Vive la difference. Opponents of Proposition 8 seem somewhat myopic in their failure to make an appropriate (and I should like to stress the word appropriate) differentiation between distinction and discrimination.

As an employer, if I refuse to hire a secretary or other employee for any reason other than qualification, I could be accused, and all things being equal possibly rightly so, of discrimination. If, on the other hand, I provide two toilets: one for male, the other for female employees, and label the outside of the two doors accordingly, am I being discriminatory? The answer, of course, is “yes”; but I am recognizing the different needs of the two sexes and making a distinction between them.

If we understand the purpose for the establishment of marriage to be primarily that of procreation and the establishment of a stable, protective environment for the offspring, it becomes obvious that “same sex marriage” is a contradiction in terms. It is verbal camouflage.

That the law should provide a means for two people who love each and desire to live together, to co-mingle their assets and enjoy the privileges of a legal partnership is indisputable. But it should not be called a “marriage,” neither should the rites of marriage be performed over nor conferred upon what would thus be basically a legal contractual agreement.

Offspring are not entailed in such an arrangement, thus there are no requirements for assumption of joint names for the establishment of a family tree and its concomitant hereditaments.

“13 year old Michigan teen (now 16) gets life for poisoning grandmother”

Probate Judge Margaret Noe opted to sentence Adkins as an adult. She could have placed her in a juvenile facility until age 21 and then evaluated whether prison should be appropriate, court administrator David Stanifer said.

What do you expect from a female judge? This judge “opted to sentence … as an adult? 13 years old? This is criminal insanity, pure and simple. The people of Lenawee County that allow for this kind of judiciary have a lot to answer for.

One of the first observations on the Joe Blow Report was, What Makes a Blueprint for Peace?dealing with a blog article by Dave Berman, a local blogger at:  We Do Not Consent– The blog, the book, the birth of peaceful revolution for conscientious objectors everywhere… Here, Mr. Berman’s primary concern was legitimate government, legal elections with accurate vote count and his struggle to produce or effect same. So, Joe decided to see what “We Do Not Consent” had to say lately. Interestingly, he as some pertinent comments on his latest posting. Take a look. 

Joe was pleased to see how Mr. Berman is evolving to a more realistic point of understanding. Perhaps he’ll conclude at some later date that there are more than “one” way to protest a fraudulent election, which he says is guaranteed.

Where does this kind of Crap (Attorney General Michael Mukasey) come from?

This is what grows in Southern Humboldt County, California at Ernie’s Place:  “I have never ratted on anyone, and I never intend to, having said that you will probably say that I am the problem. … I have friends that I’m sure grow minor amounts. I feel that it is okay to be friends with growers. My rule is I don’t want to know about it. If I don’t rat on people, but I don’t have to feel bad when they get busted.”

The War on Drugs is a money-maker for Ernie and  all of his self-describe amoral friends:  “The price of marijuana would drop from thousands of dollars a pound to the price of a pack of cigarettes. The money that moves to and from Humboldt county would stop. The economy would stop, and many, many innocent people would be hurt.”

The Big Lie: “I have gotten along quite nicely, and have become a fast and trusted friend to many of the growers and indeed we have a lot in common, trying to survive and all.” Garbage in, garbage out!

As you can see, there are no “innocent people” in a Democracy. Which is exactly what everyone finds out when the chickens come home to roost.

Direct action is a form of political activism which seeks immediate remedy for perceived ills, as opposed to indirect actions such as electing representatives who promise to provide remedy at some later date. Direct action can include nonviolent and violent activities, with a blurred intermediate area of attacks on properties. Nonviolent activities include strikes, workplace occupations, sit-ins, demonstrations, sabotage, vandalism and graffiti. More violent actions include revolutionary/guerrilla warfare. Direct actions are often (but not always) a form of civil disobedience and thus often violate criminal law. For example, vandalism is illegal, while demonstrations are usually not illegal in most constitutional democracies. Less confrontational forms of this definition of direct action include establishing radical social centers, and performing street theatre.

Utilizing resources within their power, direct action participants aim to either:

• obstruct another political agent or political organization from performing some practice to which the activists object; or,
• solve problems major societal institutions (businesses, governments, powerful churches or establishment unions) are not addressing.

Some direct action participants engage in “indirect actions” (voting in elections, targeted boycotts) as part of larger campaigns.

Some “form of political activism which seeks immediate remedy for perceived ills, as opposed to indirect actions such as electing representatives who promise to provide remedy at some later date” clearly has failed the test of time. Maybe it’s time to step outside the box and see what’s really going on.

As long as everyone seems to think these are the only two options everything seems to work perfectly, well except for those who merely perceive some ill.

Talk is cheap!  Words are cheap. Millions of words, volumes of unintelligible sounds, and NOTHING!

When going gets tough, the tough get going, and that’s what this blog hopes to explore: MOVING!

Blogging a moving experience.
