This blog came into existence for the purpose of letting a small portion of the populace know that they aren't alone in their disgust. I don't particularly care if you agree or not.
The title was chosen for the specific purpose of letting folks know that if they have a sacred cow, I have just the barbeque sauce to put on it. It appears that every sacred cow came into existence from a belief system. After all, it can't be sacred unless and until a belief existed to support it. Perhaps "The Belief Barbeque Sauce Emporium" would be a more apt title, but it failed to capture the essence of the project.
My intent is to present every dumbass idea, program and belief that catches my attention. I will engage in search and destroy missions to render the sacred cows just another bit of roadkill on the highway of life. The harsh reality is that once a belief mechanism is in place, all evidence contrary to the belief is indigestible. Beliefs will not and can not acknowledge any conflicting ideas, data or proofs.
One thing that can be counted on is a strict adherence to the ideals presented in the U.S. Constitution. Any argument that begins with the idea that the Constitution is subject to interpretation based upon the notion that the framers had no idea of change is ridiculous. If we accept that argument, we must accept the idea that the framers were stupid, n, to be incapable of learning. Article IV sec.4 specifically states that we are guaranteed a Republican form of government. Thus circular reasoning infers the Constitution is the supreme law of the land and we have a representative government with the government bound by the law. Democracy is mob rule. Look it up in the dictionary.
Most of this blob will be philosophical in nature and use logical argumentation. The philosophy is fairly simple: existentialism. In simplish (a contraction of simple english), I am directly and solely responsible for my actions, words and self. No person, party or government can tender a claim to the contrary. I would further argue that unless and until direct evidence is presented that real and quantifiable harm has been caused, I am not responsible for any of your problems. Such is the nature of existentialism.
A few ideas to keep in mind.
The paraphrased "Laws of Thermodynamics."
Everything is connected to everything.
Everything has to go somewhere.
There ain't no such thing as a free lunch.

I offer no advise beyond pursuing knowledge and wisdom. No person, party or government can steal, tax or regulate the knowledge and wisdom you have painfully gained.
How will you know if it is knowledge? Knowledge is proven by application. If it is truly knowledge, the result is known beforehand.
But how about wisdom? Ah here it gets confusing. You won't know beyond personal success. But others will look to you as a sounding board, a dissenting voice in the mob and as a constant in their life.

I can think of no reason to defend my arguments. I present them without cost, therefore you can claim no wrong was committed.
