I'm so straight (sexually) that when I see a set of male genitals in pornography ([alternative text here] I've heard about male genitals being in pornagraphy), the first
thing I think of is "the space program needs more funding." And perhaps "I haven't been fishing in a while." Sometimes I think "fire fighting is cool."

Thirty years ago as a young invincible I was an occasional black-out drinker. I think I once went to
an ac/dc concert in Washington D.C.
and blacked out most of the experience. I was with a guy named Chuck who I had
been hanging out with and getting into various trouble with for several months.
Chuck knew these two thin sisters (I said t-h-i-n not twin sisters) and I think they came to the concert with us.
But they were not just thin, they were Karen Carpenter thin, like they had been
eating food void of nutrition like rocks for breakfast and lunch all their
lives. Anyway, taking both of them to the concert was not a problem with dating
economics since the two of them together were like one person. Like one mouth
to feed, half as much alcohol for each of them, half has much attention needed
to be paid to either of them. Unfortunately I don't recall if I was intimate
with either at one time or both of them at the same time. That memory is just one half naked blurry reasonably sized woman, who I knew were actually two skinny women! And what a shame to see a
great concert like ac/dc and black-out the event!

Being a stubborn conservative governor who has refused to accept the expanded
Medicaid program funds is like refusing to install poor citizens' vehicle air
bags even though doing so would be free of cost. Where you know the bags could
save lives and unnecessary suffering if installed. How many busted heads
occurring among what segment of the population are enough to keep under the
radar of the press and then get-away with - governors assholes? For these
governors it's about sticking to their anti-federal government philosophy of
conservatism at the cost of the suffering of the silent population who could
use that Medicaid funding a great deal.
5. If I were commander in chief of the most powerful and globally extended military force in the world I would . .
A.
Shift hundreds of billions in annual Pentagon funding into research and
development toward a large and effective space fighter fleet. Hundreds of
single pilot multiple use fighter craft that can fly very fast in atmosphere or
space, that can land vertically, that can pivot 180 degrees upon an enemy. I
would involve all capable nations in following suit. Not only could we then
defend the planet but the craft can be the workhorses of space, towing
everything needed in space from satellites to equipment and personnel to colonize
the Moon and Mars. They could also destroy incoming planetary bodies like
asteroids and meteors, or falling spacecraft. Technical hint for the pentagon: pilots encapsulated in fluid can take far more g-force especially if that fluid container is computer pressure by chamber controlled!
B.
Intervene with troops or air support in other nations only in these
circumstances:
1.
Starvation and or genocide is occurring due to war. In this worthy and
honorable cause I would use all available military means, beginning with
taking-out whatever leadership is causing the suffering, to alleviate the
suffering. I would establish two or more international refugee zones which
would be strongly militarily guarded near each point of refugee populating. If
a warlord needs to be taken-out I would revive the mass paratroop drop behind
enemy lines technique of overwhelming the enemy. 2. If a burgeoning
democracy is falling apart and military solutions could keep it together. For
example in Egypt
in 2012, I would have supported the current regime, as corrupt as
it may have been, because elections were coming. I would have rapidly deployed
a carrier battle group to the coast of Alexandria
to let the Egyptian army know we do not support revolt. I would do these things
because having as many democracies as possible in the world is the single best
known way to reduce the frequency of war and thus human suffering. A worthy and
honorable cause and a good use for unbeatable military power.

For any conservative group or think-tank to exclaim "Obama care has been a
failure," is just stupidity. It implies the program is in full effect -
and the truth is far from it, as tens of millions of uninsured have yet to
brave their way forward and sign-up. It implies that enough of the program has
been working long enough for experts and economists to have any opinion worth
any merit - or an opinion that can be deduced true by reasoning. Imagine you're
a conservative in America,
you actually want millions to not have good health care, because they'll have
shit insurance or none under conservative proposals for Health Savings
Accounts, and other such rubbish speculative health care delivery systems.
7.
This is my declaration of sound mind: If I'm dying, and I indicate that I'm
going to heaven, somebody please shoot me or smother me with a pillow. Because
I'll be acting like a delusional fool during my last time on Earth, and I won't
go-out a blithering fool.

It is also lying to be dishonest with your self. Therefore we must show respect
to ourselves and get "intellectually honest," about everything of
which we deceive ourselves about. We must discover these lies and get them the
f*&k out.

Example of mental illness stigma by institutional delivery: "I told my
psychiatrist something a few weeks ago and she looked at me like I was crazy!"
Or, "I saw my new physician the other day, he looked down at my chart,
then looked up at me like I was crazy!" Or, "I asked the shoe
sales lady if she had it in a wide size, she looked at me like I was
crazy!"
10.
The great and unsolvable paradox preventing human progress involves ignorance.
That a great many people do not know they have it makes decreasing ignorance
like trying to drink a lake fed by a river. So we must find a way to educate
all humans using high technology beginning at the fetal stage of development,
ensuring that children are born knowledgeable. Unfortunately many of the new
smart-babies will be smart-assed and manipulative and conniving little shits.
Perhaps we could send those babies to colonize Mars?
