You know what Left-Wingers and Right-Wingers have in common? Neither of them have a sense of humor, and both want to suppress ideas they don’t like.

I finally watched Pan’s Labyrinth a few weeks ago. I loved it. If you haven’t seen it, rent it. Just keep in mind, it’s NOT a movie for kids. The movie showed the Fascists as cold and callous, kind of the way I see today’s Leftists.

“No Free Speech for Fascists!,” I remember them rallying on my former campus. You want to censor someone? Just call them a fascist. They tried to get a Professor fired for being against Affirmative Action. What a horrible, horrible man he must have been. When I think of the worst people in history, I immediately think of (in no order) Joseph Stalin, Idi Amin, Adolf Hitler, Mao, Pol Pot, Elizabeth Bathory, and that evil college Professor who was against Affirmative Action. Yes, no Free Speech for Fascists.

Political Correctness is censorship. I’m calling a spade a spade. It’s the Left’s way of censoring ideas they don’t like.

Yes, there are limits to speech, and the limits are agreed upon by just about everyone with a rational mind. I cannot email all my friends your credit card number. That’s not free speech, that’s a criminal act. If I’m mad at my company, I cannot email its competitors our source code. Also, I cannot slander you. If you are a child molester, I can print on my webpage that you are a child molester. If you are not, I cannot legally call you one. That is called “slander.”

As ugly as it was, Don Imus‘ stupid racial slur is Free Speech. I didn’t like it, and those women were far from nappy-headed hos. They seemed to handle themselves very professionally, despite the derogatory slur. More power to them, and I hope each one of them will go on to lead happy, successful lives.

Should he have lost his job? No. Now, if one of those women were to smack him across the head, well, he would deserve what he gets, and I don’t think any of us will have too much sympathy for him. In fact, some of us may laugh.

Funny, Imus loses his job, but Rosie O’Donnell can make fun of Chinese people all she wants and doesn’t even get a slap on the wrist. Well, I take that back, she eventually did get canned because she kept getting in stupid fights. Not because of making fun of Chinese people though.

I don’t like Don Imus. I don’t like Howard Stern either. I think they’re both low life idiots who are contributing to the Jerry Springerization of America. However, they have the Right to do that. We have the Right to turn it off.

UPDATE: This just added - this also applies to the people who want to ban Harry Potter.  If you don’t like that stuff, then move to a theocracy.  There are plenty of them around the world you can choose from.

I’ve been blogging for over two years now. I remember starting a blog after seeing my friend Dave’s blog, which was really good. Unfortunately, Dave rarely spends any time on it. I can’t blame him because he’s very busy nowadays.

Sadie Lou recently quit her blog, and it’s really sad. I loved her blog, for it was one of the most honest blogs on the internet. It’s just straight up, no fluff. I think I hold back too much, and I censor myself too much. I’ve written countless articles that I thought were too far over the line, so I never posted them. I can’t see her doing that because she’s the type of blogger with guts enough to post whatever she wanted to say. It’s really a shame to see her leave the blogging world.

I quit blogging once for almost a year, May ‘06 to February ‘07. I got burned out. I decided to come back because I liked doing it and missed it. I decided that if I were to come back, it would be because I loved doing it, and if it were a chore, I wouldn’t do it.

Then a friend of mine decided to make a website about movies. He wanted an all encompassing site that would have movies, music, and babes. It was my idea to add blogs to it, and I showed him how to use WordPress, which I prefer over Blogger. I’ve always been an Open Source advocate, because it’s simply the right thing to do.

So here I am, over two years old now. And yes, I’m still enjoying it. I think there’s a good chance it will live on to at least a third year, and hopefully many more. Yes, I will take breaks from blogging. And yes, I’ll go on vacation or go hunting a lot still, so if I don’t post for a week or two, and don’t visit your site in that time period either, don’t take it personally. If I quit blogging, I’ll let you know. Until then, if I’m absent, assume I’m out of town and away from a computer. I’ll definitely be away this coming weekend. See you later on next week. Have a happy weekend and a great Memorial Day (if you’re American).  I’m taking several days off and getting the heck out of Dodge.

I am blessed. By my house, we have six supermarkets that carry milk free from rBGH (recombinant Bovine Growth Hormone). Both Safeway’s and Trader Joe’s milk is 100% free from rBGH, as are Whole Foods and stores that carry certified Organic milk. Even Target has it, but the one by our house sells two milk products, one that may or may not have it, and one that is stamped that it doesn’t have it.

What is rBGH, you may ask? The Monsanto Corporation invented an artificial type of Bovine Growth Hormone that they market to farmers as POSILAC®. The drug successfully increases milk production by 10%. Sounds good, right? 10% more milk = more profits. The thing is, they have to include a stamp on their product that there’s a side effect - an increase in clinical mastisis for the cows. In addition, other studies have found a dramatic increase in lameness.

Now Monsanto wants you to believe there’s no health problems associated with you drinking the milk and getting health problems. The only thing they’ve found are some people are sensitive to milk that has it.

Like Mrs. Z for instance. She used to throw up when she drank milk, and she was under the impression she was allergic to milk. One day, I bought her Organic milk, and she not only held it down, she loved it. Years later, I bought her non-Organic milk that did not have rGBH. She held it down too, and now she enjoys a glass of milk daily plus milk with her morning cereal.

Is rGBH bad for you if you’re not sensitive to it? Who knows? POSILAC® is currently banned in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and every country in the EU. Weird, huh?

It’s legal in America though, where the Monsanto Corporation has a strong lobby. When Oakhurst Dairy put a label on their milk that stated they pledged their milk was free from Artificial Growth Hormone, Monsanto Corporation sued them. Coincidently, a few scientists felt pressured when they researched the affects of rGBH on humans. If you want to read more, read this:

Disturbing, huh?

Well, I’m not going to tell you what kind of milk to buy. All I’m saying is this family does not buy milk with rGBH. If you’d prefer not to as well, and if you live in America, buy your milk from Trader Joe’s, Safeway, Whole Foods, or buy it specifically labeled Organic. Also Chipotle Mexican Grill’s sour cream is free from rGBH. Other stores often sell it, but you have to look on the milk itself and look for a label that says specifically that it does not contain rGBH. If you know of any others, please let me know.

I’m not rubbing it in, I’m just saying what is.  The thing I have issue with what Paris said is that she said that they’re picking on her because of who she is.  I’m calling bullshit.

I have never been to court other than jury duty, but knew one judge and one of my business partners knew another.  He actually has been to court more than once, and can vouch for me here.

R.E.S.P.E.C.T.

If you have to go to court, ALWAYS SHOW UP ON TIME.  I cannot emphasize this enough.  Nothing pisses off a judge more than disrespect, and you NEVER want to disrespect their time.  Paris Hilton was late to court.

Wear your most conservative clothes.  If you’re a man, wear a black suit and tie. If you’re a woman, wear the equivalent.  Shower, and comb your hair.  Look presentable. And address the judge “yes, Your Honor,” “no, Your Honor,” “I will, Your Honor,” “Thank you, Your Honor.”

Now, if you look at what Paris did, imagine yourself in her shoes.  You know, you would have gotten 45 days too.  Or more.  She got lucky.

You’re on probation.  You have a suspended license.  So, what do you do? You drive drunk at night with your lights off (on a suspended license).  Hmm…I wonder what will happen.  She’s lucky she didn’t kill anyone.  Then to top it off, she shows up to court late.

Now, her stupid mother is bad mouthing the judge.  You got to wonder what’s wrong with this family.  It’s as non-normie as they come, and definitely do not deserve the luxuries that come with their inherited money.

Paris is lucky she only got 45 days.  Seeing that she could have gotten more, I probably would have given her more.  She’s lucky the judge is on the lenient side.
