In Virgina, Code 1930 has a statute that prohibits corrupt practices or bribery by any person other than a political candidate...
WOW...talk about being ahead of the game...one would think that the policy makers in the Commonwealth of Virginia were prophetic from birth...having the foresight to establish rules and regulations that would allow these types of people the possibility of spouting off lies with impunity...maybe we should be asking these people what's gonna happen when the Mayan Calendar Round quits ticking...or maybe it wasn't through prophetic practices that they came up with these laws...perhaps it was a preventive and protective measure of intellect that came to the conclusion laws of this nature were necessary...a blanket coverage program so to speak...something I found myself getting more familiar with this afternoon while I was sitting in the comfort of my own house and had a couple of holy rollers knock on my door...now normally I do NOT answer the door for religious denizens of this description...for several different reasons...first and foremost...as many of you are probably aware...I don't subscribe to organized religion...secondly...I find it extremely offensive that these people peddle religion like a door to door salesman...which is blasphemous in and of itself...religious tenets implore followers to SPREAD the word...NOT sell it...if I wanted to know your personal opinions I would attend the big old building where you pray and preach...when you approach my door you change the dynamics from a close forum format to an open door for discussion and debate...if you lack the intelligence to formulate an argument in favor of your opinion...your first fault was thinking you had the power to convince another person to change their mind...long story short...the lady in charge began her opening statement with..."We are out in the area today reaching out to people regarding the recent tragedy in Connecticut and to dispel the myth that this had anything to do with 'God's Will'"...SCREECH to a halt right there..."God's Will" is the same type of blanket principle put in place by Code 1930 in the state of Virginia...it is a utensil that is implemented as a blanket coverage program...it allows religious institutions to offer an EXPLANATION for things that do NOT make sense to them...political forums use the same techniques and tactics to EXCUSE themselves from possible punishment or association with a forbidden practice...they are easy to use by anyone that wants to take advantage of NOT using common sense and intellect to research and discover the true reasons behind an event...Earthquake off the coast of Japan creates massive tsunami and kills thousands of people...musta been God's Will right??? WRONG...maybe it has more to do with living on a planet that WE do NOT fully understand ourselves yet...perhaps it has more to do with living in an area such as an island...surrounded by water than it does with an Almighty entity that has decided to punish a select group of worshippers simply because it was bored that day...political candidates LIE...habitually...they are corrupt from the time of conception...you don't need blanket coverage protection plans to prevent them from being punished...you just need common sense to realize it is a fact of human nature to lie...cheat and steal...all of the characteristics and traits we were taught in our youth to be socially unacceptable...are the same things we apply in order to get an edge on those we are competing against...it is the nature of the beast to achieve greater success than those we associate with...the age old adage...'He who dies with the most toys wins'...is a direct reflection of this belief system...those that remain honest...loyal and law abiding...are the meek that will inherit the Earth...now STOP for a second and think about that...these people have the opportunity to inherit an entire planet...at a time when NOTHING else will exist...that's one helluva HELLO if ya ask me...this code being in place in Virginia should NOT be a shock to anyone...you cannot lie...cheat or steal unless you are a political candidate because your government HATES competition...governments...organized religions and businesses are all successful for ONE reason and ONE reason ONLY...people BUY into the belief systems associated with them...look around the world you live in for fact finding examples...new religions and cults pop up all the time...as do new governments...why??? Because those that were once content with the direction the belief system associated with the program was taking them...have for whatever reason...changed their outlook and want something they feel better suits their needs...look at it on a smaller scale if you need further understanding...every NFL team that has won a Super Bowl possess one thing the other team did not have when the game was played...a BELIEF in themselves...their teammates and the program implemented by the coaches...if even ONE of these players doubts their abilities the entire team suffers the consequences...this concept applies to every aspect of societal interaction...if the drive...determination and desire are NOT there in every member of the system...it will fracture...which had to happen at some point in the history of Virginia...several people became fed up with trying to determine what was the truth...they therefore elected to accept it as commonplace and move on...personally I think there is an easier way to identify when a politician is lying that wouldn't have cost money from taxpayer pockets...it's a simple process really...wanna know how to tell if a political candidate is lying??? Their mouth is open and words are falling out...NO LAWS NEEDED!!! On a side note...since I mentioned the events in Connecticut earlier...while tragic and devastating in nature...it is NOT the proper format for displaying your pulpit on my front porch promoting a religious belief of any nature...statistically speaking...less than 1% of children who are murdered...die while being at school...and this problem...although statistically small in the grand scope of things...is easily solved without the interference of an organized religious belief...several of our veterans are returning home and being released from their commitment in the Armed Services...you place a heavily armed...former U.S. Marine on the front door step of every school in the nation...and schoolroom shootings will cease to exist or find their way into the daily media...old Billy Badass with a bad attitude is gonna think twice about harming innocent children to get their point across...I have a cousin that teaches at a school in southern Michigan...who is now paranoid every time he hears foot steps in the hall...I dare say that if the plan I offered as a suggestion were put in place...his class room environment would benefit immensely...and as an added benefit our children would develop and deeper respect and appreciation of the WARRIORS that are willing to sacrifice themselves in order to keep others safe...a feature that has been sorely lacking in this country since WWII!!!
