The People don't matter

House ignores the will of the people, passes cybersecurity bill after ignoring everything else Americans want and stand for when it comes to freedom from tyranny.

What speeding will get you

Let's talk about speed. When you're driving down that lonesome highway and no other cars are on the road what does it matter how fast you go? The only thing you need to worry about is how big the animal is that wants to occupy the same part of the road you are on at the same time; moose , elk, bear, and pig or horse and cow come to mind. I've seen or heard of all of them and the damage they have caused. It has been cosmetic to the car you drive or bodily injury and death; I know a guy who hit a horse and he's lucky to be alive. Other than that speed is innocuous. I know they say speed kills but that's only if you hit something while doing it. If you don't no problem, don't run off the asphalt, no problem. So you're driving down the road and there is no body else but you and the cop with nothing better to do than sit in a blind and ambush you on a deserted highway except for the moving hazards of the animals and you get pulled over for speeding. What do you do? Be polite first and do whatever the officer asks. Turning on your inside lights if it's dark out and keeping your hands on the steering wheel until you're asked to do otherwise goes a long way. Offer him everything he asks for while remaining calm is another plus for you. If he doesn't tell you why you are now having this conversation you should politely ask, "Sir can you tell me why you stopped me?". Now is the time to pay particular attention. If he is polite and tells you what he thinks you did you may have some hope. If he explains you are even better if you can come up with an explanation he has never heard. If he says I'll be right back no explanation will suffice; you are getting a ticket or warning the latter being preferable. Remain calm and polite regardless of how you feel because you are likely to feel screwed and you may well be. Take it to court if you feel that way but don't argue it on the street. You will only get more scrutiny. Even if you're right you're wrong according to the Officer. Keep this in mind if you find yourself in this situation. This is their bread and butter now that finances are all messed up and I suspect it will get worse. The supervisors are demanding statistics and you will be one of them. It's nothing personal just business like with the mob, gangs, and organized crime it's all the same. Sorry I don't have a sure fire get out but I don't think one exists. Don't even know why I bothered to spend the time to write about it really; it's just a suggestion on how things seem to be going. Don't drive without a license even if you think it is a right and not a privilege because no cops think that that are still employed or maybe there are some but they won't act like it. Make sure you have insurance and proper registration. If you don't you are a mark and you will be prosecuted without mercy. This started out about speed but any other violation of traffic laws will end up in the same way. Be careful, be respectful of everyone and avoid trouble. You can now be held for no reason at all by the military at least; let's hope our local law enforcement doesn't subscribe to the same standards. What ever happened to peace officers?

Fun with Physics

(hăd'rŏn') pronunciation n. Any of a class of subatomic particles that are composed of quarks and take part in the strong interaction. [Greek hadros, thick + -ON1.] hadronic had·ron'ic adj. Read more: http://www.answers.com/topic/hadron#ixzz1rqWdLVc6 And here too. It just occurred to me that along with quarks come quirks. I'll spell it out. An anagram for hadron is hardon or hard on. That can't be an accident; physicists are fucking comedians too. They are shooting hadrons at each other or into each other all over the place. They talk about the birth of the universe as a big bang. My too literal mind only now picked this up. They hid it from me in plain sight, very clever. They talk about quarks as up or down, strange, anti-quarks, pions,pee on, pie on, mesons, mess on, baryons, bury one, antipions, anti pie, so on and so forth. I can see them saying, "I got your large hadron collider right here", as they grab their crotch. They say they can make black holes too; now that's deep stuff. Do they rib each other like school boys? Kiss my hadron you quark. Enough pleeease.

Why Comply?

Considering that we are born into circumstances that we had no hand in creating or fashioning in any manner what other than threat of force obliges us to buy into the paradigm? Nothing is the answer I propose. We are acculturated, socialized, "educated" to be minions of those who have achieved power before we arrived. We are literally hazed into acquiescence to the standards that precede us in whatever culture or society we arrive. That is that and it has been so from who knows when. The thing is now that we were done that way today's milieu is changing the game rules on us. Being brought up to be frugal and save my pennies and be responsible and law abiding it is those who do not do so that prosper most. Even though a few old school types do proper it is the scofflaws that are now making out the best. Congress passes laws that are obviously Un-Constitutional with no remorse. SCOTUS doesn't knock them down and decides we can be strip searched for a civil infraction that is not even a misdemeanor. WTF is going on? That's not even the half of our going to hell in a hand basket. We can be "detained" indefinitely without charge no lawyer and no trial for no reason other than disagreeing with what's going on or any policy or stance our so called government takes. Even writing what I'm writing here may be enough to get me done in by the powers who think they can assassinate American Citizens on their whim because they know best. I was in the US Army for four years, '82-86, I was a Deputy Sheriff from '88-09 and in all those years I swore to uphold the Constitution of the United States and defend it. All those others mentioned earlier did the same but they aren't doing it. I am by saying this now. Be careful here; any law that is Un-Constitutional is no law; it is tyranny. That doesn't mean it won't get you killed for not complying. There must be some line that cannot be crossed. Where will we take our stand. Stand and deliver, strike a pose, assume a posture, make every stand like it's your last, stand fast, and alone if necessary. Do not forsake descencsy or what you believe is moral and just because the so called "leaders" of the nation have done so for their own ends. Hope not to see you in the American Gulag; if I do that would mean I have failed miserably. But we'll go on from there until they kill us all and for what we stand.

The Wind Blows

The Winds blow. And so do a bunch of other motherfuckers. You know who they are and I don't even have to name them. It's so obvious that they know it too and don't care because they are handsomely paid to misinform, misappropriate, mislead, mismanage, misrepresent, mislay, mishandle, misguide, and misgovern. OK, the last word of that sentence gives it all away as to who they are and that can't be misinterpreted. Or am I mistaken? Do I miscast or misconstrue the true miscreant who does more mischief than good with their misdeeds? Me thinks not because the miserable misfits misdeal with us daily and cover their misconduct misanthropically. These are not misdemeanors but felony misdoings. What misconceived mischievous mishmash will turn into a misprision of justice next? I don't think I've mismatched or misread or misstated the villain here. No misunderstanding was the mission of this missive.
