Heritage and Hate at Ole Miss

Wonderful article from The Daily Beast about hate and racism at Ole Miss (The University of Mississippi). It is sad that the schools in Mississippi are still as racist as they are. Actually it's sad that people are as racist as they are.

Will the day ever come when one person looks as another and does not see a black, white, gay, straight, Christian, Muslim, atheist, transgender, Hispanic, Asian (etc) person but sees simply a HUMAN BEING? Must we classify everything and then align stereotypes to those things? Must we be scared to walk down the same street as a black kid without automatically thinking they're up to no good and deserve to be shot?

The entire state of Mississippi has a racism problem and as someone who lives there I see it everyday. I'm simply lucky to have been born Caucasian in this state rather than of some other race. My hope is that someday people will not be so full of hatred for things different than they are but will appreciate the differences we have. And celebrate them. But it's hard to think that day will come when every February I have to hear how we should not have a Black History Month and every time a black is on television I have to hear "fucking niggers should all die" - and yes that actually happens. Even though people in other places don't see how it is I can tell you for sure iy is certainly very real.

Why must we spend so much energy hating people?

Standing Ovation For Rand Paul?

Rand Paul actually has a good chance of making a legitimate bid for president, and on alot of stuff he is right. (Not everything, but alot.) He'd be a decent choice but he probably won't run in '16, more likely in 2020 (depending on who wins in 2016).

"Rand Paul is right, and all Republicans would do well to follow his example. One can be conservative without being indecent. Paul is the former, Nugent is the latter, and Cruz cannot make up his mind, which is why someday Paul may be a serious candidate for president while Cruz merely speaks for the freak show wing of the lunatic far right."

New Space Neighborhood Watch Program by Air Force

Not a bad idea at all. But what struck me was this: " The Air Force currently tracks about 23,000 pieces of orbiting debris bigger than about 4 inches. These range from old rocket bodies to the remains of an exploded Chinese satellite."

23,000 pieces? Nice... It is not enough to litter on Earth, people just throw junk in space and leave it there too. Someday, someone will have to clean it up. You can't keep throwing stuff out there forever. (Not that I'm going to do it *myself* or anything, but logically, that day will come.)

Is Obama really a Muslim: A tired old argument

I have never seen any evidence proving that he is a practicing Muslim. He doesn't believe in any of the Muslim traditional practices. He's never been seen praying five times a day though that is required of all Muslims. He said that he is not a Muslim. If he was then why would he deny it? Most Muslims are proud of their beliefs and Allah. So many rules of the Muslim community would make him speak, write, and behave differently than he does.

Just because his dad may have been Muslim doesn't mean that he is. Nobody should say that he is something that they don't know him to be. It's a ridiculous claim meant to strike fear in the conservative Christians who are scared of Muslims because of terrorism. But not all Muslims are terrorists. Some are. Some Americans are too. Some Mexican people, Asian people and African people are too.
