For today, I have a few random thoughts that have come to mind, and that I think of quite a bit.
A pastor from Southern California wrote a message where he stated that he went through both the Republican and Democratic party platforms in detail, so that he knew what they were and was going to tell us.
Of course, since he's a conservative Christian, it was pretty obvious what he what going to say (Republican - godly, fair and thoughtful, and Democratic - liberal, socialistic and demonic) and he didn't disappoint me. I've learned through hard experience not to take anyone's word for anything - even if he or she is a called a Christian. I've been lied to by way too many so-called Christians.
He even said that a socialist was merely a communist without a gun. Makes me wonder just how thoughtful and politically knowledgeable he really was.
Some people will vote against Hillary Clinton merely because of their own misogyny, and try to cloak it in the quilt of Christianity. Look to the reasons for yourself. Do not rely on someone else's word to guide you on your vote.

I've tested different flavored soft drinks lately, and with the computerized soft drink machines, it's a lot easier now. A friend of mine from the Daria fandom recommended a half orange pop and half Dr Pepper mixture, and I found that delicious, so I'm testing even more.
More to come when I've accumulated more details.

Speaking of Daria fandom, one of my friends who calls himself Aloysius has a series of half nuts stories, and one questions he's asked has stayed in my mind ever since he posted it. So, here goes:
What color is a choking Smurf?
Funny the things that come to your mind when you're tired at night.

It's amazing the amount of details that people are willing to share on Facebook. What is it with people? Does anyone have a sense of privacy anymore? It blows my mind sometimes.
Don't get me started on people talking on cell phones in public. All any of this tells me is that the government needs no special computer programs to spy on our cell phones or e-mails. People are willing to tell everything and all government agents have to do is just stand there and listen.
I don't think the government has the manpower to do all that as it is, but then I think conspiracy theories are for people who have no sense of self-esteem or self-security. I have a life to live, and no time for kind of nonsense.

I've come to the conclusion that most TV news is next to useless, because it is designed to sell products. The scarier the news, the higher they can charge for their ads.
How do you know that what you're hearing is the truth? Or even all of it? I'll stick to NPR or the BBC for now. When I don't rely on newspapers, that is.
More to come as I think of it.
Peace be unto you.
