Life is Short

I heard last night that a classmate's wife had passed with very little warning; cancer with not tie to how she lived.

This has set for weeks, because I have been unsure what to say.

I have come to the conclusion tonight, that it is best to recognize them, toast their lives, and keep the essential lesson in the fore-front.

Life is Short.

How about NO NATION BUILDING?

Reading this Nobel Laureate platitudes , I can't help but think, Just Say No! I was young and foolish once, but no longer. We should stop bleeding and dying to fight the wars of folks who lack the capacity to hold what we take for them. More over, let them take their own GD dirt. As for me, I'm done. I no longer believe in Nation Building. People who molest goats and boys can live or die on their own. Not my concern, not my blood, no the blood of my children's generation. No more. Call me selfish, call me wise, I care not a Silver Sh!t. Unlike some of my classmates who have already matriculated to eternity, I have faced the Reaper, and it wasn't my time. We need to stop the insanity. Bleeding, dying for people who molest livestock when there aren't enough young boys to be had is insane. I'm coarse and direct because the generation that is down-range deserves better. They see this insane sh!t every day. I believe in the old-school approach. Post a...

A Better Way .... Kill People and Break Things

Based on the well documented collapse of the US University system , one of the better (less bad) options is the "Trade School" approach. I say better, because if you end up with a globalist, police-the-world CIC, you run the risk they will get you or your classmates, or your men dead. Yes, I said Men. Like it or not, when it is time to do dangerous things, overwhelmingly, it will be the men who will bleed, be maimed, marred, or dead. Like others, before and after me, I choose to go to a Service Academy. We held up our hands, swore an oath, and gave years of our life doing sometimes dangerous things. Along the way, I got an engineering degree, and a big dose of life. We joked that it was trade school, because our "Trade" was going to far off lands and "Killing People and Breaking Things". That was before the elitists turned the military into  AWWW (Aid Workers With Weapons). As my own grandchildren grow, I'm not sure I recommend that path to them,...

"Ron Klain, will not calm fears" - Serious Freaking Understatement [SFU]

Image
You can call him a partisan, but once the polling data comes out, I suspect that it will prove this observation as on point. He supports a proposed travel ban on West African countries that the administration opposes, saying some of its arguments are “absurd.” Murphy also said the so-called Ebola czar that the president appointed to oversee the federal response, Ron Klain, will not calm fears. “The American people are looking for knowledge and expertise,” he told Fox News. “He has none in these fields.” It is a tangential conversation whether we [are yet] to the point where folks should be personally afraid, but putting a PR Flak in charge of the national threat of a Level 4 Contagion sounds like something that Monty Python would do. Ah, just a moment, here we are, The Ministry of Silly Walks .
