Observations from the animal kingdom.

In the animal kingdom the weak, sick, and elderly are routinely pushed to the outer fringe of the herd to provide a "buffer of uselessness" protecting the young, productive core of the population from attacks by predators. This system ensured that the healthiest, most capable members were at the core of the herd making all the tough decisions...like, what field to crap in and whether or not to terrorize all those tan landrovers full of gawking pale-skinned tourists. It was a flawless system,

And yet, humanity has somehow forgotten its primal instincts and, instead, has embraced a system quite the opposite. Want proof? turn on the T.V. Go ahead, do it. You will see a world that heartily embraces and protects the "rights" of every right-wing wackjob advocating summary stake-burnings for members of the "Eternal witches coven of homosexuality" and every left wing radical In favor of teaching the virtues man-on-pumpkin sex in Americas classrooms.

Have a moderate and intelligent position on running the nation that seamlessly blends the strong points of all parties in the interest of national unity forged in the spirit of compromise? EDGE OF THE HERD!!

However, if on the next episode of your FOX TV show you will be showcasing "gun-toting Nazi midgets of the Miami underground racing scene", please step right this way to the center of the herd!!

Okay. I'm done with the rant now.

This weekend at the Camlin with Melinda was amazing; easily the most fun I have had in a very long time. The highlight of the trip had to be watching my wife create ingenious methods for making grilled cheese sandwiches, tomato soup, and pasta with marinara sauce using only the burner from a coffee pot, a cutting board, and a tiny microwave. While the pasta left something to be desired, the grilled cheese was amazing.

Tonight I'll be going home to homemade meatloaf. Meatloaf, people!! My wife is amazing!

aaaaaaaand I'm out!
