A MarketPlace of Ideas                        

Point by Point

1- Minister?  We want a politician AND a minister?  Can you say bullshit squared????

2- National sales tax???  You have to be joking.  Replace the income tax with a sales tax ??? 

     The headlines will read this way:  Only 2 years after the income tax was repealed and replaced with a national sales tax it is back.  In a terrible budget pinch house Democrats have re-instituted the income tax. When asked if they would be repealing the national sales tax they replied ” You are joking right? ….Now on to figure out how we get the last 25% of private income in the USA…..” 

Get real.  We have no Ronald Reagan in the crowd of Republican hopefuls.  However goofy Guiliani and Romney are better than this charlatan.  Have you not gotten the idea of the kind of politician that comes out of Arkansas yet?  

And a minister?…are you joking?  These type like a strange type of power.  The type of power to fill minds with their words.  The power to get women to pray to god on their knees in the closet with you.  ( you’re standing )

This smells like some sort of made up scenario the press rolls out.  Same thing that made Dean and McCain actually appear to be contenders.    When will the bullshit end?

Here is what will be written 20 years from now about MMGW:

Man made global warming was an extensive hoax perpetrated by an unplanned conspiracy of Government, anti-capitalist and climate scientists that received government moneys to “study” climate.  Indeed the latter of the 3 was induced to create ever more dire warnings in order to maintain the same level or increased level of funding. 

In this life many people will tell you stories.  Hollywood is at least partially honest in that their stories are openly termed FICTION.   You must be on guard and develop both your ability to spot untruth and sense of humor similtaneiously.   I have done this for you in the case of MMGW.  Here is the take away:

MMGW is the repackaging of the old child’s story Chicken-Little.  This is where the little chicken goes around claiming the sky is falling.  Seen from this perspective you can laugh at the lie.  

If you need more help attaining this perspective there are quite a few tutorials in this blog helping you understand how to think like an engineer.  Its not easy.  Engineering is probably the hardest subject to study.  It is also the hardest to be good at once done and practicing in the field.   What you develop is a mind to sort out clues from assorted and widely varied sources.  When accomplished you can sort truth from fiction in a way that no common person can perform.  In fact these common people not having the skill will often tout you as wrong and say “how can you say that???”    But if you work hard to sharpen your mental knife you will find yourself cutting sacred ideas to ribbons.
