Would someone please take the mirrors away from the democrats. They hold it up to themselves and proceed to tell us what they see, liar, bigot, homophobe, etcetra and then they look up and add republicans to their statements. The brain dead media dutifully regurgitates the drivel and posts their editorial comments so that the few useful idiots tuned in can get their talking points and all is well in the funny farm. Big government thinks it is communicating to the masses and has consensus with each returning echo from the chambers called Washington DC, academia, main stream media, and the open mouths of the world's leadership.
The self-anointed political elite complain about the unwashed and stinky visitors being allowed into the so called people's house as they pilot their tax payer purchased private jets over fly-over country.
The problem with looking into a mirror is that you can only see yourself and that what is behind you. This country's elected so called leaders have been looking into mirrors far to long and all they think they see is a populous that has had its hand out and its attention on the wrong things. I seriously doubt that this country can be saved from its economically spoiled and arrested development situation. It is hard to imagine what could be next. Even is there is an economic meltdown there is no place left to start over. We are stuck in the morass and there is no escaping it. We will adapt to the new circumstances but man's nature will not change and the circumstances will only become more dire. The only glimmer of hope is technology. However, Is it possible that our inabilities can be overcome by technology and not have it perverted by man's nature as well.

Awards
After a week of never ending "he said she" said by the less than intelligent mass media their minds can now shift to the awards ceremonies where the self-gratualtory tendencies can take on a full bloom. The competition will be keen. There was so much made of so little it will be hard to separate the wheat from the chaff an choose the most innate from the most inept.
It is heart wrenching to consider what the innocent victims will have to suffer for the rest of their lives because of the callous actions and wanton destruction of the two deeply psychologically disturbed individuals but the media needs to recognize that it is their grand standing and over the top theatrics which encourages this very thing.
Thousand of people are dieing everyday in this world. Many by accident but too many by the heinous acts of deranged individuals and unfeeling gangs and thugs. They don't need to be given a stage to pander to. Perhaps the most irritating development is the selective amnesia to ignore the stories not to the media's liking and the conscious decision to hyper inflate the stories that are to their liking. The most disgusting is obvious efforts to follow or concoct a story that may implicate their chosen despised groups. The most intreguing is when the anticipated story line faulters and the facts don't corroborate their conclusions. The most despicable is the biased and prejudices reports which vilify the medias adopted whipping boy and make excuses for or obfuscates the incriminating evidence of their chosen protagonists. Aw-well on with the show. News never stops and there will always be another story to take the stupid public's mind off of the mistakes of a report two.
The count down can begin for "The award goes to"

Brain Dead
Yesterday during the reporting of the Boston Marathon bombing incident a female reporter told us that Obama has been informed and he was now telling everyone what to do. I thought to myself, my world is safe now! Obama is handling it.
What a pile of crap that is. For her to even insinuate that the POTUS is and integral part to the response or any of the investigations suggests that she is a brain dead product of our educational institutions. The Boston Police and every other enforcement agency in the country had better not wait to receive orders from the President. What a joke this country has turned into.
The so-called news organizations go into hyperventilate and regurgitates the same news and video clips incessantly. As soon as the news has been reported and there really isn't anything substantially new or newsworthy they start to interview their own reporters and pundits pontificating and blustering about what they don't know.
w
Next the politicians will elbow their way to the front of the photo-op line and blowviate their indignation's and resolve too apprehend and bring to justice the perpetrators of this dastardly deed and that they already have new legislation written and ready for the president's signature to outlaw bombs being detonated at any public sporting events in Boston near or around the finish line.
The liberal class will bemoan the fact that gun powder or explosives were ever invented and that if America would just mind its own business and reduce its consumption and waste of everything then the repressed masses would not have to resort to killing us to get our attention.
Mean while the crazies, the radicals, and the opportunists are planning the next event and Homeland security will catalog yet another thing they did not plan for.""
Update : The new legislation will attempt to ban pressure cookers.

Letter to Congressman
I can't believe that I saw you standing behind McConnell and his weeny proposal. What on earth are you people doing. It's past time to get the budget under control. Reduce the spending, cut programs, and get the government out of the pockets and business of the American people. Free up private enterprise to employ the unemployed, get government out of the entitlement business and the redistribution of wealth scam.
Stop the waste and fraud of government. Stop the mindless giving away of borrowed money to unfriendly nations, the lining of banker's pockets, and the absurd idea that Bernanke has a brain in his head.
Obama is a liar and will not act in the best interest of the majority of the people in this country. When are you gong to figure this out. Do your job and quit trying to cover you butts. You find yourself in this mess because no one in government has acted responsibly for too many years.

Dumb and Dummer
There was a report by some scientist that the human species is getting dumber. I have know that for years. It doesn't take a scientist to figure out that because the procreation of the species is no longer based on survival of the fittest that the stupid gene will not be selected out but expand exponentially. The government is protecting us from ourselves and medical science is preserving life indiscriminately. The invalid, the ignorant, and the even the stupid are allowed to pass their genes on with no concern about what the future holds. Education is being dumbed down, government's nanny roles is expanding, and society is accommodating the lowest common denominator.
There was a PBS program called the ascent of man a long time ago. It hypothesized that man evolved and became smarter. When did it transition into the descent of Man. Was it right after the great thinkers and scientist on whose shoulder our so called and self-proclaimed smart people stand. Was it just recently that the scale tipped in the stupid direction and is demonstrable today. Surely all of the magnificent inventions and scientific developments point to a brighter future where our lives are enriched as never before. Where we no longer need to calculate anything, remember anything, or solve anything not because we don't need to but because we can't. Obviously the descent of man is coincidental with the ascent of the machine.
The printing press made it unnecessary for us to remember, the wheel made in unnecessary for us to labor, the internal combustion engine made it unnecessary for use to run, walk, or even move, and the computer makes it unnecessary for us to do anything but amuse ourselves. I hear tell of nanobots that will circulate within our blood stream making even that unnecessary. I guess it is good thing that the stupid gene is being pass on at an exponential rate, that way our kid's kids won't mind or even care.
What's really depressing is that I hear the supposedly smart people pretending that the knowledge our children are learning today is somehow commensurate with or presumably even greater than that of our ancestors. I worry when I hear them emphasis something as if it was profound when in fact it is much about nothing or the thick of thin things. Then I hear the supposedly smarter people extolling the evils of disparity and the crimes of inequality and the need to lower our expectations and retard our systems and social orders so that even the dumbest of the dumb don't feel left out.
The scientist is right and I couldn't agree more.

NPR
I listen to NPR to get a glimpse into the liberal mind. I can't stand liberal talk radio or TV because they only deal in hyperbole and sanctimonious narcissism. What I glean from the less radical mindset of the NPR progressive is that they deal in faulty reasoning as a method of deriving their point of view and then imposing it upon everyone else but themselves.
During an interview of Senate Majority Whip Dick Durban, he suggested that just because the pro-gun lobby was against more laws on the basis that the existing laws don't stop gun violence was, somehow, akin to advocating that just because people speed, in violation of existing speed limits, the speed limits should be eliminated. That is a faulty comparison. What should have been the comparison is that the pro-gun lobby is against the progressive notion that by adding more speed signs between the existing signs and making them bigger or brighter is the solution to people speeding.
The interviewer Scott Simons brought up the pro-gun question, as if by doing so it legitimized the interview making it some how seemed balanced. When in fact it served only as a spring board for Durban to make his faulty comparison. The was no critical evaluation by Scott or any follow up to remedy the faulty reasoning.
Solutions are not found by deceiving ourselves or pretending to treat the symptoms of the problem as the problem. Gun violence is not the problem it is the symptom. The problem needs to be clearly articulated before a solution can be honestly discussed. Laws that prohibit symptoms are never going to be effective and more laws that refine the prohibitions are just as useless as the original laws.
It is understandable that the problem is very complex. It is understandable that the solution is not going to be easy or quick. It is not understandable why the liberal establishment assumes that their position to eradicate all guns is the best solution to a violent human nature which simply adopts the best means of killing another human or themselves. It is not understandable why the progressive mentality is to consider people as not being able to govern themselves but that a faceless bureaucracy made of the people can be led with the support, supposedly, of the smartest and wisest people of the time which, fortunately for us stupid people, includes them.
What is not understandable is that the progressive, the liberal whatever they want to call themselves rejects the real solution which is for our society to subscribe to and live by a set of values and morals that have come about through the human endeavor, developed by trial and error, pain and suffering, and is a product of the best of humanity, the brightest of minds simply because it is labeled religious and mostly because it requires them to behave like a rational, compassionate, and selfless individuals.
The reason it became a religion is because that was perceived by our progenitors to be a reasonable way to communicate, gradually codify, eventually propagate addendum, educate the masses, and extend the value of life's lessons beyond the individual's lifetime. The development of religion offered the greatest hope that future generations would benefit from the personal sacrifices and tragedies suffered by the proceeding generations and endure through each.
It is unfortunate that the selfishness of few can destroy the hopes and dreams of the many because the selfish are not willing to accept the wisdom of the past. That the lust for power by the few can devastate the freedom that was available to all because the lustful are willing to sacrifice others for their gains. It is unfortunate that the deceit of one leads to the ignorance of others, that a lie is so easy to tell and so hard to distinguish and refute, and that a willingness by too many to not question reason or rationale can lead to the downfall of a society.

North and South
The south facing slopes of the Owl Creek Mountains
The North Facing slopes of the Owl Creek Mountains
The ridge line is same for both slopes. How can one slope be eroded so much and other hardly. Less than 10 miles separates the two slopes. If anything the big horn basin to the north is wetter than the windriver basin on the opposit side.
