From The WTF????!!!! Files (An Editorial)

"May you live in interesting times."     

Though it's unclear where that saying really came from, it packs a bit of a wallop just the same.  Because we are definitely (more so than ever before) living in "interesting times!"

More gruesome than any slasher/sci fi film, the daily news is a cesspool of horrific acts committed by individuals in the most god awful manner, for the most sickening lame ass reasons.

Boredom or Just Being a Fuck Tard?

The latest string of fucktard activity comes from Oklahoma and Indiana.  Both involving "bored teens."  Seriously?  You're bored so you go out and kill an innocent person and/or animal? WTF?!

And you wanna know what's really bad about their excuse?  Sadly and sickeningly enough saying you're bored only ranks a close second to shrugging your shoulders and muttering I dunno.  Remember that excuse?  Anyone?  Anyone?

So to ease your boredom you go out and kill innocents?   Well, guess what?  I hear there's a lot of BORED in-mates there in prison.  And I'll give ya three guesses what they do to ease their boredom!    And yours to boot!  

Bored teens kill Australian baseball player.  OMG!  This is just too much!

And in other news...yet another bored teen goes out and hunts down little kittens with a bow & arrow.  And then post pictures of his kill on Face Book.  Big Bwana out wits kittens in alley!  Oh you're such a mighty mighty hunter aren't ya?   Asshole!

Cure for Boredom???

Back when they were teenagers, my boys told me only once  they were bored.   Only once you say?  Ohhhh yea!   You see, I did what MY parents did to me when I slipped up and said I was bored, I put'em to work cleaning the house, the yard, and a wild assortment of other chores.  Naturally I had to stand over them, supervising them and reminding them that boredom is a symptom of laziness and stupidity.  Hard work is the cure!    And yes!  I sincerely believe that.  It kept my boys (and a few of their friends) from going out and doing some fucktard thing like killing a person or animals. Not to mention, my house and yard looked FABULOUS for a good long time!  

In all honesty, I say it's long past due to  lay down the law the old fashioned way.  Put them brats to work!  Let doing a good job, experienced gained,  a hot meal (or two) be their reward!  It'll look great on a resume!  And...EVERYONE will benefit!

There is plenty of litter on the streets that need to be picked up!  There's lots of graffiti needing to be cleaned off buildings, under-passes and the like.    Put their bored asses on a farm and let them work there for their room and meals.   I promise you, by the time they get finished, they'll be too pooped to be bored.  And even if they still managed to find an ounce of energy to be bored, they'll be too tired to do anything about it!  

I am serious as a heart attack people!    These work initiatives need to be implemented in every city, town, burb in every state across this Nation.  NOW! 

Work their little bored asses into the ground and you'll cut down on this freeze dried bullshit big time!

My Sacred Script: Excerpt from The ZEN of Duct Tape™©

My Sacred Script

As I sit here and ponder My Sacred Script, it appears that another layer of my old self is being stripped away. 

And just like the other layers that were removed prior to this, I am experiencing a certain pain on this day.    This pain can be liken to the labor pains of a pregnant woman ... as I know I am about to give birth to a stronger and more improved being.

A Being that has stood the test of time and endured all trials and tribulations written out in My Sacred Script.   Challenges faced and overcome in order to obtain a higher status on a spiritual level.

My prize is one of Honor and of strength.   Honor in knowing I did the best I could, and for the most part, all with good intentions.  Strength gained by overcoming adversity.  All of which was written in My Sacred Script.  And through agreements made so long ago I have become wiser; and yes, stronger.

I hold no ill will towards any being who took part in plotting my destruction or who took part in trying to prevent me from moving forward.  I know that these beings were instrumental in my growth process.  They are, were, and continue to be, without a shadow of a doubt, the most important players on this journey.

For I now see through the eyes of my Higher Self that they hold an honorable position.  They who chose and agreed to play the part of being despised and hated for their seemingly wrong doing.  Now I can see no evil they did.  Through the eyes of my Higher Self I see a truly loving entity who took on the burden to assist me in becoming a stronger being.  They honored their agreement with me in acting the part of the 'villain' as was written so long ago in My Sacred Script.   

Then there are the Dark Ones who have crossed my path time and again, those entities who have no light in their lives.  Those creatures who maliciously, and with forethought and ill intent sought out and continue to seek the destruction of any Light Being.  I know now, and see clearly, that they too were written in My Sacred Script in order to prove not just to myself, but to any and all onlookers, that the bright shining light of Love cannot be extinguished.  And it does indeed conquer all!

Now as I sit and ponder these things in My Sacred Script I can see how very far I have traveled.  I can now see clearly through the eyes of my Higher Self how very far I have come.   Though there are those who would look at my journey and see defeat, I have had many victories.     Because I know that in My Sacred Script, failure is not nor has it ever been possible.

As I turn the next page of My Sacred Script, I see how far I yet to go on this journey before I finally make it home.  I turn the page knowing that  I am what I am because of  what I have learned.   And through my learning I have become stronger ... and will continue doing ... and yes ... growing ... by those things written in My Sacred Script.

For As It Was written...

So Shall It Be Done!

Keystone XL = 37.7 Million Additional Cars on the Road **PLEASE SHARE**

MESSAGE FROM TOM STEYER: Soon President Obama will make a decision on expanding the Keystone XL pipeline. Here are some facts: It will transport more than 800,000 barrels of oil every day and emit 181 million metric tons of carbon dioxide each year. In spite of those facts, TransCanada is hitting us with a barrage of ads saying one thing:  The Keystone XL pipeline won't do any harm. If that sounds impossible, it's because it is. Building the pipeline would be the equivalent of adding 37.7 million new cars on the road every day. And I want to be clear about something: There is no way to adequately offset that damage. Anyone who tells you otherwise is spinning fairy tales. With so much misinformation on the airwaves,  it's up to us to get the truth out -- share this infographic on Facebook  and tell your friends just what is on the line: http://action.nextgenclimate.org/37-million-cars There's no scenario in which an expanded Keystone XL pipeline does less than irrevocable damage to our country's breathable air, environments from north to south, and nearby ecosystems like the Alberta Boreal forest.  Building the pipeline would be like firing up 51 new coal power plants, and there's no magic button we can press to undo that damage. Canada's plans for oil sand production would make adequate offsets impossible, but since a lot of people stand to make a lot of money off of the Keystone XL pipeline, they're trying to sell us a fairy tale in which our actions have no consequences, pollution has no impact on our environment, and they get to rake in a ton of cash while we sit back and let them. This isn't a fairy tale, this is serious. And we can't let them get away with it. Share this graphic on Facebook today: http://action.nextgenclimate.org/37-million-cars We can prevent the Keystone XL pipeline from expanding. But you and I can't do it alone -- and that's why it's so important to tell others. By the time President Obama makes his decision, our Facebook friends should be sick of hearing from us on Keystone. What's important is that they know the facts. Thanks for spreading the word,

Beekeeping Industry Sues EPA for Approval of Bee-Killing Pesticide

 National Beekeeping organizations along with the National Honey Bee Advisory Board have come together in an attempt to protect the bee industry by an appeal against EPA for its approval of the pesticide Sulfoxaflor, shown to be "highly toxic" to honey bees, and other insect pollinators. Sulfoxaflor is a new chemistry, and the first of a newly assigned sub-class of pesticides in the "neonicotinoid" class of pesticides, which some scientists across the globe have linked as a potential factor to widespread and massive bee colony collapse. The case is filed as the beekeeping industry across the country struggles for survival, and faces the costly effects of pesticides upon their businesses. 

The National Pollinator Defense Fund, American Honey Producers Association, National Honey Bee Advisory Board, the American Beekeeping Federation, and beekeepers Bret Adee, Jeff Anderson and Thomas R. Smith have filed an appeal against the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in the U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, requesting changes needed in the Sulfoxaflor label, the Biological Economic Assessment Division (BEAD) assessment of the value of pollinators and their established habits, and the EPA's Risk Assessment Process. These changes would acknowledge pollinator's critical role in the U.S. food supply, and ensure that decisions regarding new pesticides comply with applicable laws.
