Overpopulation

I saw a news piece on TV the other night talking about a worldwide emergency with a growing problem of not enough rice, which is the main staple for people around the world. They then cut to a women in the Philippines…………..who was talking about the price getting too high and becoming harder and harder to find. How her kids were suffering from hunger. They only got one rice meal a day. Then she went on to tell how hard it was on her 9 kids.

WHAT?????? Did I really hear her say she had 9 KIDS? By the way, we always say “She had kids” but you know what? There’s a man hiding somewhere in this analogy who gets equal, if not a little more blame. Holy shit, I take it people in the Philippines don’t know where babies come from! I have a sneaking suspicion that EVERYWHERE there are starving people, there are far, far, far too many babies mysteriously appearing out of nowhere. Are the people of the world who take total responsibility for those they sire now somehow financially responsible for all those idiots who make it a habit of breeding like damn rabbits?

Isn’t the real problem, too damn many people in the world? Isn’t that the truth everywhere? Even here in the United States, there are now people indiscriminately pushing out babies right and left, without having any intention of taking full physical or financial responsibility for them.

The truth that everyone knows but are afraid to admit because of the “PC” bullcrap is that the very people who should not be having children, much less a dozen or so, are the poor, illiterate and in a lot of cases Immigrant folks.

So, people who bother to learn English properly, pay their own way, live in society as full partners, responsible for themselves in every way are replacing themselves less and less. At the same time, those who basically just want to live off of the government (which of course is US) can have all the chillins they want, with no limits at all.

So how does a sane responsible society handle this mounting problem? This problem, that no one wants to talk about? Have you heard ANY politician even have the nerve to mention it? If it just might be the main problem of the human race on earth, how could that be?

I’m guessing western religions are a huge part of the reasons it’s such an untouchable subject. Even though we left England so long ago to escape the religious rule over there, we somehow brought a ton of puritanical ideas along for the ride. One of the main ones is no birth control. I’m told the Indians knew and used natural herbs and methods of controlling when and where to have a child. Maybe instead of our forefathers killing the Indians, he should have taken classes from them in the realities of life.

My learned answer to what we, as a sane society should do to fix or at least better this leaning tree that’s going to fall someday soon?

I have no idea………….Do you?

Real Life Economics

I really do think about 5 years from now, we are going to look back on these economic times as the best thing that could ever have happened to us and the rest of the world, for that matter. The reason is it's going to force everyone to come back to the simple realities that our forefathers lived with.

Several important factors are involved here. The first and foremost would be this new thing that was invented called "Credit". Instead of only buying things that one could afford and paying for them BEFORE you took them home, these new fancy pants shysters came up with this insane plan where you could borrow the money from them and take it home right now. Of course there was quite the price to pay. They called it "interest" and the longer you took to pay them back, the more "interest" they received.

If you're old enough, you heard your parents or grandparents say "That's nice but we can't afford it". I'll bet you haven't heard that statement in years. With the credit thing, we all got to the point where we thought we could afford anything, anytime. Huge mistake huh?

The other insane factor we all got caught up in was buying crap we didn't even need. No regular person needs a pair of $350.00 sneakers, $200.00 pair of Cotton pants, a $40,000 car every three years, a 4,000 square foot McMansion or any number of other high priced garbage we see in the slick magazines about the rich and famous and their "lifestyles". We then started extending these insane practices onto our children, making them think they "deserved" the very best at all times.

Because of our willingness to go into great debt, the business world jumped at the chance to rip all of us a new one and greed then became not only fashionable but standard practice. So eventually, they invented a new form of credit, called "easy credit". At first, they actually expected you to be able to afford the payment on your "loan" with them. The next logical step was to drop that requirement and just go ahead and give us whatever we thought we needed without thought of the future consequences of our choices at all. Let the future take care of itself.

Well folks, we are now seeing the outcome of all that greed and wastefulness, to say the least. Now when I see all the terrible news about car dealerships and fancy pants stores going bankrupt all over the country and world I say "GOOD, we didn't need any of those things anyway". I'm going to guess about 1/4 of ALL businesses were just trying to sell us crap we didn't come close to actually needing and they can and should just go away.

Wonderful, Natural Nature

So......last night, when we arrived home from our work, we opened the slider to the back deck to put the cat's food dish out and there as often is, was a skunk. I Psssssst! real loud and off the deck he went. Then, as I was setting the dish down again, low and behold, there was another one hiding behind the chair just inches away from my hand. It kinda surprised me and sorta pissed me off, so I reached down, picked up the large water bowl we have there and threw the whole thing straight at the skunk, hitting it broadside with all that water.

Well.............in that split second, without me even seeing it or knowing it, the son of a bitch let loose with his gun full force at me. Holy shit, all of the sudden, my wife and I could not even breath, it hit us so hard. We slammed the slider shut and stood there in shock, barely able to take a full breath of air, right in our own living room.

So......all the doors and windows wide open. Ceiling fan on full blast. Air Freshener sprayed throughout the whole house, as we try and return to some kind of normalcy with our evening routine feeding the cats and starting dinner as the whole house smells like the end of the world.

As time went on, it started calming down a bit but my wife kept saying every-time I got near her, it got worse. So I went into the bedroom and started stripping off clothes and smelling them. Took a bath in damn ketchup, then a shower. Everything I had on was screwed, including my slippers, so off they went outside, where they are still. We think we are probably going to have to just throw away everything I had on.

So, on my way to pick up my wife again from work, I stopped off at Rite aid and bought new slippers.

So, there ya go. The wonderful realities of living in the damn mountains, with all it's wonderful, natural wildlife. Damn Nature!!!

I sent this story to my daughter in Las Vegas and told her "DO NOT LAUGH!" Well, as you can imagine, she laughed and wrote this back:



AHHHH! HAHA! that is hilarious... Dad oh dad oh dad, you just simply CAN NOT have bad thoughts about skunks when they
are within a 20 ft proximity. NO BAD THOUGHTS. you must continue to think 'oh how adorable and cuddly and fluffy' until you are out of firing range, then you can think 'listen up you $%#@ &*%$#@%' and pull the trigger (be it a water bucket or a shotgun)... ;)

Remember, those are like really, really smart cats with a BIG STINKY GUN, and they have an attitude problem bigger than the devil himself.
Cute, fluffy, adorable and extremely dangerous.

She's still laughing.
