Random Thoughts: Rule of Law, State and Religion, and Fission

For ending to Superego, some reviews have called it too abrupt while others point it out as one of the best parts.

Endings are hard. I can think of few things in fiction where I loved the ending. Mainly successful twist endings.

For movies, I think the best ending I’ve seen is for The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. Perfect resolution for the three characters.

If some are able to injure and kill others without punishment, you don’t have the rule of law and that is not a happy place to be.

A little more rioting, and I’m sure we can sort this out to the benefit of all.

It’s really hard to take seriously any criticism of capitalism that’s instantly shared worldwide through the internet.

When we’re talking about abuse of government power, I think a guilty until proven innocent standard is best.

Where did the whole idea that marriage should involve a man and a woman come from anyway?

I’m just a bit skeptical the Founding Fathers hid gay marriage in the Constitution and we just didn’t find it until now.

You could remove marriage from government for being a religious institution, but redefining it is silly and shortsighted.

Of course, redefining marriage started with changes in divorce law. Lesson: Keep your church and state separate.

When the definition of marriage is up to the state, social engineering is inevitable. The point should be to avoid that.

The blind lawyer Batman show made me realize how good a regular Batman show could potentially be.

One with adult Batman. Not baby Batman like the show currently on FOX.

People, stop crashing on the highway. It really inconveniences me.

Was thinking it’s inevitable next president will inherit a growing economy because it has to rally some time, but starting to wonder.

Eh, we should stumble into some growth soon. At least for some states. Like Texas.

We’re possibly approaching a society where it’s considered worse to hurt someone’s feelings than to shoot him.

So what’s the PC term for people who gleefully commit random acts of destruction and violence?

Still baffled how Ben Affleck failed upward from Daredevil to Batman.

One of the secrets to good health is to use microaggressions to intimidate viruses and bacteria.

I once met a police officer and he seemed nice, so I don’t get what the problem is.

What did people do with opinions before the internet?

Gah! I just found out I referred to stars doing fission in Superego! How did no one catch that until now?

Well, it came up in a Rico monologue, so I guess we can say he made the mistake and not me.

Or I just have to live with the mistake and say he lives in some alternate universe where stars work by fission. I’ll expand that in sequel.

  1. We only have micro aggressions because of this dang socialist attempt to use the metric system! We need to go back to using 1/8th aggression, 1/4 aggression, 1/2 aggression, etc!!!!!
    BTW….if you liked “The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly” you MUST watch the Korean version: The Good, The Bad, The Weird.

  2. “What did people do with opinions before the internet?”

    Well, I recall that families had something called “discussions at the dinner table,” a practice that apparently died out with the rising popularity of soccer and MASH reruns.

    Also, there was “chewing the fat” with neighbors who were pretty much like us: conservative. Now, we don’t want to talk with our neighbors because they got really fat and are mostly liberal.

    Then, there was talk radio, letters to the editor and writing your Congressman. None of those ever worked and were abandoned in favor of arguing with Democrat relatives – which never worked either. Now, we don’t talk to our relatives because most of them voted for Obama and have the IQ’s of thermostat settings.

    Then, the Internet came along and we were all saved – but reduced to “what difference, at this point, does it make?” after 100 years of European social philosophy ruined the culture.

  3. I’m just a bit skeptical the Founding Fathers hid gay marriage in the Constitution and we just didn’t find it until now.

    It’s right there in the Penumbra, next to the right to late-term abortion on demand, free contraceptives, the right to demand wedding cake from people who don’t want to sell you one, and the fundamental human right to live, work, obtain a free education and/or subsist on public assistance in America regardless of citizenship or compliance with immigration laws.

    (Have you noticed that the only “Constitutional rights” the Democrats are interested in upholding are the ones in the Penumbra?)

  4. #7 FormerHostage says: We only have micro aggressions because of this dang socialist attempt to use the metric system! We need to go back to using 1/8th aggression, 1/4 aggression, 1/2 aggression, etc!!!!!

    I’ve always measured my smaller quantities of aggression in ounces, cups, pints, quarts, and gallons – my more typical amounts of aggression, of course, must be measured in cr@ploads, b-ttloads, sh!tloads and, during “Shark Week” (if you catch my euphemism), c*ntloads.

  5. Gay marriage is in the Constution.
    “Amendment IX

    The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.”

    By the definition of micro, one million.
