About Me

Hello my fellow Politiores Troglodytes. This Blog is a collection of Posts, Poems, & Short Stories that I write on a daily basis. If you find it entertaining, informative, and controversial, then I have done my job properly. Thank goodness too, because Karma has been on my case of late. I'm supposed to bring fifty people into the fold or I'll have to give back the part of Einstein's brain I inherited. No, I'm not one of the Scientists who got a piece of his brain when he died. Karma said, "Eat this knowledge. It'll make you smarter!" The bargain I made with Karma was, if I could change fifty people into Politiores Populos, I would be rewarded with my very own Lamborghini. So, that's my story and I'm sticking to it! Like what you're reading, then read on. P.S. Populo is Latin for people. Politiores is Latin for educated. Troglodytes is English for troglodytes. And Einstein's brain was stolen by Thomas Stoltz Harvey after his death in 1955 and eventually divvied up into 240 pieces. If you just read that last sentence, then you have just learned something and I'm just that much closer to fulfilling my commitment to Karma!

Guns Don't Kill People, Stupid Politicians Kill People

With more than 20 People Shot last night at an Alabama birthday party, with only four deaths, and Two Deaths, with four injured in Louisville, I thought this Post from February 26th, 2016 would help explain on how I feel about Gun Control. And don't tell me about the bullshit lies where "Guns don't kill people, people kill people."
This is playing right into the Republican's hand where they get richer and they have the poor killing each other over scraps so they can claim during election time that "We need more white supremacy type of cops to protect our streets so we can let them run wild and kill innocent civilians too! For a safer America!" Yes, it's my opinion. Yet here are some facts.
*******
And when you thought people couldn't get any more ignorant, 
here comes the 
"Iowa Lawmakers, (Who) Approve Bill That Would Let Kids Have Handguns." By Kim Bellware for The Huffington Post.
I thought
Texas
had a bunch of
Jackasses
for
Lawmakers,
"Texas 'open carry' law passes, allowing guns in holsters on the street." The Guardian.
"Texas lawmakers approved carrying handguns openly on the streets of the nation’s second most populous state on Friday, sending the bill to the Republican governor, Greg Abbott, who is expected to sign it and reverse a ban dating to the post-civil war era."
I'm sure all the republican people living in
Iowa
were so upset by
Texas
beating them out on the
"Open Carry Law,"
that the only thing they could think of to do,
to be ahead of them in ignorance was to,
"Give Guns To Children."
"Children of all ages in Iowa would be able to lay down their toy guns and pick up the real thing under a bill that passed the state House of Representatives. Statehouse Republicans, including the bill's sponsor, Rep. Jake Highfill, said the the legislation was an issue of parents' rights designed to correct "an injustice in Iowa code” that now forbids children 14 and younger from handling pistols. Allowing people to learn at a young age the respect that a gun commands is one of the most important things you can do,” Highfill told The Washington Post on Wednesday. The alternative, he said, is “turning 18 with no experience.”
If we only had a system in place
that could teach someone how to handle a gun?
I know that setting up
Classes
at a
Firing Range
with specially
Professionally Trained Marksman
to teach people,
Under Age,
how to handle a firearms would start a whole new industry.
And who would train the
Professionals Trainers?
But we already have these moronic
Laws
in place with kids killing kids.
Couldn't the
Law
have specified,
before a youth was allowed to have a pistol,
even under parental supervision,
they would have to have these
Classes With A Professional
and then be
Certified
before they got a gun?
If you ask me,
most parents don't even know how to handle a gun.
I knew a few grownups who carried guns
and they didn't have a clue on the safety issues.
Some of them are in jail now
and the other is dead from a self inflicted wound.
Stupid people think you can carry a gun in their belt instead of a holster.
I wouldn't want their children carrying guns around if they were taught by their parents who thought it was cool just to carry one!

If you are thinking of getting a gun,
check these websites out
and maybe we will have one less accidental shootings.

And

“The fascination of shooting as a sport depends almost wholly on whether you are at the right or wrong end of the gun.” - P.G -

That is my story and I am sticking to it!
