DISQUS

The crimes against societies by large multi-national corporate formed vulture capitalist entities are a heinous list of atrocities that would nauseate even Adolf Hitler, and give Stalin reason to blush! BUT: We tolerate and even support these activities for a ROI on our retirement investments! and we are not that far isolated from their treachery against humanity and the environment! Read carefully the mandate of a "Corporation" and realize, they serve, enforced by American laws, the "Shareholders" first and foremost - and are sworn to make them money - first and "only" obligation! collateral damage doesn't count in a board-room! Shareholders votes have more power in forming where mankind is directed than your political vote will ever have! ( Do you know who, by name, holds your "proxy" votes? Who is responsible for what your money does?) Money talks! With some forms of Social Democracy, such as in Canada, Sweden and Norway, corporate behavior is modified, even limited, but in the unregulated vulture capitalism characteristic of the U.S.A., the corporation rules, the ROI is GOD and all else falls to the wayside as collateral damage, interference, and messy, manipulated, long drawn out, nonsensical, lawsuits destined to be lost by all! This is the law of the American marauding corporate jungle! If one corporation does not commit atrocities for profit another will! Monsanto has Bayer to contend with, and an equally poisonous herbicide to "Round-Up", and so on and on it goes, and until a "Noble Prince", like Obama can put a stick into the legalese that promotes this behavior, and trip it up, Americans, and the people of the world will suffer! We need to move away from the sick vulture capitalist's grip on our throats and invoke Socialisms, Democratic Socialisms - not commie crap!. As it is, the sickest of the vultures are now capitalized on the Beijing, Shanghai, and Hong Kong markets in "YUAN", awaiting in safety their, for the impending crash of the American "sawbuck" and futher rape of the American Middle Class, and chuckling mightly at the prospect of selling "their" Chinese built cars to Yankee Doddle, now that they are not financing him to build his own, He is the biggest sucker ever born, and watch those redicuously inflated prices on the imports as the dollar falls and the "Yuan" soars! Bring your own grease to this party "Yankee Doodle Dandy", you are the guest of honor, if getting reamed repeatedly is an honor! CYA!

Almost UnAmerican! Having fun and good exercise too! How very Japanese, almost as well done as their cars.

Please donate your old boxes to a church-group or some needy student in these hard times! To comply with the law, and with Microsoft's leasing policy, you can now replace Microsoft OS with the free (download from the net) Ubuntu OS, which can be set to erase the hard drive of all traces of the “illegal to give away ” Microsoft system and your private information, before donation! Now, explain to your lucky recipient that all the manuals they will ever need are available for free on the internet! Just ask for them in Google! OpenOffice, which is installed already is plenty adequate for homework assignments and with a little exploring, everything else can work well too! Happy computing!

One day, when the astoundingly propagandized arrogant and omnipotently misaligned American realizes, that the "Great Fire Wall of China" is one built mostly of indifference to an inferior and relatively small minority, rather than a government's deliberate attempt to stop the flow of intelligence, once, the American citizen sees that to an Asian world, he and his whole sick society are a passing fancy and but a speck of soiling to be wiped away with the appropriate paper product,and flushed in the usual manner, once self-consumed, well brainwashed get over themselves, the rest of the world will seem an inviting and friendly place. The "Wall" is in the eye of the beholder - Asia, "just is" regardless of your posturing and positioning to it. Wake up America! You are no longer "number One" in fact, you never were! You just convinced yourself of this in your adolescence, and once the pimples are gone from your face, you will become beautiful again. Remember, we are old and wrinkled and full of compassion, tolerance and understanding now, and we hide nothing from you, no matter what you want, or are wanted to believe!

With no new America to escape to we will succumb to the evil we left Europe to escape, save for the Chinese fact - they own and operate our Uber-rich upper class and they hate them with communist fervor and will do everything in their power to eliminate them! Saved by the Chinese communists the first time they hesitate to lend the U.S. Ponzie Scheme Fiat money bullshit system any more money and stall the U.S. economy cold - or the day they OK even larger loans, destabilizing and devaluing the "Almighty Dollar" to toilet paper values - either way the Uber -Rich go away with no game- board to play on! Proof of this cockamamie logic? China took GM down and they don't even know it yet! SEE:
“The astounding Chinese have epoched the great GM, of U.S.A. in producing an Electric/gas/plug-in car! They are driving them in the streets of China as we speak, they will be retailed in the U.S.A. by 2011, they will cost half the price of a "Volt" and they are "On Order" for Israel! GM, take a deep breath, your naughty parts have just been cut off by a Chinese high-tech competitor, and the "Volt" is still "Vapor-ware"!” See:http://www.cleantech.com/news/3983/chinas-byd-sells-first-mass-produced-plug-cars
The Chinese will never "bow down" to American corporate bullshit, they will, as they did the 'milk tainters' in their own country, line them up, blood type them for organ transplant, and kill them on the spot, something we in America should be doing on Wall Street to anyone convictable of aiding and abetting the downfall of the greatest nation in the world for personal profit - we need to bring out Treason laws and apply them liberally to the corporate crews that do our nation harm, Monsanto included - When the Anarchy breaks, expect lynch mobs, and the Uber Rich blood to flow in the streets! It is Historical, the oppressed rise up against all odds when the insult is big enough, and "string up" their oppressors! In darker corners of America today there are "List-Makers" keeping track of the offenders, and when the sh*t hits the fan, they will not go unpunished!

With this amazing level of talent loose in the world, one would think the "cheap Oil " crisis a simple problem and retrieving Mercury from contaminated places, mere child's play! we really need better nuclear reactors, ones that have no waste products and work at low, pressure free, levels and present no danger to the public, and while these geniuses are at it, can they find a more efficient battery for electric cars? We need GMOed food that grows in the back yard, trouble free, for a free vegan diet for all Americans! How about developing a faster more efficient bacteria to reduce sewage to bio-gas and a safe fertilizer sludge? We desperately need a better method for extracting coal from the ground, heat from the coal, and disposal of the ash! A convincing paper on revamping the rail system is in order, since most other countries have taken the lead, and left America with a rail system patterned after 1800's British systems, right down to the width of the cars! Goddamn are we dumb! Mosquitoes are not a big problem in America, the economy is! Where's the intelligentsia when we need a new economic system? Out in Africa killing mosquitoes with lasers for Bill Gates? We are soooo screwed!

Is the great republican depression (GRD) a forerunner to the Second Great Depression? Will the American dollar lose its status as world currency? Will the Chinese Wan supersede it? Can America make the required adjustments to sustainability without revolt or a split-up of the Union? Now with a nuclear Pakistan in disarray, the U.S. weakened to point of breaking and China indifferent to the outside world, Iran breathing heavily on a nuclear Israel, will we face nuclear holocaust? Why does the Mayan calendar end 2012? Is there an Energy Miracle in the pipes for the power hungry wastrels, the Americans? Who will the American military plunder for oil next? Why can't I sleep at night?

The folks at the bottom of the pyramid have gotten very tired. They have laid down their tools, given up the noble "Family" notion, tossed morals to the wind, no longer seek "steady employment', couldn't give a damn about churches , have found pot, booze, and cocaine. Can't afford health care and have let it slide, Won't ever try to "own" a home, they know it is just a con, Look on jails for food and shelter when the streets get cold or rough, Live in cars, vans, cardboard boxes, hidden corners in cities, anywhere cheap, and every day the "disenfranchised", join the "disenchanted", hardening themselves for death or revolution, no matter, the consequence is the same. America, the base of your pyramid is crumbling fast!

You mean some dumb f++k is going to pay for what teenagers do in back lanes nightly? Better tell those little hotties what their puss is really worth, better yet, tell their parents, and they will soon be "on the block" Like in poorer countries! I hear oil barons like fresh young meat and they have the big bucks, why not fix the balance of trade, avoid recession and get the Corvettes and Cadillacs back on the road! Are we overlooking a natural resource here? American girls bleed before their teens, are "ripe and ready" sooner than most, due to the hormones and antibiotics laced meats and don't mature mentally until much later. Right now we use them to provide little soldiers for the oil barons of the Middle East, to play war games in Iraq and Afghanistan, and fight dirty little Sunnis wars et al, Why not let the girls do their part and bring in the cash! Get out you crack-pipes Mom and Pop America, I think I have the problem solved - Now send sonny down to the corner for a bag of weed while I send this to CNN!

Now with the variety of OS being offered of the Linux genre, computers can be custom-sized for specific usage, and we no longer have to carry around huge "Package Deal" systems! A whole OS can be put on a single sub strip, and moved from computer to computer legally! I no longer have to drag around all of Windows and its baggage when all I need is Abi, a small, fast word-processor and some memory left for my documents! The rest can be had on the web when and if needed, but for a portable situation great size and weight reduction improvements can now be made. Love it!

And once you go through all the details required to pump oil, mine uranium or coal or build windmills and huge solar electric desert plants, only the Solar, Wind, Tidal, Wave and geothermal are perpetual producers, and for maintenance costs only, will produce energy flows for mankind as long as mankind lasts! I grew up in a Gold mining district, and believe me, once the gold is gone, so is the civilization around it, but not so for particularly Solar and Wind developments in desert regions! If we can do the upkeep, and design in good conscience (almost an UnAmerican concept now-a days!) with no planned obsolescence or other capitalistic trickery, then, for maintenance costs only, we will get power forever! Utopian? Altruistic? Unreal? not really, just look at the Hoover Dam, and no pollution, no nuclear waste to dispose, and for maintenance only, she still produces power and will for many years!

Communal, clustered and convenient. Humanured sewage, collective heating, cooling, collective gardening, a few worker-bees going outside the hive for new resources, totally connected by internet to other communities, solar, wind, wave powered, Aquacultured protein, train, bus or maglev connected, population controlled, A new way for mankind in the 21st century!

Crooks
The Americans were caught with their hand in the cookie jar! They are little better than crooks and thugs! The OPEC folks and the Saudis no longer trust the American sawbuck, and are looking to the Euro, so are the Chinese and Russians! Dishonest business practices abroad are one thing, but the thievery and usury at home has left American folks with foreclosures, unemployment, and rising oil prices coupled to a military/defense runaway cost plus situation! Personal credit in the U.S. is at an all time high and is forced ever upward by a senseless psycho-consumer mentality! The (GRD) great republican depression is upon us and we will pay for the Bush follies for a long, long time! Re-definition of the “American Dream” and other more drastic paradigm shifts in social philosophy are about to wrench the soul of the American people and all western civilization for that matter! The base, capitalism, as we know it will not survive! Oil in the middle east is running low, and our very lifestyles are based on cheap oil! We are soooo f**ked!

Now, instead of using fire, use solar energy! Use collected solar energy from a battery source, or direct, mirrored solar energy, or direct, magnifying glass concentrated solar energy, or even Wind charged or wave charged batteries! Now place the fridge underground in cooler soil leftover from night time cool off, and super insulate the cooling chamber! Do we have a free and Perpetual source of refrigeration Yet? Certainly not by American housewives standards, but the (GRD) great republican depression is in the process of kicking this environmentally unsound royalty off their thrones! In the mean time, we of the third world will survive well with any refrigeration possible and I am certain that an Asian household would not turn their noses up at this chance!

Obama has jumped into deficit spending, both feet, hook,line and sinker! America must be in some grave trouble to him to do that! Even China is having second thoughts on lending money to the U.S.A.! The war in Iraq is a mess. Think of your sons and daughters and grandchildren every time you use foreign oil! If not for unstated but very true facts of American life and the foreign oil supply, Iraq would never have happened! It is a Saudi obligation completed! As oil grows scarcer in the world, the Saudi and OPEC demands get higher! Who do we invade next to appease them, Iran, or do we give up Israel to make them happy enough to ship oil to our shores? We must quit this "mercenary for oil" position and get real about Wind see reference below:
There is as much wind power potential (900,000 megawatts) off our coasts as the current capacity of all power plants in the United States combined, according to a new report entitled, A Framework for Offshore Wind Energy Development in the United States, sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy, Massachusetts Technology Collaborative, and General Electric. http://www.capecodtoday.com/news246.htm01/01/09
And remember:
If the U.S. had chosen to be a moral people, and leaving Iraqi oil alone, and following Al Gore, decided to develop the South Western deserts, with the technology of the times - solar/thermal-molten sodium - electricity installations, for the same amount of money as that war cost, ($650 Billion), today, we would be tapping into the largest, renewable, sustainable, PERPETUAL, energy source the world has ever known. It would have paid every energy bill in the U.S.A. for maintenance fees only - FOREVER! It would be equivalent to an oil field that can NEVER run dry! Low cost electric power, and storeable hydrogen gasoline replacement from the electricity, for all!
After the millions of murders, and $650 billions of dollars, borrowed from our children’s futures and pissed away, with thousands of our own and others maimed and disfigured for life, millions of families utterly destroyed, ours and theirs, we are no closer to Iraqi oil production than the Iraqis are!
The next time you hear a blithering idiot spoiled brat, drunken, drug addicted, sociopath, rich Arabic saber dancing daddie’s boy oilman, stand at a microphone and threaten YOUR safety with someone ELSE’S weapons, remember what you lost America, remember, and weep! (also see http://www.sciam.com/article.cfm?id=a-solar-gra...)
And, Whats a dollar really worth you ask?
Under the US Mint Act of 1792, the dollar was pegged at 24.75 grains of gold. There are 480 grains in a troy ounce. Thus it took 19.4 US dollars to purchase a single troy ounce of gold. As of Feb 23, 2007 it takes nearly 863 US dollar to purchase that same troy ounce of gold, representing a 97.8% drop in value!
We are so close to being flat broke it is laughable! The (GRD) great republican depression is upon us and we don't even realize it!

Ubuntu is already free, forever! and loads onto any computer, even poor peoples computers that are older and slower!

The (GRD) great republican depression is upon us! Wall St. crashed, banks are closing, credit is tightening around our necks, gasoline is about to go through the roof because OPEC decided to pump less causing a shortage and price hikes for themselves, Obama's plan is to print Trillions of dollars, robbing any value left in the sawbuck and stealing from our creditors, our last great manufactories-the car builders are hat in hand for socialist handouts from the government while the people go hungry in the streets, most jobs have gone "off-shore" to Asians who can work for less because they payno taxes and do not support huge expensive social structures like American workers - when is the last time a Chinaman had to pay a $200.00 traffic ticket?, the remaining money in the country is rapidly converting to Euros, our food supply is so poisoned some countries refuse to eat it (S.Korea + Mexico)! China actually exports food to the U.S., the military/industrial complex breaks our backs with taxes, we fight as mercenaries for Saudi oil in Iraq, scarce jobs of low quality in service industries at part time level or "occasional" for University graduates are discouraging a generation of Americans, America has more people in prison per capita than all other countries and most are black?, one in four of our teenage daughters, count'em 1 in 4 have STDs, our meat is so contaminated with hormones the government buries statistics that show hormones forced extremely early puberty is at epidemic levels,to qualify as desirable an American woman must be a surgically altered Barbie Doll mindless sex object, psychotic consumerism is an ideal and a goal for Americans,Americans are forced to work for private tyrannies called corporations and most often forbidden by coersion to form unions, Universal health care is suppressed by the upper class to give them a "lever od oppression" against the average "free" American citizen - even returning veterans are imprisoned and enslaved in this oppressive way, The post GRD world will equalize all these things. We will all live in Shanty-towns. America because of the greed of the ruling uber-class will look like the former U.S.S.R. does today! It is already happening before our eyes! Look t the closed steel mills, closed factory buildings, Detroit City, the Ohio valley! then look on this same internet at the photos of Russian ruins today - same pictures, different time frame! A handful of photos if disenfranchised Americans is just an indicator of what is to come!Once our riches have been raped and safely packaged away in Dubai and other safe havens, and the sly shylocks are safely jetted away, we will spend a century mopping up behind them! We left our countries of origin for a better life, and in three or four generations, a new "ruling Class has evolved and raped us of our very lives! we are back to the GRD and folks ride the rails to survive emotionally from the beating the upper class bastards have put on their very souls! And this time we have nowhere to emigrate to!

Local News rag lays off! Fliers increase! Magazines die! The internet and TV broadcasting take over! Save a tree, see the news on TV! - Now we can record anything cheaply, and no one does! This is good for landfills, bad for recyclers. Newspapers have had their day! They are so 18 th Century! - like McMansions and land-yacht cars! Digital, with color and stereo sound at your fingertips is hard to beat! Girls are pretty on huge LCD screens, race cars look better too! The sounds are fantastic! Gone are the days of the paperboy, trudging through the snowbanks to bring you yesterdays news in smelly black and white print, and gone are the days when we payed 25 cents for hand services too!

I'm waiting for WalMart to sell me a propane conversion kit for my gas lawn mower! Gasoline stinks, and we import it from unhappy countries! We have our own natural gas, and propane, so if we all converted, the air would be cleaner, our trade imbalance improved, our lungs would suffer less, and terrorists would be deprived of money! this is a win, win, win, win for America and needs to be advertised as such, Bravo!

Can I make a "hamburger" out of kangaroo? Pork in Canada is cheap, but most our good beef goes to the hungry Americans! I betcha the Chinese will pay top dollar for good tasting protein, and they won't turn their noses up at it either! Trade it for some of their cool cars!

Super bike, Hell no! put a plastic cover over the driver and passenger and sell it to the poor Yanks who really need a super-commuter that gets really good mileage and can bypass gridlock, is easy to park downtown and is cheap to buy - Even better, power it with a German turbo diesel, with hybrid, plugin electric drive and solve the transportation cost dillema for the entire U.S.A.!

What if, by careful exploitation of the latest technologies and healthy restriction of your demands, you could reduce them to the point where a smaller system would prove adequate? What if a "zero operating cost, zero upkeep" shelter could be devised? Can we really survive on less? off the land? Does modern technology offer a free lifestyle hitherto unknown to mankind? Have we ever seriously explored this avenue? Are we hell bent on gross overconsumption for its own sake? Is there a different way to see life? A modest windmill for sure, but good enough to compliment other technologies of survival? And what has the government and industry hidden from us? The Great Depression is upon us, we must find better ways to survive, and soon!
