"I've never belonged to any group that didn't have at least one member who wasn't a total dick." - Rock Cowles (Hey! Wait a minute!)
""I don't believe" is a statement for me, not a stand. Ignosticism reminds me how much I don't know. It doesn't mean I can't shred specific religions fairly handily. I've just matured to the point that I don't feel the need to. Nothing left to prove or disprove." - Rock Cowles
"Religion is a universal security blanket for a lot of people, especially children. It gives them a sense of security, albeit, I am relatively certain, a false one. It can cost them their freedom, self-respect, sanity, and individuality. Teach children to respect life, themselves, and others; to be self-reliant, to use their intelligence to draw their own conclusions, to plan for the future, but to live in today." - Rock Cowles

"Dear Single Internet Women, you DO NOT have an "average build" if your birthday suit looks like a snowmobile suit!" - Rock Cowles

"The best smiles come easily and often and don't include drool unless there is a tail wagging behind them." - Rock Cowles

""Pre-owned" is the equivalent of "former virgin beauty queen". "New" and "once new" are far from synonymous. Ask any gynecologist." - Rock Cowles
"I have faith in the law of averages. Every day that I can remember, I awoke. I have little reason to believe that today will be different, but as each day passes, the odds increase that it will not happen this day. I can cling to that faith as much as my little heart desires, but eventually, it will bite me in the ass, and bite hard." - Rock Cowles
"If you don't keep your pants on, who will?" - Rock Cowles

"Without liberty, there is no opportunity for equality." - Rock Cowles
""Sin" is an archery term meaning "to miss the mark". If we are born sinners, and God created us that way, didn't He miss the mark and therefore sin?" - Rock Cowles
"There is more evidence to support the possibility that there could be a crack smoking Velociraptor in a pink tutu playing the ukelele in my kitchen than there is that there is a god. Personally, I think the Velociraptor would be the less ridiculous of the two." - Rock Cowles
"Getting proper change back at McDonalds: It's not rocket science, but it might as well be." - Rock Cowles
"How can I tell if someone is pretty on the inside without looking in all of her orifices?" - Rock Cowles
"Facebook: more verbicidal maniacs than you can shake a faggot at." - Rock Cowles

"Happiness in relationships is often a balancing act. You can't always just go after eye candy, follow your pants, or get tugged everywhere by your heartstrings. Sometimes its hard remembering that you are complete all by yourself. Relationships are enhancements. They make you more of who you are, so you want to take the time to find the people who bring out the good in you. Don't quit, just take your time, be patient, be good to and trust yourself." - Rock Cowles
"Welfare sucks, literally." - Rock Cowles
"For some men honor is more than a word, more than a way of life, it is more important than life. The ones who are truly honorable are always honorable. They are not volatile. They make the best friends and the worst enemies for they know that once lost, honor, like virginity, can never be regained." - Rock Cowles
"Being happy with your obesity is about as intelligent as being happy with your seat on the railroad tracks. It might work for a brief while, but it's not recommended." - Rock Cowles
"I think Liberals may tend to be more people-oriented, whereas Conservatives are more task oriented. It makes Liberals look softheaded to Conservatives and Conservatives hardhearted to Liberals. I'm a Libertarian for the most part. I guess we're just assholes. Practical, critical thinking assholes who ask evil selfish questions like "Why are we being punished for something someone else did or might possibly do?", "Who is supposed to pay for this?" and "What about my children and their future?"" - Rock Cowles

"Do Mega-Churches have Mega-Pastors?" - Rock Cowles
"I've been a Mensan over twenty years, yet I don't, as a rule, go through my day thinking I am smarter than the majority of people I come in contact with. As a matter of fact, I tend to be amazed by the depths of human stupidity on a near daily basis, including, sometimes, my own." - Rock Cowles
"I prefer "open minds" over "like minds". Its part of that whole "think for yourself" thingy that I try to subscribe to." - Rock Cowles
"Money may talk, but Debt screams like a horde of syphilitic banshees!" - Rock Cowles

I know the rules and have a clear conscience. I'm an atheist." - Rock Cowles

"There are two things in life more important than a good education; Health and Integrity, neither of which can easily be replaced." - Rock Cowles
"Sometimes sad just is." - Rock Cowles

"A real education is not just eclectic, it defines it." - Rock Cowles
"Someone once busted on me for liking one of my own posts. Why the hell would I have posted it in the first place if I didn't like it? Its like giving a writer shit, instead of credit, for quoting themselves. Everyone quotes themselves. Writers are just a bit more formal and hopefully articulate about it. Its how they make a living. Artists sign their work. Its how they get known and how they get paid. Give credit where credit is due. Respect copyrights." - Rock Cowles
"I'm a libertarian, not a liberal. That makes me pro get the fuck out of my face, not pro poor baby." - Rock Cowles
"Live wrong and posture." - Rock Cowles
"An atheist is merely someone who doesn't believe in god/s. Atheism matters to me because I see what religion does to people, individually and collectively. I'm horrified and appalled by what people and societies do in the name of their god/s or religion. I want to do my part to stop it. I'm not out to deconvert anyone. I want them to start thinking boldly, to question everything, to learn to recognize truth, and deconvert themselves." - Rock Cowles
"Character matters most. It will outlast physical beauty, athleticism, intelligence, and since you can't take it with you, prosperity." - Rock Cowles
" If women were created from ribs then why do they taste like fish?" - Rock Cowles
"You'll make more friends with a blunt rock than with a kind word. Or not." - Rock Cowles

My Viewpoint On Bernie Sanders On The Issues
I think Bernie Sanders supporters are especially vehement about their candidate. I went to his website and the page on the issues and addressed each of them briefly. I do not claim to have all of the answers or think that the Libertarian (Classic Liberal) mindset is flawless. I welcome open, lively discussion (not debate which assumes being right. I don't do pissing contests.) I do believe in minimizing the government (and its intrusion into personal life) and maximizing personal freedom and responsibility. I recommend reading "Don't Hurt People And Don't Take Their Stuff" by Matt Kibbe for a better understanding of Libertarianism. It's our country and the problems it has won't go away until we wake up, face reality, and do the work together.
Here are my comments on Bernie's Issues. (The red comments are mine)
BERNIE SANDERS
On the Issues
The American people must make a fundamental decision. Do we continue the 40-year decline of our middle class and the growing gap between the very rich and everyone else, or do we fight for a progressive economic agenda that creates jobs, raises wages, protects the environment and provides health care for all? Are we prepared to take on the enormous economic and political power of the billionaire class, or do we continue to slide into economic and political oligarchy? These are the most important questions of our time, and how we answer them will determine the future of our country. - See United States Constitution.
INCOME AND WEALTH INEQUALITY - See "Free Market" and MAKING THE WEALTHY, WALL STREET, AND LARGE CORPORATIONS PAY THEIR FAIR SHARE
IT'S TIME TO MAKE COLLEGE TUITION FREE AND DEBT FREE - Many college graduates cannot find jobs now. If you make college free it will lose much of its perceived value.
GETTING BIG MONEY OUT OF POLITICS AND RESTORING DEMOCRACY - One issue, one bill. Make all bills clear, transparent, and pork free.
CREATING DECENT PAYING JOBS - Most people get the jobs they deserve. The world doesn't owe you a living. That is life for adults. it takes occasional sacrifices and compromises, not handouts. Who do you think will create these good jobs? The government or the evil free market?
A LIVING WAGE - Don't procreate before you can provide. That is on you, not the taxpayers. Work smart, learn a trade, move up through the ranks. Once again, adulthood. Quit feeling entitled, even our poorest citizens live better than 75% of the world.
COMBATING CLIMATE CHANGE TO SAVE THE PLANET - Scientific fact. So what is the plan? carpooling laws and public transportation won't fix it. Once again it falls on the free market to create cleaner running vehicles and factories.
A FAIR AND HUMANE IMMIGRATION POLICY - The world is overpopulated. Many immigrants no longer want to assimilate and become Americans. Who do we allow in? The best of the best, further impoverishing their native countries, or those who cannot speak or read english and are in most case destined to manual labor or crime? Illegals are invaders. Most of their money is sent back to their native land.
RACIAL JUSTICE - Read Black Rednecks and White Liberals by Thomas Sowell. Quit playing the race card everytime you don't get your way and there will be a lot less racism.
FIGHTING FOR WOMEN'S RIGHTS - Fight for human rights, not special treatment.
FIGHTING FOR LGBT EQUALITY - Fight for human rights, not special treatment.
CARING FOR OUR VETERANS - Our veterans deserve a place at the head of the line for medical and social services. All gave some, some gave all. Give them all VA benefits that they can take to a doctor of their choice.
MEDICARE FOR ALL - Who is going to pay for that and how? We have a shortage of doctors now because of excessive government regulations and forcing them to take losses on many procedures.
FIGHTING FOR DISABILITY RIGHTS - Be more specific. Are we talking about jobs you are not fit to perform? Fight for human rights, not special treatment.
STRENGTHEN AND EXPAND SOCIAL SECURITY - It cannot survive even as it is. It needs to be privatized, so the government can't use to to borrow from Peter to pay Paul.
FIGHTING TO LOWER PRESCRIPTION DRUG PRICES - Drug companies motivation is profit. Drug testing, especially with the FDA, costs millions of dollars, even on failed attempts. Prevent monopolies with an open free market and competition will drive the quality up and prices down, like street marijuana.
SUPPORTING HISTORICALLY BLACK COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES - Support segregation? Support your own cultural history if you wish. It is not the government's job.
IMPROVING THE RURAL ECONOMY - Not the government's job.
REFORMING WALL STREET - Not the government's job.
REAL FAMILY VALUES - Not the government's job.
WAR AND PEACE - Abide by the Constitution that you took an oath to defend. Pull our troops from all foreign countries. Quit sending money and weapons overseas. It's unconstitutional.
MAKING THE WEALTHY, WALL STREET, AND LARGE CORPORATIONS PAY THEIR FAIR SHARE - Class warfare is a poisonous myth. Study history. We are not guaranteed anything. the right to become wealthy is inherent to the right to own property. If you choose to leave your wealth to your lazy children or "blow it" living high, it is still your right. Looking at history, those who became rich built America, though inventions, production, jobs created, railroads, etc. You don't get paid to show up. What skills would you bring to the table in a post-Apocalyptic society? Are your potential contributions valuable? Yes, loopholes should be eliminated, but you don't punish the successful just for getting ahead.
HOW BERNIE PAYS FOR HIS PROPOSALS - He can't. His campaign promises would cost more than the current national debt to keep.
We all have to be aware of cognitive dissonance. "The first principle is that you must not fool yourself and you are the easiest person to fool." - Richard Feyman
