My rants:
Politics. This is absurd. These people are supposed to be our servants, right? Yet they persist in doing what we don't want and lining their own pockets. There should be term limits on all offices, not jus the president. Two terms for the pres, two terms for them all. There needs to be a balanced budget amendment to stop these people from spending money we don't have. A line item veto so committees cannot put all these riders on bills for their own benefit. This is a biggie with me. Why are we sending millions of dollars overseas when our own people are starving. America cannot afford to support the world. Need to take care of our own first then the rest. Don't see how any of this is going to happen though unless a constitutional convention is called. The people making the laws have a vested interest in keeping things the way they are. After all they are getting rich while screwing the public.
Driving. My god I wish people would learn how to drive. LISTEN TO ME! When you are getting on the highway the acceleration lane is for accelerating. You should be speeding up to match the traffic that is on the highway. The people on the highway do not have to slow down or move over for you. If they do, are just being nice. If they don't it is their right. You are wrong. Same with changing lanes. The person already in that lane has the right of way. If they don't give way it is your fault. People in general need to start taking responsibility for their own actions. You made the choice and did that. Own up to it. If you are driving slower than the rest of the people on the road move to the right. The left lane is for passing and emergency vehicles, not for driving 5 miles under the speed limit in. If there is a wreck on the side of the road don't slow down to look. Just because you want to see a little blood is no reason to cause an accident. Drive on and rent a gory movie when you go home.
Prisons. Enough is enough. These people are in there to be punished. They should be put to work. Growing their own food if nothing else. Let them make things to sell and do so at market value. Bring the chain gangs back. Lord knows the streets need to be fixed. Cruel and unusual punishment is a oxymoron. If something is not cruel it is not punishment. Also if it is something that happens all the time is just the same old thing, not punishment. Things can be taken to far but right now prisoners have it better than some working people. 3 meals a day, place to sleep, and education. Why are the prisons overcrowded? Lets sleep prisoners in shifts. 8 hrs to sleep, 8hrs to work, 8 hrs to relax or study. Sounds like my life.
Gun control? Pick whatever slogan you want. "When guns are outlawed only outlaws will have guns." "When guns are outlawed can we use swords?" "Gun control is hitting your target." "Guns don't kill people. I do." There are many others and they speak the truth. If we outlawed guns in this country today, do you know who would turn them in? Only the people who follow the law. That means that criminals wont. Do you understand that? People who break the law with guns aren't likely to follow a law requiring them to get rid of guns. Hell, they would probably vote for it so they would have guns and their victims wouldn't. This country was defended by common men with guns. The fact that most people in this country own guns might just be why we have never been successfully invaded. The politicians would love to take away our right to have guns, that way we would be at a serious disadvantage if we ever decided to get rid of them. I see no problem with registering guns. A waiting period, fine. However if anyone tries to take my right to keep and bear arms away, well guess I will just have to cross to the outlaw side.
Guilt free? Saw this awhile back. A shirt or something proclaiming that someone lives guilt free because they don't eat meat. What is it about our society? Are we looking for things to feel guilty about? I live guilt free and still eat meat. Just refuse to create guilt about it for myself. That is right, I said create guilt. That is all people are doing. Just like used to create guilt because we wanted sex. I don't feel any more guilty about wanting meat than do about wanting sex. They are both natural and instinctive. Have we have gotten so far away from nature that we are going to berate ourselves for being animals? We are animals you know. Humans are the most dangerous and unpredictable beast in existence. We are overcrowding this planet and soon something will have to be done about that. If we don't restrain ourselves then nature will. Plagues, war, some other disaster for our race. These are ways of controlling population. We are eating ourselves out of house and home on a planetary scale. Space should be our salvation but as long as the government controls that only people they trust will go there. I don't know what to do and have rambled way beyond my original topic, but hey. Am just ranting here.
These are just my opinions. If you don't like them fine. Want to debate them write me.
