Poor Old Dude

American Horror Story has once again reared its ugly head, and while the last two seasons have been weak IMHO the most resent (Cult) has absolutely jumped the shark. Over loaded with social comemtary, caricatures, and stereotypes it has ceased to be horror and become parody. From its images of the psychotic right to sociopathic left, terrified Hispanics waiting for the INS to take them away, outwardly and overly racist whites, lesbian couples and gay man married to straight female BFF, throw in crazed gun owner and creepy clowns, it truly takes things one step too far.  When the horror becomes nothing but sub-text, and social commentary is shoveled down your throat it really does not deserve the title American "Horror" Story, it was bad enough we all had to live through the circus of the last election with out having it magnified and rehashed once again, maybe the show runners should have rethought their agenda and stuck to horror.

What puts man at the top of the food chain? (if we really are) There are a number of common answers to this question, intelligence, ability to make tools, our ability to form communities, ability to transform our surroundings, language, etc. None of these are truly the answer.

Now that is a good thing,right?  I guess, but it also what makes us the most dangerous animal on the planet, and the least trust worthy as well.

Opportunists survive so be a opportunist, take advantage of situations but do it while maintaining a moral center, beware of predators because while they may thrive short term but in the end they will turn on anyone friend or family, and will eventually, in a SHTF situation have to be removed from playing board.

With the new Star Trek series on the horizon and the numerous changes (horrible in my opinion) the show runners have made to the beloved Klingons the topic of the Bat'leth has been bandied about on forums and Youtube recently. A great number of these comments have consisted of words such as stupid, dumb, unusable, and ridiculous. Many making these comments are self proclaimed "experts" and others obviously have never held a edged weapon beyond a Mall Katana and certainly have never held a Bat'leth. While I would never say the Batleth is a great weapon it is far from the useless peice of crap that these so called experts would like to believe. So lets start with a couple of facts about the origin of the Bat'leth. The Bat'leth was created by Dan Curry in 1990 for the character of Worf in TNG, curry was a martial arts practitioner and has said he took inspiration from Deer horn knives,  Curry also developed a fighting style with ritual dance like motions,...

Here are some easy rules to having a truly unsuccessful Youtube channel 1. only do videos about things you like. 2. do videos about random subjects, and post them at random times. 3. Don’t use click bait, keep you titles factual and un-sensational. 4. Use the equipment you own, if you have a cell phone or 5 yrs old video cam that's all good. 5.
