People are idiots

Little bothers me more than people who try to attribute human characteristics to animals. I take that back, a lot bothers me more than that, but it still bothers me. And I am not talking about those who say "Oh, he's so cute, he wants to give her a kiss." I am talking about those people who insist that animals have deep, meaningful thoughts as if they were living in a Disney cartoon. For example, some guy takes some pictures of a dead bird and another bird that tries to "come save" the dead bird. Well, turns out the other bird was just trying to come, ie a bird expert notes that these are copulation pictures. Well, the viewers are like, How do you know, How can you PROVE that these birds weren't experiencing more, etc etc. It bothers me how desperate these people are to hold onto this fantasy of what the real world is like and how they will lash out at those who challenge that. Of course they probably would say the same thing about me.

But I am the one who is right.

I know of two Congressmen that need to have a swift kick to the head

So they want to spend federal money on protecting pets. How many people could have been saved if this had been done before, they ask, in referring to the idiots who stayed behind because of their pets. My answer - does it matter how many people who put their lives at risk for a poodle are saved? Aren't we better off not encouraging people to put their possessions before their safety? Next they will want to make provisions that federal dollars should be spent on planning how to get people to evacuate who don't want to leave their crystal animal collection behind.

Arrrggh... I guess I just don't get pet people. Sure, take a moment and put the poodle in a purse and take it with you, scoop your guppies into a bag and take them with you, whatever. But if you might die by staying, how does that help your pets?

Stop giving money to those starving kids!!!!

I consider my self a faily learned individual. However, I have never even heard of Eritrea, a country in Africa. However, Eritrea and Ethiopia have had some border conflicts in the past. Well, it appears that Ethiopia (which I can't spell for the life of me) is restarting some conflict. Since when does Ethiopia have enough resources to fight a war? Seems that they are directing money away from developing food stuffs to military. Maybe the land they are fighting over is fertile, but from my most recent look at the map, Ethiopia is HUGE and a village near the border should not draw you into war. Just my two cents. Which I am keeping for my cup of coffee rather than giving to the children.

Of course I have never understood the economics of giving money in foreign aide to country's that consistently fail to manage the money as we see fit.

It's Official!!!

I have been awarded, by Mr. Eager of the famous Karnopp law firm, the prestigous award of "worst blog ever". Okay, so he just sent me an email with a title of simply "you have the worst blog ever" but I will take that to be an award. I really don't have anything positive to blog about and I don't want to blog about the shit in my life. I am no longer dating a stripper, so its all sort of gone down hill since then.
