Comment on Stepping and Idiocy by Luimbe

Daryl, the whole situation is a disappointment and wraps the groups and all of the kids, regardless of their treatment of the ZTAs, good or bad, in unneeded controversy..

This is absolutely atrocious, to me. I watched the video of ZTA’s performance (along with the AKA and DST performances) and this is all very quite simple — ZTA set a precedence on the stage of precise, meticulous stepping, period! My fear is that the other competitors KNOW they were wiped off the stage by their white counter-parts, but saw an opportunity due to the unorthodox participants. That scares me. If you work hard for something and you are the best, than by all means plead your case. However, if someone comes out a little (but in this case, a lot) better than you… go back to the drawing board and show why YOU are the best, next year.

And yes, boo to Coca-Cola Co. How dare they rob these young ladies of their rightful reign?

I feel like the author in that I could go on and on. I’ll stop myself. Before I go I will say this, EVERY sorority that participates in step competitions needs to study ZTA’s performance very closely. It appears they did their homework, practiced religiously, and showed up to the competition to present what stepping was created to be, and show everyone what stepping is. Because like Hiphop, stepping has been watered-down and the epitome of stardom-seeking with no talent/hard-work behind it, over the last decade. Stop crying and step your game up.

@bradpittfan Thanks for your comment. I can’t say I know enough to accuse McCarthy of lying about her son having autism purposefully. Even while she touts garbage science as fact, I would rather give her the benefit of the doubt. I will look into these claims and try to write more about it in the future.

But vaccine controversy is a problem, when Measles and Mumps are popping up again in our schools, we have a major public health issue that has been created by quacks, charlatans and their doe eyed followers.

Vaccine controversy is the least of our worries. We need to have more investigative journalists cover the epidemic of frauds infiltrating the autism community. As in Amanda Baggs, the woman who took a copious amount of LSD, fried her brain, then, in a pervasive delusional state, went on the internet with her buddy and studied autistic people until she became a skilled character actress. Then there’s Ari Ne’eman, who is a man diagnosed with Aspergers at 20 yrs of age, then suddenly shoots to fame as the self appointed autism spokesperson. Not to forget the ever articulate and so autistic lady, katie miller, oh yea, now there’s a rain chick If we ever saw one. Go Kate. Before Kate, of course, there is the artsy autie, Donna Williams, a multiple personality disorder who has one personality that is autistic. Quite interesting, indeed. And the list goes on. You have Horse Boy, who was ADHD, not autistic. You have Son Rise, who was perhaps not autistic. You have McCarthy’s boy who was definately not autistic and then there’s kids swimming with dolphins, taking B=12, DMG and wa la, they are now non autistic. Oh wait. We forgot the Defying Autism author who says her child was possessed with demons and after “deliverance” he is now a happy boy. Oh boy, it just never ends. And ya know why? Because not enough investigative journalists have taken the time to look at this. They have not connected the dots. They have failed to see the frauds and the hype. You know the ole’s saying: if a lie goes unexposed the people think it’s okay to keep lying. It’s basic behaviorism 101, NOT enough people are challenging the frauds of autism so they keep growing in numbers, fooling the media. Lying. Posing as autistics to the detriment of those who are dealing with real autism. .

Comment on Gates fires Maj. Gen. Heinz, head of overrun plagued F-35 Fighter Program by Darryl

How about the C-17 program? There are those who believe the president should leave this in the budget to provide jobs in local districts to its constituency. I am the first to say that I am all for job creation. However, we are ignoring the basic economic model of supply and demand. There is absolutely zero demand for more C-17s. They continue to be manufactured solely for the purpose of job security. Call me naive, but isn’t this the same attitude that drove us to the economic crisis we are in, today — over-extending supply where there is no demand to be met? We’re referring to highly skilled workers, here. I’m sure their services are highly desired in the private sector. Despite the harsh economic conditions, Leer Jets are in the highest demand they have been in, well, ever!

My point is this, let the market continue in its normal cycle. In some instances, I believe we are disturbing the wave of supply and demand with with a government-bearing stimulus tsunami. Conditions will change, markets will shift and in turn, people will hone their skills to meet the needs of new sectors. Don’t jump ship — ride the wave!

Comment on Kanye not headlining for Haiti by Darryl

Unfortunately, I think Kanye has lost all fan and sponsor support. I don’t know who a benefit album from Kanye would actually benefit. Let him stay in hiding, wherever he is. This is all coming from one of the biggest Kanye fans, ever!!!
