My Twitter Handle

Some antisocial #bumpheads (Hill heads, Hillary supporters) have twisted my handle, @ezitwit, and attacked me with it before blocking me because I dared to suggest that they were bullies. Well, they proved my point.

My handle comes from the phone model I opened the account with, a Nokia E71 - EZI, and an abbreviation of Twitter, twit.

So, I have changed my name to EZuTwit and publicly direct the insult back at bully bumpheads. If this is not you, please forgive the distraction.

If it is, fuck you. You are no better than trumpheads.

The Clintonista Phenomenon

I am sick and tired of the feminist Clintonista Nazis who whip out their vagina card and cry misogyny when someone gets tired of seeing their bullying posts. I've held my tongue pretty well up until the past week.

Several days ago I had a little run in with some Clinton Nazis. And though I shut them down, I didn't say all that was on my mind. And I probably won't here.

Tonight, a piece of their victimization bullshit scrolled across my feed and I merely commented that my experience was the opposite. I was promptly derided about my name, accused of being a "Bernie troll", and blocked.

Being blocked is fine with me. I don't care to read that "my vagina makes me a victim" bullshit anyway. But I am no troll and merely find Bernie the least offensive candidate. But I don't go out of my way to "support" him in any way.

And my name? Well, that's a long story. But it's an allusion to the entire population of Twitter... being TWITs. So, I've made it clearer for the dimmer of yo: EZuTwit.

Call me names, block me, insult me, do whatever you will, but I will NEVER EVER vote for Clinton. There was I time I might have but that time is past. 

And, as for your blocking me because I refuse to salute your vagina, I formerly seldom blocked ANYONE - even #rwnj's. But as a result of YOUR bad behavior I am proactively blocking anyone who is a Hillary Whore.

You cunts need to understand one thing: having a cunt in the White House won't make you any more powerful or important than having Obama in there did for all the people of color that the cops shot dead.

AND she's a fucking criminal!

I dislike conservatives as much as the next person. But you bunch of cunts are acting just fucking like them. And at this point, due entirely to you vaginista, reactionary actions, I hate Hillary and her trolls with the same vehemence as I hate Trump and his trolls.

So, good luck with your campaign and public outreach. I am now squarely against you. And I will vote now for ANY CANDIDATE IN ANY ELECTION THAT IS RUNNING AGAINST THAT HAG, CLINTON (who isn't a conservative).

Way to go.

A Leftist's Take On (HRC) Clinton

Having spent my tweens and teens growing up in Arkansas, I have know Bill and Hillary Clinton longer and better than most. I have even spoken with Bill on my home phone when he called to speak with my dad and I answered the phone (I know that's not much but it's more than most). So, I've had a pretty intimate view into the workings of this particular dynasty.

And, as a side note, the first and only Republican I've ever voted for for any office was Ronald Regan (sorry about that).

But I honestly can't say that I'd vote for HRC. I just know her too well. She's a liar, a crook, and a murderer. I certainly won't vote for Trump, either. I would rather vote for Bernie or Kasich.

That's right. I'd vote for certain Republicans over HRC. But if my November choice is between HRC and Trump, I'll most likely vote 3rd party or write in Jim Ellis, a navy vet running a write in candidacy.

The establishment is truly offering the people no choice. Bad and worse... or worse and worse.

I'll be glad when I die. This world has gone nuts.

Hypocritic Oafs

The Trump campaign saying they don't encourage violence at their rallies is like Bill Clinton saying #IDidNotHaveSexWithThatWoman!

It is, in fact, a lie. Trump himself has told them to and said he'd cover legal fees! 

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT DONALD TRUMP’S 14 POINT PLAN

If Adolf Hitler had promised to murder the innocent family members of the opposition, intentionally kill civilians to seize control of natural resources, stifle the free press, register religious minorities, seal the border, torture people, and “much worse” he never would have rose to power. In the United States, a candidate is rising to power while making these exact promises. Like Hitler, he has wrapped these promises in a blanket of bigotry and xenophobia. Trump’s blanket of xenophobia is so thick the Ku Klux Klan has comfortably cuddled up beside him. Commentators love to compare their opposition to Hitler, the difference is that in this case the shoe or armband fits. Two of the most prominent fascists were Hitler and Mussolini. Trump retweeted a quote from Mussolini, and is reported to have kept a copy of My New Orderby his bed. That book was written by Adolf Hitler.

Americans, much like Germans of the time, are so desperate for change they will gladly blind themselves to the threat posed by a man who has displayed nothing but hatred for them and an authoritarian posture that runs counter to everything that actually “made America great”. Trump’s motive for seeking the office may be the most telling. Americans are used to self-serving politicians. They rightly assume politicians are self-serving. Most, if not all, are. Trump’s motivations are different than most, though. He’s already rich and powerful. He’s not seeking the office for the typical materialistic reasons. He’s certainly not an ideologue. He changes his stated opinions and beliefs more often than… well … anything. He is running to satisfy his own ego and nothing more. He does not care about you, he does not care about the little person, and he certainly does not care about this country. This is a man who attempted to use the power of government to force an elderly woman to give up her property while only receiving a quarter of what it was worth. Why did he do this? To build a parking lot for limousines. You, your family, and the “America” he wants to make great again are nothing but a commodity for him to exploit. He will drive you into the ground and sell you out as fast as his string of failed businesses.

Trump is only out to satisfy his own ego and he has an arrogance that can only be found in worst of history’s national villains. He blasts Apple and Ford for their overseas operations, but does the same thing himself because clearly the law shouldn’t apply to him. He’s not a friend to the common man. He’s your overseer.  Think about what Trump has promised the American people. Some of these things sound great in soundbyte format, but they are morally reprehensible and will take our nation down a road a developed nation hasn’t headed down in almost 100 years.

 

Really take a look at the list. A silent media, death to anyone who resists his goons, registries, war for natural resources, the deliberate targeting of innocents, and a sealed border. He is effectively promising to institute a fascist government. Fascism is a term that is thrown around as an insult. Dr. Lawrence Britt published an article identifying the 14 common characteristics of fascist governments. The article was published a decade ago, far from today’s election climate. It wasn’t written as a critique of Trump. Comparing that list with Trump’s campaign promises makes one wonder how long it will be before the Gestapo is at the door.

1. Powerful and continuing expressions of nationalism 

From the prominent displays of flags and bunting to the ubiquitous lapel pins, the fervor to show patriotic nationalism, both on the part of the regime itself and of citizens caught up in its frenzy, was always obvious. Catchy slogans, pride in the military, and demands for unity were common themes in expressing this nationalism. It was usually coupled with a suspicion of things foreign that often bordered on xenophobia.

From Trump’s slogan of “Make American great again” to publicity stunts using veterans as props, this is his entire campaign’s symbolism. Trump’s biggest PR stunt was raising six million dollars for veterans’ groups. Of course, they haven’t gotten the promised money. His xenophobia is apparent, and is covered in another heading below.

2. Disdain for the importance of human rights 

The regimes themselves viewed human rights as of little value and a hindrance to realizing the objectives of the ruling elite. Through clever use of propaganda, the population was brought to accept these human rights abuses by marginalizing, even demonizing, those being targeted. When abuse was egregious, the tactic was to use secrecy, denial, and disinformation.

He’s promised to engage in war crimes such as waterboarding and the murder of innocent family members of people he defines as terrorists. First, define terrorist. Second, the deliberate targeting of innocent civilian noncombatants is a war crime. Any military officer who implements this order can and should be put to death. Remember the entire world, including the United States, is part of the battlefield and the term “terrorist” is defined so loosely that you are probably considered one. You’re signing your family’s death warrant. This won’t stop with Muslims anymore than it stopped with the Jews in Germany.

3. Identification of enemies/scapegoats as a unifying cause 

The most significant common thread among these regimes was the use of scapegoating as a means to divert the people’s attention from other problems, to shift blame for failures, and to channel frustration in controlled directions. The methods of choice—relentless propaganda and disinformation—were usually effective. Often the regimes would incite “spontaneous” acts against the target scapegoats, usually communists, socialists, liberals, Jews, ethnic and racial minorities, traditional national enemies, members of other religions, secularists, homosexuals, and “terrorists.” Active opponents of these regimes were inevitably labeled as terrorists and dealt with accordingly.

Almost every ill in America, according to the Trump campaign, is the result of some minority group. He’s been effectively endorsed by the KKK and has retweeted Neo-Nazi propaganda while blaming blacks and Mexicans for violent crime. He even tried to blame the Ferguson and Baltimore riots on illegal aliens. Take a hard lookat the “spontaneous” incidents that have occurred at Trump’s rallies. Trump’s Brown Shirts are already here.

4. The supremacy of the military/avid militarism 

Ruling elites always identified closely with the military and the industrial infrastructure that supported it. A disproportionate share of national resources was allocated to the military, even when domestic needs were acute. The military was seen as an expression of nationalism, and was used whenever possible to assert national goals, intimidate other nations, and increase the power and prestige of the ruling elite.

From his promise to unconstitutionally legislate a state level law through an executive order to mandate the death penalty for those who kill cops, to his constant promises to bomb civilian targets, militarism has a home in the Trump campaign. He has stated he wants to bomb the oil fields under Islamic State control. The oil workers who you have more in common with than you do with a trust fund baby billionaire are just collateral damage. Who cares about blue collar workers? Their families will. Just like the rest of the US “Bomb them into submission” strategy, this will only increase support for the Islamic State. Let’s also not forget that these natural resources don’t belong to the Islamic State. They belong to the people subjugated by them. So the ISIS victims everybody pretends to care about simply get to trade one occupying force for another. The theft of natural resources is a cause of terrorism. While bombing the bad guys into submission sounds great, counter-terrorism and foreign relations are complicated subjects that cannot be distilled into a 3 second soundbyte.

5. Rampant sexism 

Beyond the simple fact that the political elite and the national culture were male-dominated, these regimes inevitably viewed women as second-class citizens. They were adamantly anti-abortion and also homophobic. These attitudes were usually codified in Draconian laws that enjoyed strong support by the orthodox religion of the country, thus lending the regime cover for its abuses.

From mocking the appearance of female opponents to inferring a moderator was having her time of the month,  Trump is sexism embodied. There are dozens of articles cataloging the never-ending stream of sexist remarks coming from this gentleman. Although he likes to use veterans as props for his campaign, he apparently only cares about the male veterans. Trump tweeted, “26,000 unreported sexual assults in the military-only 238 convictions. What did these geniuses expect when they put men & women together?” Perhaps that women shouldn’t be raped? Maybe they thought that.

6. A controlled mass media 

Under some of the regimes, the mass media were under strict direct control and could be relied upon never to stray from the party line. Other regimes exercised more subtle power to ensure media orthodoxy. Methods included the control of licensing and access to resources, economic pressure, appeals to patriotism, and implied threats. The leaders of the mass media were often politically compatible with the power elite. The result was usually success in keeping the general public unaware of the regimes’ excesses.

The candidate wants to loosen libel laws so he can sue media outlets that criticize him. He has constantly attacked the media. Any candidate whose ego is so fragile he can’t withstand the criticism of the media will not be able to handle international relations. If he’s going to cry like a petulant child because somebody made fun of him, how can possibly handle the stresses of war time leadership?

7. Obsession with national security 

Inevitably, a national security apparatus was under direct control of the ruling elite. It was usually an instrument of oppression, operating in secret and beyond any constraints. Its actions were justified under the rubric of protecting “national security,” and questioning its activities was portrayed as unpatriotic or even treasonous.

From suggesting registration of Muslims to wanting the execution of whistleblower Edward Snowden, Trump is flying the fascist banner. While most of the informed world realizes the Patriot Act and the NSA surveillance programs are threats to global freedom and privacy, Trump wants to maintain them. Why? Because he does not care about freedom or making America great again. He cares about maintaining control and taking power for himself.

8. Religion and ruling elite tied together 

Unlike communist regimes, the fascist and protofascist regimes were never proclaimed as godless by their opponents. In fact, most of the regimes attached themselves to the predominant religion of the country and chose to portray themselves as militant defenders of that religion. The fact that the ruling elite’s behavior was incompatible with the precepts of the religion was generally swept under the rug. Propaganda kept up the illusion that the ruling elites were defenders of the faith and opponents of the “godless.” A perception was manufactured that opposing the power elite was tantamount to an attack on religion.

While Trump doesn’t like asking for forgiveness, he plays on the masses’ beliefs and ties himself to the Christian ideology at every opportunity. He said, “I will be the greatest representative of the Christians they’ve had in a long time.” His favorite method of rallying Americans is to attack Muslims. He gains cheers when he suggests registering them like dogs. Don’t worry though, it will stop with the Jews, I mean Muslims. Somebody will speak out when his regime decides it’s your turn, if there’s anyone left.

9. Power of corporations protected 

Although the personal life of ordinary citizens was under strict control, the ability of large corporations to operate in relative freedom was not compromised. The ruling elite saw the corporate structure as a way to not only ensure military production (in developed states), but also as an additional means of social control. Members of the economic elite were often pampered by the political elite to ensure a continued mutuality of interests, especially in the repression of “have-not” citizens.

Trump is unique in this sense because he is the personification of the corporate structure that normally needs the protection of the fascist government. People see corporate influence as one of the major problems with the United States. It is. Trump has admitted to buying politicians. He’s simply cutting out the middle man. He’ll be able to directly use your tax dollars to exert power over you instead of paying off politicians to use your tax dollars to exert power over you.

10. Power of labor suppressed or eliminated 

Since organized labor was seen as the one power center that could challenge the political hegemony of the ruling elite and its corporate allies, it was inevitably crushed or made powerless. The poor formed an underclass, viewed with suspicion or outright contempt. Under some regimes, being poor was considered akin to a vice.

Trump might say he has support from within unions, but his own unionized employees tell a very different story. Trump has said “Teenage mothers get public assistance unless they jump through some pretty small hoops. Making them live in group homes makes sense.” He’s also implied poor people shouldn’t golf and should stay on the basketball courts. In all fairness, he has been endorsed by at least one union: the cops.

11. Disdain and suppression of intellectuals and the arts 

Intellectuals and the inherent freedom of ideas and expression associated with them were anathema to these regimes. Intellectual and academic freedom were considered subversive to national security and the patriotic ideal. Universities were tightly controlled; politically unreliable faculty harassed or eliminated. Unorthodox ideas or expressions of dissent were strongly attacked, silenced, or crushed. To these regimes, art and literature should serve the national interest or they had no right to exist.

This is one of  the few points that requires Trump to actually take the office of High Chancellor to demonstrate his intentions, but he has stated he wants to slash education funding. Conservative intellectuals have repeatedly blasted Trump. Trump is a product of elite private schools who is pandering to the “poorly educated” voter he said he loves.

12. Obsession with crime and punishment 

Most of these regimes maintained Draconian systems of criminal justice with huge prison populations. The police were often glorified and had almost unchecked power, leading to rampant abuse. “Normal” and political crime were often merged into trumped-up criminal charges and sometimes used against political opponents of the regime. Fear, and hatred, of criminals or “traitors” was often promoted among the population as an excuse for more police power.

Trump wants a mandatory death sentence for cop killers, and promised to use an illegal executive order to obtain it. Lethal injection is “too comfortable” and he wants to increase the “strength and power” of law enforcement.  He wants to continue the failed war on drugs that has created the mass incarceration epidemic, even though in 1990 he said legalization was the only option.

13. Rampant cronyism and corruption

Those in business circles and close to the power elite often used their position to enrich themselves. This corruption worked both ways; the power elite would receive financial gifts and property from the economic elite, who in turn would gain the benefit of government favoritism. Members of the power elite were in a position to obtain vast wealth from other sources as well: for example, by stealing national resources. With the national security apparatus under control and the media muzzled, this corruption was largely unconstrained and not well understood by the general population.

Trump is attempting to make the transition from economic elite to power elite. He has admitted to exchanging cash for political favors. While the cronyism and corruption is a preexisting condition, Trump certainly has no intention of ending it.

14. Fraudulent elections

Elections in the form of plebiscites or public opinion polls were usually bogus. When actual elections with candidates were held, they would usually be perverted by the power elite to get the desired result. Common methods included maintaining control of the election machinery, intimidating and disenfranchising opposition voters, destroying or disallowing legal votes, and, as a last resort, turning to a judiciary beholden to the power elite.

We’ll have to wait to see if he rigs the elections once he has the power, but with evidence of 13 out of 14 points is it really worth the risk?

The American people have to understand that fascism isn’t extinct. It occurs whenever the people of a nation become so disillusioned they are willing to follow a leader who promises water into the desert. Once they are too far to turn back, they are forced to drink sand at the point of a gun. While almost every candidate running for President is utterly worthless, Trump is the right combination of spoiled elitism, egomanical desire, and latent violence to bring about fascism. For the Republicans so enamored with him, I beg you to imagine your response if Hilary Clinton proposed these same platforms. Visions of FEMA camps would dance in your head. Donald Trump is the single greatest threat to American freedom in existence today. He is not anti-establishment. He is a child of the establishment who was taught the law didn’t apply to him, avoided the draft, and attempted to steal property from a little old lady. I can promise that under Trump you will see your personal liberty recede, the police state advance, and you will find yourself swearing allegiance to a flag that represents nothing even remotely similar to what you believe. Tyranny will choke a smile to every face and you will have lost everything you hope to hand to your children.

Dying from Agent Orange Exposure, the VA Denied this Vietnam Vet His Last Wish — A Wheelchair

By Matt Agorist on February 24, 2016

Las Vegas, NV — The Department of Veterans Affairs still has a massive backlog of nearly 900,000 healthcare applications ‒ including more than 300,000 from veterans who died waiting for their benefits to be approved.

The VA’s internal watchdog, the Office of the Inspector General, released a report last year that looked into a whistleblower’s claims of extensive, persistent problems in the Veterans Health Administration’s (VHA) Health Eligibility Center enrollment records.

The OIG found that the VHA’s enrollment system had about 867,000 pending records as of September 30, 2014. On top of that, at least 307,000 applications ‒ or about 35 percent of all pending records ‒ were associated with individuals who had died waiting for care.

The Department of Housing and Urban Development estimates that nearly 50,000 veterans are homeless on any given night. Another 140,000 are currently in jail, many of them for victimless crimes like drug possession.

As if the numbers aren’t bad enough, veterans are often the target of unjust attention from law enforcement. On multiple occasions, the Department of Homeland Security has referred to veterans as potential terrorists and noted that they pose a threat to national security.

The Free Thought Project has reported on case after case of veterans returning home only to be beaten and locked up for speaking out, or killed by police during a PTSD triggered episode.

It is no secret — the US government couldn’t care less about those who put their lives on the line to fight wars for them.

In the latest example of their cruel treatment of US veterans, Vietnam vet David McKinney-Smith was denied his last wish from the VA — a wheelchair.

McKinney-Smith’s body is is riddled with cancer, and his dying wish of mobility was torn from him by a bureaucratic agency rife with complacency and corruption.

McKinney-Smith says he knows exactly what caused his cancer too.

“We were over in the Gulf of Tonkin and this huge tanker was flying from the coast of Vietnam over the water spraying orange substance. It turned out it was Agent Orange,” McKinney-Smith recalled to Action 13 News.

Sadly, McKinney-Smith still supports the country that is treating him like a piece of trash. “I think we have the greatest country in the world. And I would do it again. I would do it again,” he said.

According to Action 13 News,

    That makes it all the more difficult to understand why the VA would deny him his freedom in the form of an electric wheelchair.

    “If I can’t move around, I know that I will die earlier than the five months,” David said through tears.

    The VA approved him for home hospice, but told the dying vet he’d have to cancel that care to get an electric wheelchair.

    He did that, but then the VA denied his request, leaving him with no hospice, no wheelchair and no faith.

After covering his story, Darcy Spears, with KTNV called the VA to investigate the matter, and two days later, only after being ousted as horrible people, the VA got McKinney-Smith his wheelchair.

The VA is predictably calling this an accident and said it was due to a misinterpretation of policy.

“Our entire team out at the VA was kind of taken back by this case,” said VA Public Affairs Chief Chuck Ramey. “We’re going to go back and look at this and see what we can do to make sure that if this comes up and happens again that we’re taking care of our people and our patients accordingly.”


In the meantime, despite being treated like garbage by the very people he fought for, this veteran remains sanguine. “This is like heaven now,” he said. ” I can go out, go up the street, come back and get my sunshine. This feels so good.  Wow.”

I get annoyed by "tech people". You know the ones - 17 to 28 years old, think that everyone is an idiot compared to their own staggering IQ. When I notify them of a bug in their software they are kind enough to send me a link to their rudimentary help pages created for folks who don't understand it's a bug. I was writing code before most of their parents were out of puberty! And they offer me that crap. I don't even BOTHER to notify an organization of a bug unless it is indeed a BUG, or in some cases a useless feature that is bound to break the whole! FML. They are insufferable.

Government Admits Vaccines Can Be Harmful To Children!!!

So can polio, diphtheria, small pox, and a host of other preventable crippling and deadly diseases.

And, as for the Bush Administration (as the stated source of this revelation), they silenced government funded studies that proved that abstinence only treatment and prevention in health care and substance abuse was an abject failure and that education and harm reduction beat that approach exponentially and hands down in health outcomes. They did this censorship because the truth was contrary to their faith/belief. I know this because I was there. I was part of the team that did the studies. It was done in conjunction with several universities across the country with tens of hundreds of participants. So, it was a valid study. All abstinence only research sites closed before the end of the study due to relapse and dropping out of patient/participants.

So, yeah. Take this youtube sensation with a grain of salt.

https://youtu.be/l-4skYMhNsg

 

"Abstinence Only" was an abject failure

I worked in prevention and recovery under the Clinton Administration.

When Bush and Ashcroft took over Washington, one of the first things they did was to defund any and all "harm reduction" approaches because, in spite of government studies which showed an exponential difference in success rates between them, they simply didn't fit into their narrow world views.

That is the moment that I realized that the TRUE AND PRESENT DANGER to Americans was the enemy within.

I applaud President Obama's initiative to defund abstinence only and to shift that funding toward education. Too bad it took over 15 years of dismal failure for them to realize that the truth was staring them in the face in the guise of an extensive cost study program that I was a part of, and that they buried as an inconvenient truth.

And though I am glad to see the slumbering morons awake, I have little doubt that there will be an onslaught of criticism of this move and likely unrelenting efforts to reverse it by any means necessary.

The TRUTH is CONSERVATIVISM is the real ever present threat to human life within the boarders of the United States of America.

New Rule

... accurately. 

Personal Attacks

Know this:
I am not on social media to become a target for ridicule from stay-at-home do nothings who have little else to do than belittle others so they may feel marginally better about themselves.

I have served my country as a Marine, my state, and my community in health care over a span of 25 years. I have also built many public works projects and played in bands from the East Coast to the Far East.

I have also done hard time for protecting my family from an out of control crack head. And I am well liked by local authorities.

I have no time nor inclination to tolerate personal attacks from ass wipes in pajammas. I've been coding since before most of you were even born.

So, think long and hard before you attack me. I'll debate, but I won't tolerate abuse. And I can reach out if I so desire. Count yourself lucky if I choose to ignore you.

Another Loser, SBL

The #NationalChickenCouncil reports that enough chicken wings have been bought for #SBL to feed every man, woman, and child in the United States - yet thousands will go to sleep #hungry. Well played, #ChristianNation. #gluttony 

#SuperBowl L-for loser

Riot police cleared the arena center area of homeless people, forcing them to find another bench, box, or corner to sleep in so folks who spent $5000 a seat on tickets to see over grown, over paid men roll in the grass, slapping each other on the ass, over a little misshapen ball so as not have to consider the inherent injustice in it all and possibly consider their own gluttony and indifference toward their fellow man. Well played, #ChristianNation.

Maybe Trump IS a Financial Genius

Israel wants worldwide censorship of their critics

And they wonder why folks are critical of them... there's a name for this; it's called fascism. They've turned into the thing they profess to hate so much.

http://newobserveronline.com/israel-demands-world-internet-censorship/

You're Welcome

Resign? Really?

#RickSnyder shouldn't be asked to resign! He should be removed from office and prosecuted for #child #endangerment!

Double Standards

Mainstream Media still says affluennza teen "Allegedly" killed people while DWI and violated probation. San Bernadino killers were terrorists before they were charged and killed. My point here is that this punk was found guilty of manslaughter and he was violated by his PO for violating the terms of his probation.

There is no "allegedy" here. He did it. Period. And he should be charged as an adult, as he should have been in the first place, and prosecuted and sentenced to the fullest extent of the law! He was given an undeserved chance and gave it the finger.

Paper.li curation

It positively boggles my mind when some fascist pig attacks me on Twitter when one of my papers at paper.li picks up a story they tweeted and posts it with their twitter name. They aren't even bright enough to understand how the paper curation system works. They are simply blinded by hate and rage that something they publicly posted would be picked up by a decidedly left leaning paper.

But that's how a reactionaries mind works... or doesn't, as the case may be. Simply attack!

Libertard. Faggot. Scumbag. And many more, often misspelled since the blinding heat of their fury has fried every single working brain cell that they ever had.

The answer, however, is pretty simple. If you simply go on the offensive with name calling and misspelled words, I'll likely tell you to go fuck yourself and add a filter on my paper to pick up everything you post!

On the other hand, if you approach me like a civilized human being I will work with you to make sure it never happens again. Or, if you wish to not be listed on paper.li, you may seek global "no mentions" listing by @paper_li by tweeting to them and @new scrier. It does no good whatsoever to attack me. Mainly because I could give a shit less about your neanderthal mentality.

If you attack me, don't expect any sympathy. I think that is a pretty normal response to such nonsense.

Four kinds of government

The German philosopher Immanuel Kant named four kinds of government:

• Law and freedom without force (anarchy).
• Law and force without freedom (despotism).
• Force without freedom and law (barbarism).
• Force with freedom and law (republic).

Which sounds the best to you?

The Internet

There seem to be a lot of very nasty and ugly people in the world, and the ones who aren't running for president or serving in congress are on the Internet. And it used to be such a safe and peaceful place!

#Affluenza Surprise

The Affluenza Kid may very well run the clock out on his extradition/deportation and thereby minimize the range of penalties available under law to slap him with for flaunting and taunting authorities with his white privilege. But if he thinks he'll get away with it, I have three words for him: #TheOJEffect.
