Re: Consolidation of Rural Fire Districts

My email to the County Commission concerning their insane idea: Hello! My name is Noah !@#$%^&*(), and I live in the Lebanon Volunteer Fire District, on the border with the Bahama VFD. I heard that a vote is scheduled for Monday to potentially consolidate Durham County’s rural fire districts. I have some concerns about this.…

Amendment to Repeal the 17th EDITED

If the Convention of States does happen (not a con-con, by the way, but that’s for another post), I expect an amendment to restore the Senate will likely be proposed. However, I highly doubt the people will be all that happy about the choice of Senators being taken out of their hands. Yet, the direct…

On Phil Robertson

The DD, “scandal” is becoming absurd. Now people are criticizing him for being a, “meaningless rich hunter?” Get over yourself. First, the Robertson’s legally made their own money, they don’t live above their means, and they donate large portions of their money to the Church and charity. It’s their money, and hunting is how they…

American Unemployment Understood

America’s high unemployment is due to three major factors: 1) increased mechanization, leading to the need for less workers (this is the primary reason), and 2) the world has been rebuilt, the Marshall Plan is over, and America is no longer the world’s only major producer, and 3) unsustainable debt and inflation. What do I…

Update: Life Is Life

So… Let’s go over the last two months of my life or so. This isn’t really in any exact order. Um, I had the tilt-table test for POTS at Duke about a month and a half ago. Doctor Kanter said it’s definitely POTS, a form of Dysautonomia. I’ve written about my battle with this illness…

My Opinion on Egypt

“Do you hear the people sing? Singing the song of angry men! It is the music of a people who will not be slaves again! When the beating of your heart Echos the beating of the drums There is a life about to start when tomorrow comes!!!” Okay, so… Really? So we don’t like, but…

“Why Do You Have A Cane?”

Recently a bunch of friends have been asking me why I have a cane and if I’m alright. Well, no. Not really. I’m surviving, but recently just hasn’t been very good. Last week (7/14-20/13), my vitals (heart rate and blood pressure, henceforth referred to as hr/bp) started going a little crazy, and my POTS symptoms…

The Loss of Liberty is Always Slow

Throughout our history we have always been told that the loss of our liberty would be slow. Nobody could directly assault liberty here in the United States, or we would fight back to the uttermost to defend it; and we’ve proven that numerous times. So how would they collapse us? How would they bring down…
