    I'm against Gun Control as well as Abortions. In California, there's a law in the books that teenagers do not have to inform their parents about an abortion. You don't have to tell me what Asshats Californians are.

    But that doesn't Change what's Right and what's Wrong.

    I guess that's what makes me an Independent and not a Stereotype.

    Actual CNN Headline: Antifa Seeks 'Peace Through Violence'

    NPR had one of their spokespeople on last night. Dude says 99% of the time, non-violent protest is preferable, but there are circumstances when violence is morally acceptable. I think his numbers were a little off...

    Peace through violence is only possible by dominating, beating into submission or destroying you opponent.

    In essence, those people who believe in peace thru violence are saying they wish to go to war, because that is the only situation that their mentality works.

    ESPN pulls announcer from UVA game because his name is Robert Lee.

    The problem with that is it would make too much sense. 

    I was not kidding when I said it has gone too far. What is coming is not going to be good, and something is coming. I wish I knew what, in what form, because it is hard to prepare for all the possibilities at once.

    Thankfully a public pole of ESPN's decision came back in the high 90%s of thinking that this has gone too far.

    ESPN has always taken criticism for it's Political stance, even internally. What happened to just being concerned about showing sports? 

    That is why they are losing viewers at an alarming rate as well.

    So I saw this commercial, yet again (it's an old one)...

    https://youtu.be/V1gq0BYcwIU

    Which, of course, reminded me of this study conducted by the medical branch of the UN...

    An d wondered to myself just how long 're gonna standby and let them demonize yet another Plant.

    I overheard someone refer to themselves as a demisexual. I had to go look it up. Apperantly a demisexual is someone who doesn't want to have physical relations without emotional ones....

    In other words... Most people.... If you are not a philanderer the lbgtqrstuv people are trying to label you as one of theirs as well...

    What a time to be alive!



    I pity my old high schools. George Washington in Alexandria, VA., and Jeb Stuart in Fairfax County Va., a true bastion of liberal thinking.
    Learned to fight at the first one and got drafted into the Police Boys club boxing club (it was an either or situation).
    In the second I was a minority, a greaser. Drove a rather "unique" 55/56 Crown Vic, never knew the year for sure. Everyone else was in lock step with whatever fad was in vogue. Madras shirts and cliques ruled the day.
    And I was poor in a rich school. 
    But, we got along with each other. Sure, there was the occasional greaser insult but it never amounted to anything. 
    We had a slew of debate clubs and shooting clubs. Teachers would open the class to debates on whatever was the subject of the day. It was actually fun because the teachers knew we all had our own opinions and you weren't going to be ostracized for them, and some actually changed their points of view.

    What I am trying to say "can't we all get along" (sorry for that).

    If this announcer story had happened then, it would have left everyone dumbfounded. We would probably not believe it, it had to be a joke.

    We've spent too long protecting our kids from any adversity for them to know how to handle it. Unfortunately it's not completely recent. I had a 50 year old woman tell me it's not fair that she has to help her coworkers when they fall behind. It blew my mind. How does someone get to 50 and still believe life is fair?

    I have used that word before. 
    "I am trysexual, I will try anything once."
    It was the 80s, and most of that decade is just a blur now!
