The Middle Path but when does it stop?

I am all in favor of legalizing some of the immigrants that are already here and support the moderate legislation in the Senate. The problem with it is this: when does it stop? The fact that we are giving the ability to get asylum will attract a TON of new refugees and workers. Even at the highest... Sign in to see full entry.

Undertaxed and in the red

Our country has the most skewed tax policy on the Earth! Most wealthy people in America, especially the Bush’s and their pals, have seen their tax burden go down many times over in the last 6 years. Ironically, the amount of tax rules has gone up 40% in those same years too. It’s Congress and the... Sign in to see full entry.

The traditional female roles lead to a tough dating scene

Its sad when you meet so many attractive women but they all can’t speak English. The chicks in this area that are dark skinned like me are the ones that have learned the art of cooking, cleaning, and making babies. This is a sad glimpse into what the world is like outside of the USA. There are lots... Sign in to see full entry.

Is religion the opium of the masses?

I had a long conversation the other day with someone who claimed that 'God is dead' and the famous Karl Marx quote which is the title of this blog. That got me thinking about the nature of nature. We live in a world where we as creatures are evolving every minute towards another creature. What... Sign in to see full entry.

Muslims and Jews originate from the same source

If I remember my history correctly, or at least from what I understood from watching the history channel, both the Jewish culture and Islamic culture came from the sons of Abraham. Thats my namesake that started this whole race thing. Apparently they are more alike than they care to admit. I am... Sign in to see full entry.

Muslims should chill out

The worldwide protests against the Danish cartoon have inflamed the Muslim World like nothing else. There’s protests and flag burning and embassy rioting all over the Muslim world. There are some calls for calm and quiet from the Mullahs but for the most part, at least in my opinion, they are... Sign in to see full entry.

people are people

I've interacted with a lot of people from a lot of backgrounds in my short life. I'm realizing now what most people take for granted: people are the same all over the world. We are motivated by the same needs and desires. We have the same fears and prohibitions. Yet we persevere because the little... Sign in to see full entry.

Are 'damaged' people worth marrying?

I heard a comment the other day that if someone is not married and he or she is past 35, then they are either gay or 'damaged' goods. That really made me ponder my life and the situation that I'm in where I'm approaching 40 and still never been married. Now I'm not like that character in the movie,... Sign in to see full entry.

Good lookin chicks as the "gatekeeper"

I kind of understand now why beautifull women are always at the reception desks. They have a way of attracting attention and keeping it. I was working at this car dealarship today and the receptionist was a pretty young blonde lady. She had that model look about her and I wished that she could be a... Sign in to see full entry.

Sen. Hillary Clinton did a ferocious attack on the Bush Administration yesterday. Calling them the "worst administration in history" an bringing up images of a plantation on MLK's birthday. Hillary is on the rampage and she can be a MEAN bitch! I like it sister! She's got my vote in the next... Sign in to see full entry.
