Cop Killer

The man talks with animation about his holster. The holster is designed to prevent the gun user from shooting himself in the foot, even if he quickly draws his weapon in an emergency.

The man is slight, fastidious in a messaged T-shirt. He has a thinly cut mustache and clearly fusses over his hair. We are all standing near the roller coaster at an amusement park. He is talking to a large woman who is a good listener. As the cars race by overhead, he regrets not having been in the donut shop in Washington where the cops were shot by the violent felon. He would, he says, have had no hesitation in drawing his gun and shooting the felon, which would have saved the lives of the cops.

Should we hope that this citizen gets his chance to shoot a violent felon?

Koran Burning

Instead of not burning the Koran, let's burn all religious texts to ritualistically rid ourselves of violent clinging to belief. The burning would take place monthly for however long it takes for there to be a collective release from violent belief and action in all forms.

Some religions have a surplus of religious texts -- billions. Other religions have fewer copies. Have you ever seen the Buddhist Samytta Nikaya in a motel room drawer?
Religions with fewer texts would be allowed to use effigies.

Free accordion Bait

I have a surplus of accordion bait which I will make available soon.

Pizza and Mutilation

I took my son to the local pizzeria. The nature channel warned viewers that the human encounters with animals was violent and disturbing. Thanks for the warning. I didn't' wait around to see if the crocodile ripped the mans arm off or just spun it in knots in the manner of cartoons.

What percentage of the population will sit with their family and watch human mutilation with their pizza? This is not a rhetorical question.

Quiet! Meditation in Progress

The meditation center has been remodeled. The interior is very middle class now. The floor has been glued and screwed so it doesn't squeak -- a real karma multiplier! Now that the hall is optimum, a new and noisier practitioner has been appearing; those who wander around with tea, go to the bathroom often, arrive wearing cologne, hunt for their singing cellphones, read fliers on the tables or bang pots in the kitchen. The net gain in silence is actually a loss.

Moral -- Rent space in liberal Protestant churches.

Sam Trans

Standing in front of a glass-enclosed bus shelter, I noticed that I looked fat. I'm not skinny, but I'm not fat either. I'm now putting Sam Tran on notice that I will begin a petition drive to install flattering glass panels on the walls where bus patrons are most likely to stand and notice their reflection. The self-image of the poorer citizens in our county should be given some consideration.

Look for the petition soon in your neighborhood.

Toilet Privileges and Miscegenation

Recently a Southern Justice of the Peace (JP) refused to issue marriage licenses to mixed-race couples because he believed that their children would suffer. The children would not be accepted by the families of the parents. He claimed he was not a racist and even let Blacks use his bathroom.

Let's quickly pass over everything difficult in race relations and get right to the use of one's bathroom by the "Other," any other, even one's own mother.
Now, does this JP stand on his front porch and invite strangers to use his bathroom? Is it common knowledge that if your plumbing is clogged you can go over to the JP's house and do your business? Does so and so's third cousin, just home from jail or a treatment center, run in with the runs? Sure, use the toilet, I'll make you a cup of coffee.

The toilet topic opens up like a sewer in a shanty town, but I won't persue it. Just think Airport Restroom for a while.
