The Beginning....

The Beginning....
When William Least Heat-Moon toured the country many years ago, his steed, if you will, was a van that he named Ghost Dancing. His journey of America was 13,000 miles. His book is Blue Highways, A Journey Into America. My steed will be a Subaru WRX (traded for an XV Crosstrek). My travels will be, what in the past were called, the blue highways of Virginia. Years ago, maps showed secondary roads in blue. Yes, the ones less traveled.

Chiropractic..... Redux

By accident, if you will, I happened across a chiropractic video on YouTube and decided to make a brief posting here.

I 've ranted and raved about chiropractors for years. In fact, many years ago I started another of my go-no-where blogs. Take a look here.

It's simple. This so-called chiropractic stuff was started in 1895 by D. D. Palmer, a grocer, and magnetic healer. And, it's still going on today. It's all baloney and the only thing that's changed since 1895 is that these so-called doctors have added more pseudo-scientific modalities. 

If you do a little research you will find that they, these so-called doctors, may be able to help with lower back pain. And, that's about it. Of course, you could also do nothing and it will go away without any type of intervention. If you're desperate, seek help from an actual doctor...yes, an MD or a physical therapist. They are actually trained in science.


Many, if not most, chiropractors hang their hats on the so-called vertebral subluxations.  Since 1895 they have been adjusting them. Guess what? There is no such thing.

Are chiropractors evil people? Frankly, I doubt many of them are. In fact, I would imagine that most of them feel like what they are doing is beneficial. However, what they do is evil. Taking money from people and giving nothing in return.

Many, if not most chiropractors claim that they, the chiropractors, treat the actual medical problem and claim that real physicians only treat the symptoms. Of course, this is nonsense. Many chiropractors are against vaccinations. While they are telling you-you don't need drugs (prescriptions) they ply you with hundreds-of-dollars worth of supplements that do nothing.

The only thing worse than going to a chiropractor occasionally is using them as your general practitioner or primary care physician.

Well, enough of this. You've been warned!!!!!!!! Watch the videos.

Harambe is Dead. Where Was God? Oh, Sure, That Makes Sense.........

OK, I'll join the herd and post something about Harambe. However, I'm not going to debate
whether or not he should have been shot. Nope, I want to comment on what Mrs. Michelle Gregg, the mother of the child who climbed into the gorilla enclosure, posted on her FaceBook page.

Now, here's my question for Gregg. Where was your God when your child crawled into the enclosure? You give your God credit for saving your son while at the same time it would seem this same God was responsible for allowing the child to need saving. 

Why is it that Christians give their God credit for everything good that happens but never curse Him for the bad things that happen? Please, if you say He works in mysterious ways I'm going to send my pup after you.




















Speaking of praying, here's an old video of mine that is about prayers and praying. 



 "The beauty of religious mania is that it has the power to explain everything. Once God (or Satan) is accepted as the first cause of everything which happens in the mortal world, nothing is left to chance … or change. Once such incantatory phrases as ‘we see now through a glass darkly’ and 'mysterious are the ways He chooses His wonders to perform’ are mastered, logic can be happily tossed out the window. Religious mania is one of the few infallible ways of responding to the world’s vagaries, because it totally eliminates pure accident. To the true religious maniac, it’s all on purpose."

Stephen King, The Stand, p. 714
