"Why Ryan...that's almost like humor"

Hello and welcome to another addition to my wonderful unread blog. I was really starting to lose interest in this but not enough I stopped checking how many hits I get every day. I seem to be getting some everyday now. The 27th for instance I got 6 although three of those were from someone using AOL so it may have been the same person. But even so that's four hits in one day. Since I'm accustomed to no hits or one if I was lucky this looks good. On the other hand I've been looking at my counter's features and it looks like people are finding my archived pages via Google searches for famous quotes from The Simpsons and Futurama. So I don't even know if anyone is actually reading any entry at all, recent entries or whatever. Because, ya see, my counter is on all the archive pages too. So any hit to any number of pages just shows up as a hit. So if you're really reading please send me e-mail. Use the address at the left. The one saying I'm trying to defeat the evil spam bots. Come you can figure that out can't ya? Just write a 1 second note saying "d00d ur bLof suc0r". Don't be so elaborate though...

Of course I'm a little conflicted if I even want anyone to read this. I mean read this blog and you might actually know me a little too well. Well note really, I mean I hardly ever use vulgarity in real life. And I'm definitely an introverted person in real life. So I'm an introvert who's extroverted in his blog. So it's whine about no hits but be nervous of many hits because then people will see into the true me. Or whatever.

So what is there to write about now? How about my job? Ok so I've self-taught myself how to do technical support over the phone. No, I did not receive any training. Any complains about my abilities can be sent to /dev/null or shoved up your ass whatever comes first.

Jeeze where'd that come from? So I think I'm finally a full-fledged tech support after 5 weeks of 7 hours a day 6 days a week. Well a 40-hour a week so not 7 days. Yeah whatever. I just about got my questions down to fine system. There's several levels of user ability ya see. If I ask "user name?" and the person "John Jay Doe the second" I know it's particular type of user because I said user name not what's your name. Damn stupid people. Now if they actually CAN tell me their user name and spell it out for me just so I can do that annoying thing only called "my job" they're really in the upper echelon. Then it's just figuring out which version of Windows they have.

You wouldn't think this would be so difficult to figure out. I mean it only says it in extremely large type when you turn the friggin’ computer on. Also when click start IT SAYS IT VERTICALLY ON THE FUCKING LEFT. Come on people. Just a little of creativity or observation would be nice. It's really not hard to find. Ok? Ok so we got the username and the version of Windows you're using...and it only took ten minutes! Now what's your problem?

Can't connect? Ok click start. The start button. Left click. Left click start.

Ok kill me.

Silence.

Did you click start?

[What you expect I can see your screen? How the fuck would I know? Tell me what's going on people!]

Ok now click control panel.

At this point if you're using windows XP your control panel is either blue with "pick a category" or white with icons. Again I can't see your screen. Can't you work me here?

Ok bring up Internet Options. Great we're an eighth of the way there. DOUBLE click Internet Options. DOUBLE LEFT click Internet Options.

Ok again. Can you work with me here? Ok click the Connections Tab. CONNECTIONS. Gah.

Ok boring my self to death I haven't even gotten to the wizard to setup the stupid connection yet! This is what I do every day. Over and over with the connection wizard. With the left click. With the whatever. I'm putting my self to sleep just writing about it. I hope this was oh-so-fun. But I'm going to bed. So goodnight.

The title of the last entry, "Holy Shit!!", could be from any number of sources. In X-Men 2 for instance, Wolverine was fighting this antagonist (Lady Deathstrike although she never talks and no one ever mentions her name) when she suddenly extends her nails out similar to his claws. I could just some how "feel" the entire audience of the theater thinking to themselves "holy shit!" then suddenly Wolverine himself lets out a "holy shit!". I guess everyone else was thinking this because the audience started laughing. Or, as mentioned in the last entry, this quote could be from the first American Pie movie. The high-schooler audience was watch a certain something on a web cam and the various cast members were heard to exclaim each in turn "holy shit!". That movie was actually "alright". Sort of.

"That's no reason to block the TV!"

To tell you the truth I'm not sure I quite feel like writing in my blog tonight, but I don't want to risk losing interest in it so here I am, writing in it.

So I'm still playing this RPG, Planescape: Torment. I've got my player, "Nameless One," up to a level 9 Mage and no fewer than 5 companions (Morte, Anna, Ignuss, Dak'kon, and Fall-From-Grace). I'm not sure how far along I am in the game but I'm guessing I'm either close to or past the half way point. Actually the maximum level for the character I think is 20 so I may or may not be even close to half way done with this game. I really shouldn't be in such a hurry to finish this game as the experience of going through is much more enjoyable than is knowing everything there is to know and solving all the secrets. I just can't stand no knowing something, and there's never enough time to find everything in the time I have to do so.

There are so many incredibly long conversations in this game I can hardly believe it. And I have to talk to every character. Which means a lot of repetitive conversation strings. And I can't forget to go back to a particular conversation string, oh no that'll affect me the rest of the game. Fortunately a lot of the conversations are really quite interesting and manage to keep me interested long enough to read. I just ran through this "Brothel of Slating Intellectual Lusts" which is filled "Mind Prostitutes." No intercourse ya see, only lively debate and other adventures-of-the-mind. Pfff whatever. I got some experience for me character and gained a companion so what do I care?

So has anybody been following this California recall election? Here I am in the middle of it. As mentioned in a previous post I was rather offended by the apparent lack of coverage by the media, even the local California media. And oh hoe now what? A recall election? What the people didn't want Gray-out Davis? Imagine that! I could have told them that 18 months ago. All it took was a recall election and one of those annoying popular movements by the people and finally the media is forced to cover the story. If Arnold wins at least I'll be miles from a major celebrity. Well I already a miles now technically but more like a few hundred miles. Soon I'll be within 15 miles of good old Arnie. Ok I just gave away the city I live in. Good thing no one would feel like looking it up.

Now, what about my job? Yes, the tech support one. Ever since this damned virus got released the system we use to track calls, a queue of "tickets" that get dropped in when a call comes and no one answers it. When I left tonight there were 300+ tickets in the queue waiting to be called back. Still calls from Monday that never got returned, calls from noon today (Tuesday), lots of tickets. And of course the phone always ringing. Three lines at a time sometimes. Of course this virus is NOT our problem. It's not the ISP's fault, the problem wasn't caused by the ISP and the ISP never took any responsibility for blocking such things. Of course my particular ISP just happened to have tweaked some settings around the time this virus started propagating so that made the queue go even higher. And a range of access numbers happened to be turned off at this time. Even more tickets. But the virus isn't our fault but rather Microsoft's bug in Microsoft's operating systems (NT derivatives: NT4, 2k and WinXP).

Now me I'm not worried about my XP or 2k server computers without the fancy patch. I have a fancy Linux-based router/firewall ya see. No virus is getting into my network. Even if it got in some how my main computer still has a software firewall so I would still be covered. I think my 2k machine would be toast though. Good thing I'm closed tight thanks to the Linux firewall. I highly recommend whatever few people are reading this get their own software based firewall like Zone Alarm or Kerio personal firewall. No, I'm not link to the sites for those. I don't feel like linking to something that takes 10 seconds to google. Jeeze people just type it in and push ENTER. Not that hard. Ok enough ranting.

Well this entry hardly looks like 2 hours worth of writing. Well not 2 hours so much maybe it just feels like it. Anyway I'm going to bed now so here's the explanation of last entry's title and goodnight already.

The title of the last entry, "Don't touch that Herman, it's horseshit," isn't actually a pop-culture reference (at least so far as I know). This is actually a favorite quote of my recently departed grandfather's whom I still miss greatly. For instance I mentioned to him once that I had read a story about Bill Gates (CEO of Microsoft and richest man alive) giving away more than half his fortune for poor minority college scholarships and his memorable quip return was "don't touch that Herman, it's horseshit." His way of saying not to believe it. My grandfather was a very bright man with a sharp mind to the day he died. I think I have a little of that intellect in me but not nearly enough.

"Don't touch that Herman, it's horseshit"

I think I'll start off light-hearted and move on to the stuff I really wan to write about at the bottom. First of all is my job. Yes, I'm tech support. At an ISP. I think I'm fairly good though. Ok? Sometimes my patience does where a little thin.

Am I saying my patience runs thin with the customers, or the company I work for? What am I a dictionary? Ok fine. Well there's no managers or supervisors for this position ya see. And the times I'm at work very few of whom which I can inquire if I do have a question. Like "what is my schedule" and "oh, those access numbers don't work".

Sure fine. No training what so ever. No manual. No one to call if there's problem you need fixed or an irate customer to deal with. No one. Well there are the co-workers who have been there a while. They're all very apathetic and seem little caring as to what the answer or whether we're every going to help this poor caller hold on line 3. I have little recourse however as I have no one to talk to about this. I would try to write a manual myself except it's not my job. And even if I did write a manual I would only share it with new employees and not with management. If they don't give fuck about me or the customer why should I give a fuck about them or whether they go out of business? I don't care. About management. The non-existent management. I do care about the customer.

Ok here comes the fun part...

Ok for all you Internet users out there who have contemplated calling the local ISP for technical support I have a few tips and techniques for ensuring the person on the other end who otherwise is only there to speak in confusing language and not offer any real help can understand you easier more effectively.

Tips and Tricks for customers making calls to their ISP tech support:

• Be sure to be completely unaware of which version of Windows you're using or if you're even using Windows, it will only annoy the tech supporter.
  
• Be sure to be completely clueless as to what you're using for e-mail as this is completely unimportant especially when you're having e-mail problems.
  
• Also be sure not to know how to find your e-mail program so you can spend a half an hour having the tech explain to you how to use the start menu and find outlook express. After all in all likelihood the tech has nothing better to do and all those phones ringing in the background are merely background music and not annoying at all.
  
• Be sure to tell the tech lots of anecdotal stories that have nothing whatsoever to do with your problem as the tech loves to listen to it and has nothing better to do but listen to you all day (and no supervisors or anyone else pressuring him to take as many calls as possible).
  
• Be sure and call and ask unrelated questions like "we just got a new computer and when we went to shut it down it just froze and the power button doesn't work what do we do?" as Internet Service Provider tech support is there to answer just such questions (hold the power button down for 5 seconds). Oh and be sure and call back angry at the tech support for "breaking" your computer when all you had to do was hit the button labeled "power" to turn it back on.
  
• Be sure to call on as crappy a phone and phone line as you can find. And talk as quietly as possible. The techs ya see, they get really annoyed when they can actually hear you and understand what your saying and your problem as opposed to static and your voice coming for a vast far distance.
  
• Now when calling the ISP be sure and use a crappy cell phone because as with the last remark being able to hear and understand a customer is the least important item on a list of things you need to get help from someone over the phone.
  
• When you have a problem with the service and/or an issue with the bill be SURE and call at 11:30 at night and YELL and CURSE and SCREAM at the tech support who is paid $7 an hour to sit in a tiny room at 11:30 at night and knows NOTHING of billing policy or anything else about the company. Because, ya see, company’s always put the BEST most qualified people on the 11:30pm shift and pay them $7 an hour. Be sure to have a few drink before hand too. That can only help.
  
• Be sure you can only marginally speak English. It's really bad to actually be capable of communication with the tech before you call.
  
• Very important your computer isn't actually on when tech support calls you back of when you call tech support. Also be sure you're in another room and don't leave or anything to be in front of your computer when the tech starts to try and help you.
  
• Now if you're on Macintosh be sure and call up ask the tech to send you a non-existent Internet Explorer 5.5 because your bank will not let you access their web site without IE 5.5. Be sure not to be swayed by minor facts like not seeing any IE 5.5 listed at microsoft.com/mac, as the ISP after all is completely responsible for the development of IE and the name "Microsoft Internet Explorer" is completely irrelevant. And when the ISP can’t give you this mystical IE 5.5 for Mac on CD be sure to threaten to go to another ISP who can actually help you (that will help).
  
• When calling up with the error "bad username or password" be sure not to mention you don't actually know the password or you forgot it. This will only make the tech's job harder.
  
• In fact leave out as many facts as possible. Call from work and using a corporate network? Don't mention it! Still have AOL installed and aren't even dialing the ISP up? Don't mention it! The fewer facts the tech has to work with the better!
  

Well I hope that was fun to read. It certainly let some steam off as far as job-related stress. Ok I just have one more anecdotal story. An obvious computer illiterate calls up and needs to have her internet settings re-adjusted. This requires using the Start button to access the control panel. So I say "push the start button" and the caller says "the computer is already on". Yes. Good. The computer's on. LMAO.

Ok now that the fun stuff is out of the way lets move on to politics. For instance Gary Coleman is running for Governor. Well that's just great. Actually I find that remarkably funny and entertaining. He's only a protest candidate for an anti-recall newspaper in Oakland. I think I'll vote for him : ).

Now what? How about the weather? Here in California where I live it's supposed to be about 115 degrees Fahrenheit and yet it’s almost fall-like temperature-wise. Remarkably cool for some reason. Yes. The most industrialized state in the most industrialized country in the entire world is having a remarkably cool spell. Wow what a perfect and subtle transition to my next line of thought...global warming.

Now this seems a bit of a weird term to me for some reason as the part of it referring to the globe. This would imply, to me at least, that the entire globe was actually, you know, warming. Obviously a gross miscalculation of logic. How in the world would someone get global warming out of a name like "global warming". Pehshaw! Idiot I am. Also don't forget global warming is really a weapon of mass destruction. It was reported by a British scientist and is therefore correct and 100% accurate.

And of course the United States of America is 100% to blame for this. Global warming I mean. But only in the last 18 months or so. Before then global warming didn't exist ya see. As stated in the article "the United States, in an "epic" abandonment of leadership, was largely responsible for the threat.". So there ya go. George W. Bush is some how 100% responsible for Global warming AND all the deaths it has ever caused whether it really exists or not.

Also this "scientist" stated, "nowadays everyone knows that the US is the world's biggest polluter, and that with only one 20th of the world's population it produces a quarter of its greenhouse gas emissions." Nothing like facts and figures to prove a point. And what better fact-and-figure than "nowadays everyone knows". Well obviously. Everyone knows when everyone knows something it's automatically true. What you didn't know that? Of course! As soon as "everyone knows it" the statement is auto-magically a true one.

Following the above statement was the quote "But the US government, in an abdication of leadership of epic proportions, is refusing to take the problem seriously -- and Britain, presumably because Blair wishes not to offend George W. Bush -- is beginning to fall behind too". Which means just being on the same side as George W. Bush in a successful war gives you the dreaded "bad global warming policy virus" easily transferable from one person with knowledge of unpopular political stances. So the obvious message here is don't be on the side of George W. Bush, you'll cause global warming get even worse than it already is. Duh!

All these quotes were from a British scientist named John Houghton as can be found in the above enclosed link.

Now I really don't understand this global warming thing. First of all the "globe" doesn’t seem to be getting any "warmer" which would seem contradict with the whole title to begin with. But lets not get caught up in semantics. Sure London is having record breaking heat wave but what about California? As mentioned earlier it's incredibly cool right now as opposed to the normal 115 dry heat. Is that caused by global warming too? Why would "global warming" make some places warm and other places cooler? Someone please, explain this to me.

Also who says the USA is the highest polluter? For instance if say satellite imagery seemed to indicate the largest amount of pollution coming from South America would that mean more pollution is coming from South America? I mean I realize satellite have an obvious conservative slant but it's just a question. Does satellite data indicating there's more pollution coming from South America mean South America is producing more pollution than North America? Yes...or no? It's just a fucking question!

Ok I have more questions. Asia for instance. The India/Pakistan region has a billion+ people and little to know environmental policy. Right next door to this region is China with another billion people. Even if there were some sort of environmental policies instituted would there be any chance of enforcing it across that large of a population?

I saw this story on 60 Minutes (which I would normally never watch for lack of actual quality) in which this "holy river" was completely saturated with human waste a lot of which was the solid variety. But the people in the area still bathed in it and kids still played around it. Because it's a holy river and therefore cannot be polluted. It's completely brown, you watch human waste float by and it's not polluted. Also India has a better environmental policy than the United States. And the United States is ONLY polluted because of George W. Bush. It wasn't polluted when the last guy was president. The entire globe has gone down hill temperature-wise in the last 18 months. Because of George W. Bush. No see you have to believe this. You're just another right wing fruitcase if you don't believe it. And everyone knows it which makes it true. Hey whatuhya want from me? I'm just callin him like I see them.

Of course this is a serious phenomenon. Environmentalist quick to jump on the USA's environmental policy and equally quick not to mention the policies of say Cuba, China or North Korea. The communist countries. How about Mexico where the smog regulations for cars aren't even enforced? Where people think it's normal to just toss wrappers and trash and whatever out the window as opposed to throwing it away? Actually Saddam Hessian did a lot to hurt the environment too. And he was a "big oil" man. He even invaded Kuwait, a fellow oil-producing country. Yet Saddam isn't an evil just-for-oil anti-environmentalist? Hmmmm. Coincidental I am sure. Has nothing to do with the close ties between environmentalism and the radical left. Don't ever think there's a connection between the two. And be sure not to read the Sierra Club web site for the talking points before hand when confronting any environmentalists on these issues before hand ;-).

Well it's edging on 3am now so I think I'm going to bed. I think I enjoyed tonight’s entry a little more than usual some how. Here's the last entries answer and goodnight.

The title of the last entry, "You can fit four in there!", is from Whose Line is it Anyway?. Or more specifically the punch line to one of the jokes. The game was to come up with creative/funny/pun-filed phrases based on suggestions from the audience. The suggestion was stuff you can say about your truck you *can't* say about your girlfriend.... And this was the punch line: you can fit four in there. Just a little innuendo. If you know what I mean ;-). I'm sure I wasn't the only one to find this funny. Was I? Pfffff.

"You can fit four in there!"

Yes, it's true, my blog now has it's own home with a domain name and everything. Or should I say "oh cool, welcome to 1998"? All right so it took a while before I actually purchased a domain of my very own and made a web site out of it. I hope everyone has it

http://www.etalii-step.com/

That should be the site you're already on but go head click on it if you like. It was an extremely amazing deal too. I bought both the hosting and the domain name for only $65US for a full year paid up. And the reviews from current customers I found were quite heavy with praise for the service. So this is quite the sweet deal. I hope I don't sound like a commercial but I am pretty excited. This is after all my first very own domain name and everything. I am going to put a link up here so other people can sign up with them. Also I'll get a commission :-).

So lately it's just the same old thing every day. I find it so difficult to go immediately to bed when i get home from work even though I get home after midnight. Who really sets their body clock to come home from 7 or 8 hours of work and go immediately to bed anyway? So I end up staying up for a couple hours, which makes me sleep in even further. So I have about 5 hours before work to do whatever, which I guess should be enough for anyone. Right?

I'm still sort of figuring out if I like my new job. I just finished my first two weeks and I think I'm at that stage where I am just getting over the learning curve and/or starting get settled in. I just get so tired of not knowing anything and having virtually no one to ask questions. For instance two weeks ago I was given a schedule by what I assume is a senior boss of the company that included 42 hours a week. Now the standard is 40 and another employee a week newer than I am inquired in accounting about such a setup and was told this was wrong and he'd leave early that day he asked. So what the fuck? Am I not supposed to working 42 hours?! No, no one to ask. No managers, no supervisors, no one. Furthermore I could be doing something completely wrong for all I know or using a facility of the system that doesn't even work. No one has come by to fire me but no one has come by to say "hey new guy just to let you know you seem to be doing your job correctly." I mean this would be nice. Too much to ask? Yes, of course it is. Furthermore I often get questions I haven't the slightest idea how to answer and still no one to ask. This is just great. So apparently my company does not particularly care about customer service. Now tech support is free so I guess you get what you pay for, the customers do that is, but come on now. And the tech support is paid peanuts so the company gets what it pays for too.

I'm not sure what the deal is but it seems I'm not nearly as much in the mood for a blog now a days. Oh sure now that I buy my own domain right? Of course I am working six days a week. That probably has something to do with it. I am already mulling over my next entry though, including a title I for one have always liked although it isn't a pop-culture reference beyond my own grandpa.

Ok so maybe I still do like politics. Not as much as I used to perhaps. My standpoint at least it looks like those "hippies" I so often refer to are really falling apart. Or it could be they only look like they are falling apart. For instance some Democrats are against catching terrorists and preventing the deaths of innocent Americans while others would prefer we give the terrorists welfare and discuss our differences over a cup of tea perhaps. I am of course speaking of the elected and/or running for President individuals. That party has been acting a little weird the past 18 months or so. There was the funeral for the senator from Wisconsin that was broadcast and ended up looking a lot like a political rally. There was that group of congressman who went over to Baghdad and said negative things of their own country. I mean what the fuck is wrong with these people?

Now it is my understanding Democrat party is actually a coalition of several groups of individuals who only unite under a single banner because they know no one of them can win on their own. For instance there's the "scary" left wing types who seem bent on turning the USA into some sort of neo-USSR, the environmentalists who are pretty much the same thing but have gimmick of moving towards the goal of a neo-USSR, there's the union members who care mostly for "fair trade" and "leveling the playing" field and using economic policy the push such ideas, and of course a few others who are simply your average every day types that have one or two they absolutely can't live without such as abortion or gun control but would otherwise vote for some other party. A lot of these groups have opposing viewpoints and it seems now that these groups are becoming more and more hard core. For instance the "environmentalists" as they call themselves for some reason seem bent largely on the complete extinction of the combustion engine (read Earth in the Balance by Al Gore for what I'm talking about) while the union groups are largely made up of the very workers who are making those evil SUVs and other combustion engine-based vehicles.

So does this point to the coming ripping apart of the Democrats as a party? I whole-heartedly doubt it. Just as in the 2000 election the fringe will fade to the background, a centrist will emerge, the massive PR campaign provided free by the biased media will begin and this could very well become a close election. Too much is at stake to risk any other scenario. On the other hand...

There is a theory that the Clintons are secretly trying to sabotage the election of a Democrat in 2004 so Hillary has an all clear to run in 2008. There also appears to be some sort of fight over control of the party between those who were running it before the Clintons came along and the Clintons. I still believe based on the job the media managed to do with Gore who seemed an absolutely non-sellable personality that the party could in fact be pulled together and motivated to put in the votes just like they did in 2000.

Now not to leave the Republicans out or anything I also have commentary on them. Now it seems like currently at least the Republican should the party for "everybody else" as in you're not a neo-USSR type and you're not a historically disastrous economic policy type you may have some place else to go. But really you don't. For some reason Bush is push the left's agenda and giving them much of what they want and ask for. They still hate him with a buring passion despite but he keeps passing their agenda. Bush really isn't all that conservative and never really acted the part either. Even way back in early 1999 or late 1998 when he was just starting to campaign he was very "moderate" or "bipartisan" or whatever. For instance I remember reading his campaign web site back then and it actually stated given that the congress and senate passed a bill requiring gunlocks on all hand guns he would actually sign it. This is grossly left wing and grossly unconstitutional and yet there it was on his web site.

So there ya go. On domestic issues at least we have left and lefter. A senate that's left, a president that's left, everybody's left. Even though the scary left-wingedness the Democrats were exhibiting got more Republicans elected in 2002, which would seem an outright rejection of such ideas, the president still feels the need to move further left and pass their agenda. So I'm not represented. No one in Washington D.C. cares to represent me or a large portion of the population. Now it's not as though I'm all that radical. I mean just let me live my life, make my money, let me spend it as I see fit and let me be. That's pretty much it. No candidates or senators out there who care to represent such a position.

In large part the only thing that would keep me voting for Bush would be his foreign policy. Unlike the previous president Bush is not a p....uhhh pacifist ;-). If it wasn't for Donald Rumsfeld there's a good chance I would never even vote again the rest of my life. There's really no point any more. Politics makes no sense. The USA has a population who essentially rejected wacko leftwing neo-USSR-ism with the 2002 election and yet we have a party other than the wacko left wing one who is also trying to be wacko left wing for some reason. Look the wacko commie pacifist mother fuckers have a party. Where am I, the non-wacko commie pacifist mother fucker supposed to go?! But Bush, thanks in large part to Rumsfeld, will have the superior foreign policy and therefore in all likely hood my vote. So there ya go, the closest I'll ever come to endorsing a candidate. If you can call that an endorsement.

Now what I really don't understand is pacifists now that I'm talking about them. For instance I know there's pacifists out there who would just assume do absolutely nothing about terrorists and just put out an APB on OBL and sit back and live life. A lot of these same people would just assume open the borders and let anyone and everyone stream across, take over our culture and change our language without any regard for the people who are already here and invested heavily and staying here. But these same people for instance lock their doors at night, put up firewalls and use software to block access their computers and any number of other things. This seems inconsistent to me. Why would you protect your own private property, keeping out unwanted visitors from your house and the rest of your property and yet let in lots of illegals and terrorists without the slightest hesitation? Would these people not do anything if a family member was being raped in front of them and they could stop it? After all they are pacifists. They must be passive. They can't shoot the rapist, they can't talk and try to disable the rapist, they would only be able to stand there and watch. And why not? You say this is a bad example? That's what their doing allowing terrorists and illegals who have no intention of working into country. But if it was affecting them personally they'd react differently? Can that be right? I doubt it. Or maybe they would react differently. Of course consistency doesn't seem to be liberalism's strong point.

Now that I've once again gone on with my non-sensical ramblings and most assuredly alienated what audience I ever could have had I think I'll stop writing a while. Here's the answer tot he last entry and goodbye.

The title of the last entry, "...", was a cop-out on my part as I could not think of a good entry title. I was using this ellipse as a placeholder for the brilliant title I would eventually put in there but I never did think of one and I wanted to go to bed. So there's your extensive explanation :-). I'm sure everybody thought of that.
