Atheists and Atheism- Calm Down and Try to Not Suck So Much

While we are all more than aware that everyone loves a good fight, it’s past the time for me to offer my perspective on the subject of atheism and their being so activist in their quest to disseminate their POV. Now, I don’t want to offend anyone and I certainly have no intention of offering language that incites or enflames, and I definitely do not want to minimize the opinions or beliefs of anyone. So, with that being said, please allow me to offer a hint to my perspective on the attitudes of those atheists who have managed to make themselves known.

Hint- YOU ARE A BUNCH OF FUCKING MORONS.

Now, before you piles of meat get your panties in a twist, hear me out here.

I have absolutely no issue with anyone being nontheistic, atheist, monotheistic, polytheistic, or think that God is a monkey on a spiritual train who farts lollypops from his holy butt. I wholly support one’s spiritual and religious beliefs because we all have them. Further, freedom of religion is a major tenet of the US of A. But for atheists to state they hate religion and believe themselves intellectually superior for recognizing there is no God are as dumb as a rock. They remind me of people who stick their heads into the open mouths of alligators.

Oh, just so you know, I LOVE watching people do this, provided the scene ends with this idiot trying to pry their head from the clenched jaws of said reptile. Damn, but I just adore that.

Look, if you believe that being atheist somehow excuses or excludes you from having a religious conviction based on faith, you need to take a deep breath and think about it again. If you believe there is no God or higher consciousness or Universal Consciousness and simply believe we are meat that evolved from the random order of the universe, that is perfectly acceptable and you are likely right. Or at least as likely to be right as you are wrong. But you don’t truly know, so you base your assertion on the faith that you are correct. Furthermore, you’re position is of a religious nature. So, being atheist is a position of religious faith.

Then, to think your position of religious faith is so much more correct than anyone else’s and that everyone else is just moronically wrong, you are hereby placed into the same category as that of Muslim Extremists who strap bombs to babies and mutilate women for their own personal pleasure. But you are not in a category of those possessing of a three-digit IQ.

Now, to offer full disclosure, I am not atheist. But I am not Christian, Muslim, Sikh, Rastafarian, Scientologist, or Satanic. My beliefs stem from Metaphysical beliefs and tenets.

So, for me, the issues of both religion and science serve to further confirm my faith. I don’t see them as separate and conflicting. To me, one supports the other. But hey, that’s me. I only pass it on so you know. I don’t expect you to buy into my position or belief, and I certainly don’t intend to fucking sue the goddamned planet to ensure only my beliefs are the ones recognized and acknowledged. You assholes.

We need to revisit the simple explanation and definition behind the statement, Freedom of Religion. I know that several groups out there are doing whatever they can to ensure all aspects of anything other than atheism are seen or acknowledged, such as Freedom From Religion Foundation. These guys state they demand to ensure the separation of Church and State is enforced, but I honestly don’t know where it isn’t. In fact, anyone demonstrating any aspect of Christian faith in this country are treated like leprous child molesters who stomp on screaming puppies for the fun of it. Are you crying because there is ‘under God’ in the Pledge of Allegiance or the Ten Commandments at Courthouses? Perhaps you should pray to your non-god to help you in minimizing your being a whiny bitch.

I don’t think we have to attack one another over issues of spiritual and religious belief when we have so much more to worry about. Such as, the fact that human slavery is more widespread and prolific today than it has ever been, ever. I think that’s a nice one to join hands over. How about that our economic systems and methods of finance ensure that the vast majority of humanity remains in severe want? Is that not significant compared to someone who believes in Intelligent Design?

So, like I said, I didn’t want to assert any inflammatory positions or language, so I tried to keep it low and out of this blog as best I could. But we do need to recognize that each of us deserves to believe what we desire when it comes to religious and spiritual issues, because none of us have any clue as to who is right, or if any of us are.

The Egocentric Predicament- A Novel Review. By the Author of that Book. Coming up...

I never really gave it that sort of thought before, but I have recently seen posts by some asking, when is the last time you've read some of your older work? I have to admit that I have not done much of this, instead I tend to look at it as done and gone, with wings and off to far away. But because some other writers have pointed out some good reasons to do this, I think I'll give it a try.

It isn't as though I don't ever do it at all. Many of the articles I have written on Yahoo! and so forth occasionally receive a comment or two, so I'll go back to see what it is they're commenting on. I have seen that I have some articles that have taken off and done quite well in terms of numbers, so I'll look to see if the work was sufficient and done well enough to receive the attention. I have one piece of writing that has done better than anything else I have written, and every time I look at it I feel like I screwed up so bad. My article called, How To Skip the Light Fandango, has enjoyed close to nine thousand visitors as of this writing, but I so wish I had done a better job in its creation. If I had known it would do so well...

But I merely flung it together quickly, thinking it would hardly ever be seen. But this is not the case with my first novel, The Egocentric Predicament. I was as diligent with the creation of that as I have ever been with anything I have done before or since. I poured my heart and soul into it with blood, sweat and tears, hoping and praying it would enjoy some level of success some sunny day.

Okay, that never happened. In fact, none of my novel work has garnered much attention, despite the level of effort put into them. But for now I want to put all that aside and simply reread The Egocentric Predicament again and see what I think about it. It was finished as a novel right around the turn of the year coming into 2008 and then shortly after it was passed on to PublishAmerica for publication. Late in the summer, it was sent to me for approval and I read over it then, allowing what was there to continue. But I have not genuinely read the book since.

So, well over six years have gone by since I've read the book or even had much to do with it beyond pushing and peddling it. Thus, I desire to read it again and decide for myself if it might be worthy anymore and/or to see how I might have improved, or not, over the past few years. At the time of this writing, I am about halfway through the first chapter and I am largely happy with it. I do recall putting so much effort into that first chapter because I wanted it to be the foundation for everything that followed. Yes, I have found a couple minor warts in the editing, as it was edited by me and me alone. But I have to say that I have also found similar warts in work professionally edited, so there.

I have recently finished another novel I wanted to get to for some time, which was Glenn Beck's work, Agenda 21. It was bleak but fairly well done. In that vein, I felt that Absolute Despotism by Holly Brown was better done and reached the intended goal a bit better, but that's just my opinion. Anyhoo, I finished a book and therefore sought another to read. I have recently finished the first three Dexter novels and desire to get to the fourth, but I wanted a break in that action. Further, I desire to someday join planet Earth and read the Harry Potter series. I read the first book years ago but never ventured forward. It wasn't that I didn't enjoy it; I merely had so much other stuff in line.

Anyhoo, there are so many novels I desire to read, but I think now is a good time to reread my first book and pass on an honest assessment of what's there.

When this is done, I will pass on my thoughts and opinions.

For the love of God, somebody has to. It isn't as though anyone else is reading it.

PIlot Flying J Travel Centers- Believe It or Not, Many Professional Drivers Appreciate You, Too

While there is little doubt there are those grumpy and impatient drivers coming and going through the doors of your numerous Pilot Flying J (P&FJ) locations, the truth is that the majority of drivers do harbor a significant level of appreciation for what you offer and provide throughout all these nearly 600 locations across these here wondrous United States and beyond.

While there are plenty of other choices out there for us to take advantage of, and many are nice, it’s difficult for someone to state honestly that those competitors offer better than P&FJ. Coming from someone who knows better due to my considerable amount of patronage over the past ten years, I can state with confidence that P&FJ has the best coffee on the road. Not only that, but you have an inordinate amount of choices compared to some of your competitors, and available through a very convenient method. I don’t mean to whine, but getting one’s coffee through Pyrex pots simmering on some burner for whatever an undetermined amount of time is way too 20^th Century. Thank you for offering methods far superior. Further, I appreciate your ability to offer plenty in the java line, including an array of teas.

The methods of obtaining a shower while on the road is just done best by P&FJ compared to many of the others. The keypad entry into the shower and the ability to obtain one without having to wait for an available cashier (via the rewards card kiosk) and key attached to a drive shaft is highly convenient and very smart. While I can say some of the showers tend to be a bit cramped (I do understand the need for space in order to offer more showers to more drivers), there are plenty offering more than enough room for even the beefiest of fellows.

The high percentage of standardization is another aspect offering a great deal of comfort to many drivers wearied from cranking out 600 miles and needing some decompression. There’s a wonderful chance a driver can step into the Flying Jin St. Augustine, FL on Monday and then step into any Flying J anywhere within a thousand miles and experience a very similar and easy-to-negotiate layout. Not requiring a GPS at each and every different store but having a comfortable similarity across the board helps quite a bit and more than many would first assume.

While the store and lot located in Ft. Myers, FL requires a complete mowing down and new start from the ground up (many drivers fear pulling into this place), most locations are very well designed and quite easy to negotiate for even the inexperienced drivers. The recent opening of the Pilot at the FL/GA border along I-95 is a tremendous addition to the large mix and certainly one of the better stores. The location harbors a lot deserving its own zip code and the store is a vast improvement compared to what was at this location years ago. The renovation of the Flying J in Ruther Glen, VA (placing one of my prior reviews out of date) along with the welcome addition of the Golden Corral (because you can tell by looking at most of us drivers that we just don’t get enough to eat) transformed that location into one many look forward to finding as often as possible.

Much of the updating that has occurred at most fuel pumps has really helped expedite the fueling process, saving time better spent doing other things. While it would be fair to admit this is something done rather well by most travel center chains, it is nice to find a kiosk inside to obtain a fast receipt. To further that point, having the ability to obtain a receipt from a prior fueling occurrence (either through it being lost of forgotten) at any other kiosk elsewhere is tremendously handy for those of us lured by the smell of the pizza, causing us to forget that receipt. Well done, pizza gang, well done, indeed.

Has anyone placed on some drawing board an idea for a truck friendly drive-thru at locations offering well known restaurant chains? Just thinking out loud and being amused by the idea.

Overall, if one compares the broad availability of the myriad of P&FJ choices and the goods and services within them to other travel center and truck stop locations, Pilot Flying J is quite likely the best bet for most professional drivers. As a professional driver myself, I have to rely on locations such as yours to not just make my day easier and comfortable, but to keep it going, often because of fuel but certainly not just that. So, I and many others would like to extend a gesture of appreciation for your showing you take your place in the scheme of things seriously and creating yet another promising facet in the gem that is the American landscape. We’ll be stopping by now and again. 

Christmas Gifts

Here we are again, at the heart of another Christmas and holiday season. While there are those screaming about the loss of the meaning of Christmas, there are plenty of people out there holding onto it for dear life. There are those out there who are finding the pliability in the true meaning and molding it into something they can find real in their situation. Perhaps they’re not genuine fundamentalist Christians, but they still find meaning and comfort in a brotherhood of Man, and find something real in doing for others just for the sake of it.

That’s more than fine, if you ask me.

More and more, I am seeing humanity bend to the will of Nature; allowing the course of instinct to bend us from the course of Sentience and Civilization in the primary desire to cull the herd. What do I mean by that, you might ask? Look, it’s about time we recognize, as a species, that it is in our nature to manage our own numbers through warfare and bloodshed. Do any of you really find genuine importance in this feud between Phil Robertson and A&E, as well as those rattling sabers on either side?

It surprises me endlessly to see my own kind fail to recognize the force of Nature upon us and harbor the naïve belief that we control our own destinies. Sure, there are those who have found this ability, but to believe it is a widespread mindset is a sign people simply aren’t paying attention. I find it subtly amusing to see nobody ever pursuing the genuine cause of war within our own kind, what with their easy blaming falling on oil, sovereignty and the national security. Thoreau once said, “There are a thousand people hacking at the branches of evil for every one hacking at the root.”

I am confident our kind battles on and on because if we didn’t, we would starve out just about everything. If we made love only and never war, the chaos and utter want would demand action. We are at the top of the food chain. Rank has its privileges, but, as they say, with great power comes great responsibility.

We could find a way to resist it and will eventually, but the chaos churning all around us demands the tectonic shift must give in eventually, and the use of tectonics is a fitting metaphor. The pressure mankind has felt in the past demanding of blood was often answered quickly, but we’ve reached a point where our higher minds are resisting. While this is a positive sign, the signs are also there that we likely need at least one more good lesson. The pressure of two tectonic plates grabbing at one another builds over time, so if the pressure is released somewhat quickly and before it becomes momentous, the drama is lessened. But allow the pressure to reach gargantuan proportions and the quakes coming once the edges crumble are truly fantastic.

The pressure we are feeling is about as immense as it has ever been in the history of our kind. Our numbers are way beyond anything ever seen before, and our technological prowess arms us in way hitherto unimaginable. So, once this thing blows, get ready for an apocalypse quite different from the one on 12/21/12. This next one, the real one, won’t be such a laugh.

Because of this, we must find a way to harbor the spirit of the Christmas season and cherish the love we have for peace and tranquility, the little and important things, and for what is wonderful and beautiful. We must find great value in the laughter of children, and we must educate our kind that our most innocent and vulnerable are being hunted in record numbers. We need to find tolerance and a recognition in the value of diversity in this shrinking world, and we need to reassess our priorities. It’s okay for the secular to question the verity of dogma and religion, and it needs to be okay for the faithful to demand some level of accountability from their God. We no longer allow blind faith and the power of our royal and political leadership to go unchecked, so why would it be wrong to humbly ask that God take a more active role in our plain sight and stop being quite so mysterious? Hey, we have grown.

One does not need to believe that Christ walked on water and turned water into wine, and then rose from death after three days. But would it hurt to accept his advice that we love one another and treat our own kind with peace and acceptance. He was fair and right in asking who has the genuine right to cast that first stone. Christmas and all the holidays of the time can bring us together in order to find the higher mind of humanity before we are forced to succumb to the needs and demands of Gaia. Then, after the smoke settles and the blood has seeped away from the tremendous world war soon to come, we’ll have more to aspire to and seek as a greater goal for our kind for the long term future. Perhaps we will no longer roll our eyes to the farming of our own kind in that new world, and we will accept humanity for what it is and can be.

So, give those well-meant gifts and savor their smiles as they enjoy the happiness of the moment. Open those gifts coming your way and show your appreciation. Then, after the turn of the year is a day behind us, give earnest effort to the hope of a renewed future and join hands with those who are like-minded. Maybe, just maybe, when that dime drops and all swords are unsheathed, there will be more of us wanting peace over madness. So, once the madness ends, the peace might reign unimpeded.

But keep in mind that the hardest lessons are the ones best learned, so the more horrible the war is while it rages just might sweep the pendulum towards greater and longer peace when the calls for a truce are heard. Then, the Christmas seasons to follow will surely be magical.

Protecting Children and the Vulnerable Through Concerted Efforts

There is no other way to put this; our society is breaking up to the point that our innocent, our children, our young women and our morals are in constant danger from harm, attack, persecution, and even forced slavery in a time when slavery in human history is at its most prolific and successful. More than 2,000 people in this country are reported missing, each and every single day.

We have to recognize there is no law enforcement anymore; just goons in blue doing the bidding of communist heathens or insulated wealthy who benefit from innocent persecution. The incidences of attacks on the innocent are continual while they continually seek to disarm and yank all individual power from the people. The Progressive rhetoric is that protecting yourself is the act of crazy people, yet the Progressive agenda benefits from Human Trafficking and the persecution of the innocent more than any other group.

We cannot afford to make any assumptions anymore. We cannot assume those around us are decent; we should always assume exactly the opposite. In fact, to assume humanity is anything less than pure evil is beyond irresponsible. Further, to assume humanity is anything less than pure evil ought to be considered an active setup to harm an innocent person. Now, this writer is not stating there are no exceptions, just that there are no ways to securely recognize the exceptions.

Some might say we must change our laws in order to make the punishment fit the crime. So, if a child is raped, the perpetrator and those involved must endure a heinous punishment. If a man beats a woman or child to death, he must be beaten to death. While I understand the passion behind these notions, we must recognize they are not the answer. They are not the answer because giving law enforcement (a continual part of any problem) and lawmakers that sort of power would soon lead to torture for something as simple as a speeding ticket.

Instead, we have to recognize the problem for what it is, which is a human failing. And because (I do hate to admit this) law enforcement, lawmakers and politicians are human (barely), they cannot properly protect anyone while operating in those roles. They would only serve to fuel the problem. So, we must be vigilant and protect our own from humanity through humane and intelligent means.

It does seem daunting to think this is where we are, but it is where we are. To complicate matters, not all humans are evil (but I think you already knew that). But because of the state of the world, it would be egregious to assume anyone is not evil unless proven otherwise, or if you know them that well. Even then, innumerable people have been shocked to horror. How often do we hear of a step-parent or boyfriend beating a child to death, or raping a child? Daily, that’s how often.

It's just that with human trafficking, drug trafficking and all the violence associated with it, weapons trafficking and all its drama (and these are the three largest organized crime industries out there), the saccharin-sweet attitude that humanity offers more good than evil is little more than naive. Sure, there are plenty of wonderful people out there, but this offers the same old story- the world will be destroyed not by those who do evil, but by those who witness the evil and do nothing. And the fact is that too few people desire to act against evil. But they'll donate to causes and carry the occasional picket signs, though.

So, we live in a world where there are innumerable amounts of bloodthirsty predators seeking the blood of your vulnerable and the only one who is going to care or take action is you (and other like-minded people). And if you don't, nobody will and that's exactly what those predators desire.

But you alone is not enough, so there must be a resurgence in protecting our own through concerted efforts operating at local levels. We must join as communities, with knowledge, conviction, and a significant lack of political correctness in order to protect what and who is most precious to us. The law won't allow us to destroy the predators, but there's no law against starving the predators from what they seek. If we stop allowing them to prey on ours, they'll have to either move on or stop, and allowing them to move on is just as wrong.

Those who prey on the innocent must be prevented from gaining the innocent.

How could there be an option to that sentence?

By simplifying the philosophy to simply starving the predators from their intended prey, that predatory aspect will either have to diminish or become so ravenous that it must expose itself in order to quell the hunger. In easier terms, we must determine to protect our innocent (and our kind) from what seeks harm. We have to dismiss all assumptions (of the benefit of the doubt) and protect our children and vulnerable as though we are confident they are being hunted by monsters emerging from every shadow.

Should neighborhoods and communities do this, these numbers of missing and abducted people as well as victims of HT and other crimes will diminish. But we have to make these endeavors if we truly care. If we do not, then we can fairly assume that a predatory consumer of our own kind’s weak and vulnerable is what we are.

Make a choice.

Pay Per Mile Taxes- An Unadulterated and Purely Contrived Lie of Arrogant Proportions, Posed by Corruption's Finest

In short, the entire story around the issue regarding the Pay per Mile Taxes, other than this is a genuine agenda by the government, is a complete crock.

The argument as I understand it is that the government’s present methods of obtaining funds in order to maintain the roads and various types of infrastructure, which is mainly the gas tax of nearly nineteen cents a gallon, is just not nearly enough tax income for the government to do these jobs. This is so unsupportable as an argument that it’s just laughable. This is a government that literally throws away billions upon billions of tax dollars, from scams such as global support to the never ending need for more luxuriant lifestyles for government to, well, there is no stop to government waste. The simple and honest truth is that this is the government’s way of continuing its abuse of power in order to pinpoint the location and activity of every single American citizen and, frankly, anyone doing anything in this country they despise. But because this is a monster of such enormous proportion that, if it is not brought to a stop quickly, could turn into a monster coming that closer to completing the government’s circle of absolute control over the people.

Sure, some would say that this is a paranoid attitude and that the government has its valid reasons, but for how much longer do we give the obvious and entire BS story of the government’s actions verity when it is becoming ever clearer that this is the most corrupt government this planet has ever witnessed? Furthermore, who in their right mind would assume the government would settle for tracking the mileage driven by an automobile (an ability already in place, since every act of maintenance on a car or any vehicle includes annotating the odometer reading) and follow through on the promise that the technology wouldn’t be used to GPS track an automobile and the individuals within it? Who is this naïve?

Those who know of me are aware that I make my living as a professional truck driver. I, and my colleagues, trace the roadways of this country at every moment of every day. If there’s anyone who knows road construction is about as difficult to avoid as avoiding McDonald’s arches, it would be the truck drivers of America. But that doesn’t support the argument that the money isn’t there. However, seeing one unnecessary widening and creation of superhighways through some small rural neighborhood after another when a simple two-lane road would more than suffice is an indication that some fool doesn’t know what they are doing…or plenty know exactly what they are doing.

Yes, there are numerous projects going on everywhere, where entire intersections are being rebuilt and simple, two-lane roads are being widened into six-lane divided highways when there is little more than local traffic and a few farm tractors. Furthermore, what’s paying for these useless high-speed rail systems that are sure to go the way of Amtrak?

But it simply seems obvious these arguments are redundant to those recognizing this is simple another effort on the part of a Luciferian government to continue its pursuit of absolute control, corruption and despotism. Beyond that, it’s yet another example of how easy it is to convince the idiotic Liberal that we have to throw yet more of your virgin daughters into the mouth of the volcano in order to appease the Rain Gods. They are claiming they would never pursue placing GPS tracking devices in vehicles because that would be a violation of privacy and an example of government overreach? To buy into that would require a special kind of stupid.

This is not mere government corruption and overreach anymore; this is in-your-face and sitting-on-your-chest-while-dangling-spit-over-your-face corruption and heavy-handedness on the part of an entity that believes you and everything else in existence belongs to them. You don’t have to like it, bitch, but giving in and tucking your tail to where it belongs would make things a whole lot easier on you and that pretty little seven year old girl of yours, now huh? Big Brother is large and in charge and you had better board the serf train and learn to love it. But because we like to show off the smiles you serfs paid for, we’ll call this a pay-per-mile tax rather than what it is, which is a leash law.

Beyond these obvious points, let’s take a look at how this would have to be enabled? All new vehicles from here forward would require the technology (if it isn’t already activated, such as through OnStar) and all commercial vehicles would require it by a specified date. There would simply be no choices until such a time came that some American felt the gumption to disable the thing on their vehicle. That would merely be seen as criminal intent and coped with as such, placing such acts under that umbrella. Toe the line and play nice or you’ll be branded.

That is simply Big Brother getting arrogant, and who could offer evidence that this is not where all of this is going?

Dogs- An Abominable Freak Requiring Immediate Annihilation from this Planet

Dogs- Shouldn’t this so-called pet become a thing of the past?

Because there is no other way to say this, I’ll just say it directly- the dog needs to go away as a pet.

These things have become as worthless as the day is long. And it isn’t the dog’s fault. It amazes me beyond comprehension how so many people in the world today still harbor such an enormous amount of ignorance when it comes to the dogs in our world. The simple fact of the matter is that the dog is a man-made creature. It has been brought to be through centuries of haphazard inbreeding in order to create some eventual animal specifically designed for a specific purpose. Perhaps this seemed like a good idea at one point in time, but that time has passed.

It seems like so many people are hard-wired into thinking that the dog has to be a part of life, but this ruse came about in much the same way that certain foods are most appropriate for breakfast. At one point in time in the scheme of things, someone came up with a grand idea on how to increase the sales of eggs and bacon, and someone else saw a capitalistic opportunity to make it big on selling dogs. Perhaps this was awesome long ago. There was surely a time when the dachshund made sense to somebody as an effective hunting dog for hole-dwelling prey. Today, they're just an object of ridicule. 

All breeds were created for some purpose. The Pit Bull was intentionally created to be a maniacal monster that would tear apart its own kind on command (which is why today’s geniuses just love to drop these things into the midst of their children) only for the amusement of pathetic cowards. Anyone who continues with the attitude that Pit Bull fighting is an aspect of culture needs to be castrated, by a Pit Bull. The Retrievers were designed to retrieve fallen prey, which were mainly birds such as ducks, but today so few are for this purpose and most just occupy the end of a chain. Many little breeds were designed to be companion animals, which makes one wonder how the Chihuahua ended up being such a miserable little monster.

The major problem is that dogs were created through severe and long-term inbreeding processes, and this continues to this very day. But the obvious issue that somehow ended up being the big gorilla in the room is that the human population (also severely inbred, it seems) has expanded to several times from what it was when the dog came on the scene of popularity. Thus, the continual inbreeding of dogs has continued to the point that the gene pool of the canine of today is about as shallow as a puddle.

I feel fine in stating that the Veterinary Industry of today should feel great shame for its role in aggravating what is an abominable practice. There is almost no breed of dog in existence today that is not a pure abomination of grand proportion. Every dog breed suffers immensely through a myriad of horrible afflictions attributed specifically to the problem of inbreeding. Some of these afflictions are relatively minor and can be treated, but others are so horrifying (such as insanity) that their proliferation is nothing less than evil. While the British Bulldog might seem endearing in its freakish nature, these poor things are born only through artificial means (they must be born via C-Section in order to not kill the mother because of their huge heads) and then must endure a lifetime of horrible afflictions that require constant treatment, and then still the things die much earlier than their counterparts because of the aggravated problem.

Poodles go deaf and crazy, so many breeds develop hip and skeletal issues that maim them early in life, and numerous breeds suffer skin afflictions so severe that modern veterinary medicine scrambles just to ease the torture. Furthermore, we have created monstrous issues by creating the perfect conditions to widely breed fleas and ticks, making them stronger and more resilient than ever before, thus creating an evil plague afflicting other species that were perfectly fine without humanity’s help.

How does it make sense to have every single county in the United States, let alone the rest of the world, harboring an uncountable number of abandoned animals who are entirely unwanted by anyone in a location that is an easy stroll from where one can buy just about any dog or puppy on demand? These no-kill shelters act as though they’re being humane by not putting these animals down (mercifully), but would rather crowd them into conditions so horrifying that those dogs not going crazy because of their barbaric inbreeding go crazy via the vulgar lives they must endure. Just look at the conditions of any so-called shelter and you’ll find a place of horror. These poor animals are kept in cages so small and they might have so much as some cushioning with some dirty blanket. They’re forced to endure their own filth at least a good portion of the day before some lackey comes along to minimize the mess. But yet it would be madness to stop this misery.

More and more people today are finding themselves living in conditions where they are no longer allowed to have a pet. The average apartment might allow room for some severely inbred Pug or Miniature Pinscher, but yet so many of these inbreeds want to fill these places with an overgrown and menacing Pit Bull, directly because they know the dog is a coward’s monster only good for attacking old ladies and little children.

I am endlessly appalled by these liberal suckasses who stick up for the Pit Bull with the attitude of, “Don’t judge the breed, but the breeder, or the owner. Give them a loving home and they’ll be wonderful.”

Morons.

For those who have been residing on this planet for any length of time, I have a question. When one hears of a dog attack on the news, is the breed of the dog often in question? Do we continually hear of Pomeranians going mad and attacking a schoolyard full of Kindergartners? Do we hear of some Pug losing control and ripping the arm off some screeching senior citizen who was simply checking their mail? No, the breed in question is almost always the Pit Bull, and that is exactly why the breed is so popular to have as a pet or (I might be sick) a guard dog. What good is a so-called guard dog that attacks a toddler for no good reason? What are you inbreeds guarding, your VHS collection of Barney episodes? The home movies of all your uncles running a chain on you?

There has been exactly zero success in dealing with pet overpopulation despite the numerous efforts placed by well-meaning people. Veterinarians spay and neuter for small costs, but still most people won’t even entertain the option. This is particularly true with the so-called purebred dog (meaning the inbreeding is peaked) because the abominable freak has papers and therefore the freaks it spawns might be worth money. A Cabbage Patch doll has papers, asshole; go get one of those.

Your charming, effervescent author once adored the dogs of the world. When I was a boy, I had a retriever mix-breed I loved dearly. I looked forward to the time he and I spent together and even my friends thought of him as one of the guys. But after a few short years I reached adulthood and left home to pursue what this world had left to offer, and I had to leave this friend behind. Eventually, someone there found the dog dead in a snow bank. So much for caring for that nonhuman member of the family.

Some years later, I adopted a greyhound from one of the local racetracks (racing greyhounds- a very good reason why aliens from other planets won’t have anything to do with us). While I cared about the dog and the entire family indulged his peculiar ways with love and patience, this abominable sub-breed is such a wreck that the issue of racing these animals for momentary amusement is part of the definition of evil. I would go into the issue of the problem, but there’s nothing I could pass on that would be anything new and the popularity of this barbaric practice only continues to grow.

Just so you know, I don’t have a specific issue with the racing itself (other than the existence of dogs) because the things just love to run. I mean, they love to run. But the conditions these poor dogs endure specifically because humanity couldn't give a flying fuck are beyond the realm of normal evil. Sure, you have people stepping in to help, but they only aggravate the issue through alleviating the inconveniences suffered by those running the industry. If legislation came down stating that all racing dogs must have a home equal to the most pampered of pets and that they were afforded the benefits of any other professional athlete, I would be quieter in my rants. But because they are actually treated as the very lowest of the low in the dog world, the whole issue is pure evil. Hey, how do they create an inbreeding issue that leads to a phobia of stairs? That’s just meaner than mean, if you ask me. The Pug, as stupid as it is, is more than happy to tumble down any flight of stairs and find its feet with that perpetual smile on its knobby head. But greyhounds endure an evil world full of staircases that inspire terror in their hearts.

I cannot say for certain humanity would not miss what they like about dogs should all dogs go away, but the dogs would be better off. Perhaps Paris Hilton’s dog has it okay, but most dogs endure a life of misery via being of a species viciously polluted by humanity. Most dogs, should they not be born a commodity brought to be by what’s called a reputable breeder (there’s an oxymoron for you) are born literally worth less than zero, yet their being born is a condition proven unstoppable.

Just wander into any grocery store and consider what the fuck we feed these things. The foods available to the dog are widely considered a slow poison for dogs and are banned from consumption by anything else or anyone. Should a wayward child be discovered eating this shit and people go into a panic, assured the child might die any moment. For any of you who read this far, make an honest effort to look into the making of the average dog food and then come back to me with the slightest complaint of this blog post. I have every confidence to stand by my assertion that everything ‘dog’ is just wrong.

For you who support the way things are or have some practical idea on how to improve the situation, please step forward. But I close this post here, confident that I am right on this issue despite the whimpering. Oh, and Dogs is my all-time favorite Pink Floyd song.
