A Little Personal Rant-Off

Today, I was looking at my visitor, reader, and subscriber numbers. I combed over the fact that one third of my visitors come from Twitter, as well as another third are coming from other social sites. I am amazed by the one third coming from Twitter, just because I really haven't seen any replies or direct messages (in Twitter) pertaining to my posts. Let's not get into the lack of comments on my posts, because I haven't seen any since I left Facebook.

On to a real post.

Upon looking at some news out of the San Francisco Bay Area, I am thinking that this is a move for more of a police state. There was a huge police shoot out on I-580 in Oakland, to the shooting death of a prospective Google employee, I think these are going to be the perfect ammo (pun intended), for an all out gun ban, either in the Bay Area, or throughout California. I really love the people that I affectionately call "stupids." They may not have any mental incapacitates, they could be completely capable of logical thought. It's usually tied completely to their inability to act like a normal human being. They go through life acting as though they only have use of their lizard brain, and choose not to utilize their logical abilities. It is these people who ruin our way of life. They are the reason that our governmental overlords feel as though they need to enforce the "Nanny State." I, personally, blame the stupids of every community for killing off our rights, and annihilating our personal freedoms. The stupids can't raise their children, the government can! The stupids can't keep their lives in order, the government can! You get the point.

I could call them idiots, but they aren't. They are perfectly capable of handling every aspect of their daily lives on their own. It really isn't physically difficult, nor is it rocket science. It's something that people have been doing for thousands of years. But it's this sort of stupidity that has opened up the hole for the government to feel as though it needs to be filled. A hole that entitles the government to take you as their ward. Congratulations, people. You are now the equivalent of a fucking child.

So, what now? It's a hell of a lot harder to back out of the garage, now that you've driven through it, and into the neighbor's pool. How do we fix the mess that we and our parents have gotten us into? We could blame our grandparent's generation, as well. It's their fault that they allowed for the largest government grab bag with "The New Deal." It really has been, since then, that we have spiralled downward into a big government necessity. Before that, the government was actually fearful of sticking their tentacles into their constituent's daily lives. After Franklin Delano Roosevelt tore-ass into the New Deal, and all of it's splendor, and gave us Social Security (and a fucking number to go with it), so-on, and so-forth, it essentially made it okay for the government to regulate every aspect of a given person's daily life. That opened the hole for Lyndon Baines Johnson and Medicaid, and now Barack Obama's Socialized Medical System (whatever it's going to be called).

I'm not completely opposed to social programs. I'm not against all government assistance. I am against the government believing that they can stick in their tentacles, once they agree to assist you. Once Obama's Medical System comes into fruition, do you honestly believe you can continue to eat your Big Macs and fries? Yeah, right. Your Chicken Mc Nuggets are out, too. Why do you think they are trying to kill your sodium intake, as we speak?
