&nbsp;Is it me? &nbsp;Can&#8217;t be.<\/p>\n<p>Your president just announced his new world-changing gun control legislation. &nbsp;What? &nbsp;This is what those morons have been working on? &nbsp;There is nothing about any gun control legislation that will stop any of the needless shootings that have happened. &nbsp;NOTHING. &nbsp;I can quote statistics from around the world, give you my opinions and none of it changes violent people. &nbsp;I read this new legislation and think, &#8220;They are dumb. &nbsp;This will not end, curtail or change any future violence that happened to inolve a gun.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Then, I think to myself. &nbsp;Dude, it ain&#8217;t about contolling guns. &nbsp;It&#8217;s about getting a little bit of power here, then there and then a little bigger chunk over here. &nbsp;It&#8217;s about people control. &nbsp;Not gun control. &nbsp;So, now who is the dumbest? &nbsp;I can answer that. &nbsp;It&#8217;s the people that elected him and his cronies. &nbsp;And this is how I know that the dumbest is NOT me! &nbsp;As I did not vote for your president or any of those other leaches on society. &nbsp;I&#8217;m plenty capable of some retarded stuff&#8211;exhibit 1&#8211;I raise goats. &nbsp;Those people that surround me have plenty of mental scars from having to deal with me. &nbsp;But as dumb as I may be, I would never, ever, &nbsp;vote for anything as mentally debilitating as these wasters-of-oxygen that currently reside in Washington D.C. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; How do we fix our nation? &nbsp;It isn&#8217;t simple. &nbsp;But it is do-able. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>First, people need to quit watching\/listening to our media. &nbsp;This includes magazines, newspapers and internet sources. &nbsp;They all have their own agendas, and it all revolves around the almighty dollar. &nbsp;Fact not opinion. &nbsp;You know it and I know it. &nbsp;But, you still watch the crap. &nbsp;I will watch the OKC news for the weather. &nbsp;Why? &nbsp;Because I am not smart. &nbsp;I know that the weatherman is not going to be accurate. &nbsp;But at least they are trying. &nbsp;Fox news, CNN, etc all have their biases. &nbsp;They don&#8217;t even try to hide them. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Second, we all need to take a step back from social media. &nbsp;Facebook, etc. all have their place. &nbsp;They are remarkable tools for connecting people. &nbsp;And your government knows this. &nbsp;Propaganda is spread rapidly via these mediums. &nbsp;If you want to find something that agrees with you, just keep scrolling. &nbsp;There will be a post that supports exactly your most twisted ideallogy. &nbsp;It&#8217;s out there.<\/p>\n<p>Third&#8211;Use history as a tool. &nbsp;There is a reason that history used to be taught in school. &nbsp;History is not an exact science, but it does show us where we have been, where we are and a general probability of where we are headed. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Next&#8211;It probably isn&#8217;t possible to steer clear of our media or social media. &nbsp;TV, radio, internet, phones, and on and on and on. &nbsp;So, how do we handle it? &nbsp;Simple, COMMON SENSE. &nbsp;Somehow, somewhere, and I&#8217;m not smart enough to tell you when or where we lost common sense, but lose it we did. &nbsp;We are surrounded by information. &nbsp;Good and bad. &nbsp;This blog is a prime example. &nbsp;There are times that readers learn from it, there are times when it was simply a waste of time and there are times when one is actually dumber after reading it. &nbsp;My point&#8211;do some research for yourself. &nbsp;Just because it was on the internet\/tv\/facebook\/chive\/xm radio\/whatever does NOT make it legit. &nbsp;Look at the other side of the story. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We need to stick to common things. &nbsp;Things like the Constitution of the United States of America and the bill of rights that go with it. &nbsp;We need to stick to the bible. &nbsp;Don&#8217;t try to intrepret these items. &nbsp;Just drive right down the middle. &nbsp;Use common sense. &nbsp;Some will argue that we do. &nbsp;But that isn&#8217;t always the case. &nbsp;There are governments and religions that are founded on &#8220;their&#8221; version of these documents. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;I don&#8217;t undertstand how several religions can preach NOT to eat pork. &nbsp;Personally, I feel a little closer to GOD when eating a smoked pork chop, or a sausage link or bacon, yes BACON, bacon on everything. &nbsp;Christmas morning was a great morning here in paradise. &nbsp;Tammy cooked a breakfast with applewood smoke bacon, sausage links and Canadian bacon with eggs and pancakes. &nbsp;Yes, three pig items. &nbsp;But, more importantly, all four of us sitting at the table at once. &nbsp;No tv, internet or phones. &nbsp;Just good food and family. &nbsp;Life felt right. &nbsp;Kind of like the mastercard commercials&#8211;PRICELESS! &nbsp;But, because of common sense, I don&#8217;t want to even argue with anybody that does not believe in eating pork. &nbsp;If it makes them a better person, then so be it. &nbsp;Just as long as they let me eat pig, then I&#8217;m good. &nbsp;And, you mean that some people don&#8217;t believe in eating beef. &nbsp;Aw lawdy, this can&#8217;t be right. &nbsp;I get the whole pig is a filthy beast, but I don&#8217;t want to live without my beef steaks. &nbsp;But, I&#8217;m fine if somebody else feels that they shouldn&#8217;t. &nbsp;That is their calI. &nbsp;I find humour that almost every religion will eat goat. &nbsp;There are a lot of times that I see a goat being associated with the darker side of life. &nbsp;Especially a doe goat. &nbsp;(Bet you all didn&#8217;t see that one coming?! &nbsp;I apologize.) &nbsp; &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; This new gun legislation is nothing but &#8220;an intrepretation of the 2nd amendment&#8221;. &nbsp;If you have a desire, then you can twist any words to mean something other than what it was intended to mean. &nbsp;One can twist the words to meet their desires, but it doesn&#8217;t make it right. &nbsp;Basically, there is one rule that we should all just stick to, and that would be the golden rule. &nbsp;If every religion and government would adhere to the golden rule, we&#8217;d be just okie dokie. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Have a good day and a better tomorrow. &nbsp;Two words&#8211;COMMON SENSE.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; There are a lot of times that I just shake my head, mutter a foul word or two under my breath and wonder who exactly is the dumbest?
