Welcome to Black Friday

Well, I have survived the morning of black friday. If you are not familiar with this annual ritual than here is the lowdown. Retailers open up really early on the day after Thanksgiving with really low prices on a couple of items in their store. Problem being is that there are alot of people that want the advertised item at that really low price. Which means that there are near riots at these outlets for the advertised items.
I have to admit that it is kinda fun going out really early in the morning, waiting in line for hours on the of chance that I might be able to get one of these 'sale' items. This year was the first year that my wife didn't have to work on black friday so she accompanied me. Since I am protective of her this might have shown me the carnage that this really is.
Why is it that on black friday we are able to be rude and just plain mean to other people that we meet? To give an example I did black friday at Nebraska Furniture Mart in Kansas City, KS. We got there at 6am (doors open at 7am) and there was already a large mass of people that were there for the deals. When the doors fianally opened it was every person for themselves. Heaven forbid that someone gets to the $50 guitar hero II game before you do. I saw guys that were shoving women out of the way. I got through the mob of people that was surrounding the $10 DVD players and was able to get one. I figured I would be helpful and started grabbing the DVD players off of the pallet and handing them back to folks behind me. I thought that I would be thanked but instead about got the crap beat out of me due to folks that I failed to hand a DVD player.
Luckily my wife just stayed towards the front of the building which was probably the safest. The whole reason that we were there was an advertisement in the newspaper the day before that had a Compaq laptop for $250. What they failed to mention was that they would give out ticket vouchers to the first 200 people that showed up so that there wouldn't be a bunch of people running towards the cheap laptops. What kind of crap is that? Hell, all of the people there have broke every morale human code, might as well give them their just reward.
I guess what it comes down to is I have seen what I am like and I didn't really like it too much. I think that from now on I am just going to look for sales that are going on in different stores and online and buy from them. I will save all of the cage fighting for the experts in that field.

'fraid not law

I think that we should come out with a law that supercede's other laws, call it the 'fraid not law. This law would be used when people skirt around the law on a small technicality. Kinda like the double jeopardy law that says you cannot be tried for the same crime twice. The prosecutor could call " 'fraid not" and then set in motion the law.

Maybe it would consist of each side choosing 13-15 people and telling their side of the story then explain that if common sense dictated what would the outcome be? The outcomes would never set a precedent and the judges only job would be to make sure that everything is kosher, the judges hands would be tied as far as a ruling, that would be left up to the group of people.

My thought process is this, we the people make the laws of the land. When people skirt the law, they have basically found a way around what we were trying to block. Apparently, we hire all of these supposedly really smart people to go to Washington and make these laws for us. It seems that with all of their supposed knowledge they keep making mistakes and holes in the laws and letting people either run free when guilty or lock up someone who is innocent. Yes, thats right, we hire them. Which means after their term, they can be fired.

I think that something got lost

I know that I should have been writing articles about the Michael Vick saga, but to be quite honest I have been lazy and swamped at work and home. So now I am going to try to play catchup here.
Apparently this pretty popular football player has been accused of having dog fights on his property as well as raising and training dogs for this purpose. There has been no comment out of him since this was all raised. The interesting thing to me is that if you are totally innocent of any charges than why isn't there some lawyer or Vicks himself banging a drum saying that this is a conspiracy or "the man" is out to get him. Where is Al Sharpton and Jessie Jackson screaming about how it is a black person that was accused? I am by no means trying to sound racial because it isn't about that. It looks to me like there are a bunch of people getting paid alot of money sitting around brainstorming different stories that will sound plausable to the public, which is why we haven't heard a peep from anyone associated with him. Once a good story has been found, they will then come out and tell everyone what this story is. Is this how a role-models are suppose to behave? To hide behind other people until he can get his story straight?
My father always told me "Don't do the crime, if you can't do the time". If Vicks believes with all of his heart that dog fighting is where its at, then it would be worth it to him to go to jail for his convictions, but don't come to me and try to make up stories as to why this was done and I didn't know, etc.. This man was paid alot of money to do a job well, if he loved something else then he should have been pursuing that instead. Maybe starting a petition to make dog-fighting legal, I don't know.
I guess the gist of my rambling here is that I am tired of people that are making alot of money for my amusement all the while telling me how great they are then turning around and breaking the law with little to no retribution. Can you say Paris Hilton? Drunk driving?

Working on a new website

Hello all. I wanted to make sure that everyone knew that I was starting a new project, www.doggiecare.info.
I am hoping to get the site up completely within the next couple of weeks, depending on how busy I am at work and what my social schedule looks like.

Duke Lacrosse Team Innocent

I'll be damned, they didn't do anything wrong.
Where is Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton standing on their soapbox talking about how race was used in this case and tainted everything that it touched regardless of the truth?
I thought that they would be out talking about how you shouldn't judge cases because of race. How justice should view everyone as the same color. They must be too busy slamming Imus to worry about some Duke Lacrosse players.
I say congratulations to them and I hope that they take every penny from the former District Attorney in their civil suits. I say that they sue their accuser for every penny that she has also.
I'll bet that it is hard to push through life when the whole world is against you, schools kick you out, people spit on you only to finally get proven right.
I hope that alot of people start eating their share of goat pretty soon.

Pet food and your pet

Where are all the chest beaters that were out when greenies was "killing" of those dogs? Where are the lawsuits for multi-million dollars because peoples favorite pooch was killed by choking?
Here are animals dying by the hudreds from contaminated food. Actually no one knows exactly how many animalshave died, but the FDA has received over 8,000 complaints. The dog companies have received over 300,000. Aren't those interesting figures, no one cares that their pet has been poisoned by reporting it to the Federal Drug Administration, they wish to only know that the company that made to food knows so that they could get paid.

US Doctors warn of poisoning from hand gels

Yes, you read that right. Apparently some people have gotten it into their head that if you drink hand gel the alcohol content will get you drunk.
I think that we should not do anything, this is a great way to clean up the gene pool for future generations. For those of you wondering, the active ingredient in hand gel is alcohol, its just that its rubbing alcohol called isopropyl, not the kind that you drink that are normally found in beverages. I believe that I learned the difference between the 2 when I was five years old. Of course that means that there would have been some type of drinking alcohol around my household to make the comparison. There was.
So what do you think is the solution that the grand minds of the world have came up with?
According to the CNN article "They suggested that makers of the hand gels change the labeling."
Yea, that will help
