Does Anybody Not Want To Be President?

Can we end the madness?

I'm already sick of an election that's more then 9 months out. That's longer then it takes to make a baby. I don't want to hear about it anymore.

I don't care about the candidates because we don't have any yet. We have potential candidates. None of them actually matter until they are officially endorsed, and even then, they're all full of shit anyway.

Let's face it; politicians are full of shit. Anyone truly qualified doesn't want to run anyway. Why would you? It's a high stress job with lots of criticism and relatively little pay. The only type of people who want to be president are glory seekers looking to seal their place in the history books, and quite frankly, if that's their motivation, they shouldn't be president anyway.

The only people qualified to be president are the ones who don't want the job. The best leaders have always been people with no intentions of glory. Sadly, they just don't seem to want to campaign for the job they don't want.

So when you go to vote, vote for someone who doesn't want to be president. Doesn't really matter who, since odds are your vote won't matter anyway.

Just Listen To The Whole Sentance

I'm sick of this shit with words.

I'm going to say it once and for all: there are no bad words.

Words can't be bad. Words are neutral. They have no good or bad inflection, only their intended meaning. A word by itself can't offend anyone, because there is no context.

It is the context that makes a word offensive. And I'm sick of words with no context being offensive. When I can't define the word cunt because people find it offensive, something needs to change.

Here's a little social experiment to try; find a white comedian willing to do the routine of a black comedian, word for word, and see what happens. Have the audience listen to both of them, and see what their reaction is. Same words, different context, different reaction.

It is when we forget about context that we open ourselves up to blind censorship. When a word is labeled as "bad" it can becomes banned without thought. But taking context into account forces people to think and be rational, and thinking, rational human beings are censorship's worst enemy.

So use those words labeled "bad," and when you're scolded for using them, simply explain the context. Anyone with half a brain stem should understand and not be offended.

And quite frankly, it is the people who cling to their political correctness that offend me the most.

The New Economy

It always seems like those destined to save society are the ones most shunned by it.

Previously, it was the intelligent. The nerds and geeks being shoved in gym class and never went to school dances are now some of the richest and most powerful men in the world. You think Bill Gates ever got laid in high school?

Yet today it is those people leading the country, and keeping our economy alive. In a world where anything can be made cheaper in a country without labor laws and then shipped here, it is the ultra-intelligent that keep us ahead of the rest of the world.

But this is changing.

The world is beginning to catch up. Other countries with far superior educational systems are coming up with technologies we aren't even close to. For the first time ever, GM is not the largest manufacturer of cars in the world. Toyota has passed GM as the leading producer of cars not due to their lower standards, but because of their inventions in hybrid technology.

So who will save us when the intelligent can not?

Well, now we will be saved by yet another shunned group.

The creative.

The creative class. The bohemians. Those people with tattoos all over their body who go to see shows and local bands. The people with artistic talent and design sense. The right-brainers.

Intellect can be trained from a young age, but you can't teach someone what makes a design appealing. You can't train creativity. It must be absorbed, through culture, something that America still has in spades.

And the artists will lead us into the next age of the American economy.

The Beauty Of The Internet

In my random wanderings through the inter-web, I happened upon this nifty little flow chart.


At first glance, I was delighted! Finally, someone has replaced Rock, Paper, Scissors! At yet a closer examination offers only trouble.

Aside from the obvious fact that ninjas could beat all of them, there are more technical issues with this flow chart of awesomeness. A pirate drowning a robot?! Pure idiocy. No pirate could drown a robot, because robots don't breathe! Well, except for lame robots.

And while I have no doubt that a ninja could defeat a zombie, decapitating a zombie would not work. It would only result in a animated severed head hungry for ninja flesh.

Despite this, I'm glad to see that this 5-point star of awesomeness exists. Yet my heart still yearns for the day when all of them are combined into one super creature to rule us all. That's right: The Monkey-Robot-Zombie-Ninja-Pirate.

You might ask: Besides really flippin' cool, what is The Monkey-Robot-Zombie-Ninja-Pirate?

To answer your query, it is quite obviously a robot modeled after a monkey specimen that is programed with martial arts skills that becomes infected with a virus that makes him crave human flesh after discovering that he loves to sail the high seas.

All I can say is that the Writer's Guild strike needs to end now so this masterpiece can be written, filmed, and receive its 12 Oscars.

Let The Evolution Begin

It's time to let the chips fall where they may.

Modern society has negated evolution. Modern medical science has coddled the weak and the sick, those that would normally be eaten or left behind to fend for themselves in the harsh jungle wilderness. Society has shifted.

We value brains, not brawn.

Now the threat does not come from the member of the pack who can't find his own food, but from the idiot who doesn't realize that coffee is hot and burns himself.

In the past, these outcasts would have been exiled from the tribe or eaten by whatever predators thought they looked tasty, but now they are catered to. The lowest common denominator has come to defile us all, dragging us down with petty lawsuits and seatbelt laws.

Here's an idea: If you're dumb enough to not wear a seat belt, you deserve to get hurt in an accident. If you lack the cognitive skills to realize the beverage in your lap could burn you, you deserve to be burned. Maybe then you'll learn.

Or maybe you'll die. Who cares. Species just got stronger.

Our physical evolution has become irrelevant, but our social evolution must continue.

We live in a society where people with IQ's of under 100 breed four times as fast as people with IQ's over 100. We also live in a society where majority rules.

Something needs to be done. We must stop coddling the fools who are dragging down the sinking ship.

It's time to cut them loose.
