Stupid Shaming Needs To End When did being ‘stupid‘ become a sin? It sure seems to me that it must of been a long, long time ago, because people have been abusing, oppressing, exploiting and blaming stupid people for a very long time. Oh sure, there’s laws like ‘fraud’ and such to protect them, but let’s be honest, stupid people …
The Great Disconnect From Humanity There’s an old expression that says, “United We Stand, Divided We Fall”, and it’s sure enough true. And it would seem both governments and big business want us divided, for they’ve engineered a great many methods to effect The Great Disconnect. For instance: • Government services discourage personal interaction by asking people to call or …
I wish that folks in politics understood the ‘painter principle’. You see, painters possess knowledge that common folks (and those they choose to lead them) just don’t seem to have. It’s a principle that was hard learned and well earned. Sounds Simple Enough The first part of the painter principle works like this: Start at the farthest point in a …
Illogical And Insane Sitting here pondering on things, it occurred to me that one of the greatest problems humanity has is its illogical and insane obsession to ‘play nice’. You see, there’s a whole heap of difference between ‘playing nice’ and ‘being respectful’. Both start out being right similar in intent, which is to encourage both children and adults to …
I recall a time of crackling fireplaces and radios, folks in real close quarters, eating meals at tables, familial pecking orders and unconditional cooperation. It was a time when the fragrant flowers on the table came from just outside the door, and the fruit piled high in baskets came from trees in the back yard. It was a time when …
In my investigation of imbecilic pet owners, I discovered there are primarily two types of ‘problem’ dog owners. There’s the dirt poor, and then there's the well off. Both share a sense of entitlement, and both have a propensity to be...
The Corporatization Of Marijuana The corporatization of marijuana (falsely stated to be the ‘legalization’) was initially a huge boon to ‘friends’ of the government (aka: insider traders) who handed their bribers and buddies an entire industry on a silver platter, promising police protection of their markets. But, the heavy-handedness of forcing Canadians to only buy from government sanctioned inside traders …
Moron! What The Hell Is Wrong With You? There’s a question that we ask far too often, and one we ask of far too many people. It is, “What the hell’s wrong with you?” Personally, I want to slap somebody when I hear them say it. Myself included. You see, it’s a presumptuous statement that implies the perfection of one, …
Hardest To Provide Care For Now, I ain’t naming names, but I got to say that I reckon the hardest folks in the world to provide care for are caregivers. They give and give to others and yet seem to feel bad if they have needs of their own. They lie something terrible, with their biggest lie being, “I’m okay.” …
Don’t Watch The News I use to watch a lot of news. I don’t anymore for two reasons and both of them are Crazy Lady. You see, I’m that pissed off person you see yelling silently in their car at drivers up ahead, the tyrant throwing a tantrum that no one outside the car can hear. But, worst of all, …
Surprise, I’m Gay! I sure do get right riled up when people misuse the term ‘gay’. Folks say things like “gay rights”, “they’re a gay couple”, “living a gay lifestyle”, or “had a gay marriage.” Now, before anyone gets to thinking I’m all ‘homophobic’ because of my dislike of the term’s use, I state categorically that ‘gay’ ain’t got nothing …
Will’s Thoughts – When I look At The Childhoods That Kids Have Today… When I look at the childhoods that kids have today, I fear for our future. I’m not saying that our childhoods were picture perfect, they were just a whole lot different. We were not bombarded by a digital world, offering a dizzying array of choices, it was …
The World’s Toughest Paper Plate Now I ain’t one to normally endorse products, but through sheer accident I stumbled across a paper plate so darn impressive that I felt compelled to shout about it to the world. And the time of year just happens to coincide nicely. It’s a type of product so mundane and so non-descript that regardless of …
Roles Were Clearly Divided Few notice the shifts that take place in society like us old folks. Back when we was young, the cost of living was low, boys took ‘shop’ in school and girls took ‘home economics’. After they got out of school, adult roles were right clearly divided, with males leaving the home every day to be the …
Political And Social Correctness Are Real Threats To Free Speech Excuse me? After working in the field of community social services for over 35 years, I can honestly say that the level of ‘sensitivity’ for people’s issues has come a long way. In fact, it is my opinion that political and social correctness has now surpassed its purpose, and has …
