But first.
Look at this puppy.
And now. Politics.
Governor of Wisconsin:
Jim Doyle. Fuuuuuuck you. Mark Green thinks it would be a good idea to let me legally carry around weapons and I think so too. The people they're worried about having weapons already do it anyway. And if some asshole wants to point a gun at me I want to be able to do something about it without ending up with jail time or something else. Then again I suppose I already do it anyway too. Just not with firearms. The cops took my anti-highjacking stick when I had to call them to save somebodys life. Although if they would have died it would have been because of their own stupidity. I should find out where I put my homemade mace with the 8 inch spikes in it. Its pretty scary looking.
The Death Penalty:
Im not sure how much I care about this considering I dont ever plan on ending up on death row. I guess Ive known people who are more likely to than I am. But more fucked up things have happend. What if I ended up innocent and sentenced to death? Or someone Im close to? Which would be the worse fate? Being killed or spending the rest of your life in prison?
Then theres the whole thing about our tax dollars paying for criminals spending life in prison with no chance of ever being let out. Yes, they're paying for their crimes. But their life is pretty much over anyway and all they're doing is taking up space. Especially with the ones who stalk, beat, rape and kill little children, women walking alone at night or whoever their victim of choice might be. Where was it where the prison was so fucking full they had to build a new one? California?
I guess this is a tough one. Theres reasons to go both ways. Especially when you dont really trust the government. Who knows whats really going on in there.
Gay Marriage Ban:
This one is pretty simple. If they feel they need to get married to be happy then I say go for it. But as long as you're with the person you want to be with what does it matter how your relationship is seen by the law. I guess theres more to it than that. Insurence and blah blah blah. The idea of marriage and that kind of commitment is nice to. Some people say they dont want to get married or be owned by anyone else. But I think if you're going to get married it should be seen that way. It should be more of an equal partnership. And for the right reasons too. So many people rush into that crap and end up with a broken family. Or in a horrible pointless marriage. But now Im getting off topic.
Giving the school district an ass load of money for remodeling:
No. Fuck no. They dont need money for that. They're always complaining about money. They cut important school programs because they cant afford to run them, they desperatly need new school supplies and updated leanring materials.... Using the same books used in 1990 in 2006 just isnt working....theres a huge list of things they need money for and they want to remodel? Then theres the other issues of the loan refinancing and crap. My dad works for the school district. These people are fucking ridiculous sometimes. I guess the property taxes raise wouldnt come out of my pocket. But it would effect my parents.
What else is there? Attorney General? Dont get me started. The War/Impeachment thing. I dont really agree with a lot of it but I also think it would be a bad idea to just pull out and not finish what a lot of young people are dying for. If everything we're supposedly working for ends up completely undone then it would all be for nothing. Im just happy my friend Jeff is out of there now. Or will be pretty soon. He said he would be back in this country around the 9th. And an impeachment investigation on Bush/Cheney. For one I wouldnt trust the government to investigate itself. And do you know how long that would go on for? Its almost 2007. It wont be long before another presidential election is up. It seems somewhat pointless. But I guess I wouldnt mind them giving it a shot. Who knows what it could bring up.
