First it's the Psychos, next it's You

In light of the new gun laws that have been passed since the Virginia Tech incident, I have a few points that I would like to make. Although I don't think someone that has been declared legally insane should posses a gun, that doesn't mean that they aren't entitled to that right. Shootings, they happen everywhere; schools, banks, post offices, homes, and clubs, just to name a few places. But I think that we're missing the point. Who is the one who said that all shootings occur around some crazy going out and buying a gun?? The point is this, very sane people do some crazy sh*t, most people that commit shootings do it during moments of extreme anger, depression, or moments of passion. I really think that this can happen to anyone, especially since half the population is suffering from depression or anxiety. And although most state's laws revolve around those people that have been involuntarily committed, I think that it is just a matter of time before the government starts restricting us all. The right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed, amendment II in the bill of rights. I don't know what the government and probably 65% of people in America (keep in mind that the average intelligence is 100+/- 15, with mental retardation starting at 70) think, but I believe that banning certain people from their basic rights is just a step towards total tyranny. If the government really wanted to make us safer, and monitor who purchased guns they would give people I.Q. tests. Hell they should just make that a requirement for people to receive their basic rights, because if you aren't intelligent enough to stand up for your rights (like half of America) you shouldn't have them. Our rights are being stripped from us one by one, stand up and fight for them--spread the word.

In My Opinion

So, I guess I will comment on......Our Price Of Freedom’s blog, it seemed to get a bit of attention so I will throw my two cents in. First off, I have completely contrasting views with you on this. I believe our country was founded by immigrants, it was built by immigrants, and continues to be run by children of those immigrants. Our Latino friends are no different; Hell as Texans we technically live in former Mexico. And I don't think they take our jobs. That's a load of crap. We Americans are snobs, and a lot of Immigrants take jobs that we could not imagine doing ourselves, at wages we sure as hell wouldn't accept. And as far as not paying taxes goes, they buy back into our economy, which includes a tax on just about everything (food, alcohol, tobacco, and gas). And what about those individuals that do get fake IDs and do pay into taxes that don't get the full benefits. Illegal Immigrants are trying to better themselves, their families, and their futures, and some of the hardest working people I have met are Immigrants, and trust me when I say they don't get treated fairly. Although many send money back home to Mexico, without it the Mexican economy would probably crash. I am honestly more concerned about so called "Americans" who have forgotten the basis this country was founded upon. I think we should all stop to ponder what the founding fathers of our nation would say in light of our opinions now.

I Don't Like Bush.....:(

So it seems George W. Bush is doing it again, as if he isn’t to busy trying to bully Congress into giving him tyrannical power, or more money for a pointless war; it seems as though he has now decided to devote an awful lot of time trying to get another “yes” man in the Attorney Generals position. Although the Senate Judiciary Committee believed that Michael Mukasey would do a more honest and “memorable” job, this was not the case. After being thoroughly questioned it seems as though Mukasey is just another Gonzalez; Mukasey was evasive about issues and just didn’t answer some questions he was confronted with, mainly the waterboarding torture techniques. Although this is an important issue, because this type of torture should NOT be allowed (we have prosecuted people in the past for this exact thing) there are a few things that concern me more. First, I don’t think the waterboarding issue with Mukasey is the main issue, I think the main issue is the fact that he will obviously be just another person that Bush would have in his pocket, allowing Bush to “get away” with even more corrupt shit then he gets away with now. Secondly, my next concern has to do with that of a certain senator running for president (ahhhmm…McCain) that claims “we are not doing [waterboarding torture techniques] in our American government”; which technically may be true since they are just hiring out mercenaries (Blackwater??). But we all have heard stories about what has happened and continues to happen at Guantanamo Bay. It frustrates me because Republicans like this (which are either in denial or just plain ignorant) will help in the assurance of Bush getting what he wants. Thirdly, it is sad, but true that no matter how many democrats we vote into office, that as long as we the people have a corrupt, manipulative, and backward ass president, not much is going to change. Bush has made it perfectly clear that anything he wishes to get passed will get passed even if it means giving bribes, blackmailing, providing countless ultimatums, or whatever you want to call it.
