More Stupidity from the people who brought you

buildings falling down when nothing hit them (you know, like airplanes).

An update on the mysterious carjacking victim involved in the barnum and bailey man hunt that took place last week in boston, ma.
(insert doot-doot-dooty-dooty-doot-doot-doooooooooit....music here)
The mysterious heretofore not heard of or identified carjacking victim from the boston "terror attack" has FINALLY surfaced. And he has told his story!!!
to....one reporter from One outlet.
The boston globe.
How quaint.
So, and Im going to remember this as best as I can but I was spending much of the time laughing, cursing, and throwing objects at my radio as I listened to the story on NPR.

Here goes.
Carjacking victim decided at approx. 12:30 that fateful night to go for a "joyride". I kid you not, those were the words used on air. So victim A goes for a joyride around boston (mind you when the city was GRIPPED with terror and uncertainty in the week after the terror bombings)....and as he was driving in no particular direction, he gets a text message.
So, and this is EXACTLY what the Globe reporter said " Her got a text message, and this tells you what kind of person this man is, because........HE PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO ANSWER THE TEXT!!!!!"
And the silly ass reporter was being serious!!! Ok, picture painted. The guys probably got out to reverse some carbon molecules he just created also so as to make the earth a healthier place too, while he was not drivin while texting.
While he was pulled over , an older model sedan type car (read, junky P.O.S. so it MUST have been occupied by Bad PEOPLE, y'know those citizens who DONT pull over while texting), and the next thing he knows, ....

I cant make this shit up...but somebody did....


A MAN comes up to his car and says, "we're the boston bombers and we just killed a cop a coupla minutes ago!!!! Got any money!?!?!?"

Oh, you think I'm making this up. Like I said, I couldnt, but someone did. He only had 45 dollars (cuz he loves the planet and doesnt want to carry around too much cash and appear austentatious while driving his mercedes suv or somethin... So they took his ATM card and tried to use it, but they punched in the wrong PIN number. Second attempt got them 800 dollars, which was good, cuz these terrorist bastards were almost out of gas, AND they were still one gun short of being both called armed and dangerous. I imagine the tension was pretty high.
So they take the money, and drive off to a gas station to get gas. To PAY for gas. After....nevermind. While the younger terrorist is PAYING for the gas, the victim hatches a plan. Here's how he said it played out in his mind......
"The older terrorist was in the suv, but the gun wasnt in the terrorists hand, it was in the pocket in the door. So I thought I'd take my seatbelt off (I guess he didnt want the driver to get a ticket for driving without his passengers being buckled), open the door, SLAM the door, and run across the street to the convenience store there. The terrorist would have to grab the gun and shoot backwards over his shoulder while I ran". um. Well, he's the only one who's talking so we HAVE to believe his version, right?
The victim said the younger terrorist seemed not so threatening. He was "goofy". But the OLDER one, why HE was the BAD seed. He was all serious. And he was the one with the gun. Yeah. One gun. Even though they supposedly killed the MIT officer for his gun, with their gun, they still only had one gun. Want to know WHY they still only had one gun? Because these two terrorists who crippled an entire city and maimed hundreds of people with their home made bombs,..............couldn't figure out how to get the officers gun, out of the dead officers holster.
Again, I can't make this up. They could make a bomb that WORKS, but they cant find the button on the holster that releases the gun. Yep. That makes sense. But seeing how there was a funeral with thousands of lawr enfortcement types all lined neat and pretty and saluting and respectful, you are not allowed to question the official story. Just be remorseful and respectful dammit. No questions asked.
Oh, and shazzzam. Like I mentioned in my previous rant/post/take on the week's events, the victim "remembered" that his cellphone was in his car. And the good 9-11 call taker told him that his CAR had a gps tracking device on it as well.
The frazzled Mercedes owner said "it DOES?!" Well, now the chase was easier than tracking O.J. driving on the san bernadino hwy in a white bronco @ 20 mph. They could watch the pretty blinking red dot on a map, in real time. No helicopters or breaking news needed.
Well, they did that anyways, but AFTER the cops and robbers (bad guys/terrorists/wanna be jihadists) did a reenactment of the OK corral shootout. Helluva shoot out considering the bad guys only had one GUN, and the victim who was painstakingly detailed in his script, DIDN'T mention a stockpile of extra ammo or magazines (those things that the ammo goes into).
Huh. Big time gunfight with the cops firing a coupla hundred rounds, and the bad guys had one gun and one magazine. 15 rounds, max. They did have bombs though. And flung them at the officers (who were firing furiously at the bad guys). Hum. The victim didnt mention the stockpile of home made bombs being transferred into his SUV when they carjacked it.
Oh well. His mind was probably preoccupied with "slamming the door" details of his story. He was there, not me.
I believe every word of what he and the news media said happened. Every word. All those nuts that say the older brother was arrested, stripped nekked and placed in custody, BEFORE being shot and killed and run over by his brother, well, they're just nuts.
Even IF they are CNN reporters. That story changed, like so many stories change over time.
I believe it all.

On a happier upbeat note, this morning on NPR's news, there was a line about "The Taliban in Afghanistan ANNOUNCED that they would be starting their spring campaign soon".

um.

okaaaaaaay. MY mind went to........Since when do groups like The Taliban make ANNOUNCEMENTS about "starting their spring campaign"!?!?!? It sounds like a new spring fashion line. "over heah we have AllyBoobah in a light but suprisingly comfortable assault gown......"
I dunno. doesn't make sense to me.
It would make a great skit on saturday night live though.
Have a Taliban lookin announcer standing outside a cave opening in the Hindu-Kush Mts with a mike and a smoke machine, and ..........well......

".....AAAAAAAAAnd HERE'S you STARTING lineup for the Spring 2013 campoaign!!!!! Starting at Suicidebomber, HIS whole family was blown to smithereenes while attending a wedding reception in Pakistan........at 6 ft. 2 in......number forty SEVEN...........Aaaaaaaaaaachmed Shlazoooooooooomeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!! (haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah)
....AND .at 15 years old, recently orphaned by a freedom spreading drone in Khandahar........starting as first machine gunner in the back of a modified Toyota pick up truck.........NUMber TWENTY TWO............... ShraZHACK TZmoook..zl....ah.
ahem (haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah)

.......And returning for his FORTY EIGTH spring campaign..............at 84 years of Allah Blessed age..............The Talliban's Taliban man.............NUMber 99.........Osaaaaaaaaaama BIN LAAAAAAAAAAADENNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!........." ( fistpumping with one hand, dragging dialysis machine with the other......)


You have to do the visual part yourself. Mine was pretty funny.
Not as funny as listening to the news, but pretty funny.

Oh. One more thing m'am. It seems there was a piece of a jetliner found. In NYC. A coupla blocks from ground zero. Last week. Investigators wore HAZMAT suits while investigating the heretofore missed piece of wreckage from that horrific day, 12 years ago. The investigators were worried about potential radioctivity in the piece of wreckage. And nobody batted an eye over that comment. The whole concept is preposterous enough, but WHY would a piece of plane wreckage from a plane crash 12 years ago be contaminated with radiation!?!?

carry on. Try to think while you're carrying, though.

USA!! USA!!!! USA!!!!!

I can't take it anymore.  
Whats sillier than claiming to find a drivers license of one of the supposed hijackers in the rubble of a collapsed skyscraper??  Well, nothing actually, but this is close.    50,000 (whatever the actual number, anything above a thousand and it gets silly exponentially) cops, soldiers, agents, tanks helicopters,.......for ONE 19 year old "suspect". 
This wasn't Jason frickin Bourne, folks.    A 19 yr old college student who by all accounts wasn't what the "evidence" makes him out to be.  
Time to put on your tinfoil thinking caps.   Why did the Boston Globe tweet this?   Does this make sense to ANYONE out there?   Seems a teensy bit coincidental.  
How smart are you?   Lemme ax you somethin.  If you just placed a bomb somewhere, would you stay in the area?  would you don a baseball cap and walk around knowing that there are cameras everywhere, especially in big cities in the land of the (buy one get one) free?  THINK.  How smart ARE you?   Smart enough to not walk out in front of a bus zooming by?  
story part B.   The suspects allegedly placed the pressure cooker bombs (which, were being called that MINUTES after they went off.   hmmmmmmmmm), then they walked away calmly and went about their lives.    4 days later the federallies released photos of the suspects, and the chase is on.  Supposedly they robbed a convenience store.  then they didnt rob the convenience store.  Then they supposedly shot a MIT police officer who was sitting in his car (bravely and heroicly we are told) because they were afraid he might identify them.  THEN they supposedly carjacked a mercedes suv, supposedly stole the suv's owners debit card and went to three different places to empty his account.   THEN, they just let the mercedes owner walk away, unharmed save for  emotional wear and tear.   Minutes after supposedly assasinating a police officer out of fear of being identified.  They let walk away the guy who could identify them, AND tell the federallies what kind of car they are driving, HELL, they could call onstar and track the goddam car in REALTIME!!!!
Yeah, that makes sense.  Oh, and before they let the guy go free, they told him (ala richard pryor and gene wilder)...."yeah, we BAD.....AND, we're the marathon bombers!!!"
Yeah, that makes sense too.   
Oh, and the supposed carjacking victim, is nowhere to be found.  Seems he doesnt want to be identified.  Hes hidden better than a 70 yr old terror mastermind draggin a dialysis machine through the hindu-kush mts.........
FUCK "privacy".  If I were a reporter, I'd find that guy and ask him what the hell exactly happened and why is he hiding?    Hell in this current climate of being a hero cuz you're sitting in your car, this guy could be on mt rushmore in a coupla years.   Or at the least have box seats at fenway in perpetuity.  
Doesn't add up.
And I'm not the first one to say that, either.
3 different people interviewed on the night of the big chase/manhunt in boston, all said that the federallies version of who these guys were didnt match up with the personal accounts of 10 years of association.  Not in the least.  The most damning bit of social media evidence they could come up with (and televise) was "I've been in america 10 yrs and I dont have a single american friend"      Gee, what a threat.
But wait, I'm just getting started here.    So the federallies announced a lockdown "request" that shut ALL boston businesses (except for the dunkin donut in watertown where it looked like a lawr enforcement convention.  I kid you not.  Can't have 50,000 cops without a goddam donut shop in sight, now can we?  They also cancelled all sporting events in Boston, and told residents to stay in their houses and lock their doors and don't open them unless there was a uniformed lawr enforcement officer (or a navy seal assault team) at the door.    Around 6 pm on friday, they must have run out of creme filling or jelly donuts or something, because the order ....um....request was lifted, and the good heroic citizens were told they were allowed to.....um.......without contrary requests, I guess,  leave their homes.   The federalli in charge said the suspect must not be in the area, so go ahead and take fido for a walk or do what it is you do when the city isnt shut down because of one guy on the run.....
Minutes later newsmen and busloads of lawr enforcement types and donut makers were making haste for a house ONE BLOCK away from where they were, because some brave heroic compliant citizen noticed a man fitting the discription of suspect #2, hiding in his boat.  In his driveway.   A block away.      DOZENS of gunshots and small explosions are heard coming from the area of the getaway boat, and then a request is made for a "fbi negotiator".     I guess the explosions and bullets softened him enough to want to talk to an official negotiator.   An hr or so later, a request is made for medical assistance.  
The brave officers (20 or 30 combat soldiers) stormed the boat with flash bang grenades and a hail of bullets (from their direction) and the suspect is taken into custody.   
And not read his miranda rights.   Well, because the white house says  theres this clause that  if the public is in danger or threatned then they dont have to..........
John Ashcroft said the next day that they didnt have to mmirandize the suspect cuz hell, the govt has enough evidence anyways to get a conviction, so we dont even NEED his statement!!!!
And the goddam idjit newsperson took that as a reasonable answer, from a reasonable expert!!!!! 
Last time I checked, Miranda rights weren't something set up to provide the govt with a surefire way to obtrain evidence, was it?!?!?!?
And I'm the crazy one. 
Not so much.

Now.  But wait, there's more.

Suspect in custody, guns are put away (for now), and the good brave heroic tight knit citizens of Boston come out of their homes, and what  do they do after a harrowing day of watching tv and playing on their computers and x-boxes!?!!?
They cheer and sing for the brave 50,000 soldiers/lawr enforcement officers and federallie agents who protected them so well in the past 24 hrs.   USA!!  USA!!!!  USA!!!!!!
My son saw that and said, what, did we win a game or something?
I replied, not exactly, but 50,000 cops soldiers with tanks and machine guns and helicopters and trained dogs and half the suburbans chevy ever produced, just caught a wounded 19 year old college kid who was hiding in a boat.
And they shot the shit out of him, too.

Other than that, its all good.
Well, they won't let anyone see him or let him have a lawyer or let a reporter or his family  see him or talk to him. 
Other than THAT, its all good.
And he can't talk, but he can write. 
I guess they needed a fbi negotiator/stenographer the other day.   The guy can't talk, but he needed a negotiator.
Oh,   I'm told that was BEFORE the 30 or 40 rounds of negotiation the brave heroes sent in the wounded 19 yr old college kid's direction.

Yep.  Thats how it went down. 
Now we have kumbayah moment of silences all over america and we sing the national anthem a little bit louder with a little straighter stance......cuz we won't let the terrorists win here in America DAMMIT!!!!!

Thats the FBI's job.  
They're the good guys.

 

Of Drones, and building a smarter planet

It seems the more I learn the less I know.  On CBS's morning show the other day they did a story on black box type devices already installed in most cars.   Seems there was a politician who wrecked his car and blamed it on a patch of black ice, but the nice insurance adjusters checked the car's recording device (which NOBODY knows are there) and found a different story.  The guy was going over a hundred mph.  and he wasn't wearing his seat belt, among other things.    The talking heads on the show, and for morning shows its the least giddy and annoying of them all, just shook their heads in disapproval and were resigned to the fact that there really IS no privacy anymore.   The black boxes are already instoalled on most cars today.   Funny how that didn't get much fanfare.      
Progressive Insurance has commercials promoting a device that one plugs into the cars memory, or black box, and by giving progressive the info contained in it, you can maybe get a discount.   Oh goody.   I can save ten or 30 dollars a year, and all I have to do is tell the insurance company everything about my driving and my whereabouts??  Whadda deal.   The commercial promotes the concept as a "cool idea".  Now I don't know what the hell is so cool about  giving away information that no on e REALLY needs to know, but in this age of facebook and tweeting ones bowel movements for all the world to see, I can see that I am in the minority.   Uncool, as it were.
Hey on a good note the city of Santa Clara California   now has free outdoor wi-fi!  The wi-fi is necessary to collect the data from the "smart" meters (you know, building a smarter planet, and all that...) that have replaced the OLD fashioned electrical and water meters that actually had to be READ by a PERSON.  Now, these newfangled SMART meters automatically SEND the information of how much and when you use and how you use you electricity and water to.....well.....the water and electricity authorities.   And the same crazy people who say this is just another step in the troglodyte trudge to total monitoring and control, say that the smart meters actually give off some pretty unhealthy vibes.  At least thats what this guy says.  The good news is, those nice really smart people at the huff post say its a lot of hooey.   And if you can't believe Arianna Huffington, who the hell CAN you believe??     You decide.   And post what you believe on facebook, please.   Somebody out there gives a shit.
4 years ago when I first started to wake  up everybody thought I was crazy with my wild ideas and talk of doom and gloom.   My crazy ideas have since evolved into a crazier realm, which are mostly based on a "take a look around" philosophy.   Just watch and learn and tell me what you see.    I don't see the sky falling anymore, mostly because it isn't.  What IS happening, is something called geoengineering, which has been talked about at length and in pretty eye possing detail, by the sciencey-types in charge of making the planet smarter.     I knew somebody was doing SOMETHING, but didnt know who or what.
At least I could SEE what was in front of us all, but most viewed my eyesight as crazy talk.   Thats ok.     Except for the part where it was being done without telling any of us.  You know, like the black boxes being installed into our cars.  
 Maybe I just need to be a little more trusting of the authorities who run things like, everything, and just let them do whatever it is they deem necessary, and just get on with my facebookin and tweetin and dancin with the stars-a-watchin.    Life is sure simpler that way.    Sure is easier than wondering who the hell has a drone bullseye on their head and whether or not its warranted or justified or legal or any of those icky questions.  
Or worrying about those eeeeeevil terrorist types who are "detained" in Gitmo and are now in the middle of hunger strikes.   Protesting their captivity!!! the NERVE!!!!  So we haven't charged them with any crimes or anything, we're just detaining them.   um........for 10 years.   and those rules apply to ANYONE we deem a terrorist threat to our great freedom spreading via drones nation of ours.   Watch what blasty the drone has to say about this stuff.    Its a cartoon, you'll love it.   And cartoons aren't real, so you can go back to facebookin and tweetin afterwards with no worries about nuthin.

In conclusion, like paul simon said, and I couldn't have said it better.

someone always says it better anyways

cant top this

the road less traveled

That picture pretty much exemplifies my life to this point.  Lotta traveling, but not really going anywhere.   

     I was even on this one for a while....... well.....one like it, in similar conditions.
                                         

              This one I was on, with my motorcycle, too.  As usual, alone on 99% of the ride, but met some people on the way up to the top.   Its mt washington, by the way.  There's a reason why they sell bumper stickers that say "this car climbed mt washington".         No other Mt in the eastern U.S. like that one.                           

                                       This one?  Ive been on many times.  MOST of the time, actually.  
                                          

                                        
                    Now it seems Im here.   Or close to it.     I know where each road leads to, thats all that matters.  This is my blog, after all. I only have to explain the things I want you to understand.  The rest of what I write here, is for me.  

                                                                    
                                    Know what this road is called?  Its in Montana.  It has a very fitting name.
            

                                     


                                     This one is too obvious.






                                   Im tired.     

                                          

                                     and I feel like this.  

                                     
                                     

                                         Everything can be beautiful.  Out of context.



                                        

of evolution and the Desperate Housewives

Its a quaint subject, and I could post for days on the subject of evolution and its secondary originator, Charles Darwin , but I won't.  This is where smart people comment about me writing stupid phrases like "secondary originator", and then scurry off to google to see what they don't know about charles darwin and all "his" idears about evolution............
Ok. We all have a basic idea about the concept of evolution.  Start as a amoeba or zygote and emerge from a smoldering hurling through space fireball of toxic supernova aftermath,  and after three weeks less than an eternity of time, change due to adaptive abilities into an inconceivably complex myriad of organisims and ecosystems and beings.................  yeah thats a pretty good summary.

I'm speaking of evolution on a much more personal level.  Mine.  
The problem with evolution , and I'm speaking here of evolution of thought and beliefs, is that it doesn't go like climbing a ladder from (at least for me) one level of awareness to another higher level of awareness.    Its much more like that scene from Monsters Inc, where Scully and mike grabowski and Boo jumped from  one magic closet door conveyor track to another.  Hundreds of tracks with millions of doors on them, all traveling in different levels and directions of travel, at very high speeds.
If you dont have kids and never saw the movie, imagine suspending a dozen hand grenades in a large warehouse, at different levels of height and in different locations throughout the warehouse, which by the way, is empty.
Now set them off. Simultaniously.The thousands of  fragments of steel chards would travel in different directions on different planes.  Got it?  Imagine riding on one of those pieces, then deciding at some point to jump off the one your riding on and leap to one traveling near yours, but going in a totally different direction. 
THATS what its been like.
And if you cant draw a mental picture from that, you have no business here.
Is it just me, or is everything changing like that? 
Do you still watch the news on tv, or listen to what they tell us is news, on tv (or the radio?)  Now I know this is nothing new in the bitch about life dept., but its gotten REALLY bad in the past few years, and it seems to be getting worse almost daily.
Or is it just me?
My tolerance to let the tv stay on in the backround is almost nonexistant anymore.  In a few short years I went from believing everything I wanted to know was on the right channel or show or network, to believing each one is as retarded as the next, and  worse than the last.  Now I turn it on to see if the tv news in the morning has video of europe in smoking ruins or california being called the new atlantis, or something along those lines, and thats pretty much it. 
Once I hear the people start to talk about a story of a house fire in Mcadoo or the latest run/walk/jog/'all-you-can-eat-fest to end breast cancer, or the 18 minute description of todays weather.......*click* goes the clicker.   Alls right with the world.  For another day at least.
I used to love and believe in, america.
I don't anymore.
I used to love and believe politics was important and more important than important, that it was REAL. 
I cant believe I used to believe that anymore.
I used to think I believed In God.
But it was like saying "I don't believe in gravity", while deciding to NOT jump off the cliff. 
What you believe is what you DO.  I just told that to my daughter today.  As a counter to what she was being told by her mother. 
"If you love something, set it free, if it comes back to you it is yours".....blah blah blah.  You know the phrase.  Its pasted on a piece of shellacked pecan wood in the spare bedroom of your moms house.

What the plaque DOESNT say, is "If you love something, curse it and do everything you can to destroy it completely, and at the same time, tell your little girl that you still love, "it".  That, is just twisted.    

I used to watch the show Desperate Housewives, back in the day when all was right with the world.  I even used to discuss the previous night's episode with a guy I worked with. I liked it back then.   Of course I liked a lot back then.  Even so,  it had some interesting story lines and..............well we talked about  it while working, not sharing a hot tub together.  Lets let it go at that.
A few weeks ago the series finalle was on, and I watched it.
Seems one of the shows primary couples, Tom and Linette, were split up.  Seems Tom went and got himself a new and improved life partner, and even moved in with her, or verse-vice-a.  It also seems that despite this fact Linette still loved Tom, and ACTED like she did.   At the end of the show, Tom and Linette got back together in made for tv dramatic fashion, and lived happily ever after in our imaginations.
and I KNOW, the dots I connected with Lynettes actions, and Tom's Re-actions, weren't connected by anyone watching, except me.  I turned to my new and improved life partner and told her what I got out of the show, and she licked me.  Then I let her go outside to go pee.

The more I examine myself and what I think and believe, the more I realize how wrong Ive been and how much more I need to know.    But I know that I was on the right track, cuz I was moving.  You cant sit with your arms folded tightly and your mind folded even tighter, and expect to learn anything.
gotta keep moving.

evolving, so to speak.

Judo tactics in the War of The Roses.

Johnathan Kay wrote a book debunking in a very logical very intellectual way, conspiracy theories in the west.  His comments can be heard here.  http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/305586-1   Evidently its ok for Syrians or people in "that kind of a closed society" to believe that THEIR government is less than honorable, but here in the west, where we have an open and independent media, its a preposterous concept.   Basically, its nothing more than
"theres nothing to see here folks, there is nothing behind the curtain to see, just move along and believe what you are told."  ANY thought regarding reality, that is anything other that what we are told by our government and/or our media sources, is silly nonsense.  One can't even inspect or research any ideas other than mainstream, because to do so is wacked-out idiocy.  To entertain ideas  other than mainstream, IS other than mainstream, and that can only be categorized as loony.  Insane.  Mal-adjusted irrational unbalanced unhealthy conspiracy theories.  
I have posted a lot of thoughts here in the past few years.  A lot of things that amateurs have tried to debunk, and others have tried to discredit me for.  Ok, more than tried.  Just giving to  others what I have posted here  to READ is enough to discredit me in some circles.   To believe what I have written and purport to believe is evidence enough  for 99.999% of people in America today.   Most of the stuff I've written about is easily debunked, for people that want to debunk it.   For non-believers that is.  As I have stated on numerous occasions building seven was the lynchpin of paradigm shifts for me, and there is no government or media evidence to change my mind regarding it.  At least none that I have seen.   And anyone who knows me knows that I too poo-poohed 9-11 conspiracy theories up until just a few years ago.   Vehemently. The evidence and facts surrounding building seven at ground zero, things like  the BBC reporter reporting building seven has collapsed on live tv, while building seven still stood in the background in her video report, make it insane FOR ME, to believe that what we were told, is the truth.  You can't look at the evidence and conclude, UNLESS YOU WANT TO BELIEVE WHAT YOU WERE TOLD, that it was in fact, truth.
As with most conspiracy theorists, my train of thinking evolved from the "well if they lied to us about (X), then what ELSE are they lying to us about???   Once you stick your  head down the proverbial rabbit hole, there really is no turning back. All bets are off and everything is open to inspection and re-thinking.  
I have written on false flags, 9-11,  and eeeeevil conspiracies of all types sizes and origins.   A few who read my opinions, out of the few who actually do, have attempted to debunk with easily googled-retorts.  It didnt work.  They went back to their corner of reality where everything is as they  believe and are told it is, and I went back to my reality of "holy frick.  what IF....."  
In the video debate (C-SPAN) that I linked above, webster tarpley detailed WHY the conspiracy theory of 9-11 isn't as preposterous as people think it is.  BUT, it won't matter.   It is so very hard to flip that switch that changes EVERYTHING in one's life.   Everything.  Trust me, I know.  Its safer and cozier in la-la land, where one does and believes what they are told, where life is as its always been. 
I am writing this here and now because my beliefs and my posts here, are going to be used in an attempt to discredit me, as a father and as a rational thinking human being.   
In typical mob mentality fashion, presenting what I write and believe, and then saying ANYTHING one feels like saying, makes what they are saying more credible, and me less so.   "lookit what he wrote here!!! THEN he said and did........"
See how it works?   
I'm BEGGING for this to be brought up, and in case you didn't notice, my mind is a veritable cornucopia of information,  filled with a zillion lit wires and lightbulbs pointing  in a zillion different directions, yet all somehow connected.  I DARE you to bring this up.  I don't need google or wikileaks to respond to questions or accusations, the magazine is locked and loaded and ready to go.   And so am I.
You won't listen to the interviews on the link I posted here, because there is facebook to update and angry birds to play and dancing with the stars to watch.   So yet again, you don't know what you're getting into.   All you know is what you are told.  
Yeah yeah yeah.  You still think I'M the crazy one.  Lemme ax you sumtin. 
What religion do you belong to?  I mean, what church, denomination, or sub-demonination do you belong to? 
Christianity?  Catholic? Evangelical?
So you believe that a 40 somethin year old man was bethrothed to a 15 year old girl, the girl became miraculously preggers, the old man bought the story, because of a visit from a magical being in a dream?   The baby grew up to perform miracles and teach people about God in the sky?  He also talked about, and TO, so called "demonic" beings affecting and inhabiting other peoples??  That he was killed than he came back to life and walked around for 40 days and then was whisked up into the sky???    That the earth is supposedly only 6 or so thousand years old, and that The God who is the father of the baby born under miraculous circumstances made EVERYTHING in 6 days!?!?!?!?!?    That 2 people named adam and eve were the beginning of human beings on earth, and of their first two offspring, one killed the other??????   WHO did they breed with to populate the earth????  Why did adam cry out to The God because he was scared of WHO was outside the garden,  when The God ordered him out of the garden of eden???  Who WHO?!?!?  He and his wife were the only ones around!!!
YOU subscribe to THAT, and you call ME, crazy?  Or is it because you don't believe EVERYTHING about the church or religious denomination you belong to.  You BELONG to it, but you pick and choose what you believe about it.  Or more likely, you don't THINK about what it is you purport to believe in.  You hold a general "god is a nice benovolent Uncle-kinda guy in the sky who we turn to when we need a raise or a vacation or cancer cured or when buildings get hit by planes".     You know,  god.  You know, what EVERYBODY believes in about god.  What won't get you ostracised or laughed at or criticized or banned from facebook.  
You may go to a church and go through the motions and hope for the best and even DO your pretty close to good enough, best.  Most catholics under 50 or 60 have NEVER believed in the catholic church's stance on birth control, or even sex for that matter.  Yet they remained catholics.  I guess they(we) knew better than the designers of the faith.  Or at least that denomination. 
Huh.   You came to a different conclusion than what you were told.  By officials.   I suspect its because sex feels so dammed good and it CAN'T be something a uncle-kinda-guy-in-the-sky-we-turn-to would EVER label a BAD thing, right???  So we came to a different conclusion because it affected us so dammed personally.  And it feels so good. 
Amazing what influences our decisions. 
We can't take shampoo or bottled water on an airplane, for our safety. We  have to take our shoes off and have your naked body viewed by less than professional, officials of the government, for our safety.  Pretty soon, as per statements and proclomations by official homeland security officials, we are ALL going to be subjected to intrusive extreme levels of inspection, to enter shopping malls and bus terminals and sports arenas..........all in the name of our safety. 
And all of this is because of 9-11.  Yet to link the idiocy of the former with the latter, is considered lunacy.  Kinda like virgin birth stories and angel and demon stories, heyna?  Its a good thing homeland security doesn't outlaw sex.  THEN the enlightment would begin in earnest in this country.
So we moderate our beliefs.  A little of this, a little of that..........and we have OUR faith.  At least one that we can kinda sometimes unless it interferes with our goals, adhere to.  
Oh, you don't have a faith?  At least not one lumped into a major religion category?
Oh, you're one of the really enlightened folks, arentcha??
The faith of goodness of people or at least, SMART people.  The ones who sit around big wooden tables on sunday mornings sipping coffee and discussing enlightened ideas. 
Doesn't matter.  One cancer diagnosis usually turns enlightened believers in the goodness of mankind, into pretty strong believers in a good uncle in the sky, god religion. 
Doesn't matter.  Pick a religion.  ANY religion.   Muhammed married a 9 year old.  Waited till she was 12 to have sex with her, but he married her when she was in 2nd grade.  (oh fer cryin out loud you KNOW what I mean).  Buddha named his son garbage.  And Buddah never claimed to be anyone or anything.  It'd be like naming Dick Clark a god and studying all of his wonderful philosophies, if he had any.  Point is, Dick Clark never claimed to be a god. 
Pick a religion any religion, and I can pick it apart for you believing in it.
And if you are an atheist, then you're the stupid-est of the bunch, because to not believe in anything, is the stupid-est belief of all.  Yeah, humans are a hundred zillion years old and we haven't wiped ourselves out yet.  The 6,000 year old scenario seems more realistic when you look at how we seem so hell-bent on destroying each other. 6,000 years seems to be a stretch of the imagination when it comes to humans allowing other humans to exist on earth.  Oldest civilization on earth is the Chinese, and they ENSLAVE their citizens.  
Yeah.  Evolution.  Thats it.

So there you have it.  You're as crazy as I am, maybe moreso.  Or, you don't even really know what it is you believe about what you believe.  At least I know and can talk about what I believe.  Most of you would never state what it is you believe, for moderations sake.  To not offend or appear to be an extremist.  To not stand out. I'm not like you.  
We (you) live for what we (you) are told to live for.  The weekend.  Vacations.    Holidays that are for "families getting together".   Retirement at the end of the long green line.   Or our children. 
Sounds reasonable. And of course we go to church sometimes  and pray when its 4th and goal and like I said, when we get a cancer diagnosis. 

There is nothing crazier in what I have posted here, about anything, than there is about the so called faith you so called believe in.   The only difference is, I know more about both what I have written about, and what you supposedly believe in.  And I dont have a church full of like minded believers to hide behind.   Not on some of the so called conspiracy  stuff.
