"Cultural fascists are also raving hypocrites"

"As usual, you are using a horrific event,

and the victims of that horror, as your excuse..."

"You demand it be banned from society because you insist

society accept your definition of what it represents."

Here's part of a reader comment from the Article Linked

(comment author: JohnStevens, in reply to some Richard dude)

"No matter what, you cannot justifie the confederate flag, it stands for the Klan, always has always will."

No it doesn't.  Symbols have no meaning.  Meaning is what we bring to symbols, they don't "stand" for anything. So there is no need to justify anything.  By the First Amendment, everyone has a right to display the symbols that they wish, and nobody has a right to tell them what that symbol means. If you want to find out what a symbol means to someone, ASK THEM, instead of trying to force your meaning on them.

More from the Article...

"We will no longer sell that horrible thing! declare Apple, Sears, eBay, Amazon, and the rest about the Confederate flag. What frauds. Up until last week none had a problem in the world with that flag.  The racially-sensitive folks at Amazon still sell Nazi and apartheid memorabilia."

"You will use this – you know you will – to tar any conservative you can tie to the evil you’ve invented. You’ll declare that person a racist if he doesn’t publicly agree with you, won’t you?"

"What’s next? How long will it take for you to demand that the American flag be removed? It’s a natural progression."

"What about the Cross? You think it’s a symbol of religious oppression. The KKK solemnly sets it ablaze in their ceremonies. You’ll want that banned, too. In fact President Obama has already demanded it be covered if he speaks in front of one."

"Tear down your own damn flags."

How do you feel about this? :/

Happy Canada Day!

 

Cheers ;-)

Good Morning!! :)

One step at a time, things are moving forward.

My daughter has graduated and moving on to the next phase of her life. We still have lots to do, prepping her for University, but things are on schedule :-)

Now on my end, my little woodlot is feeling more and more like home. I'm getting fairly organized for getting out there and doing some work. Still at the clearing stage, but I got a few surprises in place ;-)

I would like to focus more attention on my blog. I've been neglecting it and I don't like that :( I'm not the same as I was when I first started, but I'm still me... perhaps a little more grounded and a lot more independent. So let's where this road takes us... ;-)

Happy Father's Day!!

...To all the daddys out there

who put their children first <3

Countdown Time...

Just a few days to go.

Can't believe my little girl is about to graduate.

Valedictorian to boot!!

I am one proud mama :D

I Love Puzzles...

The "picture" is becoming clearer ;-)

I've been doing research this past week.

Lots and lots of thinking, sketching and calculating.

I'm working to figure out how best to utilize my little woodlot,

in a timely manner, to shape the life I want.

What I know for sure:

My resources are limited at the moment.

I wanna use my skills to earn income, on my terms.

Practical, useful and realistic is way more appealing then bling.

Day by day, things are taking shape :-)

~ I will share more on the topic, as things progress ~

Little update in the comments ;-)

"Get The Fuck Outta The House" Weather!!

Had to stop in for a Howdy. Hope y'all enjoying your weekend ;-)

Happy Mother's Day!!

Love you Mom ;-)

Good Morning :)

A Notable Milestone

A few days ago, I got this little screen cap

off my blogger stats. That's a lot of Howdy Ma'ams! :D

Although, I think 'bout half of those

came from Ray, Bob and Billf... ;-)

Regular or not, thanks to everyone

who put in their "two cents worth" :-)

;-)

That Pussy's an Ass :P

Your cat may not always be plotting to kill you,

oh but he is plotting...

Good Morning!

I really like those colors :-)

Anyone know what they got growing there?

Friday Night Reds ~ Into the Woods!

Since I've been spending more and more time out there lately,

I thought these pretty redheads were a good fit, eh ;-)

Now it is ;)

It's been a long week. I never made it out to "Play" as my last post suggested. Had some car issues on the way out, which thankfully turned out to be very minor. But even minor things like a fucking loose connector can leave you stranded for a while. Especially when the "error messages" you get are random and unrelated ~shaking head~ Gotta love GM :/

Dare I say, conspiracy for extra dealership traffic?... :P

Anyways... Back in running order. Tools/toys are loaded up and ready for the next ride out, hopefully tomorrow.

And in the meantime, since it is Friday... How 'bout some Reds ;-)

Check back in a few, and have an awesome Friday!

It's Nice Out ~ I'm Going to Play!

Laters.... ;-)

Irish ~ The Younger Years ;)

Canadian Nectar?

Finally Done!

Tax Time... Ain't it fun... :/

Gotta love phone tag with "foreign" people???

Yippee!! At one point, I was on a chat thingy for the program I was using, attempting to work through a software glitch. I waited over an hours while the following four lines alternated about one per minute....

One of our Customer Specialists will be right with you.

All agents are currently busy. Please stand by.

An agent will be with you in a moment. Thank you for your patience.

The next available Agent will be with you in a moment.

Needless to say, the screen was full of shit :P

Then I get the message:

Onisokonikumen S: How may I assist you?

Oh great, I thought, and proceeded to write out my issue.

Then he answers:

Thank you for your patience. It will be another moment.

Several minutes later, he comes back with... 

Looking into it. 

Then I get this fucking message:

Thank you for contacting us. You may now close this window.

Your session has ended.

Like seriously!?

What kind of fucking customer service is that??

After more bullshit, I finally got to the nitty-gritty of it.

And I have to say it was really easy, compared to the previous years.

Looking at a bigger picture here, if feels so weird to do these "simple" things, not thinking about how it could affect EVERYONE else. To live just for me, and my daughter of course as she is part of me. I just can't remember ever having this feeling.

And I'm loving it more and more everyday :-)

No Worries....

I didn't get lost out there O_o

Just juggling work and them damn taxes :/

Please "bear" with me...

 And Stay tuned for our regularly scheduled programming ;-)
