      <description>&lt;br&gt;Well it&amp;rsquo;s been a while but I&amp;rsquo;m back. Been battling my blood sugar. No fun kiddies.&lt;br /&gt;I guess the big thing as of late has been that the world has been spinning the it normally does these days, smegged up.&lt;br /&gt;A while back I promised to write more about racism from my point of view. So let me just give a little background before I start to rant.&lt;br /&gt;I grew up a bigot. My family is from the South and I was mainly raised by my grandparents who had a we are &amp;ldquo;us&amp;rdquo; and they are &amp;ldquo;them&amp;rdquo; and never shall the two mix attitude about minorities. So I really didn&amp;rsquo;t know any different. I maintained this mind set up until my early 20&amp;rsquo;s where my whole mind set began to change. &lt;br /&gt;With a little study and some deep thinking I came to realize that bigotry was an absurd concept and that all people biologically the same. That true difference comes from actions and pyridines of perceived reality.&lt;br /&gt;We come to present day where I am spending the rest of my life together with a beautiful black woman and I am happier then I have ever been in my life.&lt;br /&gt;It has also given me a very unique perspective on the world. I can now see bigotry in all it&amp;rsquo;s forms and how it is still alive and well in the world today.&lt;br /&gt;Now there are little things I&amp;rsquo;ve come to ignore when my love and I are out together. The stern looks that people seem to think actually mean something to us give us. It&amp;rsquo;s mainly old white people or member of the white bourgeoisie, even have had quite a few from black men. &lt;br /&gt;None of it bothers me on a normal basis but when it&amp;rsquo;s time to sit down and talk about it what bothers me is the simple fact that here in the 21st century it still exists at all. What I find even more bothersome is he fact that it seems to be on the rise again.&lt;br /&gt;Now it&amp;rsquo;s always been established that blacks will always face bigotry in the southeastern states, for some reason they just can&amp;rsquo;t seem to get over it and it continues with each generation. Then you have the southwestern states that face problems with immigration and tend to have hostile attitudes against those from Central and South America. Then of course there are so many in the United States that hate those people from the Middle East. So much hatred directed at anyone different by people that don&amp;rsquo;t want to see the facts of diversity.&lt;br /&gt;We also allow groups such as the KKK, Aryan Nation and the so-called Minutemen that act as vigilantly border agents. All of these cowardly groups running around spreading hate are still allowed to exist. Now I&amp;rsquo;m not saying that these groups shouldn&amp;rsquo;t be allowed to practice free speech. Everyone should always have that right. However a price needs to be paid for such hate. A way to make it difficult for these groups to operate. It&amp;rsquo;s sad to think it&amp;rsquo;s even necessary to have to find such a way, but I fear that it must if we are ever going to move forward as the human race.&lt;br /&gt;Now I want to address the hatred that is focused at each group of people individually. &lt;br /&gt;To begin with I&amp;rsquo;ll start with the one I know best now and that&amp;rsquo;s blacks. Many of these racist cowards claim some type of racial superiority and try and back it with flimsy pseudo science that some researcher somewhere claims to have found, Well of course there are racist scientist (which is a contradiction in itself) and any well trained half intelligent researcher can manufacture evidence to try and prove anything. In the end it&amp;rsquo;s all nonsense. If anyone really studied the subject of racial differences they would find that on a genetic level all people are the same. That any differences come from environmental factors as each race evolved in their part of the world and nothing more.&lt;br /&gt;Then we have those that use religious reasons for their hatred. In particular a part of the bible that refers to &amp;ldquo;mud people&amp;rdquo;. These &amp;ldquo;good christians&amp;rdquo; that believe this are extremely ignorant. First this mud people reference is a metaphor. Second everything in your religion came from people from the Middle East and northern Africa. Your supposed prophets and gospel authors where these people which means they weren&amp;rsquo;t white. Theories just shot down with ease.&lt;br /&gt;We then go to those people that feel blacks don&amp;rsquo;t need special laws to protect them or that blacks have no right to still be upset about slavery and not having equal rights in this country.&lt;br /&gt;First off as long as racism exists among the majority of this country special anti-hate laws will need to exist and this goes for all minorities. Until discrimination no longer exists there needs to be special protections.&lt;br /&gt;I have heard too often in my life white people say &amp;ldquo;Why are blacks still upset about slavery. I never owned a slave &amp;ldquo; or &amp;ldquo;Why should I have to deal with blacks being upset about discrimination, I never discriminated against anyone.&amp;rdquo; Now these statement are true but they are also stupid. Now I agree much of the hard feelings blacks have is misdirected by simply targeting it against a random white person. It&amp;rsquo;s just as bad as hating another race just because they are that color. But the fact is blacks still have ever right in the world to have those feelings. I would like to see how these white people would feel if someone came to their ancestors home countries killed many of their relatives then forced the rest into leaky boats and taken to another country and made slaves. These people also need to look at history and see that the oppressed have always harbored negative feelings for their oppressors for great lengths of time even after being freed, it&amp;rsquo;s human nature.&lt;br /&gt;Slavery existed in this country for a very long time. Many generations of blacks found themselves as slaves for white Americans. Generations to build up hatred for those that held them under foot. Now legal slavery ended in the U.S. in 1865, though freed, most slaves had no where to go so they stayed on the plantations working under the same conditions just now for substandard wages. Freedom also didn&amp;rsquo;t end discrimination that blacks had to face so there was really little change. Now 1865 seems like a long time but for families and generations that followed it isn&amp;rsquo;t. 143 years in the big picture of this country isn&amp;rsquo;t that any kind of time to put that kind of past behind oneself. Then of course blacks weren&amp;rsquo;t granted equal rights until just under 40 years ago and of course equal rights didn&amp;rsquo;t come with a lack of discrimination that still exist to this very day. So what this all means is you may have never owned a slave or even discriminated against anyone but for blacks in the U.S. these things are still very fresh wounds and when wounded anyone will strike out against those things that wounded it. In pain it may not always be the exact right thing but when in pain one doesn&amp;rsquo;t really always think rationally. &lt;br /&gt;On to the question of Central and Southern American immigrants. This is simple but there are very few that are willing accept the truth. To start with yes it is true that illegal immigration is a strain on economy and creates cuts in wages in many industries because these immigrants are willing to work for lower wages there is no denying these facts. However let&amp;rsquo;s look at the reasoning behind why there is such an influx of people willing to break laws to survive by entering the U.S. illegally. The Government of the U.S. allows corporations to run their factories in these countries where they are allowed to pay slave wages and are not required to provide employees with any types of benefits or even decent working conditions. The U.S. government does push these other countries to increase workers standards even though U.S. corporations run their factories there. The U.S. Government does nothing to help prop up the economies of these countries even though it would help increase the economy of the U.S. Then there is the interference of the U.S. government in South American countries&amp;rsquo; governments allowing and arming wars and revolutions in these countries to help install leadership that would be friendly to U.S. companies even if they are brutal dictators that oppress their own people.&lt;br /&gt;Now if you have no future, you and your children are starving and there is no other place to turn wouldn&amp;rsquo;t you do whatever you needed to in order to help save yourself and your family. Now the big one that most turn away from ever time. This is the fact that a huge majority of treaties the U.S. government signed with the people of Central American and the native people were never honored by the U.S. government. So legally most of the Southwest still belongs to these people. I know it would be extremely difficult to do so now but from a legal viewpoint it is a fact.&lt;br /&gt;Now I am going to make this last one short simply because this Blog has been 4 months in the writing and I know I will breach the subject again at some point.&lt;br /&gt;People in the U.S. hating the people of the Middle- East because of the terrorist is like the people of Africa hating all Americans because of the KKK.&lt;br /&gt;Think about it !&lt;br /&gt;I&amp;rsquo;ll be back soon with more intelligent insights.&lt;br /&gt;Tah for now.&lt;br /&gt;</description>

      <title>Race Relations and Obama</title>
      <link>http://www.nevermorekeep.com/ravyngospel/index.blog?entry_id=1316991</link>

      <description>&lt;br&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;Once again I look at the world around me and am sicken by what I see.&lt;br /&gt;After what was a wonderful speech by presidential candidate Barack Obama on the present status of race relations in America and how they are perceived by him and by the many in the black community. The talking head zombies of cooperate media and the right wing brain deads have the nerve to turn and twist his words into something that invokes the image of racism on his part.&lt;br /&gt;They to further sour the situation there are the mindless sheep of American people just waiting to get in the queue to call him a racist as well and letting this lie change the way they are going to vote.&lt;br /&gt;Now of course both the media morons and the simple saps that are calling Obama a racist are white people who were just looking for a reason not to vote for a black man. People that are willing to accept a lie as well as anything in order to carry out their own racist mindsets.&lt;br /&gt;Now, I am white and I am proud of what I am. However I am also a realist and the reality of this situation is that it is not Obama that is a racist but that racism is still alive and well in the 21st century and as of late has been on the rise in the white community. That is reality. Reality is that most white people have simply learned to hide it better, even going as far to lie to themselves that they are not racist. Well guess what the monster has risen it&amp;rsquo;s ugly head again and you self-delusional folk are just as racist as your forefathers.&lt;br /&gt;Now I&amp;rsquo;m not saying that there aren&amp;rsquo;t black racist that are just as racist as any KKK coward. They exist. I am saying the facts are the facts. &lt;br /&gt;Fact, Barack Obama nor his pastor are racist. Fact, Reverend Wright simply stated what was going on for many blacks after Katrina&amp;nbsp; and in response to rising racism in this country&lt;br /&gt;Another fact is I don&amp;rsquo;t really disagree with anything Reverend Wright said that seemed to upset so many people.&lt;br /&gt;I have a lot more to say on this subject and will in coming days. I just had to get this to condemn the mind controlled media robots and their congregations of blind followers.&lt;br /&gt;Shame on you all. It&amp;rsquo;s sheeple like you that need to be cleaned out of the genetic pool.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/font&gt;</description>

      <title>Stupidity in America</title>
      <link>http://www.nevermorekeep.com/ravyngospel/index.blog?entry_id=1315927</link>
      <guid>http://www.nevermorekeep.com/ravyngospel/index.blog?entry_id=1315927</guid>

      <description>&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#ff0000&quot;&gt;Now let us get started with telling a little truth and so good facts. This following little statement was supposedly written by Ted Nugent and it has to be some of the stupidest shit I have ever read.&lt;br /&gt;So it&amp;rsquo;s time to tear it apart.&lt;br /&gt;BTW, I got this off the blog of a friend whom unfortunately had it posted as a positive thing. Despite this I must do what I must do. I hope he will forgive me and learn from it.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Start - I&amp;#39;m a Bad American - this pretty much sums it up for me. I like big trucks, big boats, big houses,&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;This just makes most people greedy, backwood rednecks. &lt;br /&gt;and naturally, pretty women. (Who doesn&amp;rsquo;t)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) I believe the money I make belongs to me and my family, not some mid-level governmental functionary with a bad comb-over who wants to give it away to crack addicts squirting out babies.&lt;br /&gt;I don&amp;#39;t care about appearing compassionate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#ff0000&quot;&gt;A) This is a poorly researched statement. The governmental functionary is not the one wanting to give people anything. It&amp;rsquo;s part of supporting our society for those who can&amp;rsquo;t support themselves. Also, less then 9% of all taxes you pay go to social programs and less then .5% of that money goes to anyone including any &amp;ldquo;Crack Addict&amp;rdquo; Then the fact that our society produces crack addict is a whole other subject.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) I think playing with toy guns doesn&amp;#39;t make you a killer. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#ff0000&quot;&gt;A) It may not make someone a killer but it does make it 100 times more likely that a child will seek to obtain a gun, which makes it a lot more likely they will kill.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.5) I believe ignoring your kids and giving them Prozac might.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#ff0000&quot;&gt;A.5) Where this maybe true we have allowed our society to degenerate to a point where both parents must work.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3) I think I&amp;#39;m doing better than the homeless.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#ff0000&quot;&gt;A) Well yes but just saying so makes you a dumb git.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4)I don&amp;#39;t think being a minority makes you noble or victimized. I have the right not to be tolerant of others because they are different, weird or make me mad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#ff0000&quot;&gt;A) Having the right, but having the right doesn&amp;rsquo;t give you the right to try and push those opinions on how the governing body operates or gives you the right to try and repress the rights of those you dislike.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5) This is my life to live, and not necessarily up to others expectations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#ff0000&quot;&gt;A) The most sensible thing said here but however you don&amp;rsquo;t hold that opinion for others.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6) I know what SEX is and there are not varying degrees of it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#ff0000&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A) This only your opinion and again YOU expect others to see things your way.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7) I don&amp;#39;t celebrate Kwanzaa. But if you want to that&amp;#39;s fine; I just don&amp;#39;t feel like everyone else should have to.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#ff0000&quot;&gt;A) What alternative universe do you live in. I don&amp;rsquo;t see anyone anywhere trying to make anyone celebrate it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8) I believe that if you are selling me a Dairy Queen shake, a pack of cigarettes, or hotel room you do it in English. As of matter of fact, if you are an American citizen you should speak English. My uncles and forefathers shouldn&amp;#39;t have had to die in vain so you can leave the countries you were born in to come disrespect ours, and make us bend to your will.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#ff0000&quot;&gt;A) Where I agree that you must speak English to work in this country the HATE that is spewed here in this cause it makes it your opinion unproductive.&lt;br /&gt;B) Your uncles and forefathers came to this country and disrespected the natives of this country.&lt;br /&gt;C) Those who fought for this country did so for freedom for ALL people.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9) I think the cops have every right to shoot your sorry butt if you&amp;#39;re running from them after they tell you to stop. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#ff0000&quot;&gt;A) Well the cops might have the right to shoot you (and they should) &lt;br /&gt;B) Over the past few decade the police forces over all major cities and most other places have become nothing more but a gang of paid street thugs no better then any other street gang. &lt;br /&gt;C)&amp;nbsp; Because of the reason above, even if I am innocent I am going to fucking run.&lt;br /&gt;D) If a cop shoots me my buddies down at the ACLU will be down at the Police departments Internal Affairs he next day.&lt;br /&gt;E) The police in the U.K. do very well chasing down suspects without guns at all. Something to think about !&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10) I don&amp;#39;t use the excuse &amp;quot;it&amp;#39;s for the children&amp;quot; as a shield for unpopular opinions or actions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#ff0000&quot;&gt;A) OK this is two I&amp;rsquo;ll give you. Always saying &amp;ldquo;think about the children&amp;rdquo; is a sad excuses and last time I checked we live in a world dominated by adults. It&amp;rsquo;s parent&amp;rsquo;s job to raise their children not society&amp;rsquo;s.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;11) I know how to count votes and I feel much safer letting a machine with no political affiliation do a recount when needed. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#ff0000&quot;&gt;A) The problem is the machines have been proven to be easily hacked.&lt;br /&gt;B) The President and CEO of Diebolt has gone on public record saying he would &amp;ldquo;Insure that Bush would win the election no matter what.&amp;rdquo;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;12) I know what the definition of lying is, and it isn&amp;#39;t based on the word &amp;quot;is&amp;quot; -ever.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#ff0000&quot;&gt;A) Hey, he was a politician. They all lie. But only a smeg head cares if one lies about having sex with so bimbo.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;13) I don&amp;#39;t think just because you were not born in this country, you qualify for any special loan programs, government sponsored bank loans, etc., so you can open a hotel, 7-Eleven, trinket shop, or any thing else, while the indigenous peoples can&amp;#39;t get past a high school education because they can&amp;#39;t afford it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#ff0000&quot;&gt;A) first these things are in no way connected&lt;br /&gt;B) Many of these people who get these programs are from countries the U.S. destroyed in wars, most in illegal wars so yes they deserve it.&lt;br /&gt;C) The fact that kids can&amp;rsquo;t get past High School is the government&amp;rsquo;s refusal to properly fund schools, to pay teachers a decent wage and to allow schools to pass kids that don&amp;rsquo;t deserve too just so they can get the little bit of money they do get for turning out large numbers of graduates. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;14) I didn&amp;#39;t take the initiative in inventing the Internet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#ff0000&quot;&gt;A) Okay, do you not get humor.&lt;br /&gt;B) What the hell does this have to do with this little rant here gimboy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;15) I thought the Taco Bell dog was funny.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#ff0000&quot;&gt;A) Again I agree and again what the hell does this have to do with your rant&lt;/font&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;16) I want them to bring back safe and sane fireworks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#ff0000&quot;&gt;A) I&amp;rsquo;ll agree with you here as soon as Americans get enough brains to use them. I don&amp;rsquo;t see that happening anytime soon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;16) I believe no one ever died because of something Ozzy Osbourne, Ice-T or Marilyn Manson sang.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#ff0000&quot;&gt;A) Wow a third thing that I completely agree with, you must have at least one brain cell working.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;17) This doesn&amp;#39;t mean I want to listen to that crap from someone else&amp;#39;s car when I&amp;#39;m stopped at a red light. But I respect your right to.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#ff0000&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A) Fucking live with it. I and they have the right.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;18) I think that being a student doesn&amp;#39;t give you any more enlightenment than working at Blockbuster or Jack In The Box.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#ff0000&quot;&gt;A) This doesn&amp;rsquo;t even make sense. NEXT !!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;19) I don&amp;#39;t want to eat or drink anything with the words light, lite or fat-free on the package.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#ff0000&quot;&gt;A) Okay so don&amp;rsquo;t. No one is forcing it on you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;20) Our soldiers did not go to some foreign country and risk their lives in vain and defend our Constitution so that decades later you can tell me it&amp;#39;s a living document ever changing and is open to interpretation. &lt;br /&gt;The guys who wrote it were light years ahead of anyone today, and they meant what they said - now leave the document alone, or there&amp;#39;s going to be trouble.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#ff0000&quot;&gt;A) Where it is true that the men who wrote where brilliant they where also slave owning bigots who wrote the document for rich, land owning, white men. Fault, the founding fathers.&lt;br /&gt;B) If you have a problem with people&amp;rsquo;s interpretation the constitution. Check with the NeoCon/Republicans, they&amp;rsquo;ve been doing a lot of it lately.&lt;/font&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;21)I don&amp;#39;t hate the rich.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#ff0000&quot;&gt;A) Of course not, you are one of them.&lt;br /&gt;B) The Rich are heartless, greedy and unwilling to pay their fair share in taxes. But, still whine about the tax system.&lt;br /&gt;C) Two Words: Class War !!! &lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;22) I help the poor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#ff0000&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A) Good for you if it&amp;rsquo;s true. You are in the 1% of the upper class that does&lt;/font&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;23) I know wrestling is fake.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#ff0000&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A) So does anyone outside of the backwood rednecks of the southern states.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;24) I&amp;#39;ve never owned, or was a slave, and a large percentage of our forefathers weren&amp;#39;t wealthy enough to own one either. Please stop blaming me because some prior white people were idiots - and remember, tons of white, Indian, Chinese, and other races have been enslaved too - it was wrong for every one of them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#ff0000&quot;&gt;A) You may have not owned slaves, enough people back then did own them.&lt;br /&gt;B) Where it seems like it was long ago that this happened it really wasn&amp;rsquo;t. It takes a lot longer then a couple generations for this type of thing to heal.&lt;br /&gt;C)&amp;nbsp; If you knew what it was like to be black you would understand. Especially sense bigotry is alive and well in 2008 and is still happening everyday.&lt;br /&gt;D) Yes, it was just as bad for other races who faced it and should be allowed to mourn that time just the same and believe me they are still just as upset about it. They just don&amp;rsquo;t have the voice the black community does&lt;/font&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;25) I believe a self-righteous liberal Democrat with a cause is more dangerous than a Hell&amp;#39;s Angel with an attitude.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#ff0000&quot;&gt;A) Maybe so, however it&amp;rsquo;s better then the holier then thou Republicans that connect straight back to the Third Reich. &lt;br /&gt;B) &amp;lsquo;Nuff Said !!!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;26) I want to know exactly which church is it where the &amp;quot;Reverend&amp;quot; Jessie Jackson preaches; and, what exactly is his job function.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#ff0000&quot;&gt;A) Where as this is a good question. If you are tired of seeing him on TV blame the Corporate media. He in no way speaks for a majority of anybody.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;27) I own a gun, you can own a gun, and any red blooded American should be allowed to own a gun, but if you use it in a crime, then you will serve the time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#ff0000&quot;&gt;A) I agree partly with you. We both know that using a gun is only a crime depending on circumstances.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;28) I think Bill Gates has every right to keep every penny he made and continue to make more. If it makes you mad, then invent the next operating system that&amp;#39;s better and put your name on the building. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#ff0000&quot;&gt;A) Bill Gates stole the operating system from the work he did with Steve Jobs and Windows sucks.&lt;br /&gt;B) Rid the world of the class system and screw Bill&amp;rsquo;s money.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;29) I don&amp;#39;t believe in hate crime legislation. Even suggesting it makes me mad. You&amp;#39;re telling me that someone who is a minority, gay, disabled, another nationality, or otherwise different from the mainstream of this country has more value as a human being that I do as a white male.&lt;br /&gt;If someone kills anyone, I&amp;#39;d say that it&amp;#39;s a hate crime. We don&amp;#39;t need more laws! Let&amp;#39;s enforce the ones we already have.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#ff0000&quot;&gt;A) It&amp;rsquo;s not a matter of value. It&amp;rsquo;s a matter of that minorities etc. more often get attacked because they are these things, so yes they need special laws.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;30) I think turkey bacon, turkey beef, turkey fake anything sucks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#ff0000&quot;&gt;A) Again who cares. No one is forcing you to eat any of it.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;31) I believe that it doesn&amp;#39;t take a village to raise a child. It takes a parent with the guts to stand up to the kid and spank his butt and say &amp;quot;NO!&amp;quot; when it&amp;#39;s necessary to do so.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#ff0000&quot;&gt;A) Wow I agree with five out of 31. You aren&amp;rsquo;t doing real well.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;32) I&amp;#39;ll admit that the only movie that ever made me cry was Ole Yeller.&lt;br /&gt;I didn&amp;#39;t realize Dr. Seuss was a genius until I had a kid.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#ff0000&quot;&gt;A) Really, come on. What the hell does this have to do with your little hate speech here.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;33) I will not be frowned upon or be looked down upon or be made to keep silent because I have these beliefs and opinions. I thought this country allowed me that right.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#ff0000&quot;&gt;A) We did have the right to feel this way until the republicans and the &amp;ldquo;Patriot Act&amp;rdquo; took hem away&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;34) I will not conform or compromise just to keep from hurting somebody&amp;#39;s feelings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#ff0000&quot;&gt;A) Again no one is trying too. Quit crying.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;35) I&amp;#39;m neither angry nor disenfranchised, no matter how desperately the mainstream media would like the world to believe otherwise.&lt;br /&gt;Yes, I guess by some people&amp;#39;s definition, I may be a bad American.&lt;br /&gt;But that&amp;#39;s tough.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#ff0000&quot;&gt;A) No, you are stupid, misinformed and a loudmouth.&lt;br /&gt;B) I don&amp;rsquo;t care if you are a bad American or not. However you are a bad human being.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#ff0000&quot;&gt;Open Note to Ted Nugent:&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;I don&amp;rsquo;t know if you wrote this or not but, from what I have heard come out your mouth before I am inclined to believe you did.&lt;br /&gt;In my opinion someone should dress you up as a deer and hunt you,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;br&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;arial black,avant garde&quot; size=&quot;1&quot; color=&quot;#ff0000&quot;&gt;Welcome to my first blog of 2008. Now many have asked me to blog more often and are fond of my opinion. I however have not simply because as my mind processes the events of the past months I come to the same conclusion. I can only think of so many ways to say the same thing about society in this age. The American public for the majority is lazy, heartless, misinformed, over propaganda &amp;ndash;dized and devoid of passion. I guess I am seeing what one great writer had said. &amp;ldquo;There is nothing more rigid, more unbending, the mankind on the road to his own destruction.&amp;rdquo;&lt;br /&gt;I don&amp;rsquo;t know if I feel angry or disappointed or saddened or simple pity. Maybe all four, maybe none of the above.&lt;br /&gt;Honestly, what I see is that we are in the middle of a revolution or at least we are suppose to be, at least this is what many people in this country and others are saying. I read the blogs, the boards, the groups and newsletters. I listen to the radio broadcasts and the podcasts. I see the occasional vigils and protests, however small they may be. However as I see it this is the problem. What&amp;rsquo;s going on is not even close to a revolution. It&amp;rsquo;s a small squeaky wheel that&amp;rsquo;s barely worth being oiled. There are many reasons that there is no revolution, these reasons are slowly destroying any real hope from the future from the inside. Some who will read this blog and my new blog on my website may be offended. For those who are offended by this I say, good. This is meant in every form to offend you.&lt;br /&gt;Everybody is out writing blogs, newsletters, posting on boards and groups and making podcasts or waiting to bitch on the radio. Where these things are good and somewhat productive, information is not enough if no one but the &amp;ldquo;choir&amp;rdquo; is listening. There is no hope in people coming to you for the information or even reading it if you hand it to them. It has to be presented in ways that people can&amp;rsquo;t be ignored. It has to be yelled in the streets and from the rooftops or it must be hiding in forms of entertainment that the masses will imbibe and learn from.&lt;br /&gt;But it&amp;rsquo;s not. There are just not enough people to care. Even I have giving up on the corner vigil. (Mostly because of my health) But partly because it&amp;rsquo;s just shouting at the deaf.&lt;br /&gt;So why am I blogging now. Two reasons.&lt;br /&gt;First, because I have recently read some other blogs that were just simply rubbish and some needs to set the record straight and who better then me. The Cerebral Terrorist.&lt;br /&gt;Second, because what needs to be done now is to save the facts and truth of our time and transmit them in whatever form to future generations and this is one of the ways I am going to this. So I&amp;rsquo;m pulling out my keyboard and sharing my superior intellect with this age and the New Aeon.&lt;br /&gt;So stay tune kiddies there is much more to come. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://blog.angelfire.lycos.com/adm/common/js/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-cool.gif&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;Cool&quot; title=&quot;Cool&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;br&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;blogContent&quot;&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#999999&quot;&gt;Today, once again I heard the neocon fundies whinning about how if any of them stand up publicly for their beleifs they are called rednecks, half-wits, simpletons, boobs, or uneducated.&lt;br /&gt;Now these poor dears should know we aren&amp;#39;t calling them names, oh no. We are simply pointing a simple fact. &lt;br /&gt;Think about this gang. (I know thinking for you is difficult)&lt;br /&gt;It is said in that wonderful little book &amp;quot;My people suffer from lack of knowledge&amp;quot; {paraphrased}&lt;br /&gt;Not lack of faith, not lack of belief but lack of knowledge.&lt;br /&gt;When you think yourselves as the only way to God, you show lack of knowledge,&lt;br /&gt;When you take the bible as actually history you show lack of knowledge.&lt;br /&gt;When you believe the Earth is only 6.000 years old, you show lack of knowledge.&lt;br /&gt;When you think there where dinosours on Noahs ark, you show lack of knowledge.&lt;br /&gt;When you think that gay marriage somehow will effect yours, you show lack of knowledge.&lt;br /&gt;When you believe that you are a person at conception, you show lack of knowledge.&lt;br /&gt;When you believe there is a devil that is in charge of the secular world and is trying to make you sin, you show lack of knowledge.&lt;br /&gt;When you believe in creationism over evolution, you show lack of knowledge.&lt;br /&gt;I could go on and on. But as long as you stick to the beliefs of people 2000 years ago and don&amp;#39;t progress beyond that you show you are what you are being called.&lt;br /&gt;I don&amp;#39;t think God won&amp;#39;t want belief systems to grow and change as humanity changes.&lt;br /&gt;When your beliefs don&amp;#39;t grow to meet the changing world. Its no longer a relationship with the divine, it&amp;#39;s a chain of slavery.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  														 														 														 															&lt;table border=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; cellpadding=&quot;2&quot; class=&quot;blogContentInfo&quot;&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr valign=&quot;top&quot;&gt; 																&lt;td&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/td&gt; 																&lt;td&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;br&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#c0c0c0&quot;&gt;Day after day I look around and wonder what has happened to the people of the people of this country. Where is the passion of rebellion. We live in a world that is coming apart at the seams. Our freedoms not to mention our basic human rights are being rip from us. Our government is which was no prize to start with is being contolled by fascist who are gaining more and more power. The middle class is being wiped out and the gap between the heartless upper class and the working class grows by quantum leaps. Where uber rich coorperations get tax breaks and government welfare and the working class gets screwed.&lt;br /&gt;This and much more is destroying the foundation of our society and shattering lives every minute of every day. But what are we doing about it. We have the occational portest march where a lot of pretty words are spoken and people get excited at least for the day. We bitch on our discussion groups. We educate ourselves. All this is wonderful but accoplishes little. Do you think those in power give a damn about any of this, do you think it effects what they do or how they think. It doesn&amp;#39;t. &lt;br /&gt;Also it seems this is the best we can do, no seems to have the guts to do more. Living in fear to take the next step. If the Revolutionary War were to take place today there would be no Tea Party, no midnight ride and no shot heard around the world. There would only be a lot of speeches and a lot of hangings. Actually don&amp;#39;t be too sure those hangings don&amp;#39;t start up again.&lt;br /&gt;We can look around the world and see when huge injustices take place in other countries people take to the streets, they shut down businesses and whole towns. They march until something is done or at least the world knows there is a problem and things are put into motion. There is no fear, just passion to bring and end to injustice. No selfish actions to protect their comfortable little lives but a passion to change the world and make a better future for themselves and their future generations.&lt;br /&gt;That kind of passion still existed here in the 60&amp;#39;s but somehow in 40 years it has been wiped away, socially engineered out of our minds and spirits. The passion is gone and without it how do we ever expect anything to change. &lt;br /&gt;Fact, it won&amp;#39;t!&lt;/font&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;br&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#c0c0c0&quot;&gt;This is something I have been rolling around my head for a very long time and have never able to answer. &lt;br /&gt;What right does the government of the United States or for that matter any country have to tell me what to do. I understand there need to protect their self interest and citizens but beyond that what right do they have to tell me how I should act, what behavior is expectable or what they expect of me.&lt;br /&gt;In my whole life I have never, ever agreed to follow their rules of laws, I never gave them any type of authority over me. I never signed a pledge or taken an oath that promised to follow their way of life. Why do they have the right to consider me an American and expect me to walk the line they lay out.&lt;br /&gt;Just because my parents decided to give birth to me on this soil does not obligate me in any way.&lt;br /&gt;It was never my choice to make. So there forth I feel no guilt when I fracture a law I never agreed to follow in the first place. As I see it force people to follow laws, regulation&lt;/font&gt;s and lifestyles they never agreed to is just short of social slavery.</description>

      <description>&lt;br&gt;Now ever since I set my feet on the path of spiritual and took my oath as a Priest I have seen myself as a man of peace. I have looked down my nose at violence and those who use it to solve problems or get their way. I have always seen that the only use of violence was to defend one&amp;#39;s self or those innocents who couldn&amp;#39;t. But as of late I have felt differently about it&amp;#39;s use and even at times see the need to clean some of the ignorance out of gene pool. To eliminate some of the fascist bastards that run our society and even those of the common man that are racist, religious fanatics, homophomics and capitalist. I swear I watch TV and listen to the radio hearing people talking that I would have no problem putting a gun to their head and saving society. I&amp;rsquo;m not talking about simply about people who have different opinions but actively act on these beliefs. I mean like the human scum that hangout outside Planned Parenthood harassing women at what&amp;rsquo;s a bad enough time in their life. The worthless punks that go down gay bars and gay bash or the morons that stop gay marriage legislation because they are soo deluded they think it will effect their marriage. How about those who ignore police violence because they feel if some is being arrested they deserve whatever they get. People who ignore the fact that racism still runs ramped in this country. Those people who let those cowards in white sheets march in their streets. Why does the black community not unite against these injustices. Do they really think living some thug life do a damn thing except tighten their own chains. Was MLK Jr a thug or was Malcolm X. Use to when the police or anyone committed such an injustice people took to the streets. Now when it happens some untalented half-wit writes a song about it, nothing more. Gangsters in cities spend time shoot each other over stupidity instead of rising up against the government that put them in the situations they live in. I am disappointed that it doesn&amp;rsquo;t happen.&lt;br /&gt;I go to POW WOWs and see native Indians marching around with American flag. That is the most sickening thing in the world. How many Jews do you see carrying around Nazi flags, in this case it&amp;rsquo;s worse. Instead of banding together to make a better life for themselves they open casinos.&lt;br /&gt;Living in California we have these pricks called the Minutemen that go out on their own and patrol the boarders. I would love to punch one of these piss ants. I don&amp;rsquo;t understand why some of my Latino brothers don&amp;rsquo;t go down and take these jerks out. &lt;br /&gt;But this is what I mean. I see these NeoCom freaks running around destroying our planet and our society and our people and no one is really doing anything to put and end to it. Our world needs to be saved and I am beginning to think putting an end to these people is our only salvation. Does this make me as bad as they are. Most likely and it tears me apart but I look around me and I feel like I am living in a bad remake of 1984 and I know it has to stop. Is violence the answer I don&amp;rsquo;t know but I have never felt so much like being violent in my life.</description>
