I am thinking of gettin a zero id

I'm torn as to what I should call myself and what cowardly plank I should promote.

Conflicted.

I'm trying my best to figure this one out

A candidate for the office of President of the US is offering to provide me a healthcare plan like the one that he has in the Congress and Senate.  He states why not, you're paying for it.  Okay, that much I get, makes sense until I start thinking about why am I paying for your healthcare and then going to depend on you to futher my payment to the government to have you provide me a health care like you have now.  So now I will be paying for your health care and mine, but entrusting you to give it too me.  I don't know but this just does not make sense to me.

Number one how about reducing the red tape and the extra taxes out of my pocket, have the same lobbyist and special interest groups that provide you this healthcare, provide me the same deal but I just pay straight up for it and since you guys are millionaires for the most part get your own health care, you could probably afford it far more than I could or any of your middle class folks.  I hear a lot of talk about the middle class but don't we have poverty in this country as well, maybe they will be too poor to vote on election day.

Here in this city our elected officials give millionaires tax payers money to build thier half baked sports franchises, even after the citizens voted against it, most here call it rich welfare.

More of the same even with all the double talk.  No sense in you spending my money, I would rather you let me keep my money and I make my own decision, you on the other hand can use your sweet influence to get them to give everyday citizens the same kiss butt deal they give you now.

Less government means more freedom for you to spend more money that government won't need.

Makes sense to me.

When Nothing became something (reprint)

I once took a journey half way across this great land of America on a Bicycle.  On this journey I testified to how my Nothing brought me out of the grips of Alcoholism.

One day about five days into the trip I realized that my money was running low, I don't know why, but when dollar bills become coins it's kind of an indicator of such.  So out in the middle of Texas just before Texarkana I spoke to Nothing and asked Nothing to show me the way to replenish my pocket so I could buy food and replenishments along my hot July journey.  I trusted my Nothing would hear my cry and help me and then went back on my bicycle and pedaled. 

Just before I got to Texarkana I stopped to get a candy bar and a Pepsi, Pepsi was like filling up with gas, it would give me energy.  While I was sitting next to my bicycle eating a banana and drinking my Pepsi, a gentleman came up to me and handed me a 20 dollar bill.  Well I was a little amazed because I hadn't said anything to the man.  So I said thank you and asked him why he did it.  He told me he didn't know why, he just felt compelled to do it.  Now I was dressed like a bicycler with my spandex and a muscle shirt, had a new bicycle and couldn't have looked like a bum because I had cleaned up and shaved that morning.   He asked me where I was traveling from, I told him I was traveling from Dallas, Texas and was headed to Fairfax, VA and that I was doing so to testify to my Nothing helping me to overcome Alcoholism.  He looked at me and said that's a great story but I don't believe in Nothing but I wish you the best of luck.  I looked at him and shook his hand and said Thank you.

Now I know that my Nothing is powerful, if he could touch the heart of someone that didn't believe in Him, then to me that proves my Nothing exists.

Turns out that by the time I left Texarkana the next morning, I had around 100 dollars to help me continue my trip from people just handing it to me.  I didn't carry any signs asking for help, when asked I would tell them my reason, some gave before that and some gave after that.  One person in the AA program who insisted they believed the existence of Nothing was bunk, gave me a nice fold out couch bed to sleep on and a shower.  Next morning we had a lot to talk about and then I went on my way.

Seems my Nothing had the power to move those that claimed they did not believe in my Nothing to do the very thing I asked my Nothing for in the middle of a road, in the middle of nowhere, under the one shade tree that I had come across for the last 30 miles with a bunch of cattle underneath and each one looking at me like I was crazy.
