walstib, ykwim?

What a long strange trip indeed:
RI -> FL -> RI -> MA -> RI -> CA -> TN -> CA -> ?
Horror stories from the past, to current trials and tribulations; from my takes on the environment, baseball, overpopulation, hippies, jam bands, politics, neurological disorders, sex, religion (yikes!), big money, and pop culture, to future speculations and musings on life after employment; with liberal amounts of sarcasm and dry humour on the side.

If Romney becomes President...



Abortion will become illegal. Watch the return of the coat hanger and back alley abortions. Women of child bearing age will die.

Cannabis will never become legal. Romney will see that every state legal medical cannabis dispensary is shut down, The war on drugs gets ramped up, more people will be thrown in jail for simple cannabis possessions, jails remain full of non-violent ‘criminals.’

Equality for gay people will never happen. Gay marriage will not be recognized.

Contraceptives will become increasingly difficult to obtain. There will be no sex education in schools. Planned Parenthood will lose its Federal funding. Teen pregnancy rates soar.

Public education funding will be gutted. The only quality education available will be in expensive private schools.

Funding for the arts will be slashed. Big Bird had better watch out.

Big oil, big tobacco, big pharma, big auto, big defense, big banks and all their cronies on Wall Street will have all regulations removed. Main Street is a ghost town.

Evolution and global warming will not be allowed to be taught in schools.

Despite declining numbers, Christianity will become the official religion.

Meaningless wars will continue to be fought in remote areas of the planet so that big defense will retain their big government contracts. Without abortions, contraception and homosexuality, Romney will have plenty of live, disenfranchised bodies to ship abroad. (Don’t forget, teen pregnancy rates will soar.)

Health insurance will become a nightmare. With policies in place to ensure profits before anything else, the CEO’s become richer, the populace becomes sicker.

Environmental protection regulations will be stripped, the EPA shut down. Corporations, free to pollute at will, do so, at will.

The Keystone pipeline becomes a reality. Within 5 years there is a massive leak. In the meantime, solar and wind energy subsidies and tax breaks are discontinued.

The rich will get richer, the rest of us will eat cake, presumably.


Please vote for Obama/Biden. If you are living in a solid blue state, please vote for Jill Stein, Green party.
