Not to start off super boring but, American politics is something I wish I had a better handle on. Only because we are neighbours and when I hear something on the news, I’d like to have a clue what they are talking about. I don’t know the senate from the congress from the supreme court. And I really don’t watch the news much these days.
But at the same time I don’t want to delve too deep, I just would like to know the basics. I could know if I truly wanted, I have the world wide web in my hands 24/7. So I guess I’m just being lazy.
Another dull-ish topic is around the legal system. I don’t understand why people who commit serious crimes like murder, rape and child molestation serve such short sentences. Why isn’t it an automatic twenty-five year minimum sentence? I really don’t understand that. Especially the sexual offences against a child. It’s not right that people do that to kids and then in a few years are out of jail. To me, that is the most serious offence.
How did the person making up these rules justify that in their head? Three to five years in jail after you’ve violated an innocent child and possibly ruined their life forever?
My daughter’s friend was violated last year by her step-dad, the slimy little creepy perverted bastard. Her dad told my son that he thinks he’ll get a three year sentence. THREE YEARS!!!
He spent longer than that grooming her to try and gain her trust and really be favoured by her. Disgusting.
Okay I need to change the subject as I feel my blood beginning to boil in my body.
Another thing I’d like to know more about is the technical side of cooking. The sauces, the flavour profiles of things. How do you make a really tasty meal? I know it has something to do with including conflicting flavours, I just don’t know the ins and outs of it all.
Again, I could google it if I really wanted. Yet I don’t seem to make the time for it. We’re so fortunate that we don’t have to go to the library and look in an outdated encyclopedia everytime we want to know something. My family didn’t own a set of encyclopedias. The salesmen came to the door, they tried, but it wasn’t in our budget I guess.
