politics

politics are a touchy subject for all because it effects all. but when someone voices their idea as an "opinion" no one gets upset but when one person contradicts their opinion we enter the dance of politics. It is a natural occurance (politics) with the capability of exchanging ideas we can mold and change into (and with) ideas. But when you say "lets talk politics" you may have said you lit live puppies on fire. Most cases the room goes quiet and you get ignored. Why is it that politics pull such responses from us? most people won't talk politics unless its either their profession or they are with people they have known for some time. I don't say what they have in common because it is rare that one person would find another who thinks exactly as they do. Politics take place in every day life we just don't think of them as politics such as "where should we go to eat?", "clean your room or get a spanking" examples of a democracy and a tyranny. We as a people will never reach a stasis if people continue to ignore and avoid political views that are unlike their own.

Captain Crunch

I found out early this morning that the cereal Captain Crunch is going off the shelves. given that I am not full on the facts (word of mouth though they did elaborate a little on the subject) but what it came down to was the sugar content...Really? Sugar is sugar and Captain Crunch had been around for...well since 1963 (you do the math), but suddenly now it is dangerous? As are cokes (and other soda pops), certain vegetables/fruits, candies, car parts, string, etcetera. Cokes were much more dangerous back when there was a reason it was called "coke" (cocain for you clean people). Some fruits have been declared (grapes, apples) unhealthy due to the "natural" sugar. Natural, c'mon what're you gunna do? Candies yea they are nothing but sugary goodness. My point being these items have been around for years my parents ate them, my grandparents, my great-great grandparents and they often ate worse "unhealthy" foods (I have an odd family i'm not going into details). People are going to eat whatever they feel like. Like the man who ate car parts to break a record. In highschool we had a string lab all it did was attach to a drill bit and spin our teacher pointed out that the instructions simply said "do not consume" meaning someone did or tried to do so. Humans have to eat to live. And they are going to eat whatever is available which in our society is vast and delicious (ha!). Denying someone there right of choice steps on the toes of their right to expression (you wanna eat bugs go ahead, can't eat pork that's cool too). Understandably if the company shuts down for financial reasons or they put lead in each box gotcha, death bringing habits. Sugar is a NATURAL phenomenon has been around since the beginning of time to say now that it is simply unacceptable to eat so much sugar in one bite is unethical (if your religious its immoral). They are taking away these products because they have to much sugar (artificial or not) what next are they going to take sugar bags off the counter? Regulate sugar like ciggarettes. Must be 21 to obtain...like to see them outlaw apples. If you are a health nut (respect) eat organic if you'd like but don't deny me my options of being a couch potato (respect) because you don't like my life style. Don't like it, don't eat it.

RANDOM THOUGHT OF THE DAY!!!! (drum roll). Someone had posted about how sex sells and how it negatively affects images. Which really only is half touching on what I thought of today. Sex is in everything today clothing, candies, desserts, etc... Well my idea was since it (sex) sells so much and people find novelty toys and brick-a-brack funny why not have novelty/sex medicines? A smile makes the day brighter/better and who wouldn't laugh when given a cough drop shaped like a boob? (haha mental imagery is amusing) I know there is the whole thing that kids are getting ahold of some of these novelty shops but since I wouldn't like to see...okay I had some rude names made up too. But I would expect these sex medicines only in novelty shops not really intended for large scale public use but just to make someone feel better.
