival instinct. BooHoo for you if your brown nosing is later found to be incorrect. Until that time comes where Americans can grow some balls and stand up against an establishment perpetuated by lies, their culture will continue to be dragged through the mud by those who do the perpetuating.

John Cleese gets it!









This whole thing is turning out like an episode of The Simpsons. Sorry McCain, blowback's a bitch!

Liberty!

When I say liberty, I do not simply mean what is referred to as free enterprise. I mean liberty of the individual to think his own thoughts and live is own life as he desires to think and to live. A liberty of the family to decide how they wish to live, what they want to eat for breakfast and for dinner, and how they wish to spend their time. Liberty of a man to develop his ideas and get other people to teach those ideas if he can convince them that they add some value to the world. Liberty of every local community to decide how it's children will be educated, how it's local services should be run, and who it's local leader should be. Liberty of a man to choose his own occupation and liberty of a man to run his own business as he thinks it otta be run, as long as it does not interfere with the right of other people to do the same thing. - Robert A Taft

Gets me thinking about the whole evolution battle going on in the courts. If the local communities believe in Christianity, then I think their parents and educators should be free to teach that way of thinking. I personally have different beliefs, but I hope I will have the liberty to pass those ideas onto my own children without the interference of some lobbyist social group. Until we stop this kind of social bigotry, we will never be the nation the framers intended. And more importantly, we'll never be the nation of ideals we've so delusionally painted for the rest of the world.

At least someone knows what's going on.

I find it funny that people still think we're going to be able to survive this economic mess without pains. "Leaders" keep chanting, "We'll fix this, we'll fix this" but nothing seems to be getting fixed.

The economy of the world moves in a smooth ebb and flow motion through time. When you impose rules (regulations) on the market it causes turbulence in the system. When you get enough rules running about throughout the system the turbulence gets great enough to literally destroy the rules.

People will eventually see that the rules are the problem. Unfortunately given the massive short sightedness of the population, this isn't going to happen until we're quite possibly eating sawdust bread.

Listen to this guy. You can feel the ignorance in the air when he talks. News casters have no idea how to respond to him. They all have looks of "Oh my god, maybe he's right!" on their faces. No one wants to believe that the good times are over. Here's the video, watch the whole thing. I think the posture of the news organization is humorous at least.

"We are where we are." ... ROFL
