I won't vote for Hillary because I'm an a** hole who thinks that it's time for a change.
I don't want to vote for a Clinton, or a Bush, fresh ideas from fresh people, not old ideas from leftover people..
Optimistic people, so no I will not vote Tea Party. I maybe forced to vote against the unpatriots and if Ms Clinton is the alturnitive, I'll just hold my noise and pull the Democrats lever, and do what I always do, vote against the most obnoxious canidates rather then vote for a particular canidate.
In 2008 I voted for Barack Obama, in 2012 I voted against Mitt Romney. Now it probably dosen't mean anything to the winner, but at least in my mind I have my integrity intack.
I look at the Obama administration and tell myself if I wanted a Hillary Clinton administration I would have voted for her in the Democratic Primary. ( Maybe that's my problem, I'm a little touched in the head I speak to myself).

Steve's barking; the end of fighting in the Middle East will be..............
The way thing are going in the middle with fighting, the murdering and rape that goes on with the type of fighting that is happening in Iraq and Syria, I ask myself how can this insanity end (things appear to be so bad there it makes the Israel, Palestinian conflict seem like a minor bar room brawl).
My only guess is that the conflict will end before the end of 2015 not because of intervention on one side or another but because of disease.
There are new disease being discovered ever day, each more deadly then the other and with refugee camps and fighters coming in from every and all parts of the region an epidemic is inevitable.
An epidemic with diseases that can't be cured makes cowards of us all.

Steve's barking at capitalist communist
Capitalist communism (?) can't be.
Capitalist communist must be those billionaires who are a disgrace to their class. Economic equality= blaspheme.
In the sixties when we were taught the superiority of American democracy over communism we were taught about freedom of speech that America had and the communist counties didn't. In the present day the rich have the ability to drown out those aren't rich lowering the voice of others.
We were taught about how the state would spy on the people. Present day America large corporation spy on the citizens (think of Face book, Google, Yahoo and the advertisers on those platforms).
We were taught that the people of the communist countries had to think one way just as as some of those cable news network seem to want the people who watch their network expect their viewers to do.
We were taught that the Soviet Union would tell the same lie over and over again that the people would believe. Sound familiar to those capitalist think tanks Cato institute, and the Heritage Foundation. I know they're called conservative think tanks but are they really.
Brings me to another warning of the evils of communist, they would use terms like freedom loving people while actually meaning those who are enslaved.Seems to me that I hear from capitalist who like to say freedom of choice when they actually mean freedom to choose what they want you to choose. Yes there are some liberals I know who aren't that rich but think the same way.
As I have said before, there are many capitalist who learned their lesson well from the Communist.

Steve's barking; I didn't realize I was a thief (of intelelectual property)
I didn't realize I was a thief (of intellectual property).
I know now?
How do I know.
The supreme court tells me so.
In it's six to three decision against Aereo I do believe it implies that one can not record over the air programing that can be played at a later date a later date unless one pays for it the the provider of that content.
I've had a VHS for 30 years and in the past I've recorded shows, and have seen them at a later date.
Now if one takes this a step further one can say I'm stealing intellectual property.
It seems to me that the only reason for Aereo was to take what has always been free, and having someone pay for clarity and rebroadcasting on devises that aren't traditional televisions.
Maybe those who don't use no traditional devises aren't stealing even though record for future viewing.
Now that I've gotten this ruling off my chest, let me contemplate why am I paying for something that my next door neighbor who doesn't have cable or a dish gets for free?
Why did the FCC let the over the air broadcast companies charge the cable and dish companies for their programing which in turn charges me. If the over the air broadcast feels that it needs the wired and dish household money so bad then they should give up their right to broadcast on that spectrum.
I was kind of under the impression that over the air broadcasting was a privilege to serve a community, if it makes one pay and the other gets that service for free it's not serving the community equal.
If for some idiotic reason someone palagerizes this blog should I be paid?
No, no, no, I gave it away for free.

steve's barking; what would Scroodge McDuck do?
What would Scrooge McDuck do if he didn't have to pay taxes?
Would he be generous andstill give to charities? Would he give to hospitals and libraries?
Does he give to cultural instatutions out of the goodness of his heart or does he do it for tax right off, after all every one knows that Mister McDuck doesn't like what the government does with his tax money. At least part of the money that he would have gone to taxes goes to what he likes and loves.
If he didn't have to pay taxes would he still help the hospitals, the arts, and the libraries.
Just thinking.

Steve barking; let's have a nation jackass day
In the US we have days to honor just about everything and everybody.
Things like cup cake day and ice cream cone day.We celebrate Pit bull day and glutton eating hot frankfurters day ( this is celebrated in Coney Island in case you didn't know).
In New York we give special parades for special people, we have ( name a country) heritage parades,
We have a several gay pride parades, and ghost and a goblin parade. In San Fransico they have a S&M street faire. All I'm asking for is day to recognize the greatist majority in this country, more then straight people and gay people combined, that jackasses or as I said to the idiot who cut me off on the highway today, you A hole. An A hole is a jackass only by another name.
The thing about A holes is that the're just like werewolves ther're normal most of the time but come at certain times of the month and the you have to be very careful of them.
Everyone knows a jackass, in fact most if not all the people we know are at one time or another are jackasses. I know for a fact I've turned into A hole many times in my life, and if your honest with yourself you've probably been a jackass too at least once or twice, so is't it about time we gave a day for all of us. Let's hear it for National Jackass (ass hole) day.
*In this country there are straight people, gay people, bi people ans asexual people. That's how I can state more then straight people and gay people combined.

Steve's barking; The country of New Texas.
Never heard of the country of New Texas? That's because it doesn't exist.
I was just thinking let's try a social experiment an create new country for all those libertarians out there. Texas, being the largest state with anti-government sentiment. Texas has a industries, including farming, energy, and manufacturing. It has the Gulf of Mexico which can be used as drinking water and farming with desalting of the sea water.
The US would give the new country of New Texas 500 billion dollars and 1/50 of the gold reserves held by the federal reserve.
Those who elect to live in the new country of New Texas would not get Medicare from the United States, and as far as Social Security is concerned , those who already get will still get it, those who don't will not unless the government of New Texas has some sort of Social Security and has a reciprocal agreement with the United States.
Every five years New Texas would have a chance to return as a state of the United States with the last chance 20 years after it leaves.That's four chances to opt back into being a state in the United States.
First opportunity, they get to keep the money but have to give back the gold. The second opportunity they have to pay back the 500 billion. The third and fourth opportunity New Texas would have to buy it's way back.
The country of New Texas would be a great way to find out if libertarian (anarchy) democracy really works.
Scotland may leave Great Britain, counties are talking of leaving the Euro Zone. Middle Eastern counties, forget about it, so why not a spot in the US.
