Retired

After nearly two years, it is time to retire this blog. I may renew it later or just start a new one. This is the only reasonable next step. For the few who read, thanks. But.....

Before I go, here are a few things I want to discuss:

Brett Favre should stay retired.

Big vehicles with small men driving will always, and I do mean always, speed up when they are passed by a small car like a Mini Cooper or Mazda MX-5. Always!

American made sedans that are gold in color, join the previously discussed white cars as the cars that drive at or below the speed limit.

Barack Obama has a huge job to do and very little help from the Democratic Congress or the blow hard Republicans. He will be elected if some yahoo with a cache of guns doesn't figure out how to shoot him.

Sheriff Joe of Maricopa County should remain sheriff and keep rounding up illegal immigrants and sending them home. On that note - the U.S. government needs to reward the legal immigrants with a better system - more timely. This has a personal twist for me and I am stunned that this government, in 8 years, couldn't find a way to embrace a hard working, tax paying, flag waving immigrant and his high achieving family. Shameful.

Rush Limbaugh needs to be ignored. I am doing my part by having a blog that few read and by retiring it. If we all ignore him, he will go away.

The Republicans of smaller but fair government, smaller but fairer taxes, and the generous types need to come to power before the whole party ends up marginalized.

Tiger Woods is an incredible athlete - perfect combo of physical skills and incredible, incredible power of will. Amazing. Enjoy watching him while you can.

All for now......

The Nuts are Loose and Totally Unreasonable

About 6 weeks ago a guy named Thomas Patrick Destories shot and killed Doug Georgianni. What did Mr. G do to deserve this fate? He was manning a mobile photo radar truck in north Phoenix. Doing his job cost him his life. Mr. Destories hadn't even received a ticket, but apparently the whole system just made him mad.

Now, Scott Roeder, shot and killed Dr. George Tiller - in a Lutheran Church no less. Dr. Tiller's job cost him his life. Dr. T was an abortionist, and one that would do late term abortions. Never mind that this is a legal practice, if controversial. Since Mr. Roeder clearly wasn't aborted himself....... Okay I don't know where I was headed there.

Of course groups like Operation Rescue ran for cover to say they didn't condone such actions. Hmmm? The inflammatory rhetoric over many years can take a toll. What kind of amped up rhetoric does it take to get a supposed God fearing man to load a gun and shoot another man in a house of worship? Rush-like rhetoric?

These types of moral issues, just a few years ago were high on people's minds but now that George Bush got us on the road to financial destruction and socialism and Barack Obama has continued the movement, people are less worried about these moral matters. The check book nearly always trumps principles.

Both of these incidents point out how screwed up people are getting - Democracy, even our socialist version, is tough to handle some times. Some yahoos actually wrote in and said the photo radar guy deserved what he got. Some say the abortion doctor got what he deserved.

This sort of justice was doled out 100 years ago or more but has no place in today's society. Surely people can reasonably disagree without shooting one another - especially those just doing their job or providing a legal service which is obviously in demand.

And finally, guns don't kill people, deranged, holier-than-thou numb skulls with guns kill people.
