Gradually degenerating into ignorance and complacency.

Simple Solution to repeat criminals

Kill them on the spot! What is the purpose in tracking them down to hold them, pay for their court hearing, trial, defense, incarceration, appealing ... in all appalling. I'd say it is now criminal season.

Step one: know criminal

Cerpicio interjects> Um...please define "criminal." Shoplifter? Speeder? Under-aged drinker?
[response]: the example given (link) was child rapist killer abductor. Let us at least start there.

Step two: find criminal
Step three: kill criminal
leave criminal lie dead or dying

I frankly don't care if an old nun driving a Vatican van runs over him or if a circular saw woker hacks off a leg, whereupon the criminal bleeds to death. The manner and haste of his death is immaterial. Criminals should die, fast or slow, just die. The dead tend not to commit crimes.

Sad coincidence

a student graduating from middle school has the name of Eric Cartman. He wasn't heavy, but the burden of his name is. Sad turn of events. Had it not been for the rude cartoon, this common and real name would not have risen any eyebrows when announced.

Blogging not jogging

has contributed to my weight. Also, I blog too much
not to be confused with Beavis', "I poop too much" -- from Do America

July 4th, renewed, redo'd

Indiana has repealed its idiotic law prohibiting explosive fireworks. I'm not in favor of blanket immunity, but neighboring states were, for decades, getting money from Indiana residents who traveled there to get sophisticated bang bangs. The yahoo idiots nearby, surely have high explosive works that they light and watch while guzzling local cheapo beers like Bud (and its kin), Miller (and its kin), and even more repulsive beers like Pabst, Old Style, etc.

Fat, drunk, stupid, jobless, helpless, hopeless ... is no way to go through life (hiccup, burp).

I'll check on fire clauses on the house insurance, as this year it might be wise to reanalyze the full scale of it.

Bombs bursting in air

gave proof through the night that hillbillies live near,  What is special about June 6, 2006 for them?  It was equally important as June 11, 2005 and December 22, 2005.
 
Fools are firing off ruddy fireworks.  Were they to argue that they weren't hillbillies, I might ask, "So.  Mr. Driesedale is out on Tuesday 1 a.m. firing off fireworks then is he?"
 
Gee Yogi, I don't think the park ranger's going to like this!

Parking at graduation

I had to park in Tahiti; or a lot next to a lot, next to a lot next to the school.  A traffic controller there suggested that I try parking at a different school.*  I was 2 minutes late entering the gymnasium where it was held.
 
 
 
* the school was across the very busy road

Walmart meets Roswell

to summarize ... is it real or National Equirer? Purchasable cloned hybrid new species with genetically programmed lifespan. Uh ... I'm still betting on bul____, but it wouldn't shock me to find that it was in the works.

Motivation

Motivational songs, lyrics, poems. During a graduation ceremony, they awarded students with 11.0 or higher for 3 years in middle school a special award in reocognition of a teacher who passed awy in 1999. Ultimately, with the theme of 11.0 or higher, grades are what are important to that. My motivation, Iron Maiden, Die with Your Boots On. Why such a song -- well, if you're going to die -- die fighting, prepared, putting your best efforts in your last breath. I'm not saying that you should want to exit Earth early, but if you fight to live -- achieve, you're more likely to be happier.

Graduation 2006

I get to experience this many times over this year ... neices and a nephew are graduating this year from high school and middle school (2 each).

I attended a neice's middle school graduation and when they passed it all out at the end, each student got a box. I was thinking in my head, "what's in the box?" (Brad Pitt voice here)

Rebel with man flaws

some person yells, "I want gay rights ... and lefts, and ups and downs, and back and forths, and maybe side to sides, or something or other, but I want em!!"
 
What the argumenter fails to see is:
Were a company to voluntarily carry insurance (also dependant on insurance company) on a life partner it would:
1. appear to condone the acts, which may lead to problems that it could otherwise avoid
2. assume a higher liability (based on statistical data -- skewed) on sexually related diseases (SIDS), but as a corollary be more likely not to have children to cover
2.a. unless it covers itself (CYA order) by declining pre-life partner dependants -- as their lifestyle now is non-procreative by natural means
 
Assumptions are that there is a chain of people trying to get people on the gay band wagon -- come on in and join.  I understand that some aren't really making a choice to engaging in their love for same-sex persons (as people might argue this point -- name more than ten guys who wouldn't engross themselves in lesbian sex, or women who feel comfrotable around men who seek men, but are social with women).
 
I find disturbing is the jump on in crowd who tries it just to be "fashionable".  Either you are interested or not interested.  To quote a skit from Mad TV, "If you think you're gay, then you're gay!" (to the tune of If You're Happy and You Know It)
 
Look -- civil unions are for non-traditional marriages, which works.  If you believe God condones your marriage and blesses it ... then great for you.  I don't make those decisions and wouldn't want that job.
I would have to say that humans are generally stupid, using little of what they are given in that laws are written for the stupid in mind.  There are stupid law sites with laws on the books, many are unenforced, but on the books.  In some states, it had to be written that humans and non-humans could not marry.  If you need that law, you need a law stating that what marriage is, while differing in many religions, what the nation accepts as a marriage.  This is important as some peoples and cultures recognize poligamists, whereas the US, by federal law, does not recognize mroe than one spouse.

Where there is food there is life

There is no grand philosphy statement with such a grand opening, but rather that when you offer bird seed, you'll get critters that eat seed, like birds, squirrels, chipmunks (burrowing critters that ruin cememt walkways) and critters that feed upon them, and so on. There are birds here and I see a large population of robins. On occasion, you get a chance to see little babies. I will post a picture soon of the little heads, mouths agape at the nest. The mother is none-to-keen on observers of the nest. I expect white mess on me for my efforts.

Where the seed is, there are chipmunks -- three presently, with two already sent to a river home -- over the bridge and to a park near the river. They are away -- away. It appeared that I might have sent one each male and female. No sexism intended, but it's better to send a female -- as they are the bearers and caretakers of the litter/brood.

Giggly next door

Neighbors next door have two children growing fast -- well, normal, but they seem to be growing fast. Daughter (to maintain anonymity) talks little to me, be greets me well and giggles and laughs to unspoken jokes. She's sweet! Son (also nameless here) speaks more, but his language is weaker as he is younger than the daughter.

By the way on the highway


I have included this sign with its intentional humor. "Eat here and get gas"

I missed the chance to photograph the other side, as I was driving and passengers might wonder why I stopped to shoot the sign along US 28 in Central Indiana; "Stop Drop Roll". Yeah. I'm on fire, driving down the highway, wondering what I should do. Thank goodness there's a sign there to help my situation!

Trek vs Wars

While I grew up a Star Wars trekkie, I am not on the lunatic fringe of costume wearing or convention going -- while singluarly those aren't bad, together tthey tend to show the foundations of a weak character / personality ... that being disclosed, here:
 
I remember it was cool in Star Wars ('76) when they developed a weapon to obliterate a planet, with the unwieldly weapon of a moon-sized space station.  In Star Trek Deep Space 9, as I have been watching with MR, there seems to be a genocidal tendency, prediliction for complete and hasty anihilation through a planet's destruction, of which, in few episodes they mentioned has happened.  Apparently it doesn't take more firepower than all of the star cruisers, etc. to destroy a planet, if it is so seemingly routine.

Drinking Space 9

The characters are always drinking, be it alcohol or coffe, but no one ... no one drinks water!

A character in the show, almost always drinking had significant cosmetic surgery and becmae blind -- you'd think from the drinking, but no -- from reading. What sort of values is the show trying to impress? I now know why it is considered fiction

Allen County seeks dry spell

Actually, a this point, it doesn't matter if it comes from a wand, incantation or magic beans. We have had lots, lots, lots, lots, lots of rain. Now. If I were an enterprising man, seeking to extort money from the desperate, like homeowners who want their lawns cut low, I could rake in tons of money. Until the monsoon season ends, wet we shall be. My car, with windows down, was bathed internally while I was away. Lovely, simply lovely.

Mad landscaping


Dig ... pull, set ... it's days in the making. I was clearly outdone by Dave.

Crossing the Gulf without a paddle

In my experience, I have had a chance to review education, as typtified by a middle-sized city and the quarks and limitations set by law, regionally, locally, federally.

Ultimately, with some effort you can see the gulf (like that of Mexico) between continents. While it is shorter/smaller than either ocean, it is a long way. You seek to find a way to get from Florida to Buenos Aires, but you haven't a paddle. So this is typical education. There are meetings, ideas and wonderful ideas on crossing the gulf on floatila without a paddle, a modern enginless boat without a paddle; outsourcing the hand water stroking to another person (country or privatized company), but nothing has worked.

Realistically, all the theories still resolve nothing because of a lack of innovation and the funds to carry out real education for all. No, not just throwing money at it, but without funidng, it dies.

More analogies: You're in Florida and need to get to Buenos Aires. You can't walk on water. You are now without paddles. You could spend $20 on paddles, then rent/make a boat and cross the gulf in a course of a month, with aid brought to you by chance passersby. A cleverer way would be to load up everyone on a plane and take off across the gulf and land, but it's costly and carries only a few persons (tens-hundreds) at a time. You could bypass the gulf, go through Central then parts of South America to get there -- still time consuming. You could charter a cruise liner and haul many people there in a few days.

I think the plan to build a bridge -- "bridging the gulf" (of achievement) is an idea that could not work the way it is now.

1. Can everyone, does everyone need to go to Buenos Aires?
2. Hauling people there, having them changed little for their journey -- except for poorer and fatter, but none the richer seems a poor choice too
3. Forcing each person to row their way there seems too cruel, so ...

Option 4
Assist only as needed, like a marathon. The runners are running to a goal, for their own reasons, finishing where they can. Not every runner finishes, and ultimately only a few finish within the top, and there is someone who finishes faster, because of training, because of natural abilities. Others, who tried are none-the-worse for their efforts. Their names are unknown, but they have tried and accomplished something others can't, won't and don't. They have finished what they could, assisted as needed on their run, by drink tables, snack talbes, medical aids, but not one person picked up a racer and forced them to run further. They ran because they chose to run.

A cold hard fact is: if you don't run, you achieve nothing. It doesn't matter if you aren't the fastest, aren't the strongest, or have the greatest stamina or best timing with your stride. There are one-legged runners who perform, and perform better than two-legged runners. There are deaf runners, blind runners -- these don't stop them from trying. You lose if you don't try. No gain nothing, are spared "defeat" only in that you didn't run, now left to only wonder -- to watch it from the side. There is no glory, no free drinks, snacks, no crowds to cheer you, despite the fact that you're in last place -- cheered on to finish, just as the final winner.

To get education to each person, money is needed.
1. to assist, only when needed
2. to provide anything that the person could no otherwise obtain
3. support, so that when the person tires and cannot legitimately finish, then they aren't shamed into a closet
4. each person knows that not working, weakens the self
5. while the participant's goal may not be Buenos Aires, but simple the Keys, they are supported to get there too.
6. some obstacles (parents, peers, commmunity) would be extricated for better success for all

Germanfest weather



or whether or not, looks grim this year with weather. It appears it is the high of the 8-year cycle of local rain. Around four years from now, 2010/11 we will have the driest summer. It is now, wet, wet, wet, monsoon season here, and I'd rather see that long-forgotten yellow ball in the sky known as the sun.

Germanfest will run with a canopy over the party, but still -- hot, humid air makes for bitter people, regardless the fun of the event.
My father was three quarters German, my Mum was around half German, making me mostly German, however born in America, fourth generation born American.
