Scene: Taco Bell
Time: Today

Me: Hello, I'd like to order.

Clerk: Certainly, what would you like?

Me: I'd like a Taco supreme.

Clerk: Hard or soft?

Me: Hard. And I would like three beef chalupa's, baja style.

Clerk: (is typing at register)

Me: And three Beef Burritos, no onions, add sour cream.

Clerk: Okay, so that was 1 Taco Supreme, a Gordita, baja style, and three bean burritos.

Me: No, it's three *chalupa's* and three *beef* burritos.

Clerk: Okay, so that's 1 taco, a Chalupa supreme, and a beef burrito, add sour cream?

Me: *sighing heavily* No, it's *1* Taco Supreme, *3* Chalupa's, *Baja style*, and *3* Burritos, no onion, just *Meat*, *Cheese*, *Redsauce* and *Sour Cream*.

Clerk: (calls manager over) How do I add sour cream to a burrito?

Manager: (types on keyboard.) Now how did you want that, Sir?

Me: 3 Burritos, no onions, just meat, cheese, red sauce, and sour cream.

Manager: (finishes typing) Got it.

Clerk: (resumes transaction.) That will be $3.10, sir.

Me: (Stares in disbelief) For the whole order?

Clerk: Yes sir.

Me: (shakes head) For 1 Taco Supreme, 3 Baja Beef Chalupas, and 3 Beef Burritos?

Clerk: (looks at order.) I have 1 Taco and 1 Burrito.

Me: Do you want to add the rest of the order to that?

Clerk: Okay, that was 1 Taco...

Me: Supreme.

Clerk: 1 Taco Supreme, a Baja Beef Chalupa...

Me : 3

Clerk: (getting annoyed with me.) Okay, 1 Taco Supreme, *3* Baja Beef Chalupas, and a Burrito with sour cream.

Me: And no Onions. And there's 3 of them too. 1 Taco Supreme, 3 Burritos, and 3 Chalupa's

Clerk: Alright. 1 Taco Supreme, a Burrito, no onion, add sour cream, and 3 Baja Beef Chalupas.

Me: (trying really hard not to reach across counter and break neck of Clerk) *THREE* burritos.

Clerk: (Calls over another manager.) It's only showing 1 burrito.

Manger2: How many burritos did you want sir?

Me: (taking deep breaths) three beef burritos with no onions, only meat, cheese, redsauce, and sour cream.

Manager2: So that's 1 Taco Supreme, 3 Baja Beef Chalupas, and 3 Beef Burritos, no onion, add sour cream?

Me: *sighing in relief that this is finally over.* Yes.

Clerk: That will be $10.49

(money changes hand)

Clerk: Here's your reciept.

Me: (Looking over reciept) This shows 2 bean burritos and 1 beef.

Manager2: Don't worry sir, I told the prep cook that they're all beef.

Me: (shaking head and sighing.) Okay.



No, I'm not making this up. It just happened. At least the food was right...

I am not an "Optimist"

Okay, I’ve been busy writing articles for H+ recently and I’ve been being accused rather frequently of being, “An Optimist.” This post is about proving that I’m really not one. To do this, I first need to clear up a few things by explaining that I am not a believer in AGW or many other “Green” ideologies, nor am I a “liberal” or “progressive” or any number of other “categories” that are made up to compartmentalize and divide humans into groups and cliques. I am a cynic first, last and always, and expect little more than the worst of the worst of human behavior to be the default operating mode of the human race. So, don’t expect good news. There is none. It WILL get worse before it gets better. Pollution will continue, rainforests will be chopped down, and people are going to suffer and even die. There is no nice way to sugar coat this fact. No feel good story that will offset it. We are in a spiral downwards that will end with the complete destruction of the current economy, and qu...

On Government

Alright, this blog post might end up being rather long, but it has become entirely too necessary. I’ve had to repeat myself far too many times. I’ve been arguing with people all over the net about “Government” First, let me define what I mean by Government. Government is a system of organization within a collective which directs the actions of the collective, controls the shared resources of the collective and which distributes those shared resources in the way which benefits the collective most efficiently. A government will always arise as the natural result of human pack instinct because it enables efficient division of labor and allocation of resources. It doesn’t matter what form this organization takes, be it a tribal council, a council of elders, a Men’s or Women’s council, a Fiefdom, a Vassalage, Dukedom, Republic, Monarchy or Democracy, the very organization itself will always be created by any group of people . This organization “Governs” the collective, and is thus a “Go...

This is in response to a post made on the Futurist blog http://www.singularity2050.com/2010/01/the-misandry-bubble.html Several previous comments were made in his commentary, and this article is linked in them as well. My comments are in Purple Bold Italics The Misandry Bubble Why does it seem that American society is in decline, that fairness and decorum are receding, that socialism and tyranny are becoming malignant despite the majority of the public being averse to such philosophies, yet the true root cause seems elusive? What if everything from unsustainable health care and social security costs, to stagnant home prices and wage stagnation, to crumbling infrastructure and metastasizing socialism, to the utter decimation of major US cities like Detroit, Cleveland, and Pittsburgh, could all be traced to a common origin that is extremely pervasive yet is all but absent from the national dialog, indeed from the dialog of the entire Western world?
