Adam... You hit the nail on the head!

Wow, driving to work yesterday I flipped on the radio and immediately was confronted with a political interview that sounded interesting. However after listening to it for just a few moments I thought that there must be a technical issue at the station as there was a continuous "beeping" sound present which cut out about every 4-5 words. Fortunately before I has the chance to change the station another voice cut in, one that I recognized and explained that what was being broadcast was a heavily censored political rant on the Occupy crowd by none other that Adam Carolla.

The reason for the censorship had nothing to do with the actual political content, but rather with the fact that Adam tends to use some colourful phrases (to say the least). However, listening around the "beeps" the message was loud and clear, and frankly as close to the truth as one could hope for. Adam's insight is something that I believe will strike a chord with most, in fact even those on the far left if they are honest with themselves will have to agree with a lot he has to say, although I suspect they would never openly admit it. He puts into words what most know, but fear to voice. Our boy Adam certainly has a pair of "stones".

But enough said, listen to Adam and let him explain. A word of caution, although this is the censored version you can fill in the blanks, but please don't ignore the message based on taking any offense to Adam's strong use of profanity.

Occupy Stupidity.... It keeps getting better

Well folks, over the last few weeks the Occupy Drones have been busy. It's ironic that they protest the unfairness of the economy and wealth distribution, yet spend most of their time camping out (trespassing) and disrupting the economy rather than actually working to earn an income and improve their lot in life! Yes, I know..... there are no jobs, but tell me how would they know this when they are "too busy" protesting to look for employment?

One of the issues that has been raised a number of times by American Occupy Drones is student loan debt. Drones have suggested everything from easing of restrictions to outright forgiving of all monies owed. So let me get this straight, these individuals applied for a loan to further their own education and agreed to the repayment terms knowing full well from the start the level of debt that they would be undertaking. In most cases I suspect that they reasoned that the investment was a good one as it would eventually result in gainful employment and a higher standard of living. However, now that they have their education they feel that they should be absolved from the debt or at the very least have the rules rewritten in their favor.

My first observation here is that we are either discussing very untrustworthy individuals (taking money under false pretenses), or very stupid/naive ones (entering into a loan agreement without understanding the details or long term implications). If the former is the case I would suggest that the rules need to be tightened even further to ensure repayment, if the latter is the case I do feel sorry for these individuals as they probably wasted a large investment in their own education as it obviously did nothing to raise their intelligence or understanding. Did they honestly feel that simply getting an education guaranteed them a job, or possibly even eventual access to the "1%" club? An education guarantee's nothing! However for the most part (particularly in today's world) it does provide you with far greater opportunity than those without one.

Occupy Vancouver being evicted, all it took was a death.

This certainly adds to the
beauty of Downtown Vancouver

It appears that the Occupy Vancouver had its second drug overdose just days ago, unlike the first one this one proved fatal. Following the news of 23-year-old Ashlie Gough's death, Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson said Occupy protesters would be forced to vacate as soon as possible. He said it's clear the encampment is no longer safe and has to go. "When lives are lost, we clearly have to take steps," Robertson told reporters. "I have directed the city manager to expedite the appropriate steps to end the encampment as soon as possible."

Occupy Wallstreet Protesters..... Here's how you run an effective protest

Pasto, Narino department, Colombia, in 2010

For all of you folks occupying a city park someplace and shivering in the dark in October, here's a story about how to run a protest and achieve your goals in a relatively short time frame. In this case the goal was the paving of a 57 kilometer stretch of road to replace a 163 year old horse trail leading to a village, admittedly a much smaller task than your stated goals. But none the less these protesters found an effective way to get what they set out to. Maybe you can even get some of your celebrity supporters like Michael Moore or Rosanne Barr (on second thought, with these two this method might actually extend the length of your protest) to participate. So, light a candle, gather the other protesters in the park around you and read on......Read More
