NewsRant Vol. 1
This section, and the NewsRants to come, will be dedicated to my views on the latest news developments.
1 - Lost In Paradise
One of the leading headlines this past month have been about Natalee Holloway, the 18 year old teen (not at all bad looking I might add) who disappeared on a high school graduation trip to Aruba. I'd like to point out that despite the fact there are thousands of lost children domestically, one rich white teenager lost abroad has made the top headlines everyday for the past month. Kinda ironic that I want to go into the media biz, except that I'd rather cover sports or entertainment than this normal, bullshit news.
If she was stupid enough to go off with a shady stranger she just met to a destination she didn't know, I say she deserves whatever fate she got. No doubt she was probably intoxicated despite the chaperones they were supposed to have, but it's a foreign country with different laws, so they probably couldn't prevent the kids from drinking. Still, every person should know their limit and should set a cutoff point. What's worse are this girls' friends. They should've realized she was leaving with an unknown and should've cockblocked his ass right away, or at least gone with them. They should arrest her friends, because they're just as responsible for her disappearance and possible death.
If this trip was school sanctioned, I think every single person on the administrative staff should be fired and prevented from ever working in the educational system again.
Now a search team from Texas is being sent in to try and find her, even though countless investigations have already failed. I don't know why the news kept emphasizing that the new crew was from Texas, are they sending in the Texas Rangers in or something? More media mishype.
You know where Natalee Holloway is? Most likely floating in the Carribbean Sea. Or at the bottom of it. They can search all they want on land, but what better place to hide a body than IN THE MIDDLE OF AN OCEAN? As you can tell, I think she's dead. I don't think this Joran Van der sloot guy hurt her, I buy his story of leaving her on the beach. She was probably passed out and after he couldn't revive her he probably just left. Afterwards I think she woke up and tried to go to her hotel, but was too fucked up and wound up getting picked up by the wrong people. Unfortunately, I don't think this story will have a Jessica Lynch-type ending, there are no Navy SEALs to rescue missing teens in paradise.
2 - This Is Freedom?
This is probably the most atrocious thing I've seen since 9/11. The United States Supreme Court ruled that the City Hall in New London, Connecticut was allowed to take seven private properties through eminent domain to make way for a hotel and convention center. While eminent domain is a right the government has, I believe this ruling really takes away from America's basic principles of freedom. How can we live in peace and harmony when we know our homes can be taken away from us to make room for goddamn malls and WalMarts? People have a right to their homes, they bought them and in some instances built them. Their property is private, not owned by the government, and if they decide to refuse sale to the government they should have that right. It shouldn't be the other way around, where the government plows over anything it desires. I think this ruling is bullshit, every judge on the Supreme Court should be kicked off after a severe berating (no, not a beating, a berating). When people lose homes they've owned for years and years and have passed them down for generations, when self-made businessmen have their companies taken away unwillingly to submit to the will of the government... that sir, is a chapter out of the dictator's handbook.
3 - The Dreaded Trump Card
Another Supreme Court outrage. The Supreme Court recently ruled that federal drug laws trump states’ compassionate use laws, including California’s Proposition 215, which allows for medicinal marijuana use. Because federal law outweighs state law, it basically makes Proposition 215 irrelevant. I don't really understand why they just wouldn't abolish the proposition altogether, it doesn't make sense to declare that their federal law trumps the state law and still have the state law exist when it conflicts. Not to mention this is kind of contradictory... they allow legal prostitution in the State of Nevada yet they ban marijuana in California... I would think the Supreme Court would rather ban the spread of aids than ban the spread of chilled outness, not to mention weed is worth a lot more to the American economy, but hey, I'm guess I'm just not an idiot like those "honorable" judges.
4 - Kick The Tires And Light The Fires
Once again, wildfires are sweeping across the west. Droughts lead to extremely dry areas, lighting storms light desert brush on fire, and the ensuing flames expand. On the news a firefighter described the flammable material as "live fuel" and "dead fuel", I guess depending on the type of plant each was. Well, that's what they are potentially: fuel. We've seen time and again that these brushes and plants are extremely flammable, so why don't we use this as some type of real fuel? Maybe not as a standalone fuel, but perhaps as an additive.
That's all for now, more to come...

Maybe they've already tried to experiment with this, I don't know, but they should still give it a look-see. When it turns out that I was right and these plants are the first source of unlimited, renewable energy, I'll be waiting for my Nobel.
5 - Fuck The KKK
Edgar Ray Killen (a very fitting name), a former Klansman, was sentenced to 60 years in prison for orchestrating the slayings of three civil rights workers in 1964. Killen won't be eligible for parole for 20 years — when he's 100. If you ask me this guy should've gotten more than 60 years in prison. I don't care if he's 80 years old, people have been given the death sentence for less and people have been given life inprisonment for less. I want to see this guy crucified, then burned on a cross. Think of the joyous, wonderful irony it would bring.
The KKK are pieces of shit, fuck em. They're pussies who talk big shit but hide and keep a low profile so they can't be imprisoned for hate crimes. Why invade Iraq when you've got these terrorists on domestic soil? The KKK are no better than Nazis. If I had the means, I would line them all up and shoot them one by one. They had best hope they don't run into me, or else I'll be the one getting the 60 year sentence.
That's all for now, more to come...
