To all of you who partied in the 60’s and 70’s. You know who you are, you’re the ones who drank and drugged and survived. The ones the phrase “ if you remember the 60’s& 70’s you weren’t really there” was coined for. Guess what?
I know some of you are now in 12 step programs, some didn’t need that. Most of you went on to become business people, teachers and other responsible members of society. Based on that you feel you escaped unscathed from the degenerate debauchery of your past. You’re half right. You escaped, your offspring and their subsequent offspring didn’t. Look around, the generation your birthed, continued the drinking and drugging and began the downhill slide of civilization as we knew it. The generation they set loose on the world is scary. The amount of brain cells they lack is amazing. If the normal workings of the body, ie heart, lungs weren’t involuntary they probably wouldn’t survive to puberty.
What is this based on, simple, “reality TV shows” “duh” along with other popular shows. Did you also notice how many shows and movies are remakes from the 60’s-80’s. No new ideas. Surprise, you have to have a brain to have an idea. How about reading? That’s a joke, most of them can’t spell look at text messages. What we use to call comic books they now call “graphic novels” just to boost their egos.
Good luck expecting them to take care of you if you need it, they can’t even take care of themselves. In a way it makes me hope that the newest end of the world date Dec 21 2012 comes true it would be kinder and gentler to them then actually having to live without people to do everything for them as we and their parents die off. I feel very lucky and blessed that I never had any kids, I can honestly say the future is not my fault.
Now we have empirical proof that drinking and drugging causes more damage to society then ever before thought.

Boring Xmas decorations
On my way home I keep seeing what passes as Christmas decorations today. You know the ones, those ugly no imagination used to design inflatable things, the mass produced reindeer with their heads going up and down or side to side. All those commercial useless rubber stamped decorations of what some moron without a bone of creativity in their body thinks people should put on their lawns and homes. Uninspiring and boring. But what should I expect, most people today have no novel thoughts or individuality. If it isn't in a movie, advertisement, magazine or some form of media they wouldn't eat it, read it wear it, and so on. While I don't believe in or celebrate Christmas I did enjoy years ago seeing the decorations. Every house that was decorated was different. Different colors, different shapes, they made their own sleds and reindeer out of plywood or wire along with stars and balls whatever came into their minds. Trees that had lost their leaves and those that didn't were covered in lights. Imaginations were used it was worth driving around to see the different decorations. Some towns even had contests. Now just go to to one of the home improvement stores and you've seen what's on most houses you don't have to waste time or gas driving around to be disgusted or bored. Look how far we've come "One stop boredom".

Christian laws
I'm tired of hearing about prayer breakfasts and any type of religious interference in government. The constitution calls for a separation of church and state. The state stays out of church business and the church should stay out of state business.It is the duty or responsibility of the followers of a religion to follow its dictates and laws. People who are not members of a religion should not have to follow it's laws. Christians don't believe in abortion, OK Christians shouldn't get one. However those who don't believe it's wrong shouldn't have to follow Christian doctrine. If churches and religions are going to continue pushing for laws that cause society to more and more mirror their religious laws they should be taxed and taxed heavily for violating the separation of church and state. One of the biggest jokes I see in this holier then thou push to control others is how the Christians are upset with Muslim countries that mirror their religion. I guess it's only OK for Christians to tell people how and what to believe.

Riding Free
Driving down the road last week (early Dec) I heard a public service announcement that actually caught my attention so I thought I’d write something about it. That being decided I promptly forgot all about it. Fast forward a few days and some friends heard the same announcement and sent me an email on it. Saved again.
The PSA was about the fact DUI laws apply to bikes as well as cars. Most people would have no objection with that. However since the announcement only mentioned an American made motorcycle, its specific sound and had a Harley revving in the background we found it highly objectionable. It appears the state of Connecticut is stereotyping Harley riders as drunks. I’m amazed HD hasn’t commented on it. Another form of stereotyping based on what you ride. Had it just said motorcyclists should remember that DUI laws apply to them there would be no issue. On the lighter side would you expect a fair, impartial intelligent PSA from the people who broadcast it in the middle of winter when the majority of bikes are put away for the season? Maybe the brain trust will run anti-drunk snowmobiling or sledding PSAs in July or August?
This would be a good cause for the CMRA to look into. Stereotyping a group of people based on their mode and brand of transportation. Sad part is that won’t happen anytime in the near future. This year depending on how the economic crisis plays out, how much of a smoke screen the politicians want out there to cover their ineptitude and incompetence they may try to push a helmet bill. If it comes about it will be hard fought battle. As it has been written before the CMRA is a victim of its own success, 25+ years without a helmet bill passing in this state. People have forgotten that it could still happen. Apathy has set in. People have forgotten the CMRA still needs your help. Support is definitely needed and I thank all of you who have remained members. Now that the kids are grown maybe you could step up your involvement a little. People are needed to fill all types of positions from making out flyers to setting up notification systems (to let people know of threats to their freedom) and everything in between. Please don’t be shy come down to a meeting, I’ve heard it put they are no worse than a root canal. I figure they’re about the same. In my mind the more you get involved with the CMRA the more you carry on a tradition that was started in 1776 the picking up and carrying the torch of freedom that has been handed down to every generation since. If you’re laughing at this think for a moment, all freedom whether it is the right for people to vote, live where they want anything and everything begins with personal freedom. If we as individuals don’t have freedom to ride how we want, how can America claim to be or stay free? I remember hearing that a federal politician once called “bikers the bastion of freedom” just because we stood up for our rights and freedom.
If you enjoy riding the way you want and have been a member thanks again for your support. If your buddy is sitting there enjoying his freedom yet not helping us he owes you. Tell him to put his money where his ride is and join the CMRA so the both of you can carry the torch. Remember the lifestyle you enjoy in the wind is threatened everyday by people wanting to control how and what you ride. Just say NO to them, join the CMRA.

Legalize Drugs
Should we legalize illegal drugs, heroin, cocaine and the like?
I say yes. I think it would greatly reduce the crime rate in this country. If you can buy your drug of choice for about the equivalent cost of a bottle of booze or a 6 pack what need do you have to steal. What was a $500-$1000 a day habit is now under $30. You can stay high all month on your welfare and/or social security check. Yes addicts would be given some sort of welfare, along with the option any time they chose to take it to enter a rehab that along with detoxing them would also provide education so that when they got out they were able to find jobs and become productive members of society. Burglaries, robberies and prostitution will plummet dramatically. No more drive by shootings by dealers protecting their turf.
Another major upside would be in taxes. Instead of pumping billions of tax dollars into a war we can’t win, we let the dealers set up legitimate stores the government sets the prices and profits then taxes the dealers. Paying the welfare to the addicts and letting them give the money for legal drugs seems strange at first glance. However no longer are we paying for incarcerating people for possession or sale of narcotics nor the crimes they needed to commit to get them. That’s a massive saving in police, court and jail costs. The welfare we would end up paying would be nowhere near these costs not to mention the cost to society as a whole with injuries the innocents as well insurance and legal claims. This again would keep more money in the taxpayer’s pocket.
Some will say absolutely not it will just make more addicts. However using that rationalization alcohol should be outlawed just as it was during prohibition because according to the above thinking it makes more alcoholics

Why do we ned mariage?
Why in this day and age of instant everything do we need something that's suppose to last a lifetime I mean we have speed dating, virtual dating, online relationships so why do we need a legality called marriage. I figure religions want it to insure followers and money. Why would the state want it? I mean we're stuck paying taxes no matter what and they even lower them if you're married. Lower taxes for married people doesn't seem to fit with the equality that we are all suppose to enjoy. As a matter a fact it appears to be a tax or a punishment for remaining happy. As far as having the same last name for the kids that reason went out the window when everybody started getting divorced and re-married and kids in the same household could have a half a dozen different names. The partners in this without marriage could have their names changed legally into a hybrid of both or something different so the name change is out the window. Property as long as both names are on it, it gets divided that way. I know women keep it going because they want alimony. That's the whole reason behind marriage. Legalized prostitution. At least California is honest about it and call it palimony a hybrid of prostitution and alimony.So marriage is really nothing more then women wanting money and to be taken care of for life. What happened to equal rights and the feminist movement? I guess in the naked light of day equal rights only apply in certain ways.Based on all this what is the big deal with gay marriage. As I said in an earlier post 'they have the same right to misery as straights do'.

Hairspray & Women
A friend and I were talking one day and as usual the discussion came around to women. He was about 10+ years older then me so I thought he might have some insight into why women don't think right or normal. Well it turns out he did have a theory, he called it the "Hairspray Theory". It works like this. When women are little girls their minds work fine, they are nice and friendly they can understand things, they make sense. Then it happens, fashion takes over, their mother or big sister or some other older women takes them under their wing and introduces them to "fashion". Make-up, dress up, perfume and then the dastardly culprit "Hairspray". By this point you're thinking as I was that my friend wasn't thinking to clearly himself, however having a male brain that is correctly wired I let him finish his statement. Did it ever make sense! Men and women take a look at the list of ingredients on a can of hairspray. Are any of them NOT on the DOT list of hazardous chemicals? You know the chemicals truck drivers need a special endorsement on their license to carry, the ones that the fire department puts on those protective suits and self contained breathing apparatus before they clean up any spills. The same chemicals homeland security would wonder why a civilian had them and the military would send in their bio-chemical warfare people to check them out. Those are what makes up hairspray. We are not suppose to be around it yet from before a little girl reaches 10 years old these chemicals are being sprayed directly on her scalp talk about child abuse. Don't you think that these chemicals which you need protective gear to handle permeate through her skin and bone and directly into her brain after a period of time? I do. What damage does it do to the brain and thinking process of the woman. I don't believe any scientific tests have yet to be done since I believe this is the first publishing of this theory. Enough non scientific data has definitely been gathered by men over the years and they were always told by the women they were wrong it was the men who had the problem with the brain. Talk about the inmates running the asylum, they dose themselves daily sometimes more then once with hazardous chemicals and don't think it does any damage, wow! I'm not even mentioning the chemicals in dyes, colorings, straighteners, conditioners. It's amazing we don't need special hazmat cemeteries to bury them in.It does get worse though men are now starting to use more and more of these same products. If this trend continues we may see the breakdown of civilization within a very few years. I am going to apply for a Federal grant to bring together the worlds top scientists to see if there is any way to reverse this condition in women. In the mean time please stop using it, "Just say NO to brain damage"
My friend's name remains a guarded secret to protect him.As far as I go I figure we could all use a good laugh. Hopefully the women will understand if they haven't used hairspray today.
