Dumb Political Correctness

Yes, you read that correctly...an agency is actually asserting racial bias and inequities in traffic fatalities AND WANTS FUNDING TO REDUCE INEQUITIES. This crap has no end. Vehicles don't know what race the driver and passenger(s) are.

It also would not surprise me to see that two of those demographics see inflated numbers due to contributing factors related to CHOICES and not the race. You know...choices like alcohol and dope.
Here's a quote from the linked article:
“Our nation’s historic inequalities have contributed to an unacceptable imbalance in traffic safety,” said GHSA Executive Director Jonathan Adkins. “GHSA is focused on promoting racial justice and finding solutions that advance just results in the country’s behavioral highway safety programs..."
Mb227 is exactly right - the vehicles don't know who's behind the wheel. I can't believe that this group wants us to believe that racial inequality is the cause of vehicle fatalities - absolutely incredible!

I'm just waiting for the next update to be that income inequity contributes to certain demographics getting crappy cars that fold like accordions instead of being able to get the battery powered stuff that bakes people (like the white guys in The Woodlands a month or so back). Consequently, the groups will clamor for even MORE handouts that will be based upon a failed premise.

Although if THAT was the case, then the Indians (feather, not dot) should be doing well since so many of them drive the old tanks that make some places more closely resemble Cuba than the 2020's, and, sadly also tend to see drivers with alcohol issues. But none of the money shoveled to tribes for substance abuse seems to make a difference...and the lack of difference means a potentially higher incidence with respect to RATES of fatality.

And, I found it interesting how low the rates were for Asians...but then again, they tend not to be noted for drunk/impaired driving OR fleeing from law enforcement (which places the innocents at risk).

I used to be positive on the Enlightenment until I learned more about it. It was the first step in the rot you see in Western culture and the World Wars directly came out of the secular, atheist thought it produced.

Anything good that seemed to have come out of it wasn't Enlightenment based. It was religious people who were really a part of the movement.

Still. I agree that the church and state should be separate entities. Any organization that allies with the state gets corrupted. That happened to the church. It happens to corporations all the time and is the cause of much of the economic problems we have. It now happens with science more and more. Science now is used to build government narratives. They fund research and get the answers they want to justify the policies they want to pursue.



John Locke was good, but he wasn't as good as the political philosophers that came before him like Samuel Rutherford. What he got right, he got from Reformation political thinkers. Adam Smith was good too. But recognize that classical economic theory was started by Spanish and French scholastics. I do have to admit my favorite economists weren't religious though like Menger and Mises. They did follow scholastic tradition though but they were definitely secular. So I can't agree totally.


I wrote this... it's my economic theory of human nature... from the beginning...


Let there be light
Let there be man
Give him a garden
Give him a woman
It is all so very simple
A world just for two
Nature will provide
Now what should they do?

The seasons are learned
Along with day and night
There are dangers in the wild
What about wrong and right?
The beauty of one another
Brought them close together
One day something happened
There was more to consider

There was a baby to feed
And other families emerged
They were drawn by need
Their problems converged
Food, shelter, water, safety
These things required action
Someone must do something
Reality caused a reaction

But who would do what?
Kill an animal, lift a stone
Are they a village?
Or to each his own?
Who would decide?
Who would object?
Did they accept?
Or did they reject?

One selfish man
And a plan will fail
One greedy man
And the garden is for sale
Can a man live for need
And not for wants?
Can a man save a life
And accept only thanks?

Will a man read a book
And study until he sleeps?
Will he use his knowledge
But reject the reward he reaps?
Is this how to achieve greatness
No discernment among men?
Everyone equally the same
No matter how they're driven?

The ocean beckons
As do the mountains
The lakes and the streams
Are natures fountains
Will they be cared for
If we live wild and free?
Can a man be happy
Not owning what he can see?

And so the rock must be lifted
And we look around the cave
A man’s back is broken
Another says, “I’m no slave”
So the rock remains
As do we in the cave
Who will get food tonight?
“It’s not my turn” he said with a wave

How much is too much
For you to have all you need?
How much is too much
Before you notice the greed?
Think of it this way
You ask a man to play a flute
He can make you smile
But will praise be enough fruit?

A good man will share what he has
And he will accept what he receives
But how many good men do you know?
And how many are thieves?
Would you rather wear a fur
Or harness the cool and heat?
Would you rather live outdoors
Or in a home on a safe street?

And who will do this for you
Without their just reward?
Can you live like an animal
Or accept the monetary sword?
Where do we begin
If nobody will cooperate
Where do we begin
When it’s too late?

And so do you want my wool
In trade for your milk?
But the home I built for you
Requires that I receive silk
But milk is all I have
So then live on the land
How can we accommodate
If you reject what is in my hand?

It becomes a matter of trust
I say what I render
Equals what you accept
As this paper is legal tender
And if you will agree
Even though paper is not milk
I will now build your house
Because I can buy my silk

And in this way
Our wants become cultivated
And the lazy man
Is suddenly motivated
As the thinking man observes
The power of the capitalist tool
And the rivers of paper
That once was milk and wool

He wonders how it came to pass
That a world of cows and sheep
Became one of oil and gas
It happened while some did sleep
In the fury of comfort and reward
And technological devices
Are we better off as we hoard?
Have we invented new vices?

I long for my children’s comfort
But at what cost to another?
Is it a zero sum game
With a winner and a loser?
Will the next big thing happen
Without their just reward
Should we just pray to God
And put down the monetary sword?

Is there consensus among men
That can ever be reached?
Or will we always fail
Will egalitarianism be breached?
Everyone the same
Everyone equal
Will we ever know
Are we God’s people?

I wonder of these things
As we print more and more
The paper is all that matters
We want ours and all else we ignore
Is there always a limit
On the value of wool and milk
Will we continue as we are
Will we destroy what we built?

An Open Letter to the American Medical Assoc.
by Julio Gonzalez, M.D., J.D.

Dear Sir and Madam,

I read with great disgust your " Organization Strategic Plan to Embed Racial Justice and Advance Health Equity ." Seldom have I read a more destructive, divisive, and inflammatory document by a professional organization, and I have never been more ashamed of being associated with the American Medical Association at any time in my career.

The suggestion that our country owes anyone "equity" because of "past injustices" is revolting. My family arrived in this country in 1961. We have not been a party to any of the injustices that occurred so many decades ago, yet you hold my family, my colleagues, and me in the same light that you hold the cruelest slaveholder. How dare you say that I, a person who is forced to answer on a census form as being white/Caucasian, but who on a different question answers Hispanic/Latino/Cuban, should be in anyway held responsible for those who traded slaves and the African chieftains who willingly sold their tribesmen and women to the Europeans four hundred years ago?

How dare you say that I, and every one of my colleagues who have spent our lives treating the poor, minorities, majorities, and anyone else who may stumble into our emergency rooms, legally or not, without bias or favor, and without any chance of being reimbursed for our training and our efforts, should be thought of as members of an oppressive consortium designed to inflict evil or inequity to those who we selflessly treat?

How dare you join the countless number of camouflaged communists who furtively and purposely try to confuse those around them by conflating equity with equality? Ours is a nation built on the premise of equal standing under the law and only that. Everything else is to be achieved through excellence, dedication, training, and hard work.

Equity, on the other hand, is achieved by fiat, by taking from some and giving it to others at the point of a gun. Few better ruses exist for the state control of the means of production than through the illusory promise of achieving equity instead of equal standing under the law. This is a dangerous track you are entering from which you and the social system you seek may never be able to return.

You claim that we live in a land that was taken from Native Americans hundreds of years ago. That may be so, but you neglect that the same is true of all other civilizations on earth. The Babylonians invaded Israel. The Norwegians invaded England. The Visigoths invaded Rome. Rome invaded Egypt and North Africa. The Turks invaded Constantinople. The Mongols invaded Europe. The Germans invaded Russia. The Russians starved their people. The Germans committed holocaust upon the Jews. The Calusas ransacked and sacrificed their neighboring tribes. The Caribes attacked and imprisoned the Taínos. The Mayans continuously conquered each other and tore their victims' hearts out while they were still beating. Mao starved 69 million people and the People's Republic of China killed millions with their latest virus.

Every single civilization, even those in Africa and the Far East, have conquered and been conquered. It is a fact of life and a staple of history. Your skewed and biased view of the events that took place between the Europeans and Native Americans while ignoring every other injustice carried out throughout history upon the very groups against which you point an accusatory finger is ignorant, hypocritical, and insulting to the 100% of us living Americans who played no part in the invasion nor were victims of the conquests.

You have abused your position as the self-proclaimed purveyor of the medical profession to promote a self-proclaimed social(ist) agenda against the will of so many of those whom you falsely claim to represent.

I will oppose you with all my being, all my strength, my intellect, and my voice. I will oppose you from here to the ends of the earth. I will oppose you because of your disgusting abuse of the great privilege that has been bestowed upon you, and because of the great insult you asperse upon me by suggesting that I carry anything other than love, charity, and good will towards every human being that I meet and have treated in my 30 years of practice as a physician.

There is a magnificent document whose signers pledged their Lives, their Fortunes, and their Sacred Honor to a cause much greater than themselves. Today, I pledge the same in opposition of you.

Here's to seeing the end of your filthy, disgusting, and vile organization.

Wow, no disagreement whatsoever about any component of that letter. Those are the kinds of things I would love to espouse to SH re:CRT but am simply not as eloquent.
Hookem Dr G.
 
In today's Twitter looneyness that supports thugs, I just got suspended unless I delete the tweet which highlighted the thug who shot the Daytona Beach officer.

"@POLICEINFLA "Florida man" yet driving with Cali plates and then likely to ATL. Coward piece of **** needs to just eat a bullet and save the State the cost of trial..."

I've submitted the appeal but doubt it will go anywhere...will probably wind up screen-shotting from the phone and then reposting to highlight Jack and his hug-a-thug staff and their asinine support of criminals.
 
Surely you all have seen stories about this incident in which the trans-"woman" pulled her junk out in the women's dressing room and upset everybody.



Most of what I've seen on this is favorable to the woman and hostile to the spa. I'm totally on board with the woman, but people need to lay the blame where it should be, and it's not on the spa. The spa is damned if it does and damned if it doesn't. If it kicks "John-Wayne-in-a-Dress" out or even asks him to dress somewhere else, it's going to have a complaint filed against it and get sued - and successfully so. Even if it survives that, it's going to become the next Masterpiece Cakeshop, which isn't good if you're a Los Angeles spa. That's pretty much the end of your business.

The blame should lie with the California Legislature for passing stupid laws like this without thinking these very obvious and very foreseeable scenarios through. It's also where the trans movement really goes off the rails. It's not the bathroom issue where 99 percent of the time, nobody sees your junk and doesn't really know who or what everybody is. When I go to the bathroom, I pretty much assume that it's dudes at the urinals, but I'm not looking, and I have no idea who's in the stalls. It's not my business or concern. The real problem is in locker rooms and dressing rooms where people are pulling their dicks out in front of little girls. But the law doesn't account for this. It basically tells girls and woman to get over it and be ok with dicks swinging around them when they're naked and vulnerable.

Obviously, the tranny cannot harass or assault anybody in the room. The law isn't going to protect him in that scenario, but it forces the business to take that chance with its female customers. It can't proactively protect them, and that's messed up.
 
Then on cue a lady in Iowa paraded around a swimmimg pool topless and proceeded to use the men's locker room saying she identified as male. Whem men complained the management pointed to the state of Iowa rules.

When men complained? In all honesty, if a chick wanted to call herself a dude and walk around topless, most of us wouldn't complain. We'd think, "damn, this is my lucky day."

This is largely an "asymmetrical problem."
 
Does that really matter for any teenage boys at the pool?

No. As a teenaged boy, seeing a breast on any chick under 40 would have been my lucky day. And let's be honest. I'm 45, and if I incidentally see a breast out and about (as I have in a few parks and on a beach or two in Europe), I consider it at least a pretty good day.

I saw plenty at the spa in the Schloss Elmau in Bavaria. It only seems to be the thing for the over 70 crowd. I think I'll pass.
 
If you only see one how would you know?
Maybe let your imagination decide

I've been a breast admirer my entire life and have studied them more extensively than I studied law. I don't have to see one in the flesh to know if it's good and if it's real. Lol.
