Libertarian Love

Today I am thankful for all the laughs I get from my dorky statist friends.

They tell me that in a perfect Libertarian world....we would live like Mad Max.

I kid you not!!!

Isn't that flippin' funny?

I mean...I see a world where people could grow food in their front yard and not be arrested.

They see mass starvation.

I see a world where a woman escaping an abusive relationship could change her name, move without getting permission of her ex, live in secrecy, and babysit children without having to save up money for government mandated classes and fees.

They see poverty.

How do I get it through to them?

You can either get in the way....

or empower.

They see Thunderdome. I see Freewill.

Oh...man... I don't know what to say.

So, when they pick on me for having a Libertarian love interest....what do I say?

Yeah, yeah...this is me...

And, I'm going to take my ideas from another Mad Max 80's video and tie him up...

(not a big fan of the song...too many belching sounds in it.)

What's wrong with being free?

Huh?

Equality is hotter than anything on the damn planet.

I bet that's more hot than anything my liberal buddies do.

I'm not sure my friend would let me role play obnoxious statist dirty TSA agent. If it's done right, it could be fun...maybe...

And, maybe they just want to take a look at how their over zealous regulation of every flippin' thing puts people in poverty. If I have to live like Mad Max, it's going to be because of a dumb bunch of commie liberals and conservative RINOs.

They try to be heroes and they screw everything up.

Sigh...

If people could love each other without greed, the world would be a better place.

Make it easier for people to be who they are, stop making it hard for people to share resources, and stop regulating people out of their occupations to give corporations a leg up.

I'm tempted to take 100 sandwiches downtown to feed the homeless and see if the cops arrest me for not having a permit. Guess who made the laws making it illegal to feed homeless people? The people who raise taxes promising to help the homeless before banning them from the city.

If I knew my stalker would leave me alone, I would find it fun to get the press.

Someday....

And, for my politician friends....please remember....We Don't Need Another Hero!!

Stalker Proxy Phone Calls

What kind of songs do narcissistic stalkers sing? I imagine they sing songs like this. I am grateful now that I understand why the stalker has people call but wish they'd listen when I ask them not to call again. I probably should document this somewhere. My ex was talking to an old friend of mine from high school on a daily basis. She is his cousin. I had to quit talking to her when she'd ask me to plan parties and then refuse to give me the guest list saying that the attendees would only be me, her, my stalker Shannon, and my NPD mother-in-law. She wanted me to plan interventions. This happened with a baby shower. It also happened with a wedding. The in-laws put together a fake wedding trying to host an intervention to shame me and my ex into doing things for them (like quit school and give them my car). I had to cut this so-called friend off over that in 2004....

The Love Gods Have a Sense of Humor

Today I am thankful about the ever-changeable, ever-humorous universe. It is said that 'in life, the only constant is change.' Ah, this is a true tidbit, isn't it? I recently vowed NOT to date until Michael officially moves out of the house. I also vowed NOT to be close to him unless he signs up for FOO (Family of Origin) and Relationship counseling. I've been with the man nearly a quarter of a century, he's not going to go to therapy to have a relationship with me. He plays games with money, divorce agreements, custody arrangements, transportation, and all sorts of things to keep me stuck here. It's nothing money and a lawyer can't solve. ***** They say that dysfunctional people have three weapons that they use to keep people under their thumb. The acronym is FOG. Yes, they are FOG machines. What does FOG stand for? F ear O bligation -and- G uilt Yes, there is fear. Fear that he won't honor hi...

Personality Theory

Today I am thankful for personality theory. I can't say that I buy into it very much. People change over the course of their lives. Healthy people grow. Unhealthy people either stay static or regress. So what one tests today may change tomorrow. I do believe that personality theories (even ancient ones like astrology) create self-fulfilling prophecies. If people buy into it, it gives a lot of insight into their characters, needs, and behaviors. I've spent most of my adult life studying personality theories. From Eric Fromm's theory's about authoritian -vs- mature personalities and how authoritians fear power while mature people revel in it to Jung's introvert -vs- extrovert theory. A major one of interest to me is an offshoot of Jung, it is the MBTI type inventory. When I'm happy, I'm a textbook INFJ. When I'm pissed off and wanting to strangle my ex, I act like a ESTP. My ex is a ESTP a...
