Handi-mania!

So we've learned to be wary of the critter-huggers and lawyers. Who else need we fear? The handicapped! That's right boys and girls, if you take the initiative to be productive in our society and risk to run your own business that deals with the public you have to fear not necessarily those just unfortunate enough to be pysically handicapped, but those who are emotionally and ethically handicapped.

Imagine a time in your life when you were little. Mommy and daddy (or other parental/guardian units as applicable) promise to take you down to that special little restaurant or ice cream parlor that's a staple of your youth. You grow up with this iconic little place and take all of your friends and family from out of town to dine there when they come visit. Facebook explodes and maybe you even start a "fan's of xyz eatery" fanclub. Welcome to today's example of kookery threatening the world of the sane.

In 1990 Congress created and George H.W. Bush enacted a touchy-feely piece of law called the Americans with Disabilities Act. While the concept of providing reasonable access to those of our society with disabilities is laudable, the following years have shown that, as usual, with excessive governmental interference into our lives, the vagueness of the Act has led to rampant serial litigation that threatens innocent people trying to be productive members of society.

Enter Chuck's restaurant in Stockton, California with today's insanity. Decades have passed since this bill has passed. Never before have they had issue with folks using their restroom facilities, in walks our emotionally handi-capped antagonist. A serial litigator, the man strolls into the restaurant, finds problem with the accomodations, leaves and files suit. The restaurant now faces the real possibility of closing. Only after a major outrage and 4000 + member facebook group urging the saving of Chuck's grill, which can be read about here did the predatory litigator make more reasonable demands.

Do we really need to be ruled by the tyranny of the minority? Especially when they look like this? Why do we allow a miniscule segment of the population the ability to financially destroy and ruin something cherished by the mass majority because of "their feelings?"

ACLU-eless

What's funnier than a bunch of militant critter-huggers trying to ruin your country? Try out a group of unnecessary lawyers out to "make a point." The ACLU or American Civil Liberties Union so often takes on the "cause" of vile criminals beyond excuse that one could easily confuse their moniker for American Criminal Liberties Union.

As a recent example of the fun of this group I give you Alexander Alli. The class-action lawsuit was supposed to highlight the issue of detaining immigrants for long times without trial during cases of deportation. The fun part is that as their poster boy, they chose one of the ringleaders of the largest internet Identity theft rings to have operated. Ever heard from a Nigerian prince about some money he wants you to bank for him? That's Alli.



Hundreds of dollars an hour and high-powered lawyers can't even check who they choose to be the poster-boys of their causes? More likely, they don't care. After all its only folks being preyed upon by the criminal immigrants they are seeking to get free that have to worry, that and the taxpayer money wasted on the court-time to adjudicate their lawsuits.

Petafilia 2: Nudity, mass-murderers and carrots, OH MY!

There's nothing as awe-inspiringly amazing as watching a self-righteous do-gooder American "cause" go strolling into poor countries telling them how to live. That's right, PETA has a new ad that uses the grand-daughter of a latin-american mass murderer to sell (are you ready for this?) vegetarianism!

The concept seems to be "look here, poor people. I know you all can't really afford meat anyway but if we show you a nudie of the granddaughter of some psycho that murdered your grandfather maybe you can 'join the vegetarian revolution.'"

For those of you that only know Che from the stylish T-shirt or handbag you wear (all the while decrying Capitalism), here's a little info on how wonderful he truly was.

Petafilia

One of my favorite group of kooky folks happens to be PETA. The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals have engaged in so many off-the-wall things I have a special giggle-chamber in my heart for them.

President Obama, in a recent interview, in order to reaffirm his tough-guy image to the nation after spending the first 5 months of his term hugging, bowing and loving on dictators the world around, swatted a fly. This, much to the consternation of PETA, was decidedly cool. My only suggestion to our fearless leader; next time, do it like a REAL master.

RIP - Pat Morita
