Today I figured out what to do with all those terrorists in Cuba. You find the most hostile enviornment inside the United States. I'm not talking about places like the desert, or an island, or such. I'm talking about finding a neighborhood where people absolutely do not want these people. That's where you put the prison.
Next you issue a shotgun and ammo to every home owner in a 5 mile radius of the prison with these instructions. "Shoot first, call second. When you run out of ammo training, bring the empty box in to be exchanged for a full box." You also give them a special, direct line phone number to a task force when they see suspuscious activity.
During prisioner orientation, you tell them all these things and say "Welcome to the second ammendment". No chance they will be planning a prison break.

I think I'm actually going to miss Sen. Kennedy
First of all I haven't been a fan of Sen. Kennedy over the years, and in this last year I found myself waiting for him to die.
Now that he's gone and as I've been listening to coverage on NPR about his legacy and such I find myself respecting him more and more. I heard the following story this morning and I couldn't help but find myself respecting the man.
http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=112323675
I find myself respecting his work ethic, even if I don't agree with everything he says. Made me sit and hope that all elected officials work as hard as him.
The other thing that amazed me about all the coverage, or the lack there of came in comparing his death to that of Michael Jackson. Sen. Kennedy did so much good for this county and what contribution did Michael Jackson give? How much coverage has been given to each of them? Why do we as Americans have our priorties so screwed up!

Sex Education in schools
I just saw a news story about how school boards are looking to have two sex education programs that parents can choose from. (http://www.ksl.com/?nid=148&sid=7331553) One would teach abstinance only, the other would be a conprehensive program. So this lady from Planned Parenthood was quoted as saying something like "Chlamydia is the No. 1 communicable disease in Utah". What she fails to note it that it is 100% preventable! It's really quite simple, teach students that there are consequences to ALL choices. Oh yeah and that you won't get an STD if you keep your pants up and zipped!
Is that really so difficult for teens to understand? Here's a novel idea, have guest speakers visit high school health classes, like adults that had pre-marital sex as teens and now suffer from the consequences. Teens will always make their own decisions no matter what you teach them, but maybe you'll presuade one to change their mind that that's worth it in my book. I say this because it may be my kid some day and most reasonable people when presented with correct information will make informed decisions.
What happened to holding people responsible for their actions? Why do parents let their kids do what ever they want and then not hold them responsible! I really think parents are more of the problem then the actual youth, because they don't teach them correct principles in the home. Parents have stopped parenting their children. It seems like parents are more interested in giving their kids everything they want under the guise that they didn't have what they wanted, so they'll let their kids live the life they wanted. Lack of responsibility, lack of dicipline, lack of concequences all contribute to the core problem.
Here's the final solution. Parents, GROW UP! Hold your kids responsible for their actions. WHAT A NOVEL CONCEPT! Or what if we made parents responsible for their kids actions. If the court can prove that the parent hasn't done their job in teaching the kids, they suffer the same consequences. Kid get's an STD, you loose your health insurance for the remainder of your life! Your kid has a kid, you pay child support for the rest of your life! Kid has to go to jail, you go to jail right along with them!

Sounds like a movie...
I heard this story on NPR today.
http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=106855628
Sounds much like a movie I've not only seen but own! After you read this story see the 1993 Nicolas Cage and Samuel L. Jackson movie Amos & Andrew.
Funny how life mimics art.

Never thought I'd see the day
I never thought I'd see the day when a Democratic President would rather enforce existing gun laws instead of making new ones that won't get enforced anyway!
http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5gjfh3lr87qvFC6xE-GyllobR-UZwD97JQMD84
I'm not one that thinks I need to own an assult rifle. I don't think I'll ever own one personally, but I don't see a reason to restrict law abiding citizens from owning them. The problem with gun laws is they don't really keep them out of the hands of criminals.
I had a discussion today at work about having firearms for personal protection and one of the ladies I work with was pretty adament that we should ban all firearms from being owned in the home. She'd has a neice killed because of a gun accident and this was her reasoning.
I told her that by that reasoning we should ban all automobiles from the road because more people are killid by cars than guns every day. She said that we have to have cars to get around. I asked her where that was written.
The problem is that there isn't enough education on firearms safety. Kids need to learn from a young age that firearms are dangerous and what to do when they see one. If we teach our children at a very young age, they will be responsible as they get older.

Presidential Puppy
Just saw a new story about flak that President Obama is getting for his choice in dog. Here's the thing, IT'S JUST A DOG! That's a source of critisism for political pundits? Are you kidding me!?
I was just looking at a blog post by PETA (I'll have to post my thoughts about them at a later date.) PETA has got to be the biggest waste of anything. Here's the link to their blog post.
http://blog.peta.org/archives/2009/04/petas_response.php
I can't believe they wasted electricity posting this.
just so you all know, I think PETA really stands for People Eating Tasty Animals.

$7,500 Tax Credit
Can we stop calling the $7,500 Tax loan from the Federal Government a Tax "Credit". It's crap! American's are up to their eyeballs in debt already, they don't need more that they owe the Uncle Obama. Aren't we going to give him enough through the stimulus package?
If you really want to give American's a real tax break, why not change the tax system? Why not figure out a better way to increase the revenue in our country? Obama campaigned against the "failed policies" of the Bush Administration, but I think it goes way beyond that, it goes as far back as the creation of the current tax code.
Speaking of the stimulus package. Is it really going to help our country to give Billions and Billions of dollars to the same people that screwed us up in the first place really going to help?
