Random Reflections Pt.20

86. Seen on a bag of chicken. “Genuine Amish Chicken. Call ***-***-**** with questions or complaints.”

No Amish people I know of have phones.

87. Time is the most valuable commodity in existence. It’s how we measure out lives. Each moment exists only once. They belong to us to trade away as we see fit. We can never have them back, never call a do over. It is up to us to use our life as we see fit.

As my dad once told me, “Each day is like a new hand of poker, but you never how tall your pile of chips is.”

88. Somewhere on the order of 12 states are now mandating STD vaccines (which have the side effect of possibly preventing some kinds of cancer, which can be caused by licentious behavior) for 6th grade girls. One state’s governor even issued an executive order requiring them, because the legislature didn’t want to pass the bill for fear of risking the ire of parents.

First and foremost, I will decide what gets put it my child’s body, thank you very bloody much. Your suggestions may receive some consideration, but in the end, it’s not up to you. If you feel so strongly on the issue, come and try it yourself.

If you can’t figure out why I might object to such things, look at the market demographics for such products, and see if you can produce a coherent thought on the process.

*sigh* Yet another reason to homeschool your kids.

89. The state of Maryland has, in the past year, suspended 28 kindergarteners for indecent behavior, including what they classify as felony harassment of their classmates. Inappropriate touching topped the list of offenses.

They’re 5 years old and younger, for the love of money! They’re like bloody kittens – put a bunch of them in a room and they’ll wind up in a scrum, and after that, they’ll all fall asleep in a pile. Their brain functions have just barely moved past the “lie in our own mess and scream for food stage” they don’t know that what they’re doing now will be wrong for them to do in TEN YEARS, or on the job in FIFTEEN. They’re CHILDREN, they don’t know any better!

I’d probably be locked up for all the crap I did when I was 5, if’n I was in Maryland. Made the neighbors laugh for dang sure though.

They thought it was cute.

90.It was provided for in the United States Constitution that Congress must meet for at least one day a year.

Imagine that! They thought Congress would have so little to do that they wrote a passage FORCING them to meet and discuss the nation once a year.

Our current Congressional sessions are what, 190 days long, give or take? And we still moan about how little they’re doing, how much time they spend on vacation.

Therefore, I would like to propose that they retain their current salary and go back to the old schedule. I’ll even pay MORE, to have them do less than 1% of their current duties.

Like Harry Browne said “Government should be small enough to fit in my kitchen, and even that’s a little too big for comfort.”
