Abbie Hoffman Moment

Why Can't We Call The Bible Fiction?

So the Christian crowd is now up in arms because the retail industry has become more concerned with truthful labeling of the products they sell. One moment, Christians want everyone, with a few notorious exceptions among their own numbers, to tell the truth. The next moment, they cry for retailers to violate Federal Trade Commission law by selling bibles and stating that the information contained therein is true, rather than fiction! There's just no pleasing some people! Hopefully, all these offended Christians will remember to have Happy Holidays this year!

 

Mitt Romney Doesn't Think Half Of Us Matter

Amazing. Mitt Romney has America's demographics neatly catagorized into two almost equal parts: the people who will probably vote for Obama, and the people who might not vote for Obama. Or; the haves and the have-nots! In Romney's neat little labeling system, the "have-nots" are comprised of about forty-seven percent of Americans. The "have-nots" are also the people who are least likely to vote for Romney. That is not only a very significant minority, that's damn near half of us! So; to recap and understand Romney's statement, by which, as a matter of fact, he stands; about half of America's citizens are people who do not matter to him. Yet, he wants to lead them. Since enlisted military personel are often not among the richest half of citizens, he would be their Commander In Chief, yet not give a rip what happens to them during a war because they are "lazy bastards" in his world. Good to know. Nice language, too. Anyone who has lost a job or a home during the economic reversal of the past few years, I suppose, are also "lazy bastards". Probably people with disabilities, as well. Lets not forget children, who are not old enough to work. Will Mitt change that, and send small children to work in factories if their families are not wealthy, or what he calls "lazy bastards"? After all, about half of the people in this country are "lazy bastards".............

 

More On Labels

I recently published a rather longwinded post about labels, and the labels that a lot of people seem to reserve for me. I also dealt with labels that these particular people place on themselves. In several paragraphs, I did a rather nice job of disproving the content of the labels, and proving the inaccuracy to the labels, if I do say so myself. I also asked these people, and they all know who they are, too, if a person actually is a doctor, lawyer, teacher, or cop just because the person looks and acts like one. Then I came across this article today, and almost died laughing!

"Kissimmee police say the 17-year-old performed CPR on a patient in cardiac arrest at the Osceola Regional Medical Center. The arrest report says the teen also performed physical examinations and other forms of care on an undisclosed number of unsuspecting patients."..............Associated Press

That's right; a Florida youth, not identified because of his age, masqueraded as a physicians' assistant in an hospital, and because he LOOKED like a physicians' assistant, and ACTED like a physicians' assistant, lots of folks who came in contact with him were high enough on koolaide to THINK he was a physicians' assistant! Luckily, before any life-altering problems were caused by this, someone noticed the difference between the label and the reality and called the cops on him. Now he's in jail. Good Golly Gee; what's he gonna say to the peeps in jail, when they all brag about what they did to get there? Remember Alice's Restuarant, when Arlo Guthrie got arrested for littering, and later, when drafted, had to explain to all the other "criminals", "mother rapers" and "father rapers" and people who had done terrible, terrible things, that his big caper had been littering? What's this kid going to do around all the "mother rapers", "father rapers", car theives, money launderers, drug runners, and bar fighters when it's his turn to brag about his crime? "Hi everyone. I impersonated a medical professional at the hospital." ................Hahahahahaha! His parents really should have taught him that if you can't do the time, you really shouldn't do the crime. It's a shame; he must be an intelligent kid to pull off a stunt like that and actually get away with it for any length of time. Goddess help him if it was a scheme to steal drugs..........but anyway...labels. Think long and hard before you print them up. Also think long and hard about what's actually implied and defined.

Update: This little boy either needs lumps of coal for xmas, or a toy stethescope!
