--I have a bad cold. I'm mentioning that so that if I cough around people, they will know that I'm not trying to be offensive. However, if someone tries to harass me by coughing at me and he or she gets a cough back, then that's either me losing my temper and giving a fake cough back or putting my cold to that purpose.
I wish that people wouldn't try to antagonize me. I much prefer to get along with people.
--I don't agree with men being sexually harassed, any more than I agree with women being sexually harassed. No matter how sarcastic or even demeaning or cruel I get at times, I never seek to deliberately, systematically, specifically sexually degrade other people.
--It seems to me that President Obama doesn't always make the best possible use of his time. For example, why couldn't he have been talking to Congress about trying to support countries that are seeking to become democracies instead of going to the United Kingdom to try to get the government there to support sexual harassment, bullying and pedophilia?
What I think would really be a shame would be to let rebels in places such as Libya lose lives, morale, strength and ultimately their chance for freedom when help at the right time is all that's needed.
Freeing people in as many places as possible isn't just a lofty, noble goal; it's practical. It's likely to cause gratitude and loyalty toward the United States and all the countries who helped; it's arrogant to dismiss that opportunity just because the countries involved might be small. Even in the unlikely event that gratitude and loyalty don't occur, every free, stable democracy is a bulwark against things such as terrorism.
Even small bulwarks are better than oppressed, seething populations who think of the U.S. as an imperialist co-conspirator with fascist regimes throughout the world. Even FAILED attempts on the part of the U.S. and rebels in other countries who want democracy will do more to prevent terrorism than supporting fascist regimes will do.
You can't really lose when you try to support a worthy cause.
I wish that the President and Congress would work together to make a commitment to helping countries that want to become democracies. Then I wish that the President would sit down with the people in the U.S. military who know how to win a war like the one in Libya, make a plan, and get it over with.
--It seems to me that Pepsi is a really dangerous company. I was just looking at a bottle of Pepsi the other day; it said "Power Votes" a few times along the top of the label.
Pepsi has promoted not just sexual harassment but pedophilia in a big way. I've seen the Pepsi logo more than once on White-House-created blog posts for people such as Barack Obama and others in his administration; Pepsi is very interested in the agenda of degradation, abuse and criminality, and I think that the company will try to get President Obama re-elected for that agenda, with campaigns on the Internet, contests, supposedly charitable projects, commercials, and everything that the company's marketing department can think of.
--Abortion rights have been suffering major setbacks. I predicted that that would happen; last year, just a few months after I'd been getting sexually harassed by celebrities, the Internet, some corporations, some media, TV shows, and then the U.S. government, I said "This will lead to abortion rights being taken away."
Here's what the NOW website has to say about a recent abortion rights setback:

House Escalates Savage Attack on Women's Health
Statement of NOW President Terry O'Neill
May 4, 2011
Today the House of Representatives passed H.R. 3, a sweeping anti-abortion rights bill sponsored by long-time reproductive justice opponent Rep. Chris Smith (R-N.J.) and championed by Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) as more important than jobs or economic recovery. The bill would enshrine into law extreme funding restrictions on abortion care, putting women's health and lives at risk. The National Organization for Women vows to work aggressively to block passage in the Senate and applauds the White House for threatening to veto this bill.
The so-called No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act goes much further than its deceptive title suggests. It would codify and dramatically expand a collection of federal abortion funding restrictions referred to as the Hyde Amendment. As acknowledged by the late Rep. Henry Hyde (R-Ill.), the goal of instituting and broadening these restrictions has always been to effectively overturn Roe v. Wade; targeting low-income women was Hyde's opportunistic start. Now conservative lawmakers' goal is to deny women at all income levels access to insurance coverage for abortion care.
Rep. Smith and Speaker Boehner take this ideological crusade to new lows by attempting to specifically define and limit what constitutes a health exception while narrowing incest and rape exceptions -- a long-sought effort of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (who, let it be recalled, continue to be notorious for systematically protecting child rapists) and their ultra-conservative allies. H.R. 3 would also impose tax penalties on employers and individuals whose private insurance policies happen to cover abortion care, potentially leading to IRS "abortion audits."
If you think this savage attack on women's health will stop with abortion, think again. Less than a month has passed since these same men nearly shut down the government to define contraception, pap smears and HIV screenings as equivalent to abortion care. Women will continue fighting back because our lives depend on it. These irresponsible men must not get away with acting as if voters sent them to Congress to make judgments endangering women's health and lives.

Have people forgotten that the Republicans swept the country in the elections of November, 2010? I thought and still think that one of the reasons that the Democrats lost
was that the Democratic Party was being asked to run its campaign on an unofficial but insidious platform of degradation and human rights abuses which made a hypocrite out of every Democratic candidate. It's difficult to tell people "I'm a good person, and I'll be there to represent your best interests" when you know, even if the general population doesn't, that the President and the leader of your party endorses things such as rape and child molestation.
If things such as abortion rights have been getting attacked, it's also because what's been getting endorsed by the Obama administration and its supporters goes even farther beyond anything that the most ultra-conservative Republicans have ever publicly endorsed. Rape. Stoning. Hanging. Torture. Child sex abuse. They've out-Republicanned the Republicans.
What are Democrats in Congress supposed to say to Republicans who want to do things such as destroy Roe v. Wade? Are Democrats supposed to say "You can't do this to women?" What Democrat in Congress could say that to a Republican in Congress and not get laughed at?
I'm not trying to say "I told you so;" I'm trying to say, please remember that I ALSO predicted that the Democrats wouldn't have a leg to stand on in Congress anymore as a result of the campaign to enslave women and children to men. I said it last year, at almost this exact time of year.

--Why the pedophilia fad is not a funny joke
Children can't choose for themselves, especially when being approached by an adult. Pedophilia and the abuse of teenagers isn't about kids trying things out, it's about them being used by adults.
I still think that preteens and very young teens are too young for sex. When I was a teenager, I think that 16 was about average; 15 wasn't uncommon, and if, like me, you were still a virgin at 20, it meant that ether you were especially religious, not particularly attractive, had a problem of some kind, or were very shy. I think that was the general perception of people my age when I was that age. I was MORTIFIED, at the time, to still be a virgin at the age of 20. That wouldn't have happened if I hadn't had a lot of life disruptions; it was not at all my plan to be a virgin at that age.
It seems as if the average age for teenagers having sex might be getting younger, which I think is too bad, but even so, that's NOT what pedophilia and the abuse of teenagers by adults are about. It has nothing to do with healthy child and adolescent sexual development; it's an atrocity.
Children don't have the physical size to say "no" to adults and older, bigger children or teenagers, and teenagers don't have the life experience and negotiating skills to get out of a bad situation against most adults. This whole thing is about trapping children and teenagers into situations that they should be getting protected from instead. They will all be at the mercy of people who are bigger or just older than they are.
Think about a time, which I think will occur within a couple of years if not sooner if the campaign for it doesn't stop, when a 3rd-grader's night and/or morning includes being used for sex by a parent or older sibling, either as punishment or as a part of the family's routine. Then the kid goes to school and is made to have sex with one or more of the teachers and with as many of the other kids as feel like it and are bigger than the kid is. Then it's back home to more of the same.
You don't believe me? Look at what's been happening to me, in person, on a daily basis for almost a year now. Did you know that THAT would happen?
I don't have time to report anywhere near all of the incidents of my being harassed every day. I never have time to write about that, whether the incidents are things in store windows or people harassing me in person.
They're not the highly educated people who mostly do it; they are mostly the people whom anyone who was broke and looking for work would meet every day. However, they are also the people whose children will suffer the most, who already have the worst lives and/or habits and whose children are already vulnerable to all kinds of social ills both in and out of their homes. At the very least, the children of the so-called lower classes are vulnerable because they are from backgrounds which are not respected by society at large.
Everyone who supports pedophilia, whether it's high profile people who think it's all a funny joke, horrifyingly unscrupulous politicians, corporations and media, or just plain pedophiles; all of those people are changing young lives from being at risk to being certain failures at everything.
Maybe the people in places such as Hollywood who think it's a funny joke haven't met or talked to impoverished people who've been in mental hospitals, rehabs, jails, or shelters and who suffered sexual abuse as children, but I have.
