I saw a person with a white supremacy themed t-shirt, eating lunch a a local deli today. Clearly this person is a sociopath with no regard for anyone or anything other than his own grossly ignorant opinion. I was literally stunned by the utter stupidity and I got me to thinking and I want to know, What is the point? Is the point to show people that you are a bigot? To show off your complete ignorance? To provoke a negative response? To demonstrate your intolerance? To make everyone around you completely uncomfortable? Or are you just showcasing your mental defectiveness? What is the point?
Granted there are many people that piss me off, some of them on a daily basis. The reasons that they piss me off vary, but not none of those reasons have anything to do with the color of their skin, country of origin, or any other such thing. The main reason for the piss off, generally stems from a complete and utter lack of respect for and/or knowledge of this country and its founding principles, but that's a topic for another day. Take care of and mind your own business. Treat people with the same amount of respect that you yourself want to be treated. Don't ask me to pay for your life choices. Stand on your own two feet and be responsible for yourself. How hard can it be? Don't make bad choices in life, then blame a person or group for the bad choices you made.
So, I ask again. What is the point? With tensions very high right now in America, what is the point? What purpose does it serve? Does hatred create a single job? Lower the price of gasoline? Pay your electric bill? Reduce the deficit? Decrease the tax burden on future generations? Has hatred of any kind ever accomplished anything other than destruction and chaos? What's the point?!?

KONY2012?!? What about USA2012?!?
I want to start off by stating that I am in no way trying to undermine the effectiveness or the legitimacy of the video about saving children in Africa. Having said that, I personally am much more concerned with the futures of the children right here in the United States of America and that we as citizens of the United States have a duty to stay focused and aware of the events unfolding this year in our own country.
I believe that the United States is at a crossroads. And at that crossroad one path leads to a United States of America that is prosperous and free and the other path leads to a United States that is unlike one we have ever seen. Down one path the United States will continue to be a beacon of freedom to the rest of the world, and continue to be a guiding example of freedom, prosperity, and generosity. Where the children of these United States can have the hope and the understanding, that with hard work, determination, and a willingness to seize the opportunities of this great country, that they can achieve greatness. Down the other path The United States becomes another example of what happens when government is left unchecked by its citizens. A nation that will be a mere shadow of its former glory. A nation that will follow in the steps of the likes of Greece and Spain. A nation where the takers of the nation outnumber the earners. A nation where the "RIGHTS" of the people are outweighed and trampled by the governments ability to take, at gunpoint, from one group of citizens and to give to another group of citizens, in the name of "fairness".
So I ask you to think about it like this. I was once told by a preacher, "You get yourself right with the Lord before you go off worrying about everybody else in his house." I think that is excellent advise. We as a nation need to get our house in order before we go off worrying about what our neighbors are doing and we need to get our house in order before its too late. Once we get our house in order and our futures and our children's futures are no longer in danger, then by all means, feel free to to worry and fret about the hundreds if not thousands of Konys out there and to send money to help make posters and like status updates with videos about said bad guys. But until we get our "house" in order, pay attention to the freedoms we are losing. Pay attention to our liberties that are being lost. Pay attention to the pursuit of happiness that is getting harder to pursue. Pay attention to what you are being asked to give up and at what cost. Pay attention to what is happening to our children's futures. Pay attention. Listen. Ask questions. Pay attention.

The Atwoods Incident!
I went to Atwoods to purchase some Co-flex wrap and while waiting in line to check out, this older man got in line behind me and was talking extremely loud into his cell phone. I finally got to check out and while doing so the lady waiting on me was growing increasingly concerned with the loud talking cell phone man, who was becoming more and more agitated by the minute. As the cashier lady was checking me out, the loud cell phone talker abruptly and angrily ended his conversation and hung up. I, as well as the the cashier, was relieved that ole' cell phone shouter was done with his inappropriate conversation. And then it happened. It got even more uncomfortable for us all in the check out area of the Atwoods, because the cell phone shouter cut off the biggest, loudest, longest, grossest, old man fart I have ever had the unpleasant pleasure to be witness to in my life, to date. Yikes. But after a moment of very long and very uncomfortable silence, old windy pants, said, "excuse me." So that made it all better.
The cashier never missed a beat. She counted my change back to me, sacked up my purchase, gave me my receipt, and thanked me for my business with a stone cold sober face that I'm very sure I could not muster if my life depended on it.
