This should be enough to make hard-working Americans sick.
And enough to make the $15 /hr. minimum wage folks think they are being short-changed....
Was talking to Paw Paw or Grandpa as some of you know him. Wanted to do something that he would be into and that I like too. I love old cars and trucks and wanted to know, if you had one day to drive any car you wanted which would it be?

Decided to join in this blogging thing on the site and see how it goes.
So songs have huge emotional voltage, attached to particular moments in our life: they instantly recall our first crush, first kiss, moments when we were at our lowest, our darkest, or our most exhilarated, most transcendent. They almost recreate early memories like smells do.
I'm guessing most guys here knew they were gay so early that it's impossible to connect that realization to a particular song. But for others, it might have come later, and I'm curious to know if anyone has a particular song they associate with that, a song that captures the moment, the soaring, erotic or beautiful sense of knowing themselves as a gay male, loving that this was them and accepting fully this was how they were going to love and lust from now on.
I'll go first. For me it was definitely this song. I was 18 and had been slowly trying to figure out my feelings and desires. Raised in a religious environment being gay was a huge problem. Just at the moment I felt lost - torn between how I felt and all the brainwashing - this album by Bryan Adams came out and this song did it for me.
Somehow this song captured my problem on an existential level and the first time I heard it was the moment I realized fully that I was gay and that it was beautiful, honest and real in a way I could finally accept. This song was my first gay anthem even. I know Bryan Adams didn't intend it that way, but I reckon the song itself was about being authentic, so that in a way it was written for me as much as for anyone else in a similar position.
Would love to hear if anyone had a similar experience with a song and their journey to being happily gay.
This may be the largest civil action lawsuit in United States history. Potentially a thousand times larger than cigarettes,, asbestos, and all personal injury lawsuits combined filed in the United States. As a victim myself, it is difficult to set my emotions aside, so forgive me if I call this what it really is: MALE GENITAL MUTILATION. Outlawed by the 1942 Geneva Convention as a crime against humanity, if you were circumcised as an infant, today may be your lucky day. Despite this, even as you read this, thousands of newborns have their genitals senselessly mutilated with no end in sight aside from criminal arrest of those responsible. In order for that to happen, the California Legislators, who have previously unrevoked laws allowing molested children a oneyear window to file suit against their molesters outside of the statute of limitations. My hope is that a comprehensive lobbying plan will succeed in convincing legislators that MALE GENITAL MUTILATION is far worse a crime than molesting a child. The reality is that children are having their genitals cut off. It's beyond comprehension, yet it continues unabated.
If I could afford it, I would lobby in Sacramento to have these laws changed, especially the laws regarding the medically unnecessary removal of foreskin, a.k.a. circumcision which like eating pork chops used to be a religious ritual. What it is in reality MALE GENITAL MUTILATION. I was deprived of my God given foreskin and have never recovered from the procedure. For more than half my life I have tried every possible means of stretching new foreskin, but as the saying goes, "You can't get blood from a turnip". Under recent laws which have since been revoked, every single male circumcised as an infant should be allowed to seek financial compensation for their medically unnecessary procedure; moreover, even if the doctor who performed the procedure is no longer living, the hospital, and malpractice insurance carrier are liable not only for your own foreskin, but if you Father was circumcised, a claim may be filed in the name of their estate to collect a minimum sum of $20,000 per instance. It's a shame though, you cannot collect for your Grandfather's circumcision even though the fact he was circumcised may have played a huge role in their decision to have their son circumcised.
If you are interested in becoming a complainant, I need a minimum of seven people willing to have their names placed on the original complaint that will be filed in a California Superior Cour and eventually pave the way for millions of other additional claimants to seek out the compensation they deserve. Unless you died as a result of your circumcision procedure which would entitle those victims to a maximum $270,000, victims who survived the procedure will most likely receive maximum awards of $90,000 and no cents. That is if this case is assigned to a Judge in Indio, California. Provided that Judge Hudspeth does not see this as conflict of interest, it is likely that the entire suit could actually be arbitrated to completion within 7 years.
This case will likely be tied up in the court system for upwards of ten years once the California Legislators pass a Senate approved bill that would allow victims to seek justice against their victimizes beyond the statute of limitations. The only way to bring about this action is to combine all men victims of circumcision clumped together in a single independent action.
The California Bar Association requires me to inform anyone reading this that in the event you need professional legal assistance, the California State Bar can provide you with the name of a licensed attorney free of charge. Please leave only the initials of your name, penis size, including girth, and it's likely size had you not been unlawfully circumcised, and if available the name of the hospital or doctor's office where the procedure was performed.
