A MarketPlace of Ideas                        

The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance.
Marcus Tullius Cicero - 55 BC

Read the story of Cicero.   mmm….2000 years and nothing has changed.  We’re doomed. 

I just installed the Global Translator PlugIn.   This plugin uses an online translation service such as googles to translate all your blog entries and place the static translation of  them in a cache folder.   If you use the Google XML Sitemaps Generator for WordPress   your foreign language versions of your blog pages will be indexed by google.  With this blog being translated into over 30 languages its likely a increase in web traffic will result.  I’ll be sure to report back to you on the results.   

The online translators can be goofy at times with their results being quite humorous.    You should expect your posts to be understandable by someone with good reading skills but not completely correct by any means.

The translated cache directory is here.   … after having this installed for a week I had 1500 translations. Unfortunately the authoer decided to update the plugin. At that time he changed the location in the directory structure of the translations.  When I updated the plugin in my installation the process wiped out all of my translations! Not good. I’ll have to wait more time now.  I was planning on donating if and when my blog traffic went up.  That is dependent on google indexing said translations which results in significant amount of time before said increases are seen.  This is one thing the author needs to avoid doing in the future. I already have 1000 entries in my blog.  Its going to take long time for all of them to get done!

	Italian		Spanish		Bulgarian		Polish		Hebrew		Slovenian
	Korean		Japanese		Czech		Rumanian		Indonesian		Ukrainian
	Chinese		Arabic		Croat		Swedish		Latvian		Vietnamese
	Portuguese		Russian		Danish		Norwegian		Lithuanian
	German		Greek		Finnish		Catalan		Serbian
	French		Dutch		Hindi		Filipino		Slovak

Coming later a language by language evaluation of how well the translator works. 

According to Obama-Black peoples conditions are the fault of White People.  Tax whitey….he can pay for everything. 

The problem I have with black political leaders is:

• Nothing is ever their fault
• Nothing is ever their responsibility
• They never champion hard work
• They always blame the white man
• When given the opportunity they do not push teaching math / science but rather "community organizing"

I am athiest.  I am not my brothers keeper.  I have no moral duties other than the logical ones that keep me out of jail.  I do not care about you.  I care about my friends.   Be truthful and admit that is how you function also.  Its not humanly possible to love 6 billion people.   I am not responsible for the condition of blacks.   They are individually each and every one of them.  The condition of any given black is that blacks responsibility.  Do not even think about sending me the bill.  Don’t expect me to be concerned.  If you do then forward your address so I can send a list of things I care about to you and expect you to be concerned.  That’s reciprocity and unless you are some power mad pyscho you understand that which expect of others, others may reasonably expect of you.

And if you think I owe anyone reparations you are also wrong.  I am owed reparation for my great great great grandfather who died in the Ohio regiments during the civil war.  He gave his life eliminating slavery.  So let’s call it even and forget all the stupid ideas.

In this second video he talks about redistribution of wealth among the formerly dispossessed(read slavery).  If you understand the political speak it clearly expresses that he is in favor of reparations.

 Parallel Port Central  - refers to inpout.dll which I used to drive the input output through the parallel port on the mirror machine project.

I had a rash a few years ago called pityriasis rosea.  It burns and itches at the same time and it lasts for 3 monthes! Ooh joy.   Its a viral bug and I ended up asking a friend that had herpes if I could try one of their valtrex ( aciclovir ) pills.  Sure enough it really improved the rash and best of all improved the burning itching feeling!   

So I went to the doctor and got a script for aciclovir.   I used it minimally because I knew the sooner my system beat this rash the sooner it was out for good. 

Since then I have found that aciclovir can really lesson the effects of the common cold or flu.  When I have felt a flu or cold coming on I simply pop a half a pill.  It delays the full onset of symtoms by about 2 days.  In those two days my immune system is learning the virus.  Thus what happens is the cold never gets really bad.   Since my system already "knows" the virus before it reproduces alot it never has a chance to get out of hand and cause alot of discomfort.

Turns out Aciclovir is a broad spectrum antiviral in the same sense that penicillin is a broad spectrum antibiotic.  It is one of the 3 antiviral drugs used in the 3 drug cocktail used against aids so thus one could have deduced this property.

I have noticed the commercials on television for valtrex they suggest that if a person with herpes takes valtrex they can lower the odds of their sex partner without herpes from catching it.  The part that I find strange is that they do recommend that the person without herpes take valtrex.  I think its probably a good idea.   Maybe they are not allowed to say it.  Maybe they do not want to be seen recommending people take a prescription drug whilst currently not having herpes.  It seems dumb though.  If I dated a girl with herpes I would be taking valtrex to avoid infection. 

A good practical joke if you live in a dorm or have a roomate is the following.   Before your roomate gets up in the morning you arrange to set all the clocks in the house ahead by one hour.  Choose a time of year such that one hour ahead will still be light out or dark out depending on the time of year.  This is most likely to occur in mid summer - light or mid winter - dark.   Usually winter works best because people are more sleepy in the winter.

Your roomate will awake when their alarm goes off.  Seeing all the clocks in the house ahead they go about their normal routine.  When they get to school no one will be there!  Its been known to work however choose your victim wisely.

Ever think about Ghost Riders?  Why aren’t ghost riders enough?  Why do they have to be in the sky?  Like I wouldn’t be scared of a plain on ghost rider on the ground.   Although I would like to see that horse WildFire but don’t expect me to go run calling his name because we all know how that ends up.

As an American I am ashamed of how the USA used bureaucratic speed bumps to thwart the Concorde.   Now a new company is planning a supersonic transport aircraft.

What I want to know is the size of the carbon feety boots that this aircraft will have?   Al Gore will have to pray 10X times per day instead of 5 whilst pointed towards the north pole for penance of using one of these.

Power the phone up.  Wait for PowerOn msg.  Hit 7 and 9 together.  Then hit Menu, Snd, End, Rcl, Sto, Clr.  Phone says good timing!  Rather humorous wouldn’t you say?   http://www.phreak.org/archives/radiophone/oki/DEBUG.DOC

So when you talk on your cell phone…. Talk as though you know there is someone listening because there could be.

Sayet takes an analytic approach to liberal thinking. I think he left out the old "What’s in it for me?" attitude that liberals overflow with.

When he talks about the 70’s remember most of the sixties happened in the seventies.
