Running with the devil
Also car thefts are down 2.6% nationally. Just a little information I thought everyone could use. Reading my post of yester-year, or there abouts, I see many grammatical errors. Those errors will remain, as a reminder of my state of mind.
In the headlines today, I now all but have a job. It's been nice sitting around on my ass contemplating things, but it now appears that the system has called me back to do my part for society. Actually, in a less romantic interpretation, I landed a job as a math TA and am pretty fucking lucky to be able to continue my education. Without this development, it is likely that I would have convinced myself that sitting on my ass is actually a legitimate occupation minus the income. And if I could support myself doing such, I actually think that this is true. How did you get where you are? Pat Robertson prayed to Jesus to get where he's at and now he's calling for "dictator" death. He made the mistake of not specifying the pronunciation, as he actually prayed to Jesus (Hay-sus). In related news, sort of, we will all remain slaves of a greater invisible power until further notice do to (today) high terror levels. I hate to say this again, as it seems to becoming clichè, but freedom is by no means free. For example, notice Wal-Mart's newest employee advertisement:
"Work for Wal-Mart, where we expand our wealth with the use of your back! Your healthy, strong, sexy back."
It's enticing and flattering. To think that my back is ever so sexy and that I can actually assist Wal-Mart in their continual enrichment. God bless Arkansas. See? Freedom isn't free, in fact, it actually costs you now to be a slave.
Now I have a story for my loyal readers that will send their neck ties into knots, allow their dogs to do backflips, and force their dads to flunk last year's math. As I drove back from northern Minnesota, formerly the Great White North, I was confronted with a lone piece of graffiti painted on an interstate bridge. Mind you, I've rarely, if ever have seen bridge graffiti within a three or four state region around these parts. It wasn't painted well, or even largely noticeable. However, it was its singularity that made it shine. It said only "godproven.com." I actually saw it a couple of months ago and only had the fleeting thought that I should take a picture and add it to the religious exposè series. But that was a while back, so I figured it wasn't worth my time, probably just another run-of-the-mill anti-abortion site. Amazing yes, that the northern anti-abortion crowd had begun net use to push their agenda, but interesting no. This time around, I decided to take a mental note that would remind me to actually check it out. I did just that yesterday. A basic plain text page with some use of totally incorrect science to prove that god exists. Nothing really new here. But... and that's a loud 'but,' there just happens to be slightly over 100 pages of information here. With the first few pages you're led to believe that it's going to be a lot of uneccesary bible quoting and rambling, which isn't at all incorrect, but I have to admit that the rambling at least provides a little fun. I scanned nearly every page, and the contradictions are ridiculously numerous. For example, first this prophetic wizard attempts to prove god by way of chemistry, then denounces such science as completely false; conservative don't have a voice, but minimum wage is way to low and health care should be free; people are forced to go into needless wars, but non-christians should pay the price. He does the same with mathematics, then produces about 40 or so illustrations of inventions ranging from the "pinwheel generator" (which has been around for a long time by the way, and is in fact a perpetual motion device) to earthquake-proof structures to water pressure reducing dykes. Now, not to pretend that I know everything about anything, but of course, one can clearly see that these things hold no real credibility for a million reasons. Ummm, anyway, I guess more than anything the point is not vindicate oneself by disproving a bunch of shit, but rather seeing that this person is quite possibly just a twelve year old kid making neat inventive drawings of forts and things... clearly proving that there is a god... I guess. Everything is discussed, so I suggest checking it out, at least the inventions. The pinwheel generator is on page 40 or so. It's just too bad our capitalistic government is hiding this from us. What's new?

whoa! that was some crazy shit! wow! You're right... this person is holding in his or her mind many seemingly unrelated concepts.
A true conspiratorialist, really. I'm always wondering whether lots of people actually hold these types of beliefs, in terms of things that don't quite jibe as defined by the typical sources, and I come to the conclusion: no, probably not.
I would like to someday read all that this person has to say. For now, stopped at how Jimmy Carter was responsible for 9-11, which sort of makes sense, actually, even if it's LESS sense than Reagan and Bush Sr being responsible.
To each crackpot his own crack, I guess.
