School Shooting Commited at Chardon High

I don't know how many are aware of this, but a school shooting took place not all that far from where I live. http://www2.nbc4i.com/news/2012/feb/28/26/school-day-ohio-brings-shootings-death-ar-947024/ Here is what the accused shooter, T.J. Lane posted on his Facebook page, some days before he alledgedly commited the act. http://www.thedailybeast.com/content/dailybeast/articles/2012/02/27/facebook-post-by-chardon-ohio-high-school-shooting-suspect-t-j-lane.html I just have two comments to make. 1. This is not the proper, prudent, way to engage in class warfare. I understand, and agree with, the opposition to the social system of classes/cliques, violence is not the most positive, or even effective way to combat it. This, for instance non-violent resistance, such as direct action. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_action#Nonviolent_direct_action http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonviolent_resistance I do not agree with the notion of aggressive"propoganda of the deed", in order to try to advance social change. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propaganda_of_the_deed 2. I express my condolences to the family, and friends, of the slain. R.I.P.

Americans Rise Up Against Corporate Capitalism

http://occupywallst.org/ Finally there is a popular social movement against Americas predatory economic system. Wall Street is the ultimate power behind Washington. The government seems to primarily serve the interests of property, rather than the safety of the public. I hope that there will be more actions taken by the common people against the social elite. I would also like to think that this revolution will remain non-violent, but much depends upon how the state responds to this challenge to the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie. I also feel that steps should be taken to establish alternatives to the existing economy. Such as through counter-economics http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counter-economics

Tom Propst Commits "Christian Honor Killing"

http://starbeacon.com/local/x803540583/Be-on-the-lookout-for-murder-suspect Many of you have no doubt heard of so called "honor killings" taking place amongst muslims, in the Middle East. Well, shocking as it might seem, these last past days, in the same county as I reside, a known Christian killed his wife. His wife, and also presumably his daughter, were also Christians. However, after his daughter, Hannah, turned 18 she demanded the freedom granted to adult Americans. However, her father, Mr. Propst, apparently adhered to the idea of Christian patriarchy http://www.alternet.org/reproductivejustice/149022/creepy_christian_patriarchy_movement_shackles_daughters_to_their_fathers_and_homes/?page=entire , and so felt that she should be subordinate to him, as a "stay at home daughter" http://bitchmagazine.org/article/house-proud . So he had been responding to her asserting her personal autonomy by beating her, and when her mother, Paulette, tried to intervene, he attacked her too. Eventually, Mrs. Propst got up enough gumption to file for divorce, shortly afterward she was killed. From what I was told, at the visitation, by Paulette's sister, I think that Mr. Propst seemed to possess an authoritarian personality , even before marriage. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Authoritarian_personality At the very least, he's what my sister refers to as being a choleric. http://prepareforpsychologicaltest.com/choleric-personality-type/ Last I heard, from sources I consider credible, the gun he used to kill his wife with, was given back to him by a corrections officer, and he's currently traveling in a silver Buick, rather than his Toyota pick up truck. So I tend to feel that this is highly suggestive of a dominionist conspiracy. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dominionism I feel that this illustrates that the Christian extremists aren't any better in practice than there Islamic counterparts. Both seek to establish a repressive theonomy, and can become violent fanatics. I actually consider dominionists to be a greater threat to America's democratic freedom than Islamists.

Pres. Obama Sells Out Workers to Vietnam

http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/business/7676255.html I heard a few days ago that the Obama administration is planning out a free trade deal with the so called Socialist Republic of Vietnam. First of all workers in such un-democratic countries as Vietnam do not enjoy the same standards of labor rights that those in free countries have. They are paid less, and might not have the same work place safety requirements, for example. Another problem, caused by relying upon Asian countries for foot wear is that the Mongolian race have feet that are the inverse opposite of other people. There feet are narrow, where others are wide, and vice versa. Currently I myself am wearing New Balance shoes. I need to not only have size 13 , but also extra wide. So I am concerned to an extent by this developement. I feel that what is needed is fair trade, rather than free trade. And also that companies should take into consideration the special personal requirements of there customers, and take steps to accomodate them. I've found it next to impossible to find suitable shoes at major chain stores. So I've been shopping at one of the few family owned stores that still exist, called "Neals". http://www.cherokeeuniformshop.com/ http://www.merchantcircle.com/business/Neals.Shoes.And.Uniforms.440-993-8713

NAACP Condemns Neal Boortz's Violent Comments.

http://www.11alive.com/news/article/194992/40/Critics-condemn-Boortz-rant-on-violent-crime I just heard on the radio this evening that a number of people found what Neal Boortz said to have been racially charged. I myself feel that they are implicitive, but not explicitly indicitive, of refering to inner city blacks. Here is why. 1. He refers to them as being urban. Whom else would you expect to find in an urban setting? And since Atlanta is a city itself, the word urban is redundant. 2. The word thug is historicly associated with perpetrators whom were of a colored people. It is borrowed into English from the Hindi word "thuggee". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thuggee Dark skinned people from southern India would prey upon the priviledged light skinned people from the north. I also feel that his calls for "thugs" to be shot dead in the streets is ambiguous in context. Did he just mean that they should be met with deadly armed force in the course of armed robberies on there part, or does he favor retaliatory attacks upon the villages where they live? I think that some people are afraid that someone might become motivated by this to engage in vigilante actions. Sort of like in the book, and film, "Death Wish". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_Wish Incidently, I know that Mr. Boortz is ideologicly a neolibertarian. http://wikibin.org/articles/neolibertarianism.html So unlike other libertarians, he might not necessarily oppose taking the initiative in combating criminal gangs. Other libertarians, including left-libertarians, oppose the idea of commiting aggression for any reason. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonaggression_principle Though we certainly do recognise the personal right to defend oneself with purportionate force. But to single out an entire segment of people infringes upon the concept of indivisual responsibility. A particular group of people should not therefore be held to be guilty by association. I hope that Neal Boortz will clarify his remarks, if he did not intend for it to be taken to mean what some are insinuating.

Americans in Canada Are Being Denied Citizenship, As One Son Has Both Asperger, and Tourette Syndrome.http://www.thestar.com/news/article/100

http://www.thestar.com/news/article/1008827--immigration-says-son-with-asperger-s-inadmissible-to-canada So much for me potentionally going into exile to Canada, if some repressive right-wing regime were to take power here in America. (eyeroll) I feel that those with disabilities do not pose an undue burden upon the healthcare system, as long as they can contribute by paying taxes. So just because one has a recognised disability, it shouldn't mean that one should not be permitted to immigrate. Also though I myself likewise have symptoms of both A.S. , and T.S. , I have never taken any prescription medication as a result. So this might not even be an issue in this case either. So to summarise, socialised medicine creates an economy of scale, in which all adult citizens pay into. And which all citizens mutually benefit from, including autists, and/or other neuro-diverse people.

Touretters Face Continued Job Discrimination

http://www.lehighvalleylive.com/warren-county/express-times/index.ssf/2011/06/hackettstown_man_accuses_two_t.html Now just how then are those of us with Tourette Syndrome supposed to be able to support ourselves financially, if we're not guarenteed earned income? If we are not granted employment opportunities, then we'd have not choice but to go on disability. But it is difficult to win an SSI claim, and besides we shouldn't be expected to. At least the subject of the above article doesn't suffer from coprolalia, unlike the man in this case. http://caselaw.findlaw.com/mi-court-of-appeals/1062748.html I just feel that all people should have the right, and duty, to work for a living. Something which was recognised under the Soviet constitution no less. "ARTICLE 118. Citizens of the U.S.S.R. have the right to work, that is, are guaranteed the right to employment and payment for their work in accordance With its quantity and quality. The right to work is ensured by the socialist organization of the national economy, the steady growth of the productive forces of the Soviet society, the elimination of the possibility of economic crisises, and the abolition of unemployment." And furthermore I believe that indivisuals should not expect to have the right not to feel offended. Coprolaliacs work, live, and shop, all around you. As Abraham Lincoln once said, "better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak up and remove all doubt". So though some might not like me stating so, I feel that any woman whom complains when touretters blurt out the word "b***h" , and/or a black person whom gives grief over hearing a touretter utter the word "n****r", is behaving like the epiphets in question. For those with coprolalia do not intend to speak inappropiately. When this particular symptom strikes it happens in a blink of an eye, and often there is not enough time to do anything about it. This song describes the experience well. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WhIlqBqRtuw
