I Had Dreams of Giant Chile Rellenos Last Night

So, Shusli and I were going to learn some ballroom dancing last night. Since we had little in the fridge to create a dinner, and little time to do so, Shusli and Eli suggested "paleo" burritos! WOO-HOO!

Shusli stayed home while Eli and I went to La Sirenita on 17th near Tacoma in our neighborhood. They make some awesome burritos.

Shusli and Eli both got the same thing, carne asada wet burritos while I got my usual chile relleno burrito and a quesedilla.

While we were waiting, there were three of the cutest kids running around in and out of the kitchen under the watchful eye of their mother as they started to get ready. In fact, the two youngest looked kind of like the Palestinian children in the above photo recently murdered by the Israeli military. Anyway, they were so damned cute! The little girl and littlest boy were kind of shy, but not too shy as to walk by Eli and I. I would wave at them and they would smile and look shyly away. The older boy, about 6 or 7, could care less.

At one point, the older boy thought they were out the door, so away he went. I kept an eye on the kid as he walked down the street, and his mother told me, "he'll be back once he realizes we are quite leaving yet." Surez enough, away the kid comes on back, his arm over his face as it was misty and windy last night. Cute as heck!

As Eli and I wait for our dinner, the little family is actually heading out the door. The kids mother tells them, "say goodbye!" They all three wave and say goodbye to Eli and I! CUTEST THING IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD! I reminded Eli that Shusli and I want grandkids. He told me he's on it.
Now, I did tell you all how the U.S. came up with the idea of cluster bombs, didn't I? The U.S. has such clever scientists in its pockets.

So, the U.S. government hires a couple of psychologists to find what colors attract children most. Turns out to be fluorescent green and fluorescent orange.

So they make these wonderful little bomblets, just like the ones the U.S. sold and rushed to the Israeli military to use in Lebanon a year ago, that are colored fluorescent green and orange. (You're starting to get the picture, aren't you?) Then, little children, kind of like the dead ones laying on their mothers chest in the above photo, kind of like the cutest little babies Eli and I saw last night, pick up these little bomblets or play kick ball with them, and BOOM! they get an arm or leg blown off. You see, they aren't designed to kill the little buggers, their designed to maim them. I Know! Clever Fucking Scientists we have here in the U.S., huh?

So, the little kiddo gets an arm and a let blown off, what sense does that make? A whole lotta sense if you Love to kill and maim like the governments of the U.S. and Israel. What happens when a little kid gets their arm or leg blown off? That's right! Personell have to be take out of the field to care for the baby. Medical resources get used up. The potential future treat of said child, like the one in the cartoon photograph above, is removed or at least greatly reduced. And when that child grows up, its potential for productivity is limited and it will most likely be a drain on the system, again, using up resources. Goddamned great clever stuff, huh!?

Don't piss off the U.S. or Israel, they have many great methods of killing your children.
