If you are 18 years old or more, and want to run with a stick, by all means, run with a stick.  If you fall down and poke your eye out, well, you’re an idiot.  Don’t expect me to pay for your stupidity though.  In other words, don’t demand the taxpayers to reimburse you.

If you poke someone else’s eye out, then that’s where we have a problem.  In that case, yes, you should be punished.

It is NOT the government’s job to be your mother.  That is NOT the role of the government, but every year, it seems like more and more the government is absorbing that role.  Every year, people are demanding government and taxpayers bail them out for their own stupidity and every year, you hear people trying to justify why those idiots should be bailed out.

This running with a stick analogy applies across the board - drugs, prostitution, pretty much anything that is victimless.  If you want to spend your weekends with a pair of hookers and ten lines of coke, well, so be it.  I do not believe in telling another  adult what to do as long as it doesn’t affect me.  Period.

Now if that person develops a coke habit and has to steal to get more coke, then don’t cry if I shoot him when he tries to steal my DVD player.

The same applies to corporate welfare.  What I don’t get is the bank bailout.  I used to hear liberals all the time complain about corporate welfare.  It was their big rallying point at one time - the double standards that conservatives have where they go off on people getting welfare, but when corporations get welfare, they’re strangely silent.

On this point, I agreed with the liberals.  I don’t want anyone to get welfare, except people who are too crippled to work.  And that includes stupid corporations who are too dumb to run a profitable business.  Let them fail.  Propping up corporations that aren’t profitable is bad for the country, bad for the economy, bad, bad, bad.

Yet this time around, it’s the liberals who are screaming for corporate welfare.  I don’t get it.  They go off on conservatives for being inconsistent, then here, they’re as inconsistent as you can possibly get.

So once again, I strongly do not believe the government should be your mother.  If you’re over 18 and you want to run with a stick, feel free.  If you poke out your own eye, don’t cry to me.  If you poke someone else, then we have a problem.  Just don’t expect a handout when you get hurt.

Be careful of your government and the media.  The swine flu pandemic is a lie.

Right now as we speak, the Mexican government is using swine flu for a power grab, to have measures equivalent to the Orwellian PATRIOT Act.  I’m hoping Mexican citizens fight it.  We don’t need a police state right next to us.

Swine flu is NOT that big of a deal.  1000 people around the entire WORLD will die from it.  That’s about 10-11 days of driving deaths in the US alone.  Yes, let me put it this way - more people will die in CAR ACCIDENTS in two weeks than people dying from swine flu in the entire WORLD.

Are you still scared of the swine flu? If you are, don’t be.  I’m hoping our government doesn’t do the same crap the Mexican government is trying to do.

If anything, you should be scared of drivers not watching where they’re going.  The other thing, the drug companies are loving it.  People are panicking and buying drugs like crazy.  Their profits will go up because people are stupid and overreact to everything.

Remember SARS or that Avian flu?

Remember SARS? That was supposed to be a horrible pandemic.  You had some stupid doctor quoted as saying that something like 10 million Britons could be affected by it.  What happened? Less than a thousand died.  Wow.

Then there’s that Avian flu that was supposed to be so lethal and got people to panic.  What happened? Well, not much.  According to the World Health Organization, not even 300 people died.  Wow.  Scary.

Don’t buy it folks.  Like I said, watch out for bad drivers.  You will NOT die of this swine flu.

–

If you do have a flu, take your Vitamins.  Eat carrots or sweet potatoes for Beta Carotene, and take Vitamin C and probably a multi-vitamin tablet as well.

Eat right, get plenty of rest, and you’ll live.  It may knock you out for a week, but you’ll live and be able to get back to work next week.

You will be fine.  Just don’t let your government use a disease that won’t kill that many people as an excuse to take away your Rights.  I’d be much more worried about a Police State than a stupid disease.
