Survey Says….LET’S MAKE A DEAL…ready, steady, go!

March 16th, 2010

Some people are very sure they want socialized healthcare, and other people say they’d rather die., and other people say they just don ‘t fucking know. What it’s really all about is cost. What can I get, how much money will it cost me, and how much will my doctor get, and what will the hospital make?

My suggestion, after watching a documentary tonight about the CCC put into place by Roosevelt, is sort of a trade off. Rather than just taking your money, or trading money for services, why don’t we BUILD something new? We ARE the crazy Americans after all. What Roosevelt did back in the day when soup kitchens were how people were fed, and unemployment was up to 25% or higher, was put people to work. And in exchange, they made money, and were fed, and that money went to their families. Many people at the time called this socialist. But to me, not so much, because these people were DOING something to earn what they got. And what they did was stop the Dust Bowl by terraforming the land, plant trees, make paths, trails, and conserve. They made it so we can all visit national parks. That’s pretty good for $30 a month per person, with $25 going to help the starved out family.  An entire generation of young men, (now it would be people), wanting to work, grateful to be fed, and who would MUCH rather be out in the woods than sitting around.  So they got what they wanted, work, clothes, food, shelter, and good times. Maybe the solution isn’t higher payments or taxes or regulations. Maybe it’s a little give and take on both ends.

I am tired of the rant in general for now, but I do know that we are doomed to repeat history if we haven’t learned from it. And by the way, if you are interested in that Marxist textbook I was talking about being used in an AMERICAN GOVERNMENT CLASS, that University using it is Colorado State University in Fort Collins, CO. I’m sure there are others, but I would love to hear what some of my industrious readers have to tell me if they call or email CSU on why this is an approved textbook. Remember, this is the one with NO references in it at all. WHAT A SHITTY BOOK! Let’s find out more about it!!!!!!! SO……

LET’S MAKE A DEAL: $50.00-ish CHALLENGE

I will send you $5.00 for making a call to this university and telling me what you get via email or phone-must include the name and number of person you talked to, with a brief write-up of your experience. Bonus for live footage or digital recording of any kind.

I will send you $20.00 if you raise hell, just because you can, (VISUAL RECORDING NECESSARY),and you’re exercising your right to freedom of speech, to try and frustrate someone at the university about this book, or if you can annoy the prof. Asking questions such as, “Why doesn’t this book have references? or “Why do you, a person with an education, roof over your head, and food to eat, and the ability to make as much money as you want to work for, live in this country and put it down at the same time?” ” If you think oppressed people should be set free, would you give me some money? I’m oppressed because my school hours prohibit me from having a job that makes me enough. C’MON MAN, it’s the SOCIALIST WAY-I THOUGHT WE WERE BRO’S!!!!!”

If you have really frustrated someone and enraged them,  then I will get you some more dough in order to buy soothing beverages. But not a keg ok? You have to buy it yourself.

$10.00 will go to the person who can locate another university that uses this vile book. An extra $5.00 is yours if you can get the Department Head, Dean, or Prof to go on record stating why they think this is an appropriate American History Book.

$20.00, and possibly a bonus for a person who DOES NOT ATTEND THE CLASS to go in there disguised, Scream, “THIS CLASS IS A SHIT SHOW” and drop a copy of the constitution, but MOST importantly, the Declaration of Independence on the professor, or in front of him. I have it on very good authority that this man has said, “I hate that document.”Even more bonus points if you can get a nasty Beastie Boys song going, or something inappropriate for the classroom. DO NOT DO THIS YOURSELF IF YOU ATTEND THE CLASS. I DO NOT WANT YOU TO FLUNK OVER THIS.

See, Capitalism is good. I want a service, I pay for it, and hopefully, a labor pool responds. Costs are somewhat negotiable. The $50.00 is a starting point.

I’m dead serious about this folks. This doesn’t have to be limited to CSU, if your university has this trash, go right ahead with the plan. Be advised I am not made of money, and cannot pay you all, so check in with me before you go do these deeds. I want to know who I’m paying. Make sure your actions are legal, as I will not bail you out of jail. Don’t get caught if you’re the shit show person, make sure you know your exits. And then tell your friends. Perhaps you can all intrinsically motivate yourselves to be entitled to a damn fine education for what it costs, by protesting the shit show they are giving  you.

YOU ARE THE CONSUMER. YOU CONSUME WHAT YOU WANT. DON’T LET THEM JUST GIVE YOU MINDLESS DRIVEL AND SLOP. THEY EXPECT THAT YOUR BRAIN IS SO WASTED FROM TV AND VIDEO GAMES AND TOO MUCH BUD THAT THEY AREN’T EXPECTING ANYONE TO PUT UP A FIGHT. AND DON’T LET THOSE BASTARDS EVER PLAY THE RACE CARD. WE’VE ALL BEEN SLAVES TO EVERYONE AT SOME POINT. NO ONE HAS EVER NOT BEEN ENSLAVED.

If nothing else, your psych prof or social prof might give you credit for this as a social experiment for operating outside the norms. Go to them if you need a safe house.

Email me troops if you’re going to do it! kelly@kellykrings.com

Expand on it, and pass it along to other schools that are giving crap classes.

And don’t think that I might not be among you. I would never give you an assignment I wouldn’t do myself.

“People shouldn’t be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of their people.”

And I say, “that starts with education. Educate your teachers that you won’t be pushed around, and send a message to the government that you aren’t going to be pushed around either.”

“You decide. Not them.”

“Do not give up  your power.”

GO!

And if they try to give you hell, cite your rights. Tell them you’ll fetch your lawyer. Tell them you’ll call the ACLU. They might piddle in their pants a little. This is when you make your escape if cornered.

Trading Luck

March 5th, 2010

Kristi and Aric came to visit this last weekend, and we traded the luck with them. There is no finite amount of luck in the universe that I am aware of, but there is possibly a balance of it traded amongst parties. So the party that gets the luck increases whatever they’re trying to do, and kicks some ass, and the other party remains happily in stasis, until it is time to change the luck again.

I am extremely happy they came to visit, but feel at this time that if I don’t a.) let out a super long rant or b.) go to sleep, then c.) I will go mad.

I am irritated right now. I have PMS. Everything is offending me right now, down to the pillows and the blankets. If I went outside, I would be offended by some tree or bush, and be tempted to kick it or burn it. It’s at times like these that I understand, just briefly, why human beings have been trying to alter their states of consciousness for years.

I’m aware that it’s hormone driven, but it makes no difference. Knowing why does not necessarily change feeling. I think in primitive times, when women went to the “moon hut”, they did that so anything they smashed with their club was a bit off from the camp.

This is how I feel right now...

This is how I feel right now...

Enjoy your day. I’ll be back when I’m not feeling  like this pissed off emu. I miss Kristi and Aric. Donnie has offered to get me apple pie.

These are a few of my favorite things…

December 9th, 2009

Well, the way to get cheered is to do things you like. And appreciate things and people. SO.

I love my husband. I love Kristi and Wendy, and all my other awesome friends.

I love Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett’s writings. I love Charlaine Harris and her Sookie Books. I love Harry Potter. I love Zalazny books. I love books in general.

Right now, husband has me on a Farscape binge. If you missed this wonderful show, go find it and watch it. Muppets. Outer Space. Sex. Guns. Weird Aliens. Good writing. Good effects. What more could you want? And it’s 10 years old!

I love reiki. I love spiritual pursuits.

I love kickass action movies. Matrix, V for Vendetta, Star Wars….there are so many.

I love good food. I love to be warm. I love my sister’s music. I love Tori Amos’s music, even the weird stuff, even though I don’t know what the hell she’s trying to pull off with that. Perhaps keeping herself OUT of the mainstream.

But I do not love this kind of rubbery and tasteless hot ham and cheese sandwich I got at the deli in the basement of the bank. I love that I have a cookie and cheetos though.
