Okay,
I’m on late today, sorry. It was a bit
of a crazy one. Anyway, I wanted to talk
to all a ya’ll about a few things in true random Daisy style. Giddy up.
First
– on your New Year's resolution to become a runner (right? Didn’t you?
Wasn’t that on the list?), I wanted to point some of you who live in a
snowy climate toward a tool that you can use to run outside whilst the world
turns into a giant ice cube. It’s called
Yak Trax and m’dearies, they are amazing.
They are these metal coil thingy-ma-jigs that strap on with rubber and Velcro
to the bottom of your running shoes. It
gives you a fantastic grip so you have a much less chance of falling on the ice
that used to be a sidewalk. As my dear
Swedish friend says, “There’s no bad weather, only bad clothing.” Those Swedes! Ah, precis, det ar så popular. Jag älskar dej, bastis!
Secondly
– What kind of doctor do you go see?
Have you ever considered a naturopath?
I seriously think you should. If
you get a good doctor (of any type, really), they are a gold mine of wonderful
information. I’m not knocking all other
types of doctors, just so ya’s know, but I am discouraged that there are so
many physicians out there who – instead of perusing your symptoms and seek an
actual CAUSE – prefer to consult their gigantic book of cleverly painted pills
and play Pick-Yer-Favorite-Color by using a Twister wheel provided for them by
their own dear friends, the pharmaceutical companies.
Thirdly
– Hillary Clinton. If you believe
ANYTHING that the media is telling you about her ailments that she so fatefully
is experiencing at the perfect timing so that she does not have to testify in
something that may incriminate her for wrongdoing, please, do me a favor. Pick up a block of wood and bang it against
your forehead like the monks in Monty Python’s Holy Grail. This will help you. Somehow.
If it doesn’t, just ask your doctor to give you the color of the week
pill.
Fourthly
– Guns don’t murder people, zombies and sickos do. If you think you can solve the world’s
problems by removing guns from the safes of the actual sane and law-abiding
people, you might as well also ban steak knives, cars, gardening tools, ropes,
and a plethora of other tools that any generic weirdo would get his weirdo
hands on and do his weirdo things with.
Promoting vampires, werewolves, aliens, and crimes/murder (via shows
like CSI, etc.) feed the mainstream of society and spread their sprawling
talons with a slicing grip into every idea that used to be “normal” (two-parent
homes, young people being respectful to their elders, not sucking blood out of
people’s necks, etc.). Society is broken
into a thousand pieces and it just keeps getting hacked at every single
day. Politics aren’t going to fix
it. The media aren’t going to fix
it. (It sounds so weird to say that, but
media is really a plural word. Ugh. It looks so gross and sounds weird that way,
though, doesn’t it!? Ew.) There’s only one solution. Move to Switzerland. They all have guns there and the crime rate
is like 0.000%. That was easy! Any other world problems, just send them my
way.
Now
let me just tell you what I really think.
Yes.
Ahem.
Okay,
I guess that’s enough soapbox for one day.
Peace,
love and I’ll meet you in Switzerland with your Yaktrax on,
Ms.
Daisy
The lower poverty rate in Swiss Cheese Land (6.8%) might have more to do with the lower crime rate in your comparison. The US rate is about 19%.
ReplyDeleteRich people can kill people just as much as poor people, mister. Maybe there are less GMOs in Switzerland so their brains work better. Anyone with half of a brain wouldn't rob (or otherwise attack/assault) someone they know has a gun on their person. Don't hate on the cheese! Think of the cute braids!
