Idle Thoughts

Daily musings and demented, psychotic ponderings

I like music a lot, I played guitar most of my life and even was in a band once. I could spend hours playing music by myself or entertaining others. I was good, maybe even pretty good, but never REALLY good. I have 3 Fender Guitars that now have an inch of dust on them. I haven't touched them since March 25, 2001 and I never will again.

PUBLIC ASSHOLES

Okay, there is a lot of whining these days from public officials all crying about their budgets. Boo hoo don’t cut my budget they all say. Then come the scare tactics if you cut our budgets the Police Departments and the Fire Departments say that they will not come to help any more.
ALL RIGHT! Who the fuck do they think they are? They are paid with tax dollars and if they threaten to not help any more then every fucking one of them need to be fired!
Sheriff McGinnis in Sacramento is going around crying like a little girl threatening to not respond to personal crimes and even armed robbery. Sheriff McGinnis is the first asshole that needs to be fired and if the rest are not going to respond to every call that comes in then what are they getting paid for?
This morning on the news they were reporting of a gas station convenience store in L.A. that had just been robbed and the crook ran off down the street and supposedly climbed into an access tunnel on the freeway.
The news showed the major freeway shut down stranding 100,000 motorists on their way to work. It showed a dozen police officers and another dozen firemen all standing around this hole wondering if this little punk ass bitch was ever going to come out.
Well if there are so many police and firemen that they can allow a couple of dozen to stand around a fucking hole waiting for a 2 bit robber to come out then I say they have way too fucking many and they need to lay off a bunch of those cocksuckers. Further more if the people running those departments like Sheriff McGinnis think that it is okay to close down a freeway and stop thousands of taxpayers from getting to work in order to catch some dumbass that probably only got away with fifty bucks, then they need to have their ass’s fired as well!
What they should have done was park a car with one wheel on the access tunnel cover so the little bastard inside couldn’t get out and then open the freeway back up and just check on the hole once in a while to see if the little asshole was ready to come out yet.
Where do these dumbass public officials come from, the Nancy Pelosi school of public management?

Who are we?

When we look in the mirror what do we see?
Do we know who we are? Do we even know what we are? I don’t think we do.
We, meaning human beings, all human beings are what we are told we are by our parents. They too were told who they are by theirs and so on and so on. What if they don’t know?

We think of ourselves in terms of what we have been taught by all those around us, our parents, the politicians, the physicians and most importantly the clergy. Throughout history religion has defined human beings on this planet. Why, how?

We know there were cavemen; we have their bones in our museums. We have determined how old they are through the use of carbon dating and other methods that the brainiacs have figured out so we know that the history taught to us in the various religious doctrines is wrong.

So having said that, all the rules that have defined humans on this Earth were not Devine but rather quite human in origin. That means everything we think we are was determined by some old jackass thousands of years ago based merely on that persons or groups values at the time.

In other words lying, murder, rape, theft, cursing even homosexuality is not necessarily wrong it just didn’t set well with that ancient jackass and so he declared all the things he did not like to be wrong and therefore a sin against the GOD that he invented to take the heat so people wouldn’t gang up on him and beat his ass.

This may sound a little bizarre until you really consider that we do not know who we are. Without all those rules and laws and religious morals what are we?

This is important why? Because in order to progress as a species we first must be enlightened and as long as we believe in lies about what guides us we cannot evolve. Think about it, almost all the trouble in the world is caused by religion and has been since time out of mind.

If we woke up tomorrow and there were no religions and no religious morals to impede free will and no Gods to fight over and no churches to collect and horde the worlds treasures and force their will on the people and make them feel guilty for merely being humans, I believe this planet would be a much different place.

I think human beings would ultimately do the right things by each other but there wouldn’t be groups forcing their will on all the others. People would no longer do things in the name of someone or something else; they would just do it because they feel it is right.

It is religion and its Gods that teach intolerance not the human condition.
