Do the Democrats have a chance?

On Sunday, November 18th, the Democrats were featured on CNN for a debate. What a mess! Before the Democratic party can even begin to compete with the Republican party, they have to do one thing that appears to be nearly impossible...Come together. They spent the majority of the debate pointing fingers at each other. I was not impressed with any on the stage. I was really surprised to see Obama refusing to answer a simple direct question. Edwards kept was the one that kept pointing fingers, chiefly at Clinton.

With all the Republican party has done to hurt the country in the past 7 years, they still have a leg up. Hey Democrats! Unite if you want a chance to win.

God, I love atheists!

Atheists are so eager to impress the rest of the universe that there is no God. Well, I actually don't have a problem with that. What I do find annoying is that when they start asking for scientific proof that God exists. We all know that hard scientific facts do not support the existence of God or another supreme being. They like to beat the rest of us over the head with it. They often remark that science does not require faith, but facts. REALLY? Read on...

The Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence, or SETI for short, searches the skies for a signal for possible extraterrestrial life. I actually think it is a good idea. There might be someone out there. So far, after spending tens of thousands of donated money of several decades, there have failed to find one civilization. It may take longer but as long as people are shelling out the dough, it's science right?

SETI operates on the assumption that just because life exists here, around a yellow star, that the universe must be teeming with live. Makes sense. Here's the think. There is absolutely NO PROOF and NO EVIDENCE that life exists elsewhere. It may, but there is no proof.

Science is making a leap of faith. SETI scientists are doing the same thing that atheists say we cannot do. Believe in something without proof is foolish, childish and, as some have said psychotic. Tell me isn't SETI doing the same thing as the believers in a supreme being?


To be honest, I do believe that there is life elsewhere in the universe. I participate in the SETI@Home project. The point of the matter is that if atheists can beat Christians over the head with their beliefs, they should be on SETI, as well. Yeah, give us a break!

Not so hard

It isn't taking long to get to used to the Adderal. I am already having fewer palpitations. I'm glad its not continuing. It makes me feel that I need to stop taking them.

Now, I just have to start worrying about drug tests. Adderal shows up a drug test as amphetamines. It is a pain the ass to gather medical documentation every time I take a piss test. It ... pisses me off! LOL!

The Medicated Man

Man, I've had to start taking my ADHD meds again. I started yesterday. WOW! I'm antsy and I'm having bouts of palpatations. I know that it will pass in time, but it can make you worry. When you are my age and your heart goes nuts, you notice.

Cooling off

I certainly hope that every one is getting the plants in and cutting their roses back. Where I live, its going to be 26 degrees. I know that isn't cold for people who live in North Dakota, but it is here! LOL!

If you've not covered or closed your foundation vents you need to do that too. The utilities are going to be high enough as it is without having to spend extra needlessly.

Keep warm!

Taking Tests

I forget how much I hate taking tests until I have to take one. The most annoying kind of test are those you have to take as part of internet pre-employment. You know the ones I am talking about; have you ever stolen anything, how many days of work did you miss last year or my favorite, would you turn in a fellow employee who was stealing. The answers are so obvious...no, none and yes. The only thing these tests do is keep the good workers out because they misunderstood a question. I frequently have to ask my wife if I should answer a question 'yes' or 'no.' They are that hard to figure out.

If you are looking for a new job, good luck with the tests.

Blood sucking

There has been much tv air time spent on vampires the last couple of days. One thing that bothers me is that some people feel they are vampires and drink human blood. I have an issue with that. Drinking blood from another person, even is offered, should be illegal and prosecuted. IF not, these folks should be locked up with the key hidden deeply in a vat of garlic. These folks are crazy! I mean crazy with no excuse of toleration.

Our society tolerates too much. Criminal behavior should not be tolerated AT ALL. Anti-social behavior should not be tolerated. Unfortunately, I don't see a way around it. There is always some 'bleeding heart' (hehehe) that allows this type of activity to continue.
