What Michelle Beadle Can't Say . . .

The views stated within this post aren't endorsed by Michelle Beadle, ESPN, ABC, Disney or any of their affiliates . . . so we don't need anyone trying to get anyone fired or suspended!!

I'm a dedicated fan to the show SportsNation and admire how Beadle and Colin Cowherd stray away from the usual "have to say just the right thing" comments sport media has taken of late, and express their actual opinions in a controlled manner unlike Skip Bayless and Jim Rome. And for people to be attacking Beadle, and calling her a racist because of her personal view of Michael Vick and his well known "previous" lifestyle, is asinine.  She hasn't taking anything away from his production and has said numerous times that his play is unarguably making a difference, but she can not give him any praise as a person, because as a person he sucks.  What he did and was involved in, is beyond forgiveness. And Beadle acknowledges this on air, but due to the sensitivity of our country she's hampered by what she may actually want to say and may not have enough air time to get her whole point across.  It truly has nothing to do with being an animal lover, it has to do with thinking your life is more important then a dog, cat, or any other animal - this isn't just a Vick issue but human issue.  Vick and whom ever else was involved should still be in jail and should have been trailed as if they murdered humans.  Why is that just because dogs were the victims here and their lives lost that the crime is seen as less of an offense - life was lost nonetheless was it not?!  Within the animal kingdom, there isn't murder, there's only protection of young, food, territory and pack dominance...but they don't kill just to kill, or to rid their self of another creature.  We as humans do that, yet we're supposed to be the higher intelligence, civilized, know all be all powers that be on this planet and somehow we can't figure out that killing each other is just the opposite of all of those things; the animals figured it out.  If it's not out right self defense, then what's the need of a human taking a life, of man or animal.  There's several cultures that encourage the abuse or usage of animals within numerous things such as dog fighting, there's also cock fighting, the running of the bulls, rodeos, horse racing (a horse being wiped is abuse), bullfighting, etc..there's an abundance of activities we put animals through that I'm sure if it were up to them, they'd choose not to do.  And those asinine people trying to label Beadle as a racist, should also notice that the subculture of dog fighting isn't just prominent within the Black community because is rampant within the Hispanic and Southern White cultures as well, it's just well known that Blacks are more likely to use pit bulls or bull dogs in dog fights.  Many also contend Vick wasn't responsible.  It was his property, his money, his friends and family, and if he didn't know then it was his responsibility to know what was going on under his umbrella of his circle around him.  Just as someone who dies from a gun shot via a drive-by or crossfire, car crash caused by a drunk driver or someone talking on the phone or texting while driving . . . those innocent people can't be brought back to life, and neither can those dogs.  And this isn't just towards Vick, but anyone who partakes in the unnecessary devastation of life, especially life that doesn't have a voice...but is that the reason why people feel it's not a big deal or shouldn't be on the same level as murdering a human, because they don't communicate with writing and linguistic language as we do.  And if that is your reason, then you're a moron who needs to be moved to the Phantom Zone.  Along with Vick who thinks he deserves the privilege of love from a dog ever again...if you want love, get a Chia Pet.

And just for the record, we're NOT a country of forgiveness and second chance. We're a country of, if you can make me money now then I'll help blur your past, ignore and pretend your wrong doings didn't happen, country. If his stats or play weren't what they are right now, do you actually think the NFL and car dealerships would be embracing him?!?


Dear Roger Goodell, you have more problems with concussions and a possible work stoppage with the NFL.


...I'd like to have Vick at a table in a discussion with Beadle, Cesar Millan, and myself.  Three people who'll actually deal with him in a conversation, not sideline reporters who only have 45 seconds after a game or a school room full of kids who are just happy they're in the same room with a NFL player.

Who Gets To Decide... Their Life?

Took a few weeks off, had to adjust to the disappointment of the Phillies losing the NLCS to the Giants, which will be discussed in a upcoming blog post, but onto the matter at hand.....

Watched, "You Don't Know Jack", yesterday, I highly recommend it, it's a good film. That's not surprising because it stars Al Pacino, John Goodman, Susan Sarandon and Danny Huston; it's a glimpse at the life & work of Jack Kevorkian. Personally, I've never seen what he does or advocates as a crime, wrong, unnecessary action or power trip. And this became world news in the 90's when I was only 9-17 years of age, and all I thought was he's a man trying to help not destroy. If anything, he was trying to destroy days of living not being able to live.

He was helping those who were suffering end their suffering, whom are others to determine they're not to decide their own fate. Doctors and families decide the same exact thing, when removing someone from a feeding tube or oxygen machine and technically with the death penalty (which I'm so for and we need to use more). And those people are usually not privy to what's going on, well except the bastard in the chair or gas chamber...at least his patients had the wherewithal to acknowledge they wanted to release their families from the burden of various duties and finances. Now obviously, not ever Dick, Tom & Jane should be allowed to decide to end their life by medical assistance, but if they're suffering from an incurable diease that ravages the body and brain; and they're able to without a doubt declare this is what they want to be done then it should be done. Should be done without prejudice or threat of imprisonment to the individual(s) who are willing to assist them. No nothing like a noose or blunt object should be used, it should be carried out painless way, if there truly is such a thing. Your body may not feel anything, but your mind will and isn't that the real justice he's providing, mental relief as well. We witness paralyzed individuals live life to the fullest all the time but they may have the mental strength to carry on even though they can't walk away, but they feel no pain but most likely mental angst. As where someone who has ALS, Parkinson's or even advanced stages of HIV/AIDS or a form of cancer, they feel the life force slip away each and everyday. Now some things may happen due to certain life decisions like unprotected sex, but in the end, it's still their decision.

Yet, people want to put a moral stamp or religious stance against it when it has nothing to do with either! No one wants to die, but who wants to live years of agony and suffering of not only their self but to witness it basically kill their families from the outside in. And I'm not making this a soapbox situation to argue against moral strict or religious people, I totally understand where they're coming from. But they should try to see where those who's decision it is in the first place, try to see where they're coming from. And wouldn't the only opinions that really matter be those, of those who he assisted and their families who were among those deciding too, and many of the people who contacted him were the wife, husband, brother, sister or child of the person in pain - they wanted their relative to have the release just as much as the pained one. Really, in the end, once again it comes down to money. Health providers, health carriers, hospitals and doctors are in it for the money. Relieving you of your pain doesn't pay like keeping you around. Now obviously not the whole industry feels this way or works this way, but there's no money in death only for the funeral director and he only gets paid once. And from what's been made public, I don't believe he ever charged a dime to assist anyone.

Now this is simplistic, but it could help and is a start:
Individual must be diagnosed and receive 2nd/3rd opinions on their "incurable" disease. There should be a disease scale of determination, so no one who's having joint problems, possibility of blindness or deafness be allowed to jump in the grave - not saying those people wouldn't be in some forms of pain but it should be something that will not only change your life and mental stability, the lives of others as well but also be something that would cripple your finances, demand you almost never be alone, and probably prevent you from leading some sort of life of enjoyment. They must also go through a minimal psychological review to determine if they're just a manic depressive or sane and comprehensive of their actions/decision. And if their spouse or life partner aren't available, then their children, sibling or medical facility should be apart of the decision or interviewed on their psychological frame of mind and the everyday life of the person being assisted. And of course, a legal document should be in place.

. . . . . . this world has far too many other issues at hand, to bicker over someone trying to leave it without agonizing pain and in some last form of peace.

Can the "Rapture" hurry up so the rest of us can have some fun...

As an Agnostic, most think I'm very obtuse to the beliefs, ideas, and structures of religion or spirituality.  That's until they realize after a conversation I may, and most of the time know more about their own respective religion then they do themselves.  For some reason, religious/spiritual people think Agnostics and Atheist, are ignorant, blasphemous, dangerous, worldly people - when in fact, most of us are completely the opposite.  Most are well educated, peaceful, moral & law abiding folks, that only think it's better to talk about things we can literally see with our own eyes and prove with science.  Now, yes, science doesn't and may not be able to prove everything; but guess what, neither does literature written unwitnessed by the eyes of anyone who could accurately attribute the source.  And this is when a lot of religious/spiritualist would say, it's their "faith" that allows them to "believe" in what is and how religious text have come to be.  Well let me tell you something, if you don't pay your utility bills, they'll be shutoff and I have faith in that happening because I know what the source is - and I believe this does happen, often.  But if you can't tell me where the Garden of Eden is/was, then I can't accept your faith or belief to be an accurate GPS of the past.

And why am I pleading for the Rapture to come.  Well according to the Bible, all those who believe will be taken away.  That would make this world so much more an actual paradise...because religion is the main contributor to the devastation of Earth now.  All of the major wars were due to religion, and some will argue they were over things like money.  Well kiddies, the reason money was created was because of religion, for those who don't know, the Catholic Church commissioned priest and monks to make gold, silver and bronze coins and church symbols to show their will and high status in known world at the time.  Vikings and such of course stole and robbed those surrounding churches because they were poor.  They could then use or sale the gold/silver/bronze to other traders for food and supplies.  Yes, instead of using the material to help the poor, they wanted 13th century bling-bling down to their knees. Fast forward a few hundred centuries to today's world, may have not been gold/silver/bronze but obviously oil - how did these "wars" start to begin with? Oh yeah, that's right, Islam hates the openness of the Western world, which is mainly Christian.  I'm trying to figure how so many can follow those who: are behind the molestation of young boys & girls (not in the U.S.), Nuns (in some countries), adultery, money laundering of various tactics, who preach hatred towards other humans (i.e. homosexuals, race, other religions) . . . and some will argue they're the fallen from the grace of God, and they're not the whole just a few.  I say they're no better then Jim Jones, and neither are the followers.  And if the Rapture were to happen, all these people would be taken away; and there would be no more war over who loves Jesus or Allah (and the others) more...now, there would probably be wars over who gets the rice fields and cotton balls, but at least those could be solved by just trading instead of my God allows the Sun to raise in the East unlike your God, he let's it rain all day.  My personal view, is instead of taking the Bible, Koran, or any other religious literature seriously, how about thinking it as an early cultural Aesop's Fables tutorial before mankind started making sense of the known world.  Basically, those who aren't following these ways are the people who just wake up everyday and say, I'll treat you like a good person because I'm a good person and you're a good person. No, this isn't everyone who isn't religious/spiritual, but I guarantee most of them are the most trustworthy, dependable, honest individuals you'll ever know.


Ironically, I have an abundance of friends and close associates who are religious/spiritual, and most know about my stance. And even then some attempt to converse with me on such topics they know will cause their blood to boil.  But I think they stay my friend because I don't disrespect them as people or their intelligence (at least not within this area), and I challenge and make fun of all religions, not just Christianity or Islam; I have a ball with Mormons and Jehovah Witnesses (which remains me, I need more Watch Towers for the litter box). Though, some of the teachings of Hindu and Buddhism, center around basically treating people equally and karma.  Yet other religions try to monarch their belief as the be all to end all; and that it's their way or the highway but then say all is equal.  I'm sorry, you can't have both.

And wouldn't it be better to have ideas instead of beliefs, you can change an idea as you get updated information, but you can't change a belief once it's founded. 

Hello, hello...it's good to be back again!

Hello! Hello! It's good to be back, it's good to be back!! Hello!! Hello!! It's good to be back, it's good to be back!! Did you miss me? Yeah, while I was away, did you hang my picture on your wall?

Yes, it's true, your eyes do not deceive you! I am back exposing the world to my mentality. From FortuneCity to my own website (Dreamer's Ball) and now this . . . it's 5:27am on a Sunday morning, so I really don't have shit to say...but Facebook isn't enough for me to spread the sanity and humor this world is in dire need of. So hopefully, I'll get some old friends from my prior WWW ventures and let's see where we go. All aboard!!

For those newbies, I dear not allow censorship as far as language and topics, so speak you mind - the only thing banned is racism. Not the topic of racism but being a racist, not just to me but anyone who post on this blog.
