A De-evolution of Leadership

My Eggclectic Interests II

We are searched when we travel, they read our e-mails, tap our phones, confiscate our nail clippers invade our private lives from the bedroom to nursery, and generally treat us like the criminals they swore to protect us from.

You Don’t Know Me — And I Have a Gun.

My Eggclectic Interests II
Joes Gun

You don’t know me, or maybe you do, and just don’t know it.
I am your neighbor, doctor, clergyman, nurse or just another nameless, faceless stranger in the crowd. I have a state authorized, court issued permit to carry a concealed handgun.

No Govt. Mandated Chip Implants Needed

My Eggclectic Interests II
Foil Hat

While the idea may seem repugnant to some and just crazy paranoid to others, there are a lot of tech-crazy trail-blazers who think that an ear-bud is too cumbersome, or that if it says ‘Apple’ on it, they have to have it. . These people will be enough to push-start the market to its eventual conclusion.

These devices won’t come from the NSA or any other three-letter-agency, but from companies like Verizon, Google, Microsoft, Apple, and Amazon.

Pharmacy employees at Best-Buy and Wal-Mart will be trained to perform the (by then) simple procedure.

The “bleeding edge” people will “pre-order” their implants and then stand in line overnight, in the rain to be the first to get them.

Who Us Is, and Why We Are In Danger!

My Eggclectic Interests II
Coexist

It’s time for Bible Thumpers to put the Hellfire and Brimstone on the back burner for a while. It’s time for every-day bigots to “fake” color blindness and for gay people to stop acting like a bunch of attention starved, spoiled children. And can we please ratchet down the abortion chatter for a while? In Islam, husbands do their own abortions, with long curved blades, in the street.

I want our civilization to survive long enough to have that and other arguments, so I’ll put it aside if you will, at least until we get this fixed.

More is at stake here than the right to peacefully hate one another, our very existence is in jeopardy. Maybe we can afford the luxury of bigotry and hate sometime in the future, but right now we are all, and by all, I mean every one of us who is not them, in a fight for our lives.

A bloated, corrupt, runaway government allows, and even facilitates the process, and our first and only priority should be getting our nation back into the hands of We The People. Can we please get along with one another just long enough to get our country under control?

Only then, can we be afforded the luxury of squabbling over comparatively irrelevant differences from choice of sleeping partner to skin color and political party.

If we don’t act soon, “those of us who are not them,” will vanish forever from the face of the Earth.

It’s Not Islamophobia, It’s A Very Real Fear
