JasonRants! bullshit, penny
2009 Penny Front
So I wasn’t terribly shocked to find a brand new penny in my hand upon receiving change for the breakfast I purchased this morning.. I was however shocked to see that they have been completely redesigned!!
Apparently 2009 was the bicentennial of Abraham Lincoln’s birth and as such four new designs were commissioned and released to celebrate that as well as the 100th anniversary of the production of the Lincoln cent (penny).
I have to think that Lincoln would be embarrassed…

JasonRants! bullshit, chiropractors, subluxation
Subluxation is a real medical term, it is an incomplete or partial dislocation (latin: luxatio) of a joint or an organ. As such if you have a subluxation, a dislocated joint or organ, you need to seek real medical attention.
Recently I hurt my neck — I don’t know exactly what I did, but whatever it was it hurts. I *think* I slept wrong on it and it has hurt for days. We have a sleep number bed and it slowly loses air over the course of a month or so, so if you don’t every once in a while bump it back up you end up sleeping on a really really soft (incorrect) bed. And since I’m no longer 12, any hurt I get seems to take a while to heal.

JasonRants! abortion, adoption, child, choice, daddy, mommy, Planned Parenthood
So near where I work there is a Planned Parenthood facility. It’s in a quiet little area in a very tasteful building not hurting anyone.
And it seems that about 3 times a week there is a pack of 10 or so college age people standing out side quietly protesting. All of them wearing the same obnoxious t-shirt with anti-abortion rhetoric and wearing tape over their mouths acting like they were the “baby” that was killed. All quietly standing next to their BMW’s and Jags saying that you’re a bad person and should be prisoned for murder.
My initial thought was, what the hell don’t these children have anything better to do?!
But the more I thought about it the more it pissed me off. And now all I can think is; how dare they?!

JasonRants! bullshit, God, Recording Industry, RIAA
I maintain that the RIAA are a bunch of thugs and bullies with nothing better to do than harass not only you the consumer, but the artists themselves by using litigious threats and terrorist tactics to get their way. I ask you, is it possible for the RIAA to display more greed or avarice without actually hiring Satan as its general counsel?
The RIAA is known for alienating it’s fans by over charging, completely failing to embrace any semblance of new technology and then sues anyone who tries to give music fans what they want.
The “Recording Industry Artists Association” (RIAA) has not one damn thing to do with the artists. And now, as a thank you to the artists that made the RIAA what it is, the RIAA is making moves to reduce artist royalty payments.

JasonRants! gratuity, money, obligation, tip, Tipping, waiter
I really hate how in America today, and most likely the world wide, tipping is required. Tipping is no longer a gratuity, in that it’s not something that is given voluntarily or beyond any obligation but rather it’s expected. And some how if you don’t tip beyond a certain amount, you’re the bad guy.

JasonRants! Elevator, Etiquette, Manners
For anyone who has ever in their life previously, or may at some point in the future, use a vertical assention device – a.k.a. an Elevator.. This rant is for you!
Anytime you find your self in the predicament of being trapped in a small box with one or more complete strangers, it’s time to employ the use of something that most people never use; Manners. You might even want to whip out and dust off, common sense, another ill-used and often neglected commodity.
