Local again

So this guy needs to get a clue. But he won't. He was leaving his job as a bouncer? Really? A three time DUI loser is a bouncer and he doesn't think that is a poor choice?

Uh oh, I said choice. Yup, he chose to drink and drive, the first one resulted in a death, that one never should be wiped clean, how can it be? I now have a plan, a drive, a goal. The first step is going to be research, keep an eye on this, there will be a law out of this, a law that if you injure or kill someone as a result of a DUI, you never lose that conviction and it can be used if you get another DUI at any time in your life.

Yeah, I am an ex-drinker, and thankfully I did not hurt anyone (physically with an automobile), but I could have, and it scares me to think about it.

Back out, global

For a post or two, if I can remember to write, I need to touch on what is going on in the world. Here is a link to Al Jazeera, normally I would be linking that site for either mocking or proof that many in the Middle East would like me dead (along with all non-believers). Today I link because Egypt is in flames, and it is not about to stop soon.

Following Tusnisia, and leading to Yemen, Jordan, and Algeria. Where next? Seriously, where next?

There are forces at work here that do not know what they are doing, and yes, I am pointing at you, 4Chan, Anonymous, and any other blogger or hacker that is egging this on from the safety of your mother's basement. Cut it out, you are getting people killed. You are re-tweeting death, you are about to bring to power the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, and who the heck knows what in Jordan. Stop, counsel calm...but, we all know it is too late now, the looters are out in force in some of the major cities in Egypt, the anarchists are screaming for blood, (even if they don't know it in their immature little minds), and real evil is going to win.

You hackers are directly responsible for these deaths and you all need to stop dropping into blogs, posting on Facebook, gloating about the next great movement that you are 'planning'. These are people, real live human beings you are killing, not some virtual dudes and duddettes in second life where you hang out.

This is not Call of Duty, it is not Dungeons and Dragons, this is REAL. Back off, many of you do not live there, many of you are only doing this to make yourselves feel a part of something...how does it feel to know you have killed?

No, I won't link those idiots mentioned above and I will not name the one name I know from that group, he enjoys this, he is a young, unseasoned, bad writer (and I know bad writing). He seems to think he has power, that this is a good thing, and in Tunisia, it sarted out as a good thing, until the anarchists took over and wouldn't let the protests end until the entire government was gone.

Too long, no one is going to read the whole thing.

Rhetoric

I am just plum tired of the accusation from the left that the rhetoric is over the top, that is has never been this bad, or, to quote a leftist, "but, it's worse now." No; it is not worse now. It is the same as it has always been, and will ever be. Don't believe me? Here is a quote:

And yet, however just these sentiments will be allowed to be, we have already sufficient indications that it will happen in this as in all former cases of great national discussion. A torrent of angry and malignant passions will be let loose. To judge from the conduct of the opposite parties, we shall be led to conclude that they will mutually hope to evince the justness of their opinions, and to increase the number of their converts by the loudness of their declamations and the bitterness of their invectives.

Yup, October 27, 1787, Federalist #1. This could be a news item from last week! Of course it wouldn't sound nearly as good today, the ability to write has left the political and journalist scene.

Grow up everybody, politics is ugly, it has always been ugly and will always be ugly. Maybe down here, in the real world, where we are held accountable for our speech and actions, we worry about it, but up there, in the rarified air where the ruling class lives, accountability is nil, gone, kaput.

appologies

It has been some time, and now those that came back are probably gone again. I get busy...oh, I get lazy is the truth. I hope my three readers had a great Christmas and wish all a happy new year...oh...and if you are my sister, happy birthday.
