In response to the story about the lunatic lesbians who murdered their six black children by driving their van off a cliff.
Guest Post by Hardscrabble Farmer
Back in the day when I was traveling the country alone I encountered a lot of broken souls, usually other comics, but waitresses, club patrons, etc. They gravitated to exciting things as a way of distracting themselves from what was really wrong. At one point three different comics in a one month period I had worked with killed themselves- one killing his father first. I knew that there was something wrong with each of them and that the distractions of moving from place to place and living that kind of rootless lifestyle wasn’t the answer to their problems, but a symptom.

Some people are drawn to comedy- or in the case of these women, social justice issues- because it’s exciting and you get tons of positive feedback from strangers who don’t really know you and then you move on before anyone gets the chance. They aren’t exorcising their demons as much as trying to outrun them. On some level the human desire to both be yourself and to fit in manifests itself as positive, you seek an identity tied to what you do and somewhere along the way you discover your purpose by actually becoming skilled at your profession or avocation, as a parent or a caregiver, whatever path you choose.
For others all they want is the attention and the accolades without the hard work that goes into becoming something purposeful in life and so they ACT as if they are that thing. If you are directed not by your own internal compass, but by the vagaries and shifting tides of what is popular or in, you become less of yourself and more of a cipher, a non-entity wearing the skin of purpose while drifting ever further from your mooring.
What they did wasn’t tragic, and it wasn’t the result of society’s rejection, it was criminal and deliberate and it was fed at every level by the approval and acceptance of the nihilistic culture they were immersed in. There are more co-conspirators to this evil act than you can count on an abacus, from the HHS, to their families, to Myspacebook and Twatter, to the GLADD things to the networks that pushed this marginal and substandard lifestyle on an entire nation as if it were the pantheon of human endeavor.
What a shameful and immoral time we share with the agents of own destruction. And what an awful and horrifying end for those innocent children at the hands of monsters.
Good article. You nailed it.
Probably the shortest article I’ve seen you write but, it was as long as it needed to be to make clear the point. Bravo.
As usual right on.
Very accurate. And oh so true. Glad to see you post, I am sure you’re a busy man these days. Does make you wonder who will write the history 50 years from now, and what they will say.
Exactly!!!! For thousands of years there were certain norms that humans followed. You were born a man or a women,and one lived their lives to their gender. They became married,and formed families. It was normal for Dad to support the family financially.It was normal for mom to raise the family at home. At least it was that way for most when I grew up. Then something happened. First women were made to feel that raising a family was beneath them. Then families were split up. Then they were told that a family could be anything that one desired. Now….well we know where we have landed. This was the intent all along. The liberal/Progressive always thinks Out of chaos will come order. Their order….
“Out of chaos will come order”
Do you know that a Trumpeteer used that same line to promote Trump’s ham-handed diplomacy? I thought it was contrary to the theory that says chaos and decay come after and not before. But what do I know? So I didn’t say anything.
We must be so inured to upheaval that the King of Chaos seems so right even when he’s wrong. I’m not even going to feel bad if people thumb me down. At this point, I am not sure of my lying mind.
I have a suspicion that these two lesbos happened upon adopting unwanted negro children as a way to make a living without having to work. With each child came additional government benefits. I know of people who do ‘foster parenting’ because it pays well.
Government has a duty to really look into the background of people looking to adopt or be foster parents. If they need the money that should be a huge red flag.
How is this ‘family’ could just move to rural Oregon without any visible jobs or skills?

You know, that’s basically just government sanctioned human trafficking.
I suspect you hit the nail on the head. I know of people that do the foster child thing as a means of support. They get around $3K per month per child from the government. If this is the case, these two emotionally damaged and confused women were pulling in over $200K per year from their deadly government promoted scam.
“…the skin of purpose.” A well-turned phrase.
If you deny the spiritual part of yourself the world will offer whatever it feels will satisfy it. Carl Jung stated (paraphrased) ” If you do not tell the world who you are the world will then tell you who you are.” Pretty simple. Of the world, or in the world to make a difference. John
Very scary movie- and pertinent; The Skin I live In.
HSF, when you wrote that back in the day when you were traveling alone you encountered a lot of broken souls I saw a bond that only those of us that have lived it can understand.
I have been a technical sales/application specialist for industrial electric motors for four decades. I spent almost three of those decades on the road and at least twelve of those as a road warrior.
You have all probably heard the term ‘road warrior’, but likely do not realize that there is actually a definition of the term.
Merriam-Webster’s dictionary merely says, “… Road warrior – a person who travels frequently especially on business…”, but that is not how those of us that have lived it define it. To us a road warrior was a person that logged a minimum of 250 overnights on business in a twelve-month period. It could be in sales, service, as with HSF – performing comedy, or anything, but it had to be business only. No working vacations – business. We called ourselves coyotes.
It is a hard and empty existence. It literally sucks the life out of you. I could see it in the faces, particularly in the eyes, of other coyotes. I knew many of them from nights spent at the bar of whatever hotel I happened to be staying in. They were about the only friends I had and I would only see them in passing.
Life expectancy is short. Most road warrior/coyotes can only stand it for three or four years before either hitting the wall or succumbing to heart attacks, strokes, alcoholism, or unfortunately, one of the highest rates of suicide of any occupation. I suspect the high rate of suicides is due to the realization that you were giving away your life to companies that cared not a whit for you. They used us and discarded us like buying a bolt of copy paper at Office Depot. Mark Zuckerpig would likely call us dumb fucks. And so we were.
A home life is usually either unavailable or unsustainable. Mine cost me my marriage. You find that when you do go home that you don’t know anybody.
Hitting the wall is what we called it when a coyote would eventually have a meltdown. In my case, I was able to actually visualize it. It looked like the light you can see approaching the end of a tunnel. If you hit it, you were through by one of the earlier mentioned methods. Few survived it. I saw it coming and managed to get myself off the road before it ended what little life I had left in me.
I used to drive 50,000 to 60,000 miles a year. Back when I was still living in Buffalo, NY before moving to Texas and continuing my road warrior/coyote lifestyle, I used to drive on the NY State Thruway a lot. You would pull into the ticket booth at one place and they would give you a card with all of the exits on it showing the final price you would pay when exiting at your destination.
Keep in mind that driving wasn’t the job though, it was our type of commute. Usually a different place every night. Most of us didn’t travel to Paris, or Rome, or London, but to places you had never heard of and would be lucky to find on a map. Work all day and drive at night to the next place you had to work. It was those oncoming headlights. They hypnotize and eventually break you.
I was one of the lucky ones though. My friend Marilyn was too. She actually hit the wall and survived it. Hers was among the most unusual hits too.
Marilyn pulled into the ticket booth early one winter morning. It was still dark and like many of us, it was those oncoming headlights that eventually caught up to her. She reached out to accept her Thruway ticket and froze like a statue. The ticket guy had to reach in and put her car in ‘Park’ and call the NY State Troopers and then an ambulance. Her recovery was slow and for many years she simply could not drive a car at night. It’s those oncoming headlights…
Reading about the tragedy of these two lesbians and their final solution for themselves and those poor adopted kids I can’t help but wonder if their on-the-road lifestyle wasn’t their own version of hitting the wall before hitting the rocky bottom over the cliff.
We will never know what was going through their minds of course, but those that have never lived that road warrior life will find it even more difficult to understand.
In any case, it is tragic for all parties…
I liken people of that ilk along the same lines as animal hoarders, they start out with do-good intentions and get praise, but quickly become overwhelmed and no way out that can save face so they do dumb impulsive stuff like that. Apparently they had no backup safety net of relatives. Can’t return kids back to the pound like unwanted dogs.
That’s a great post, Bluebird. Leadership is exhausting in the best of times. Those women were young. They never thought of the daily grind of taking care of six children of that age. It’s much easier when children are small and compliant. They get a little older and start to become a little rebellious, and it gets a lot harder. Overwhelmed is probably exactly what happened here.
Yup. I think they just could not cope anymore.

They believe they can fly, but Gravity Disagrees with them.
It’s hard being away from home at times but I have never met Broken truck drivers at FedEx or any of the other trucking companies . I guess Truck driving brings in a different kind of people.I like the road .It has been a blessing for me. Office politics drove me crazy. Now it just Little bb , myself and God. For once I’m somewhat happy.
I do agree about staying healthy.I walk at truck stops at least 4 times a week.Try to eat good , healthy food when I can.
Succinctly and eloquently stated. Reading that was like seeing this:

As a continuation: Wicked orthodoxies are the new clothes for today’s emperors.
In a comment on my “Law” thread, we were discussing the existentialist philosopher, Jean-Paul Sartre, and what he called “bad faith”. There, I wrote:
If “good faith” is acting on good “premises”, then good results are sure to follow. If “bad faith” is acting on faulty premises, then lesbians drive their adopted children over cliffs.
Queers, lesbians and trannies are all mentally ill. Putting children in their care is criminal. Criminals and the mentally ill should be locked away.
Causing harm to others is what defines a monster.
Queers, lesbians and trannies were once outside of society, now they are in like Flynn. Are they really insane? Maybe they are just lonely. There are worse ways to deal with loneliness and the inability to connect with another. Adam rejected quite a few animals, I suspect a dog was the semi-finalist before God intervened and made a woman out of Adam’s side.
Loneliness can drive a person mad. It leads to alienation. Working the night shift or being on the road forever like Steve can result in things like the trucker who killed a girl and carried her boob in a baggie. The mind becomes free-spinning, sometimes it can make for funny ideas, sometimes it only breaks.
Steve suggested it was persecution that led to this tragedy. The state can be a monster at times.
The state is pretty much a monster always. If individuals employed by the State make a positive contribution, it’s almost always their character and caring that makes it, not rules and regulations.
Buddy of mine is way past 50, should be time to set back and enjoy his kids, investments, work, right? One of his relatives married a meth head and became one; two lost souls to start with. He took in the kid, about 13 at the time, to keep it out of juvie and foster care and give it a chance. It was a non-stop roller coaster for a while (the kid had to make its own meals when the meth heads couldn’t get it together) and more than once he was tempted to give up, but the kid is coming around and might turn out decent. It won’t stay in the same room with any kind of drug use, and doesn’t drink, smoke or play around either.
But real parenting is the hardest job there is even with your own. Parenting someone else’s is above and beyond the call of duty, if you do it right it’s worth far more than you’re ever paid.
Going off a cliff was par for the two queers but cramming their liberal ways down the other’s throats to death was pure gold plated liberalism. If the Left wanted to MAGA, they’d leave the 1st and 2nd Amendments alone and go after the crazy liberals.
I’ve seen lots of different comments, questions, etc. regarding these two, how could they afford it, and the like. I have been witness to an amazing display by a woman I once worked with A long sordid tale I will try and keep short. Some of this info is personal knowledge, much is second-hand.
So this white woman went into the Navy shortly after college. She ended up sleeping with her superior and got pregnant. Left the Navy, had another kid with him, and HE divorced her an took both kids (she is also an alcoholic). Following the divorce, she decided she was a lesbian.
She “married” (not a legal ceremony at the time) a woman. She broke up with this woman and began adopting children. She was on #2 when she met a woman I still know well. They moved in together and she proceeded to adopt another 6 (total of 8). She was the only adoptive parent as the state they lived in would not allow both to adopt and after her loss of her first two kids, she said she would never share custody with anyone ever again. These kids came from Ethiopia (2 – 1 blind from birth), Cambodia (2 – both with cleft palates and cerebral palsy) the US (4 – 2 basically normal, 2 with fetal alcohol syndrome and possible fetal cocaine use, all black). The adoptions were all funded by gay and lesbian friends of hers/theirs, probably in support of her “finding her true self” as a lesbian, and possibly because of the types of “disadvantaged” kids she was acquiring. She did do some teaching of English while out of the country to pay some of her personal expenses, but basically fully-funded adoptions. 5 of the kids have “special needs,” so the hard-working taxpayers are paying a bunch of money every month to her for their care (plus medical, etc.). Shortly after all 8 were adopted, she left my friend and moved in with a MAN who she has subsequently married (they were friends in High School apparently). They have adopted ANOTHER 8 kids (no idea exactly who is funding these adoptions – other than the 100% tax refund you get, and yes, he is the co-adoptive parent). Every one of them is special needs, 1 is from Ukraine, another is blind, there are mental disorders, physical disorders, etc. The department of family and children’s services has been called on them, one of the first 8 kids talked openly to them about the situation in the household, and she demanded that my friend take him and adopt him or she would send him back to the adoption agency. My friend has also taken two of the other original 8 to live with her (they are all 16-19 now). The adoptions continue despite being on the radar of DFCS.
I personally have seen a doll case of hers that used to contain dozens of full-size baby dolls. She at one point worked for a cat rescue agency and had 47 cats at the house – peeing and shitting everywhere, along with at least 7 dogs, some of which killed each other.
She is a collector. There is truly no other name for it. If it were not for the gay and lesbian community, she would NEVER have been able to afford any more than one adoption on her own. If not for the government handouts, tax rebates, and other welfare handouts, she would NEVER have been able to afford anything beyond the first child. All along her path have been enablers – including the taxpayers (unwitting and involuntary enablers for sure). Truly a mess. Most if not all of the original 8 want nothing to do with her anymore….and who can blame them? She is in her early 60s and yet has several children under 5 years of age.
