A MarketPlace of Ideas

How do we fix global warming?  A tax on carbon! That’s when you see what the pathologicals are up to.  Its not education, conservation or best of them all would be some heavy duty research and development.  But no, the dem / lib / socialists want another tax.   Another tax that will be ostensibly for “investment” that will end up going towards one of there multiplicity of disdainable interest groups.  Will it be for the chilrun? They give it to the educratic unions by proxy through subsidized teacher salaries. 

Never mind that if they really believed in global warming and the enviro religious beliefs they would be doing everything they could to discourage their constituencies that breed so quickly to have few or no children.  However they like nothing more than money other than power.   If their constituents stop procreating they’ll lose power.

When it comes to things dem / lib / socialists are transparent as wino’s looking for their next drink.  Hey buddy can ya spare a dollar?  I need a drink to clear my head.

Its because they are the same person.   He’s a tranny and likes to put on womens clothing and hang around in bars.  On Sundays he goes shopping and has buttered scons for tea.

You be the judge!

The word is out on Al Gores house.   He has a 1200 dollar per month electric bill and a 1000 dollar per month gas bill. 

He claims he gets his electricity from green sources.  However if he used less he’d leave more for others to use and therefore reduce CO2 emissions that much more.  

Now you know how seriously he takes global warming.  He wears the global warming tee-shirt….but that’s about it.  He preaches economic  asceticism by proxy but do you really think he’s willing to take part in it ?  No way! 

I may be a billionaire someday.  But I’m still too cheap to pay an electric bill that is larger than many peoples mortgage.  These fancy men are not about getting their hands dirty with the proletariat.  Willie Brown the ex mayor of San Francisco ( and a dem / lib )  is reputed to have a closet the size of most peoples living rooms chock full of high dollar suits.  I can’t take these people seriously.  If you can its quite possible you need to get into the shop for a fresh calibration. 

The only one of these wankers that actually walk the walk is Ralph Nader.  But all it takes is one look to recognize this guy is a certifiable loon.  

A generalized law of power is that the powerful do not deny themselves anything.  To do so would jeopardize their power.  They rely on people having an innate sense of royalty.  

I do not follow shabby self proclaimed kings of this ilk.  Why do you ?

I prefer this kind of loon.

Here are some interesting facts

1) The catholic church busses the “landless” of Brazil around to squat on private farm land.  They militate for a hand out.

2) The catholic church is the largest landowner in Brazil. 

The natural question for the logical mind is “Why doesn’t the catholic church give the landless some land???????????”   Of course anyone with a skeptical mind knows the answer.  The catholic church is a business and businesses go belly up if they start giving things away.

Like all liberal / socialist institutions they are capitalists when it comes time for YOU to pay the bill.  They are super-socialists when its time for THEM to pay the bill.

I have it on first hand account that an organization run by the catholic church wanted to run a youth camp in Yarnell Arizona….. yet in this rather arid landscape they tried to evade paying taxes to pay for fire service.  This organization has assets in the billions and yet they wanted to knick the townspeople of Yarnell for these nickels and dimes.  

I prefer businesses that are up front about being businesses.  The funny thing is they’re usually alot more fair than this so called institution of god.   I guess you could infer this result because they are playing straight.  In life its an early lesson learned that you have to watch out for the cheaters.  Even if they are your best friend eventually they’ll turn their negative personality rays your direction.

**Disclaimer: If you are catholic, fine, its your religion.  I’m talking about the organization here, not your religion.

What do you call a pollack in a 10,000 dollar hat ?

Security was tight on Dick Cheney’s trip to Afghanistan. 

Excerpt: At least 14 people, including three foreigners, were killed in the attack, highlighting Afghanistan’s chronic instability and throwing into sharp focus the security measures that surrounded Cheney’s entire trip.

Yet when he got there a suicide bomber was ready and waiting with packed vehicle.   Now I doubt the military leaked his trip plans.  Cheney himself is too much of a together kind of guy to have been the leak.  So then by process of elimination it seems that the press managed to get the information to the Taliban somehow.

Just doing your job right Mr. Antique-Pressman?  Right we know that already.   It should be you that’s dead from that suicide bomber.  But then you don’t care 14 people die, as long as you have some event you can write some crappy story to sell.  The way you’ve treated Cheney in your writeups I have to wonder if the leak was purposeful. 

I want to repeat it here for the common everyday American to understand:

1) The press is a business.  And a business not stocked with particularly scrupulous people. 

2) These are WRITERS.  Writers are people who have no particular skill other than running their gums in the vast majority of cases. Have you ever seen how dumb some of these TV journalists are?

3) There are no heros in the press.  These guys are like fungus.  The live off other energy producing organisms while producing nothing themselves.

I propose we eliminate the press.   Stop buying newspapers.   Stop watching the cable channels……. ( all they are are commercials anyway. )

The internet is the perfect media for news.   Let’s use it to eliminate paid journalists.

Fungus, like the antique-media while colorful and interesting to look at, feeds off other organisms who actually produce something themselves.

Global warming believers - AKA Chicken Little versions of people with minds that think as deeply as a tee-shirt slogan are liberals generally speaking.   And what do we know about liberals / socialists?   We know that their have very little to do with helping the poor and much more to do with attaining power.

So when you think of India in the past the next word you thought was poor.   That’s why when

mother said “eat your asparagus! There are starving children in India!” 

You responded compassionately with  ”Let’s send it to them!!!” 

Because you knew how much they needed that asparagus. 

Having so many poor we can do a heuristic calculation.  Do you suppose there are a number of political factions that make their nut off of the poor ?   I think we can conclude this without much doubt.    So when I saw this article linked on Drudge from an Indian newspaper:  Dangerous Denial  I realized immediately what the dynamic is.

India in spite of some quite respectable progress has a significant fraction of its population that is still poor.  The dem / socialist / communist charlatans see economic progress happening at a rapid rate.  Thus it must frighten as they sense this could erode their power base.  Therefore as a way to buy time they will use global warming as a way of shunning that nasty old American productivity that lifts people out of poverty.

“Never mind that skinny starving Indian fellow,  our power base is eroding!”  is the thought going through the Indian socialists mind.   

To this thinking I respond that these Indian socialists should be force fed a truckload of asparagus.  Its the all-asparagus diet for you !

The coming 3 decades are due to be momentus with regards to what can be done with nanotech, genetic engineering and robotics.  The paralyzed will walk and we’ll take the reigns of our own evolution.  All this will be developed at a rate directly proportional to the amount of research and development budget devoted to it.   Thus if you want to find your life expectancy increased by significant amounts BEFORE you are deceased you best root for the drug companies and not congress and the bunch of Golden-Egg-Laying-Goose-Killers you’ve elected up there.

Right now with a pencil and paper can you tell me approximately how many people die every year in the USA?  

You should be able to do a good job of approximating this number without looking anything up.  This is an exercise in common sense math applied to a problem where the answer can be verified easily.   It is to demonstrate how math can and should be used to do reality checks on things you hear on the news and read wherever.

Here is how to do the approximation

1) assume to first order that the population is not growing.  Therefore:   #Births ~= #Deaths

2) Life expectancy is about 70 years.  Therefore divide up the population into 70 bins.  The probability you are in any one of the 70 bins is a uniform 1/70 to first approximation.

Therefore people are born march up in age to age 70 and die.  Remember 70 is an average so it accounts for the untimely demise of some individuals.

Thus the number of deaths per year in the USA ~= 300 million / 70 =  4.28 million people per year die

Checking CIA FactBook

Thus the measured death rate = 

14.14 * 300,000,000/1000=4,240,000

Pretty close!

Now you know why I’m so damned sure of myself on certain issues.  Using logic and math one can often blow gaping holes in political arguments. Once I do this often in my mind the politician is also discredited to a degree or another.  Global warming has lent itself to this type of argument.  It has been discredited totally in my calculations.

Pim Fortuyn - quite an interesting character.   From wikipedia:

He said he was neither right wing nor left wing, asked for more openness in politics, and expressed his distaste for what he called “subsidy socialism”. He furthermore criticised the media as a Siamese twin of the government.

This of course is comical in that ALL socialism is Subsidy-Socialism.  ALL of it.  Just because I magically deign that one cause is the grandest of them all does not make it so.  One mans great cause is another mans cursed plague.  There is only one true great cause and that is of having the very least government possible.  This is because one mans non-cause is not another mans hated cause.

Socialism is bad.  It is corruption institutionalized.  This is because ALL socialism is subsidy-socialism.

I’m going to put a compendium of remedies for headaches in this post.  I get enough vascular headaches that I’ve learned what’s effective at getting rid of them.   In my case especially in past years I have a high natural level of dopamine in my system.  This naturally occurring neurochemical is responsible for aggressive focus.  

I find that after athetically aggressive activities I can end up waking up with a headache day after day.  Wow is that wearing.  After further research I determined that anything that elevates my dopamine to higher levels will many times result in a headache the next morning when I wake up.  Very similar to a rebound effect that you get when you use coffee and then don’t drink it.

1) Smoke a cigarette - No need to inhale here.  Save your lungs.  You can simply use it like a cigar.  The nicotene dissolves in the saliva and is absorbed.   Use only when you have a headache and you’ll find cigarettes can be your friend instead of your enemy.

2) Up your blood sugar level.  If your blood sugar is low its very hard to rid yourself of a headache.

3) Drink some coffee - This drug is a monkey on my back.  I found it messes with my heart rate / blood pressure / blood sugar / sleep habits.  I’ve had to give it up.  Maybe you are lucky and do not have a problem with it.  I’ve always been an adrenaline driven person.  Caffiene is an adrenaline re-uptake inhibitor.  All this said if I have a real banger caffiene can help.  This is a last resort item for me.

4)  Exercise - By warming up my brain I can change the blood flows and increase the dopamine in my brain.  This by far the most effective headache killer.   It requires more time though.   Dangerous side effect is that you’ll keep in really good shape.  In fact now that I have mellowed a little bit I’ve found myself in need of more conditioning !
