The Zombieslayer

If you don’t know who Lemmy Kilmister is, he’s the lead singer and bass player for a band called Motorhead.  I happen to like their music as they were a precursor to Speed Metal, a genre of music that I greatly enjoyed in the 80s.

He’s also a very intelligent man.  At 64 years of age, they’re still touring the world and still making music.  Their latest album was dang good and Lemmy seems to have the same views of war that I do.  I do not believe in glorifying war.  War is horrible.  It is hell.  There is nothing sexy about seeing your best friend’s brains spilling out on a battlefield.  Literally spilling out.

Now you know I support the troops and whenever they go off to war, I wish them a quick victory and a quick trip home.  When you got friends and family in the military serving your country, it kind of makes war a little bit more personal.

Dang.  I went off on a tangent again.  I’m not supposed to be talking war.  I’m supposed to be talking about heroin.

OK, back to topic.  I hate heroin.  I’ve never tried it.  I’ve seen it in real life plenty of times.  I’d never try that stuff.  Ever.  No desire to.

However, I think Lemmy hit the nail on the head:

“I have never had heroin but since I moved to London from north Wales in ‘67 I have mixed with junkies on a casual and almost daily basis,” he said.

“I also lived with a young woman who tried heroin just to see what it was like. It killed her three years later. I hate the idea even as I say it, but I do believe the only way to treat heroin is to legalise it.” He stated that legalisation would eradicate the drug dealer from society.

Exactly my belief.  I hate the stuff.  It destroys families, not just users.  For the record, if a heroin junkie breaks into my house, I’m shooting him dead and will have no remorse about it.  It’s for defense of my family, as a heroin junkie will do anything to get his fix, including killing your entire family to get your valuables.

But there’s simply too much demand for it.  The way to treat it is to legalize it.  I know that sounds absurd to some folks but it’s true.  Countries that have set up systems to do this have taken out the drug dealer from the equation.  And as bad as a junkie is, drug dealers are their puppet masters.  They need to be taken out.  Legalizing it takes them out.  It’s as simple as that.

Agree? Disagree? Either way, I’d love to hear what you say.

Don’t live life by what is politically correct or what is in vogue at the moment. Do what you believe to be the right thing, no matter what the opinion polls say. In the long run, you’ll be respected more for standing your ground, even if at the time they hate you.

Do you know how to tell if someone is truly a good person? You could tell if they’re a good person if they stand up for something that is right, whether it’s popular or not.  They stand up for it even if the consequences are severe.

Something to keep in mind.

If you were a Judge, and a man (or woman) shot and killed a child molester who was lawfully convicted of molesting their eight-year-old child, could you convict him (or her)?

I wouldn’t. I’d buy that person a beer.

The Bravery vs The Killers

Currently listening to The Bravery’s latest album. I heard a lot of comparison between them and The Killers. So far, like the latter band better. Who knows though, maybe they’ll grow on me.

Yes, I’m trying to listen to something that’s not Heavy Metal. Speaking of Metal, my two favorite bands (Judas Priest and Nightwish) are both coming out with new albums this year. Already got the tickets to Nightwish. Couldn’t convince Badman to join us though. I’m still working on getting him into Metal.
