Not only are people fighting each other to get their hands on the first PS3s, but they are mostly not even buying them for themselves. Then other people are actually buying them for extraordinary amounts on Ebay. Isn't this scalping?
Now people are beating the shit out of each other to steal them.
And finally cops are murdering kids for the theft.
The shooter may get off because the jury foreman checked the wrong box. I wonder which lawyer picked this guy in the voire dire?
Too far
Man in Atlanta was handcuffed and fined for selling a subway token because it is illegal to do so. He sold it to another person who was having trouble with a malfunctioning auto token seller. Ah, the law, protecting and preserving humanity once again.
The thing that bothered me about the small plane that crashed into the Manhattan apartment building was that all you heard was the baseball player's name and his instructer. "Yankee Cory Lidle and his instructer." As if the flight instructer, Tyler Stanger, was not as important as the guy who plays a game for a job. Ahhh, society. Fuckin' news.
Take this into consideration: There are American car companies. Those companies are Chevy.
I want a progressive society, not a progressive government. A progressive government means that our society has failed us and is lazy.

divided we fall
-Alexander Hamilton-Federalist-
All communities divide themselves into the few and the many. The first are rich and wellborn, the other the mass of the people. The people are turbulent and changing; they seldom determine rightly. Give, therefore, to the first class a distinct, permanent share in the government. They will check the unsteadiness of the second.
-John Locke-The Second Treatise-
...Or else when by the miscarriages of those in authority, it is forfeited...it reverts to the society, and the people have the right to act as Supreme, and continue the Legislative in themselves (in new hands), or erect a new form.
-James Madison-The Federalist No.51-
The constant aim is to divide and arrange the several offices in such a manner as that each may be a check on the other
-John Stuart Mill-On Liberty-
...But when they are sure, it is not conscientiousness but cowardice to shrink from acting on their opinions, and allow doctrines which they honestly think dangerous to the welfare of mankind, either in this life or another to be scattered abroad without restraint, because other people, in less enlightened times, have persecuted opinions now believed to be true.
-James Q Wilson-Bureaucracy-
(American Paradoxical Bureaucracy)...two qualities ordinarily quite seperate: the multiplication of rules and the opportunity for access. We have a system laden with rules; elsewhere that is a sure sign that the bureaucracy is aloof from the people, distant from their concerns, preoccupied with power and privileges. We also have a system suffused with participation- councils, citizen groups, investigators, journalists, and lawyers,- elsewhere this popular involvement would be seen as evidence that the administration system is no good, inefficient and shot through with corruption and favoritism. These two traits- rules and openness- co-existing eludes many contemporary students of the subject.
-Thomas Jefferson-
"Given the choice between having a government without a press, or a press without a government, I would prefer the latter." While in office, though, he bitterly resented the press.
-Jefferson Davis-Inaugural Address 1861-
...I approach the discharge of the duties assigned to me with humble distrusting of my abilities, but with a sustaining confidence in the wisdom of those who are to guide and aid me in the administration of public affairs, and an abiding faith in the virtue and patriotism of the people... Our present political position has been achieved in a manner unprecedented in the history of nations. It illustrates the American idea that governments rest on the consent of the governed, and that it is a right of the people to alter or abolish them at will whenever they become destructive of the ends for which they were established. (this right is inalienable)
(?)
-No man, the radicals urged in the most American of all arguements, ought to forget what level he came from; when he does, he ought to be led back and shown the mortifying picture of originality.
-Public virtue is not so active as private love of gain.
-Rulers, the constitution makers of 1776 realized, must be conceived as creatures of the people, made for their use, accountable to them, and subject to removal as soon as they act inconsistent with the purpose for which they are formed.
As Americans, we used to seek the removal of barriers. That day is gone. Rules and license has taken over. Fullest individual expression has been retarded due to ignorance and false morals. A true young American, convinced that he-a chosen one-stood on the threshold of true greatness-would feed others of his world democratic ideals.

more Big Brother
Government asleep at the switch
Much like smoking in a bar, emergency contraception handouts should be left to the owner of the establishment. If CVS says yes, then the pharmacist should oblige. If someone owns his own pharmacy, and he doesn't morally believe in the use of such, he should be able to not sell them. This should not be a force of the government. As Blagojevich wants, if the pharmacy is out of the contraceptive, it needs to suggest a suitable alternative, order it, or transfer the prescription to another pharmacy. While the big companies will do what they will, and that is to make money, an individual pharmacist should have the right to say,"If you didn't want to have a child, you should stop fucking".
Lies and misconceptions
Allusions to mushroom clouds in the build-up to the war in Iraq.
"Mission Accomplished"
Cheney: the insurgency is "in it's final throes".
McCain: "The frustration that America feels today was all too predictable because they were led to believe this could be some kind of day at the beach." If this was so predictable, couldn't have someone been more vociferous in preventing this?
The media says that we "NOW" reject the link the administration has made betwixt Iraq and the war on terror. But, many objected from the onset of the administration pushing this agenda. Many listened to the people, (Wilson, in particular) that Bush didn't listen to.
Rumsfeld: deeply troubled by the succes of the terrorist groups in manipulating the media to influence Westerners. Gee,who else does that?
In the 80's, many large cities carried urban renewal programs inwhich they put up modern apartment buildings. These buildings replaced hotels and boardinghouses that housed poor and single people, where rent was cheap. During the 70's, states and cities decided that mentally ill people would be better off in the community than in a mental facility. So, they were released, weren't ready, and became homeless.
Bail me out
Bailouts for business is the worst use of taxes. It's a business. If you fail, you failed. It is not fair for those that run a good business or struggle and come through.
tax $ for studies. Tax $ to see if being a rock star shortens your life. C'mon. Is this your science community now?

i want some McDonalds
They are now enticing detainees at Guantanamo with movies and fast food. What a reversal of tactics. They are looking to produce vital information on terrorism, while many of the prisoners have been there for about 5 years. Their information is going to be outdated. Paul Rester, director of the Joint Intelligence Group at Gitmo insists that knowledge does not perish with time. I guess he wasn't alive during the whole case for WMDs debacle. Whose paying these assholes? oh...shit!
I am not for terrorism, but, i am also not for antagonizing weirdo fanatics: an Iraqi soldier in an interview said: "Every detainee in Iraq is detained because he poses a security threat to the government of Iraq, the people of Iraq or coalition forces." However, many detainees are released without charge and often years later. They are likely to be the ones that are pulled out of their beds during the night. Our soldiers are brainwashed;i already knew it, just looking for more vindication.

Land of the Mummed
plagerizing
The people's role in government was confined to the House of Commons; there the representatives should meet frequently and for a short time to correct the laws, returning immediatly to private life to experience the consequences of their actions along with other members of society...By thier added responsibilities, their long tenure in office and their consequent seperation from the body of the people, the members of the Commons were coming to resemble more the character of rulers than representatives of the ruled.
At one time or another almost every Whig patriot took or was given the name of an ancient republican hero. Classical references and allusions run through much of the colonists' writings; both public and private...Writing at a time when the greatest days of the Republic were crumbling, pessimistic Romans-Cicero, Sallust, Tacitus, Plutarch-contrasted the growing corruption and disorder they saw about them with an imagined earlier republican world of ordered simplicity and acadian virtue and sought continually to explain the transformation. It was as if they were speaking directly to the 18th Century American Revolutionaries.
Substantial elements of the American public are still all too ready to swallow simple slanderous slogans- "Tax and Spend Democrats"- that defeat concerted efforts to deal decisively with major national issues.
At present the Democrats are killing pork projects.

The time hath found us
from friggin' Eisenhower: "Every gun that is made, every warship that is launched, every rocket fired, signifies in the final sense, a theft from those those who hunger and are not fed, who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all, in any true sense. Under the cloud of war, it is humanity hanging on a cross of iron."
An article about Not burning the flag posed quite a Q: if i am protesting the seat belt law, and don't wear my seat belt, why am i tickited when there is a freedom of speech clause? well, sir, first of all, i totally hate and don't see the Governing qualities of the seat belt law, and don't see why we Illinoisians can't overturn it given that there is no helmut law. I never wear my seatbelt. It is my freedom to choose, though as in the land of the f'n free it's not my license to do so. So to answer a question, that noone will read, we aren't allowed to protest while breaking a law, even though we are protesting the law. We are hypocritical asses. Though,in China, they shoot us...
Creation of the American REPUBLIC-Gordon S. Wood- "The coherence and significance of the Americans is an incredible jumble of references from every conceivable time and place cumulatively, from the overriding purpose to which to which these purposes were put, the understanding of which John Adams called, 'the divine science of politics'." So, in order to understand and correct politics, we must understand and rationalize past politics and experiences, and learn from yoreland's mistakes.
the f'n Brits: politics as usual: before the Americans: (one more): politics nothing more than a perpetual battle between the passion of rulers, whether one or a few, and the united interest of the people-an opposition both inevitable and proportionable-(because in the past the rich proclaim divine right)-. Thomas Gordon, "Whatever is good for the people, is bad for their Guvna's, and what is good for the Guvna's is pernicious to the People." This is when we'll get the Whigs and a conception of a mutual contract...

change pace
you are an abomination of the human race, a dog damned decrepit monkey skeleton chili choker pepper belly. ah, turets, that's a good excuse, right?
"Do not stick me with your barb".
"Are you paying to much for the whistle?".
Nat Paine-"A price to pay for freedom - Our live, our fortunes, our sacred honor.
BFranklin-"What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly." mom was right.
"What man can make, man can unmake", Frederick Douglass.
I'll get my bread by the sweat of my brow.
-Presumed Innocent-"not all human disbehavior is the result of gross defects of character. Circumstances matter, too. Temptation, some."
a supposed martyr that announces her impending doom is not A MARTYR unless she kills someone besides herself. You have to do something for your cause, which you did not. You just murdered yourself, that's all folks; you didn't change anything. You were impotent, but the world is closer to being a better place without your fanatic ass.

stand on my soapbox
-In Iraq, the poor are killing the poor under the influencial and the rich are ordering it while they stay unscathed. Sound familiar? It seems that the poor do take Survival of the Fittest more seriously. Numbers is an advantage, seriously. I know what people in America think of France, but, France became a great republic because the hoi polloi roused itself against the few. Somebody in this nation should be smart enough to make us a true democracy. I think that what upsets those with concern is that they don't have a voice directly. Technology is there, we just have to protect our votes from the hackers. Isn't it always that way, something good vs. assrammers ready to fuck progress? I would like to say that numbers have won a many war, but, sometimes technology trumps that. So, i revert you to Iraq, which is even trickier, because they are hardly attacking us in comparison to attacking themselves. However, they are hitting us pretty good with primative equipment. Why, because they are ruthless. Invite yourself to look up the word "ruthless". I cannot comment any further because it has been said before in this blog...
time to put your bloodroot on. (bloodroot is what the indians painted their faces with for war...
The media has called attention to tbe Bush Administrations lies. It is the American public that hasn't done enough to check the administration. People site that the media hasn't informed us while they learned thier arguements from the media. Heads are in asses...

wednesday morn
-3709 iraqis were killed in October. nuff said.
-Headline says, "Efforts in vain". It is about a curfew imposed on Baghdad residents after a surge in violence. Violence still roared.
A curfew is not effort. I thought we had been there long enough to get enlightened on the simple shit. Guess not.
-Blagojevich administration ordered to pay $510,260 in legal fees to a gaming industry for a plan to prohibit sales of sexually explicit and violent games to minors. Jackass.
-National security advisor said the conflict in Iraq had entered "a new phase" requiring changes. Bullplop. Our government changed, and that is the reason for facilitating a change in Iraq policies. Oh, and I keep reading about changing efforts to curb an impending civil war. If what is happening in Iraq is not a civil war, then my name is Howdy Doody.
-Too reliant on government. Thanks for looking ahead Alexander Hamilton. When Katrina happened we blamed the government for the aftermath. How about getting out of the way of the killer storm you were warned about. Common sense, people. Our last hope of small government took a shit on the seat and left the office. Having government tell you what to do is like the lady who wouldn't leave the area when warned the volcano was about to explode. "God will protect those that are good". And now your relatives bury you.
-no matter in truth, it's whose got the better representation. "It's gonna be hard to convict Frist, he's got such good lawyers." Way to go society.
-the Patriot Act is our emergency clause to suspend our constitutional rights in times of emergency, much like the Soviet Union's. Terror has been here forever people.
-I'm not voting for a Papa Bear.
-Senate OKs cruelty ban. Military revises interrogation rules. Admission of guilt, anybody? Have the birds picked out your eyes?
-Socrates-money, fame, power meant nothing to him. Even influence eluded him. He didn't know where his next meal would come from. "If I know anything, I teach it to them. In common with them I turn over and explore the treasures of the wise men of which have been left written in books. If we find anything good, we pick it out and we thiink it a great gain if we can be beneficial to one another." He said that democracy, if it was stupid and unjust, was as evil as stupid and cruel as tyranny. Forms were comparitively unimportant. Government, whatever form it took, should be enlightened and just.
Why, when establishment condemns you to death, should you obey and die? So many in history have defied death warrants. Damn you too, Yeshua.
When asked what to do with his body post-mortem, Socrates replied, "You may do with it what you like, provided that you do not imagine it to be me".
-In 1877, the Italian astronomer Giovanni Schiaparelli, announced that he had discovered numerous fine, dark, straight lines on Mar's surface. He referred to them as "Canali", meaning channels. However, in translation of his reports, it became canals. Thus, his discovery acquired the implication that there were canals on Mars, structures created by intelligient beings. This sparked many a debate and made the word Martian a household name, and "proved" that Mars was habitable if not already "housing". This preluded to H.G. Wells' "War of the Worlds".
-The civilian space agency is mandated by law to make full disclosure about, say, a crisis. It often balks at doing so, even to congress. It also seeks to prevent its contractors from doing so. NASA, as a bureaucracy, plays this tune to protect itself from criticism and public awareness of its mistakes, inefficiencies, and ineptitudes.
It is easy to hide the truth in the layers of bureaucracy. Ask a question and you get 30 answers; something wrong, it was his fault.
-Edward Murrow- U.S. Information Agency. At a conference discussing comunications satelites: "Space satelites will not make human communications any better. They will simply difuse it over a wider area. Communications systems have no conscience. They will transmit both filth and inspiration with equal facility. Do we really want the world, without the context of background knowledge, to see television covering the bloodlettings and buss burnings in Alabama? It may be that the history of our day will be decided by what dreams we choose to deliver. The issue, gentlemen, is not how we deliver it but what our delivery has to say."
- The Lady or the Tiger, by Frank Stockton. If you live off of fate, and have faith that God will guide you fairly, why not just judge the way the king does in this story? ( you are presented with two doors, if you are guilty, you choose the door with the tiger behind it. If you are innocent you choose the door with the lady behind it.)
-Deputy sheriff sues tazor company because of injuries he sustained from a tazor during training. It was overruled do to an acount of assholeishness.

-experience is something you don't get until after you need it.
-you are born naked, wet, and hungry. things get worse.
-orson wells- in times of deceit, telling the truth will be revolutionary.
-martin luther-I neither can nor will recant anything, since it is neither safe nor right to set against conscience. Here I stand. I can do no other.
so sorry, but it has to be instilled
how the fuck can we stop this shit? maybe if we can horrify. probably not, because the civil war pictures sure didn't. this shit makes me want to kill everyone else so i can live in peace. this is vulgar, i hope you cry...
i have had a discussion with my bro's about the ethics of war, one thinks it isn't ethical to use unmanned drones to kill the enemy. one couldn't decide because it goes way back like i'm wearing body armor and you're not, so should i be conciously able to kill you. I told them that it is not an ethics question, but a quest for survival. it's about survival. you have to put ethics aside, otherwise you are perverted. i don't care whether you are in the military or not, if this is an ethics question, then you are a horrible fuck. i don't believe my brothers are horrible fucks, but i do believe they aren't putting this topic into the proper context.
jordan is right, it is an unfair advantage, but noone is going to agree to a settling boxing match. Jon is right, where does it end. in war, the best wins, duh.
the best doesn't always mean technologically ept. the insurgents in iraq are primitave, but the strongest armed forces in the world are perplexed...

ah, what's in the news today...
bombs in Shiite slum kill 161. Atleast 233 die for the day. Damn, no further comment.
-Ex Russian spy that was apparently poisoned dies. He was a critic of Russian government. Well, atleast for that bit, I'm proud to be an American.
-TV bounty hunter "Dog" Chapman is trying to weasel out of extradition to Mexico to face charges of illegal detention and conspiracy in his capture of a company heir there. Seems to me that such a man of the law should know not to nose around in other countries. Bounty hunting is illegal there. Something tells me he'll be able to get off easily.
I've been waiting for this shit for a long time now. I've watched his smug, scummy, hypocritical ass be Limbaugh like for a little while. Then it got to much for me. He's a scurve and then all of the sudden, "Jesus help me Lord", and the shit he was about, the scurve he just yesterday served are now the enemy. I've seen him be compassionant to some, (his ole' buddies), and be vehemently against most others.
This might be really controversial, but I wish there were some Marcinkos out there that would take out(capture and detaine) these smug assholes. Fucking Charlatan.
-OK, this might even be more controversial, but let me say upfront, I have nothing against a race, but...: Cosby seeks $8 from every American for slavery museum.
what was done to the slaves was horrible, and what's worse is that religion and government condoned it. But I have never owned a slave, my family that both sides came to America in the early 20th century never owned a slave. so i owe you bull-plop.
you remember the cruel breeding process that made the strongest, prettiest, best slaves. reparations, watch the NFL,MLB, and NBA. Oh, and by the way, I am an Irish, German, Cherokee American. Sorry if i offended anyone, but if i did, you didn't read this far. I don't want to talk about slavery again, but if Bill Cosby or DL Hughley want to antagonize, I say bring it on.
-I'm not sure who wrote this, but it was in the Peoria Journal Star, it could have been someone from afar or possibly Phil Luciano, (i am gaining some respect for Luciano). It is about the Foley scandal and the Repubs failure to do anything about it. I don't usually do this but this is particularly inquisitive. And, here it is...
"And now, however it happened-either because of a deliberate political decision or because the institution is so degraded that it couldn't stir itself to action, like an overstuffed aristocrat crippled by gout-we learn that the House has countenanced a congressman's sick advances toward teenagers. Well, they got the priests, now on to the politicians, just as fucking corrupt.
-allright, this is local, but i'll voice it here too. A politician has negative ads. Just like any other, because they all do. One BS puts an ad saying his opponent RS only cares about politics and not protecting children from sexual predators. Hours later, BS pulled the add, citing that he never intended the ad to go public.
I say, bullplop. Either you have no control over your campaign and you don't know how to run anything, or you can't control yourself and you are a lying sack of shit.
I hope you go to the dance and get dumped.
I thought when i got older i wouldn't hear, "I told you so." I was so wrong. Even adults say the phrase all the time. Maybe I just hear it all the time. Yeah, right.
I'd say grow up, but they are...

Hustings
Here's a twist: let candidates tell us about their politics. Mr. President do your job and be president. Let the sissy from your party from Missoura tell us what he'll do if elected. Furthermore, incumbents, let your record stand. If we like what you've done we should vote for you. Lies do not Fucking work; smear campaigns do not Fucking work. Stop saying that shit. I just want someone to be Fucking real. Sorry for so much F'n, but I am really tired of politicians standing on their soap box and spitting on us slack-jawed yokels. Debates are beneficial to us. With beneficial questions asked, that is.
today
the soda tax is as dumb as suing McDonalds for being fat.
Buying a Playstation 3 and selling it on E-bay right away is called scalping. This is illegal, right?
if you want to shield your kids from violent videos, tv, games, and such: don't let them watch the news...
stem cell research is the most important advancement in our lives today, and the U.S. gov't is fucking it up...

green fat asses
The trouble with parties is that you keep narrowing the ideology to a certain when nobody agrees on that certain. They just aint gonna, we haven't evolved that perfect yet. But, to not run because your party in in presidency shows us that we are partison in our politics,(no matter how well liked). FU McCain, I have rescinded your vote, and will now vote for anyone with coccyx.
The green party in Illinois has grown enough to be a party. They needed 5% points and got 10! I'm truly jealous. I convinced my brother that not voting for the 3rd party was okay because it is like your vote didn't count if you did. Well, he gone on and did vote for that there party and made a difference. I'm not going to tell you what I did, because I did nothing...
I'll tell you what though, I'm either voting for Jon Edwards or Barrak Obama for President in 2008. If neither run, I will not vote for the leader of my life, dictator... Politicians are taught in the art of side-step...

fisticuffs
I don't believe they should be able to try our soldiers in the prison scandals when it is so obvious that it was gov't or at least the brass' policy to get info out of these guys. They changed the handbook afterwards; that is an admission of guilt. It would make more sense to put Rumsfield on trial.
As for soldiers being tried for killing the very people that are killing them, this is a tricky one. It is natural for an American to question the motives and results of a person dying. This is why we brag about being a better society. I mean, we don't severe Islamist's heads, we don't murder ourselves while murdering others we don't know. But, in no way should we get away from murdering anyone, an Islamic life is = to a christian life. The folk that follow Bush blindly say that neahsayers should leave the country and that their words just help the enemy. Neahsayers are merely critiquing, which leaves the armed forces stronger; are we doing all we can. "Those that don't question what we're doing are just throwing their children into the bonfire." Doesn't that sound hypocritical.?

clean up
Clinton apoligized for his infedelity. Bush never apoligized for getting us into an unjust war murdering us and them.
Clinton passed NAFTA and people blamed him for losing American jobs. Bush passed CAFTA and silence.
When bad things happen to bad people, religionuts always have the comment, "God is telling you...". But when 4 are electrocuted at a Boy Scouts fair, and hundreds of scouts get heat sickness at the funeral, the religionuts don't say, "God is telling you...".
I think WTC's replacement should have been a huge middle finger.
America has too many problems and corruptions to cram it's ideaology down anyone's throat. And we aren't a true democracy. We are a republic, a representative democracy at best.
We are the only country to ever use a nuclear bomb on another country.
"You hear that?, (bullets buzzing), That's the sound of freedom ringing." yeah Fuck you, you haven't saved me from shit.
There is a right to privacy. Pot is illegal. So, i don't have the right to smoke pot in my own house. But, i can have an earache and get hyrocodone to soothe my pain and afterwards snort it to enjoy. I can also join the service and murder other humans because their government DIDN'T have WMDs. and the gov'r can eavesdrop on my phone.
One says, that if they legalized marijuana, we would abuse it.
One says, hey, if we legalize eavesdropping, one won't abuse it.
