"If God Didn't Want Us To Eat Animals ......" "He would not have made them out of meat!" You've undoubtedly heard that admittedly clever one liner, which, while pithy, is also problematic, for if being "made out of meat" is the salient criterion for eating some......body, then by deduction, you and I are one hundred per cent "plat-able", as we are surely made of meat. [And for our purposes here we are talking only of the flesh, as there is presumably no such thing as "eating someones soul", after all....] So to get right to that very vital and very edible organ, the heart of the matter, why, pray tell, don't meat eating Humans eat the meat of other Humans? Or at the very least the family pet; you know, like after The Kids have grown up and mercifully moved out, and FIDO is way too old and feeble to wrangle with an intruder, why, instead of taking him to the Veterinarian or the Shelter to be humanely euthanized, don't we take him to the Butcher or The Slaughter House to be humanely slaughtered, and at least have one last delicious meal off of our Old Friends demise? Come on now, admit it, there's no good reason why you shouldn't eat your Dog when he dies...... I mean what's the problem? And while we're at it, don't the laws need to change to allow for the safe, humane consumption of ALL meat based cadavers? Think about it, there are countless hungry Humans out there and yet we continue burying perfectly good food-"meat"- in expensive boxes called "caskets", or "coffins"....what the Hell is up with that?! Come on people, let's lose the silly taboos and antiquated "traditions" prohibiting the safe consumption of any and all meat. Consider if you will, for example, that there are Humans who would NEVER eat a Cow, others who prefer Dog, and still others for whom LIVE MONKEY BRAIN is the creme de la creme of fine cuisine! And, surely someone somewhere [besides Iron deficient Mike Tyson] is licking his chops at the prospect of eating his enemies and their children....so let us come up to speed and "get with the program" here........see you for dinner! Sincerely, "Toothless" Fred Carroll

Or at least it did when I was a kid. What between being an abomination before the Lord and being reviled and hated by the very ones to whom one was presumably attracted, or wanted to be attractive to or whatever it might be . . . and then if the so called "psychiatric profession" got its hooks into you, you'd be lucky to get away with all of your brain still intact . . . and the police were the instrument that would hand you over to the so called doctor with the lobotomy in his black bag of tricks...so things have presumably changed for the better, but if the Bible is still around 

and it is, then hey, no one is safe, really!

     The laws have changed surely but you can't legislate bigotry out of the human heart anymore than you can legislate homosexuality out of the human libido; and so  the battle of the sexes rages on the various fronts . . . at this point I'll drop in what is in fact my primary premise which is that "homophobia" is (at its core) an instrument of imperial oppression. So some dumb street bigot is little more than a colonized Indian "wearing a uniform" doing The Mans bidding to my way of thinking, so maybe it's a coincidence that someone who is arguably one of the all  time great American patriot just changed her name from Bradley to Chelsea . . . bu I don' t think so.

Is it just me, or is the connection between Muscular Dystrophy and Fire Fighting a little bit less than obvious? I am of course referring to Fire Fighters posting up at the intersection of Washington and Main Streets and approaching every stopped at the light vehicle and holding out a "Boot" for drivers to feed with cash .......maybe they'll also swipe a credit card for you, I don't know. Is this begging? Is this THE MOST DIFFICULT "NO" A SOLICITEE" WILL EVER PROFFER? Who do you have to admire to get the Fire Department to do your "soliciting" for you? Why only MS? Is that the worst disease? Was there a little boy with this disease who won the hearts of a particular Fire Station once, and the thing went viral? What? What is the logic behind this?

Middletown Has The Greatest Bums In The World.......that's the good news; the bad news is, that even "The greatest Bums who ever existed in the history of the world" are nonetheless a righteous drag, or perhaps more accurately and specifically , a"self righteous drag". And that, in a nuts-hell is the problem. These Bums "around here" don't seem to know that even a good "old style paradigm" Bum is useless and in the way....or, knowing, they don't really believe it. And neither do you really believe it either! You "non homeless" for the most part probably don't grasp the extent to which, without a dollar in your pocket you might as well just lay down and die, prompting from passers by the question "I wonder, should I step over or walk around?" Yup, without a Yankee Dollar in pocket you might as well just lay down on the ground and expire, the only question concomitant to your poorly placed departure being one of circumnavigation. I am of course perfectly serious about that.....have you not walked by a Homo Sapien lying, possibly dead, on the ground? I have....... Clearly, that "person" lying on the ground was not anybody important, or, if the were important, nobody walking by that day recognized that it was an important person lying there on the ground.....Which brings me to the point, that there is a very fundamental lie, or perhaps "hallucination" is the word, to the "way we do business" around here-key word "business". Every thing[and everyone] has been objectified, commodified, codified, and the bottom line is the bottom line. Yeah, you, me, or a Cow, we're food on someone's plate, sooner or later, in one way or another, end of story. If you'd like "some evidence" just try and deny the I.R.S. [a.k.a. the ATF of Waco Texas Fame....] their next meal of "the fruits of your labors" and see haw visceral it gets, see how real how fast it gets.
In conclusion, the Bums are Victims, Ladies and Gentlemen, even as we all are; we all have our predators and parasites who eventually lay us low, if not fully take us down. The "poor pathetic dopes" who can be seen, heard, and smelled standing, stumbling, leaning, and lurching about are simply Signed, sealed, and Delivered Losers who've gotten their bona fides, so to speak. So yeah, if "these dopes" could figure it out to find a less obnoxious way to Serve The System, or Serve Themselves To The System we'd all be a lot happier or at least less unhappy. And that's what I know about that.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Can't Get There From Here, The Preposterous Police Paradigm Middletown- you, me, and forty five thousand of our closest friends. The Police-I don't know the total staff number but there are generally about one hundred gun toting, badge wearing Officer types, and their job, Ladies and Gentlemen, is, to make sure that the rest of us behave ourselves in a general kind of way and obey all the important laws, right? Do you know anyone other than a Lawyer who knows "The Law"? Do you think Cops are particularly well versed in "The Law"? And what, pray tell, is this "Law"? Is Law from God? Does God guide the hand of the Lawmaker, whether King, President, President For Life, Pharaoh or what have you? And to hasten an answer to my posited questions, no, of course not on all accounts. So what "motivates" any given Policy Enforcer? Well, from soup to nuts and varying from individual to individual, but of course there's the paycheck and the power, those would be constants. Would you do this if you weren't getting paid is a certain Litmus Test. Most "standing armies" for example won't fight if they don't get paid, as far as I understand, whereas Revolutionaries and Insurgents and Freedom Fighter types fight either for freedom, homeland, life itself, or obviously just cause they're crazy and like to fight in some cases, but it ain't about a Paycheck. If it is about a paycheck, then it's time to talk about money, and who controls money.....and we know who makes and owns "the money", though don't look to me for THAT story. But for example, if the Police where about Justice and What's Right, they would smash their way into every establishment which sells cigarettes, grab the proprietor, drag him out into the the street, and pistol whip him-"This is for Johnny, who's got Cancer!".

Guest Blog: Fred Carrol: What's The Plan, Stan? More Thoughts On Centerscam

"Dr." Fred Carrol has shared his thoughts with us many times before via guest blog- his last can be read here:  "Thoughts on Homelessness". ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What's The Plan, Stan? More Thoughts On Centerscam......Firstly, let me say that I only occasionally deal to any great extent with so called "facts", finding rumor, hearsay, gossip, speculation, and innuendo to be much more reliable tools for getting at "the truth" of a given situation. That said, let me state my basic premise for this blog and then dance with a few details in due time......My basic premise is that Centerplan's plan for "Developing" the area in question may in fact be the best thing that ever was about to happen to Middletown, CT., America, or the whole world, but THAT is NOT Centerscam's motivation for attempting to do this thing.......Centerscam [and all like minded parties] have one motive and one motive only.....and IT IS NOT TO BENEFIT MIDDLETOWN!.,.....okay?
Can we get that little detail straight? A [small] bunch of REALLY BIG DOPES has "a plan" to make some fast, stupid money and that, Ladies and Gentlemen is all there is to it.....okay? Does ANYONE [even N.E.A.T.] not see that?! Okay, great, so some figuratively and literally Big Dumb Dopes decides dat dey is gonna make some money, hey, you gotta problem wit dat? No, I didn't tink so, so dey starts da process of changing the rules so they don't have to break the rules [clever, eh?], and a bunch folks who "fear change" jump up [and down] about "Oh my gosh. you are going to ruin the neighborhood that I have been investing blood sweat and tears in, why?" and the answer comes back; "Shut up, we knows whats is best fuh everybody.....forget about it, eh?" So that is clearly where the the thing currently stands, sits, or whatever it is; now, for some speculation......NEAT gets an office in the new development and Mayor Dan gets no second term, having shown himself to be "More whore than Democrat" for his support of this idiocy......even as supporting Linda Mcwhatshername cost Republican Mayor Seb G. and Councilman Davis B. their respective Offices [or "job" as it's regarded around these parts].

Thank You Fred Carroll

Of Niggers And Fagots And Bitches And Whores....Do You Speak "Street?"

Everyone knows the term Quality Of Life and it is clearly a self explanatory phrase, as in when you hear "Quality of Life code violation enforcement" you think of Rudy what's his name, and New York City being saved, salvaged, resurrected as it was, from the criminality which had reached critical mass by the simplest, most obvious tactic in the world......go after little things, and you solve big problems when all is said and done. And while I don't wish to compare Middletown to New York, I suggest that the principle demonstrated by the "New York Experiment" is too valuable to ever ignore. Society at large of course cannot legislate stupidity or hostility out of the human heart, but since "From the heart speaketh the mouth", I sure would like to see enforcement of any and all codes pertaining to volume, content, context and correctness with regard to "hate speech". If liquored up loquacious loiterers got ticketed for their loud public vulgarity, eventually a "change of heart" might even occur in their restless, heaving breast........and let's get those Spittoons on the ground!
