No, I have no damn clue where this drawing is from. It popped down from internet heaven. I use it because it is so damn representative of the idiots out there that "discuss" the trucking industry. I have no clue where to begin. So let's start by asking ourselves if it really makes any damn difference to censor a word, let's say shit, when on tv you're looking at someone and you clearly know they said shit. You might even be looking away but hear the "bleep" and then turn to see the person say shit. Howard Stern was fined millions of dollars for using words like scum bag and douche bag. The other night on network prime time someone said scum bag and douche bag without censorship - no fine. We are all familiar with the argument about you can cut the "tittie" off but you cannot show the "tittie." I saw some babe on tv that was taking a sip of Bud Lite. The camera turned away then went back to her after the sip. Huh? Who are we kidding? Where am I going with all this? Well, we are in the danger zone when any censorship is used that impedes our right to free speech. It does not bother me if some idiot want to burn a flag. It does not bother me if someone calls someone else a faggot. Sticks and stones people. So, where am I going with this? Well, someone "reminded" me the other day that I need to be more "nice." More nice? Fuck that. What prompted this is my horrible habit to speak the truth in everything I write. I pull no punches. I never ever water things down. I callz 'em as I seez 'em. Apparently that's too way much for people to handle. Tough shit. Waaaaaaa. The reason that we're in this mess is because we are being led around like pigs to slaughter. And I'm not gonna take it anymore. Why are you taking it up the ass? What are you afraid of? Beyond this blog, I am constantly searching for ever more powerful methods of speaking the truth. I will never be silenced. I owe to myself and the countless folks that made the ultimate sacrifice to protect our freedom of speech. What's your excuse?
