This has got me steaming. I can’t believe that Americans spit on the blood spilled for our liberties.
The Mayor of Brazoria wants to outlaw the n-word. I understand where he is coming from; it is offensive and totally unnecessary. Nevertheless it is protected by the first amendment to the constitution.
Maybe he hasn’t read the constitution. I thought public officials were sworn to uphold the constitution? Doesn’t that mean they have to read it? Apparently they have socialist or fascist agendas and lie to get power and recognition.
Why do we Americans cheerfully place the shackles of oppression upon ourselves? Do we not realize that if we outlaw the N-word, next will come homosexual slurs, and then comes religious slurs, and the cycle will never end?
People in America can’t think past their nose! Prosperity has made Americans stupid, lazy and now - socialist!
The people that chant “separation of church and state” (not in the constitution by the way!) are going to love this law. Pretty soon we will not be able to have a discussion about religion on public property. Then we won’t be able to talk about God in restaurants (unless they have Keno!). This will in turn lead to saying ‘Jesus’ offends some people everywhere so proselytizing will be outlawed!
Americans must value the liberty of our neighbors. Or when our neighbors are in power they will reciprocate the shackles of tyranny upon us.
However…
I believe I have a work around for this law. Every time you bigots feel like using the N-word, just pick up a blunt object and hit everyone within earshot! This way at least you can be sure you committed an actual crime and have moved out of the realm of Free Speech!

Irony of Law
Ok so it is illegal to smoke in omaha in a restaurant unless you have keno? Hmmm... It is illegal to gamble on the Internet but you can play keno?
So we have the right to bear arms according to the bill of rights, but if we bear arms we will be arrested? Hmmm...
Our forefathers framed the constitution that we would govern ourselves according to the ten commandments. There are no laws in the bible to prevent crime, only to punish it.
Why are there laws now focusing on preventing crime?
If we could bear arms like the bill of rights says, then these lunatics shooting up the schools would have been stopped way before they killed innocent people.
I am not a smoker, but why can't the owner of the establishment determine whether they want to allow smoking or not?
If Internet gambling is wrong, why isn't the lottery wrong?
STOP MAKING STUPID LAWS PROHIBITING OUR FREEDOM!

What if Man Lived 1000 years?
I haven’t made an entry in a while and just wanted to post something I was pondering recently.
I wonder what would happen if people lived at least 1,000 years. Adam and Eve lived for about that long atime if I remember correctly. One would think their life was probably tilling the ground, planting gardens, and just walking around and plucking some fruit every once in a while.
Anyways, we can see that in the first millennium cities were being built. They must have been busy. But what made them achieve those ends? God told them to “be fruitful and multiply”. I remember He also wanted them to fill the earth. Cities were possibly contrary to God‘s intention, because people congregated in centralized locations thus not ‘filling’ the earth. It also seems that cities were problematic in regards to sin. Think of Nineveh,Sodom, Gomorrah, and Tyre. It is interesting that God post -flood made a point of judging the cities for iniquity and conversely rewarding the prophets that spent long times in solitude. God must not hang out in cities so much! I guess I need to go camping more often!
We know that God destroyed those people that were living in the first millennium with the great flood. Obviously, things were not improving with long life! I guess that iniquity was simply getting worse with time.
I wonder what man would learn in a few hundred years that he wouldn’t learn in the first 80?
On a positive note, I’d like to believe that man would realize the futility of trying to change someone else to his or her liking and just work on changing themselves and the way they respond to things. Perhaps the futility of making a living would give way to prudent investing. Maybe we wouldn’t let our emotions be our guide so much as working on our character and leaving a legacy behind.
It is apparent that if people don’t have goals, the days just tick by letting boredom enter in. I suppose that breed of people would just watch TV and become products of that life. They would probably get more and more bound up in believing what they see, instead of what’s behind what they see. It stands to reason that those zombies would just get worse and end up slaves to the opportunist thinkers who would amass themselves to take advantage. The intelligence gap would eventually become so vast that the TV watchers would consign themselves unwittingly to slavery.
What about serial killers? If they lived 1000 years,they would either quit after a while, or get worse. If they got worse, then they would improve at their craft, or get caught. It seems a trend that iniquities only increase with time. So the evil that they began with would fade in comparison to the evil they may well become in a thousand years. This means we could possibly get entangled again with the reasoning behind the initial flood - right?
I wonder what would happen with government? I have noticed that our country has a really short-term memory, repeating the same mistakes over and over again. And I have also noticed that government only increases in laws and they always eventually fail. All governments have failed. I wonder if1000-year-old wisdom could prevent governments from failing?
What about wisdom? Could you imagine the likes of Einstein, Newton, Hawking, Edison, Bell, Tesla,Faraday, and Leonardo living a thousand years? They would all be contemporaries! Imagine giving all those guys simultaneous Internet access? It would be astounding what they would accomplish! Their underlying precepts of their respective disciplines would only increase giving birth to inventions many times more astounding than what we see now.
I guess that our resources would prove to be finite too. All those added dead people (for the last 1000years) being alive would significantly increase the population, thus draining our resources. By now we would probably be mining other planets, terraforming Mars, and having cities on the ocean floor. Who knows?
Maintaining the thought of finite resources. If we didn’t solve that problem quickly enough, then territorial battles would eventually ensue. Add to that the weapons created by the worlds greatest minds as well as the evil that only increases with time - I can only conclude that we would blow ourselves up unless we scattered to other planets in time.
Oh well, this question will never be answered. We know that God removed the tree of life so that man wouldn’t live forever in his sinful nature. I am sure He knows what’s up! He’s been around for more than1000 Years!
