I got a couple of bones to pick with anyone willing to stand still long enough.
First off, If you butt heads are really worrying about meteors and nuclear bombs ending the world, you need one to hit you in your panties. Yesterday there was a bunch of hoopla about a new cancer drug that on average will extend the life of prostate cancer sufferers (most of which are over the age of 70-on medicare) an additional 4 months. A dose costs thousands, the research for it-paid by higher healthcare costs, taxation and donations not going elsewhere, is in the millions. HOW MANY SCHOOLS COULD WE HAVE BUILT, HOW MANY MEALS COULD WE HAVE PROVIDED, HOW FAR COULD WE HAVE ADVANCED ENERGY RESEARCH, COULD WE HAVE DONE MORE ABROAD TO FOSTER WORLD PEACE?
People, get over the fear of death, embrace your religious or “all-natural” agnostic beliefs and stop the insanity. We are not broken, we are as we are by design. We live, we laugh, we love, we die–and if we don’t the race will perish one day. Its time to stop cancer, heart and kidney research and redirect the energy and resources into the betterment of mankind. Lets celebrate life and be happy with an expectancy of 70 years. We should strive and be proud to do our part to make the world a better place and then move on. Read some scripture or philosophy but open your eyes. It’s not about us, it’s about the human race.

Ok, now for something a little lighter.
“The Tea Party is Seriously misguided.”
Really?
Paul Revere, Hamilton, the constitution–are these misguided too?
I’m getting pretty full of people explaining away the method and products of Washington DC. America was founded with many of the beliefs of those in the Tea Party. Keep government out of our pockets and protect our right to commerce and the boarders. We are supposed to be a land of opportunity, for education, and healthcare, and homes, and jobs…The land of handouts and mediocrity–that was some place else. If you must provide it all, you must necessarily control it all and that is not freedom. We were guaranteed the freedom to succeed, or fail on our own merit.
These are some of the founding ideals of The United States of America. We also have the freedom to change however and if changing to become who we once despised, promoting the idea that we can bring equality to the individual with disregard for the whole, is the voice of the people now–then we need a constitutional convention, a new name, a new seal and new colors. But ya better dig out your redcoats and muskets cause it aint gonna be pretty.
