I honestly don’t understand how we as a society continue to allow this kind of sexist victim blaming and shaming to exist. Do we blame the guy who flashed around a wad of $100 bills for being robbed? OK…It may not be the smartest thing to do, but it still doesn’t make it his fault when some mugger decides to rob his stupid ass.
How she dresses doesn’t make it OK to assault her. It doesn’t mean “she asked for it”. It just means that some shithead saw something that didn’t belong to him and tried to take it…because he thought he could get away with it.
That’s on us all. By our tacit consent, we’re all to blame. Change is hard, but necessary.

Ned may be planning to tax the fuck out of us, but at least legal weed is on the table, which would help supply some extra tax revenue and maybe stop SOME of the madness.

Pete Sessions, no relationship to recently shit-canned Jeffy the Elf, but perhaps an even bigger obstacle to cannabis legalization, will no longer be in Congress. That means that the guy who refused to allow any cannabis bills to make it to the House floor for discussion or vote…that guy is gone.
So…2019 should be an interesting year for legal weed. Kudos to Texans for making the right choice…for a change.

Personally, I prefer a more hoppy brew, but I know a lot of folks are gonna bum out if PBRs disappear from the beer list at their favorite watering holes. Of course, all of this begs the question: why the fuck did Pabst sell out to Miller-Coors in the first place?

California has some of the strictest gun control laws in the country, and while there’s probably more we could do, all the attempted controls so far have done little to prevent dedicated terrorists from opening up on innocent people. Around the US, there are other states with tough gun laws that have been unable to throttle the useless violence. In the UK, where guns are much harder to come by, mass knifings have been the recent trend of terror. It seems as if the law is unable to prevent people from taking their angst out on their neighbors. Prohibition rarely works…for anything. So what can we do to stop this plague of violence?
I say, it’s time to take the desperation out of American Life. Maybe, if people didn’t feel like they were out of options to make their lives better. Maybe if people felt like there was some hope for the future. Maybe if income inequality wasn’t at an all time high, as employers exploit their workers without regard for a living wage. Maybe if we were truly addressing the psychological needs of our citizens. Maybe if our government were dedicated to improving the lives of Americans, rather than showering us with fear mongering and division as a justification for more and more military spending, instead of money for education, health (including mental health), and the general welfare.
Maybe we could change this painful trend towards violence. Maybe. Maybe we should at least try.
