Logic and Insanity

Did you ever see the frightened ones?
Did you ever hear the falling bombs?

Insanity is the repetition of an action with an expectation of a different outcome.
Logic is what man kind uses to stave off insanity and recognize that repeated actions have the same effect.
That said I have realized that I am rather tired of reading through peoples journals, more specifically, when said people are very politically and closed minded.
I rather hate when a person can claim every day that no one else thinks for themselves just because they agree with a particular political group. I hate to tell them that no idea is a new idea and everyone will have someone that agrees with them in some way.
Example I have been called a Nazi and a fascist in the past, simply because I believe that the armed forces must be strong and well funded. I think that we can never expect any other government to act peacefully if it isn't in their best interests.
I think that Social systems need to be cut drastically to remove the dependance on the government, and I follow a lot of Conservative and Republican beliefs.
That does not mean I only believe in that way, because I disagree with them on a lot of issues too.
One such is that Man is the best creature to exist, that God made man in only one way, and that man should blindly follow these teachings because it is moral.
I despise fundamental religion be it Catholicism, Protestantism, Judaism, Islam, or any other.
I feel Morality should be based on what is best for man kind as a whole. Most conservatives would be sick if they saw my opinions on hybridization between humanity and animals. I believe that morality in science should extend only as far as to stop things that would only harm humanity, and anything that can be done to enrich human life should be done. Even if that means changing what human is.
I really dislike when people don't do their research. One example being that many people think wolves are endangered. They are not. The only species of wolf that is not listed as Least Concern is the Red Wolf, with a population lower than 300 world wide. All other species are thriving in most places. There are a few that are regionally endangered, but the species as a whole is not at risk.
Is it wrong to wipe wolves out in Montana and Wyoming and such places? Yes, but to claim it is wrong based on the false assumption that wolves are endangered is just as wrong. It is more proper to say that wolves are a vital link in keeping the balance with nature. There are no wolves in Alabama, and we have massive over population of deer. Wolves need not be killed, wolves need only be moved and spread across those places that once had them in such abundance.
Regionally speaking the wolves in Yellowstone and nearby have been recovered. They are thriving actually and this has ranchers worried that wolves will kill off their food source and move to the next available thing, cattle. These are the people pushing the mass culling of wolves. Hunters recognize that wolves keep their deer and such healthy, they are being used, however, as the scapegoat and tool for the culling.
People who claim to be informed should do a lot more research and actually talk with the people they claim are ignorant before they pass judgement.

I have people telling me that I have no right/reason to have a CWP. or have a firearm, after all that's what the cops are for.. their words "the cops are there to protect us!" They look at me dumb struck when I tell them they are wrong, the cops are only there to clean up the mess after something happens, like they are dead because they thought someone else should look after their welfare.

Our town has massive gang trouble, I don't leave my house without my gun affixed to my side and my jacket keeping it covered. Only place I don't carry is where I can't carry, and I do my damnedest to avoid going those places.
So you don't want free healthcare? I just don't understand all this socialist dislike from the US.

Just to know, are you religious? I'm curious.
As far as religion goes, I was raised Roman Catholic, and until the current papacy, I was a practicing Catholic. However there have been certain policy changes in the church I do not agree with and I have stopped attending masses. I still follow the path I followed before, but I don't go to church.
I do know however that in Canada, waiting times are horrible, both in emergency rooms and for organ transplant. I do not know of a good solution for the transplant problem, however I do know of one way to dramatically reduce the traffic in the emergency rooms. We should simply do it like the Dutch, there is universal health care, but the first 200$ are on you. That will avoid parents from bringing their child in because they fell and scraped their knee. Essentially it prevents people from using hospital as a free clinic.
I was raised catholic too, although I can't say much more past that. We went to mass once or twice a month or so, my sister and me went to a catholic school, so we did religious stuff around Easter and Christmas and all that, prayers read in the morning, but that was about it. I never believed, and only recently found out I was an atheist instead of a non-believing christian :p
As for mass, that's perfectly fine! If god can read your thoughts and see your heart, what does one need of the church to commune with him? Religion is for god, but churches are for man.
