Enough I say! Enough, enough, ENOUGH!!
Stop blaming 3rd party voters for Romney's defeat. Romney SUCKED as a candidate. The GOP has no one to blame BUT themselves for picking him as their candidate - 3rd party voters can't even vote in most state primaries!
STOP with the damn secession talk! Texas can NOT survive without the US. This is NOT Sam Houston's day. We do NOT have the means to support ourselves as a nation, nor would the US let us go our own little way with no fight - that we CAN'T win!
STOP with the "I'm moving to Canada". You dumbasses! Canada has gay marriage & socialized medicine. You know, that shit you're throwing tantrums about.
STOP finding what divides us! START working to unite us! We're ALL Americans. We're ALL in this boat together. Trying to pigeon hole hundreds upon hundreds of millions of people into 2 extremes is the problem! NOT that the voters are fed up with it! Look at your neighbor, see what you have in common, how you can work together instead of trying to tear each other apart. That crap has put us in this boat. Decades of it, on BOTH sides. The POTUS has been elected. Don't act like some of Gore's supporters in 2000 - behave yourselves and SERVE your nation, not destroy it from within!
STOP with the "God, save us" bullshit! Your right to your religion is supreme, but SO IS MINE! Treat those as you wish to be treated, NOT like horrible lepers that are out to destroy you. Christ did NOT say to hate your neighbors, to destroy them, to degrade them, to lie about them, to be nasty to them. He said to LOVE them. If you truly ARE a Christian you would do that - quite a few I know that claim Christianity do NOT follow the word of Christ, but are instead twisting it to suit their own hate filled agendas. STOP IT!!
START acting like Americans. We're different, through & through, but we're also stronger for it. If your God wanted us all to be like you, he'd have made us that way. He didn't, so why the hell do you think you should have to power to do so? Are you so conceited in your hate, so firm in your miserly spirit that you think you are better than your own god?
START living the "Golden Rule". EVERYONE - pagan, christian, jew, muslim, taoist, shintoist, etc, etc, etc - has that creed. LIVE BY IT!! Don't buy into DC's hate & propaganda, prove you're better than that. True Americans ARE better than that. Are you a TRUE American, or just giving lip service?

Its hot?
No shit Sherlock!
It seems the center of the US is in the grips of a heat wave & we should all feel terribly for them!
I don't. I've heard people from those states laugh it up at Texas' expense (& NM, AZ, CA, & even UT) because of the heat we have every summer.
In TX we don't drop like flies in 115-120 degree heat. We're smart enough to GO INSIDE in the heat of the day! Apparently this very basic understanding escapes a LOT of Americans - Heat = go where it's cool!!
I don't hope anyone dies, but I sure as hell hope it wakes some buttheads up to the fact they've been having some serious Schadenfreude at the "south west's" expense for decades. Time to pay the Piper folks. Just remember to do it from INSIDE the house with the windows open & fans on, if you don't have A/C.

So did your sign change?
According to the Minnesota Planetarium Society (don't they just sound like farmers watching stars instead of cows), the zodiac is NOT correct. Honestly it isn't & hasn't been for a long time. The sun signs as given are based on 2000 year old astrology. Not 2000 years worth of astrology, literally astrology that was done 2000 years ago.
So are you now one of the new, 13th sign? Ophiuchus is actually now the 12th sign, so you late blooming Sagittarius may get to stay where you are. However I'm a Leo - through & through. My sign is still Leo, thought I'm now in the "cusp" week at the beginning of the sign.
Not that I live my life by my astrology. Its just an amusement. Any Ophichus readers out there? Did your sign change? Do you think you fit well in your 'new' one?

My case for legalization of marijuana
Let me start off by saying that:
With those caveats out of the way, let's get on with it.
I have long had issue with the federal government, and state governments, outlawing marijuana. There is no Constitutional basis for the outlawing of it, it was legal up into the 1920s so the change in societal ideas seems to coincide with Prohibition, which I take moral issue with. (If I chose not to do something, that's MY right. However I do NOT believe anyone has the right (nor does society at large) to force others to conform to my beliefs. Outside of a few tenants that are sacrosanct - murder, rape, torture, & generally forcing those who are helpless to protect themselves into doing something they don't want to do, society has no rights to enforce upon you or me or anyone a set of rules that must be followed without deviation.)
The fallacy of a federal government (or any government for that matter) that outlaws a growing plant does NOT escape me. It is a naturally growing, perfectly normal, plant. What a HUMAN does with it after harvesting it should NOT make the plant illegal. Plain & simple common sense dictates that man writing a law on paper holds no sway in the kingdom of Flora & Fauna. This is an absolute. I can outlaw mosquitoes, doesn't mean they're going to go away or give a squirt that I outlawed them. Same for a non-sentient (to currently knowledge any way) plant. It is ludicrous for a man (or group of men) to make a law saying a plant can't grow or be grown. IT OCCURS WITHOUT THOUGHT TO MAN, thus your law against it is pointless & nothing more than political aggrandizement of wanton stupidity. My opinions on political wanton stupidity are for a different day.
The sheer money we spend to keep those who imbibe in the weed in prison every day is staggering & needless waste! The tax payer (you, me & every other honest American but apparently NOT Wesley Snipes - among others) pays for their food, their bed, their clothes, their medicine, their entertainment, their education, their subsidization with work, their physical protection & the creation of NEW prisons in which to keep them. WHAT do we get out of this? NOT A DAMN THING! They don't work on chain gangs so we get no sweat equity. They learn from more hardened criminals how to break the law & not get caught again so we get only hardened criminals coming out. We get the joy of jailhouse lawyers who's only purpose in learning the law is to thwart it or screw over the honest citizens amongst us, so we get ceremonially shit on by those who use as well. We get a backlog of court cases clogging an already busy system, thus preventing the vast majority of defendants to their speedy day in court. We lose countless man hours for police to attempt to catch & punish those who smoke a weed.
What is the difference between marijuana & tobacco? Honestly, on a molecular level to a moral level if you have something to say I welcome it. One would think molecularily they are very different, and while many do get a 'high' off of weed, it isn't a violent one, or a criminal one. It makes you stupid & hungry. Not at all what I would term as a threat to society or even to yourself.
The federal government, including military doctors, PRESCRIBE marijuana to patients with conditions that make them not eat. Be it cancer to adverse effects to other medications, it is prescribed by the employees of the very government that says it's illegal. That hypocrisy has never sat well with me. I'm all for giving a cancer patient something to help them eat, but to give them the very thing that they can't legally buy without cancer eating them alive from the inside out is disturbing to me on a deeply visceral level.
If we were to legalize weed in small quantities, much like they do in the Netherlands, for immediate use at a government sanctioned location/pot hut we would then be able to legally TAX it. The federal government is always moaning it doesn't have enough $$, but goes out of its way to hobble itself in the process.
Weed legalization would see an almost immediate decrease in the number of people in the criminal justice system. They wouldn't be arrested, freeing up Police time & supplies to combat ACTUAL criminals. They wouldn't be found guilty, thus producing yet another mouth for the societal teat to feed.
Weed legalization would allow Police $$ & time & personnel to be better spent tracking actual criminals instead of low end personal users. What I do in my own home is my own business, just as I feel what you do in your home is your business. Animals, children & elderly aside - if you're all consenting adults I don't care! Nor do I want or need to know about it unless I chose to partake in it with you.
Weed legalization would lead to a near to immediate reduction in prison inmates. No one arrested for minor use, means no minor users taking up space! That would DRASTICALLY lower the costs to pay for prisoners. From bedding & clothes to toilet paper to wipe their asses to food to fill their bellies to meds to quiet their aches & pains. From not having to buy the little turds a new XBox or Wii to less electricity because less facilities to lower construction costs, its a win win in my opinion. (Feel free to share yours in the comments, I really do like to hear & see different view points.)
So it would lead to an immediate decrease in prisoner numbers, prison costs, and court costs. It would lead to an immediate upswing in tax income as well.
Thus is my opinion & reasoning behind supporting the legalization of marijuana.
- 1 - I do NOT smoke weed. PERIOD. I do NOT want to smoke weed. PERIOD.
2 - I do NOT believe that smoking weed makes you a better or worse person.
3 - I do NOT believe that weed makes you suseptible to every other drug on the planet.
4 - I do NOT believe weed makes you commit crimes or become violent but all people react differently so I will not say it is impossible, only highly improbable given my personal experiences with those that do partake.

Enough with 2012!
Ugh. I hate doomsday predictions, and I hate chicken littles. Combine the two and you're in for a world of scorn and ridicule! Graft that stupidity onto an ancient calendar and we're reaching levels of animosity reserved for only the most insidious perpetrators of arrogant Western though.
The world WILL NOT END in 2012! The damn Maya say so, their calendar says so, astronomers say so, archaeologists say so, and so does the dang Bible! No amount of morons looking for star happenings in galaxies light years away, no number of dumbass hollyweird movies, or Discovery Channel specials will change that!
Look here, I may be a pagan and be quite proud of it but even I remember the Bible. Yea, that pesky little frame work so very few who espouse Christianity ACTUALLY follow. Its followers have been screaming Armageddon and the end of the world since 34 CE. They don't have such a good track record with the end of the world and all.
Then we have the sandwich board loons. The "END IS NIGH" kind of folks. The Y2Kers, the Hale-Bop comet crazies, and the like. The ones who screamed that Bird Flu, then Swine Flu would be the eradication of humanity. If only it was, to get rid of the likes of them!
Seriously folks, its time to put down the funky purple kool-aid and get a grip!
Mankind can not possibly fathom the end of the world. I have no idea when it will happen, but I'm perfectly okay with saying Dec. 2012 ain't it. The fact a cycle in a millenial old calendar comes to a close on that date does not equate to the end of the world. If I know you and you espouse this belief, expect an ass beating come 2013, because I will be around and you will be a moron in need of a boot up side your behind!

The weight debate
Jessica Simpson is a grade-A idiot. A disgrace to Texan women everywhere. We are not so dumb as to believe that buffaloes have wings, tuna is chicken, or any other idiotic, lame brained thing to come out of her mouth. We also don't think it's cool to have your dad involved in your sex life - especially if he's a 'preacher' who's ditched your mom for fake titted, bleach blonde bimbos that look way, WAY too much like you and your younger sister. That shit's just creepy, hell it gives creep the creeps.
Now, on to the weight issue. Do NOT sell your cheap ass in a bikini, or Daisy Dukes (which you weren't fit to wear in the first place!), then bitch when you're NOT that sexy. You don't get it both ways. Either you sell your body (which is what she's happy to do), or you use your mind (which she obviously doesn't possess much of). When you gain weight, and your entire life revolves around how 'hot' you look, they'll call you fat. Get over it! You put yourself in that position, so don't whine when you get the negative that comes along with it. Stop putting the chicken fried steak in you mouth and get you fat ass on a treadmill. I'd say read something, and learn to use your brain but well, I'm not sure you can make it through the Cat & the Hat without needing to sound out the big words ...
This is why I feel no empathy for those who live life as airheads with fake tits! Eventually the tits sag, but stupid goes right to the bone. There is no way in hell anyone can play that stupid, for that long, without really being THAT STUPID.
