Reply to "Equal access to some in Austin not all"

I cannot agree more about the way our handicapped are treated. Being a disabled Vet myself I realize how hard it is to get around. Fortunately my mobility is only partially dampened and I have no need of a wheelchair or other apparatus as of yet, but I have many friends who are in them from fighting for their country. The elderly need help as well as those who have been put in that state for our freedom. If the needs of all cannot be met then fines should be incurred until they can. We all have a right to a certain quality of life, and that aspect should never be removed from those who can’t live the same way as others.

Part Time Parents

What can we say about our beloved Texas government, other than where in the world are they. Here we have a bunch of appointed officials most of which I bet 90 percent of the population of texas haven’t heard of leading the way. While the people we elected to lead are nowhere to be seen. So are we to understand that the growing entity our state has become only has to be regulated every couple of years. Why do we elect part time parents? Why aren’t those in charge at the helm to bring us safely through the day? I realize that they have lives as well but isn’t the reason they were elected to take care of the states well being. Maybe they feel that even though our school systems are failing we’ll be ok till they come back. Or is it that they consider parts of the state not having potable water just a mere sniffle? What will it take for the Texas government to step up a bit in the few years they’re off and solve a few things before they go back on vacation?
Maybe I lean on our representative and senators a bit hard. We as a people should realize by now that we couldn’t get together long enough to say hi none-the-less vote for an amendment. Our parents need all of the children to stand up and speak in order for the voice to be heard saying that change is needed. We all speak softly and tread lightly which parents in the real world wished were true of every child at one point or another. So lets take off the slippers and put on the boots, because if they ignore the voice they can never ignore the tantrums and stomping fits. It would only be a matter of time before the childless vacation would be over and they would return. Yes they may be cranky about it, but hey if they want the job they’ll just have to grin and bear it. So everyone stand up, jump around, and scream for those we chose to be our fathers and mothers to come home and tidy up the place again. This place needs all the TLC it can get.

Punishment that teaches a lesson

Ok here is another ramble about children for those who are interested. Yes, I know it’s a reoccurring topic in my blog, but cut me some slack it repeats in the news as well. There are a lot of people who believe that the old quote “spare the rod, spoil the child” is barbaric and outdated. Let me explain something to these people. When a child fears the repercussion of their actions there is a probable chance they won’t repeat that action, or concoct a sneakier way of performing such. Either way there is a penalty tagged onto that action for life. Telling a child no does not work no matter how calmly or nice you state it. This passive aggressive approach teaches a child no more than that they can get away with anything, because all they’ll get is a stern word.
Now with that said let me refer to the bastards who take corporal punishment to far. We are adults, and with age should follow reason. Unfortunately, that is becoming alarmingly untrue. The parents in this “Baby Grace” murder, and yes I use the word murder because that’s exactly what it was, should have the same punishment pushed upon them. I mean you figure we teach our children with reprimand and punishment, shouldn’t adults learn from the same way. This court system of ours is completely prone towards retribution, but damnit to be a child to death because she’s 2 and doesn’t speak properly deserves an equal and opposite reaction. It’s one thing to be upset with a parent because they spank the brat who’s screaming around a store, but you’ll just have to get over it people. For generations Christians preach that coporal punishment is needed, and now they cringe the second you enforce that. Yet, I believe even they would agree with me that for once the pay back from the state should send a message. Kill our future and we’ll make your worst fears and pains come true.
Personally I’m all for the passage of justice when its needed, but here we have people who are confessed killers of their own child. To many children have died from negligent, abusive parents and its time to teach those who would kill in the future that it won’t be stood for. Come on Texas beat them, put them in a plastic box, and drown the parents in the ocean. Then for good measure rescue them so you can repeat the same abuse every year for the rest of their sorry lives.
