I WANT TO WISH ALL OF MY READERS A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

     I want to wish all of you a very Merry Christmas! I appreciate you as readers, but will be back on the Blogger trail after Christmas, doing what all of you should do: Focusing my thoughts and time on all of my family and friends. We will deal with the world after! :) 

     I just hope that Peace will reign during this time, and the violent world we live in will take a break. Too many tears will be shed this year due to terrorism, road rage and gang violence. Believe it or not, there is hope. Whether you like him or not, PEOTUS, Donald Trump, offers us a bright light at the end of what was appearing to be a long dark tunnel of liberalism and progressive ideology. So buck up, folks. Better times are coming.

     For those of you (us) who are Christians, remember the One who offers us the real hope of Peace. We celebrate the birth of Jesus who is the light of the world, if they would only know Him and allow Him into their lives and hearts. Nothing and no one offers the continual strength, love and peace that He freely gave and gives. In this crazy world, He is the constant light of the world. I hope you get to know Him. Merry Christmas folks.

WHY DO WE STILL HAVE LIVE ANIMAL ZOOS?

     I AM RE-POSTING THIS BLOG, BECAUSE THE MORE I THINK ABOUT IT, THE MORE PASSIONATE I FEEL ABOUT THE SUBJECT. MANY PEOPLE HAVE SAID TO ME THAT CHILDREN WOULD NEVER KNOW WHAT THE EXPERIENCE OF SEEING LIVE ZOO ANIMALS I SAY BACK, "THAT WE HAVE THE TECHNOLOGY TO IMMERSE THEM IN THE ANIMALS NATURAL HABITAT, WE AS HUMANS, HAVE THE OBLIGATION TO PROTECT THEM IN THEIR NATURAL HABITAT, NOT PUT THEM IN PENS OR MAKE BELIEVE HABITATS!'
    

     I have never been a big name animal activist, but the more I think of it, why do we still have zoos? What about taking animals out of their natural habitat makes sense? We have the highest technology ever seen in the world that could allow top animal researchers to film all animals and give us a better video perspective and understanding of the animal kingdom than any zoo ever has. We can actually see things that are only described by those who visit them in their natural habitat. Call it a video zoo, or a lack of misery zoo for animals who no longer have to endure captivity, while the call of their nature and wild is calling to them.

     No, not everyone will agree with me, as I'm getting an earful as I write this from a dissenting voice. That being that, with the invention of 3d goggles that can give you the full experience of thrill rides without leaving your chair at home, why not make documentaries that will allow children and adults to be immersed in the animals habitat, their hunting, breeding, the sounds and interaction as a species without the need to rip them out of their homes? You could even capture the odor of their natural habitat and allow the smell to interact with the video. Call me what you will, but I believe this should be enough reason to no longer support live animal zoos. 

     Can you imagine the money that could be freed up to be used to hire more bush police to enforce the protection of animals from poachers? Maybe even put poachers out of business for good. No more big game hunts. Nature will take care of itself. To kill an animal for a trophy is my belief a sin. To kill for food and need is one thing. To kill just for sport so you can view your kill for the rest of your life is senseless, self indulgent and cruel. Yeah, put that big game gun in the animal's hand and you be the target would give you a whole new perspective on what all life is worth. We are the guardians and caretakers of this world and we need to be more proactive towards the animal kingdom.

     I'm a carnivore, enjoy my steaks, pork, chicken..etc. However, I don't go around killing any animal unless it for food, or a danger to those around me. Same way with people. I don't go around kidnapping them or killing them just to kill. Only if they would become a danger to me or those around me. I just think live animal zoos are archaic and out of touch with technology and the need for animals to live and die as nature intended, not zoo keepers. 

     Food for thought (that may not be a good phrase).  

     

A POSSIBLE TERRORIST PLOT IN A SANCTUARY CITY? SAY IT AIN'T SO!


   Unlike the title of this Blog appears, I find nothing funny about a possible terrorist attack or plot anywhere in America, sanctuary city or not. These are Americans, in L.A., who now have to walk on eggshells of fear because of this. It's a terrible thought that something may happen, let alone actually occurring. People being killed, maimed or inured is not acceptable on American soil, because some Muslim zealot nut decides it's his or her responsibility to kill innocents in the name of their god or religion. God, or gods take he blame for so many things that Satan influences people to commit atrocities and evil. What I would tell these people, "One day you will face God in judgment and I wouldn't want to be you."

     However, L.A. boasts itself as being a sanctuary city, so what in the world did you expect? Are we going back to the 1960's, that love will overwhelm the need for violence? Hmm? Sanctuary cities are just as bad as gun free zones. You invite violence and attack by opening the door to the bad guys. You might as well put up a giant neon sign stating for them to come on in and we accept whatever violence you want to do to our populace, because we want you here! How do liberals justify this possible terrorist plot? Like Chicago, gang violence in L.A. and the surrounding cities and counties has been a major problem for years! Seems to me it would be more likely for them to deny sanctuary city status and fight off immigration of illegals or refugees until they get their own house in order!

     It never fails to amaze me of the ignorance liberals exhibit. Where I live and grew up, if a threat enters our area and community, our para-military forces quickly extinguish the fire of criminal activity before it can gain a foothold. We are a welcoming area to those who are here legally and are a positive force in our community By 'positive force' I refer to those who work to be a law abiding citizen, or those on the path to becoming American citizens. We are by no means a sanctuary city, county or area. We are a Bible believing, church going, and community minded area of the country. However, don't take that to mean we are sheep to be slaughtered. We are a concealed carry, 2nd Amendment, and NRA supporting community who will stand our ground. Terrorism in our area will bring a swift and deadly response to those who would perpetrate violence against us. Those who would in anyway be associated with their ideology or religion would feel the heat and need to find a sanctuary city.  

     In closing, sanctuary cities need to take a hint from what L.A. is going through on 12/6/2016, and seek to repeal the thought and notion that being a 'sanctuary city' is a great idea for your citizens. Instead of trying to be so liberal, you might want to protect the rights and lives of your 'true citizens' over the overwhelming need to be politically correct!
