A Nod To The Gods

No matter how pissed off some may be about the Bergdahl situation, one might take time and think about the other news that dropped the same day.

The chief of the Environmental Protection Agency on Monday justified the EPA’s sweeping new regulation on power plant emissions as a necessary step to prevent catastrophic increases in both the Earth’s temperature and sea levels. “If we do nothing, in our grandkids’ lifetimes, temperatures could rise 10 degrees and seas could rise by 4 feet,” EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy said in a Washington press conference announcing the new rule.

Really? Show us the data. Baseless facts prove nothing…and we have heard this fear mongering before.

McCarthy also blamed climate change on rising medical bills, higher insurance costs, and an increased frequency in devastating storms.[…]

No kidding? I had no idea that a .00000% temperature change in the last 16 years would effect anyone. What do I know.

One thing I do know is that this regime is very schooled in the art of distraction. It would not surprise me that this prisoner exchange was just a shiny object for the media to chase to take the pressure off Obamas efforts to wipe out the energy sector of this country. I think destoying more of the economy and rising energy bills for the average American is more worrisome than this particular situation with an AWOL soldier who may or may not be a traitor.Call me old fashioned.

“The great virtue of a free market system is that it does not care what color people are; it does not care what their religion is; it only cares whether they can produce something you want to buy. It is the most effective system we have discovered to enable people who hate one another to deal with one another and help one another.”

— Milton Friedman

Killer Elliot Roger was crazy. Even a little weasel like that kid could find a female nutjob like himself to bump uglies with, especially in Kalifornina. His manifesto was an excuse, he wanted to kill, and used that pathetic story to justify it. Crazy is crazy.

Some members of every human group respond in aberrant ways to the menu of incentives. Freeloaders, for example, have been a problem for human settlements since human settlement. Religion is thought to have evolved in response to this fact. Unpredictably violent people have been a feature of human existence since before modern man. Fratricide is not in the Bible for nothin’.

All of the evidence is pointing toward a biological source of crime. Certainly, crimes of opportunity like drugs are a separate class, but violent crime is most likely biological. Habitual theft of various types is most likely biological as well. Recidivism rates amongst career thieves and child molesters are so high that it is impossible not to conclude biology is the source. Some people are just born bad.

The question is what do we do with this unfixable and defective batch of humans? Locking them up is a good start, but letting them out is madness. Throwing the biologically violent in with petty thieves is cruel and senseless. Whatever chance for redemption the thief had going into jail is gone once he bunks up with a rapist or murderer. It seems to me that a sane and decent society looks for alternatives to warehousing the non-salvageable human defects. keep reading

Start tearing them down while they are young.
Kid steps it up showing his teacher he is ahead of schedule, his 1st grade teacher reprimands him. This should infuriate you.

“Fifty years ago citizens were not considered a threat. You could buy machine guns and dynamite at your local hardware store. Fast forward fifty years and our elected government considers us such a threat that we can’t be trusted with more than 10 rounds and fireworks. I have to ask what has changed in fifty years, the citizens or our government? Why would they think we are a threat?
Why do they cripple our economy?
Why do they tax us to death and pay people to do nothing?
Why do they divide us racially and by gender to make us weak as a nation?
Why do they dumb down our children and teach them all alike?
Why do they legalize drugs and open our borders to anybody and anything that wants to come in?
Why do they pass laws to destroy our families and marriages?
Why do they want to cripple our military while at the same time build huge internal bureaucracies that arm themselves with billions of rounds of ammo, tanks, humvees, and high explosives?

Proves the point that when liberals don’t get their way they lose their minds. What a terrible story.

A Florida mental health counselor has been arrested for allegedly murdering her lesbian lover’s two-year-old daughter after the girl’s mother, also a mental health counselor, broke up with her. 

Kymberley Lucas, 40, also tried to kill Jacquelyn Jamason’s 10-year-old son – and possibly herself, police said.

Officers were called to Lucas’ Jupiter, Florida, home Monday for a reported drowning. There, they found Elliana Lucas-Jamason, 2, dead. keep reading
