This is one of those things that really hits home with me because as new adult citizen, I was so close to becoming a felon it scares me to think about it.If you break the law, you are supposed to pay your fine or do your time and then that is supposed to be the […]
Some more thoughts on voting and elections.I think Election Day should be a national holiday. And employers should have to make sure that employees have an opportunity to make it to the polling locations to vote.There should not be any absentee voting. Voting is a citizen’s right & responsibility to vote. NOT voting is a […]
This is another issue that I am fairly torn on.On one hand, I believe that there should be absolutely no restriction on drugs.I think treatment for addictions is a far better solution than incarceration.I also don’t think it is up to anyone to decide what a citizen can do to their own body (and yes, […]
Men & Women are not the same! (They should be treated equal under the law) Men are not more violent than women. Men and women just use different tactics when being abusive. There are laws to deal with situations when one person attacks another and they should be applied equally. Now, my personal code of […]
If they tell you what you should not say… They are likely your family or friends. If they tell you what must not say… They believe they have some authority over you. If they tell you what you “should say”… They fancy that they are your betters. If they tell you what you MUST say… […]
===Hate Speech vs Free SpeechI find this entire subject to be so dumb.In essence there is no such thing as “HATE Speech”.(Imagine the arrogance of a person to be able to claim what a person has in their heart and mind. Seriously, Who the hell actually believes they can read minds) But lets us not […]
===Copyright & PatentsOK… the media, record industry and movie industry have made it a criminal act to copy anything! As if media was some sort of contraband. Look, I understand that when someone creates something they are entitled to earn a profit. But that does not mean you get to charge “Ad infinitum”. Currently you […]
I have a serious problem with the concept of a “Hate Crime”. Those convicted of a Hate Crime are punished more than others that are punished for the same act against someone else. This is flat wrong. If you assault a person, that is a crime. But why should it be worse if it is […]
I believe in Martin Luther King Jr. view: “Judge not by the color of one’s skin, but on the content of one’s Character” I do not believe in affirmative action, nor welfare. I think these programs are the hands that are holding minorities down. One does not become more fit in a gym by making […]
I honestly did not listen to the whole thing.I clicked on it more to read the comments. It has a ton of America bashing in it. And my mind immediately zeros in on something. Being an IT guy, I tend to look at things from a cost to benefit ratio. And here is my post: […]
The Pledge of Allegiance, The National Anthem, & The United States of America FlagIf you are a citizen of the United States of America, it is one of your civic duties to be able to recite The Pledge of Allegiance & The National Anthem. It is not something that will be enforced with monetary punishment. […]
Many people take this to mean that religion has no place in Government. WRONG. What this means is that the State (aka USA) should not have a state sponsored religion. Nor should religion be holding sway over public policy. An unelected body should not be dictating the policy of the United States. This does not […]
This is a religious institution. Marriage has been defined throughout history as a commitment between a MAN and a WOMAN.Whether this means one man and one woman or one man and multiple wives that is up to the precepts of the particular religion. This institution is not up for debate by the state. This is […]
I think Jesse Ventura had a great idea. Remove the labels identifying who is a democrat/republican/independent at the polls. The order of the names should be randomized as well to avoid people picking the first name on the list or the last. People need to vote responsibly. Far too many people vote one party or […]
As much as I can sympathize with those that are displace due to gentrification (And I can! as the APT’s I was living at was purchased by a developer and raised my rent so high I was forced to move. While I kept my place up and kept it nice. Virtually no one else did. […]
