Gun Control: My Take

Gun Control: My Take

The Second Amendment rules, the gun lobby is strong, and our politicians can’t afford to lose the money. On the other hand, guns are killing our children because Killers are using guns.

Here’s my take. I liken the purchase of a gun to  that of a car. My humble suggestion will not only create jobs, but will keep the gun manufacturers and dealers happy while ensuring that money keeps rolling in for the government. 

 My option MAY maximize the safety of our children and of ourselves.

 And you ask: “Hey Kay ! In all your infinite wisdom and think tank genius what’s up?”

 And I say: “Check this out!”

 Ready?

 If you want to purchase a gun you’ve got to get a license, right? How come that license doesn’t require the same training and education classes as if you are getting a car permit? I think it should.

Here’s how I see it working:

If a person goes to purchase a gun they get their regular background check, right? But I would like to take that one step further. Once the gun is purchased, it is shipped to a local shooting range where the person will have to be trained and educated about guns and gun violence. Then, like a car license they will take a written and practical test at a DMV like place before they can bring the gun home. I cannot guarantee that this will end gun violence but it will certainly curb it considerably and at the same time protect the Second Amendment.

The Discussion continues....

 

Coffee and a Diaper Please!

Coffee and a Diaper Please!

 

   

 

 

I do not drink coffee. I have always likened coffee shops to the Opium dens in London during the 1800's that existed on every street corner. 

And even though some of you might consider this to be an extreme  analogy I have personally witnessed terribly addicted friends who cannot function without coffee have headaches and freak out emotionally if the extra shot is not forthcoming.

I have also found studies that support my suspicions and suggest that drinking coffee  is responsible for bladder leakage, and I think that's why Adult Diaper companies like Depends are seeing dramatic increases in the sales of their product.

 

According to Forbes magazine:

Adult Diapers are gaining popularity. Big time! I suggest we consider that the increase may  be        linked to coffee consumption.

In  five years ending in 2020, sales are expected to grow by almost 50%. At that pace, Bloomberg reports that adult diapers—products aimed not at seniors or babies, but mostly at middle-aged women—could overtake the baby diaper market in a decade.

 And you ask. “Hey Kay, what’s your theory.

 Are you ready?

1. I believe that coffee irritates the bladder and this irritation causes leakage.

 2.  Dr. Karl Gruber from a university in Austria published in a study done in March/2015 linking coffee to bladder cancer.

 3. Medical News Today also links coffee to bladder leakage in men.

 4. On the flip side, Scientific America says that coffee reduced the risk of bladder cancer.

Don’t you love the Internet? What every you want to believe there’s a fact for that!

 

QUESTION: Which one is fake news?

 I guess it boils down to what you WANT to believe, and I believe that adult diapers and  coffee consumption are linked. Which one do you choose?

 I was prompted to write this article (because I don't get paid) when just this morning I came across something on Goggle News/CNN that was right up my alley. Some Scientists have also linked coffee to bladder cancer and it's being taken seriously in the US.

(How many chimps were tortured by coffee being poured down their throats for how many years until they got cancer? Probably hundreds. May I suggest you take that guilt and channel it by making a small donation to Save the Chimps.org). 

On the other hand, the Lyon based IARC concluded that there was inadequate evidence to suggest that coffee might cause cancer.

Despite that discrepancy,  California coffee shops may have to put a warning label on their cups or visible signs on the counter. Yeah! The Rainforests can be saved!

Roasting coffee beans creates acrylamide, a chemical linked to cancer in rodents. A California judge will soon decide if California coffee shops will be forced to warn customers about a possible cancer risk linked to their morning jolt of java. (CNN). They will have to either post it on their cups, like cigarettes or have a visible sign on the counter.  Wait! Didn't  the tobacco companies have a similar experience?

A lawsuit first filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court in 2010 by the nonprofit Council for Education and Research on Toxins targets several companies that make or sell coffee, including Starbucks, 7-Eleven and BP. The suit alleges that the defendants "failed to provide clear and reasonable warning" that drinking coffee could expose people to acrylamide.

So, grab a box of  Adult Diapers with your next triple shot latte extreme and enjoy!

Thanks for reading,

ICE arrests Professor WHY? NOT?

Professor DEPORTED.

There are 8,000 DACA who are school teachers. Please do not arrest them in front of their students and put them into  buses and trains and cargo planes while they wait in line with 700,000 more DACA people hungry and thirsty, bladders full, and dirty waiting to get on trains, buses and cargo planes to be shipped out of the country according to country of origin.

How long do you figure it would take to deport 700,000 people? Do we round them up in the same week and take them to a central depot? Or...do we encourage voluntary deportations?

What are the logistics of that?

STOP this Madness before we repeat the crimes of WW2 here in America.

It is happening.

"They came for my neighbor I did nothing. They came for my friend I did nothing. And when they came for me there was no one left to help."

On a recent Wednesday morning, Syed Ahmed Jamal was getting ready to take his daughter to school when he was stopped outside his home in Lawrence, Kansas.

Officials from Immigration and Customs Enforcement were on his front lawn. Before Jamal, 55, could say goodbye to his wife and three children, the ICE agents detained him and led him away in handcuffs.

The arrest of a "beloved Lawrence family man, scientist and community leader" came as a shock to Jamal's friends and neighbors in the Kansas City area, where he has lived since arriving in the United States on a student visa from Bangladesh more than 30 years ago. He would go on to also attain graduate degrees in molecular biosciences and pharmaceutical engineering, then settle in Lawrence to raise a family.

Along the way, he switched from student visas to an H-1B visa for highly skilled workers, then back to a student visa when he enrolled in a doctoral program, his family said. At the time of his arrest, Jamal was on a temporary work permit, teaching chemistry as an adjunct professor at Park University in Kansas City and conducting research at various local hospitals.
