Twitter / AP: BREAKING: Secretary of State ...

I thought it must have been a bit more serious.  Here is hoping that this remarkable woman gets well soon.

LA offers groceries for guns

LA offers groceries for guns in annual buyback

The Question of the Day is this:  "Why do all of these concerned citizens want to turn in these weapons.?  Who do they believe they are helping or protecting?"  Is this supposed to be because of the rampant violence in our country or is there another reason?

I like to believe in the goodness of my fellow man, but even I have to wonder about what has transpired.  Groceries for guns sound like a great idea.  So I have to still wonder, considering the price of guns, why would people give them up so willingly and in such numbers?  I am curious as to the original underlying reason for the purchase of these weapons.  Have situations changed so dramatically for so many people that weapons are no longer needed?  Or, have multitudes of criminals suddenly changed for the better?

Maybe the news media will offer some explanation in the near future.  As they say, "Anything is possible."

Gun Contol or People control

I ran across this extremely interesting video related to the current gun control debates.  I would suggest that you watch.

American society has changed so drastically this past half century that we can no longer look past the possibilities, no...probabilities that this could, in some form, happen here.

Gun Discussion Continues

And, so the gun control discussion continues....

Oath of Anarchy

Sometimes even social distortions can have a fun side.  Check out this Oath of Anarchy .

Map: Where are the gun permits in your neighborhood? | The Journal News | LoHud.com | lohud.com

There are many that would argue against information being gathered like this on gun permits in your neighborhood..  It i,s however, needed.  In fact, much of this is outdated.  But to be able to retrieve it through the Freedom of Information Act to publicize in a newspaper is totally unacceptable.  It is outrageous that everyday criminals can access this information to use in whatever nefarious manner they wish.  Terrorists would have field day with this kind of information

Gun permits are necessary and need to be tracked, but not by the open public.  Your neighborhood is not safe enough as it is by any stretch of the imagination.  Hopefully journalists can realize the folly of this course of endeavor.

Change for Homeless

The winds of time always bring with them a change.  Sometimes it is for the better, other times it is for the worse.  Nevertheless, change is inevitable.  Anchorage Alaska has been the sight of a recent social change that many would think improbable.

For years the Holy Catholic Church located in downtown Anchorage Alaska has helped the downtrodden and helpless by providing food, shelter and other amenities that would aid in their socially misbegotten lives. The pastor announced last month that they would no longer help the indigent because of safety concerns for parishioners.  It seems that the very people they are trying to help are just not trying to help themselves..

This is a turnaround in policy that may find itself copied in other areas leading to a socially distorted domino effect.  It is obvious that the concerns of the church must be dealt with properly.  But, when mankind begins to turn its back on their own, this can only lead to social chaos.

Gun Control discussions taken to the brink

Since the shootings at Newtown, Connecticutt there have been may discussions on gun control that have been taken to the brink.  The Hannity show is one good example shown in the video below.

You know, I gotta say, I thought I had seen just about everything related to social distortions.  But, today, I saw the above article on my twitter account.  Let me tell you, I am still not over the laughter that ensued.  I guess the Ayatollah just wants a little help from his friends, LOL!!

Anyway check out the story and let me know what you think....I can't wait.

Woman injured in sex romp given worker's comp

Business woman injured in sex romp gets worker's comp

It does not matter what a person was doing on their own time during a business trip, just so long as was not of an illegal nature.  However funny the incident may seem, being injured during a sex session can definitely hurt someone's psyche.  Kudos on the court

Jenni Rivera: Mexico search finds wreck of plane

BBC News - Jenni Rivera: Mexico search finds wreck of plane

So many musicians die in plane crashes. Jenni Rivera is the next fatality to be reported.  From my end of the hispanic community, my heartfelt wishes go out to her family and friends, "con amor."

What are my rights?

There was nothing to this encounter and yet I was disturbed. Was it within the officers right to ask for my identification or were they overstepping their bounds? My feeling was that they had no right. If they had a warrant in their hands, then they should try to serve it with due process. Only if there is something evident that seems suspicious or false in nature, then should they ask for identification. ( continue reading )

BBC News - Marijuana decriminalised in Washington state

Having once been a user in my younger and more foolish years, I can understand the joy that many people are experiencing today, with the announcement of legal marijuana in Washington State.  Nowadays, I recognize the inherent risks of marijuana use and the possible effects that legalization may bring.  But, a part of me is happy.

BBC News - US Congress passes 'Magnitsky' rule on Russia trade law

Finally a law that makes a little sense. But why not apply this principle to other countries that undoubtedly make human rights violations? A good first step. It will be curious as to the reaction from Russian officials and what the backlash may be.

When was the last time you saw an actual, bonafide, in working order...pay phone?  Living in the Houston - Galveston metroplex area for the major part of my life, I simply do not remember the last time I spied a pay phone.  I do remember the lines were cut and the money box broken.  Check out the photo link

Does the Universe Have a Purpose?

Does the Universe Have a Purpose? feat. Neil deGrasse Tyson - YouTube

Everyday I come across this question as it might relate to social distortions.   After listening to this video I have to wonder even more.  Taking the question another step, does man have any purpose?  I have to believe that he does, but that purpose, whatever it may be, is not necessarily written in stone.  I believe it is still an untold story.  I also believe that no matter what happens, whatever happens first is always a prelude to the next happening.  As long as there is one...then there is another.
