bring on the ayn rand

fucking crazy people. there is this movement 'going john galt'. the idea is from ayn rand's novel atlas shrugged in which the government was taking money from those that worked and giving it to the lazy and inept. so the hard workers stopped working and formed their own countries. listen kids - i've pointed out the hard dollars before this but let's talk about the philosophy. yes, if people are just sitting on their asses why should you have to take care of them. EXCEPT - we are now at a place where over 50% of the homeless are families who were living paycheck to paycheck and miss one paycheck . . . then there is the fact that often working doesn't pay as well. the guy who cleans our office and does the maintenance works from 7am or so until about 6 then he leaves and goes to his second job. are you really tryikng to tellme that the guy who works on the third floor estimating jobs works harder than him and therefore deserves to pay less in taxes. wtf. i wish we would just go with a flat tax. also, while other people are not entirely your concern there is a selfish side to watching out for your fellow citizens. better education = lowered crime rate. i know, i know - crime just happens because people are evil. but i guess if it weren't for all the illegals. if i get one more damned email telling me that congress is about to vote to give illegals social security money. listen up mofos; the vote was in may 2006 and what it actually was for was to prevent people who became legalized from collecting the money they had already contributed. yeah, cuz that's the part people like to ignore. MOST illegal aliens pay money into social security that then goes to us. they get fact social security numbers in order to get a job and every job pays into social security but they won't ever be able to collect that money. also, this whole - go along with us and the way we are blah blah. well, that's true to an extent but the united states is supposed to be a melting pot. that means that you don't ask the fucking chocolate to become vanilla - the chocolate and the vanilla mix together. i know, that's a bad example but i'm running out of steam. i could do a full on rant about any one of these subjects but i'm gonna try really hard to not bring these things up again. or at least not too often. i am trying to enjoy a tiny itty bitty modicum of hope and ride the wave and see what happens over the next year or so and try too ignore the fatasses of the world and their john galt bullshit.

shhhweewww - anyway, i was thinking today. you know some people have that theory that all situations in your life you are getting something out of? what they usually mean is if you are being fucked with by someone in your life. 'well, obviously she's getting something out of it or she would walk away' my mom is big on this theory. i don't know why i was thinking of it today i just was and i kind of think it's crap. i love my mom but some of her theories seem so off target. i mean, sometimes don't you think people stay in these situations cuz they are trying to do the right thing?? i mean, is that getting something out of it? sure i guess.

the other thing i thought of today - a friend told me i hadn't changed. aigh; more on that tomorrow i guess - 12am!

So do you have plans later? Or are you just going to go down to the docks

, wait for the fleet to come in?
