Texting Leads To Deadly Shooting

A little over 10 years ago, before all this texting nonsense began, just before having a cell phone became the "in thing," I made a prediction.  I predicted that before 2020, cell phones would be the cause of more deaths than alcohol and drugs!

Sadly, it looks as if my prediction a decade ago is slowly but surely coming true.


*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

It started with a father sending text messages to his daughter during the previews of a movie.

It ended with the 43-year-old man shot dead amid the theater seats, and a 71-year-old retired police officer in custody.

The shooting Monday during a 1:20 p.m. showing of "Lone Survivor" at a Wesley Chapel, Florida, movie theater escalated from an objection to cell phone use, to a series of arguments, to the sudden and deadly shooting, according to police and witnesses.

As a male moviegoer texted, the man seated behind him objected, and asked the texter to put his phone away.

The Empress on 2011: Part Three

I am sorry to report that in 2011 we saw an increase of “reality” TV shows.    Which is proof positive of how utterly dumbed down the majority has gotten!  As if there weren’t enough distractions  -- we are now bombarded by trashy television shows that have the audacity to call themselves “reality” TV.    And don’t even get me started on those ridiculous, badly slammed together  paranormal shows.  

It has gotten so bad, I don’t even own a television any more!  Why bother?  All the good decent shows are all but disappeared.  And what shows were good and entertaining can now be found on the internet.  Or if you still have a television you can purchase them on DVD. 

2011 has also seen the rise of what I like to call ...  the "Stuck on Stupid Syndrome" or S.O.S.S. for short!    

Where else but on a planet taken over by the utterly stupid can you find a law that clearly prohibits TEXTING ON A CELL PHONE WHILE DRIVING???!!! 

If you weren’t stupid to begin with -- you wouldn’t have to be told that texting and/or talking on the telephone is  a really stupid idea!  And there wouldn't have been a need to pass a  law to  prohibited it!   But Stupid people have to be told it’s not a good idea --- that it‘s really stupid To TEXT and/or TALK on the telephone  while driving … because they are STUPID!

Same thing with drinking booze and driving.  People too stupid to know if you are drinking,  it slows down and messes up your reactions.  What really amazes me is the drunks who are so drunk they can't stand but still believe they can drive a car!  STUPID!  Tellin' ya! 

Then there are the stupid people who like to pretend they are clever.  They're the ones that will explain to you that talking to someone in the car  next to you is distracting and that having children in the car is distracting.     My reply to that line of logic?  If you are THAT easily distracted -- then you don't need to be driving in the first damn place because you are apparently too damn stupid to focus on what is important!

Wit respect to that very "clever statement" ... I do have a few suggestions though (of course I do!).


If the kids are the cause of said distraction -- you know they are ill behaved -- you know they are going to act up while you are driving you can either (1) do what our parents did and pull over; (2)  threaten them with bodily harm or knock them upside their heads or BOTH; or (3) duct tape them together and toss them in the back seat;  or (4) just  leave them at home!

If you have a friend and/or family member who is a virtual chatty cat -- and you know they are a chatty cat -- and you know they will distract you with all their chatting --- you can (1) threaten to throw them out; (2) throw them out; (3) duct tape up and toss'em in the back seat; or (4) just leave them at home!

Actually if you are among the truly stuck on stupid -- it's just best you stay at home and watch your stupid "reality tv shows!  It's best for all involved really!

Of course, stupid people are not going to do any of that.  Rather than  taking any steps that remotely resemble intelligent and responsible actions-- they prefer risking life and limb of not only themselves -- but that of innocent by standers!  Which of course results in life altering injuries, unnecessary deaths and MORE DAMN LAWS!

Now ... If you still believe there are no stuck on stupid people on this planet -- I will refer to all those  labels that had to be placed on certain products to keep the stupid people from harming themselves--and each other.    It's been an on-going problem for years!   And now -- they have slowly taken over the entire planet -- and gaining in numbers!

Proof positive that stupid people have taken over the planet, and continue to breed like rabbits, is based on this one all important fact -- and it as follows ....  long ago,  you were hard pressed to find more than two village idiots at any given time!   Now ... its the other way around!  NOW you are hard pressed to find more than two NON-STUCK ON STUPID people in the same village.  In some instances -- the entire village  is nothing BUT idiots! 

Those of us who have any measure of good sense, any level of comprehension skills pass the kindergarten level,  and any type of logical and analytical abilities,  can now consider themselves  on the Endangered Species list!

Unfortunately, the American government has seen fit to close down the space program.  So we're stuck on this rock until one of us comes up with a serum that cures stupidity or builds an outer space Noah's Ark so we non stuck on stupid types can haul ass!


*~*~*~*~*~*


Hopefully, 2012 will be the year  our old friends Good Sense (formerly known as "common" sense), Common Courtesy and Logic will return.   After all, 2012 is being hailed as the year of enlightenment!  So there is hope!  

Yea ... I know!  I'm a dreamer!

The Empress on 2011 -- Part Two

In 2011, while the general public continued on with their various distractions -- Congress sneaked several bills under the wire.    One was Bill S 1867.    This is the bill that gives the military  the right to arrest and detain anyone they believe to be a threat against America.   

Now I know that our politicians are sworn to uphold the Constitution and protect this nation against threats both foreign and domestic.   I get that.    But history has shown the down side of giving the military that much control.     Germany.  Russia.  China.  Korea.  Are only a few examples, both past and present, of that downside.

Many are stating that folks just got all worked up over this bill.  That it doesn’t apply to “good Americans.”   And good Americans have nothing to fear.  Yea?  Interesting.    Many Austrians and Germans were told they had nothing to fear so long as they were “good patriots.”     Yea, and we all know how that panned out.  Don’t we?

So who determines who is a good American and who  is a terrorist?    The government?   Yea?  Well here’s a sampling of the government’s definition of what a suspected terrorist is.

According to Sen.  Rand Paul (R-KY):

“We’re talking about American citizens who can be taken from the United States and sent to a camp at Guantanamo Bay and held indefinitely.  There are laws on the books right now that characterize who might be a terrorist: someone missing fingers on their hands is a suspect, according to the Department of Justice.

Someone who has guns, someone who has ammunition that is weatherproofed, someone who has more than seven days of food in their house can be considered a potential terrorist.  {emphasis added}

If you are suspected because of these activities, do you want the government to have the ability to send you to Guantanamo Bay for indefinite detention?”



And before any of you go crying about how I am passing on fear -- shut your pie hole!   Pointing out the truth and potential hazards is not fear mongering.    If you get all tingly with fear by someone speaking and/or pointing out the  truth -- that’s your challenge to overcome!  

I will remind each of you that Y2K was a potential threat.  However it was thwarted due to people becoming consciously aware

The more consciously aware you are of the things going on around you -- the better your position to buffer it, improve upon it and/or thwart it.  


If it resonates with a dark dense energy -- Shed light on it and it will shrink!


Speaking of shedding a little light on the subject …  there was the light bulb bill … which was thankfully overturned!  And you know why don’t you?  Because lots of folks became … what?  Anyone?  Anyone?  Yea!  That’s right!  Now you’re getting it!

There was a great deal more passed that falls under suspicion -- I urge each person reading this blog to do the research, become consciously aware and SPEAK OUT in the coming new year! 

*~*~*~*~*~*


The more I think back on the last four years -- and the more I see what is going on in our country ... I keep hearing the words from one of my favorite Star Wars movies ... 

"So this is how liberty dies...with thunderous applause."  Padmé Amidala ~ Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith

2012 is the year we will be voting for President of the U.S.A.   And again, as it was in 2008,  it appears the pickings are slim -- very slim!

Granted -- I am not what you would call ... fond ... of any politician!  I find the majority of them to be lacking of any real logic, good sense and backbone!

If it were left up to me -- I would fire every last one of them (without severance pay) and invoke one term tenures for their replacements!

Thankfully, many more people have waken up and learned from their stupid mistakes of 2008.      The good news -- you don't find as many ass kissing supporters  as in 2008.  Sure -- they're still out there -- still hoping to find favor with the current leader and administration.  But their numbers -- thankfully -- are dwindling!

Knowledge is a power tool.  The information is out there -- and is making it's way throughout the nation via the internet.  Which is probably one of many reasons the current administration is wanting to shut down the internet through stiff "regulation."

They don't want people learning the truth!  Which is one of their biggest mistakes. 


The American people found a way back in the day long before Google -- and they will find a way should their virtual voice  be declared a threat to the fadder-land ... I mean to America!

As I have stated in previous blogs -- and will continue to state -- I  hold out hope!  Call me a dreamer if you want! But  believe that Good always wins out!  How high the cost of that win -- is all dependent upon how quickly the rest of the world's population is willing to let go of their stupidity, their fears of loss and the unknown!

May 2012 be that year!
