The Medical Grift

The medical industry in the US is probably one of the biggest grifts of all time.

I say this because they have been very successful at keeping Americans insanely unhealthy while simultaneously selling drugs that are supposed to cure them of their unhealthy ways.  Yes, the food industry is complacent in all of this, but organizations like the American Medical Association or the American Heart Association should be lobbying in Congress to ban things like corn syrup and demanding that processed food meet healthier standards.  They’d also demand that the food stamp program limit itself to organic foods.

Instead, they are very clearly looking to make as much money as they can from the average American while keeping them just healthy enough to live to age 70.  Then they do a prescription drug bomb on the idiots who are stuck in Medicare which probably does more harm than good in the long term.  And then they all end up in nursing homes where they don’t bother feeding the elderly folks good food, just slop and pudding.

Meanwhile, if I get sick, I go to the doctor and the doctor runs tests.  If the tests come back negative, I’m told to eat shit and go home with no prescriptions for antibiotics or anything else.  Nevermind that if I started taking antibiotics right around then, I might be able to avoid getting a serious infection down the road.  But that’s why I was sent home.

Because they’ll make more money if I have to come back to the office.

It’s the same with my kids.  Doctors don’t give a flying fuck about what the parents say and oftentimes flat out ignore you when discussing your child’s health.  It is astounding to watch as these pompous assholes sit there and lecture you on nearly every aspect of child-rearing while having a bulletin board of nonsense in the background like how breast milk contains more mercury than vaccines (if I have to explain to you the difference between ingestion and injection, you’re a moron or a liar).

At the same time, priorities in care often favor the people groups with the most unhealthy lifestyles.  This may be inadvertent, but I’ve noticed that the gay community gets special treatment, probably because they have so many stupidly avoidable health problems.  I remember reading a story about how there were gay men getting unidentifiable stomach parasites from rimming each other and they were getting doled out antibiotics as if they were candy.  But try getting that same medicine for your child.  You have a better chance of escaping a hippo attack on the Nile while riding a log raft.

This isn’t limited to the gay community either.  My mother works at a hospital and related a story about a woman who shows up every couple of weeks because she has Type-II Diabetes and refuses to properly take care of herself.  So she’s in the hospital for free treatments for something she could easily have fixed herself.

And then the COVID thing hit and the entire medical industry went fucking insane.  Or maybe the masks of sanity were just discarded.

The hospital policies were taken directly from government bureaucrats, who were lying, and then they stacked their own policies on top, like prioritizing treatments for blacks and Hispanics.  Because Martin Luthor King, Jr. said so or some bullshit like that.  Also George Floyd mumbled something about it just before he choked to death on Fentanyl.

Economically, the United States Medical Industry isn’t Socialist nor is it Capitalist.  One could hardly call it Corporatist either since even those rules don’t seem to apply.  I don’t know what economic model you could fit it into, but I’m sure whoever figures it out should win a Nobel Prize.  And no, these problems will not be fixed with Medicare for All because that just gives the greedy executives a permanent stream of income and no incentive to improve care.

A fully unregulated and non-subsidized Medical Industry won’t solve these problems either.  This is because the problem with medical care is largely due to our cultural attitudes towards it.  We need to stop treating medical care like it’s a necessity in our lives, encourage each other to eat healthier, and only go see the doctor when we are sick.  If you have a prescription medicine, look into possible alternatives.

And we need to make most drugs available over the counter.  That whole system is simply stupid to begin with because some over the counter drugs are much more dangerous than drugs that you have to acquire via prescription.  Imagine how much time you would save if you could just buy your antibiotics at a local drug store without a prescription?

Anyhow, I think a big shift will be taking place soon enough.  The whole COVID “pandemic” incident has awaken a lot of Americans to the high-levels of corruption in the American medical system.  Hopefully, that will translate into better healthcare for all and a better system.

Healthcare to Remain Unaffordable

Now that the Obamacare repeal is dead, the Republican party has effectively decided that they want to lose their seats next November.

Apparently, disdain for President Trump trumps actually winning for them.

I am disappointed in Congress and I hope that President Trump blasts them hard in the State of the Union.  My health care premiums are now about 650 a month after the 50% my company pays for.  Just a few years ago, I had a plan that was 250 a month total.

Republicans aren’t leaders.  They are losers who wish to absolve themselves of all responsibility while trying to pretend to be leaders.

This is the same thing I’ve seen in the corporate world.  No one wants to stand for anything because to do so would mean you are engaging in leadership and would have to be responsible for the decisions you make.

This is all part of our cultural rot.  Everyone wants to have the freedom to have fun and enjoy life but we refuse to take responsibility for our actions.

The Republicans and Democrats would rather rape children than provide affordable healthcare for the ever-dwindling middle class.  Keep that in mind when more leaks about the degenerate behavior they engage in comes out.  They would rather dry hump cocktail waitresses instead of protecting this country.

We are living in an aristocracy, not a democracy or a republic.  The mere fact that Donald Trump is a miracle from God.  He’s never been an aristocrat, which is why the Republicans oppose him and undermine him.

Fuck those guys.

The Childish Prez

In what comes as no surprise to anyone who has half a brain and a lick of common sense, Barack Obama has declared that it isn’t his fault that health insurance premiums are rising:

President Barack Obama offers multiple excuses for why health insurance premiums continue to skyrocket, including blaming Republicans and insurance companies for the problems.

He complains that too many reporters spend more time discussing premium increases than explaining why he isn’t responsible for them.

“No, I had nothing to do with that,” Obama said, calling it “complicated” despite the “hysteria” that was growing.

Regardless of the actual cause of rising health insurance premiums, President Obama should be taking responsibility for it.  It was under his administration that massive healthcare reform was rammed down our throats with promises of keeping our doctors and insurance plans.

To date, the President has failed to take any kind of responsibility for his failures.  Instead we are given a wide range of excuses and presidential whining, which makes me wonder how the Hell this guy ever got any position of power in the first place.

If you are a leader, a true leader who inspires people, you take ownership of the problems that occur on your watch.  We all answer to someone, even the President has to answer to the people (in theory anyway).  And a true sign of a mature person is one who admits his failings, takes ownership of them, and accepts the ultimate consequences of them.

But today, we live in a society where our representative democracy is used instead as a kind of consequence sink, absorbing the ill consequences of the self destructive behaviors of selected groups of people.  From bailing out banks to providing EBT cards to people who by all rights should be starving in the streets, we have a government that refuses to recognize personal responsibility.

So it should be no wonder that when our President whines about who it isn’t his fault that there were terrible consequences to his own policies.

An Important Talk

Son, it is time I talked to you about women.  Not the sex talk that every father should talk to you about because I am certain that you’ve already learned much of that from friends and the Internet.

No, it is time I talked to you about how women operate and how they think.  This is not an easy thing to talk with you about because I will be relating some harsh truths for you.  Plus, everything I tell you will be contradicted by most other men and women alike.

Women, for the most part, are very pragmatic when it comes to romance.  What this means is that they are not the sex who seeks out to be romantic.  You’ll notice that when women claim they want romance, they often are unwilling to engage in it themselves and instead want you to expend resources in order to “romance” them.

This is not a bad thing, just a reality.  For them, romance is a show not of affection or love, but of the status of your ability to provide for them and how much you are willing to spend on them.

Since the beginning of mankind, men have always been the provider.  Women have been the child-bearer and manager of the provided resources.  Now, this dynamic is not exact and the roles vary depending on the individual couple you look at, but in general this has been the case.

That is why, for instance, you have societies where men have more than one wife.  In those cases, it is a status symbol for a man who has a lot of wealth and resources.

So when you go on dates, always be mindful that she is evaluating your ability to provide her with stuff.

The other thing you have to keep in mind is that you must also be attractive to women.  This means you must present yourself well.  You must be confident, even if you feel that pit in your stomach, and you must always keep your focus on her eyes when talking to her.  If you show weakness or awkwardness, you might amuse her but you will not be able to attract her in any meaningful way.

There is a lot you can do in this regard but the point is you might have to fake your confidence if you wish to attract another woman.

As you get older, you may find yourself wanting to find a wife rather than just another “girlfriend”.  You are fortunate in that you live in a time where you get to chose who you wish to marry rather than simply accept someone you mother and I select for you.  Not that we would make a bad decision.

Dating for the purposes of finding a wife is more like a screening process.  There are a lot of things that you can leave to personal taste but I would like to make a few recommendations so that you don’t find yourself with a woman you can’t stand to be with.

Understand that marriage requires sacrifices for both the husband and the wife.  For the husband, he is giving up his freedom and his resources while at the same time assuming a leadership role nobody really trains him for.  For the wife, she is giving up her freedom, hopefully her virginity, and her beauty to a man.

Knowing this dynamic is how you can better screen out women.

First of all, if she has had a lot of sex in the past before meeting you, she isn’t worth the trouble of marrying.  Yes, she’s experienced.  She’s also probably damaged and very likely to divorce you down the road.  Now, most women average out to about 3 partners before marriage, and while there is some risk of divorce there, it is less than if she has more than 5.

Secondly, dump her as soon as you find out if she has had an abortion.  Women who have had abortions aren’t interested in sacrificing for the good of a family.

Thirdly, don’t worry about trying to be a good Christian to women, even Christian women.  Women tend to have a subjective moral code.  Good Christian women have been known to compromise their beliefs in order to fulfill their emotional desires, oftentimes with devastating results.  That is one of the burdens of being a husband and a father: that you must maintain a solid moral code for you and your family.

However, any woman who has no qualms about compromising her moral code, even against your wishes, will not suddenly submit to your headship after taking a vow.

Fourth, you shouldn’t worry so much about what she does for a living, but you should concern yourself with her spending habits.  Women do spend much more than men, which is why marketing often targets women, but at the same time if she is irresponsible with her money, she will be irresponsible with your money once you are married.

Lastly, never stick around with a woman who cheats on you.  Ditch her and never look back.  If you can, don’t even associate with her friends.

I am no expert son, but at the same time, this is what experience and the experiences of others have taught me.  Any fool can learn from his own mistakes.  But a truly wise person learns from the mistakes of others.  So understand the mistakes of others and do not make them yourself.

I want to finish this up by saying that I am not trying to discourage you in finding yourself a wife.  It is always a risk and there is always the divorce of Damocles hanging over your head.  But the rewards are much better and much more fulfilling.  The only downside of divorce is that you may miss out on your kids and you may end up paying your ex-wife for the rest of your life.  But understand that as a man, things will get better for you as you grow older.  For women, they do not.

So take the risk within reason.  Do not go for the crazy slut or the tattooed floosy.  And always be ready to leave her should her behavior unworthy of your affections.

And lastly, do not fear women nor fear being alone in life.  There are worse things.

Man Up and Fight Back

As a man in the Western civilization, I’ve often heard people telling other men to “man-up”.  Usually, the context of this revolves around men not doing what women want them to do and other men trying to shame them into being what women what men to be.

But when men fight back, I mean really fight back, suddenly we’re not manly or living up to our expectations as men.  I find this whole notion disgusting and demeaning to men everywhere.

Men need to fight back when they are confronted with injustices against them.  When their wives decide to divorce them, they need to get over the emotions they feel, hire a bulldog of a lawyer, and go for the legal throat.  When your wife declares that your marriage is over and she wants to leave, she has effectively declared war on you.

When a man doesn’t pay child support because he can’t afford to do so, he is called a deadbeat by society.  Because in our sick society, the only way you can show love to your children is through money.

Marriage in Western Society is considered a social dating contract, one that can be severed at any time by a woman whenever she doesn’t feel haaapy.  And then the family court system is set up to strip a man of his productivity and give it to his ex-wife.  This makes him the provider without the benefit of sex to his family.  What’s left of it anyway.

It is time for men to rise up and fight back.  Do everything in your power to stop these abuses as best you can.  When you are attacked, go to war with the enemy.  It could be your wife wanting a divorce, your co-worker seeking to impose his or her twisted moral code on the office, or it could be some politician trying to enslave in some minor way (like making you clear a sidewalk owned by the local government).

Fight back as best as you can.  This need not be violent confrontations like the militia in Oregon, although I sympathize with them as they seemed to have very little recourse.

But really, all you have to do is stand up for yourself.

If only one-third of American men stood up and said, “Enough!”, we’d see a huge shift in our culture, public policy, and our collective dignity and self-respect.

I leave you with the following example from the movie Changing Lanes:

925

I’ve written in the past that your employment is a contract between yourself and your employer.  In a white collar, highly skilled job, you will find yourself working a 40 hour work week that follows an obsolete labor model.

This is fundamental to the nature of labor.  What you are doing when you are getting hired is negotiating the only asset you have, your time, in exchange for money.  The job you are doing is not your job but the company’s job which has been assigned to you in exchange for your time.

For everyone in the labor market, time is currency.

The trouble is, skilled white collar labor is not exactly something that you can measure in both time and money.  This is especially true when it comes to engineering type labor where the tangible benefits of their products cannot be measured until long after a project has completed.

In other types of labor, mostly blue collar, measuring an employee’s time against the task they perform.  If you spend 8 hours on an assembly line, behind a cash register, or taking support calls, there is a tangible measurement your labor.  You worked 8 hours and therefore deserve 8 hours worth of compensation.

But for the salaried, skilled employee, the benefits are less tangible.  What is worse is that sometimes an employee will imagine that working more, essentially giving away his or her time for free, will allow them to advance in their career path.  This is not always the case and can sometimes even backfire.

What you need to understand is that if your employer is measuring your labor value by time, as nearly all of them do, a salaried worker need only work the time that is expected, usually 40 hours a week.  Beyond that, you are giving your time away to your employer for free.

While I do advocate that people be hard-working, as idle hands and thoughts are the devil’s playthings as evidenced by many of the YouTube idiots, I do also advocate that you be a smart worker and get paid for your time.

Because time is really the only asset you have to barter with.  Top-level executives usually understand this and know this, but many middle and bottom-level employees do not.

Don’t be an Alice.  It isn’t rewarded.

Don’t be a Wally.  It leads to emptiness.

Be a Dilbert.  A worker who knows his value and works up to that value.

And being brutally honest is always a plus too.

Debtor Nation

I’m not paying the national debt.  My children will not either.  And if I do things right, their children won’t either.

You see, only the government can saddle its citizens with debt.  It’s worse than spending other people’s money; it is literally borrowing based on future projected earnings of other people’s money.

If I did this, I would be in prison for fraud.  But since the government makes the rules, they can also make it so that nothing they do is illegal.

In the simplest terms though, I do not owe a single solitary penny of the national debt.  Neither do you or any other productive taxpayer.  This is because the government is, in and of itself, a corporation.  As such, it has the rights of a person and therefore only the government owes the money.

But you want to know what the ironic thing is?

The government owns more of its own debt than China.  Yes, you hear about how China owns billions of dollars of the national debt.

But the US Federal government owns more.  Somewhere around two trillion.  If we include the Federal Reserve, that number hits damn near close to 5 trillion.

So the truth is, the United States is taking out loans on itself.  Like the Ouroboros, it is feeding on itself but instead of diminishing, it just keeps on getting bigger.

And nobody seems to be none the wiser.  Everyone just looks at the big numbers failing to realize that much of the national debt could be wiped out tomorrow by simply defaulting on what the government owes itself.

It doesn’t matter anyway.  The national debt will not be paid back.  The US government will default on all of it sooner or later.

Will the economy collapse in the process.  Probably.  I’m not financial expert myself, but too much of our economic activity is tied to government services.  So not being able to get reimbursed properly for services rendered does put a damper on things.

My advice is to get out of businesses which cater to the Federal government, especially ones whose sole source of revenue comes from government contracts.  Also, shred your credit cards and start saving money.  Invest in rental properties if you can.

But that is amateur, common sense advice.  As for the big picture, always remember that total collapses are gradual, not spontaneous.  Rome wasn’t built in a day but it also didn’t collapse in a day either.  It took generations before it was finally abandoned to the wolves.

The same will be true of the United States given our current path.

Nothing is Private Online

So apparently the Ashley Madison site has been hacked.  For those of us who don’t care much for dating sites, Ashley Madison is a website that allows married people to hook up with other people who are not their spouses.  And now a hacker group is threatening to release the hacked data to the public unless the site is shut down permanently.

While I could care less about the outcome of all of this, the incident does reinforce the idea that nothing you do online is private, no matter what guarantee is provided by the service you are using.  No matter where your data is, no matter how its encrypted, it will be hacked eventually.

Look, there are a good chunk of human beings out there who are total douchebags.  They are unlikeable people who hate humanity in general and most people they meet in person.  And so they will make it their quest to make everyone else as miserable as they are.

The Internet is a great tool for passing and receiving information.  You can set up events, meetings, and even extra-martial affairs.  At the same time, nothing should be considered private because there is probably at least one crazy asshole who has access to everything.

So make sure that you don’t take nude pics, you don’t pay for porn online, and you don’t join up questionable social media circles.  Because if you ever desire to take on any kind of controversial issue, chances are you will be exposed for the pervert that you are.

So please do keep that in mind when your girlfriend asks for a picture of your dick or Claudia sends you an e-mail about how she is lonely and needs your attention (despite the ample women who seem more interested in her than you do).

Nothing on the Internet is private.  Always remember that.

Standards

Is there nothing more annoying to modern women than having standards?  To the modern woman, a man who has any kind of standards in a person he wishes to date or marry is considered to be a pig.  Like all women are the same and really just interchangeable holes for men to have fun with.  That’s the logical implication of what they are saying.

So when a man expresses his interest in thin blonde women with blue eyes or a full-formed redhead with green eyes, he’s suddenly a pig.  But when a woman is sexually harassed by a Clooney lookalike, he is given a pass because he’s a hunk.

This is the true nature of female hypergamey as I understand it.  When the sexual marketplace is placed in women’s hands, they pine for the top 20% of guys, who are all too willing to bang their brains out, while ignoring men who are at their sexual marketplace value.

And as much as I would like for women to wake up and realize that they need to not chase after the Alphas, that’s an unrealistic fantasy.  So instead I recommend that men everywhere understand this and start to do things that will ensure their own happiness with women in the future.

For one thing, learn Game.  This will help understand women.  It may be repulsive to you.  It may seem dishonest.  But it perfectly illustrates how women think and what you need to do in order to secure a relationship with them.

Another thing is to get in shape.  Too many men are outlived by their wives.  A large consequence of this is probably due to poor health on a man’s part because he’s got his sexual contract.  But these days, you need to keep in shape in order to provide Dread Game (which is instilling the fear that you don’t need her) on a near constant basis.  A well-built muscular man in his 40s is more attractive than a flabby hipster in his 20s.

You should probably grow a beard.  This is a personal preference but a beard represents masculinity.  Men without beards are like children all grown up.  If you can’t grow a beard, don’t fret.  Like being too short or too tall, consider it a disability in Game that you need to overcome.

Finally, when starting a long term relationship of some kind, make sure you clarify what your expectations are from her on the first date or gathering.  If you don’t, she’ll define them for you and you’ll end up holding her goddamn purse while she bangs a NFL quarterback in the Mall restroom (not a true story as far as I know).

So have standards.  Having standards puts you in a leadership role and defines your destiny.  Don’t let women define them for you because it shows weakness in your leadership skills.

And weakness in leadership skills is largely why the divorce rate is so high these days.

Immaturity

A few years ago, I remember Dave Ramsey saying that one sign of maturity is the ability to hold off on the things you want.  Certainly this is one sign.

But let me give you another sign: the ability to accept the responsibilities that come with the perks.  Let me explain: in real life, the more perks you acquire usually come with higher responsibilities.

If you buy a house, for example, you are now responsible to maintain that house.  While living in the house is a perk, you have the responsibility to ensure that it doesn’t fall apart on you.  Of course this is something that directly effects you and very few people neglect their own places of residence.

When you move up the corporate ladder (what little of it remains) you gain perks like a higher salary but you also gain responsibility for the people who work under you.  This means that if they fail, you fail with them.  At least, that is usually how it goes, but there are always exceptions.

I am thoroughly convinced that this civilization is moving away from that model in nearly all aspects of life, save a few, namely, the angry, productive white males.  I know, being an “angry productive white male” myself means that I am now spouting racism.

The truth is, if you look at nearly every other group besides APWMs, you’ll find that nearly every one of them want all the perks without any of the responsibilities.  This can be seen in how they collectively vote and who they are voting for.

Voting for the politician who promises things like safety or welfare or getting your fair share or whatever other nonsense that involves taking money from the productive and giving it to the moocher and looter is, in essence, an immature vote.

Feminism itself is immature.  We see this in how they cry for equality but turn around and outright oppress men when given authority to do so.  It’s like the nerd kid who suddenly develops superpowers and decides to brutally murder the bullies who tormented him.

We see this with welfare recipients who leech off of the productive and use their extra disposable income, of which they have more than the productive, to buy expensive clothes, phones, and other accessories.

In a nation where 45%+ of the obese are also poor, we find ourselves feeling bad for the people who are obviously well fed and laughing all the way to the Wal-Mart, where the EBT system has shut down and they are allowing looters to loot.

There was a reason that originally only land-owning men could vote in the United States.  It was because the Founding Fathers understood that women would primarily vote out of envy and that people who didn’t own land probably didn’t make very good decisions in general.  I know, that’s a generalization, but it is sadly true.

From the single mom with three kids with three different baby daddies to the corporate executive who demands a bailout because he ran his company into the ground, we are seeing unprecedented levels of immaturity.

And our democracy is only going to enable and embolden it.

The Long Forgotten Virtue of Mistrust

The Russians have a saying: don’t do business with other Russians.  I learned of it when I talked with a Russian former co-worker of mine about how Hispanics will specifically request a Spanish-speaking salesman when doing business.

This is just one cultural difference really.  Most Westerners know that everyone has an angle of some kind and there is no loyalty among European-Americans.  I wonder if this is why Europe and the United States have excelled at building civilization: we simply don’t trust each other.

Think about it.  Most of the decisions we make are affected by how others will treat us.  If we always default to the assumption that everyone is out to screw us, we are much more cautious in how we deal with people.  In doing so, we protect ourselves from harm.

When dealing with a salesman, for example, it is important to remember that he or she doesn’t give a flip about you.  They are only interested in getting a big commission.  So they will try and navigate you into a more expensive sale as best they can.

Also, they probably didn’t wash their hands after they used the bathroom.  Don’t shake their hands.

The point is, one of the foundations of modern civilization was an inherent mistrust of other people.  This ensured private property rights and just about every other kind of right that we are naturally endowed with.  Because those rights are asserted on the assumption that other people wish to take them away from us.

Many other cultures do not recognize these rights precisely because many of them inherently trust each other, usually because of racial homogeny.  It is a call back to the tribal origins of their society where each tribe had to trust each other in order to bring about the survival of the tribe.

Mistrust, it seems to me, is a close virtue that modern men should embrace.  If you do not trust others, you can be better prepared for the worse case scenarios.

This goes beyond just business.  Do not trust anything that your government says, that your church says, that your news anchor says.  I’m not saying that they are lying, but I am saying that they could be.  The government especially lies nearly all the time.  Politicians have no concept of objective truth and are willing to sacrifice children if it means gaining power and prestige.

Mistrust is a virtue.  Always remember that.  Use it to protect yourself from the evil of others.

Sympathy for Murderous Women

A female student admits to murderous intentions but gets nothing but sympathy (emphasis mine):

A female student from Nakura in Kenya, who studies at Kabarak University, has disclosed that she has infected a total of 324 men with the AIDS causing virus – Human Immunodeficiency (HIV). She has apparently got infected with the dreaded virus at a party by a man. Now this girl wants revenge and is planning to infect at least 2000 healthy men.

If new reports are to be believed this girl, whose identity is not yet known confessed on Facebook through Kenyan Scandals. She called them with the claim that she had something to reveal. She wanted her identity protected. Once she got this assurance she stated that it all happened on 22nd of September 2013, a day she said she would never forget. She said she had gone to the club in town with some senior friends and got drunk. They all returned to the hostels to continue partying there. She woke up the next morning and realized that a boy named Javan had sexual intercourse with her. She had been completely out as she was drunk.

But the Kenyan Daily Post did reveal her identity perhaps in the interest of the innocent people around. The paper published a photo of her profile on Facebook along with the article.

She had asked Javan that morning, if he had had a condom on and Javan had assured her that he had indeed taken the precaution. But later when she was in the shower she realized there was some semen down there. She became very frightened that she might either get pregnant or get infected by some disease like HIV. She was so terrified that she even contemplated suicide.

Her world came shattering down when she tested HIV positive. When confronted Javan said he was clean and that she might have got the infection from someone else. The girl then went into depression and started drinking. She even contemplated consuming poison as she did not know how to face the world. She had obviously let her parents down badly. So she wanted to take her life and end all the suffering.

Soon she started thinking that her future was actually ruined by some man and someone had to pay for it. She started accepting her situation for what it was but promised to herself that she will make all the men out there suffer. She knew she was very hot and attractive. Both married and unmarried men anyway chased her everywhere. So she quietly buried the good girl within her and took on a different and bad persona. She then aimed at getting as many men as possible infected with HIV.

She now claims to have passed on the infection to 324 men. Around 156 of them are students at her university and the rest are lawyers, celebrities, politicians, lecturers and other married men. According to her she has sex with at least four people in a day. Her aim is to infect at least 2000 men as she believes that they destroyed her life and she has to go after them with the weapon she has – HIV.

The bold paragraphs say it all.  We are supposed to feel sorry for this slut because she got AIDS from one of her random sexual encounters and now she infects several men with her own disease.

This is called murder, pure and simple.  If you knowingly infect someone else with a deadly disease that has no cure, then you have committed murder.

If this was a man, he would be demonized for his behavior.  Instead, we get nothing but sympathy for her in the article.

It makes me sick that humanity has such a low tolerance for murder.  This woman should be locked up in prison awaiting trial for hundreds of counts of attempted murder.

Sadly, this is not the way of our world right now.

Vaccine Choice

More in vaccination news.  Apparently, a popular celebrity named Kristin Cavallari said that she isn’t vaccinating her child.  She cites, among other things, her concerns about autism and it’s link to vaccines.

I know, the science is settled, according to government scientists.  They insist that we inject several concoctions into our children which are said to prevent certain diseases, many of which are treatable and non-fatal.

But I’d like to make a few observations here:

• For one thing, Kristin Cavallari is not harming anyone by not vaccinating her child.  Her own child can make that the decision to get all those vaccinations later in life.  The risks for most of the diseases that her child can get are very low and even contracting some of them poses no long-term health effects.
• When I was a child, by the age of six, I had 10 vaccinations.  The current vaccine schedule from the CDC requires 38 vaccinations by the age of six.  You cannot reasonably tell me that this is sane as hygiene habits have changed very little since then.  What possible justification could the CDC have for demanding children get 4x the number of injections that we got when we were younger.
• That being said, how does not vaccinating children endanger other children who are vaccinated?  This is a surprisingly common argument and illustrates just how stupid people are.
• Most illnesses that kids get are ones that cannot be vaccinated against.  The flu, for example, is something that cannot be vaccinated against.  The common cold is another thing.  In many cases, kids get sick from things that cannot be vaccinated against.
• Vaccines do contain harmful materials like mercury.  And most doctors justify it by saying such ridiculous things like children getting 5x the doses of mercury from breast milk than vaccines.  Like we’re not supposed to understand the difference between the ingestion process and the injection process.  Sadly, a lot of people probably have no idea what I just said.
• The flu vaccine is nothing more than a crap shoot.  Every year a different strain is suspected to be dominant and so vaccine manufacturers just pick one based informed predictions.  They are literally playing weatherman with your health in this regard.  And every year they try and scare all of us into taking them.  Sorry, but I’d rather not trust my health to some executive in a vaccine firm and a government agent.
• Keep in mind that the vaccine schedule is brought to us by people who refuse to report the relevant stats on things like unborn baby deaths related to vaccine usage.
• Bill Gates has openly stated that vaccines are a great way to reduce the population.  Whether he means to directly poison people or just covertly sterilize them shouldn’t matter as he is a man with a lot of means.  So when a powerful man who believes that all of us should die off through vaccines, it makes me wonder what he is doing about it.

I could go on, but it’s the end of the day for me.  I am not anti-vaccine, but I am not pro-vaccine either.  I am a vaccine skeptic.  I have a young son now and I have to make my own vaccine schedule because I don’t trust the government’s own schedule due to the fact that the government is always lying.  So far, he has been much more healthy than his fully vaccinated cousin, who is six months older than him.  To be fair, my son doesn’t go to daycare, so that is a huge factor as well.

The hysteria against people who do not wish to overdose their kids with dead viruses (and dead baby cells) is astounding though.  I am amazed at how much malice people have against parents who do not vaccinate their children.  And when anti-vaccine advocates do try to get more scientific studies done, they are met with fear and malice.

It makes me wonder who is right in all of this.  When one side responds to a debate with irrationality, I often find that the more rational side is right.  And the pro-vaccine people have been much more irrational than the anti-vaccine people.

The War On Husbands

I read a very frustrating article today entitled “What Do You When A Girl Hits You?”.  It recounted a husband, Joseph Kerr, who went to the police after having been beaten by his wife.  Unfortunately, because he was the man, the police arrested him and now he is unable to even see his daughter.  The State saw fit to deny him the protection his daughter deserves while allowing her to stay with a clearly violent and unstable women.  I shudder to think of what will happen to the girl.

And while that article enraged me, I think the implication is clear: the government is at war with husbands.  Not men.  They are fine with men, so long as they watch football, drink beer, have the occasional barbeque, vote, and pay taxes in some manner.  As long as men are lethargic and stay away from conflict, from engaging people, and from standing up for what is right, the government will be fine with you.

The problem with men is, many of them eventually become husbands.  They marry a woman, settle down, and have children.  More than that, they become the head of the household and as such, become a king in their own little box.  And this is why the government cannot stand husbands: they are competing with them whether either of them realize it or not.

Sure, you can blame feminism and its influence on the massive bureaucracies that serve the government at all levels.  Naturally, many of the policies that involve private matters such as divorce and custody hearings are largely influenced by feminists and their parasitical ideology.  If the tragic end of Tom Ball has taught me anything, it is that the husband is considered the enemy.

I am sure that there are cases where the wife gets the shaft in divorce hearings.  I am sure that happens, but it appears to be rare.  More often than not, the husband is accused of being the aggressor.  And my guess is that most of the time these accusations are baseless.

The Family Court system in the United States is deeply flawed and probably should abolished in favor of a private system of arbitration.  The reason being is that the court system in the United States is heavily influenced by politics and ideologies which many Americans do not actually believe in.  And the judges themselves are either women or Gamma males (women worshippers) who think that women are divine and would never lie.

The legal system is stacked against husbands.  That is not equality, that is not fair, and we are told to not whine about it and to simply man up and pay the exorbitant child support foisted upon ex-husbands.  Even Christian Family groups instruct men in this manner, failing to realize just how unchristian and illogical the very concept of child support is.  These same groups, by the way, do not instruct wives to not divorce in vengeance or spite and to be fair in the process.  In fact, some of them encourage women to get divorces if their husbands don’t make them happy.

There is good reason for all this to be in place.  For one thing, it enriches a whole lot of divorce attorneys who would otherwise be taking modest fees for ensuring a amicable dissolution of marriage.  In many cases, they encourage women to lie in court (see Christopher Titus’ special “Love is Evol” for more information) in order to gain more money out of a divorce proceeding.  There is a special place in Hell for such men and women and if there was any justice left in this country, they’d be there right now.

But there is another far more compelling reason: the elite cannot tolerate a man with responsibilities and obligations.  A husband is a man who has responsibilities.  He has to provide for his family, enforce discipline in both his children and his wife, and be the spiritual leader and guide.  A husband, in the Biblical sense, is the one who gets to decide how his household is run.  Did Abram consult his wife when he packed up and moved his whole family to Canaan?  Did King David allow his first wife to berate him for dancing in the streets?  Did St. Peter allow his wife to get in the way of his ministry?

A husband is supposed to be moral center of his household, the spiritual guide, and the leader of his family.  There is no exceptions to this standard.  While it is a good thing for women to be spiritual, often times they are emotionally fickle and prone to error because of their emotional whims.  This is something that is encouraged these days by our society, especially within Christian churches.

If a husband acts immorally, as we all do from time to time, this does not take away his moral headship.  Unless he directly breaks the covenant with his wife through adultery, he is still the leader, for good or ill.  Now this does not mean that his wife cannot simply pack up and leave should he be violently abusive, but Jesus made it clear that should she divorce and remarry, she is committing adultery.  In fact, Jesus himself said the only legitimate grounds for divorce was adultery.

But this is the one thing that the government cannot abide by.  In an age where the State is considered to be the primary authority in everyone’s lives (from what is murder to how much water flows through your showerhead), it cannot allow husbands to exist as they have in the past.  The elites who run the system want strong-willed, dominant husbands to cease to exist and will only accept sniveling cowards who submit to their wife’s leadership.

The political elite know that men are the ones who shape and change things.  Masculinity has been a trait that marks great ingenuity and independence.  It is one that drives men to become better than their fathers, to be more than just who they were born as.  And because men, especially husbands, have a greater capacity for resistance, independence, and self-determination, the State must destroy them.

And so they have set up and monopolized a legal system that directly targets husbands.  They seek to demoralize and destroy what it means to be the head of the household through legal means.  Their sycophants in the entertainment industry likewise follow suit by portraying husbands as stupid, dull, violent, and childish.  And meanwhile real people are being hurt, especially children who end up having no moral guidance due to the selfish whims of their own mother.

There is a war going on against husbands in the United States.  It is a war that was started decades ago by a combination of man-hating she-demons and power-hungry elites.  And whether you like it or not, you will have to fight it.   So far, husbands have been fighting a defensive war.  But sooner or later, husbands will go on the offensive and when they do, we will see them cower before us all.  From the disrespectful wife to the deranged family court judge, all will be see and know that we will not stand for injustices like Joseph Kerr and so many others have endured anymore.

We The Prescription Drug Abusers

Drug abuse is rampant in the United States.  And no, I don’t mean the drugs that are deemed illegal by a government who profits greatly from its prohibition.  Almost three quarters of Americans are on prescription drugs:

Researchers find that nearly 70 percent of Americans are on at least one prescription drug, and more than half receive at least two prescriptions.

Mayo Clinic researchers report that antibiotics, antidepressants and painkiller opioids are the most common prescriptions given to Americans. Twenty percent of U.S. patients were also found to be on five or more prescription medications.

The study is uncovering valuable information to the researchers about U.S. prescription practices.

“Often when people talk about health conditions they’re talking about chronic conditions such as heart disease or diabetes,” Dr. St. Sauver stated in a Mayo Clinic press release. “However, the second most common prescription was for antidepressants — that suggests mental health is a huge issue and is something we should focus on. And the third most common drugs were opioids, which is a bit concerning considering their addicting nature.”

What concerns me the most about this article is the fact that anti-depressants are the second largest used prescription drug.  Haven’t all the recent mass shootings been perpetrated by people taking these drugs?  I know, that isn’t fair, but considering idiots like to blame guns, I suppose it is okay to blame anti-depressants as well.

Anti-depressants are basically legal drugs that allow people to feel better about themselves.  I daresay that the vast majority of people who are taking them do not need them.  But now that they are taking them, they need to wean themselves off of them.

The few people I know on anti-depressants have no real reason to be on them, in my opinion.  In those cases, they are, I think, hiding from past pain.  We all have serious traumas that hit us in our lives and not dealing with it by taking drugs only encourages us to not live our lives.  As an example, my wife and I have dealt with five miscarriages in a row.  The first one happened the same week my grandfather died.  If I had gone to a therapist or psychiatrist or whoever prescribes those things at that time, I would probably have been given a prescription for it.  But no, my wife and I got through it without drugs, just a lot of mourning, prayer, and patience.

On another note, many of these are probably drugs for health reasons.  But I have my doubts as to the validity of how effective they truly are.  For example, my father has type-2 diabetes.  Just before he was diagnosed and given medication for it, he was losing weight, largely due to it.  In many cases, type-2 diabetes is caused by being overweight.  But when he started taking the drugs, he gained weight.  Now, I’m no scientist or doctor, but doesn’t that sound counter-productive to you?  Of course, to question the logic of the doctor is like questioning God Himself.

Cholesterol medication is another one that I suspect is highly questionable.  In most cases, if people just stopped eating garbage and exercised a bit, they wouldn’t need to take them.  Instead they take the slightly easier, but much more expensive route and chug pills.

I am not anti-drug anymore than I am anti-vaccine.  I just have serious doubts about the so-called advances in medicine made, especially when the government agencies telling me its safe are bought and paid for by the big companies who sell this stuff.  These same companies are also exempt from any form of civil litigation in the United State as well, which basically means, they can do whatever they want and get away with it.  They could fill your vaccines with goose shit and there’s not a damn thing you could do about it.  They won’t be prosecuted and they can’t be sued.

So you’ll excuse me if I don’t trust the garbage that my doctor claims I might need to take because I have borderline health issues.  I’d rather die with a clear head than a foggy one, thank you very much.

Stupidity Without Consequences

About a week ago I had an interesting conversation with my younger brother, who is currently attending college.  When I told him that a total free market involves no regulations or government oversight, he was appalled that such a thing could happen.  He worried about the “stupid people” who would be scammed by such a system.

I simply responded that stupid people need to face the consequences of their choices and not be sheltered from them by the government or any other institution.  I know this seems like a cruel and heartless line of thinking, but can you honestly say that you are helping people with inferior intelligence if they are unable to face the consequences of their own stupidity?

In the long run, with our massive welfare state where the poor and the ultra-rich seem to get money from the government while the rich and middle class (or the producers) are by and large left with the bill.  What happens is that those who receive welfare benefits stop behaving responsibly and instead are allowed to through caution to wind.

An great example in modern times are the banks here in the United States.  In a truly free-market system, fractional reserve banking would be considered fraud.  Instead we find that all banks have to engage in fractional reserve banking in order to prop up the Federal Reserve.  On top of that, we have agencies like the FDIC which shield banks from the consequences of their own actions.  If there is ever a bank run or a bank failure, the government will be there to either bail the bank or bail out the consumers.  In this zero-accountability system of banking, is it no wonder that they sold bad mortgages to consumers and investors?

With the poor, we see them spending their welfare money on things that are not considered basic essentials to living, such as food, rent payments, and gasoline, and are instead blowing their money of luxuries.  Of course, if we all voted to make such actions illegal, a Federal court judge would tell us we are violating their freedom of speech or privacy rights or whatever fallacious reasons that judges usually give.

To top that off, this country has made it much more beneficial to be poor by providing the poor with more access to disposable income than those who actually produce things and work hard and pay their own way.  The welfare system provides disincentives to be a productive American.

This is a dangerous state to live with parasites at the top and moochers at the bottom with those of us in the middle dwindling as we begin to see no point to having integrity or dignity.

What most economists fail to recognize is that human nature is directly affected by the coercive use of force with regard to removing the consequences of failure.  Failure is probably much more important than success in the market as it tells us what works and what doesn’t work.  When you distort it, you end up with a B-Ark economy running on nothing but the full force and cruelty of the State.

To Bring About the Fall of the gods

Scientists are not gods.

I know, that seems so obvious to so many people but when it comes down to how many of us treat them, they may as well be gods.  Sure, the sacrifices they demand tend to be taxpayer dollars and not virgin blood, but the principle is the same, especially when you consider that Statism is pretty much a religion in and of itself.

In any case, I suppose that is why there is so much outcry from the scientific community and the science fetish community about the recent rulings on the geologists who failed to produce a risk assessment for the chances of an earthquake hitting the Italian city of L’Aquila.  Basically, they were charged and convicted of manslaughter for the deaths of the people of that town.

Naturally, the outcry has distorted what they actually were being charged for.  Scientists and their acolytes are harping about how a geologist is not supposed to be able to accurately predict earthquakes, so they shouldn’t stand trial for the deaths that result from it.  Of course, this is the usual spin that is placed on these sorts of things, especially when it comes to government corruption.  From the article linked above, I’d like to highlight the following paragraph:

The view from L'Aquila, however, is quite different. Prosecutors and the families of victims alike say that the trial has nothing to do with the ability to predict earthquakes, and everything to do with the failure of government-appointed scientists serving on an advisory panel to adequately evaluate, and then communicate, the potential risk to the local population. The charges, detailed in a 224-page document filed by Picuti, allege that members of the National Commission for Forecasting and Predicting Great Risks, who held a special meeting in L'Aquila the week before the earthquake, provided "incomplete, imprecise, and contradictory information" to a public that had been unnerved by months of persistent, low-level tremors. Picuti says that the commission was more interested in pacifying the local population than in giving clear advice about earthquake preparedness.

In other words, the scientists that the government leaders had employed to provide guidance and direction in case of a natural disaster such as an earthquake did nothing of the sort and instead behaved like politicians rather than scientists.

More to the point though, does it really matter if they were on trial for failure to predict an earthquake?  They are part of a group called the National Commission for Forecasting and Predicting Great Risks (emphasis mine).  In other words, they literally claimed, by means of association, that they could predict earthquakes with some degree of accuracy.  And now they are claiming that they could not have known?

One of the many failures of human beings, which has become more and more acceptable in the Western world, is our inability to accept responsibility for the consequences of our actions (or inaction as it were).  This is especially true among government officials and corporate cronies who enjoy all the benefits of success but never suffer failure, which is equally important in life.  Failure, after all, is a means by which we adjust our behavior so that we do not repeat it.  In a sense, failure is the mental version of pain (next to watching an Uwe Boll or Tommy Wiseau movie).

The State, which is a collection of selfish individuals who are either elected or appointed to positions of power over the general population, largely tries to avoid the responsibilities or leadership while reaping the benefits of power and prestige.  From the former child molesting Catholic priest now turned TSA agent to the President taking credit for good jobs reports while blaming the bad ones on his predecessor, we see this at all levels.  And don’t worry, the usual response to pointing out such contradictions is usually a stonewall of silence or a club to your head.

Another way to put this is that the State desires to be a god.  After all, does not a god get all the praise but is never held accountable when the things promised aren’t delivered (I know this is a very weird thing for a Christian to say, but I assure it, it is perfectly inline with my faith).  I know of no stories where a temple prostitute was killed by an angry mob after their crops were destroyed by drought when she promised to avert it in exchange for sex.  Then again, maybe the State should revert to such pagan customs because at least we’d have a good time when we’re being financially raped.  Of course, our modern government did manage to bankrupt that trucker brothel stop in Nevada, so I doubt they manage to get selling sex and booze to desperate and lonely people right.

The main reason why I am a political nihilist and a free marketeer is because I believe that for good men to prosper, there needs to be some form of accountability.  As individuals, we have our own rational self-interests in mind and we seek to maximize our own benefit regardless of how that affects others.  But when we bring harm to others, we need to be held accountable for said harm.  In the case of these geologists in Italy, I think being held accountable for the victims of the earthquake which they were to at suppose to inform the public on the risks of is justifiable.

No it does not bring back the dead or restore the town into whatever it was before the earthquake.  But it sends a message to others to do their damn job and do it right and if you can’t do it, then don’t pretend that you can.  This is how we can break the State and bring about the fall of the gods: hold them accountable for what they say and do.

A Perfect Analogy of Constitutionalism

So I was talking with my wife about Webster Tarpley claiming that cutting food stamps means the genocide of 50 million people and she provided a perfect analogy of constitutionalism:

It’s like you have a house with 12 kids in there and you go in there and tell them that you are going to start enforcing the rules now.  This means that all the fun things they got to do are now no longer an option.  And yes, the kids are going to complain, bitch, and moan about not being able to get a cookie every now and then, but you’ll have established a less chaotic system in the process.  It means that you are now behaving like a mature adult and not some enabler of bad behavior.

She has her moments.

Feminist Idiocy

The stupidity of politicians is always a norm when it comes to politics.  But the stupidity of female, feminist politicians usually reaches the top of the charts:

Before getting a prescription for Viagra or other erectile dysfunction drugs, men would have to see a sex therapist, receive a cardiac stress test and get a notarized affidavit signed by a sexual partner affirming impotency, if state Sen. Nina Turner has her way.

The Cleveland Democrat introduced Senate Bill 307 this week.

A critic of efforts to restrict abortion and contraception for women, Turner says she is concerned about men’s reproductive health. Turner’s bill joins a trend of female lawmakers submitting bills regulating men’s health. Turner said if state policymakers want to legislate women’s health choices through measures such as House Bill 125, known as the “Heartbeat bill,” they should also be able to legislate men’s reproductive health. Ohio anti-abortion advocates say the two can’t be compared.

Heartbeat bill sponsor Rep. Lynn Wachtmann, R-Napoleon, said comparing his bill to Turner’s would be like comparing apples to bananas. The Heartbeat bill would prohibit abortion once a heartbeat is detected, as early as six weeks into a pregnancy.

The final sentence tells us how stupid this whole bill really.  Here we have a feminist idiot trying to tell us that men and women are no different, save for a minor difference in genitalia.  The truth is that men and women are very different, right down to DNA and thought patterns.

Naturally, the thought patterns of this chick demonstrates that she is incapable of having a coherent rational thought.  Even though the article doesn’t say what is really going on outright, I can guess what is happening:

The Republicans in the Ohio legislature have introduced a bill that requires an ultrasound before an abortion can be performed.  This is done as a workaround to get abortion clinics to go out of business because the men know just how emotionally attached a woman can become when she sees her baby in her womb.  Nina Turner knows this as well and wants to continue the Supreme Court approved Eugenics program that was started by Planned Parenthood and other progressives who emerged from the sewers of society at the turn of the century.

So what does she do?  Instead of acknowledging that the child in the womb is an actual person, she introduces ridiculous legislation to try and make a moral equivalence for men.  In her mind, it is because all of us men think like women in that we do not see anything beyond our own perspective.

Except that we are able to write laws tailored for women to help them understand, on their level, that abortion is murder.  In other words, the initial bill that was introduced proved that men can see things in the same manner that women see them.  The common response from many women is to circle the wagons for their “sisters” and protect their own.

It is high time that we men stand up to evil and call it what it is.  We have a group of people are devoted to evil, be they Republican or Democrat, who desire to allow women to be absolved from the consequences of their actions, namely the ability to kill their children so they can continue having unprotected sex with as many gullible men as possible.

There is a reason that the husband is considered the head of the household.  It is because he is to provide the moral center and band everyone in his household together under his moral authority.  A wife is to provide support, as God never intended an equal to be provided, but a suitable helper.  Any man who does not assert his authority as the head of the house deserves whatever henpecking, sexless marriage that results.  I have seen it with my own eyes many times over.

The one benefit that feminists have given our society, it seems, is to make men earn their rights as a husband.  And it seems to me that men do like challenges more so than women.

I went off on a tangent there, but the overall point is that we all need to stand up to these evil people and call them out.  That is why I applauded Rush Limbaugh when he call Sandra Fluke a slut and a whore because that is what she was doing.  On top of that she was lying and demanding an apology while not forgiving Limbaugh at all.  These are not the actions of a Godly person, but a wicked heart.

Evil must be confronted, even more so now than in the past because a huge power vacuum is coming due to an impending collapse and we need strong, upright people to take the place of our corrupt and decadent central planners.

(NOTE: As always, generalizations follow the 80/20 rule as any generalizations I make are at least 80% correct.)

Muppet Moocher?

And now we have a muppet moocher:

A “food insecure” Muppet is helping to promote a national “Food for Thought” campaign that teaches poor families to seek out nutritious food and to eat on the taxpayers’ tab.

At the National Press Club on Thursday, Lily the Muppet – who worries about her family not having enough money to feed her properly -- pitched free food at school:

“Sometimes we can't always afford to buy all the food that we need,” Lily said. “I mean, but we've been finding lots of ways that we can get help...Yeah, for example, at school I get a free breakfast and a lunch...part of the meal plan."

Lily’s message is being circulated through schools, hospitals and food assistance programs as part of Sesame Street’s “Food for Thought” multi-media campaign, which includes DVDs and a booklet listing “services that can assist your family” as well as “referrals to social service agencies.”

Organizers say they have produced a million of the kits.

At the National Press Club on Thursday, the Rev. Douglas Greenaway of the National WIC (Women, Infants and Children) Association lauded Sesame Street’s ‘Food For Thought’ campaign – even linking it to federal deficit-reduction.

“What ‘Food For Thought’ does is remind people that eating healthy now gives them a good health outcome in the long term. So the folks you’re looking at up here, the programs that they represent, what ‘Food For Thought’ does is really a deficit reduction strategy, and we hope policymakers will take notice of that,” Greenaway said.

Greenaway didn't elaborate further on how this would work towards deficit reduction.

What happened to Cookie Monster?  Apparently cookies are now a “sometimes” food.  All I can say in response to that is: what the fuck?!?

Seriously, the primary market for Sesame Street has always been children under the age of five.  And children that age should have zero control over what is put in front of them to eat because they are too stupid to get food for themselves, unless it is within reach.  It is the parents’ job to tell the children “No, you only get two cookies” despite all the barrages of hysterical abuse.  And if you are a parent and you have a toddler and you cannot endure their temper tantrums, you really need to take a class on spanking and time out.

Also, when dealing with children, why are we going to make their lives more complex by teaching them about poverty?  Kids get freaked out when they can’t have what they want enough as it is and now you’re going to tell them about poverty?  They are not developed enough to understand the very concept.

It gets better though as this was at the end of the article:

Sesame Workshop, the nonprofit educational organization behind the TV show, announced on Thursday that it plans to appoint a Poverty Advisory Board in 2012. The first meeting will be in Washington on Jan. 10.

I want PBS to be lose its Federal government money.  They are a looter organization seeking to empower the moochers on behalf of the professional pimps in Congress.

Maybe then Sesame Street can focus on important things like counting:

Spiders on the wall, huh?
