What in the hell is wrong with these kids today?

Recently I have noticed locally that a recurring news item seems to be a glut of bomb threats left on bathroom walls. I know they are tired of being in school and crave a vacation, but DAMN!!!! Don’t they know that such a thing could possibly get you a lifetime membership at Club Fed? I mean where is the sense. Since 9/11/01 you can’t even say the word “bomb” in any airport without getting a gun (or seven) pointed at you head. And the thing in Virginia Beach has the whole country getting all skittish again. In a world freshly filled with paranoia, why of all things a bomb threat?

They are pretty damn jaded too. I mean if a news van sitting in front of your school is not a big thing to you, where is your mind? I asked the boy-child the other day, why is the news van at your school? The first reply was “I don’t know”. The second time I asked the question I got, “Oh, maybe it had something to do with the bomb threat on the bathroom wall”. To which I responded, “You don’t think that a BOMB THREAT that brings the TV news to your school is neither memorable nor important?” The answer? You probably guessed that he said “Nope”. He sure didn’t get that from me…

Again I ask. Where is the sense?

What’s in a name?

Recently while roaming my local blog world, a question about my name came up. After a moment of reflection I replied that it does sound somewhat contorted and nasty. That got me to thinking about what goes into an online persona. What things make us rename ourselves to maintain our non-virtual privacy? How revealing are the labels we attach to ourselves. Some people get fanciful. Some steal from real life or popular fiction. Some try to describe their mental outlook. Others try to describe their physical attributes. Some just put their business out in cyberspace. I don’t even know how many people actually realize what their “online ID” says about them. Although it does beg the question about what kind of person Hot_Ass_Trina (just an example) might really be. The anonymity that the internet affords us allows people to lie about who they are. In fact our expectations are that this happens more often than not. But even more interesting is that people are more truthful when anonymous than when exposed. Kinda disturbing when you think about it. Backwards even…

I am interested in hearing your stories. Why you are who or what your screen name portrays. You tell me yours, I will tell you mine!!!!

Election Day!!!

I am going on record right now before the all of the candidates surface. I predict another Republican administration! Everyone please take this moment to shudder with me. In fact be sick to your stomach if you wish. I say this because:

1. Hillary Clinton is showing strong for the Democrats at this early stage.
2. Barack Obama is fast rising front runner for the Democratic nomination.
3. The other Democrats, including other notables John Edwards and Al Gore, don’t seem all that strong to me right now.
4. America is ultimately a racist and sexist nation.

So I ask you this question. With Iraq, FBI probes, high gas and low economy among other things linked to the current administration. Is this country ready for a Black man or White woman for President of the United States? I don’t think so. But I am. And I will be there with bells on to put my opinion on that ballot.

Rights!

Why is it that the people who scream the loudest about their rights seem to not be concerned about others rights all that much?
