It Has To Be Said

Bill Hicks RIP

"You're getting really baffled here. Piece of shit! Now walk away. That's all it is, it's nothing more! Free yourself, folks. If you see it: 'Piece of shit!' Say it and walk away. You're right! You're right, not those fuckers who want to tell you how to think! You're fucking right!"

-Bill Hicks

Immortal Words of Bill Hicks

"The world is like a ride in an amusement park, and when you choose to go on it you think it's real because that's how powerful our minds are. The ride goes up and down, around and around, it has thrills and chills, and it's very brightly colored, and it's very loud, and it's fun for a while. Many people have been on the ride a long time, and they begin to wonder, "Hey, is this real, or is this ju...

st a ride?" And other people have remembered, and they come back to us and say, "Hey, don't worry; don't be afraid, ever, because this is just a ride." And we … kill those people. "Shut him up! I've got a lot invested in this ride, shut him up! Look at my furrows of worry, look at my big bank account, and my family. This has to be real." It's just a ride. But we always kill the good guys who try and tell us that, you ever notice that? And let the demons run amok … But it doesn't matter, because it's just a ride. And we can change it any time we want. It's only a choice. No effort, no work, no job, no savings of money. Just a simple choice, right now, between fear and love. The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your doors, buy guns, close yourself off. The eyes of love instead see all of us as one. Here's what we can do to change the world, right now, to a better ride. Take all that money we spend on weapons and defenses each year and instead spend it feeding and clothing and educating the poor of the world, which it would pay for many times over, not one human being excluded, and we could explore space, together, both inner and outer, forever, in peace."

 

Bill would be 51 today. RIP dude!

Hiatus Again

Obama won, yay!  I'm going to take a break from politics and maybe a permanent break from this blog.  If I do post something, it will probably be something about Bill Hicks.  To be honest, I hate politics, I just want the good people to win.  If getting involved in politics gets the good people elected, then it's a necessary evil.  I'm not going to pour on Romney and Republicans, I've already done that enough.  I need some time for self-improvement and maybe I will be back to work on the St. Petersburg election.  Bye!

Not Much Posting

Haven't been posting a lot lately. Can I tell a secret? I'm sick of politics. I really am. But I can't just make politics go away while conservatives try to destroy the world. I follow politics because I want the good people to win and the bad people to lose. But I think politics are also bad for me and they have gotten in the way of my life and happiness. So here's the deal: when Obama gets reelected this November and it's fair to say that will happen, I'm taking half a year off from following politics. I will resume a healthy interest in politics when the mayoral race in St. Petersburg starts next year. Like I said, I'm currently sick of politics, I don't think I've had a break since I was 16 and Bush stole the 2000 election, so I've been into politics for 12 years now. I need a break.

Joe the Plumber=Psychopath

Yes, this idiot is still making news:

Samuel "Joe the Plumber" Wurzelbacher is not politically correct and he's proud of it. And to prove it, the Ohio Republican congressional candidate told a crowd of about 125 supporters in Arizona that the government should "put a damn fence on the border going with Mexico and start shooting."

If "not politically correct" you mean "fucking psychopath", then yes. I have become sick of people using the terms "politically correct" or "politically incorrect." People are not politically incorrect, they are offensive, racist, insensitive, etc. And no, calling Joe a psychopath is not itself offensive, he really is one! Saying "build a wall and start shooting" is about as psychopathic as you can get. And in regards to the recent shootings in Colorado, Wisconsin, and Texas, is probably something you shouldn't say. This dude is just some crazy asshole who got too much attention and now thinks he can go into politics, let's marginalize these people like Joe...these psychopathic people.

Shameful

More victims of gun crimes are added to that wall every day and asshole gun nuts just add insult to injury with their lies and propaganda. Shameful. It's time for more gun control.
