Presidential Platform Continued


I recently have decided that I am going change things. I'm sick of waiting for girls to ask me out or of waiting to get my own reality dating show, so I am going to do them the favor of asking them out. And if they say they are 21, I know they are at least 18.

Ok. Back to my presidential platform. I believe I left out my economic and environmental platforms. The important stuff. I was probably procrastinating because I don't really have one. If I did, I would probably look into running for state governor. Maybe I would move to Nevada, or another smaller, relatively unpopulated state where it would be easier to become the governor. Because being governor is a much better experience on which to run for president than being a senator.

A common misconception some, complete morons, have is they think free markets always work. Secondly some even dumber than morons, think the U.S. economy is based simply on the free market. Free markets are great. they do work, when certain things are in place. All costs are accounted for...Free markets don't take into account environmental costs. With just a little adjusting, they could and can.

Another thing that helps free markets is when big corporations aren't subsidized and protective tariffs aren't enforced.

Come on. There is a reason this stuff isn't talked about. Here's what I would really say about my economic and environmental policy.

We need to start making the world a better place, for us, humans, plants and animals. So my presidential environmental economic platform, would be encourage science and business in this regard. Repairing the world. Making the world a cleaner, healthier place to live. Starting with a Americorps program and expanding... Economic incentives for green friendly businesses.

Trying to repair ecosystems, finding and using green technologies and more importantly exporting them around the world. Finding a way to keep our renewable resources renewable.

It's a good thing that people are doing so much. but I would treat this project as more like a war, as in we need to sacrifice to get this shit done.

Wish me luck! 2036 hear my roar!

The Choking Game


To all family and relatives, because I am 32 and single, with no near prospects of not being single and no game (as in no chance of meeting a girl at a bar), I want you to ensure that all your children, make it to adulthood. So at least some of the genes that we share get passed on. G-d-willing that your children will lead long and healthy lives. Tell your children not to play the Choking Game. Let them smoke some dope, raid the liquor cabinet, have sex without protection, but tell them that this game is off-limits.

The article linked to below explains exactly what is the choking game if you don't remember playing it yourself... I found while looking for and finding the article Jan. 31 that El Capitan claimed did not exist.

Police Act in Totally Normal Manner


Cops in Florida were suspended for dumping a QUADRAPLEGIC out of his wheel chair. Wow. I am assuming that is a new low. It is surprising just how blatant and indefensible their actions are, yet they did it in front of their own video camera. Stupidity + arrogance, it's a winning combination. And they aren't being charged with assault, just being suspended. It's not like the guy is some terribl criminal either - he was brought in a for a traffic violation. So, to recap, two things wrong with Florida:
1) Asshole cops
2) Let people without the use of their arms or legs operate vehicles

Nerds vs. Scientology



Just so everyone knows, this group of internet hackers known as anonymous have decided to wage war against the International Church of the Scientology. I think it is interesting, it is not only on the world wide web but they get people out on the street. A friend of mine went to a protest last night. The protests happened all across the US. They have also shut down the Scientology web site several times and made some of their web sites disappear completely. I would not fuck with these nerds.

My Presidential Platform-Part 1


This whole primary politics thing has gotten me really confused. Most of the Republicans change their position on something, from Mitt Romney, switching from Pro-Choice as Massachusetts governor to Pro-Life and John McCain moving towards the right. So are these permanent changes, or when the general election comes will the candidates move back to the middle. I'm confused. Is this just talk? or is this written in stone or at least on paper?

For one thing, McCain says I'm for small government and for balancing the budget like Reagan Reagan didn't balance the budget, ever, and because the military is part of the government, he wasn't really for small government either. So McCain, are you for what Reagan said or what he did? and can I get that on paper? with a signature? by the way McCain seems like a good guy... I mean that, I don't think he'll be a bad president, he doesn't seem to have any unresolved, child, helpless, sadness issues, like our current commander in chief. ask me to explain and expound on my psychoanalysis of our current president if it interest you.

Now to what you are waiting for: If I'm going to have a reality show looking for a first lady... I need to have a presidential platform and to make it easier on all the simpletons out there, like myself, I'm going to tell you right now at age 31, where I stand on the issues in writing. It will be interesting to see if I am a man of my word, when, 30 years from now, I take the oval office.

Capital Punishment: Opposed. Quite simply the argument for capital punishment is: it's a deterrent to murderers. Really it's about revenge. Because I think there are things worse than death and I think some murderers would rather get rid of a person and die, than live and have the other person live too, I don't think it is as good a deterent as some people think. Life is sacred, a miracle even if you aren't religious and aren't a moron, and the government shouldn't kill people. Exceptions might be psychopaths, with no redeeming social value. But I'm willing not to kill psychopaths, in order to be consistently against capital punishment. What do I wish for my worst enemies? Well, first I hope they get herpes. Secondly, a chronic sprained ankle. Third, no friends. Fourth, they must have the tv on at all times, forced to watch the absolute worst program on at that time period, lots of daytime tv, and they can't flip the channel during the commercials. Make them watch a lot of the thirty-minute-paid-programming stuff. Finally, take them to an Indian casino, don't let them leave until they are broke.

Abortion: Pro-Choice. I think this is a bigger issue than just Roe v. Wade. Also, I'm against abstinence (and of course) and abstienence-only education. I think they are related. I think junior high students should be handed condoms at school. They would have to go pick them up, with no people in front of the pile of condoms, but a hidden camara. Only the school nurse could know who picked up the condoms, she could of course post this web cam on the internet, to raise money to pay for the condoms. Students should be discouraged from having sex until they reach 18 years of age. Girls should be reminded that they have a bright future ahead of them, if they don't get pregnant. We should do everything in our power to make that preceding sentence true. Lots of teen parents don't think they have a future and decide that the best thing to do is have a child now, with their parents to help support it (this is supported by psychological study, basically teen pregnancies aren't accidents, statistically speaking. of course, some are). Girls with future, probably A: aren't having sex or B: are using protection. Adoption should be an option, but if the woman wants to have an abortion (an extremely emotionally painful event), because she was knocked up by a pastor, priest or raped. She can have one. She has a choice.

More of my platform to follow, including my economic and environmental policies.
