Dropping into the news scene as I tend to do often these days due to the utter lack of anything else to do but wander..
I just want to give a big round of applause to Judge Carmen Beauchamp Cipatrick and the state of New York for their astounding loophole for kiddie porn in their state. Now, I have heard of a lot of absurd laws still intact from the good ole days but never did I realize that viewing kiddie porn was just as legal as walking down the street and grabbing a pack of smokes. According to this Judge, though, that's exactly what it is. There is only one catch to not getting caught red handed. (Literally.) You just can't download these videos or images to your computer. What about the Cache? Doesn't matter! Even if you are shown to be a repeat visitor to these sites, you are scott free provided they don't see your stash of little boys in your basement. (But you got that duct tape right? You should be just fine.)
Defendant Court Case. (The people vs James D. Kent)
Apparently, all you gotta do is claim that you didn't know.
Kiddie Porn NY (Original Article)
If that alone doesn't get to you out there.. Try THIS one on for size. Last season, a senator in OK, wanted to amend a bill that is just fresh off the press. The "Personhood Bill". Yes, everyone shudder together and women burn your bras. Not yet though. The Senator wanted to push it further in the attempt to make sure that ALL the semen in the world would have a "chance to do their job". The amendment would make several things illegal. Masturbation amongst one of them stating that "semen not be deposited in anything other than a woman's vagina". Of course, with an extreme swing to the right there will always be an extreme left. Wanna know what the lefties are up to?
POST birth abortions. Oh yeah, that crying and breathing newborn? Go ahead and kill it. ESPECIALLY if it has some birth disease. Australians Alberto and Francesca lay claim that they didn't want to make it legal (though, this came out AFTER the death threats) but their list of reasoning behind the action of the Post birth abortion seems like a pretty good layout for the fight to make it a bill. Beyond the eugenics underlying in this idea, they state that because the newborn is "still developing" it doesn't have a normal right to live.
Does that mean I can outright kill my teenager too? They're still maturing and developing and, these days, they don't contribute shit to the community. The whine generation as I like to see them.
They also explain that if it is a financial burden to the family, it is indeed better off for them to just get rid of the child. Don't we have something for this though? Oh, right.. adoption. According to the pair, the psychological damages of adoption FAR outweigh those of the damages that it could do to ones psyche knowing that you just killed a perfectly innocent and healthy human being.
They say that this wasn't meant to be read by the general populace (you know, that giant crowd of people that would probably denounce their citizenship to any country that would allow this to happen or the other giant crowd that would probably carry out their Second Amendment in America if you dared trying it). It was meant to be read by other bioethicists.
Don't mind me.. I'm just going to go create a child so I can go through 9 months of pregnancy, labor for 12 hours and pop one out that I can literally pop.

Our apologies, this wasn't meant the way you think it was.
And just to be a dick about it.. turns out their "colleagues" didn't take so well to the issue at hand either..

Occupy What?
The Occupy movement has become a source of eternal frustration with me as we push our streets' limits with people waving their cardboard cut out signs with no relief in site. From the beginning, I supported these movements because of the promise that it held. Actively partaking in some of the activities myself, I have become discontent with these somewhat hippy driven protests. In my area, there is no action. You people don't move. Have we lost motivation? Nay, I think the problem is that no one turns an active eye to inactive progress.
Unfortunately, we have become a nation of attention seeking whores. When we get a little bit, we back off too much and forget why we were there in the first place. I attended an Occupy circle ONCE. I couldn't stand being there for too long and soon after we got there, my partner and I left. There was not one thing that made me think that these people were going to spark anything other than some boring news columns. And so it started.. first in the local free press and then into a more wide spread press. It's cute how a few words written in a paper that hardly anyone reads or takes seriously will make someone's ego soar.
Recently, the newest spread on this certain Occupy area is that they are "re-Occupying" after the winter season. There are a few problems I have with this but the bottom line is, they shouldn't have to "re" anything; they should have stayed where they were. It's this total lack of motivation to stick through something even throughout the bumps (especially if those bumps are weather conditions) that causes others to turn a blind eye. Combined with the fact that they go out of their way to be annoying to citizens while randomly inviting anyone to come and be annoying with them makes them more of a nuisance than anything else.
Since I've last written a lot of things have gone on in my person life to make me realize more and more that MOTION equals action.. standing on the streets with signs looking like a bum taking up space isn't going to do shit. Get your ass moving and take in some news that DOESN'T have to do with the Occupy movement. It is my honest opinion that the Occupy movement has become nothing more than a social networking ring that doesn't go past the area in which is occupied. It's a sorry slide show of how America works. Most of the people from the start didn't even know WHERE the Occupy movement STARTED. Sadly, this is how America's peoples work most of the time. Blindly following the crowd, once again, under a different nickname and still UNEDUCATED.
For shame, Occupy, you could have been something great.
Sometimes we need to remember that all we need is some good ole fashioned violence. After all, we are all going for equality aren't we?

The religion of American Consumerism
It is Christmas Eve ladies and gentlemen. Which means that we are in a full scale panic no matter where we are or what field we work in. Stores are struggling to make those last sales as the Christian heros of the Nation have made it a sin to work the holiday thus cutting into our profit making and forcing us to stay at home with family members we don't even like. Our streets are clouded with the smokey reminders that tomorrow is THE day that we all work up to and it's only downhill from there because the only thing we have left of the year is New Year's Eve and that's of no concern to us as long as they have our liquor on tap and don't argue with us about driving but not being able to stand.
As we stand in disgust with our Government not taking care of our problems with the economy for us, we spend money that we don't have and allow ourselves to be minipulated in getting credit cards in the holiday spirit. Fuck the holiday spirit I say. The streets full of the greedy trying to get that last minute deal with not consideration that maybe we shouldn't be turning left into a full line of oncoming traffic just because we "have somewhere to be".
The first sticky snow fell last night making this panic even more real as people fake the holiday hooplah when they are really miserable on the inside. Again, spending time with family because we have to and not because we want to. We feel obligated to this Christmas panic. It's become a tradition to feel the heavy weight of being let down when we realize that there is nothing to look forward to and those deals weren't really all that great after all. Lately, the new thing is to buy local. Over priced, home made junk that we buy just to make ourselves feel like we are contributing to something other than the huge corporations that everyone out there loves to think they hate. We stand in unity against the system, unless it's a holiday and this is what sickens me.
Welcome to the religion of American Consumerism, where we fight against anything that isn't a holiday because it's not politically correct to fight against something like that. Hypocrisy seems to be the flavor of the months of October-Feburary as Christmas through Valentine's Day we are trying to show how big our dick is in the area of monetary givings and secretly hoping for the pay back of the receiving.

Slap on the wrist for American Congress
By now we all know that America was downgraded in their credit rating. Holding a AAA rating since 1917, S&P has determined America is now a AA+ country. As I shook my head throughout the night thinking about what this could mean for the country, I listened to the news who seemed to be brutally shocked at something the rest of us saw coming from a mile away.
S&P stated that it was more the portrayal of coming to the solution to America's debt ceiling problem and waiting until the last minute to do something about it. They also condemn the Republicans for being unmanageable as we all know they wouldn't budge on things that were suggested and they didn't like. Push comes to shove, the debt was a long time problem but the irresponsible in fighting at Congress showed S&P a disintegration of how America's government takes care of the countries problems. Which, again, is something we've all seen. The big head at S&P said that the down grade in America's credit status could have been avoided this year if a plan for the debt ceiling was actually done in a timely manner and done like adults.
This is a problem that the Government seems to be having lately. Bickering like children. Democrats don't want to save money by making welfare cuts and Republicans don't want to stop spending money that they don't have. Both sides are plagued with proving each other wrong so often that they have forgotten what their jobs are!
Another commenter on the news station I was watching last night said that candidates now have the chance to do what is right for the country. Why hasn't this been done for the past 20 years? Unfortunately, this makes the president look extremely bad as the new election comes to light. Although the debt was huge before President Obama took over, the fact that the downgrading didn't happen until he was in office says a lot.
Or does it?
The fact of the matter is, the debt should have been in it's start to being taken care of and we weren't in this debt until this "War on Terror". This along with welfare states and lack of jobs creates more spending and less opportunities for revenue.
It's time for Congress to put on their big kid panties and get on with solving the problem that they created for America and do it without fighting. Do what NEEDS to be done because it needs to be done, not because it's what you WANT to be done.

Perspective Differences
It occurred to me that one must be in the right mind to use any information to it's utmost efficiency. If you are not in the right state of mind, it makes it very hard to distribute or even partake in the events that need to happen in order to create an ideal situation to overcome certain obstacles.
Everyone introduces a bit of indulgence. We are human and therefore tend to take things that we like and continue to use them. There is nothing wrong in enjoying indulgences. Certainly they are some of the things that make life worth living at times. However, it comes to mind to me this day that over indulgence is a killer. A killer in a way that it kills the message because it adds a new hurdle to the subversiveness of some messages. In fact, adding more clusterfuck than clarity because one cannot clear themselves enough to portray the message to another person.
In the case of over indulgence you also stand in line for judgment of those whom you are trying to reach and portraying a poor image for your cause. Unfortunately, for those of this path, they tend not to care enough. The moral behind this blog mainly is, if you show people that you don't care enough to have self control then how are you going to convince those around you that you care enough about your cause? These people are going to judge you and your ridiculous actions and while you may be able to attract the same types to your cause you certainly won't get the mass majority to listen to you. No one wants to try to dejumble the message of someone who can't speak clearly. No matter your spirit, your words are overlooked by your actions and that's where the real problem is with the situation.

Desire is NOT an occupation
If there is something we all share in common it's the WANT of things that we don't actually need. In America especially, we will stop at no lengths to get at what drives us the most. Whether it's the newest technology or items that we could easily make ourselves but for convience sake we don't feel like it.
The title of the blog says a lot when you really sit back and think about what you want and what you need. I have had this debate with several choice individuals. Previously, I wrote about Martial Law and the things that the masses MUST do in order to even just survive the outcome of what could be the biggest collapse in the American economy since the Depression. Part of the suggestions was to become self reliant. It is not enough to think "if this happens surely I will have all the options to survive". You cannot assume that because you've imagined what it MIGHT be like, you automatically know what you would do. The best way is to be educated about what you will NOT have and be able to work around that.
The debate of "why do you still go to work then if you are so against the Government"? Even I have wants that I acknowledge. For it is not what I NEED that keeps me in a job, it's simply what I want. Even so, I have started becoming efficient in designing and have been educating myself in how to live with just little. The best thing I could possibly do is look around at what I normally get from your every day super market and mock their actions.
The idea that "desire is not an occupation" falls under the thought process that if you think it, you can do it. While this is not necessarily fallacy, at some point you have to actually live what you think if it is going to make any difference. We all have our faults and we all live a busy schedule. Especially if you are running around providing for the man that's above you business wise. However, it's important to realize that if we want to move forward; you have to actually MOVE.

The Inspiration
I started off in college having a deep interest in Political Science and Criminal Justice. Needless to say, neither are the majors that I am attempting now but I did make a valiant attempt at doing so in the beginning. Politics fascinated me and the IDEA of Criminal Justice made me think really hard about the years I spent as a teenager saying "fuck the police". The secretary of the Speaker of the House came into my PS 110 class a few years back and I was captivated by what she was saying and it made me want to know more about the inner workings of Washington and the Government.
When I really started educating myself about the systems of Government and the intricacies that went along with them I was trapped. Later, while I would watch the news, I would tilt my head to the side and wonder just what was right. At the same time, I picked apart things that could use improvement and was nieve in my beliefs that I could play a role in the improvement. So, I decided that I hated the Government.. I wanted nothing to do with it. I saw the system as something that was far more broken than could possibly be fixed. America was weak and would soon flush itself down because that was what weak countries do. They fail and sink. I vowed to leave this country and go somewhere else. Only to do my research and realize that we are ALL broken on some level or another.
My hope was revitalized when I came to an epiphany. I decided to rally and back groups such as Anonymous. There is where I found my inspiration to start thinking in a more positive manner about the Americas again. It gave me new ideas on how to reach out to people regardless of being PC or not; my message has been prominent and clear. That message has been attacked over and over again. Today being a prime example as I posted a question that was turned into a flame war simply because someone misunderstood and took it way too far.
As I go on writing this blog for myself and others to educate themselves on certain things I have announced to the world that my words are ready and welcoming a response.. negative or not. I am not afraid of you or anyone else. Everyone deserves to know and more importantly, UNDERSTAND what is going on around them. My inspiration is the negative, it's the positive, it's the knowledge that maybe only a handful of people read but perhaps that handful will regain some of their own strength and actually use it.
