What I think

 There was a post on our neighborhood website, asking that people not put out peanuts for the critters because someone's child was allergic. The responses ranged from; oh, i hadn't thought of that to i'll feed the squirrels whatever I want.   Now I am all for watching out for others but seriously why do I have to cater to every whiners wishes. If you have allergies don't pick up the peanut shells. Simple. Don't make it everyone else's problem. As with all things, you should be responsible for you. You can also be considerate of others but if everyone took care of themselves without whining or complaining and making it everyone else's problems the world would be a much nicer place.

 Apparently, the OR senate voted that rescue pets should be the state animal. Because, there is nothing else more important they could be doing.

 This week, in the news, an Or representative complained that he had been stopped by police twice over a few days and that in his lifetime he had been stopped some 40 times. This, of course, was because he was black. He did admit that in the most recent stops he was going 11 miles over the posted speed limit and the next time because he was using his phone. Why, when you are committing a crime would you jump right to racist cops when you are stopped? I don't know about the first 40 stops but it seems the last 2 were valid. He didn't even get ticket. Because he was black, a politician, a whiner? Who knows? As a representative of a pro crime anti police state he should also be aware that the only thing cops have to do is write tickets.  That seems to be the public view anyway. When you can drive a few blocks and see 3 cops with cars pulled over you tend to think that.

 The government and those who think they know; don't want gas for heating or cooking or driving, they don't want animals because these are all bad for the environment. Apparently they want you to walk and eat bugs. Nothing they are doing is good for the people.  And then they build on every single piece of green land they can find. Housing that is not helping the homeless or people working 3 jobs because they still can't afford it. So who are you saving the planet for?

 I heard a news report that said some OR representative offered a bill that would amend the state constitution and give parents the right to have a say in their childrens education and other things. The government thinks it has to give parents the right to raise their children. Seriously. How dare they. Parents should have all rights over their children and unless they are abusing their children they should have it without government intervention.  I would not want any member of any government have any say over my kids. But this is OR and the government seems to think it knows best so I don't imagine this bill will go anywhere. I tried to fire them but the whiners of the state keep them so they can keep being lazy and get handouts.
