I will now commence angering a large percentage of the USA population.
Good.
I created a term a few years ago to describe the ignorant dog owners who defend vicious mutts and often appear to place a dog’s life as above that of a human life.
Dog People
Not everybody who has a dog falls into that category. On the Web I spot those, to me, mentally ill people defending dogs that have harmed or killed humans.
“It’s the owner” I read frequently.
Pit bulls and mixed-breeds with pit bull in them sure seem to be responsible for many attacks.
There are many Web sites with information, data and statistics about dog attacks.
If interested… start searching!!!
I am here to give my opinions about Dog People.
The reason for my doing this is because of yet another news story about yet another human killed by dogs and the report says that yet again pit bulls were involved.
Motion to Amend the US Constitution ~ Sign the Petition
We, the People of the United States of America, reject the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling in Citizens United, and move to amend our Constitution to firmly establish that money is not speech, and that human beings, not corporations, are persons entitled to constitutional rights.
A big THANKS to all the folks attempting to curtail the ever-growing power of the corporate entity.
I believe that in many ways corporations have become a 4th part of the federal government.
Of course, small corporations more akin to a sole proprietorship are not nearly as destructive to We, the People as those monolithic monsters that are enslaving the masses of common folks.
However, smaller corporations can and do wield ample power at state and/or local levels.
Keep up your efforts, folks.
We, the People have to overcome the life-long indoctrination all of us are immersed within.
We are inundated with constant propaganda and the sources tend to originate with corporate USA or those who have associated themselves with immense wealth and power.
Sadly, I fear that a large percentage of politicians at all levels of governments; federal, state and local, have become cohorts, minions and lackeys of their corporate masters.

Please fight those enslaving We, the People.
Assist the Move to Amend folks in any way you can!!!
As always, this entry is the same as all other entries and is merely the opinion of a Disgruntled Old Coot.
My frame of reference is based upon an enormous amount of non-fiction reading along with decades of life experience within the working-poor socio-economic class.
Hey MOUTH… (MOUTH is my label for that Herman Cain ex-candidate for the 2012 presidential election) have you ever considered for a moment the arduous efforts of the folks working the fields that provided the tomatoes for the processors where blue-collar folks labored to create the products needed for your low-paid laborers to place a finished pizza into the hands of the consumer?
How about the truck drivers facing the hazards on the road of delivering the products from the vine to the processor to the warehouse and eventually to your retail outlets?
I am likely correct when I declare that the vast majority of those folks doing their task allowing you to become wealthy are FAR from your wealth level.
So, they have only themselves to blame for being cogs in a huge machine you manipulated to your own benefit.
That’s okay… that is how our economic system works.
Just never enter the agricultural fields and spew your tripe at the vatos laboring there… well… maybe you should!!!! You might learn about an alternate reality Mr. MOUTH.
Okay… the above was written after what is written below. Wandering the Web I ran into an older news story when the media grabbed the MOUTH’S spewing and made it easily available to the public.
I was angered then and remain so but I am glad the MOUTH spoke since it shows an attitude I believe many of the USA wealthy folks hold… looking down on the “commoners” they view as below them.
I suppose that many at the heights of the socio-economic hierarchy tend to forget it takes a team to run a modern, industrialized country.
Below is the message board comment I wrote earlier today that led to this blog post.
Remember, folks, that my experience and education informs me that many but not all of those atop the socio-economic hierarchy view the masses of common folks as losers… not as deserving as the wonderful better class of super-humans lording over us.

Where would that BIG-talking “man” be without the arduous efforts of many low-paid workers who likely never received ANY benefits other than a meager wage?
How about the many folks who view ordering a take-out pizza as a special treat and who had to give up something to get that treat… a treat that made BIG MOUTH wealthy?
How about the person serving a military career who will always be far from wealthy protecting that BIG MOUTH so he can safely use others to garner that wealth?
I can only guess but as far as the basic skills needed to operate a pizza firm and accumulate large amounts of wealth I declare that there are surely many MILLIONS of people iside the USA who could have performed the functions of MOUTH.
I wonder if MOUTH sings loud and proud at a church where he will likely proclaim his adoration for the Jesus fellow of long ago.
Whether viewed as a deity or just an enlightened human I believe Jesus would have not viewed MOUTH in the best light but would forgive MOUTH for his likely viewing himself as better than common folks just because he amasses legal tender for public and private debts.
“Iowa graduated 88 percent of students, barely besting Wisconsin, at 87 percent. A pair of western states — Nevada, 62 percent, and New Mexico, 63 percent — graduated the lowest percentage of students.”
“…students with special needs, low incomes and those who are non-native English speakers perform at lower academic levels than others in the state.”
Is it a lack of knowledge regarding reality or is political correctness yet again rearing that proverbial ugly head?
Living for decades in California immersed within the several sub-cultures brought north across the southern border I repeatedly witnessed the general attitudes towards education among that hugecohort.
For the well-brainwashed naysayers who will likely grimace with disgust at my opinion based upon many decades of direct observation and interaction with the folks I am referring to I hereby proclaim my hope that your kids or grand-kids or whatever are immersed within the cultures and those possessing those cultural norms that compel me to write this blog entry.
Generally… there are always exceptions, individuals who do not behave in the manner that created my opinion of…
Iowa has a successful educational system NOT because some bureaucrat proclaims the wonder of Iowa’s educational system. NO!!!!
Iowa’s success is due to the general culture the majority of the students were raised within; mainly from northwest Europe. Skin color makes no difference. A purple person raised in the education-embracing culture within Iowa would likely do well in school.
Do you want to make Iowa’s success rate even higher?
Data and statistics along with my observations of California students possessing one of the cultures originating in Japan, China or Korea prove that students with that background have a tendency to excel in whatever educational system they are involved with.
The northwest European culture embraces education unlike those cultures from the south of the USA but those norther “oriental” cultures surpass the general culture present in Iowa students.
The politically correct mob constantly declaring that “diversity is our strength” should shout with joy as the ever-growing numbers of culture bearers from the south spread across the USA and assist in lowering the educational success of Iowa… eventually making Iowa more akin to New Mexico and Nevada.
Iowa’s education success is ample evidence to some deluded, demented buffoons that the state is not diverse enough.
If only the immense growth of those from the south was, instead, composed of what I consider to be the superior culture originating in China, Japan and Korea.
But… my opinion in today’s emotion-before-logic PC climate will be labeled by many as… gasp; racist, xenophobic and bigoted.
Too bad.
Feel free to label me as a “culturist” since I believe that is the most appropriate label/term to place upon me.
Do you obtain pleasure in baffling others? It is easy to do when living within a society aswarm with ill-educated idiots well-brainwashed by the MANY propaganda systems used by the USA elite ruling class to maintain a status quo so useful to them and harmful in many ways to the masses of bleating citizen-sheep.
Yes… the minority, very small minority of free-thinking folks who have cast off part of that life-long indoctrination and, even better, have attained a mental state minimizing the entrance of more propaganda are surround by a HUGE HERD of
BUFFOONS
For a cheap thrill visit a Web site created by a media outlet. There are many sites created by local media such as a small-town or city newspaper, radio, or TV station.
Waiting for the Earth to spin a little more so that the uncountable photons making that 8 to 9 minute voyage from the sun to here smile upon the shanty atop the Ozark Plateau.
The local weather guessers are telling of storms this afternoon.
Our guessers are better than nothing but I am unimpressed with both their accuracy rates and their abilities to convey information to the TV viewer.
But, this IS a cultural backwater with a relatively small population and advertising income is much less than those BIG city TV stations receive so there is less money to pay hired help so the adage of you get what you pay for applies.
Oh goody… another TV ad for a state-level putrid politician begging for us to not vote… to not vote for some babbling buffoon so I suppose that means we should vote for the babbling buffoon who wants the political position being contested.
We do need a “none of the above” option when voting time comes around.
