It has been a while since I logged in and gave my thoughts about the condition of the United States. Its time to set the record straight.

Obama is pushing through his health care bill, convinced that he is the only one who knows what is best for the people. Little does he realize is that the American people have seen through his bombastic rhetoric and that this bill is all about the health insurance companies, not the American people. He has resorted to strong arm tactics, threats against those opposed to it and political slight of hand in order to get his way. He has forgotten that he was hired by the American people to do a job and that its a temp job at that. He has forgotten who he works for and how he was elected in the first place. By all accounts, he took less than six months to break most of his campaign promises and has ignored the will of the people. He continues to do so on a daily basis without regard for anyone.

The Catholic Church is in the midst of another sex scandal, this time right in the Vatican itself. Numerous Vatican officials have have been busted by Rome police for soliciting, recruiting and, according to news reports, operating a gay sex ring. Just how will this affect the millions of Catholics worldwide? Hopefully they’ll realize that the Catholic Church is just like any other religion, a for profit organization. In the United States they try to influence elections on both national and local levels, preaching from the pulpit just who the congregation should support. This alone is enough for them to lose their tax exempt status but politicians are afraid of making the first move. The Catholic Church is the largest in the world, only trailing Islam by a few million members, with billions of dollars in real estate. If that property was taxed, just how much money would be put into the economy? Its their way or the freeway; what kind of religion puts that kind of restraints on its members?

Millions of protesters braved adverse weather conditions nationwide to carry signs against abortion, same sex marriages, cruelty to animals, genetically altered crops, nuclear energy, trying to put a sand flea on the endangered species list or the strong arm tactics of the IRS. They protest against Columbus day, immigration, corrupt politicians, corrupt cops, legalizing marijuana, eating meat, crop circles, alien invasions, domestic spying, high credit card interest rates, all powerful banks, high unemployment and whatever else they can think of. What 99.99% of them don’t realize is that protesting never changed anything, nothing. Remember the Vietnam war and all the protests? They didn’t help end the war but did embolden the enemy and create a new breed of draft dodger.

There has been calls for a nationwide work stoppage, just don’t go to work for a day and bring the economy to a screeching halt. Ain’t gonna happen, folks. The ones it would be targeting are immune to such things simple because they’ll still collect their paycheck while you don’t. That should be a no-brainer.

Start a civil war? Well, that’s on its way as we speak, headed by state militia manned with disgruntled people just wanting to make a difference. It won’t be pretty when it happens, pitting ordinary citizens against the state and National Guard units. But will they actively engage citizen armys or hold their fire? That decision is up the individual and probably be surprising to those in command.

I have many other subjects to touch on but I’ll leave them for another day.

Yes, it is Sunday morning, I’ve watched my news channels, read the morning paper and browsed the national newspapers searching for a single piece of good news. It is not to be found. The shootings at Fort Hood has been pushed off the front page by the news of the House of representatives passing Obama’s health care plan by a slim margin (it has yet to hit Congress and a mean battle is expected) after a late night session. I specifically told my representative that it was a bad idea and against it; he didn’t listen to me and voted for it anyway. Now I have to wait and see if my congressman will listen to me but I’m not holding my breath.

The Fort Hood shooting are equally as devastating, thirteen dead and eighteen still in the hospital. The suspect is in stable condition and expected to live to face the death sentence (in the Army, that’s death by hanging). There are several posters already rising to his defense stating that his Muslim faith made him do it (blah, blah, blah. I’ve heard that excuse many times already, usually right after a bomb has gone off, killing dozens of innocents) and he was persecuted or wasn’t in his right mind or was pushed to the brink because he was about to be deployed to Afghanistan to fight his fellow Muslims. There is no suspect to it, he has been positively identified as the lone gunman, so take him out behind the armory, stand him up against the wall and shoot his ass.

An Arizona Muslim father killed his daughter because she had become too westernized and disrespected him by refusing to marry the potential husband he’d picked out. Gimme a break here, this is America, not Iran. Women have a choice here but her father thought otherwise and killed her by running over her with his American jeep, on an American street. This is still America, the land of the free and if he chose to move here, he should have adopted our laws, not his. He’ll probably get a Muslim lawyer and argue a honor killing is perfectly legal for his religion. Sorry, I don’t buy it.

Muslim talking heads are arguing that calm should prevail, that Muslim’s shouldn’t be singled out for harassment because of their religion. I have a news flash for those same talking heads, it’s gonna happen. Only someone who has lived as a hermit for the past ten years can’t see that the Muslims are determined to change this great melting pot of religions into one — Muslim, and bring their backward religious laws with them. There are three Muslim lobby groups who jump at the chance to stand up and cry “religious discrimination” at the slightest excuse. And every time they do grab a headline, their donations skyrocket so they are monetarily motivated to get out there first. They have infiltrated every branch of government, including the White House, and use the slightest excuse to forward their agenda, based on religious freedom. The entire situation is disgusting to me and to most freedom-loving Americans.

I have a plan for them, if you don’t like it here, go back to herding camels in the desert. return to your country of origin and try to change the laws there before trying to change an entire country. If you don’t like your country’s dictatorship, change it but leave ours alone, we like it just the way it is. And I can promise you this, you will never, never change America into another Muslim country.

It’s been a while since I’ve been here to spread my insights of great ponderence, but this made me take pause and write.  So, a potentially racist situation goes down that results in a man’s arrest and Barack Obama immediately comes to the defense of his friend…Yale Professor of African Studies, Henry Louis Gates in the midst of the frey.

It has been an unnecessary crap storm if you will, that Obama has backed himself into regarding this incident having not been availed of the proper facts.  I’ve heard it said that there were mostly egos involved that got out of hand.  It is more a case of ONE ego, that of Professor Gates.  As the police reports have stated, Gates became belligerent the moment the white officer (there was also a black and Hispanic officer on the scene, as well) began asking routine questions that one would ask on a B&E (breaking and entering) call (i.e. Is there anyone else in the house? May we look around?, etc.).  These are all standard procedure for a call of this nature.  However, the YALE professor felt it beneath him to be questioned in any manner regarding suspicion of any kind. The “educated” and I believe correct response would have been…”Thank you for coming to my home when called in regard to something this serious. Certainly, you may check around. I’m happy to do whatever I can to help rectify any misunderstanding by the neighbor as well as the police department. In fact, I probably should thank the neighbor for his conscientiousness, as well.”

Instead, he was most likely irritable when the officers arrived, having been absent minded enough to lock himself out of his home. That disgruntled attitude (coupled with a predisposition toward racism as an African Studies Prof.) then manifest itself in the form of indignant arrogance toward an innocent officer who was simply trying to do his job.  In order for this to be even remotely considered racial profiling, Gates would have to have been randomly stopped.  This was a B&E call, plain and simple.  When the officer asked for Gates’ ID, he went ballistic prior to complying with the officer’s request. Then the officer was satisfied and began to leave with the other officers and Gates continued to berate and malign the officer all the way to the front door with racial epithets. The officer warned him to let it go and asked him to stand down.  Gates refused and the officer took out his cuffs and warned him a last time.  Gates, was relentless and as a result was arrested.  The only reason that the charges were dropped, in my opinion, is because not only was race introduced (by Gates) but also, because he is a high profile individual. It’s bad press for the department any way you look at it and the higher ups don’t need Obama’s camp looking down at their fair city.  They had no choice, even though it would have been a simple misdemeanor.

Adding insult to injury, Obama proceeded to call the officer “stupid” without having read even so much as a newsclipping on the incident.  The educated and proper response here, in my opinion, should have been…”I have not read the police report on the incident so, I won’t speculate and will reserve my comments until such time.”  His arrogance wouldn’t let him do that.  Instead, he chose to get out ahead of the situation and make it about defense of a friend over defense of the facts.

In closing, what this said to me is that both Gates and his buddy Barack arrogantly overstated their cases.  It continues to be revealed that Obama has some pretty outspoken friends (Rev. Wright, communist party devotees, etc.).  Being outspoken is not a bad thing in and of itself, mind you.  However, the destructive words of an outspoken person who is not intent on speaking words that teach, heal or inform for the progression and edification of the whole over self…is quite dangerous.  This further indicates to me that birds of a feather flock together. These “friends” of Obama’s that continue to pop up can only cause one to think…Who is the real man beneath the spit and polished President?  Is there an outspoken radical buried someplace deep down in there who thinks that every irresponsible, harsh and divisive situation can be excused and brushed off by simply sitting down and sharing a beer together?  Great idea, until the beer starts talking…then what?  Seriously, though, Obama and other educated black men such as himself have a huge responsibility to speak intelligently to such issues as racism…not perpetuate its destructiveness themsevles by viewing every given incident from a racially-motivate point of view absent of the facts.      

That’s my take.

Benman out!

That sounds simply enough, doesn’t it? I don’t mean well enough to fool the driving examiner but well enough to keep yourself out of trouble on the road. I’ve been driving since I was fourteen years old and received my first license at sixteen. I’ve held a license is four states and an international license while in the Navy. I’ve also driven in all kinds of weather, some with a pucker factor of nine or better and survived it all. So let it be said I’m an experienced driver; I know how to keep it between the ditches and shiny side up. So when I see drivers today, I have to wonder just how they managed to get a license to get behind the wheel.

I live in a suburb of Denver, Colorado and often have to drive the major freeways to get where I want to go, mainly fishing. I do my damnest to stay off the roads during rush hour, happens twice a day, and definitely off the roads during the holidays when the most important person on the road is going nowhere fast. I’ve also been in my share of accidents, from minor fender benders to one that totaled my truck (the other driver was talking on her phone and rear ended me doing 40 MPH). I’ve seen drivers talking on their phones, sending text messages, eating, drinking, reading, putting on makeup, leaning over the seat to swat a kid, changing the radio station and even changing their clothes, all while driving more than the speed limit. I’ve found it in my best interests to just back off on the gas and let them get ahead of me, far ahead of me.

I have nothing against legal immigrants, those who followed the law in getting here but Colorado has a major problem with the illegal ones. They travel here to work in the fields or in construction and send their money back home. They know they are here unlawfully and so have no reason to obey our laws, they can buy a car and drive. They have no reason to buy car insurance, a state law, or obey the traffic laws. If they cause an accident, they simply walk away and go buy another car (this happens all too often, hence, uninsured driver insurance). I will never understand why the license manual is printed in Spanish when all our traffic signs are printed in English; I believe they should learn our language before getting a license and getting behind the wheel but then our politicians see them as a serious voting block and don’t want to offend them.

Colorado has plenty of winding, challenging mountain roads, more than a few look like a can of worms when viewed from overhead. There is a particular one that goes from Golden to Black Hawk (our version of Las Vegas) and is always crowded, many times with inexperienced drivers. That note is reinforced by the sheer number of accidents that happen on the two-lane, twisting, blind corners road. From Highway 58 and Highway 6 in Golden, it’s only 18 miles to Black Hawk, with a top speed limit of 40 MPH. Not only are there plenty of cars, trucks and SUVs but there are also casino buses, dump trucks and slow movers, making for a challenging, often frustrated drive.  Throw in the constant construction and one can see that speed is not warranted nor wanted.

Not everyone is going up there for the gambling; there is gold panning, kyaking, fishing, sight seeing, the wildlife and rock climbing for those so inclined. All the pull offs are often crowded with cars and trucks constantly pulling on and off the road. The drive calls for constant vigilance and eyes on the road but the drivers insist on scanning the hills, watching Clear Creek rush by and pointing out a Big Horn sheep or deer to their passengers. This is especially true during the winter when an inch of ice can cover the road, making a trip into the creek a distinct possibility. This only reinforces my belief that everyone on the road is an idiot except me. I’ve driven this road many times in all types of weather and I know when to slow down even more, which blind corner to watch for and where the cops park. I also know that just one accident can close the road for hours, in both directions.

I have a few helpful hints for other drivers. 1- don’t rush me, I’m peddling as fast as I can. 2 - if you’re in that much of a rush, pass me and I’ll wave when I later pass you sitting in a ditch or pulled over by a cop. 3 - you are not the only one on the road, it was designed for multiple vehicles so share it. 4 - those caution signs are there for a reason, obey them. It means the curve was meant to be taken at 30 MPH, not 60. 5 - the wildlife was here before the road so give them a brake or have them as a hood ornament. Same with bicycles.

While I’ve mentioned those who prefer two wheels instead of four; you are not the only one on the road. You’re riding a hundred pound bike while I’ve driving a 4,000 pound truck. Who do you think will win if you pull in front of me? Yes, it is now a state law that I give you three feet of space but what if there isn’t that much to give? I will give you as much as I can but I’m not going head to head with that 70,000 pound dump truck just for you. Most importantly, use a little common sense before choosing your route; a two lane, narrow road is not the place to exercise your rights to the road. You are governed by the same traffic laws as I am but use a little common sense in doing so and we’ll both reach our destinations safely.

Teenagers, just because I have gray hair doesn’t mean I’m stupid, it does mean that I’ve been driving longer than you have. I probably tried the same stupid stunts you’re pulling but I learned from my mistakes, as you will if you live long enough. Show a little respect for your elders.

I wish somebody would explain to me why kids aren’t better educated these days. I don’t have any kids so I normally don’t think about their education - But after reading economist Alan Greenspan’s 500 paged book, “The Age Of Turbulence,” the pages which scarred my brain tissue the most were the ones describing the failure of the American education system and the difficulty American graduates have in competing for jobs against better educated immigrants. It’s certainly not the kids’ fault. According to Greenspan, “A study conducted by the Lynch School of Education at Boston College revealed that although our fourth-grade students were above average on an international comparison scale in both math and science, by the time they reached their last year of high school, they had fallen well below the international average. The leading nations included Singapore, Hong Kong, Sweden and The Netherlands. According to Greenspan, immigrants from India and many other countries have superior engineering and computer science back grounds and are in demand by American corporations (while millions of Americans are unemployed).

So what the fuck is happening to American kids between 4th grade and high school graduation? Since we spend many more tax dollars per student than almost any other country without getting good results, maybe we should have a tax protest about that.

The Bush administration’s No Child Left Behind program was supposed to make sure all kids received the education necessary to become productive citizens. In the book, “Many Children Left Behind,” author and educator Deborah Meier writes, “The biggest problem with No Child Left Behind is that it mistakes measuring schools for fixing them. The focus on high stakes testing and test preparation dumbs down classrooms.”

“The foundation of every state is the education of its youth.”  -Diogenes Laertius

If high school graduates (not to mention drop outs) can’t find jobs, many of their alternatives aren’t too good for society. They are much more likely to become drug dealers, burglars, muggers and kidnappers for ransom. Many will just stay home indefinitely and live like expensive house pets unable to fly out of the nest.

America has the most powerful military in the world. We have the best rock stars and we make the best movies. Why can’t we be number one in education?

Americans are like a bunch of battered women. I mean it. I am NOT dissing battered women – I’ve been in some bad relationships and I know that it’s f**ked up. I know that people in those relationships are held hostage as much by their own fears - their need for security - as they are by the person who is abusing them, who is usually taking advantage of those fears and needs.

We, as Americans, are afraid. We are afraid to live without our government, which we love to hate. We’re afraid to imagine what life would be like without all the institutions that do our thinking for us. We love to complain about government, insurance companies, medical industry, religion, special interest groups, schools, cops, this that and the other thing, and yet it’s almost like we’ve brought it on ourselves by being big pussies.

Think about it, back in the olden days - the pioneer days - which was not too long ago at all, people packed a few basic tools into a covered wagon, along with whatever food they could carry, their families, and a couple guns, and headed west into a land they knew nothing about. They didn’t know what they’d get attacked by, they didn’t know too much about the vegetation - what was edible and what was not - they didn’t know if they’d get jumped by a cowboy or Indian, bit by a snake, eaten by a bear…I mean they just jumped in and risked their lives on this dream of starting a new and better life. They had next to nothing, but they took the leap. The same leap taken by the people who came over in boats - ALL of them, from the Mayflower to the “boat people”.

How many Americans today would have that courage? Very few, I’m afraid. We are so afraid to lose what we have, which amounts to a few cushy conveniences. We are dependent on everything from technology to habit, to the government that we love to hate to the police that are there to protect us, to the rules that we’ve put into place, one by one, to try to make our lives more safe and comfortable. We can’t live without buttons and switches, and God forbid that we get our hands dirty on anything. Most of us don’t know our rights. Most of us are all too happy to hand our freedom over to anything or anyone who’ll give us an ounce of security, whether it be a bank loan, an insurance policy, an abusive partner, or a prison cell. We’re like a bunch of fat, lazy, fearful overgrown children who can hardly think for ourselves, beyond the buttons on our remote control. We can’t live without an electrical outlet, grocery store, food stamp coupon, car, tank of gas, credit card whatever. We’re pathetic. I mean it. Most of us don’t even know how to grow seeds in a garden anymore and that’s the easiest damn thing to do. You put a seed in the ground and water it. Voilà: food.

I think every American should study survival. Seriously. I think we should take away all the things we THINK we can’t live without, and see how far we get. Just for the hell of it. Figure out what we hate most - fear the most - and try to live without it. If nothing else, we might learn something.

There are a lot of structures that are falling apart right now, in this society and all over the world. I don’t think it’s a bad thing, even though it kind of sucks. I think it’s an opportunity to see what we’re really made of. We’re a lot stronger and more capable than we think. There are a lot of people struggling. What better opportunity for people to look around them, see who needs help, and help them. That’s what the damn pioneers did – they helped each other. They HAD to, to survive. We could grow stronger together. Imagine what this country would be like if people spent their time doing that, instead of whining about this law or that rule, this or that controlling  entity, or this or that person.

We’d be free. I’m pretty convinced of it. But I could be wrong. It’s just a thought.

Let me state first, I have nothing against our neighbors to the south, I think they are a great country and have been a good friend ever since Sam Houston whipped their pants off for Texas. However, they have also been the biggest exporter of illegal drugs and continue to do so. Let’s face it, there is big money to be made in shipping drugs into the United States and Mexico has refined it into a fine art. Drug money has bought Mexican officials into looking the other way while drug deals have been made, officials on both sides of the border for that matter.

But now Mexico is exporting their drug wars into Texas, Arizona and California to the point where American citizens aren’t safe ven in their own homes. Innocents have been killed by drug cartel gunmen and they sneak back across the border to safety and local law enforcement agencies are outgunned, out numbered and have their hands tied simply because of a line on a map. With American troops returning from Iraq and Afghanistan, its time to put their combat experience to good use and rid ourselves of these cartel gangs. If the cartels don’t respect the border, neither should we.

I have a solution, one politicians on both sides of the border won’t like, that can tell these cartels that we won’t sit on our hands and let them violate our borders any longer. I suggest that we send these combat-hardened troops to the border, they are used to operating in harsh climates, and turn them loose. If the drug cartels want a war, let’s give it to them in the only way they’ll understand. If they slip back across the border, we follow with helicopter gunships and troops with itchy trigger fingers. After losing a few gun battles, they’ll think twice before trying it again.

We are under seige by a foreign army and we must meet that  threat with deadly force, not more talking and diplomatic objections. If the Mexican government won’t do the job, we will.

There are few subjects that incite passion as does discussing the economy. The United States is in a world of hurt and sinking fast and no amount of money can save us. But just maybe… there is a way.

Think back ten years, or fifteen, to when Intel, AMD, Dell, HP, Westinghouse, GE and numerous other large companies announced that they were building plants in other countries and closing the ones in the US. Remember NAFTA was supposed to level the playing field and help Mexico deal with its unemployment. Remember China was given “favored nation” status by Reagan as his next to last act as president. He later pocketed a $2 million speaking fee in that country, for a 45-minute speech.

As a nation, we import more goods than we export (arms and weapons is not included), giving us the largest trade deficit in history, and its still growing. How did we allow this to happen? because the manufacturing lobbiests have a lot of money to throw around and did. They bribed our Congressmen into passing the legislation, selling out America for a few dollars. It was the American people who suffered as jobs were sent overseas, to India, Philippines, Cayman Islands and other countries. Millions of Americans lost their well-paying jobs.

There are several things we can do, if Congress would just get off their collective, lazy butts, to reverse this. Number One would be to tax any American corporation having plants in another country until they scream from the pain in their accounting department. Levy a tarrif on any product imported, any product. Only reduce that tarrif by the amount that that same country imports from the US. Don’t give tax breaks to companies for simply being in the US, tax them the full amount. If they want to lower their expenses, try automation but retrain those put out of work.

Even as we struggle, more than fifty countries still get a handout from our Treasury; its called foreign aid, or economic aid, or by some other name but it all means the same — free money from us. Slam the checkbook closed, put a padlock on it and let those countries fend for themselves, let them develope their own economies and sustain themselves. Israel alone receives $3 billion a year under a number of different programs, all at the first of the budget year, unlike other countries who have it spread out over the year. We wouldn’t need to send half a billion dollars to Mexico to fight their drug war if we simply closed our borders and used the military to patrol the air and sea lanes. We have agencies knowledable in patroling our states, let them do their jobs. Enforce the drug laws we have on the books and put the drug dealers out of business for good.

Make it worthwhile for Americans to buy American, appliances, cars, homes and groceries at reasonable prices, not extortion prices. Control the pay of executives, no man is worth $35 million a year for the title of CEO, control the amounts banks can charge on accounts (hidden fees are a killer) and regulate the business practices of brokerage firms but most of all, rid ourselves of the Federal Reserve. The FR is just bankers controlling the flow of money, and getting rich doing it.

It sounds simple, doesn’t it? All we need is a president and Congress with the backbone and courage to do it. Will it happen? Probably not.

Chicago, IL USA:The Formula has never been simpler. Twenty-Six Hundred Years ago, The Jewish Tribe(s) were hard at work — as Slaves — laboring away in an Early Egypt  - sweating profusely away, making bricks, baking bricks, hauling bricks and pounding the sandy terrain into what would become one of the longest-lasting Structures the Ancient & Modern Worlds have ever seen. Yes, Jews were labeled as ‘Slaves’ long before recording History and the day-by-day Episodes of Life & Living were even popularized.Geographically, Egypt is also located in Africa — in the Northwest Corner for those Individuals who cannot navigate Cartography and are not adept Geographic Buffs and Pros. Therefore, you can easily see and say that because Africa is renown as the Fertile Delta or Cradle of Civilization — and Home of Lucy, the first Ape-like Creature to resemble Man.  Therefore, bearing this in mind, the Jews (then) are also Afro-Americans whose Histories as ‘CareTakers of The Earth’ go back further than the 211 Year History of the United States and its Embattlement with Chattel Slavery and Indentured Servitude.  Since Man (himself) emanated out of Africa and has been migratory since, those Residents of the United States are all ‘technically’  African-Americans.

Jews and Jewish-Wannabes (and you know who you are) can easily identify with Blacks and their long harsh History of Enslavement, then, Freedom and Creativity which unfolds and becomes appreciated for its Depth, Width and, of course, History.

Furthermore, as Culture & Civilization have proven throughout (the Test of) Time: We all get by with a Little Help from our Friends no matter where We call ‘Home’ on The Planet Earth or what our Descent was. If not for Slavery, would anything ever get completed - that’s what is really the Question of The Day, Today.  It doesn’t pay to COMPLAIN about the Amount of Years a Tribe has been enslaved.  The Modern Housewife feels she is, has been and may always remain a Slave to her Family.  The Dilemma merely depends on how well-lived your Life becomes that matters in the long haul.

From the horror stories we hear, or in reality have to face, cancer is a four letter word. It is emotionally damaging to the diagnosed, and to their loved ones.  It is a killer and everything about the disease is only an understatement.  The most terrifying aspect of the epidemic is that it can not be prevented.  Smoking may speed up processes like brain tumors, or melenoma, but if you are prone to not being able to fight off the ailment, odds are you will get it. (With the exception of smokers and throat cancer)

Unless you are fleeing to Canada for free MRI’s and CAT scans, the average American can not afford a full body cavity search.  If you could stop your mother from contracting breast cancer, you would.  If you could forsee your younger brothers lymphoma, you would prohibit it. Likewise with grandpas prostate cancer. (see http://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/alphalist for an A-Z list of cancers)  Life is a crapshoot when it comes to thinking about what way and when are we gonna go out. (Please be like Elvis on the can)

What is more disturbing, is that there is another epidemic that is completely contradictory to the means of contraction regarding cancer, and it’s AIDS.  HIV left behind 15 million orphans last year.  Many of the victims are born into the disease.  AIDS is predominantly spread by unprotected sex, and desperate drug users.  Ok, that is well known information.  They preach safe sex all the time, or if you turn on Disney, the Jonas brothers say abstinence is the way to go.  I can’t wait to see whose gay, or the first to father a child under 20 years old in that band. But I digress.

AIDS is a disease we continue to bring upon ourselves.  Lusting, and shamelessly being foolish with our sexual endeavors.  Whether it is the man whore, the slut, or the unsuspecting one night stand, we are all at risk. Particularly in densely populated cities, where it is impossible to fathom your partners sexual history.  The death casts nothing but a painful, dreadful shadow on those inflicted.  Torturous, and relentless in its conquest of crumbling the bodies immune system until the body caves in on itself.  In Africa that’s considered a Tuesday.

Wake up America, come on, seriously, and insert another whiny sounding colloquialism here. Put on your cock balloons, plug in your diaphragms, or go to rehab if you’ve ever thought about sticking a needle in your arm.  I hope those lovely images make you think twice before trying to bang some one off craigslist.
