Dangerous thinking indeed:

HERE

Ice for the south, REAL cold for the north.

One would think, from the media coverage, that this was the first time that it had ever gotten cold like this. I expect that the coverage is the same in the south.

Cold is no joke, it can kill you.  You can lose fingers and toes.

Ice is no joke, it makes for downed power lines and very slick travel.  Lots of folks in the middle of the country will get a lot of ice and they might be dark for a week or so.

But at the end of it, it is what most of us call “Winter” and one simply has to prepare for it, and be smart enough to deal with it.

If not, as I was taught so many years ago….”Darwin is always waiting”.

But I grow tired of the hype from the Media. It is like most things in life: either yer gonna be smart enough to prepare for it or you aren’t. You are either gonna be smart enough to dress to handle the conditions, or you aren’t, and yer gonna get hurt if not.

I recommend everyone have enough snacks and easily prepared food…..And enough booze of your choice to weather the storm ahead.

“A society in which the citizens fear the police has issues”

“Your choice of what to do next matters more than the mistake you last made”

“Education is the one thing you should never finish”

“Work like hell, Close a deal with a handshake, and have fun in life”

“If you don’t schedule your priorities, someone else will”

“That which you allow is what will continue”

“Do that which you fear most and the death of fear is certain”

Yeah, It’s a busy time…Sorry

I find it interesting that all the ICE crap started blowing up just a bit after the Somali welfare fraud (that we have known about for several years, but that for some reason the Federal government, as well as several state governments (besides Minnesota) have been quietly ignoring) got exposed by a YouTube journalist….

Almost as if they are trying to make us forget about the BILLIONS of dollars that are defrauded every year from the states and the Federal government and shipped (as cash) overseas….

I think they are hoping that they can distract us with the ICE “abuses” and that we will forget the rest.

Strange that. Almost as if they are getting their cut or something. Odd…

But, like Pepperidge Farm, I remember.

On this MLK day:

I laughed out loud when I read this one.

(Note: Messing with the ICE folks is gonna get someone hurt…..)

All you ICE protesters: Be committed to change, not just winy protests and complaining like 8th grade girls.

If the protesters against ICE (currently in Minneapolis) really had any guts, and really wanted to make a difference, they’d step up and actually DO something….put their bodies in front of the ICE agents…Or start bringing baseball and golf equipment to their protests for kinetic demonstrations of their disapproval. If they really want to dissuade the ICE agents, they need to become more serious about it. ( Note: It is NOT a good idea to do so). Protesting is useless.  Action makes a difference. Maybe fight back with your own pepper spray and pepperball guns. Stand for something. (Warning, this might get you shot or worse)

They could, at least for a time, make a change……..rather than just wasting their time blowing whistles, honking horns, chanting, etc…Being what they think of as brave Protest Warriors, (and ineffective ones at that) isn’t gonna do anything.  Either step up and DO something, or go home. You aren’t all that brave and are not at all effective doing the things you are doing. So stop being a pain in the ass and make a difference. (Might get your ass kicked)

There always seem to be about 5 times the protesters than there are ICE agents. They need to step up  and make it personal  …they could pile on, get physical, and actually make a difference (for a time). OF course, that might escalate things, but still. As long as they are just an irritation, they won’t change things. (starting stuff with armed men, unless you have overwhelming force, is probably a bad idea). But stop just protesting and being a useless pain in the ass. Stop just chanting and shouting slogans and insults and make a difference with action, or go home.  Get in or get out (I suggest the smart thing to do is get out, go home….)

Will that change the equation? Yes, but it would also actually be DOING something, not just being a pain in the ass.

What you are doing now, no matter how good it makes you feel is useless and a waste of time. You aren’t saving anyone this way.

Step up or step off, as it were.

So do I
