Welcome to My Blog

In the marketplace of ideas that is the internet, I am simply another merchant trying to peddle my wares. I could give you my credentials but in cyberspace credentials are really not important, are they? Admittedly, I am not really a misanthrope, though I do have a lot of contempt for humanity in general. But, I cannot lie and say I feel nothing for humans, because deep down I am pulling for the entire species to succeed; to do the right thing; to evolve. I suppose it is the constant disappointment that has led me to post my thoughts, opinions, feelings, and sociological theories. I invite your comments, arguments, and personal experiences...

Why Do I Hate Humans

I was led to believe that schools were the sacred environments, like protective wombs for students. In truth, they should be. Children, vulnerable human beings, go to school to become educated -- whatever that may mean. But, schools are horrible, horrible places. I just read about some girl in California (of course) who was assaulted and raped after prom for over 2 1/2 hours...read that again: 2 1/2 hours. Are you kidding me? Three guys supposedly were the assailants, but 15 people sat there and watched the whole thing without doing anything about it...as if it was porn on their computer. Say what you will about the ultra-white, middle-upper class school I went to in Michigan; complain about the lack of diversity and the class boundaries between my high school and the other cities high school; complain about whatever you want. This shit never happened in my school, and ironically enough, it is unlikely to happen. It always happens in California, or some other big, crazy urban environment. (Incidentally, small, suburban schools give way to armed students killing kids). I am all for due process in the courts, but some crimes seem heinous; that there will be defense attorneys lining up to defend these kids and some liberal watchdog groups saying the 15 year old kids involved didn't know any better makes me hate people even more. Let's just go back to the old days for cases like this: throw them in a lake with a stone tied to their legs; if they float, then they are innocent, if they sink...oh well. Think about this: if that was your daughter, or friend's daughter, or someone you knew well...how would you feel? I say we castrate these people publicly. While we are at it, I have a solution to cleaning up and fixing the LA schools: it is called the scorched Earth method. Let's go, round up all gangs -- Mexican, black, Asian, white...whatever -- and just put them on an island. We can film it as a reality show as they brutally kill each other while also cleaning up the crime problem. Then, kids who want to learn or want the opportunity to learn can go to school without being afraid of being shot, robbed, coerced into joining a gand; families can feel safer; and we can try and start this over again. Too extreme?
