Born that way

 About 60 percent of all the wealth in America today is inherited, according to estimates by economist Thomas Piketty and his colleagues. That’s because, under U.S. tax law – which is itself largely a product of lobbying by the wealthy – the capital gains of one generation are wiped out when those assets are transferred to the next, and the estate tax is so tiny that fewer than 0.2 percent of estates were subject to it last year.

If unearned income were treated the same as earned income under the tax code, America’s non-working rich wouldn’t be billionaires. And if capital gains weren’t eliminated at death, many heirs wouldn’t be, either.

Lucky sperm club is not attainable in this life.  

Better luck next time.

Or we could tax the wealthy and actually enforce anti-monopoly laws, inside trading laws and stop letting the wealthy buy politicians.

America seems pretty dumb.

Pretty dumb
Pretty dumb
Pretty dumb
Pre-tee dumb

We could be a really cool society

A healthy civilization
But bullshit is so fertile
and anger feels so good

I thought love conquered all
The natural world doesn't play those rules
and human animals are just as beautiful and brutal

Here's to someday using these human brains of ours

Assault crimes won't sway Republicans' laser focus on criminalizing health care

 An "illegal" raped a little girl.  A ten year old child who had to drive to another state to get an abortion.

A politician focuses on criminalizing the doctor instead of the rapist.  The doctor that helped the traumatized little girl.

Republicans care more about usurping health care than horrid crimes by their boogeyman illegals!
The ones they told us will rape us!  Now, this particular one did and I'm trying to make a point here.  However, if I have to type out that I'm trying to make a point, I'm not doing a very good job at it.
I don't like using the word illegals for people and I don't think people that get into the country without paperwork are rapists.

The hypocrisy of this ilk is mind rattling.

Justice is an agreement neither to harm nor be harmed

Epicurus promoted an innovative theory of justice as a social contract. Justice, Epicurus said, is an agreement neither to harm nor be harmed, and we need to have such a contract in order to enjoy fully the benefits of living together in a well-ordered society. Laws and punishments are needed to keep misguided fools in line who would otherwise break the contract. But the wise person sees the usefulness of justice, and because of his limited desires, he has no need to engage in the conduct prohibited by the laws in any case. Laws that are useful for promoting happiness are just, but those that are not useful are not just.

 First cicada song!  Lalalalaaa!

 

Hello

I'm now an outlaw.

The laws in my country do not apply to me.

Guns have more rights than a woman.

Fuck you scrotus

A supreme court judge gets to rule the land after his traitor wife tried to enact a coup
Both deny the will of the people

Fuck you right wing republican assholes 
Just for being your fake ass political theater punk selves

And Fuck you democrats for not expanding the court and staying course and acting like you have to be above all the right wing bullshit. 
You can't be smarter than these idiots' game?

Fail

I guess I better ask daddy gun if I can get my pap smear

Oldest profession,
Oldest surgery

Don't want one?
Don't get one

Avenge your own soul

Only a self righteous, psychotic ass would 

perpetuate violence in a time of violence 

RINO/Rhino hunting is wrong on all accounts 

Eric Greitens needs more time away from the public eye

Maybe I should consider running for an office 

And I just want to post on Paracelsus. 

I’m wrong too

Paracelsus

 The tria prima also defined the human identity. Salt represented the body; mercury represented the spirit (imagination, moral judgment, and the higher mental faculties); sulphur represented the soul (the emotions and desires).

alright fuckfaces

Until we can get a hold of the gun situations, we will post trained soldiers with AR-15s at the exits and entrances guarding schools, grocery stores, concerts, dance clubs, movie theaters, graduation parties, [insert new mass shooting location here:parade, national park] and other places where people gather.

The guards must be psychologically sound checked. 

We will be Beirut. 

Fuck you all.

last of the baby days

 Happy day to you, strawberry moon--lucky number 7

What are we doing?

Nothing. 

We will do nothing.

There will be a weapons of war sale 

and everyone will get an AR-15 for rock bottom prices.  

Because we are at rock bottom.  

Instead of rising up from the murderous ruins, 

we will drill down into the rock 

and increase the havoc.

NRA scrambling after the Columbine Mass Killings

How do we set a sympathetic tone while not taking liability as we wait out the next news cycle?

Meanwhile, more babies gone, more mass murders, more lies about false flags, egregious accusations that grieving parents have nothing to grieve. 

Enrage and hopelessness

If there is a Class Action suit against the Gun Lobby and the Congress people they bought, 

I want to sign on.

What New Zealand is doing:

I don't think we need weapons of war in civilian hands, but since it is hard enough to get a fucking background check, I propose that those who want to shoot an AR-15 be allowed to join a shooting range membership.  The shooting range is the only place these weapons will be discharged and the only place these weapons will be stored.  The shooting range will be responsible for the thoughtful, careful and secure storage of the owners guns.  Weapons of war should not be stored within neighborhoods, nor houses, nor within a certain distance from schools.  In an ideal world, the members of the shooting range will have a background check and a psychological review before being allowed in the club.

Meanwhile...how many weapons of war are floating around unsafely in the hands of unstable people whose anguished backwards views are increasingly incubated by unchecked social media platforms? 

Kill two birds with one stone, to save the murder.

Just wait until this passes and continue on and also, nice choice of words fuckface:

“I don’t know what the silver bullet is,” Sen. Mike Braun (R-Ind.) said. “I think that it is incumbent on all of us to be open-minded and to see what makes sense.”

So, maybe a teenager carrying two weapons of war and murdering 30 babies?  Is that the fucking silver bullet you craven fuckless wonder?  How many more mass deaths?

What fucking “makes sense”?  What is “open-minded” to you?
 91% of US citizens want sane gun control laws.  91%!  We aren’t asking to take away all guns.  We are asking to get weapons of war off the streets.  We can’t let this pass with thoughts and prayers and moments of silence.

philosophy of 40

 I guess when you're 40 you have to start to learn how to work the body you occupy.  You take everything for granted until then...if you're lucky.  I guess some will have to learn much earlier, but I think the regular experience for humans is around 40.  It all seems to catch up to you at this time.  

All the stresses and anxieties come to a head.  You are no longer free from the ignorance of your mortality. Again, if you are lucky, like me, all the aches and pains are new, unknown and terrifying.  The accumulation of your neurosis meets a threshold and the body can no longer cope.  You are in a phase of tearing down your personality, if you're lucky, in order to shed the derangement of your psychosis.

a decade with you (Neon 10)

What I like about you
your exhilaration for most things
I just know what will set you flying
and it brings more excitement to life
to see things anew
We've been rambling along these ten years with you
I couldn't have sculpted a more perfect life
thoughts of you are unbridled energy
a wild, beautiful spirit
sometimes my twin
sometimes your dad's
I can trust your observations
unless you are up for teasing
your big heart still surprises me
and makes me so proud
I'm ready to support you through the next decade
I love you bright sunny boy

privilege for granted

When you are upset with not having the world

Other people are happy to have a grocery store.

It’s Wednesday

"We didn't have much, and you took what was left"

 "Tops market was a place of community, a safe space for us to meet, to talk, to be together," [Phylicia Dove] told CNN. "There's no one here who hasn't visited this Tops. It was ours. Even if it wasn't the best, it was ours, and now our safe space has been infiltrated and taken from us and that is something we are mourning."

from this CNN article

All the white people, cis gendered males bemoaning the fake restriction on their rights don't even know what it's like.  They can't even fathom being hunted for the skin they were born with, much less living in a food desert.  The entitlement of these people is bewildering.  

Still.
Nothing's changed
You're still on top

Still
Born lucky, white and free
Male is still the best gender to be

Still happening, still getting your way
"Replacement" isn't going to happen in this day

Whiny murderous ass punks won't pay
It's in the news day after day
Guns will never go away
After the babies, it was here to stay

We will suffer and wallow in your hatred forever
as we regress every day in the idiot endeavor

Today I see no hope
Today I don't want to cope
Today I'm at the end of my rope

Black and brown people still get nothing
and we will take that too

Don't know how to rise above this shame
Do I play their game to infiltrate and spy
To try to change white supremacist minds
Should I scream all day
at every white person and say
We need to protect our people of color
Our human sisters and brothers

I'm disgusted by the lies
Disgusted by the hate
Disgusted by the stupidity
Disgusted by the greed
Disgusted by the guns

STILL

"[W]hen Tops opened in 2003[!], life completely changed when this community got the grocery store they'd been dreaming about, and fighting for, for more than a decade[!]."  -same CNN article

A GROCERY STORE MOTHERFUCKERS!!!!!!!  
WRAP YOUR GODDAMN IDIOT ADDLED BRAIN AROUND THAT!

You fucking white supremacist assholes disgust me.
Take some psychedelic mushrooms you fucks.
