In the news...
Well, nothing to get me talking like news, politics, and world affairs. The name says it all, click below if you like politics and thinking but don't mind rants and Captain Obvious.
Iran is restarting uranium. They say energy. The whole world is concerned about nukes. Well, everyone knows that the energy part is BS, since they're being OFFERED technology in that regard and have simply refused it outright. Everyone's afraid of nukes, because if they get them, then WHEN they blast Israel (or any other neighbor they don't like) off the face of the planet, guess what's gonna happen worldwide. Three guesses. Like you even need a second. Why are people such idiots?
North Korea is being quite the whiney bitch to boot, also over nukes. U.S. imposes economic sanctions which NK can't hide are hurting. They whine about not coming back to the negotiation table until the sanctions drop...so they can stall all over again and get nowhere with no sanctions. Again, people...are...idiots.
That being not nearly all, Iraq is still a little bundle of fluffy lovey-dovey. Misguided and crazy people honestly think that suicide while murdering others will get them a free pass. And you have to be misguided or crazy to believe that, because the Quaran (and Torah, and Bible, and every holy book known to man) expressly forbids both. Sure, the Quaran has a few exceptions...but you have to be misguided or looney to believe they apply here. Hell, even OTHER terrorist groups are calling these guys out-of-line-nut-jobs. And these are the guys doing the same damn thing to Israel and other neighbors. Quite a statement. More proof of the idiocy.
On a note for the media: The Producers. Only even accepted in America, and here it's a barrel o' laughs in any form. But the moment it leaves our borders, people say "It's about Hitler" and either refuse to watch it, are appalled, and just plain in general don't get it. You'd think the people who hate Hitler so god-damn much could at LEAST have the sense to recognize when he's being bashed left and right. And up. And down. And the diagonals. You get the idea. Speaking of Hitler, why does everyone blame the Germans, including the Germans who just try to forget anything happened? World War II is the fault of the French and everyone in Europe who sanctioned the reprimand against Germany from World War I. I'm not saying they SHOULDN'T have reprimanded and demanded repayment from Germany. But only a moron fails to see that crippling a country's economy to the point where the people cannot even buy the seed to grow food is ASKING for war. Hitler wouldn't have had a pinkie toe to stand on if not for the desperation caused by Versailles. Do we blame the European idiots for doing this? No. We blame Hitler for being an insane but charismatic and effective leader. Wow. There's more bundles of idiocy than I can count. Reality check LONG overdue, anyone?
Speaking of Europe once more, there's the good ol face transplant. No, actually, I'm gonna leave that one be. I'm going to move back to America and our Supreme Court situation. Alito! Will he be another Sandra Day O'Connor? Doubts are pretty high. Will he basically be the reverse? Well, I don't think it's going to come to that...but the swing votes he WILL have can well change the face of America. Campaign spending. The limits of the Roe vs Wade and such matters of abortion as privacy, who has the rights to decide, special cases, registering the medical procedure and documentation... I really doubt with him there it'll get reversed, but you can bet there'll be a bit of rollback. Good or bad, I cannot say. You can bet your bippy that gay marriage will hit the fan too, and that recent state amendment in Ohio banning it is going to get looked at. The Court WILL decide on a federal level that states can or cannot individually ban it. And then the nation will make it's choice(s). Then, of course, there's political spending on state and national levels. State governments around the U.S. are raiding funds meant for things like highways, education, and medical issues to...spend. Pork barrel projects, non-issues, and personal expenses. Don't we feel special? But, of course, they have a precedental president. A presidential precedent, even. They have for quite a long time, as very few presidents in history HAVEN'T done exactly the same thing on a national scale. And, let's not forget, the many questions of law. I daresay that Bush is much like Nixon right now. Nixon sure as hell wasn't the first president/candidate to spy on the competition illegally. He just got caught doing it. You can bet anything you want, I'll give you million to one odds on that. I'll give you the same odds that President Bush is far from the first president to illegally wire-tap. The problem is that he's an idiot, did it on a predictable national scale, and when a single leak formed the whole thing got revealed to an already rights-sensitive nation.
History repeats itself. Constantly, I'm afraid. And why? It doesn't take a genius to figure out that it's NOT that people don't know their history. It's because they're too much on the idiotic dumbass scale to conceive they might get caught too. Alright, I'm done for the day, and I stand by the statement that the Individual is an intelligent being, but People are idiots.
