The Dumb Things I Hear



When a woman running for office tells you that she hates politics after you make a couple of  political assertions with the hope of changing the subject...

it's because she doesn't want to embarrass you. 

There are a few things that I tire of hearing.  First, I dislike it when people approach me freaking out because of the false belief that the United States owes most of its gross domestic product to China.

Nope...

If the US defaults, the biggest losers will be the citizens who invested in bonds and contributed to social security.  American citizens are owed about 53% of the debt.  Then China (9.8% of the debt), Japan (9.6%), the United Kingdom (5.1%) and several smaller debts to other countries. 

No one has to worry about learning Chinese just yet.


Another thing that I often hear is that that Julian Assange was a folk hero hated by governments. 

Nope.

Activists who are actually a viable threat usually end up dead or harassed* and that Assange seems to be protected somehow.  Even his rape charge isn't really bad.  So what?  He didn't put a sock on his worm...it's not like he threw a woman to the ground, pulled out a gun and ripped the he!! out of her..if he did then he must die a slow painful death at the hands of man-hating feminists.

How many men would agree that failing to cover ol' woody is an act of rape if the woman consented to sex?

Very few...  

Assange is a joke. 

Ask yourself...

Would any corporation be stupid enough to give an international criminal a talk show? 

Would political leaders agree to go on a talk show with an international criminal? 

NO!!! 

I believe that Assange is a disinformation agent and it is best to take what was on WikiLeaks with a grain of salt. 

It appears that I was right.

If Assange were a criminal and hated by governments world-wide, the set would have been shut-down before it got off the ground, he'd be assassinated before the first interview and no politician in his or her right mind would agree to show up.



Now, those aren't the dumbest things I've heard. 

The dumbest thing I've heard was that the constitution doesn't allow for birthright citizenship.  The fourteenth amendment exists because black people freed from the bonds of slavery needed to be protected with citizenship and birthright citizenship was the best way at the time to extend those protections.  A man approached me after a political event and went into a mini-rant.  He actually thought that the citizen clause was a myth put out there to serve Mexicans coming into this country illegally.  The guy even gave me a little Constitution booklet.  I wonder why he never read it? 

Oh, well...


Politics is show business for ugly people and, damn it, the ugliness is not only on the outside.  It's all acting.  It's all lies and if you tell the truth, you get shouted down. 

I've been there and done that. 

Love ya,

S. 

*I speak from experience.  Within one month of becoming an activist, I had a death threat from a guy who claimed to work at the city.  My last threat was in July when a city lawyer sent a promise to continue to harass me due to my ex suing the city but that they'd blame my activism for any misbehavior on their part.  That's okay.  I'm a musician.  I always carry recording equipment. 
I've gotten to the point that any threat I get is uploaded to the Internet in several places.

I'm a small threat.  I'm fairly even-keeled and if I end up dead, my family will post 380+ documents that will show just how nasty the city can be.  

They've been pretty nice since November.  I wish the hacking would stop....maybe if I find the right virus....(scheming)....maybe...could that work?  Hmmmm..

Considering what I'm dealing with from my ex and the in-laws, I would say that the threat from the city is probably fairly minor.  All threads lead back to my ex, even the abuse I got from the city: they cite him as the reason they threaten me but promise to blame it on my politics.  Now that I think about it, the threat to continue to harass me from the attorney representing the slanderous Tax Audit Supervisor was forwarded to me by my ex's lawyer.  

Interesting.




I've got an extensive Voodoo doll collection now. 

Sewing always helps ease my anxiety. 

The problem, though, is that I am always running out of pins. 

Why could that possibly be? 

Doans anyone?
