Support global warming

We should start burning more fossil fuels, pollute more water (streams, oceans, rivers) cause the extinction of more species. Why not we've been doing it for how long now and now we want to stop. Why? This is our world we've ruined it this far let's see it through to the end. Hopefully it'll be quick and fairly painless, rather then long and dragged out if we keep trying to fight it. We owe it to all those species of animals and plants we've made extinct to join them in the next life. The generations coming up behind us are so useless and lazy they won't make it a generation without the 'boomer's' to do everything for them. So having the world end quickly is kinder and easier to them, rather then them actually having to do things and work, which they probably couldn't do anyway.So let's bring back gas at 20 cents a gallon cars that get 5 miles a gallon, bring back cigarettes at 18 cents a pack to just to help out.Remember just say no to saving the world.

Anyone ever see a ghost?

I did many years ago in Easton CT. It was so weird, it was winter we were to young to drive, so we took our sleds and ended up sledding down streets, just having fun. We started out on Park Ave in Bridgeport near the Easton Fairfield border. We ended up coming down this hill and were sitting there resting when we saw this woman in white with a light or lantern in her hand we called to her she didn't answer, we turned to talk to each other and when we looked back she was gone, then we saw a light further out in the woods. We didn't think much about it at the time, it was only years later that I realized we weren't that far from that haunted graveyard in Easton over by the Rte 136. I started reading about it and realized we had seen the ghost. they won't even let you park near that cemetery. The more I think on it there have been other strange things that couldn't be explained by normal reasons. Anyone else have any experiences with the paranormal

Musicians vs actors

I think musicians and songwriters are more talented work harder and get less respect than actors.Actors are over paid egotistical brats who have such inferiority complexes they are not comfortable being themselves, they have to play other people with different names and occupations to make themselves feel good. Granted it does take some talent to laugh or cry on cue and some do it better then others but get real it's all make believe because they can't face reality or who they really are. I get such a kick when I hear them say 'it's such an important role it means so much to life it sends a message." words like that, give me a break. The head of a major studio years ago said "movies are entertainment. You want to send a message use Western union". The real joke is the stupid people who actually listen to and follow these peoples advice in politics, business, love whatever loser following loser. Another good laugh is people getting hysterical when an actor dies or gets sick. Please, like they care about you? You need a life.
I know some music fans do the same thing take advice, get upset when something happens, they need a life too.
Musicians dress up on stage for entertainment, they understand that is what they are there for. The big difference is the talent, to sing, to carry a tune, to play an instrument, to write music. These are gifts and talents that actors don't come close to. Musicians are themselves and give away part of themselves in every note, every performance, they are not playing someone else they put it all on the line and say this is me. Take me or leave me. An actor does that in a role, they never take responsibility it is never them it is a lousy role, unless it a success then it's all them.Give me musicians as the more talented and real people any day.

The verdict is in

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.
Ride free
