Good Morning Campers! Well its Friday the 13th....dont freak out, we will survive it! Its just another day. Those of you with chronic bad luck will find several things to blame on the 13th, those of you who are always optimistic, will simply write it off as a coincidence...you know the "glass is half full" kind of people. I am happy to see and hear of so many people reading my post and following me...I hope that i can keep this entertaining and fresh so you will keep coming back. I would love it if everyone would register to follow me or at least leave a comment every once and a while. Those of you that actually follow me will receive a cabinet position in my administration once I am elected President....or a T-shirt, one or the other.
OK, so since this President thing is out there, lets talk about it. People want to know where the candidates stand on all the issues. Issues...issues..issues...so lets talk about them. The first thing I think about is wondering if the media or other candidates will find something in my past to drag up and air out for the world to see, so as to crash the whole thing to ground. The answer to that is no...I think. I cant remember anything that is a real deal breaker, I was kind of a nerd growing up. No shady bank or land deals, no affairs, havent been in prison, and I certainly didnt inhale. Ok, before some of you cry foul..hang on. I havent ever, ever, everevereverevr....smoked pot or used any "recreational " drugs. I know, i am a square. I dont like not being in control of my actions, and i always felt that if I did dope, i would be out of control. I do drink alcohol on occasion, but hardly ever. When i was a patrolman for Dardanelle Police Department, people would ask while i was searching them for drugs "come on man, its just a little pot, we've all done it". Nope man, sure havent. I am very anti-drug, always have been. So sorry all you folks pushing for legalized pot, i am not your man. I was really close to someone at one time that has/had an addiction and saw it destroy lives, a true tragedy. While taking my kids to school today I noticed a business in Russellville with a sign out front telling people to come in and sign the petition to legalize medicinal marijuana. This is a freakin joke, just have the balls to stand up and say you want to smoke pot legally and stop hiding behind the premise that you all of the sudden care for the medical well being of all the terminally ill people in this world. If you do, go volunteer at hospice or something.
Where have you been while people fight to control the over use of anti-biotics or the amazing shortage of emergency meds that we are dealing with now, or the largest rising crises in healthcare now, the abuse of prescription medication.
OK, I did it again....got carried away on my soapbox...sorry. well, now you know my stance on drug usage in the United States. I do think we need a reform of how we enforce drug laws and prosecute offenders. we are drowning in debt paying to house simple drug offenders in prisons. I dont think conventional prisons are the answer to our non-violent criminals.
As we all head into the weekend, I hope everyone has a great time and stays safe, especially on the North Side of Yell County as I will be working to try to save you jokers when you screw up.. LOL. So sign in and tell me how you feel on the topics of today, leave a good comment so we can fight about it all day!
Once again, you hit the nail on the head.
ReplyDeleteHey man! I just came across your blog via the wonderful world of Facebook. So, greetings from Afghanistan! I'm liking what you have to say dude, I'll be sure to keep up with it when we come across places with Internet connections. So keep it up. Btw, I'm putting my name in the hat now for a cush govt job once you get elected; something where I don't really do much but get paid for the rest of my life! I'm sure you can find something... Stay safe man.
ReplyDeleteJust bring me in to fire the existing cabinet, will ya?
ReplyDeleteI thought about this all day and really trying to think about those years way back when.... I remember a certain colored ford car, a missing hubcap, and someone putting a fake license plate on said car. oh but hey, no deal breakers there, just a few laughs at my expense. :) Yep, you've always seemed to stay fairly level headed about your life. I believe you would do well at running for a local political position in either Pope or Yell Co. Have you considered it? It's a start at least. Have you considered being a lobbyist for what you stand for? You seemed to be quite popular throughout your teen+ years for all the right reasons. I bet you'd be surprised at the number of supporters you would have. I'd seriously think about it if I were you.
ReplyDeleteGreat post.
