Well I made it through that bitter week with my sanity
intact and my tear ducts completely exercised for the year. And that's all I
really want to write about that...
I am righteously pissed off about what happened the
beautiful country of Norway this weekend. Being of Norwegian descent myself, I
feel especially punched in the gut knowing that the perpetrator was Norwegian
himself. Angry young man can do stupid things when they get enough of ideological
hot air pumps between their ears by people who talk out of their asses for a
living. As more information from Oslo comes in, it becomes more and more
apparent that he did this out of some need to satisfy his far right wing
conservative Christian view of the world.
But what he didn't know (and all dipshit extremist sociopaths
seem to miss out on this one) was that whatever position he may have had on
things, nobody cares. He shot innocent children who were spending a day in camp
on one of the most beautiful islands in Scandinavia. His sociological and
political views could solve every single problem humanity has, but now because
he's a murdering lowlife cockroach, humanity could give two shits what his
views are. Societal change has never, is never, and will never be enacted
because some dickhead decides to get violent one day. Nobody looks at the
rubble and the mangled bodies and says to themselves "WOW….well, you know
this here bomber has a pretty good point, we ARE a bit too liberal in our ways…”.
Because that would just be stupid…
Oh wait….
One of the most debated and repeated quotes since the 9/11
Attacks™ has been one from Benjamin Franklin who said:
"Those who would exchange their liberty for security, deserve neither, and will lose both”.
And
I really hope that the Norwegian people take this quote to heart in the
upcoming weeks and months. We Americans didn't heed Franklin's warning, and now
the noose of the police state is slipping ever tighter around the neck of the
average American citizen. Norway has been one of the most peaceful and truly
free nations since the end of World War II. In fact, nowhere in Norway has seen
violence like this since World War II. I really hope they don't throw it away
because some religious freak decided to butcher a bunch of innocents in order
to get some harebrained political message across.
And speaking of harebrained political messages… I have been
thinking about restarting my other political blog more and more lately. More
for an outlet to be able to vent on some of the stupidity (like this Norwegian
tragedy) than anything else. My only concern is offending those who might not
share my particular leanings and views as some of them could be viewed as
extreme as well. But I don't think violence is the answer to any problem,
especially when humor and sarcasm works so much better in the big picture
anyway. For those of never seen it, it has been mothballed since 2009 when I
came to the conclusion that neither Democrat nor Republican in the American
political system represent the needs of its people. It's a shell game, a puppet
show, WWE Smackdown performed by people in suits. And I think the new material
for the blog would represent this. If you're interested in reading some of my
ravings they can be viewed here. And if you think the blog is worth saving or
needs to be deleted for the greater good, go ahead and place your vote at the
poll I just posted today!
Looking forward to a great week!
