Indianapolis' Finest?




I have watched these videos repeatedly.  As far as wether or not the Jets fan was tasered - I'm not so sure.  To be honest, I am a Jets fan so my judgment could be easily clouded... Indianapolis 


...I do, however, think that anytime an officer of the law starts an interaction with "What the fuck did you say to me?" followed with "You got a fuckin' problem?" there might be something a little less personal than the "Letter of the law" in the mix.  Maybe even - dare I say it - a douche-bag cop about to take out his frustrations on an opposing teams fan (who may also, admittedly, be a douche-bag).  The problem with that scenario is simple.  The fan is allowed, at his own risk, to be a douche-bag.  The officer is not...end of story!


Then again,  maybe it's just me.  Let me know what you think...

Quote Note Of The Day 01/14/2010

Image of Friedrich Nietzsche from Twitter
 “Love is a state in which a man sees things most decidedly as they are not” ~ Frierich Nietzsche

How true is this?  Love is nothing short of an alternate reality.  We don't see things that are there, and do see things that are not there.  That one emotion consumes and alters all others as on a pyre.  Love is - all at once - a most terribly beautiful, and utterly trans-formative bender of reality.  There exists no better drug in this world!

“The question isn't who is going to let me; it's who is going to stop me.” ~ Ayn Rand


Fucking A right!  If you are trying to accomplish something this should be your mantra.  If you are not trying to accomplish something than you are the one who can't stop whomever is moving forward with this quote buzzing in the back of their mind.  It is about as straight forward as one could possibly be without telling someone to go fuck themselves!

Quote Note Of The Day 01/11/2010

NietzscheImage via Wikipedia


“You have your way. I have my way. As for the right way, the correct way, and the only way, it does not exist.” ~ Friedrich Nietzsche


This is one of those rare quotes - for me anyway- that actually flirts with being a truism.  The 'only way' has been a concept I have railed against since I was old enough to know what a concept was.  It began, of course, with religion and, eventually, made its way into my political views.  The last election was rife with the notion that each side was in possession of the 'only way' to proceed.  Our country is in its current state because there are to many people out there that believe they are in possession of the 'only way'.  We are tearing each other apart, quite simply, because we cannot, or will not, agree to disagree!

Time To Testify

The world is BROKEN! 


There is not a single leader in the world today that is doing the right thing.  People thought Obama would be the savior of our ravaged hopes and dreams...HE IS NOT!


It is time for each and every one of us to stand up and be counted no matter what side of the proverbial fence we call home. 


IT IS TIME TO BURN THE FENCE TO THE GROUND!

Breitbart.tv » ‘Welcome to Obamaville’ Sign Marks Colorado Homeless Tent City

Breitbart.tv » ‘Welcome to Obamaville’ Sign Marks Colorado Homeless Tent City

There will be those who say that the sign should read "Welcome to Bushville". No doubt, some of the blame can be placed there. Everyone is missing the point though...there have always, and will always, be homeless people. That will be the case until currency--in every form--is altogether abolished.

Anyone want to take a guess as to when that will happen? Thought not.

So now to the point. In a world where EVERYONE is homeless who will take care of the homeless. Think I'm going overboard? Take notice of what our government is doing and try to envision there plan of action working in your own life. I don't know about you, but things are tight for me right now. Should I go and buy everything I feel I DESERVE? Will that increase or decrease my economic stability? Does raising my budget mean that I actually have more money to spend?

There are people in trouble in this world right now no doubt. The problem is there are about to be allot more unless we all stop looking for the things we feel we DESERVE from the government. Remember, if you are tired and weak and searching for a helping hand, that hand must be stronger than yours in order to help you up.

"Changed"

psychochange
"Changed"

Just a short poem about change...


Futility breeds stupidity,
And so grow the masses.
Throbbing, thrumming,
Screaming through death.
Pulsing with life,
And dreams lost.
The passionate
Embrace of hopelessness.
Wits-end dangles
It’s priceless prize.
Sorry my friend,
You’ll never be that free.
The puzzle taunts,
Ever changing.
Stealing faith
From those with none.
The final piece,
Burned in rage
By those who
Needed it most.
The music yearns
To be heard
By the past.
The beat falters,
Fails the chorus.
The song plays on,
The record skips,
And finally,
Even the soulless,
Nameless, faceless,
Background singers
Grow tired of the tune.

My Involvment In "Climate Gate"

That's right!

You heard it here first!

It was all me! Well, and you also. You helped you bastard!



"Climate Gate" is one of two things depending on which side of the political spectrum you happen to dwell.

To the right it is a rally cry. It is the very large, very hairy, fly in the liberal tea. They are loving it...no doubt about that.

To the left it is the perfect opportunity to flip the switch. It is there turn to aim the barrel and fire off the moniker of "Conspiracy theorist" at all of there nemesis across the aisle. Those dirty republicans must have set it up. "The emails this," "the scientists that".

Meanwhile, the real truth is obscured. The real truth is that you, and I, and all of the other people on this planet are getting fucked! That's right! Fucked!

Is global warming occuring? Yes! But it is not the only thing that is going on. While parts of the earth are growing increasingly, and abnormaly, warmer; other areas are recording record lows. Maybe we should stop focussing on who is right and who is wrong, and focus on the facts.

Here are the two facts that both sides need to digest. The right needs to drop the argument that humanity is not affecting the environment. Every organism, no matter how simple, that has ever dwelled on this planet has affected the environment. That is the way of things and it is a FACT. I don't care if every scientist on the planet stood up in unison tommorow at noon and, with one bellowing voice, declared that they had proven that humanity was not the cause of global warming! That still does not change the fact that it would be better for me, and my children, if we reduced the amount of shit that we spew into the air we breath.

That FACT also has affect on the argument from the left. Every organism, every species, since the dawn of time has "affected" the environment of the earth. Granted, some have affected it more than others. Some affects are laugable and some more dire as can be seen here in this report from ABC News.

That brings me to fact number two...the burden of the left is that the earth has been going through drastic changes since its formation. That is undeniable. That is FACT. So why would we forget about that now. Why would we discount it and put all our eggs in one basket so to speak. Humanity is but a link in the chain and to ignore that WILL have the same disasterous consequences as a cancer patient being treated for one type of cancer, but never screened for any others.

You see the two opposing sides are both feeding on the fears of the people they are sworn to protect. Make no mistake, it is all a power grab and nothing more.

And that brings me to the title of the post. I am to blame for the current mess we find ourselves, as are you. Too much time has been spent picking sides and calling names. Precious time has been lost because "we the people" did not have the courage to stand up to our leaders and demand common sense and civility.

Fuck the left, and fuck the right!

Fuck the tree huggers, and fuck the tree cutters!

Fuck everyone who has ever had enough combined ignorance and arogance to jump into a forum and say that they KNOW exactly what is going on with this planet. Your arrogance will not kill us all, but it will damn sure leave us with precious little time to seek alternatives. You can scream as loud as you want that our actions are not having an adverse affect. That is not valid and you are an idiot. You can rant all you need to about the poles shifting solely becuase I refuse to ride a bike to work. The stupidity of that train of thought is matched only by the idiocy of the previous example.

Get off of your high horses people and start taking responsibilty for the direction this new world leadership is taking us. Demand COMMON SENSE for your children's sake and stop allowing the smoke screens of "Climate Gate" and "Man Made Global Warming" and all of the other nifty little bumper sticker slogans that are bandied about these days to obscure the real facts that need to be dealt with.

Let the games begin...
