So I’ve noticed a trend in recent years. This trend is to create these new and amazing bits of hardware that are, for the most part, just advanced versions of existing equipment. And then price them at absolutely obsurd prices. A prime example of this is the NEC CRV43. Why is that a prime example of what I’m talking about? Because none of the technology used in that monitor is new. The only interesting point is the fact that its a 43″ widescreen monitor. Even moreso the 43″ is solely in the width portion of the monitor. Not the whole monitor.

Religion: Good or Bad?
I tend to be one to think about the big picture from time to time. I like to sit back and try and get a feel for a topic. I’ll mull it over for a few hours and just generally see what I come up with. More than once I’ve gravitated towards the topic of religion. This make sense seeing as its such a close to the heart topic for pretty much everyone in one form or another. Over the years I’ve thought about what I personally believe in, how I feel about what other people believe in and generally what kinds of impacts it has on our lives as a whole.
After a considerably amount of thinking I’ve come to a conclusion. That conclusion is that Religion is probably the single most destructive concept to be created by mankind to date. Second to that is a legal system that is more concerned about lining their pockets with cash than actually working to protect out lives and liberties. But thats a whole different article to be written.
Its a Vicious Circle
I swear I will never understand how our modern owrld has come to be. Its almost like a group of people sat down and went ‘Hmm. lets think of the most inefficient and stupide way of doing things. We’ll keep thinking these things trying to one up eachother. And when we finally can’t think of anything more rediculous and stupid than the last idea, THAT’S the idea we’ll use.’
What spurred this on? Simple. apparently I got a parking ticket at sometime in the past. But these guys in all their brilliance just leave the ticket sitting on the car. No way of being sure the person actually gets it. Just ‘Swoop’ there we go. Ticket sitting on the car. Cause obviously nothing could ever possibly happen to that ticket. I get a letter threatening suspended license and a warrant for my arrest if I don’t pay off a parking ticket -I’VE NEVER SEEN-. Not to mention, isn’t arrest a little hefty for a $60 expired tag parking ticket? I mean seriously. Like our penal system wasn’t under enough pressure as it is. Now we have to incarcerate anyone affiliated with weed, legal or not, and random people who just had the misfortune of not getting the ticket that some jackass just set on the windshield!
At anyrate, now I have to take time off work to go deal with this so I don’t get any disruptions to my ability to drive or walk around free. Both of which are things I tend to like having access to.
Welcome to America. Land of the free indeed.
Tax Day
I have only one sentence to sum up my feelings in general for today.
‘Taxes Suck’
They are far too stressful for their own good and cause too many headaches.
Political Pains.
Wow. Three posts in one day. And almost all of them about Politics. Not sure if thats a good thing or not since I don’t try to be a politically oriented site. But I guess today is all about pushing my political rant button.
Where started this one? Well thats simple. McCain. Not John McCain. His daughter. I was reading some article about her on Politico and I couldn’t help but wonder why nobody is pointing out the obvious. That if this wasn’t the female daughter of the failed Presidential Candidate who is also a outspoken member of the floundering GOP, you wouldn’t hear a thing about her. They play it up how she’s doing her civic duty. But in truth all of the things she has coming to her now as a result of her daddy being a well known leader and has absolutely nothing to do with any real talent of her own.
I mean really:
Quoted from Politico:
Turns out that a McCain did emerge from the 2008 election victorious — not the captivity-surviving, straight-talking, Palin-picking Republican senator from Arizona but his Bud Light-drinking, talk-show-appearing, insouciantly Twittering 24-year-old daughter.“My cab driver is totally vibing me out,” Meghan McCain Twittered to her online devotees Thursday evening. “Just asked me if my cheekbones are real? Wtf, u can have fake cheekbones???”
Yep, that’s the one.
