Ramblings On From the News
So let me review my ramblings, rants and raves today, let me start with the news.
Definitely not a rave, because this article just saddens me. It sounds as if an argument escalated into someone’s death. What happened to agreeing to disagree? When did we decide that everyone should be justified? And when did people decide that guns would solve problems?

Should we talk about more bad behavior? The following is another article for my rants column on this post. This woman exercises bad behavior on a flight, it appears other people place the blame on alcohol as she was drinking heavily prior to the flight. Personally drinking or not bad behavior belongs to the person that has no manors. This is world with an ever increasing population, with that manors should be playing a larger role in society not less as they appear to be. Isn’t it sad that someone would be restrained with duct tape on a flight because their behavior was so nasty?

This article is a rant and a rave all rolled into one! A gentleman in Missouri has been found guilty of hitting a construction worker with his car through a construction zone. It appears that the jury suggested 7 years for this drunken driver, too short if you want my opinion. I find this article a rave because YES he is going to prison for killing someone, but a rant because 7 years does not equal the life he took. I believe that he should get more time in prison, this guy was drunk when he decided – chose to get behind the wheel of a car – did the young college student get any choices? This should fall under a manslaughter charge smacked with at least 15 years.

The next article is more about judges that over-turn juries because they think the juries didn’t understand. I am really getting annoyed with these judges. Juries are people that have given their time for a duty for their country, they listen to all the information to make a decision in a case – and in cases like this for what? The smacks of a judge that feels the average person is too stupid to understand the decision they made about the law. I personally think too many judges are over stepping their boundary of presiding over cases, they are wanting to be the jury too.

What can I say about the next article? This is another teen who thought that he had some sort of rights in his mother’s home, that he became so enraged to stab her is vile. I blame the media, the left wing conservatives, and of course many parents for the problems with our teens these days. I remember when mine were young that other adults wanted to call the kids little people, like they were mini-adults with choices and decisions. I always corrected people, these are children, not little adults, they should be taught respect to other adults, to their parents, teachers, etc. There is a time for an opinion and a time to just get over yourself and deal with the situation.

This article is just plain funny 
This guy steals women’s panties, he did have some assistance from a female accomplice. So what did they plan to do with all those panties? Did they have big plans to resale these and make money? 
Maybe the panties were for the female accomplice, his idea of getting her something sexy. 
In the end it is still theft which is just morally wrong – no matter what is being stolen.

This article is from a nearby local paper. This 22 year old kid is getting the book slammed at him for manufacturing meth, the system has added another 8 years on top of his already 15 year sentence. Some real quick math shows that this guy gets 23 years for manufacturing meth – but go back to my article on the Missouri driver that killed the 22 year old college student. The guy that killed the construction worker / college kid gets 7 years and this guy gets 23 years without killing anyone directly? Hmm I am confused on the sentencing for drugs versus a person’s life. Don’t get me wrong the guy deserves prison, but the other guy that killed someone deserves a sentence more fitting the crime.

On a political note I was glad the election phase was over so I’d quit hearing all the bull passed around. Alas though now the Obama has been elected the bull keeps on coming across the news. The Indy Star wants to talk about how Obama won, and how he won the State of Indiana. Mostly he won the State of Indiana because we have plenty of not-so-brights living in this state. I seen my home state of Kansas was red, see those with real moral values live in the central plains states. I have seen more claims by the media that Obama brought out the black voters because they were tired of Bush. Personally I think that is lots of crap! The black voter came out because there was a black man running for office. I think this election was more about setting a piece of history than it was about the facts and where Obama stood. I still think it is ironic that Obama is only half-black with a strong white family raising him (remember his black father left the family when he was at a young age) that everyone is totting him as the great black man. I truly think the black voters will be disappointed with Obama in a few years as his white up-bringing shines through. I also thought is was interesting in another article I read that Obama is not truly the first black man in office. We have had several that were part black, with black heritage and/or linage similar to Obama’s. It appears simply that these men passed themselves as white same as Obama passing himself as black – because they looked the part. I seriously worry about where Obama will take us in the next 4 years.

Then I can’t let the Prop 8 issue drop, after all the homosexual community can’t take the voted failure they received. This is another reason I am sick of the homosexual community, they lost in a popular vote, the state constitution will state that a marriage is between a man and a woman, period. The homosexual community has already started filing all their legal bull trying to get this religious item (marriage was created from the religious sector) changed to fit their needs, trying to force a religious item to go against the religious principles. Maybe the homosexual community should be more creative and come up with their own type of union, having the drive add that to the choices instead forcing others to change their choice. The homosexual are claiming this is a civil rights issue – sorry don’t see it. Homosexual have made a choice in how they chose to live how does this follow any civil right? What about my rights? The right not to have their crap taught in my schools, to my kids? If I can’t talk about the birth of Christ in school then why does this left wing radical group get books about the King & the King read in schools? They talk about letting the children learn and decide, but it is a one sided teaching now.

Today I have said more than enough, and appears to be rants than raves in the news today. My raves today – I’m enjoying some Billy Joel on the computer, listening to his music that has followed me for many years. My youngest daughter is home sick today, I need to call the doctor because it appears she has strep throat. My darling hubby is still on vacation today, so besides sleeping (did another night with the Sheriff’s dept last night), we get some more family time with him. Actually since my darling is a telecommuter working from home every day we get more of his smiling face than other families probably do of their husband/dad. It is amazing that after 10 years of marriage I still love spending time with him, and since I don’t work I spend an extraordinary amount of time with him, day in and day out 24/7. He is still my best friend, and I never tire of talking to him. Remember the good things in life, and love always. Heck I still love my two older daughters, I simply don’t understand where they are in their lives right now. As their mother all I can do is pray for God to watch over them, to guide them back, and for the angels to keep them safe as they journey through these lessons of life. I heard this song the other day that so reminded me of my daughters. So listen, enjoy, and blessing until next time!
