Just Some Musings...

OK, what's this about some soccer tournament, The World Cup? All right, I know about it. In fact, there were a lot of folks wearing colored national soccer jerseys when we were in Las Vegas. It seemed, though, that all of them spoke English with accents. C'mon, the US squeaks by that powerhouse of everything Algeria and then loses to Ghana. I know some of these athletes are very talented. But did one ever think what the US could do with someone like Kobe Bryant in goal? Matt suggested this. Let's see, the guy is about 6'9", quick and agile as a waterbug, etc. Who could score on him? Take other NBA and NFL athletes and start them in soccer and guess what? Yep, my guess is "It's Miller Time" with The World Cup. But, in the end, I don't care either way. So what if "the rest of the world...."

BTW, why are we so concerned about what "the rest of the world" thinks, does, etc.? That is, why are we, well, at least some of our leaders, so-called of course, and intellectuals, again so-called of course, saying, "But what about what 'the rest of the world' thinks...?" Maybe we should be concerned with their thoughts about us, esp. "those" who treat their women the ways they do, who strap bombs to their own kids and grandkids to blow up others' kids and grandkids, who allow a handful of ruling family members to hoard their nations' wealth, etc. The list goes on and on and....

Does anyone really care who that LaBron Harris guy plays for? Well, I for one do not, not in the least. And how much money is he getting? I wonder if I will read or hear the word "greedy" in all of this. Why is it that I think not?

The guy who murdered that 2-year old and then buried him under 400 lbs of concrete.... I have a few suggestions on what to do with him. None of them are pleasant and none of them are quick. You can save those excuses, "Oh, but he had a bad childhood" or whatever else, for someone who cares....

BTW, why are those who decry any nasty punishment for murderous monsters like this guy the same folks who are abnormally silent about the treatment of women, criminals, etc. in their favorite "the rest of the world" countries? I wonder if they can spell "hypocrites."

Why is the ACLU so forceful in defending the rights of people to use swear words, yet, like the above, so very silent about the federal government's usurpation of our individual rights? For instance, where is the ACLU (certainly not in court!) when ObamaCare requires us to purchase health insurance, and of a particular kind?

Oh, I have more, but no time right now. I'll be back later tonight or tomorrow, again, if I have time.
