I can’t believe that people want to have their own kids these days. A “scientific” study just came out that adoptive parents are better than biological ones. Why waste your time now? How ridiculous! Well, that is a downer on all of you that have your own biological mom and dad…you may want to rethink about getting new parents.

You may have heard from the news media outlets that a person has passed away in the most recent days. If you haven't heard of this then you must not live on this planet. I would hope with more important things in the world that we would have better things to report on than this Hollywood starlet that has not done anything for us. We have American troops in Iraq everyday that are dying...do they get the same treatment in the media? There are already tributes out for this person.
This is what I was talking about regarding watering down our youth. The media is portraying her as somebody so important that her death is on every channel. This is then what our youth aspire and look up to. I'm sure that some of young girls out there view her as an idol. I'm sure we want out young girls to aspire to become a trailer-trash, turned stripper, turn prostitute, turn playbody centerfold, turn crazy and high women. Who are your idols?
Yesterday I went shopping to pick up some gumbo to make for dinner. I went to the self-check out line, you know the ones that you have to press buttons and follow directions, well there was a man there that did not know how to use the self-checkout station. He stood there pressing the button to allow him to start scanning and the screen would not advance so that he could scan his products for purchase. He tried numerous times over the course of 2 minutes, however he could not get that button to move him to the next screen...he glanced over to the check-out guy in anger, he almost shouted out something to the check-out guy but in a second thought he decided to give it another go. He stood there pathetically trying to scan items when the scanner was not activated, he shuffled his feet, and his face got red. Finally, after about 5 minutes he had mustered enough strength to ask for the check-out guy for help.
When did we, as Americans, stand around and get angry for our own ignorance? Do we just think that information should just be handed to us or somebody should know that we are having a hard time? At the first hit of our own ignorance do we get angry or should we gain the information needed to accomplish the job? Why are we settling to be a class of citizens that at any sign of vulnerability we get angry or put our tails between our legs? Don't get me wrong I have compassion for my fellow man...but it only fuels the fire to those nay-sayers about America not being the greatest nation and superpower in the next decade. Are we breeding our citizens for doom?
I’m pretty sick and tired of how the media portrays the Boy Scouts as an organization that cannot pick and choose its members. There is a question if they are public or private…well, I can tell you first hand that they are a private organization. I always wanted to join the Boy Scouts as their morality and teachings for young boys was something to be admired. However, I could not get into the Boy Scouts because my family could not afford the membership. In what manner does the Boy Scouts appear to be public? Is it because there there are membership fees? Perhaps it is because it has some religious foundations? Of course these are not reasons why it is public but reasons why it is a private organization. Perhaps the liberals don’t like the honesty, integrity, and honor that the Boy Scouts uphold and tries to infiltrate the organization with it sexual deviants and atheists.
Forcing the BSA to accept homosexual members would be like requiring the NAACP to accept a Klansman into their group.

U2 lead singer Bono launches Edun, a socially conscious fashion brand - This will not work out. If you have read the article: Enlightened Altruism you will find that this will fail.

I'm stance on the Schiavo's case is that people have the RIGHT to die. I would not want to be in a vegatative state and cause a burden on my wife nor exhaust our resources to keep me alive. HOWEVER!!!! There is no written documentation about her desire to die if left in a vegetative state. I'm questioning the motives of the husband. Although I believe it is a person's choice to die or not. It is not Congress' role to butt into this case.

Blogging these days are a common thing. There are millions of bloggers and so much webspace that people can blog all day long. Although the internet allows free discussion blogging can get risky if you start blogging about your job or family and people start to catch on, heads can start to roll. Trying to remain anonymous is tough these days. Just check out this measure for new Driver's Licenses. Sounds like a National ID card to me. Watch your back...the government is infringing on our rights daily and soon we'll have to carry these National ID cards everywhere we go. They will gradually phase in the National ID card without your knowledge
Donald Rumsfeld denies funds to a Seattle College because they did not protect military recruiters after students formed a lynch mob and chased after the recruiters. I say, cause and effect, because the college did not aid the recruiters on campus to find actual students that may decide to join the military then they do not deserve the money.

Do you think smacking children is right? I believe that there needs to be some type of corporal punishment because for some kids that is what they can only respond to. I'm not talking about beating a kid to a pulp...but disciplining a child. There is a difference! Anyway, where is government's role to regulate this issue anyway?

The crying babies of Politics, the Democrats, are still sore losers when it comes to the presidential election.

France again is touting a Global Tax to help the relief effort after a devastating tsunami hit Asia decimating resources and killing upwards of 150,000 lives. What this shows us is the difference between the French people and the American people. Before I go into this discussion we have to venture if it is appropriate for government donations to aid other countries. Government represents citizens and levies taxes to provide services for the nation. To use this money for foreign aid is making a blanket statement that the American people ALL want to contribute (Not that we don't). What happened to private citizens donating their money or private companies providing relief effort to the region?
This comes to the diference between the French people and American people, in France the government has to coerce people to make "donation" by instituting a tax. By doing this is saying that the French people are incompassionate and are unwilling to help others in need. On the other hand, America's citizens have raised more than $350 million and will continue to raise additional funds as they are needed. American are compassinate and willing to donate money when people are in need, no matter where in the world.

The ACLU is attacking the Pledge of Allegiance in Virgina so that students are allowed to sit throughout the pledge. This is absolutely ridiculous.

In addition, the ACLU now claims that lethal injection causes excruciating pain or rather the fear of excrutiating pain. How much less painful can we make the dealth penalty? I think we need more public executions and bring back the guillotine.

Barbra Streisand again crosses the line between entertainer and political activist accusing Condoleezza Rice of blind faith to the President. She mentions that the terrorist "chatter" got louder and louder and President Bush did not do anything about the 9-11 attacks. What is funny and continues to baffle me is the blind faith that the Hollywood elite put into President Clinton. The Sudanese were willing to give up Bin Laden yet he declined. What happen to the intelligence failure there? Why didn't Barbra write a memo about that? Why did President Clinton get a pass on this type of criticism from Hollywood? On another note, when I spell check this blog and it came across "Barbra" a suggestion was "Barbarian." How true...

Are you happy about where your tax money is going? Every paycheck the American Government forces you to pay taxes to fund programs and social welfare programs. Did you ever think it would fund:
* $25,000 to study mariachi music in the schools of Las Vegas.
* $100,000 to fund a "weather museum" in Punxsutawney, Pa., home of the hokey Groundhog Day star, Punxsutawney Phil.
* $2 million to buy back the onetime presidential yacht Sequoia, sold off 27 years ago as a long-overdue economy move.
