Humble Opinions

 1.  VP Harris?  I think she's wired-up (mentally speaking) to jumble six thoughts into a 44-word sentence...whenever possible.  

I also think she's been that way all the way through high school and university.

I also don't think you can fix this, or cure her of this mental behavior (unless alcohol is involved).  

2.  If you gave most kids the choice of a drag-queen story hour, or an hour of circus clowns.....in 99-percent of the cases, the kids would select the circus clowns.

3.  Whatever definition guys had for 'whores' in the 1970s.....probably still works today.  No evolution or change has occurred.

4.  Presently, I'd say the brightest kid in some 6th-grade class....probably could debate President Biden and in 50-percent of cases....win the debate. 

5.  Tucker Carlson episode.  If you sell a flavor/brand of ice cream, and one-quarter of your profits revolve around that flavor/brand, you don't want to wake up and realize your whole operation is intensely attached to that flavor.  Fox came to that moment, and will attempt to invent a new flavor to make you happy.  If you don't like....then go elsewhere (we still live in a place where a thousand flavors exist).

6.  Existing without an ID on you.  I believe you can still exist in America....without any form of ID.  Naturally, you'd be living in some shack....gathering firewood, relying upon your good health and no prescription drugs.  You wouldn't be cashing checks, owning a car, or flying in a plane.  But you could survive, in the barest fashion possible.  But part of me just wonders....is this what people generally set as goals?

7.  Temptation is a cruel master....particularly if you are in a all-you-can-eat-buffet-restaurant.  A big platter of crappy two-star food....replaces logic/reasoning.   

8.  1991 was the last time that I touched a rotary phone.  I just started to think about that this week.  Over thirty years ago.....and I haven't missed it a single bit.

9.  The idea that all these dedicated transwomen will wake up and realize that only gay guys are interested in them....idolizing them for being a guy looking like a gal.....will unsettle the whole reality approaching us at lightning speed.

10.  I think we've reached a point where being 'kind'....probably won't work with a quarter of the population.  Once you identify such people....being 'unkind' is the only method to handle their behavior.  

Regulating Things Talk

 In my home state (Alabama)....there was a funny turn of events this week.

For over 200 years, the state had never seen a need to regulate drag shows.  They had regulated just about every 'arousal' show that had ever been introduced around the state, and decided this week...that things needed to be made clear on drag hows.

The new law basically says....you won't have a drag show in a library, a school or in the presence of school-age kids. Anywhere else?  Appears ok....if you wanted to do it at a gas station, cattle-sales barn, stripper bar....not a problem.  

I sat and pondered over this.  In 1977 when I graduated high school, if you'd brought up drag shows....most folks would have thought you meant 'tractor-pulls', then you would have corrected them.

Then they would have responded that yeah, they'd been at comedy shows (like the Grand Ole Oprey (GOO) type)....where men dressed up as ugly women.  In this case....you would have correct them again....saying it wasn't a ugly woman contest....but the 'OTHER' type.

In the whole state in 1977....I doubt if there was a single club that featured drag shows.  I might go as far as suggesting that drag shows probably didn't start to be a thing until after 2000.  

Today?  Far as I know....there's just one single place in the state which is a authentic drag show club, and it's in Birmingham.  That's it.  

Again, I go back to the GOO-mentality...I'd suggest that still today (2023)....a quarter of the population thinks what you are talking about is a ugly women contest with guys participating in comedy.

Did we need some law?  It's hard to say....but suggesting that some drag-queen show was open to 8-year old kids, why wouldn't the same 8-year old kids get a right to see a authentic topless stripper show (my humble opinion)?

It just seems like we are on some path where 'shock-values' are seeing how far things can go....before just about anything is accepted....even a 12-year old marrying another 12-year old.
