A short letter to the White House

I would like to ask that a fully peaceful solution to the war in Syria be taken without rising to the cause of arms and serving to establish American superiority in the world. If war becomes a necessary evil, then do it as a last resort to stop the bloodshed, the displacement, the human suffering as the old Killer Ape Theory and the words of Hobbes continue on. And also, please start changing the structure of foreign policy, I recommend the works of Buckminster Fuller.

Complaint about sites and ads

I hate how on Blogger, none of the referral URLs that the stats page actually link to the sites that supposedly are why today I had like 20 views in India, which is big considering I have an average per day of views between zero and one. Back to my point, it said I had traffic from a site called topblogstories.com, so imagine my surprise when I click on it and find not a site about blogs, but called "sex dating in LA" with nudes all about. As if it weren't bad enough when I kept getting banner ads for "Muslim singles", "christian singles", "geek 2 geek dating" and Anastasia Date, now it's... where was I? Oh yes, it was a summer night on the Caribbean, I was on my private yacht whilst entertaining such esteemed guests as Robert McNamara, Bob Guccione, and Hunter Thompson to the sounds of some Ramones tribute band I picked up in Italy when I was a spy there in the 1980s.

Two things

One, why is it all the page views to this blog seem to be coming in form Russia? I am curious about it and why.

Some of the stupid things people have fought over and thought up in recent years: Making flag burning into a big issue; nearly turning the FCC into a free-reign judge and executioner of morality and airwaves, all due to a nipple slip by accident; actually, that's all I have, a letdown is what his is.

On news sites subscriptions

Normally I don't invovlve myself in stuff like this, but some little part of my brain is pushing, so here it is: They should get rid of subscriptions fees for news service websites, like where you have a limit of free articles, since information, wait, now I forget, stupid train of thought, frikkincantthink...

Follow-up_ A list of possible new candidates for Congress

-Sasha Grey (she's just barely legal old enough for the House)
-Actually, I don't have any idea of anyone else, I just wanted to make that pun.

A Proposal to recall all members of Congress

This would be on a petition website, except I know none of those ever work form experience, but anyway, it's quite simple, just have a special countrywide election in every state and congressional district, and elect new members to Congress if need be, if not all then at least the idiotic ones. It gets frustrating to have such things happen as in the last four years, with just a few examples here: Homer Simpsons look-alike Louis Gohmert, Todd Akin, Dana Rohrabacher on "dinosaur flatulence", the House Committee on sciences begin filled with people of zero scientific background, tons of blocking, I can go on but won't. Point is, since I don't want to leave humanity behind to live with nature and sanity only to go all Unabomber, I ask, with evidence in time, that Congress be recalled and a new one sworn in before the world ends with a bang and a whimper. Because I've spent 20 something years seeing stuff crumble around me, the incompetence and sense of futility from the 2000s, from the kid bullies in junior high school given free reign while the adults couldn't stop it, to the highest echelons of power; the power hunger and corruption in humans in those days, police officers in LA pulling over a friend of mine because she was Hispanic, the death of philosophy ( as I can tell) so on. And, I don't want humanity to kill itself out of procrastination and ignorance, don't want things on a dystopic track. This can at least be a start. No old faces, no psychotic newcomers from 2012 and 2010, but competent people.
Or if it doesn't work out, then i have a proposal for a global suicide pact to be enacted by 2016, if it's really a aimless and hopeless world, then just get it over. (This last part is a parody part, to be clear. Sort of.)
