A MarketPlace of Ideas                        

Notice the politically correct bike riding helmut? Its hard to be absolutely certain but it appears he is towing a bike trailer behind the bike. It maybe a nancy fender so he does not get his brand new jeans dirty. That means by dint of physics he is not going to get going very fast due to its drag. Also from his posture he is not really putting any real amount of quadricept into the ride.  To top it off you do not do long rides in blue jeans as it is a stiff material that is very uncomfortable to do strenuous activity in. Now if you ride downhill mountain bike as I have in the past you might wear a helmet. I never did but I understood the people who wore them. But this guy and his little Sunday morning Nancy ride and he needs a helmet? There is only one reason for the helmet. Political correctness. We already have enough political correctness. We already have enough of the standard thinking. That is why we Americans seem to have taken the most free nation on earth and turned it headlong towards socialism. This bicycle helmet tells me as clearly as anything does that this guy does not think outside the box.

My brazilian girlfriend is a nurse. As such she is privy to alot of health information that is not publicized. The following story was recounted to me. There is a male nurse that is a friend of a friend of hers. This fellow is HIV positive. All well and good. You as a naive person think well of course if he has sex he uses a condom and informs his partner first. WRONG ON BOTH COUNTS. This fellow who is described as super good looking does not inform his sex partners. He has dated with both men and women although my girlfriend was not sure if he has actually had sex with a girl that she knew he was dating. It is likely he has had sex with both sexes. He does not use a condom. As recounted to me his attitude is that someone gave him HIV and thus he is not going to worry about giving it to other people. The word my girlfriend used to describe this is he is in revolt. Next question I put to my girlfriend the nurse: This is an strange case of someone acting this way? Answer: This is not strange at all. It is a quite common attitude. I know this passive aggressive attitude may sound strange to many Americans. However the liberal attitude of not wanting others to get to far ahead his much more prevalent here. It is counted as a portuguese / brazilian trait. As she put it the infected person has 2 choices -1- stay home inside waiting to die in a state of depression -2- go on playing like nothing happened. go into a state of revolt and spread the virus. It all sounds like a very good metaphor for socialism. Everyone should be equally miserable. I thank god I am not either one of these miserable fucks spreading misery.  And it makes me rethink if the retroviral drugs are a good thing.  It extends the amount of time available to people like this to spread the virus.
