The War On Stupid



Believe it or not, I'm actually serious about this.

I am honestly worried about the state of the world. People are seriously becoming stupid. Someone that you know is probably stupid. You haven't said anything because you're a nice, polite person. That has to end. Stupid people have to be called out and I'll happily tell you why.

Before you think this can't happen here...it can. It's already happening. The state of Queensland government (in Australia...a beautiful place filled with great people) is seriously considering passing laws whereby "the Government can declare any group a criminal organisation without having to present evidence to prove it." The original aim of this is to curtail outlaw biker groups like the Hell's Angels. I have no beef with the Angels, Bandidos, Grim Reapers, Pagans, or any other MC. Rock on brothers and sisters! Rock on! If a person or persons commit an illegal act, they should be prosecuted. But to call any arbitrary group a criminal organization without proof is just bullshit. It's....stupid.

The new Australian government is led by their version of our Tea Party. Ultra right wing conservatives who are incapable of looking forward because they're too busy looking backward. Had Romney won the election, I can almost guarantee you we would be looking at similar laws being passed here. Hell, isn't the NSA bad enough? Imagine the Girl Scouts or any local club you belong to being declared a criminal organization...without proof. It could happen. I'm not being paranoid. I'm watching it happen.

All of this can be blamed on the rich and their corporate entities. Let's face it, they have the money to change whatever the hell they damned well want to. Rupert Murdoch, an evil SOB if there ever was, and his corporate media empire, do a damned fine job of brainwashing the ignorant. Sure, we all laugh about Fox News...but a lot of people watch it and use it as their ONLY news source. These folks believe the whackjobs on there. They believe Jesus was a gun-toting, money lover. And of course, he was white...just like Santa.

Remember all of the states that filed for secession? How about the Republicans trying to pass laws on women's bodies? Yeah...doesn't sound so crazy now, does it? We're all essentially slaves to the corporate world already...and don't even want to admit it. Most of us probably don't even realize it. We've come to a point in time where the corporations run almost everything...and they're not done yet. They won't be finished until the very thought of freedom is a distant memory. What they want is control. Control over our minds and bodies. In their thinking, we are here to serve. Period. If they can keep us babbling on about abortion and gun laws, they can conduct business in DC without anyone watching. They can change our laws for us. And then what? Then we are fucked is what!

War On Christmas? War On Christianity? All media-based scare tactics to keep YOU from seeing the man behind the curtain, paying off the politicians to give him what he wants. And we keep allowing it to happen. That's just more "stupid".

Our kids are stupid. We are to blame for that. Parents should not try to be their kids' friend. Be parents instead....that's what the kids need. Parents make the rules...not kids, not social workers, not the media...parents. Parents need to quit being....stupid.

I can, and probably will go on and on about this...but hear me now, war has been declared. I've had enough of it. I don't want to live in a world where corporate-owned governments can tell me what I can or cannot do, think, eat, drink, say, sleep with, or associate with.  But guess what folks? With all of the STUPID going on...that's where we're headed.

Feel free to join in on the War On Stupid! It's not just mine. It's for ALL of us. If you see someone acting, being, saying, doing, posting STUPID...it's your duty to call them on it. Tell them to quit being STUPID. Take a few minutes to educate them. That's how this war will be won. Fear is based on lack of knowledge. Ignorance is not bliss...it's a deadly force that will destroy the world as we know it. Don't let stupid win.

The Money Miser

I'm usually not one to suggest products or suggest against products...unless I think they're really fantastic or utter pieces of crap. Well I'm here to tell ya, the Money Miser Coin Sorter SUCKS ROTTING ZOMBIE ASS! I've always been frugal...but don't take that as cheap . I work hard for my money and I like to save when/where I can. For the past few years (which from 2007-2010 were really tight), I've always kept a jar on the kitchen table, and when I get home at night (or in the morning as is the case most days) I dump whatever pocket change I have into said jar. I'd usually cash it in at Ye Olde Coinstar machine just before payday...in case I needed gas, lunch money, or just a night on the town. I would usually amass $60 or per month this way. This past year has been pretty decent financially so around May, I switched to a bigger jar. I hadn't taken anything OUT of the jar since around April. Well, the jar finally got so full (and so heavy I co...

New Book! (and what comes next)

 My 1st print book now exists. What a strange way to put it. I've always enjoyed writing, even when I was a kid and it wasn't cool . Honestly, I never thought I'd do anything with it. It was just another outlet for all of the ideas banging around in my head. For decades, a lot of these thoughts became songs. Now I've returned to the simplicity of words. I write because I enjoy telling stories - pretty much the same with songwriting. The only difference is that now I don't have to go on a stage or into a recording studio. There I days I miss both, but who knows...maybe one day I'll do it all again. Writers write for different reasons. Some for acclaim or notoriety. Some for profit. Same as with music, painting, sculpting, acting - I think those goals are a matter of seeking validation. But for what? Doing what you enjoy is validation enough. For years I've written this blog. In some ways, it's the perfect medium for me. I do it, it's done, published, ...

A Very Teddy Tuesday

 I told myself I wouldn't do this. I didn't want to share any part of the new book yet. But - I'm enjoying it too much, and that feels selfish. Lord knows I don't write for any reason other than to share stories, so I edited a few bits down to this little excerpt. You might like it. Might not. Might think WTF?! Might ignore it all together. No matter what you think, or if you even read it at all, I'm enjoying writing it. Those who know me won't be surprised. Yet. - MCM 6/20/26 Mid-afternoon sun spilled through a dirty window, cutting across the living room in long golden beams. Dust drifted lazily through the light. Teddy the cockroach made his way up a dusty work boot. The boot had been there longer than anyone could remember. So had the body beside it. The humans who once occupied the old house were long gone. Their furniture remained. Their toys remained. Their guns remained. Even some of the humans themselves remained, though mostly as bones and geography. T...
