It's been too long since we had a nerdy (pseudo) science post here so, I found a good topic in that vein and ran with it...
Things like the time it takes for the Enterprise to warp to one star or another are just scientific plot McGuffins in the Star Trek franchise. They are whatever the writers say they are in the script. However, we can sometimes quantify the actual power/abilities of the fantastic tech seen in the shows and movies.
While reading through the tech manual for Star Trek: The Next Generation, I saw in the chapter on the Enterprise-D's weapons systems that each torpedo has 1.5 kilograms of anti-matter inside. The anti-matter here is anti-deuterium, the anti-matter equivalent to deuterium, a real-life isotope of Hydrogen. The ratio of reactant in the torpedo will be the same as any anti-matter reactor in Star Trek's universe: 1:1.
Thanks to a gentleman named Edward Muller and his web page with an anti-matter calculator we can actually determine how much explosive yield that 1.5 kilograms of anti-matter will actually produce. According to the page, 1.5 kilograms will yield an explosive force of 64.44 megatons of TNT. The most powerful nuclear weapon ever exploded on Earth, the Soviet Union's 'Tsar Bomba', had an explosive yield of 50 megatons.
Soviet scientists could have made it have a yield of 100 megatons but, they were afraid of what that would do to the planet. That's not an unrealistic concern. According o the Anti-Matter calculator page, the third 1883 eruption of the Krakatoa volcano released an amount of energy equivalent to 150 megatons. Also according to that page, Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast with the force of a 300 megaton explosion. Rather impressive and frightening to think about, heh?
So, if you get into a pointless nerd debate about fictional weapons from a science fiction franchise, you might have some actual facts to work with for once. That is, unless a future film or episode changes things. And the tech manual's authors did say that the book wasn't canon and shouldn't restrict a writer's creativity...
Furthermore, it's currently impossible for me to even guess at the power of a Quantum Torpedo. The DS9 tech manual lists the explosive yield of the regular photon torpedo with a fictional number, 18.5 isotons. It then goes on to say that the theoretical limits of traditional photon torpedo technology, 25 isotons, was reached and that the Quantum torpedo was developed to exceed those limitations. Then, a few episodes of Star Trek: Voyager ret-conned that with onscreen dialogue about various torpedoes. You can read about those changes on this page from Memory Alpha that talks about fictional units of measurement like Isotons.
Simply put, the torpedoes are as powerful as the writer wants them to be... Even if that creates contradictions and conflicts...

Concerning the dishonest nature of the Press...
There's been a lot of talk about lying media outlets, 'Fake News' and flat-out shameful exaggerations on the part of the Press as of late.
The Leftists that have poisoned the Democratic Party seem to be upset that anyone would accuse the Media of lying and practicing Yellow Journalism.
Why? You know as well as I do that it happened before. William Randolph Hearst did it with his newspapers, convincing the American people to go to war with Spain in the 1890's. And in this time period, they were even more shameless. The Press spent 8 years practically fellating Barack Obama and then tried to gaslight everyone into electing Hitlary. There's no reason why anyone should trust them anymore.
Even earlier today, one of my local news outlets, WDSU-TV, published a story with a misleading headline. I called them out on it too. When published to social media, the headline would read as 'Trump may use up to 100,000 National Guard troops to round up illegal immigrants'. When you followed the link, the title would change to ''Not true': Spicer, National Guard deny report that says illegal immigrants will be rounded up by troops'. The story's actual headline has since been changed to more accurately reflect the story's actual content. The current headline reads: AP: Trump admin considered proposal that would use National Guard to round up illegal immigrants.
And that is still not accurate. The Administration has even come out and said that idea was not being considered. How could they? You cannot use the military to deal with a law enforcement task on American soil. That violates a Federal law known as the Posse Comitatus Act, which was signed into law by President Hayes in 1878. Any Middle-school child taking a Civics class knows about that law. And yet, the Media insists on pushing these lies and their non-sensical agenda on us. Do they really think that we are all stupid enough to fall for this non-sense? I know Democrats are buying it hook, line and sinker but, the rest of us aren't.
Screw them all. Let the current news media outlets die. And then, replace them with new entities that are actual Journalists instead of Propagandists that would make Herr Goebbels proud. These bastards have been a willing participant in a Radical Leftist agenda to essentially destroy the America we all know and love and turn us into limp-wristed Europeans. Specifically, like the ones who worship the dysfunctional wannabe 'Super State' that is the European Union.
No dice, you Commie Cucks. I'm not interested in handing my balls over to some government bureaucrat. I'm also not at all interested in emulating Europe since that continent is currently falling apart at the seems. Besides, if Europe was so great, my ancestors wouldn't have left there, came here and then became American citizens.
You wanna be a Commie Cuck like the Europeans, move to Europe. Leave my proud and successful civilization alone.
-Publius
ADDENDUM:
It has been pointed out to me that the Feds have indeed federalized a few troops for domestic issues and several examples were cited. I should have figured someone would mention a few of them so, I'll put them in proper context now...
The Kent State shootings
Ohio's governor sent the National Guard to Kent State at the request of the University's faculty. A few soldiers panicked and it got ugly.
Hurricane Katrina
Louisiana's governor eventually called the National Guard in after President Bush begged her to do so for several days. The Federal response was actually delayed because Governor Blanco didn't ask for Federal help for at least 3 days after the storm.
The L.A. Riots following the acquittal of the police officers who beat Rodney King
Bush the Elder authorized military units to help CA National Guard units in the L.A. Riots under the Insurrection Act of 1807. However, it wasn't used because the authorization came after the rioting had slowed and control was re-established.
Again, I doubt that the current administration would try to use the military for a domestic policy issue. None of them would. That is indeed political poison. A riot or rebellion would be the only exception. Fortunately, this rarely happens.
Also, for those who falsely think I've become a Conservative/Republican/Right-winger...
1.) You're wrong. I'm still the unaffiliated Independent that I have always been. I can't be anything else.
2.) I'm harsh to the Democratic party because they are due for a few harsh rebukes. When they had power, they just did what they wanted and ignored the real problems so many Americans faced. Then, they had the nerve to lie to us and tell us things were getting better when they weren't. I'm tired of suffering for the sins of a bunch of politicians. If there's some way I can spite them for their sins, I will.

More Leftist Insanity, mostly from Hollyweird...
It's not just the autistic screeching from the Left these days that makes me laugh, it's also their complete lack of any sense of objective reality.
We shall start with a news article that I found on January 31st... And I really hope that this one isn't fake for once...
"Rosie O’Donnell, Amy Schumer, Miley Cyrus and George Clooney are part of a group of celebrities calling for a total Hollywood strike “until Trump resigns”.
SOURCE: http://dailyeb.com/index.php/2017/01/28/celebrities-call-total-hollywood-strike-trump-resigns/
A group of liberal Hollywood celebrities are threatening a “massive, all-round Hollywood strike” unless Donald Trump resigns. Describing Hollywood as “the base of the entire modern American culture“, the group also claims to be speaking on behalf of “all of humanity.”"
These people are completely delusional. Also, you idjits deciding to strike doesn't bother me in the slightest. I don't follow your work, anyway.
"Asked to elaborate on why the group is targeting Hollywood out of all the industries in the country as their bargaining chip, the spokesperson argued that Hollywood “is, simply put, the base of the entire modern American culture. It is the foundation of the country, so to speak, the glue that’s holding it together. And think about what happens when you destroy the foundation of a house. It comes crashing down, right? Well, that’s exactly what’s going to happen to America unless Donald Trump realizes how real the danger of that actually is, and chooses to step down as President of his own free will. And while we’re on the subject, between you and me – nobody wants Hollywood to stop doing its thing, but this is a necessary move.”"
My God, these people are completely insane... Hollywood is a large part of America's ENTERTAINMENT, not the culture. The culture is based on an idea. Namely, the idea of having the freedom to live as you wish and pursue your own ambitions. Every other culture on Earth may be heavily influenced by their art forms but, not this country. We are unique in that way. You would know that if you ever paid attention in your social studies classes as a child.
Also, I don't need you to entertain me. I already have several huge media collections.
Here's 2 old photos of the Home Video collection. The size of this collection hasn't grown very much since the photos were taken...
Here's the Recorded Music...
And you can see my Game Room of DOOM in this video here.
I have media that I've yet to open, despite having them for years. I don't need anything new for quite a long while. You Hollywood Libtards going on strike won't affect me in the slightest.
================
Second, we have a rather retarded little meme that I saw on Facebook recently...
So, why is this meme retarded? Because it shows rather clearly that its creator does not understand the real world at all. That, or he's trying to push an agenda that makes no sense. Terrorism is not always motivated by religion but, it is most of the time. This stupid meme also shows that its creator doesn't have a very long memory. Otherwise, he might remember an actual terrorist attack motivated by religion that happened over 15 years ago in New York, Washington D.C. and rural Pennsylvania. And for those of you who don't remember (or weren't alive at the time), allow me to give you a little visual reminder....
And yes, this did happen because of a few guys who prayed in a mosque. It's why we're fighting a global war on terror. It's why Islam has become so deeply unpopular in America. It's also why I become so disgusted when some fucking Democrat tries to spoonfeed me so much BULLSHIT about how Islam is some kind of 'Religion of Peace.' They are NOT peaceful. They have never been peaceful. They have always tried to spread their backward little death cult by the sword. Their idea of 'peace' in the world is a world where there's no other culture but Islam. Everyone else seems to understand this without any real difficulty. Why don't Democrats? Why else? Because they have no sense of objective reality.
And since I can't get enough of making fun of Hollyweird...
So, you think the military is going to help you overthrow a democratically elected official? You do realize that you live in the United States of America, right? That kind of shit might fly in Latin America but, not here. It's like they don't realize that they are only pushing more and more people over to Trump's side. Dumbasses... You want to guarantee that this ego-maniacal real estate tycoon gets re-elected? Because that's how you get that ego-maniacal real estate tycoon re-elected.
And what's the military's response to these insane ramblings from a lunatic mind?
There are some out there that are genuinely worried that this will lead to a civil war. I'm not worried and none of you should be, either. I already know what will happen. The Communist Lefties & their Hollywood ass-puppets here will come charging over the hill waving bongs & dildoes as their weapons, thinking that will scare the straight white males. All of us good patriots will be our usual well-trained/well-armed selves, waiting patiently for them. We patriots will make the green grass grow. We will then take California back from the Communists that have poisoned the Left and make that state great again. So, bring it, Cucks. PLEASE decide to play that stupid game so I can reward you with stupid prizes. I think the looks on your faces when you know you're about to be exterminated with extreme prejudice will be hilariously priceless.
And speaking of pushing people over to the other side...
Acting violent only pushes people away from your cause. In the case of all these little SJW bastards, their Hollyweird masters, their puppet master George Soros and their autistic screeching, that is a VERY good thing...
And for those who are wondering what happened to the so-called 'birthplace of Free Speech' that was UC Berkeley, the answer is that nothing happened at all. This is exactly the kind of crap that radical Leftists do. Also, the real birthplace of Free Speech is the 1st Amendment, not a bunch of jackasses on some college campus.
And one more about this riot at Berkeley from some Hollywood Director...
Better yet guy, when will you realize that acting like spoiled children is only going to help Trump in the long run? You are all giving him exactly the excuse he needs to crack down on you and everyday citizens will applaud him for it too. If you need to use violence to perpetuate your ideas then, your ideas are WORTHLESS. I am so tired of having to explain this to people, especially since it should be so incredibly obvious.

Decisions made by President Trump that I find questionable...
This one is going to be short and sweet. It will also be decisively inoffensive. I'm not interested in being nasty to people anymore.
That being said, the last few posts in this blog have been rather pro-Trump in their tone. So, to balance things out, we need a post that's not pro-Trump or necessarily anti-Trump. There are 3 issues (so far) that leave me feeling puzzled about his motives and actions. They are as follows:
1.) Paying for the Mexican Border Wall
That tariff will just increase costs for Americans buying goods from Mexico. Essentially, it makes Americans pay for it instead of the Mexican govrnment. I figured something like that was going to happen when he first started talking about this wall during the election.
Whatever does happen, we definitely need to strengthen the security on that border. This issue is not going to have an easy solution (and not many really do) but, I'm sure the kinks can be worked out. He has started the process by tripling the number of Border Patrol agents. He has also seemed receptive to doing something else besides imposing a tariff after business interests and private citizens alike expressed their disapproval of the idea. It's refreshing to have an elected official that actually listens to his constituents.
2.) The Federal hiring freeze
The Federal government often has a lot of positions it can't fill easily, if at all. This temporary hiring freeze makes it that much more difficult to get those positions filled. After all, the VA definitely needs more doctors and nurses. That is especially true for the new VA hospital that's opening here in New Orleans pretty soon.
I do understand why he wanted to institute this hiring freeze. It's part of his efforts to 'drain the swamp' and cut down on government bureaucracy. However, that also limits my options in finding a new career to replace being an Insurance Adjuster. I probably wouldn't want to work for the Federal government again but, it was still nice to have the option... I guess...
Actually, no. It's not really that much of a concern. Working for Uncle Sam was bad enough the first time around when I was in the Army. I'm not going to make the same mistake twice.
3.) Forbidding Government Scientists from releasing their findings to the public
Why on Earth is he (supposedly) forbidding scientists from releasing their research data to the public? The public does pay for that research through tax dollars...
Is this an effort to ensure that incomplete data doesn't get released and end up misleading the public? Is this because of how he and most other Republicans consider global warming to be a scam? Or, maybe it's just as simple as the Trump administration reordering things they want them to be, just like all administrations do. That would be the most logical conclusion.
Of course, government scientists decided to release the data anyway out of spite through social media. Looks like they bought into the non-sensical left-wing media narrative about President Trump being the 'Cheeto Hitler'... And here I am, just sitting here thinking 'is this little pissing match really necessary?'
I'm not even sure how much Federal government science is actually being withheld from the public. NASA is still putting out stuff on their website. Something tells me that this is just another of those ways that the Media is desperately trying to besmirch the man's reputation. It's getting about as pathetic as it is desperate.

If anything else catches my attention, I'll be sure to post about that too.

About Barron Trump...
Just when I thought Radical Leftists couldn't get any lower, they decide to pick on an innocent child via Twitter, one of their little social media echo-chambers.
First, we have that disgusting old hag Rosie O'Donnell continuing her longstanding rivalry with Donald by claiming his son might be autistic...
With the wording of this tweet, it's easy to assume that she might have actually meant well. However, I'm not fooled for 2 reasons. First, I am well aware of the long-standing feud between this Hollywood actress and the new President. Second, ANYONE with even a modicum of good sense would know better than to make these thoughts so public. If she actually is concerned about the boy, why didn't she try to approach the new President's family through a private channel? If that ass-clown Kanye West can get an audience with Donald Trump then, just about anyone should have been able to speak with him!
And of course, people called her out on that bad move...
At first, Rosie O'Donnell tried to defend these comments but, that quickly stopped when Melania Trump threatened to sue people making that false allegation for defamation of character. After that, Rosie quickly retracted everything, apologized and skulked away like a scolded dog. That's probably the smartest thing that Rosie has ever done in her public life.
That should be where this ends but, of course it's not. Democrats these days will do anything to try to defame people they don't like. That's what happens when the party has been taken over by the kind of Saul Alinsky-reading radical leftist dumbasses that Vladimir Lenin happily called 'useful idiots'.
On Inauguration Day, a now-suspended SNL writer decided to say something stupid on her Twitter feed...

| I'm surprised she didn't have the guts to try and compare Barron to Adam Lanza... |
...and quickly got rid of it too. However, someone had got a screenshot of it first and made it go viral online. Before the end of the day, this chick had been publicly defamed. She was suspended from her job within the next 72 hours. As of this day, 24 Jan 2017, NBC still won't comment on if they plan to fire her. I don't see a positive outcome for her in that department.
And if you think accusing this innocent child of being autistic or a school shooter wasn't bad enough, it can still get even worse. Some other unemployable-lookin' shitbag/self-proclaimed comedian named Stephen Spinola decided to kick it up another notch and make it sexual... I really wish that I was sensationalizing things but, I'm not...
You disgusting Mother Fucker. I sincerely hope your mother slaps the shit out of you for this kind of talk. She ought to disown you too.
I know that comedians often push the boundaries of good taste because shock value often leads to riotous laughter. I use that routinely in my rather dark/sardonic humor every day, along with heavy doses of sarcasm and cynicism. Someone has to since George Carlin is no longer with us. However, I don't ever make fun of kids in this kind of way. Kids should not be involved in any kind of adult situation. It's not funny. Jokes about rape and bad things happening to kids are NEVER funny. Kiss your career goodbye, Cocksucker.
The moral outrage over this isn't the only reason why I got pissed, either. Picking on a defenseless child certainly is bad enough but, this one is also quite personal to me. As an Aspie, I am on the higher-functioning end of that Autism Spectrum the shrinks developed. There were also a lot of ignorant teenagers jumping to illogical conclusions and assuming I'd be the next school shooter after the Columbine Incident. So, I have a pretty good idea of what Barron and his parents might be feeling about all of this mess.
Attacking an elected official is fine. That's called 'pillory' and it's something that comes with the job. Attacking some politician's family is just disgraceful, unless those family members get involved in politics for themselves. That's the reason why Hitlary Clinton and Michelle Obama were both frequently criticized and lampooned. They entered the political arena in some way and became legitimate targets for public scrutiny and criticism. Going after Donald Trump's son is just as despicable as you Democrats not caring about Obummer's many drone strikes causing so much collateral damage. That collateral damage often included many innocent children being orphaned, hurt or killed. And the ones who survived usually grow up angry enough to join the terror groups we're trying to destroy. You people have no conscience and probably no soul, either. You disgust me.
Before I end this piece, I would like my audience to take a look at two more photos. First, a picture of young Barron as he is today...
And then, a family photo that People magazine took in 2006, shortly after he was born...
Does it look like there's anything unusual about him in the first picture? He's not showing any of the signs of a person on the Autism Spectrum there. (Blank expression, awkward mannerisms, et al.) He just looks like he's tired and bored. That's what you'd expect from a child having to stay up late at night at some political rally.
In the second photo, do you see anything wrong with the looks on his parent's faces? It's impossible to tell if a newborn is autistic or not. The signs don't start to show until about age 3. However, parents can still feel something being wrong with their child. It's one of those intrinsic things that all parents understand and science can't explain but, it's real. And if they did sense something wrong, you'd be able to see it on their faces. I've seen the look many times in my 35 years on this Earth. Other than being a bit stoic for the camera, I see nothing but love and pride in their eyes.
If I've said it once, I've said it a million times now. I just cannot believe that the Democrats have sunk to this kind of low. Even Chelsea Clinton said it was going to far in some of her recent comments to the News Media on this subject.
However, like I have also said a million times before, there's actually some good to these people saying such disgusting things. By misusing their right to Free Speech, they are showing everyone exactly what kind of detestable pieces of hot, stinking garbage that they really are inside. Armed with that knowledge, it should not be difficult at all for the American public to discern that they should not be associating themselves with any of them.
Over the years, I have done my best to try to help Democrats return their party to sanity and bring them back from the extreme. I've engaged them, befriended many of them and did my best to explain how their party has gone off the rails and needs to be put back on track. I did this because there needs to be a 'balance in the Force', so to speak. We can't have just one group of people running things. That turns a free society into an oligarchy like present-day Russia.
However, I'm not going to bother with that anymore. It's now obvious to me that it's too late. They're too sick to be cured. There's only two things that can be done now:
1.) Promote worthy 3rd party alternatives to forever destroy the false dichotomy of having to choose between Democrats and Republicans. The Libertarians have shown enough promise to get me to vote for them across the board in the 2016 election. I'm hearing nice things about another group called the Constitution Party as well. I will be investigating them further.
2.) Destroy the Democratic Party altogether and create a new party in its place. Hopefully, this new party will both understand and embrace Classical Liberalism.

How to contact your elected officials
If you have any kind of social media account, you've no doubt seen a lot of political shit-posting these last few days because of President Trump's inauguration and the sea change in Washington.
I've engaged in a lot of that shit-posting myself, just for shits and giggles. However, sometimes I feel compelled to actually contact my elected officials. Here's how you go about that process for the Federal level. I won't list state and local levels because that would fill a small book.
Contact Info for Congress
Senate:

Senate Telephone Switchboard: 202-224-3121
House of Representatives:

And that is how you contact your elected officials and let them know what you think/feel/want them to do about various issues. Please be sure to be polite and respectful to them, especially if you didn't vote for them. Remember, we are all Humans and we all have our own perspective. None of us are 100% right or wrong all of the time or anything resembling perfect. Leadership is never easy, especially when you're part of the leadership for the reigning global Super Power and answer to a population of over 308 Million souls.

Time for a little shit-posting...
Okay, let's see who I can piss off in this first post of the new year...
Democrats...
Trump is going to be sworn-in to the worst job on Earth this Friday and the Dems are still unbelievably butt-hurt at him winning the election. Looks like they're going to do the same stupid shit they did 16 years ago when George Bush beat Al Gore.
I could go on and on at great length about how that won't work and how they're shooting themselves in the foot but, I'm not going to bother. They have done far too good of a job soundproofing their echo-chambers. So instead, all I'll say is...
Cyberstalkers with unrequited homosexual crushes...
That shitbag faggot that tried to cyberstalk me/try to get me kicked off Facebook decided to create his own blog talking all kinds of shit. As one might expect, it's a giant mess of poor formatting and bad grammar. It's also really sad that this guy thinks I'm so important. So someone who was in your Basic Training unit decides he doesn't like the Army and gets out... So what? Is it really so important to you that everyone else has the same opinion as you? (BTW Uncle Sam, feel free to kiss my DD-214.)
It seems he got pretty scared when I threatened to go to his Chain of Command to report his cyberstalking too. Turns out he was being medically discharged from a toxic unit in Korea and, he claims, that this was affecting his brain and making him do stupid shit. I think those mental issues (which he freely admits really do exist) is the real reason why that unit decided to chapter him. Me threatening to go to his chain of command apparently added to his stress level. Forgive me for not feeling all too bad about that...
If you want a great laugh, check out his blog... assuming you can understand it with all of its poor formatting and grammar. I could make an entire post about how wrong he is (and strongly considered doing so) but, it's not worth my time. It's pretty damned obvious that he's delusional and insane. Picking on a mentally ill person is not cool, even if he did cause me a considerable amount of aggravation. However, that won't stop me from saying 4 things to him right now...
1.) Just because you're out of the Army doesn't mean your safe, guy. All that means is that I go to Federal law enforcement instead of JAG, Army CID or some unit's chain of command/concern. Your best bet is to never darken my proverbial or literal doorway ever again, dude. There will be no other warnings.
2.) As for your gayness... Well, I really don't know what you dream about fucking and I don't want to know. It was all of my friends observing your behavior on Facebook that thought you were gay. I didn't want to even speculate on the matter. However, after reading through your blog, I'm now convinced that you are probably a closet case who's really upset about getting rejected. I'm sure that really sucks for you...

3.) As hilariously retarded as your posts are, there's something I saw in one of those posts that is not funny... "The Army already has given me a suicidal problem as it is, and I'm not going to let this shitbag do the same to me."
I don't want you to kill yourself. I just want you to go away for good. Like I said earlier, NEVER darken my proverbial or literal doorway ever again.
4.) Criticizing my music page on Facebook, heh? Still upset that I kicked you off of it, Fagmeux? What did you expect? You were supposed to help make it much easier for me to run and you didn't. I told you NOT to post a lot of stupid shit that made the page look pro-drug use and you still did. (Remember all the pics of pot leaves and Yoda being photoshopped to look like he was smoking dope?) Also, I was going to change the format anyway. For a while, I was planning to make Punk have a larger role in the rotation and you were going to make that happen since you're knowledgeable in that area. After looking at the crap that you did post, it became abundantly obvious that Punk was total garbage. (Outside of the few bands that I already discovered decades ago in my youth, anyway...) So, that shit was already on its way out along with you and your fuckery.
And as for you saying there isn't enough variety... Well, here's what was posted today, 16 Jan 2017...
- Epica
- Nightwish
- Led Zeppelin
- Crowbar covering Led Zeppelin
- Stone Sour covering Alice in Chains, KISS, MetallicA, Black Sabbath and Judas Priest in the same video
- 2 videos from Slayer
- A Full Album video of the Beavis and Butt-Head Experience
- Whitesnake
- Monster Magnet
- 2 videos and one link related to Lita Ford
- A local NOLA band called CAIN Resurrection
- PanterA
- Foreigner

Stupid/Arrogant Celebrities...
The Leftists that make up Hollyweird's 'talent pool' are really starting to piss me off. You all may have a right to express your opinions but, not a right to try to cram that opinion down my throat. From now on, when one of you acts like a fucking retard, I'm cutting you off. I will not watch your movies and TV shows. I will not buy your records. I won't read your books. The list is already getting pretty damned long too.
All of that will actually be pretty damned easy to do too since...
A.) I don't go to the movies often anymore. (The only 2 films I saw in 2016 were the new Star Trek and Star Wars movies)
B.) I don't have cable and watch only a select few programs on Netflix.
C.) I have enough movies and TV shows on one home video format or another sitting in my living room to provide a decade's worth of entertainment. That's assuming I watch 3-4 hours of TV every night until I run out of VHS tapes, DVD's and Blu-Ray discs that haven't been watched at least once. Gotta love those box sets filled with film sagas and whole seasons of TV shows...
D.) Most music albums these days are also pure garbage. (Does ANYONE in the recording industry remember things like melody, harmony and rhythm?)
E.) I haven't bought a new book in years, mostly because I have such a huge backlog that getting new ones is completely unnecessary.
Simply put, you assholes depend on me to make your lifestyle possible. So, dispense with the talking down to the 'little people' that you think are all ignorant, hateful inbred rednecks just because Hitlary didn't win the election. She would have been the worst possible choice imaginable. That's how a seemingly ego-maniacal real estate billionaire managed to beat her. As many negative qualities as Donald Trump does have, he's not a crooked career politician promising 4 more years of Obummer-style misery. Wanting to start a war with Russia, rigging the Democratic primaries, being investigated by the FBI and routinely violating national security certainly didn't help her chances, either.
So, again...
