White People Do Not Have a Monopoly on Racism.
The thing that interests me about racism is how, in a backhanded sort of way, it shows how far we have come.
It used to be that there was no "white people", there were Germans , Italians , English, French , and they all either tolerated or hated each other no matter the color of their skin. And that was progress compared to the nameless various tiny tribes that hated each other.

SL Letter of the Day: I'm Out.
So, if cunt is out, what is a good "I hate you so much right now I urgently hope you die cold and alone with all of your hopes, dreams, and aspirations either brutally shattered or hideously perverted, while writhing in a pool of your own filth screaming to a God that either does not exist or has forsaken you" word for women? I use dick with a particular emphasis which conveys the point pretty well for men, but nothing for women.

Your Dog Sucks.
Wow. In my whole day I see around three dogs as I drive to work. I actually felt bad for the owners today as it was raining.
And to whoever it was that said cats don't care about you. That isn't always true. Some breeds or individuals are little shits just like dogs. On the other hand, get a nice lap cat like a tonkinese and they will imprint on you like a little boxer. Only you, though. They will tolerate everyone else.

What a Wonderful World It Would Be.
@13. There is sometimes a difference. I know that I use the term evangelical to refer to people who aren't even Christians. Evangelical atheists, for example bug me just as much as evangelical Christians and for the same reason.

What Happens to Medical Pot Patients When Their Pot Clinic's Doctor Has His License Suspended?.
I think that the back door legalization that medical marijuana represents is nothing short of atrocious. I think that one of the best parts about legalization of recreational use is that it will purge the rottenness of kids with nebulous medical issues from the system so that those who actually use it as a serious medicine can have access, both in Washington and in other states where "medical" is used as a club to beat activists over the head with. The Illinois and New Jersey mmj restrictions? Thanks fake medical users!

Where the Global Rich Hide Their Money.
This is very similar to what is happening even in onshore legit finances. It used to be that most investment correlated to some type of industrial growth. Nowadays most investment vehicles are little more than bits on an accounting computer shifting between one rich person's account to another's whic removes everything from the circulating economy outside of what they pay for their lifestyle.

The Thursday Morning News.
.... I really hope the West Virginia guy's defense is that he shot the sherrif but he didn't shoot the deputy. Maybe say how sherrif John brown always hated him.
