Selective anger/Targeted Furor

          Now I have pretty much stayed out of the Martin Shooting discussion because I prefer to have all the facts before I make an opinion known and all the facts aren't in yet over exactly what happened.  I do know the case is not as cut and dried as people would like to make it out to be and that the media has had a field day with doctored news and altered 911 Tapes.  This, of course, does not surprise me since most reporters and news producers are lower than catfish when it comes to bottom feeding.  I will say that, regardless of the final outcome of that night and regardless of Martin's lifestyle or attitude, Zimmerman should be arrested and tried because if he had just obeyed the dispatcher and not chased the boy, the shooting would not have occurred.
          But this particular rant isn't about Martin, Zimmerman or the press.  It is about humanity and its amazing ability to get totally honked off about one thing but completely ignore other events that eclipse it.  Since Martin's death, the very powerful and influential have set up a hue and cry for his arrest.  Hells, there is even at least one bounty on his head.  Promotional tee-shirts, hoodies and a for all I know decorative china are for sale.  People gather in their thousands to cry and weep and demand justice.  This is all well and good, but what about the others?

          In this case, 2 people were killed and 12 were injured including a 5 year old little girl who has a bullet in her leg.  They were gunned down by people with automatic weapons while attending the funeral of a friend.  All of the victims were Black and at least one was around Martin's age.  So where is the American outrage over this horrific crime?  Where are the mighty and powerful demanding justice be done?  No where to be found.  I am betting that most of you who aren't news junkies like me weren't even aware that the shooting had occurred.  It sure as Hell hasn't been run on CNN, Faux News etc 24/7.  Why is that?  If the shooting of one child is big news, shouldn't the shooting of several (Including a 5 year old) be even bigger news.  Perhaps it is because both the shooters and victims are Black.  Perhaps it is because the whole thing has been listed as "gang related."  Maybe it is because most of the people involved were from Haiti and not the US originally.  All I know for sure is that a five year old little girl will spend the rest of her life with a bullet in her leg and no one is expressing any outrage over it.

          I have oftentimes been accused of being  a Racist and I always tell people that they are right.  I am a racist in the truest sense of the word.  As a whole, I despise humanity.  With some fantastic exceptions, humans always seem to sink to the lowest point possible.  We haven't changed that much from the old Gladiator fights where people cheered as men hacked each other to death.  The only difference today from long ago is that people get their fixes from places like CNN, Fox News etc.  People soak up the rage and violence shown and direct their anger where ever the News wants it to be.  The story of a Black kid shot by a white man is big news and everyone is feeding off of it.  The story of a bunch of Black funeral goers shot by gang members isn't big news so it is ignored.  It is time that Humanity stops getting its facts from sensationalized sound bites and learns to see past Faux News' "Breaking News" to see what else is happening in the world.  Or is that too much to ask?

Warning contains offensive language and offending ideas!

 
          This may come as a surprise to many people, but I am very much Anti-Abortion.  Of course this statement, like so many of my statements comes with a caveat.  I believe that abortions can be allowed when the life of the mother is threatened or in cases of Incest and Rape.  I do not believe for a moment that simply because you were careless or simply uncaring that you should be allowed to terminate the life of a future person.  Sorry but you being inconvenienced  is not a reason to kill someone.  If at the end of nine months, you don't want to keep the wrinkled thing, then give it up for adoption.  There are a lot childless people out there who would love it.
          Now with this highly provocative and potentially angrifying statement made, let me expand upon my line of reasoning on the "Right to life" arguments being bounced around by so many people.  I personally feel that this argument is not being taken far enough to protect the lives of our future babies.  I mean sure, we need to ban abortion, but what about all the other ways these babies to come are being removed from the Gene Pool?
Cursing, curse?  get it?

          Okay first off, since we are interfering with women's rights by stopping contraceptives and  such, we  need to take this to its logical conclusion.  Since every time a woman goes through her menstrual cycle, she flushes at least one egg out of her system then we need to find a way to stop women from having their periods.  Since all woman are born with a limited number of eggs in their system, every time they flush one out that is one less potential person that can be born.  Not sure how this can be accomplished, but it needs to be done.  Never mind that a woman's menstrual cycle is necessary for her continued good health, we have to save those future voters...er people.
The guys will get the joke here.
     Moving on, let's cover the guys' area of no-nos.  First of all, We should outlaw vasectomies!  I mean, when a guy gets his tubes snipped, that is dooming untold future people to death.  Every single one of those precious sperm could become the next Rush Limbaugh or Sean Hannity.  A man has a responsibility to make sure that everyone of those future people has a chance to mess things up.  Of course the next logical step is to outlaw whacking off, well at least for men.  Every time some lonely teenage pays tribute to tissue paper, he is dooming a vast number future people.  I suggest a minimum of a lesser felony for each instance of "self abuse" punishable by at least a year in a male chastity belt.  Lesser punishments could be meted out for nocturnal emissions since this is involuntary.
I like bunnies and it seemed to fit, sue me

          Course following this chain of logic, good old Rick Insanetorum's War on Porn makes perfect sense.  I mean, how many potential human lives have been lost because some horny guy watched Cherry Forever and Dick Long do horribly nasty and inappropriate things to one another?  If we can ban all porn then we can save the future of humanity from certain doom!  So come on people, down with baby stoppers and up with over population!  Or as I so love to quote, "GO LEMMINGS GO!"
