2 baby carrots, minced

Instructions
brown
melt butter in cooker
saute onions union translucent
add carrots, garlic, peppers
add spices

brown beef in skillet, in batches
do not break up the meat a lot, BIG chunks is infinitely better
do not drain the beef, 96% beef has almost no fat ...

add beef to cooker
cover and cook on low, 6 - 8 hours

taste early and often
no really eating out of the pot until you explode

Tasting notes:
probably needs more salt for next time, esp using tomatoes without salt .. :P
this produced a mild, almost medium spice chili.  probably want to increase all the peppers next time
50% higher on all spices??

GOP loses their minds

They first came for the Muslims, I didnt say anything because TERRORISTS.

They next came for the Jews, I didnt say anything because they already own all the banks.

And then they came for the papists, I didnt say anything because they arent true patriots anyway!

No one cared when they took away the godless atheists and the wishy washy agnostics.

When they final came for me, no one said anything, they were all gone.

stages of religion

all religions go through a couple standard phases

stage 1) cult and persecution - the old religions persecute them for being the new cult on the block. try to stomp them out before they gain any momentum

stage 2) middle - made fun of - the old religions make fun of them - OMG you believe in blank? that is so INSANE!!! our religion is the one and only

stage 3a) death - they die out from lack of followers

stage 3b) flourish - they make it to the big leagues - enough followers to survive. they have enough power to reduce the abuse

stage 3c) sectarian splits - get big enough that you can fission

stage 4) stage 3b slowly fades into stage 3a

scientology is still in stage 2.

mormonism is moving out of stage 2 into stage 3b.

all religion is delusion - religion will be treated as a mental illness in the future ... and brainwashing your children will be treated as abuse ("YOU WILL BURN IN HELL IF YOU DONT BELIEVE!!!")
