Rants Of A Future Curmudgeon

Its Sad To Say: There Grammar Is Worse Than You’re Own

So let me get this straight.  We pay zillions of dollars in income and property taxes to “educate” other people’s children.  Those brats get carted off in long, gas-guzzling yellow boxes for eight hours a day, five days a week, ten months a year, from age five to eighteen.
And at the other end of this [...]

How To Become Our Next President

We live in crazy times indeed.  The most insolvent entity in the history of civilization just whipped out its checkbook and wrote a $700 billion check in an attempt to fix a mess of its own creation.  If the federal government were subject to the same rules that apply to you or me, it would [...]

Car Alarms Suck

Who was the moron who designed the modern car alarm?  If a blaring horn or some hideous screeching noise is going to chase away a car thief, then it is going to do it in the first five seconds, don’tcha think?
But no, car alarms have to grind on endlessly, while everyone in the neighborhood hopes [...]

Rewarding Bad Aim

Could someone please explain to me why the penalties for murder and attempted murder are different?  They both involve the same criminal intention to kill someone, right?  So why do we increase the punishment for those competent enough to do it right?
It’s the same thing with drunk driving.  Those that were lucky enough not to hit someone [...]

A Heartbeat Away!

Holy crap!  I suspect that most previous presidents and candidates presented themselves as God-fearing in order to protect their electability, but Sarah Palin is a true believer!
We need a rational thinker at the helm [...]

How Religion Will Be Judged In The Future

From today’s news, a quote regarding the uncertain path of Hurricane Hanna: “Hopefully the good Lord will bless us and this storm will skirt past, but we are ready in whatever case happens,” the North Charleston mayor said.
Here it is, 2008, and it is surreal that the vast majority of Americans believe in an invisible [...]

Fiery Explosion #763 Coming Soon To A Theater Near You!

Ugh, why does every other movie trailer that comes out now have to include a scene of some badass walking toward the camera completely stone-faced while an enormous fireball erupts in the background?  The first time this was done in film, it was pretty freakin’ cool.  Then, the second time, well, it was still pretty cool.  Then [...]

About

My name is John. I have opinions about everything, especially about how to solve world problems. Most of my rants have to do with the runaway stupidity on this planet. If you don't agree with my views, that's OK - it's a free country (kinda). Just don't mistake this site for a democracy!
