Common Sense and News and Politics 6:35 am
What the FUCK, CNN? Right now the Scott McClellan congressional hearing thing is going on. Obama is having a meeting with Democratic Governors on the economy. Two HUGE stories which I’d love to watch.
And you’re busy having some stupid personal finance chick answer asinine questions?
Fuck you, CNN. If I wanted shit I’d watch Fox News, I’d expect you (being, you know, a 24 hour news network) to actually cover the god damn news. You guys suck.
Common Sense 9:51 pm
Lust is a primal, natural instinct.
When someone is in a relationship, in order to be monogamous, they must exercise conscious resistance to lust.
That being said, how can monogamy be natural as people say? If remaining monogamous by definition involves resisting an emotion that is natural, then isn’t the act of monogamy by definition unnatural?
Blackwater and Bush and Common Sense and Nightmares and Politics and Republicans and War 9:39 pm
I’ve been reading Jeremy Scahill’s book “Blackwater” and I have to admit it’s particularly startling. I’ll probably post a review of it when I’m done (like 20 pages to go). But a few things occurred to me.
- Military benefits and pay suck.
- We are currently fighting (a few) wars.
– Therefore, Military enlistments are down.
- Blackwater benefits and pay are huge.
- Our government is paying a ton of money to Blackwater for men to fight in previously mentioned wars.
– Therefore, it isn’t that people won’t fight, they just need proper incentive.
COMMON SENSE CONCLUSION:
- Scrap Blackwater contracts, put money in government’s bank account.
- Take half of said money and invest in higher military benefits, pay, etc.
- Take other half of said money and invest in post-war support of soldiers.
- Watch military recruitment rise.
- Stop worrying about massive mercenary army hanging out in North Carolina and fighting our wars with literal immunity and no oversight.
Am I crazy? Doesn’t this seem more logical, and more desireable than a government who lap feeds private contractors who donate to their campaigns?
