Momentous Modern Contradictions

Federal Government reverses an idiotic policy

In a striking change in policy, the federal government has not only taken steps to help out African Americans in jail, but also helped out African American crack-cocaine drug violators! I bet you didn’t see that coming. In an unprecedented shift in policy, the U.S. Sentencing commission voted to allow almost 20,00 prision inmates who were mostly black to get reduction in their crack cocaine sentences

This is a direct departure from all recent U.S. policy regarding crack cocaine, which they effectively villainized in the 90’s, creating a serious of outrageous drug charges aimed directly at lower income African Americans that cause the destruction of entire inner city communities.

This ruling appears to be a step in the actual, dare I say it? Right direction. Yes, the U.S. government appears to be working on repairing their mistakes, and helping out a demographic that they have long since abused and neglected. This is definitely a step that I never thought would be taken. Good work Sentencing Commission. Well done.

Bush looses idiot award!

Holy Crap, someone else makes less sense then George Bush. I know it sounds crazy, but George Bush recently lost the “Food In Mouth Award” to the recently fired England National Team soccer manager Steve McClaren.

I never thought I would see the day that someone else would come off as more of a butcher of the English language, and stumble on their words and confusing statements more than George Bush, but somehow McClaren has done it. Bush is basically the Patriots of the “Foot In Mouth” award, but now his perfect record is tarnished, I never thought it could possibly happen.

Granted, McClaren did win with statements such as, “He is inexperienced but he’s experience in terms of what he’s been through,” so Bush had a tall order to fill. But I still figured that Bush would be the dominant force in the field of foot in mouth statements. Just another example of our whacky world.

Major Company actually helps environment

Who’s to say that energy companies don’t want what’s best for the world? AES, a major power producer is gong to invest 1 billion dollars in cutting down greenhouse gas’s, now that’s something you wouldn’t necessarily see coming now is it? 1 billion dollars is a hell of a lot of money, and power companies are supposed to be one of the evil forces on this planet, but AES has seemed to go against that grain.

Committing yourself to research of wind power, bio mass, and other natural gas stuff does not seem like a smart idea for a company like AES, but that might mean that… they actually care about the future of humanity? But what major company is going to care more about human life then their profit margin, especially when it comes to the energy world? I’m simply baffled, but this piece of unexpected news does show some hope for us all, but I doubt that it will create any kind of long lasting trend. Going green may be the new thing right now, but getting the green is always going to trump it.

You couldn’t make it up

You can’t predict what is going to happen, and even though it’s easy to say that Christians are crazy, politicians are liars, and musicians are ungrateful sacks of shit, too often our stereotypes and broad views of the world are wrong, and that is what I’m dedicating this blog too, unveiling stereotype breaking activities. I will cover actions by groups or individuals that you just plain wouldn’t expect, which will show you that humanity will forever be unpredictable.
