In the "we need to make money off of every single person who listens to a single song" hysteria that has engulfed the world since the Napster fiasco. The latest news to come along is more incredible then even I can believe.
A woman who plays music for her horses, is being told that she must pay royalty fees in order to broadcast her music. I am dead serious.
In the defense of the recording industry (PRS) that is telling her to do so, they say it is not because of her horses (that would be too profitable, imagine charging every horse for every song he/she hears) NO! it is because she has 2 (count them) two employess that may hear the music. So... she is classified as public broadcast.
Holy Shit! Everyday, I am amazed that the human race continues to consider themselves intelligent.
For the morons reading this that don't understand.... Basically, if you play some music at work, and your coworkers can hear it... you need to pay a royalty fee for broadcasting it. Does it sound stupid to you now?

Poor Cameon....

So Cameon over at, this cute little blog here, decided to call me out on Texas being retards.
Wow, she immediately shows that she doesn't know what she is talking about with her first gripe with me. To retard, means as you said, to slow. This originally comes from a musical term. Get it? To slow the music? It was then later adapted to express a slowed thinking process.
I stand by calling Texas retarded. And they are acting retarded still. Let me post the definition of that word for everyone AGAIN! Straight from your website.
To cause to move or proceed slowly; delay or impede.
That sounds exactly like the people I am referring to Cameon. If you don't get it then that is another issue entirely. Texas, by making this decision is slowing the progress of the American school sytem and the education of children. Literally they are, retarding the education in Texas. I do not use words carelessly, and I in no way was referring to mentally handicapped persons. If you see the word retarded and immediately think of a person that is your issue not mine.
Moving on...
Her second petty attempt to make an argument against what I said was;
... what makes Texas stupid for wanting to eliminate evolution from the textbooks? Isn't it the same as banning teachers from talking about God ...
Dude... Seriously? God does not belong in science. You can debate god all day in other classes like, theology or philosophy. In fact I LOVE TO DO THAT, but god does not belong in science.
To end. There is NO weak spots in evolution. It is a more solid theory than the theory of gravity, but I don't see Texas making a fuss about that.
** in case you didn't click the link above. The Discovery Institute, a christian propaganda machine, and strong arm against reason and logic. Has won. Creationism now has a backdoor way to enter the classroom in Texas. They (Texas school board) is now officially retarded in my book.
But at least now we can sue them if they wont teach the TRUTH.

So now Texas is going to make themselves look like complete morons to the rest of the civilized world.
This is just the latest in a long stream of states who one by one, start to act mentally retarded, and then have second thoughts about it.
What am I talking about? Well, the good ol' boys, down in Texas. Thinks it a gud ideer to keep them bibles and throw away them text buuks. They don't need no stinkin dinosaws lessens, because they no jesus made things the way they are, 6000 yrs ago.
Let me translate into non-retarded (even for a monkey) language. The Texas school board is planning to vote on a new curriculum which will shun evolution. I suppose now we can teach the truth.
On a serious note, If Texas does this, there will be no end to how retarded they will look to the rest of us. Not to mention kids coming out of the schools there will seriously be lacking in necessary biology training. Worse case scenario
is the same for the Texas students as the religious nut jobs in our country. If they choose to reject evolutionary theory, the chances of them getting a good job, based on evolution, such as medical, would be almost 0%.
I'm going to bed, I don't know why but I have been slightly more grouchy then normal lately. The stupidity of the average American is really starting to rub me the wrong way. They want to reject science, then run to it (hospital) when their life is in danger.

Just when I was done, and I mean completely done, with it. This grabs my attention.
For people my age or older, I give you a final look at chocolate rain.

Is Atheism a bad thing?

This video is for Angela,
Apparently she seems to think Atheism is a bad thing, because it "consumes" us.
So I ask You, does it?

Thank you to Jan Verhoeff on whose blog I found this video:
Although she originally posted the awe and wonder that this video made her feel of "God's creation," this video for me (and should be for you as well) is a reminder of the amazing things that humans are truly capable of accomplishing through science, reason, and technology. (not flying planes into buildings because an imaginary being told them to)

Just a quick update on free speech.

So apparently this "rapist and communist bitch" (and for the record I have talked to a lawyer and I have the right to voice my opinion about someone in quotation marks. If they demand my site or post's from this site get taken down, I have a real legal case against them. So I welcome that)...
*ahem.. So apparently this "rapist and communist bitch" will say publicly that they are all for free speech. Then brag about how the "rapist" fights for our right to have free speech. Fine. Behind closed doors however things get interesting. They flagged my video on youtube to have it taken down. Which I can except that, I posted his phone number and may have stepped over the line, but this is just adding to the numerous demands that anything negative about them be removed from facebook immediately.
This is the exact opposite of free speech. I don't like what some people say about me, but I don't demand that they not be able to speak. They have the same right as I do to defend the point of view they hold and try to knock mine down. Logically and fairly.
I have made my play. Fairly. They just want to silence people who say things they don't like. Where exactly does this sort of mentality stop? Next thing you know nobody will be able to say anything anybody else does not like, and then my friends we will be living in a very silent nation.
The facebook pages of these people is something that they opt into. If they wish to make them private then so be it. But as long as they are public, they can be found through a link or google search. So I can post them here. Now go take a look at censorship in action. and..... a "rapist and communist bitch"

What is free speech?

I can write this blog while completely drunk and still teach people what it truly means to have free speech.
So let us recap what happened, Here is my summary. I just got word today that these same losers, aka, "rapist and communist bitch" (notice that is in quotation marks (opinion) and not stated as fact, which makes me immune from any lawsuit from these people) called Cameon and spoke with her dad. I am glad her father realized that these people are completely nuts, and don't have a clue what they are talking about legally. This gets back to the core of what this is all about. Apparently these complete and utter retarded (Inbred hicks if you ask me) ignorant (typical) americans. Anyway... these people really believe that if you say something bad about them, then it should be either; a:censored, or b:illegal. I don't know if I have to tell you this or not reader, but NO IT IS NOT ILLEGAL TO INSULT SOMEONE ELSE.
Cameon gives her take on what happened here.
I could spend a million hours trying to type out to you why it is important to protect speech, and why you should never EVER be allowed to censor speech you do not agree with (or hate). But I thought, I would instead give you another interpretation of free speech.
Like here.
Remember, the moment we no longer say anything to offend anybody. We will no longer have anything to say.
