The economics of alms

If you run a business you have to buy or rent the business property from the owner. You usually pay the owner from your earnings. As we have all profited from the earth, we owe at least a portion of our profits to the Owner. He has said that we can pay him back by giving to the least of our brethen: the poor. If we do not give a portion of our income to the poor, we are in open rebellion against the Owner of the earth. We claim the earth as our own, and we will perish with it.

Retarded foreign policy

Ben, my best friend in high school, had a neighbor named Bart. Ben would greet Bart, "Hi Bart." Bart would respond, "Up your a-- Gowan." Ben's last name was McGowan. Bart would then flip Ben off. Bart wasn't just angry, he was retarded. Literally. His father was retarded, and he was retarded. Some woman had used sex to take advantage of Bart's father, resulting in Bart, but that's another story. . . . U.S. foreign policy relies upon extensive military measures, including the installing and supporting of despots when it fits our fancy, and the disposing and execution of despots when they get in the way. Dictator Mugabe in Zimbabwe was installed by the U.S. Saddam Hussein was first supported by, and then disposed and executed because of the U.S. The current Iranian despotism, Ayatollah Khomeini, came to power in response of a revolution against U.S. installed and supported former dictator of Iran - Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. The war in Iraq is...

American politicians are terrorists

This has been a scary election. Hillary threatened to assassinate Obama a few months ago. More recently John McCain's advisor, Charlie Black, said that a terrorist attack on America would be "a big advantage" to the McCain campaign. Hillary's comment shows that she has the power and lack of conscience to use any means to win. Black's comment shows that he thinks of the American people as stupid sheep, whom he can herd his way if he scares the hell out of them. To think that both campaigns have attacked Obama as an elitist.

Kneaders mmm yummy

We ate at Kneaders last night. They make soups, salads, sandwiches, and yummy desserts. I want to write a stunning review, but am kind of tired, and am arguing with my boss that Obama is the man. Go to Kneaders, eat yum yum.

The following is not appropriate:

I wrote a paper this semester about abortion. I think it is sad. I also think that Republicans use it to manipulate voters, and that doing so is unconstitutional. I wrote a paper on it. If anyone wants to read it, give me your email, and I'll send it your way. This poem came to me while I wrote that paper. Take caution: my wife found it disturbing. Aborted Baby Jesus she wandered away no room in the inn no room with her family no room here for Him joseph had left her could not take the stress took a job with his father and as father, knows best she wandered and ran away from her self and begged a physician to offer her help then over a toilet a slight tear, legs faltered before she could cry out came blood and water legs uncrossed she wept to the night he died for her sins he died for our sins he died for our sins

Ethanol is Garbage, Garbage is Ethanol

The following is only pertinent to millionaire entrepreneurs: Italy just paid Germany to dispose of a few stinking tons of garbage. Let me say that again in different words: Italy paid Germany money, and then gave them a product. It's like Costco paying you to take their groceries. Garbage is usually worthless, but ethanol can be extracted from the organic waste. People will pay you to take their ethanol resources. There must be some incentive that could even prompt them to separate their organic garbage from their inorganic, which would cut costs on ethanol extraction; perhaps a lower fee for garbage collection. High gas costs and an emerging ethanol market make this proposal timely. Free garbage. Sweet. p.s. My sixteen year old brother-in-law has informed me that garbage dumps, once filled to capacity, can be paved over, covered by grass, and turned into a park or golf course. Then a tap can be inserted into the cement-sealed garbage pile, and natural gas can be siphoned f...

If you're a Mormon, why aren't you a Democrat?

Democrats want to give your tax dollars to lazy poor people. So does God. But, you say, those lazy poor people get what they deserve, just look at them. But you deserve damnation, and yet God will pull you out of the arms of the devil, He will call you out of the grave, and He will give you all that He has. But you do not deserve it. Your works, without the Atonement of Christ, are worthy of death and hell, and nothing more. You are no better than –nay, you are that same lazy beggar whom you despise. But, you say, we need to use our tax dollars on National Defense. Terrorists want to destroy America and kill us all. Yes they do. But we should not fear them. God will protect us if we place our faith in Him . If we do not, he will leave us to our own devices. He will let us try to protect ourselves with our missiles, tanks, and ruthless interrogations, and if we choose to live by the sword we will likely get to meet Him sooner, and have to explain to Him why we acted so fait...

Deconstruction Inc.

Demolition companies should charge admission to the demolition site. Visitors would be given sledgehammers, hardhats, and permission to destroy.

Braveheart was a terrorist

To the English, William Wallace was foreign, radical, and dangerous. But he had a cause worth dying for. Do any of us have such a cause? The terrorists have noble ideals, though they may be misguided. Being willing to die for a cause is one thing, being willing to give your life for it, toilsome seconds adding up to fruitful years for a better world, is another.

Eating Pork

My sister owned a pet pig. She said it was way smart, smarter than any dog she had ever owned. It made me think that perhaps the commandment against eating pork was given for the pig's sake. Kindhearted men have affection for animals, how much more so does God.
