That Pat told faithful viewers of his 700 club he was the recipient of yet another revelation from on high does not surprise me.
But how in hades will he splain his way out of this one when millions of Americans and cities are not destroyed in the latter half of 07.
I recall Oral Roberts left wiggle room when he claimed GOD would be taking him home less the faithful sent a love ransom.
Pat must have skipped his Prozac prior to the broadcast. That millions and millions of people who are otherwise able to engage in the ordinary activities of daily living accept the rantings of a fruit loop as gospel kinda explains why I own several guns.
Were a stray space rock to smack into the planet with enough girth to knock out civil living as we know it for a couple years its fellows like Pat that would rise from the chaos in hopes of establishing a new dark age in Jesus name.

They are winning too many of the battles. Those who for want of a better or more identifiable descriptive I call the Architects of Control. Why is it all the leap frog advances in what ever sphere of human development you care to classify are the creation of individuals who were contrary to what ever social order existed at the time. And the creation was then absorbed by others as a tool to wield over others. A friend from college who works in R&D and keeps in touch told me about a project they are waiting on the F.D.A to approve. Its a big capsule that when you swallow dissolves a little and a chip clings to your G.I track for a good six months. It's a small R.F.D that is G.P.S enabled and will be marketed for parents to give children in case they get abducted. His company hopes the next generation of devices can be marketed to corrections to keep track of sex offenders. They hope to someday develop a chip that will cling or "host" for years and convert the bodies electrical impulses into a power supply. I ask my friend why some one who use to get stoned with Dr Tim and rant against the establishment would spend his time helping to create such technology.

I am from the really old school of political conservatism, Which is to say I have nothing in common with the yahoo's who currently call themselves the republican party and my blogs bear that out.
The unexpected even historic swing back toward the left is a welcome event in the Burton house hold. Oh I still think liberal ideology is silly and like Marxism only works on paper but like a good hearted yet tad slow favorite cousin those who profess an ardent passion for all things liberal will always need looking after in the real world.

Political Conservatism has nothing to do with religion or family values or who your fucking. It is more about my wanting to keep what I carve out of the pie and yes Virgina if I can gain an advantage in the sand box of life I will take it and wish you the best if providence favors your mouse trap.

I would wish for a world where everyone enjoys equal opportunity to participate and prosper, but it does not and I want my slice.

Life and Liberty you get just for showing up, happiness you gotta earn on your own and it comes with some shit day dues.

Hope you all voted and if your candidate or cause got slapped down last night you should still fee

I have never been a prude or objected to the want of young lasses to display has they blossom. Still I was uncomfortable with the costume attire worn by too many of the eight through eleven year olds who came seeking candy at our door the other evening.

Really the Slut look can be quite fetching in some instances if the lass in question is a grown up wench.

But I ask for what purpose would a preteen need to display camel toe or thigh. I remember seeing in Cali an exhibit that the F.B.I later raided as child porn, then backed off cause it was art and anyone with intellect could see that it was art so its not nudity or even the artistic observation of pubescence that bothers me.

I just want to know what became of "cute" young witches and mermaids and wonder women. Why would parents allow little girls to dress up in costumes that just scream inappropriate.

Not that I or anyone ought to have the "right" to establish what is or is not appropriate still I have the right to post the out of candy sign on my door bell and turn the jack-o-lantern off early cause handing out candy to little girls who in my opinion present themselves as a sad caricature of a strumpet simply isn't much fun.

Most people from Arizona who watch the news have heard about Sheriff Joe's implementation of yet another tool to protect and serve the folks of Maricopa county. A vast database of digital identification culled from drivers licenses

Most people have the "only criminal's and terrorist's need worry" mindset when it comes to government keeping an eye on what folks are doing. And the court's have long upheld the concept you do not have an expectation of privacy in public places.

I do not have a problem with passive observation technology.
Put a fricking camera on every block if you like, My life is after all already posted, blogged, vlogged, webcamed and otherwise open for who ever cares to observe.

The Sheriff however is using interactive, intrusive none of your dam business kind of surveillance.

The interlinking of every feed from the traffic cam's to the circle K and jack in the box is just plain Orwellian.

A friend who lives in London was at first pleased with the total awareness program they have.

Till he became aware in his neighborhoods it's so pervasive the power company will call to scold you for leaving too many lights on at night.

The police will stop by to see if you were drinking and driving cause your auto was observed weaving quite a lot early in the evening on one of the ten's of thousands of camera's that are literally everywhere, ever watching ever profiling the subjects observed.
