Oppose Government Healthcare

There is one good reason that politicians are scumbags.  They were voted in to office (usually) by the people they are supposed to represent, and in order to keep their jobs, they are supposed to properly represent the people that support them.  This crap about the government-run healthcare system is one shining example of how they are failing.

I have actually looked online to try to find examples of why we should support this initiative, but other than news stories about why Obama says it’s a “good thing” I can’t find much.  Now try looking online to find examples of why we should NOT support this, and you will become overwhelmed with reasons.

So many people oppose this in so many different ways, I can’t believe that our government is still trying to force this down our throats.  Listen to the voice of the people, you idiots!  Stop trying to tell us how much we want it and how good it is for us.  We are telling you we don’t want it.  We are saying to stop this.  Even entire states are voting in new refferendums in order to give whole states the right to deny this federal program.   You can look to see if your state has taken any steps to enforce the 10th Amendment and stay a sovereign state.

LISTEN UP ALREADY!  Stop this.  I know you will never listen to me, a peon, a normal US citizen, but STOP.  In case you couldn’t tell already, the majority of the country does not want this horrible “healthcare” system you are proposing.  We don’t want it.  Hint hint – we don’t want it.   It doesn’t make it any better when you are berate people for speaking out in a Town Hall meeting; this is just “this short” of violating our first amendment rights.

So far, the only people that I have seen that are in favor of this new system are illegal aliens.  You know, the ones that are already getting free healthcare.  Well, it’s free for them, my insurance payments and taxes cover their bill.  It’s not really a change for them.

This is one big reason that politicians have such a bad name.  Too many say they support the people that vote them in to office.  But then they turn a blind eye towards our actual wishes.  Too many bow down to our Socialist president and blindly follow whatever he tells them to.  Too few actually have the cajones to stand up and say “NO, that’s not what my people want!”

To those few politicans who have values, and some type of a moral compass, I applaud you.  THANK YOU!  Thank you for doing your job.

Erotic Fiction

Recently I have started writing erotic fiction.  I have always wanted to get into the porn business, but the picture and video type has such a huge negative stigma attached to it.  Writing is fairly anonymous, has a lower risk threshold, and is easier to keep the wife from worrying about “fringe benefits” that the other type could involve.

Erotic fiction is porn for the brain.  You get to escape the images forced on you by movies and pictures.  Everyone can look exactly the way you want them to.  You can even substitute some faces and bodies that you know for the people in the stories.  In movies, it always seems like the camera is not really part of the action – you are always an audience to the events.  In stories, most are written first person, so most everything is happening from the personal perspective.

I saw on a message board that someone had posted a dirty story, and I didn’t see until later that I knew the email address it came from.  Out of boredom, I had read the story, and was surprised that it had captured my interest in a way I had not known for years.  I thought this was like the stories you read in porn magazines, only in ways that were believable.  I was intrigued.  I looked around some more and found that the same email address had posted other stories too.  Hooked, I went and looked up other websites that offer stories to read.  I read A LOT of them.

Not too long after that, without thinking I was doing it, I started coming up with story ideas in my mind.  To make the voices go away, I wrote down what I was thinking.  Then I couldn’t stop.  It’s like trying to dam a small stream by standing in the middle of it.  That only works for a bit.  Then it pools up and ends up finding another way out.  I couldn’t stop the story.  I had to finish the words I had started.  Once I finished the first one (and going over it a few times to fix stuff), I felt relieved.  It was out of my system.  Or so I thought.  Once I got the first one done, there were suddenly five more bursting at the seams!  Dammit!  Well, out they came.

Once the dam on the little river had finished bursting, I felt better.  I thought I was done.  Just to see if anyone else thought they were any good, I conned my wife into reading them, having her think that they were from someone else.  Surprisingly to me, she liked them.  Wow, was she ever shocked when she found they were from me.  Since then I have signed up for a site that hosts them for me so many others can read them too.  I’ve actually got good responses, and encouraged to do more.

Since I’m still new at this, I’m not really all that good, but I do think I am improving.  I have an account at Literotica.com like many other aspiring dirty authors do.  Since everything that I write is copywrited to me, I still have the “rights” to it, just like we have here at WordPress.com.

The bad part about this writing is that I can’t tell many people about it.  It’s like regular porn – only a select few people can know about it so that not everyone thinks I’m a freak.  I know one person in my family that has done some porn that contain movies.  MANY people know about it, and they all talk behind her back about how gross/funny/wrong/etc that it is.  I don’t really care!!!  I would rather not see the video(s?) with her, but I have no problems that she has done them.  But the stigma is there.  She will always be the one people talk about with “remember when she did porn?”  And I really don’t see that happening in a good way.  I just write stories.  No big deal, right?  It’s easy enough for someone to not pay attention to the author name on it.

You should really head over to http://www.literotica.com.  Your brain will thank you for it.

Choose Music Or Sex

What would you choose if you were given the choice of giving up either music or sex for one year?

A few days ago I heard this thought-provoking question on a radio talk show. It hasn’t stopped bugging me since, and I keep changing my answer, then trying to rationalize each answer to myself

My final answer is that I would give up sex. Yes, really. I would prefer to have one year of music instead of one year of sex. Well, more accurately stated, I would give up all the sex I could have had in one year in order to keep all of the music I could absorb in one year.

I would love to have a year where I could have sex any where and any time I wanted, but I know that is an impossible dream. I can, however, easily attain the goal of listening to music any where and any time I want. And with any one I would like.

As many married people know, their sex life before marriage is usually really good. The frequency, the variations, etc, etc. However, once the blushing new bride gets a taste of the wedding cake, the good sex life is usually on it’s way out. Most of the time, within a year, the sex life they had is a distant memory.

I have been married for several years, and in that time I have gone from “a lot of sex” to “almost no sex” and have actually adjusted to it quite well. Surprisingly well, in fact. The hardest part was the transition from ‘lots’ to ‘none’ but once that was done, the rest of the road downhill was not too bad.

My story matches that of many other men. Before we wed, and right afterwards, the sex was awesome. We both craved each other’s body. Many weekends it would be surprising if either of us left the bedroom for more than 5 minutes. But after the wedding, she got mysterious headaches that lasted for weeks. And she was having her period about 5 weeks a month. There were suddenly worries that someone “would see us” or that nothing could happen because the sheets were just washed so we couldn’t get them dirty. Or a special TV show was coming up.

I’m not saying this looking for sympathy or because I’m whining. This is just part of my story, and it’s so typical that I could have just copied some other whiney husband’s story (although I did not). This is just part of the reasoning behind my answer.

So you see, “losing” the option for sex is not really all that big of a deal, it’s essentially gone already anyway. Bring on the music!

What would your choice be?  Why?

Welfare and food stamps are killing our country

As I hear people say our country is becoming socialist and Marxist, I can’t think but help that we are doing it to ourselves.  Our government is seeming to feed off the desires of needy people.

People complain that the nation and the states are being “nannies” and passing laws “for our own good” but yet they are things that should not be done.  However, many of these same people are the ones that want MORE government intrusion into their lives.

Some people I know live entirely off the money taken from me and the people I work with.  These taxes pay for their lives.  Some do not work because of medical conditions, and some don’t work because they are white and don’t speak spanish.  If they were of another color, the would fill a quota for the company, so they would get a job.  Due to massive amounts of immigrants (legal or not) that don’t speak a word of English, an unwritten policy prevents them from getting even a job at walmart or McDonalds.  Some just don’t want to have a job, so they sit around all day and soak up benefits.  They know that having more kids will get them more money from generous Uncle Sam.  Others get assistance because their children have a mental “condition” that requires a lot of doctor’s attention.

So…  They proved that they can produce offspring.  They can’t get, or don’t want to get a job.  They are illegal drug users that can’t pass a piss test to get a job.  They may or may not have mental issues.  With all of these qualifications, they are now approved to get welfare.  The can get food stamps.  They can get different types of Social Security.  They get cash assistance.  Their entire life is financed by me.

So why isn’t there any type of incentive to QUIT mooching from the system?  From my viewpoint, they are rewarded and encouraged to be couch potatoes.  They pay rent, they make car payments, they buy food and clothes, they buy electronics.  They can become masters of frugality becuase they don’t make a lot of money, but enough to just get by. Rent-a-center and Goodwill are kept in business by them.

Please don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying that these assistance programs should be completely shut down.  Sometimes, they do work the way they were intended to.  They sometimes provide temporary relief for a struggling family.  The people work their butts off to take care of themselves and get off of the system.  They are thankful for the help, but they have enough pride to sustain themselves.  They don’t want the government to be their mommy and daddy.

There are so many people that are receiving assistance, they obviously don’t want the free money to go away.  They like their freebies.  Thesse people, and the people like them who want this system of full assistance to stay, are the ones that are ensuring that our country gets closer to a full socialist society.

Out of pride, I have not taken a penny of government assistance since I became an adult.  When I was a child, my family got food stamps for a few months, but we fought to move up and take care of ourselves.  There are times in my adult life that I qualified to get free handouts, but I didn’t take it.  I know where dependance leads, and I didn’t want to start.  I busted my butt to support myself.

Do us all a favor.  Encourage those you know on government assistance to take care of themselves.  Why don’t you help them out too?  Yes, I know, you’re paying for them through your taxes already.  Help them out with cash or food.  Help them get a job.  Help them to help themselves and carry their own weight.

I saw a post on the ‘best’ list at Cave Canum (look for post # 43282) regarding a dad who wanted to show his school-aged son what socialism is really about since his son was so adamant it was a good thing.  The son worked hard while his brother slacked off.  The son that worked ended up having to give away most of his pay for the job to represent how much he would have so surrender in taxes to take care of those who won’t work.  I think he got the point.  I initially laughed, then got sad when I saw the ugly truth in it.

Should Texas Secede?

In the last few months there has been more of a focus on the State (Republic?) of Texas seceding from the US of A. There have always been people trying to get the state to get out, but it’s once again come to the forefront.

I’ve heard a number of reasons why they should (TexasSecede.com) and why they shouldn’t (HuffingtonPost.com).  But the one thing that I have not heard is what I consider to be honest opinions of the citizens of Texas.  Yes, I have read many posts tacked on to the end of the news pages, and several people’s blog entries.  However they all seem to be a 50/50 mix.  And the people that say Texas should stay as part of the USA, say it’s because they don’t want to change the status-quo, and because they don’t want to raise a ruckus.

For the record, I don’t live in Texas and I never have.  I have visited briefly, and have a few friends that live there, but I have not talked to them about this yet.  As a citizen, and as a veteran, I wholly stand behind the right of the people to leave if they want.  If this includes taking the whole state with them into a new Republic, so be it.

How DARE the existing government in place think they have the right to force the state to stay a member of the union.  Our country was founded because many people wanted to leave behind an over-bearing government.  They wanted to live their own lives, and not be hounded by the overbearing beaurocrats.  They wanted a free land.  They wanted a SMALL government.  Our country started out the way most citizens wanted it.  Unfortunately, the nature of politics means it is run by politicians, and these politicians are the primary reason our country has become the place it is now.  Don’t get me wrong, our country is great, but it leaves a lot to be desired.

Look at our government now.  Huge, wasteful, bloated, and over-bearing.  The Texans who want their state to secede want to get away from what our government has turned into. People have become too laid-back and no longer fight for their rights.  It’s apparently too hard to demand freedom, it’s just easier to lay back and let the government steal your rights, privacy and freedoms.

One thing that would happen if Texas tried to secede is that there would be a war.  The rest of the US would perceive the secession as a threat to it’s nation, and would do everything in it’s power to keep that land.  Look at this again.  If an existing state, internal to the country, decided it has had enough, and wanted to get out, the US would act as if this was a threat coming for a foreign nation.  So this effectively says that the President of the US will order the execution of everyone in the state, just to keep the land.  What country is this?  The USA or the USSA USSR?  We have the freedom, as citizens, to leave the US and live in another country.  But only our bodies and personal belongings – The thought of a whole state leaving is too much to bear?  That’s not freedom, that sounds like a type of slavery to me.

Maybe our government should take a look at this situation.  If people really want their state to secede, maybe they have a good reason.  Texas isn’t the only state – Vermont and South Carolina have also made waves regarding secession.  Maybe the local and national government should look at why they want this.  These citizens are the ones that the governemt is supposed to be representing, and the ones they are supposed to be working for.  Remember?  They work for us , not the other way around.  Instead of planning the destruction of revolutionaries, maybe they should fix their own problems – the ones that are causing people to want to leave.
