Right Wing Nut Jobs

Years ago, the right wing in America, (also known as facists, rednecks, racists), accused the media of having an Liberal East Coast bias. That was their euphemistic way of saying 'Jew'.

As those who would have gladly participated in Nazi Germany's extermination of the Jews, but alas, were unable to participate, only a lucky few can enjoy Abu Gharib, Camp Delta and the Sand Pit in Afghanistan. The others must satisfy themselves with representational murder, mayhem and torture.

To this end, they have plunged into the media actually getting their own television and radio stations, as well as websites.

Most of these Nutjobs have learned how to mask their actual purpose, and instead of being on the fringes, have moved into the mainstream, appearing 'neutral' at best or conservative at worst.

The problem these Nutjobs have is with the rest of the world. They can not control what others see or think or learn, they can only dumb down American schools, They can only project their twisted view points into American heads.

This is why persons outside of America tend to have a better knowledge of current events and history, even American history.

Silencing those who offend their sensibilities is easy in America. They have the money, they make threats of law suits, and in most cases, people are silenced.

Outside of America, they have a serious problem, for it is only a few weak states which will perform as they desire. Others will not. This will cause them great anguish and attempts to block information from reaching the average citizen is a full time job.

That nearly the whole world knew Iraq did not have weapons of mass destruction when America invaded, and that the whole world sees America as guilty of war crimes does not mean it has the power to even condemn.

Never Forget when you're Third World

I write for Factoidz. I offended some of the Tea Party Set. I erased their comments. So they spent hours and hours petitioning the owner of the site to demote me. So I was demoted.

I wrote an email to support, not that it will do much good. I am third world, those folks are first. And one must never forget that.

CHILDHOOD NEVER ENDS

There is a childishness among those closer to thirty than twenty.  A careless attitude in which there seems no idea of consequences.  Univeristy studens, even Seniors seem closer to primary schooler than what one expected of a High School thirty years ago.

The 'hook-ups', where meaningless sex with strangers replaces a 'date', where drugs replace experiences, and where responsibility is a dirty word seem to fill in the childhood that was 'lost'.

Fifty years ago there were many stay at home moms with their stay at home children.  The child would play all day, Mommy calling her for breakfast, then lunch, taking her grocery shopping or to the beauty parlour, because leaving one's child anywhere with anyone, save a live in relative was unsavoury.

At five the child could be entered in Kindergarten or not, as that was not mandatory.  So for six years a kid was a kid.  A kid was kid every day until school began to limit, and then on weekends.  During the summer those who went to sleep away camp had their experiences, those who went to day camp had theres, and those who stayed home for two months had theirs.

One began to grow up because of association with adults.  One had completed their childhood and went into their teens where they were still pretty much monitored, and so it was not surprising that a High School graduating class, as late as 1967 would have a vast majority of virgins, or both sexes.

Today, kids are put into day care as soon as Mommy goes back to work, for not everyone can afford a nanny or has an older relative willing to stay home.  The pre school has become what the kindergarten was in the 50s; almost required.

With the kid needing to be watched from about 8 to 5, activities are organised so that the child is regimented from about three making Kindergarten what third grade used to be.

The kids don't seem to be particularly bright or well educated, despite the fact the average thirteen year old has been in some form of schooling for ten years.

I believe it is the absence of childhood as a child which has created the adult child.  The deprivation of the thoughtless irresponsibility between the ages of 3 to 6, coupled with the recreational summers, (now replaced by summer school, extra lessons, etc.)  has led to this peculiar reversal of aging.
