one more rant

Just one more rant before work, while I'm eating.

I would like to confess something. This might be described as a 'sinful thought.' This is something that I feel guilty about, and disapprove of, but I felt it and I desired it anyway, because I am human.

When I heard that somebody had shot some people in Texas, and it involved some members of government, and that one of the people who died was a judge... my feeling was 'this is a good thing.'

I started hoping that the particular judge who died was somebody involved in the case against the FLDS Ranch, the 'Yearning for Zion' ranch, the genocide. (I need to look this up because I can't remember if it happened in Texas or Arizona.) Part of the definition of genocide includes 'taking away their children and transferring them to another group.'

I can just hear the Children and Youth Services, or whatever - the Child Protective Agency or whatever it's called - I can just hear them saying 'We're not a "group!" We're the government!'

'Group' makes it sound bad. They'd say government isn't a 'group!' But it is. They would say that 'group' makes it sound like a loosely formed, free-market, informal group or gang. Government is (supposedly) much more respectable than that! (Yes: they're the worst 'group' in the world! They're not just any old group.)

So I was hoping that the judge who died was somebody involved in the FLDS genocide.

Somebody made a hoax phone call complaining about child molestation at the ranch. Very soon afterwards, everybody knew the phone call was a hoax. But it didn't matter. They used it as an excuse to raid the ranch, even though everybody knew the phone call was fake. Then they took all the children away. At least one of the children died as a result because they were kept at some orphanage where some stupid person kept a pitt bull dog outside within reach of the children, and the kid was killed by the pitt bull.

Apparently the government in Texas or Arizona or whichever - I need to look it up again - decided this was all okay.

So I felt... because I'm human... that I wished it was one of those judges who got killed in the shooting. I tried to look it up, but I didn't find out the names of the people involved in the FLDS case who were responsible for saying 'Taking away all of these children is fine and okay.'

I have to get ready for work....

By the way, 'they' were bugging me because I complained about the 'tahini' incident. They were telling me that tahini is the particular ingredient that I'm sensitive to. I don't know if it is or not. Then they were saying that it's something Arabs eat, or Middle Easterners eat, or something. I would need to find out whether that's right or not. It doesn't matter - I think that the Arabs and Middle Easterners are more likely violent for other reasons and not because of tahini. If anything, if it's chemical, it would be because they are surrounded by tons of petroleum pollution from wonderful, amazing things like mountainsides that burn forever, where you can go and talk to God, because methane is coming out of the earth, and the air is full of poisonous chemicals that probably make you go crazy. If anything, that would be my 'chemical' theory as to why the Middle East is a violent place. My Libertarian theory is that it's violent because the United States and other countries are constantly meddling with them, but that's another story. And I have to work....
