Yes, Son

..this is my blog, JWG. Google the name to get the joke, but it's more than time we started talking again, and I love you, and I miss you it's been too many years.

Emotional? Yes. Logical? YES.

It's been a long, long road from "there" to "here". Just signed a lease for the first time in almost 10 years, I wasn't planning on doing anything else for the next 12 months, so it seemed appropriate.

But planting roots has shaken me up, nameless stresses and random uncertainty. After so long, being an Official Resident of a Location takes a lot of getting used to.

Logical? No. But very, very Human.

  “If you find yourself in a fair fight, you didn’t plan your mission properly.” – David Hackworth

Logic. The foundation of all Western Civilization, the basis of everything that has advanced us from the Caves. Spear/Atlatl/Bow+arrow - someone figures it out using Logic.

Take a look - guy throws spear farther, we are more safely away from dangerous beast (dinner) "How'd you do that?" "Uh, hooked this stick to the back then flung it like This!"

Worked, so they all started doing it, and Won.

We've been doing a lot of stuff lately that defies Logic. Logic always wins. You can ride it out for awhile, it sure makes you a lot of money and/or makes you look good in the short run, but Logical Nations and Logical Individual People play the long game.

Don't be Stupid. Nationally nor Individually.

Logically, it's time to hunker down and survive the storms.

This is no longer about Obama, he just shines the light of clarity on a Federal Beast that is on autopilot, drilling deeper into our lives, trying to regulate everything.
Obama just exposes the mess by his excessive use of the Beast…the Beast has been there for decades he has merely Unleashed it.
“Merely”. “Unleashed”.
Beware the Kraken!

Logic dicates.....prepare to defend against The Kraken!

If something the Feds do curtails or restrains Trucking, which operates on small margins, the cities starve and the economy collapses.
Food riots, etc. in 3-5 days in every major city. Which of course requires “emergency powers” for “the duration”.

Logical?

Who's fighting this?

Not mine, but sensibly Logical:

If God wanted us to vote, he would have given us candidates. ~ Jay Leno

The problem with political jokes is they get elected. ~ Henry Cate, VII

We hang the petty thieves and appoint the great ones to public office. ~ Aesop

If we got one-tenth of what was promised to us in these State of the Union speeches, there wouldn't be any inducement to go to heaven. ~ Will Rogers

One of the penalties of not participating in politics is that you will be governed by your inferiors. ~ Plato

Politicians are the same all over. They promise to build a bridge even where there is no river. ~ Nikita Khrushchev

When I was a boy I was told that anybody could become President; I'm beginning to believe it. ~ Clarence Darrow

Why pay money to have your family tree traced; go into politics and your opponents will do it for you. ~ Author unknown

Politicians are people who, when they see light at the end of the tunnel, go out and buy some more tunnel. ~ John Quinton

Politics is the gentle art of getting votes from the poor and campaign funds from the rich, by promising to protect each from the other. ~ Oscar Ameringer

The Democrats are the party that try to make you believe more government involvement will make you smarter, taller, richer, and remove the crabgrass on your lawn. The Republicans are the party that say government doesn't work and then, they get elected and prove it. ~ P.J. O'Rourke

I offer my opponents a bargain: if they will stop telling lies about us, I will stop telling the truth about them. ~ Adlai Stevenson, campaign speech, 1952

A politician is a fellow who will lay down your life for his country. ~ Tex Guinan

Any American who is prepared to run for president should automatically, by definition, be disqualified from ever doing so. ~ Gore Vidal

I have come to the conclusion that politics is too serious a matter to be left to the politicians. ~ Charles de Gaulle

Instead of giving a politician the keys to the city, it might be better to change the locks. ~ Doug Larson

Don't vote; it only encourages them. ~ Author unknown

There ought to be one day -- just one -- when there is open season on senators. ~ Will Rogers

 The ultimate logic is the logic is to call it quits, and have some means to do so at hand. However, certain facts come to mind. They say the brain stays active for 3-4 minutes after blood-flow ceases. I really don't want to be conscious that long , fully aware that I'm already fucking dead. Logical?

So the only answer is complete smashing of the brain, so there's no way you stay conscious. Guns, bricks, pavement from altitude, completely smashed to pulp.

Logical.
