Where is the love

Where is the love that I hear about so often.  People claim to love their fellow man, they claim to love nature and their pets, they love everything, but they have a strange way of showing their love.  Its like an abusive relationship.

Back to Israel..

As the conflict rages on in Gaza and Israel, there has been a standard attempted at propaganda on both sides.  Critics of the conflict, which everyone should have some issues with it, those against Israel point out that Israel is a vastly superior military power, and the lopsided deaths in the conflict.  Critics of Palestine are pointing out some other issues, and it is here that I side with Israel. 

Israel and Palistine

I try to stay off this topic.  I have a few that I avoid like the plague, but at this point, its starting to piss me off.  The hypocrisy of views, the outright demonisation, and the general attitude of many people just puts me off.  There are no innocent sides in this argument, and I try to point out the nature of the conflict, but it goes largely ignored.

Corporate Personhood

Right now we have many issues, and corporate personhood is one of them.  I personally do not like corporate personhood.  I think its BS of the highest order. 

Wal-Mart..

Ah, good ole Wal-Mart to the rescue.  Cheap prices, crappy service, and for the worlds largest company, pretty damn sensitive to critical opinions.  So, I think it is safe to say that we have all heard the rumors.  Unjust terminations, Wal-Mart closing a store after it unionized, low pay, and jacking employees around on their pay.

Make it stop...

I had started a post about the Israeli/Palestinian conflict that is about to erupt into a major war.  But after spending most of last night arguing with a libertarian, and seeing more of their antics I just can't do it.  I don't want to talk about it, because that is an ocean away.  Funny, that Jewish people and those from Palestine get along well here in the US, isn't it?

Rollin Coal.

So what is Rollin Coal?  According to Urban Dictionary, Rollin Coal is... Well you should probably read it for yourself, it is pretty comical. Despite what people are saying this has been happening for several decades.  Its just getting attention now, and it does need to stop.

Just...

I know, I know, I am not keeping up with writing for this blog, really I haven't been keeping up with much of anything recently.  My knee is finally starting to heal up, everything usually does, a perk of being middle aged.  You are a little wiser, you are still mostly bullet proof, and well that is the perk.  I have seen many pricks these last few weeks, and rather than my normal good humor rants, I was pretty angry with them. 

The working poor.

I am trying to get back into the swing of things, I am mending up nicely, working on a few odds and end things, trying to get money up for the poor stray cat that I fished out of the cesspool this past winter.  Some prick actually had the nerve to shoot him with an air rifle.  If you are going to do something like that, be kind, make sure the animal doesn't suffer.
