I will preface this with the fact that I am not gay and I do believe that being gay is not a choice. I am absolutely flabbergasted that gay marriage is such an ‘issue’ when we have mass catastrophes like wars, oil leaks, financial crisis, housing market, hunger, and probably … [Read more...]
Illegal Immigration
I will start this conversation by saying that I believe our government is largely at fault for making this issue so ridiculous. Things need to be done to make the procedure more efficient for those that want to come here LEGALLY. I have heard stories about immigrants that really … [Read more...]
Firing People Doesn’t Always Solve Problems
It’s kind of astonishing to me that anytime something goes wrong people get trigger happy with the firing of those they think are responsible. While I absolutely do think people should be fired when they are the guilty party, often times it just seems the media, the government, … [Read more...]
24 Hour News Cycle: Good or Bad?
The 24 hour news cycle can be a great thing, if used for good instead of stupidity. When looking to fill their web pages, their hour or half hour long shows, or their newspaper pages; why do they resort to over analyzing and drama instead of “feel good” stories? Well, as much as … [Read more...]
What Is Your Legacy?
Have we lost our courage and conviction to form our own educated thoughts and stand by them? Why do we allow TMZ, 24 hour cable news, politicians, athletes, and entertainers dictate who and what we are? Are we the cattle that they herd from one mindless thing to the next? We are … [Read more...]

Let Your Voice Be Heard, Maybe
I am a firm believer in letting your voice be heard in local and national politics. Let the elected officials (um, they work for us) know how you feel, but (and this is a BIG BUT), please educate yourself and then choose your point of view on each issue. Republicans are not … [Read more...]
Cutting Education To Create More Welfare Recipients
This is one of the most perplexing things that happens during economic downturns here in California, and the whole United States. When leaders have to start finding ways to balance a budget (which they haven't done in such a long time I wonder why they even continue to try) they … [Read more...]
I Don’t Have The Time To Stand Up For Myself
The topic of "taking our country back" creates so many thoughts in my head I don't really know where to start. I was listening to a small, local radio station while driving this morning and was reminded, yet again, of my frustrations with people; me included. We bitch and … [Read more...]
Politicians: From Sacramento to D.C.
I’m super curious if Sacramento, CA. has a clue to what it’s doing to its citizens and small businesses. All you have to do is look around or chat with small business owners and it’s quite obvious they don’t know their arse from their elbow. I don’t give a rats whatever about … [Read more...]
