I Wish I Knew
The Muslim Scum Club is holding true to past performances, vile and cowardly. Near the town of Bazra they set off a road side bomb as a British Consulate convoy passed. Two civilian security consultants were killed. A little know insurgent group claimed responsibility on a widely used Muslim web site while at the same time expressing thankfulness to God for the fact they had been able to murder two more innocent people. God is not now nor has He ever been on the side of these vermin. They didn’t claim any particular message in what they did but I assume it would be something like this. You arrest fellow Muslims for attempting mass murder? How dare you? You did the right thing so we’ll kill some of your citizens!
Another homicide bomber blew himself up and killed five innocent people at a police check point in Baghdad. Twenty people were injured in the same attack. These fools claim they want the U. S. out of Iraq so they try and bring it about by killing their own people. Could there be anything more stupid? Another homicide bomber drove into a U. S. convoy near the city of Anbar and killed four of our Marines. Please pray for the families of these heroes.
Another hero has been killed for no other reason it appears than that he was an American. A DEA agent vacationing in Honduras was shot and killed by some juvenile gang members. He was not in the country doing work for his employer but rather was on vacation. He was shot while visiting a religious shrine. Please pray for this mans family also. He too had devoted his life to protecting the citizens of this country from an enemy as vile as the Muslim Scum Club. The police have arrested two juvenile suspects.
More and more doctors are turning towards drugs to help people kick drug and alcohol addictions. Some of the drugs being used were developed for the purpose of reducing the craving for chemicals or preventing the high they produce. Others in use are ones that have been around for years but created and approved for different uses. All of this sounds great and very promising but it does leave me with a question or two.
Whether alcohol or drugs, kicking a habit has always been a long and difficult process. These drugs promise to bring the same result without the lengthy withdrawals, that often came with a great deal of physical pain and emotional turmoil. I am not saying that either of these is a good thing but if one is “cured” of a habit by just taking a pill, will that person appreciate the freedom from chemicals they now have? It just seems to me that like anything else, being clean can best be appreciated when it has been earned, and not just handed to the addict on a silver platter.
The National Urban League recently did a study of Sunday morning talk shows and discovered that only 8% of the guests are African American. Stephanie Jones, the groups spokesperson says that this is the result of an exclusionary policy and calls it “Sunday morning apartheid.”
Is it just possible that there are so few black guests because there are not very many blacks in positions of influence right now? I don’t mean that blacks are not qualified for these positions, just that they don’t currently hold many of them. Condi Rice and Collin Powell make up a large percentage of the appearances by African Americans. As for other blacks they seem to have gone into medicine and the other sciences rather than politics.
Why is everything that seems to put African Americans in an apparent unequal position is automatically racist, rather than a result of simple facts that have nothing to do with race. If, as I suspect that blacks are not entering fields that put them in political positions of influence then how can they be represented in proportionate numbers on political talk shows?
The National Urban League would be far better off spending its time and resources on helping blacks see the benefits of a career in public service rather than whinning because they are being ignored when in reality it just isn’t the case. This country has enough problems without making them up out of thin air.
Technology continues to march forward bringing us closer and closer to a world resembling Star Trek. The latest thing is in the area of cell phones. They already play music, have text messaging, will connect you to the internet and retrieve your e-mail. Now they are making them that will replace your wallet. By putting in a special chip you will be able to wave it in front of a scanner and charge everything from fast food to movie tickets.
These phones are already in use in Japan and parts of Europe. I’m not sure I’m ready for them though. What happens when a system gets hacked or a malfunction occurs? I don’t think I’m strong enough to take opening my cell phone bill and finding out I owe 8 million dollars and now own the country of Botswana. Or, that I owe 32 million dollars because I supposedly spent a Sunday afternoon buying a Big Mac for all of Houston. No, until these systems are a lot more secure than they are now I’ll settle for doing no more than making phone calls with my cell phone. How’s that for radical?
Now, in closing let’s grab something from the really really stupid files. An 8 year old boy was recently charged with lewd conduct with a minor because his 14 year old baby sitter dared him to touch her breast during a game of truth or dare and he did.
Can you believe it? A fourteen year old bares her breast and dares her charge, the eight year old boy to touch them and he is the one charged with lewd conduct. Why, because the eight year old is male? Now that’s sexual discrimination! Fortunately the charges have since been dropped but the story points out just how stupid people can be at times. Granted, both kids did something they shouldn’t have, but by the time the boy fully understands just what he was involved in she won’t have to dare him to touch anything!
