Facebook and the Silly Season

My attempts at staying away from Facebook have been pretty spotty.  I foolishly turned "On" email notifications for family... which constantly sucked me back into FB.  So now I've turned that off, I won't be seeing the word "Facebook" twenty or thirty times a day in my email, and so, I hope, I won't be quite so tempted to go there and waste time and get annoyed at politics and sports and kittens.  I imagine if anything really exciting happens in family-land someone will eventually let me know about it somewhere other than FB, then I can go look and see.  Yeah, right. 

The "Silly Season" is in full swing now, ballots and Voter's pamphlets and vote YES and vote NO cards with no actually useful information on them are pouring through the mails, wasting vast resources, killing numberless trees and deceiving people into believing they actually can have some impact on the government.  I'm very happy to say that for the first time since 1974 I am not participating in any way!  It feels good to officially withdraw my implied consent by not voting, or even being registered to vote.  When we moved last year I was disgusted enough by the political system that when the time came to change my address and register to vote in Tracy, I tossed the card into the trash and said "A pox on both your houses!"

Playing with Max is way better than sports or politics or wasting time on Facebook.  Just saying :-)

NBC anti-life?

I would boycott NBC, if I ever watched it that is. I actually never watch anything on the old line networks, NBC, CBS, ABC, FOX. Everything I watch is on the cable only stations... do they still broadcast over the air? Ah well, this story is about the fact that it seems NBC refused to air an ad put together by some Catholic outfit that features an embryo and all of the hardships it faced in early life ending up with the revelation that they were talking about Obama. Here is the ad , check it out and see how unoffensive it is. Like I said, if I watched them I'd quit now. :-/

Viva California! USA out of California Now!

Gene Veith points to a Russian who predicts the breakup the American Empire. Gene is somehow unaware of the dozens of secessionist movements in various states. Granted they are almost all small but still, they exist and this could be a good time for us. Those who know me already understand that I'm a California Nationalist who I doesn't think California should have joined those united States in the first place. Being a part of that empire just costs us money, we get nothing in return. These days we get to be hated by foreigners for being Americans and mocked by Americans for being Californians. Getting us out of the US yesterday would be a day too late as far as I'm concerned.

Government = Violence

What it comes down to is this, any law you propose states this, I will kill you if you do not agree to do "X." I say this because ALL laws say this. All . Jay walking is a "crime." So, what does that mean? It means if you jay walk you risk death at the hands of government enforcers. How so? You are accosted while jay walking by the local police. You say, "Buzz off bucko!" The cop says "you are under arrest!" You say "Not even." They attempt to restrain you and you resist, you are now "resisting arrest" and in the process of subduing you force will be used to make you to comply. The harder you resist the more likely "they" are to simply kill you. All laws imply deadly force. All laws = the death penalty. Of course they won't say you are being killed for the "crime" of jay walking, but for resisting arrest or attempting to escape or whatever, but really it's the original "crim
