Just Some Random Thoughts

Just some random thoughts coming from my baby brain:

• There are so many changes we need to make in the country. From overhauling the mental health system to overhauling police training to overhauling how people treat police to people treating each other with respect. The United States calls itself a beacon of the world but it is seems to me that it is a not the case.
• I have been thinking about this and since the CDC and many businesses are starting dumping the mask/face coverings and are instead relying in the “vaccination honor system”, how many of the anti-mask and anti-vaxxer are just going to lie and not a give a shit about anyone but their fucking self. I am deathly afraid of fucking needles and shots but I took my raggedly ass down to the hospital for both shots. The funny thing is that people I know on the right are all about “the government controlling their body”, “People making their own choices”, “My Body, My Choice”. I can go many ways on this but whatever happened to “The good of many outweigh the good of the one.” Too many people are so about themselves and really don’t give a rat’s ass about others.
• I think that more police officers need to be part of the community instead of being repressors of the community. If police officers start to become part of the fabric of the community then they might be treated with respect in certain communities and not have an adversarial role with people in certain communities. If the police are only there to bust people and not do anything other than that, then people are going not to like them. Whatever happened to police being involved in community events. Doing shit like bringing the police show car, handing out stickers and pencils. I mean I grew up in the hood but I would see the police at community events but I had some respect for the job they did. They were part of the community. It seems like now, police are just hired repressors of the rich. I have respect for the work that police do but I just wish that they were more in the fabric of the community.
• It seems that respect has gone out the window for humans has gone out the window and respect for decency has gone out the window. We are not listening to people who have sense. We are listening to either the nuts on the left or on the right. The people who call in to talk shows or use Twitter all the time. If we can stop listening to them and listen to those who have some sense, then we might get somewhere in this country. I mean I see what is going on in Washington and it makes me want to puke. Our so-called leaders seem that they would fuck up a two-car funeral. Is it about their wants and needs or is about the good of the country.
• Speaking of that, what is it with the Republican Party. I will fully admit that I am not a Republican but I do respect their beliefs. It seems they have gone fuckin’ loco. With voting restriction laws they are passing, it seems that they don’t give a shit about democracy. Now the read this: “Last Friday, the Mississippi Supreme Court overturned the preference of more than 766,000 people on a technicality. The decision came as the result of a lawsuit filed by Mary Hawkins Butler, the GOP mayor of Madison, Miss., and hinged on the wording of the ballot initiative process established in the 1990s. Under those guidelines, petitioners needed to gather one-fifth of their signatures from each of the state’s five congressional districts. However, as of 2000, Mississippi has only four districts, although supporters of medical marijuana gathered signatures according to the old map as a precaution, at the advice of the state attorney general’s office.” In November, nearly 60 percent of Mississippi voters said yes to Ballot Initiative 65, opting to establish a medical marijuana program through an amendment to the state constitution. We are not talking about the recreational use of pot like here in California but using for medical purposes. But here is the crazy part- No one saying anything about the ballot initiative passed in 2011 measure that required voter ID. Oh, that is right the governor of the state is for Voter ID and against using pot for medical purposes.

That is all that is going on in my little baby brain these days. Nothing more, nothing less.
