Homosexual rights are not as simple as just saying we are protecting the individual’s rights to be part of society. In the USA there is a big political movement that wants to skew civil life in their favor. In other words they want to be in charge of society. Before the last congressional election in America I wrote about the state of California government debating a law that would require public school teachers to discuss the transsexual and homosexual lifestyle with children as young a...

An interesting note was reported in Yahoo news titled Mexico apologizes for Miss USA jeers. The article states,”A Mexican tourism official issued an apology for the jeers aimed at Miss USA in May during an international beauty contest in Mexico City.” In addition, the story reminds us that “Rachel Smith, the U.S. entrant into the Miss Universe competition, was booed by some of the audience after she slipped and fell during an evening-gown competition. Her fall and the audience reaction br...

Where will Americans land on the race to space. We know that Americans were the first to the moon and the first with a space shuttle. Other than that the Russians hold the other records. Russians were the first in space and they have the record for the longest stay in space. This does not mean that the Americans are not do anything. A lot of science is conducted in the space shuttle missions. However, I think Americans are frontiersmen and do not like doing what has already been don...

The following quote is from an article on the msnbc web site which only lists the Assocaited Press as the author. The title is L.A. police to video major incidents after clash and subtitled Protest in May leads department to remind officers to stay on best behavior. "Officials hope the cameras will provide a record of what happened and serve as a reminder for officers to be on their best behavior." I find the quote interesting because we all know that police everywhere abuse and violat...

It is believed that 1.7 million americans earn $5.15 an hour. These people tend to word in fast food, hotels/motels, other restuarants, gorciery stores, wharehouse, pizza devliery and other low paying industries. Look at what you are paying now and what you will pay after the wage increase and you will see the price of hotels, rental cars, and pizza go up. Now people who are earning better than minimun wage won't have to modify their life because of these increases. However, the peopl...

These are my two pesos in the global warming debate. Today I will write about how wrong the “Global Warming” crowd is in their argument. I will base my argument on radiant energy, vaporization, condensation, and air currents. Radiant energy is the energy from the sun. This energy affects landmasses different then it does bodies of water. The surface temperature of rock is going to be hotter then the surface temperature of water. When radiant energy travels over any water molecules...

This is not the time to gloat. I have been saying that Americans would change their opinion about the war on terrorism a second after the next terrorist attack on America. There are many of us that would prefer people grow up way before another innocent American looses his or her life. However, the events in London fuel my need to remind people that we are dealing ruthless and bloodthirsty killers who want the world under their control. I do not want to be forced to pray five times a ...

I can answer most of the questions people have about the actions of the law enforcement involved in the shootings of Monday April 16, 2007. Before I do let me throw my credentials on the table. I have a B.A. in psychology and a B.S. in psychology. In addition, I worked in the security industry for 10 years, seven and half in a for profit hospital. First, thing I am going to tell you, you do not want to hear. All organizations and/or companies try to keep cost of security departments ...

I think it that it is horribly wrong to judge a person in a negative way just because he does something every day people do everyday. In my opinion, Mr. Imus just used words that I am sure those basketball players from Rutgers, their coaches, the school adminsitrators, and many others use on a regualr basis. In addition, if the african-american civil rights movement is going to vest its argument of oppression and discrimination by a WASP maojirty on the comments of a fool, then ,in my o...

I don't even need ms word to write this entry. A long time ago I coined the term 'retardation nation" to describe entertainment products like Little Man and Taladega Nights. It refers to a bunch stupid spoofs done by characters that spend their time laughing like retards. Therefore, reason number one that I won't watch the so called Oscars is that American entetainment has become nothing but la bunch of aughing and drooling retards showing as much of their rears and breast as they can....

Does this guy actually think we are this stupid? This question comes about from hearing the troubles Terrell Owens is going through and his attempt at explaining it in a manner that covers up an obvious distressed soul. Mr. Owens we live in a society were grade school students know that vitamin supplements can not react with pain killers in a manner that would jeopardize a person’s life. The mere fact that you would try to use this supposed reaction as an excuse shows what little opi...

This is more a message of heart then a need to inform or win a debate. The news stories about American soldiers deliberately killing Iraqi citizens with out just cause have troubled my soul. Let me say that these are the acts of specific individuals committing specific acts. I have had the opportunity to interact with American soldiers and I do not find the majority as vile savages. My concern with military people is many take on the personality of I should be revered because I am...

What people do not understand is that there is no law enforcement in Mexico. Yes there are people wearing the uniforms. However, they do what they want. In Mexico, you have to fear the police and military more than the every day street criminal. In my opinion this is due to the fact that money runs the country. The elected officials are concerned about how they can fatten their bank accounts. They usual steal from the people or take bribes. Oversight and prope...

Okay maybe writing is not that hard after all. My first though in the Judge Alito fiasco is one of celebration and gloating. The republicans are pushing a supreme court candidate for judge down the democrats throats and there is nothing they can do about it. However, I realize that this a serious issue and warrants serious attention. The only thought after meditating on the matter is that we do not need another government lackey who will do the bidding of his political allies. There is alread...
