The scientific quest for room temperature superconductors made progress in 2010. Scientists using a variety of material including plastic discovered new materials and methods for creating superconductivity. As the temperature increases for superconducting materials the cost of cooling the wire to create the superconducting effect decreaases. Presently the baseline for 'what works' is about 321 degrees below zero. That sounds cold, yet one needs good insulators to contain a liquified gas coolant.
2G HTS (high temperature superconductor) wire has allowed superconduction with less than .5% loss of electrons because of resistance at temperatures as high as -77 degrees Kelvin.
Because global warming effects the north more extremely than temperature areas it is worthwhile liberating Alaska cities first from reliance upon coal, oil and gas fuel sources. Electrical energy created by non-traditional alternative energy technologies coupled with extremely efficient, low resistant super-conducting wire networks should be particularly developed in locations in Anchorage, Fairbanks and other Alaskan cities esopecially contributing to high latitude global warming gassing/emmissions. As when summoning help from a crowd to call for emergency medical relief, it is best to address one particular person rather than to just general ask of all for none are then responsible sometimes. Without developing complete cities to alternative energy power to serve as national examples of fossil fuel-free energy living, it is likely that congress will pettyfog the needed transition for decades or at least until the New World Order owns all of the newer infrastructure for their profit and the nation's wage servitude.
Temperatures of minus 321 degrees Fahrenheit are readily achievable with liquid nitrogen and hydrogen. It would be helpful is some global warming greenhouse gases could be extracted from the atmosphere and used for cooling superconductors-though improbable.
Regular power lines lose as much as 7% power to resistance in the line. Superconductor independence effectively means national energy independence. Wind, solar, and fuel cell electric power input to super-conductor storage loops should be able to meet U.S. energy needs without redundant wastage through use of inefficient power lines. Select corridors and urban areas would most effectively respond to increased energy transmission efficiency.
The cities of Anchorage and Fairbanks Alaska could be used for federal experimental 100% superconducting and alternate energy input cities.

OPED on the Tucson Shootings and Political Feeding Frenzy
Political killings of vulnerable American politicians are an historical fact of life. From Abraham Lincoln to McKinley and mayoral candidate Moscone of San Francisco unusual reason emerge to send assassins forward with whatever weapon is convenient to terminate the object of their interest. The mass shootings in Tucson Arizona including a U.S. Representative, Federal Judge and a nine year old are part of the price of a free society.
Just across the Mexican-American border in a society with tight gun controls more than 30,000 people have been killed in a narco turf war the past four years. One of the reasons that violence dominates in that gun controlled society is that much of the vigorously healthy and intelligent Mexican working force flees northward to Arizona to take jobs. As many as 4000 Mexicans cross each day into Arizona on their way to seek work in Tucson, Phoenix, Main, South Carolina, Chicago, California and elsewhere.
U.S. politicians and left-leaning media commentators ask for tighter regulation of the rabble and gun sales that threaten the continuing concentration of wealth in the United States. Mayor Bloomberg of New York-A billionaire has demanded stricter gun controls on those that threaten the concentration of wealth and peoniozation of the populace. Incredibly, many commentators believe that political rhetoric causes the eccentric shooter to move to kill a politicians rather than prevailing social conditions.
In a nation with 10 to 20% real unemployment, with 20 to 30 million illegal aliens and not much hope for many American youth for prosperity and with a concentration of wealth supported even by the Democratic Party in the recent approval of continued tax cuts for the super-rich it does not seem strange that at least one youth would statistically break free and throw away his future in a society in which he may believe their is no manifest employment destiny.
Jared Lee Loughner may be a left-leaning loser snapping after the tax cuts for the rich and Democratic support for amnesty for illegal aliens or not. Each of America's major parties is supportive of the rich and of globalism. The media is owned by the rich and is just a two sides of the same coin bickering back and forth playing with the rights and welfare of the poor and lower middle class. Neither presents a competent prospect for readjustment of the national economic infrastructure to move toward full employment-a concept evidently lost in the 1970s with Hubert H. Humphrey.

Trans-Alaska Oil Pipeline Flow Reduced 95%
The trans-Alaska oil pipeline flow from the North Slope to Valdez Alaska and tidewater has been 95% halted because of a leak at pump station # 1. The pump stations begin with one on the North Slope and increase in number toward Valdez.
The oil pipeline has been sendiing about 630,000 barrels of Alaska sweet crude each day south giving the state of Alaska a royalty fee of about 18 million of the 50 million dollar value of each day's flow. With the pipeline flow radically reduced to just 5% of the usually while an effort is made to construct a bypass pipeline around the leaking spot under pump station number one the dependence of the Alaska state government upon oil corporation payouts and federal flummery is too plain.
Even Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) is complaining out the reduction in oil flow and state oil income. Alaska should have superconducting storage loops, geothermal and solar power hi-tech instead of all the carbonic fossil fuel reliance. The United State has a similar reliance upon OPEC oil and illegal alien labor acting as governors on the U.S. economy preventing prosperity for the nation's poor.

The Spiritually Homeless
Such Sunday topics as beheadings and head shots are unfortunate. The 3rd century Christian father Origen was tortured with his legs pulled apart three paces on the rack. I guess we can thus recognize political discourse on a Sunday as reasonable in a time when so many of us are spiritually homeless in America.
If all of the members of Congress were shot through the head the collective I.Q. might not decrease much. If the U.S. Congress were not such a bunch of wealthy and out of touch people they might comprehend why poor Americans care that illegal aliens roam at will over the border to take jobs.
In prior times revolutions occurred that liquidated inherent politicians. In America today such though it unthinkable as it would sully the profitable lifestyles of the rich and famous.
A church built with a priesthood of believers would give the spiritually homeless someplace to go. The churches of greed are full of SUV's and people wishing like a Sokka Gakki meeting for material things. The spiritual well being of the faithful should have a reflecting social, work and well being network able to share without obvious charity except in mutual service the produce of their labors. Spiritual savings and material savings ought to have a priesthood of believers savings bank tithed by the people of the priesthood.
There are many paradoxes about a nation as wealthy as the U.S.A. that runs a 14 trillion dollar debt and has a political class that does not feel the pain of the unemployed. One might wish for an ideal, utopian society of free enterprise, full employment, secure borders and a recovering national environment and gets a lot of loutish globalists without any sort of nationalistic, patriotic good sense.
Mexico has more beheadings than Al Qa'eda, more people killed in the past four years per capita than did America in Vietnam and the Korean conflicts combined, and the U.S. congress supports tax cuts for the rich, concentration of wealth and dim prospects for employment for the young and old.
Republicans in Congress should design their own, better health care system and try to advance it before just cancelling the corporatist, omnibus health care slop the Democrats foisted upon the nation (leaving the poor out in the cold generally).
It is a tragedy that political violence serves to remind the public of the pervasive, incompetent incoherence of congressional budgeting and national economic defense since the end of the Regan administration. I hope the Speaker of the House does not cry tearfully in speeches in the House ahead. Men crying in politics are not at all helpful, really.
The skull and crossbones nature of the U.S. economy and its concentration of wealth through globalism, corporatism and an absurdly low 36% tax rate could be paralleled by unloyal citizen entrepreneurs. An equivalent video game equivalence of outsourcing of industry might be a 'Kill the Millionaire' game in which points are won for shooting millionaire footballers, basketballers, CEO's, Congress and business people in their own 'work' environments with a variety of weapons. Yet if someone wrote up such a game and became a millionaire themself they might run the risk of be perceived as hypocritical if they are not included in the game. Real millionaires and congresspersons ought to really consider the real financial interests of their constituents too in failing to prioritize their real interests. If it weren't for the fact that it costs more than a million to run for congress, voters might exact political corrections at the ballot box.

About a Ten Dimension Universe
One might wonder where the extra six dimensions-and an extra six directions- are. Analytical geometers can construct a theoretical hyper dimensional object and make consistent inferences regarding its properties such as relatively speaking, the Pythagorean Theorem provides for triangles and object constructed from them. The particles and waves of quantum mechanics haven’t got a comprehensive, in depth mathematical explanation quite yet that tie in to gravity and other large, solid state physics features of the universe, so the mathematics of hyper-dimensional geometry has taken its turn (ref. the Shape of inner Space by Yau and Nadis 2010).
What one finds in reading about extra dimensional space-presently generally thought of as ‘small dimensions’ are a world of ideas of construction of dimensions generally.
Our three ‘large’ dimensions of space may be tied onto a string of smaller dimensions like leaves, or not. Myriad analogies exist to describe the way an extra six dimensions of space fundamentally made of strings could cohere in association with our three dimensions of space. It may be that the dimension of time transcends the nine dimensions of space in what fundamentally could be a ten dimensional universe.
Like the tip of an iceberg compared to the mass-energy of these three dimensions the bulk of matter and energy may be hidden below the surface in these smaller, extra six dimensions. Its’ only one theoretical approach however, and the limits of such extra-dimensional constructions of geometry could be unlimited and of course presently unknown.
Geometrical models of the quantum mechanical world must be internally consistent and then find some consistence with observed behavior of quanta. Some string theory actually predicts gravity in addition to just describing a formula relation to space-time, mass and energy. With mass and energy flowing into six extra dimensions the possibilities of its behavior in that realm is unknown too. If size is relative, could there be corresponding real echo world realities within those six dimensions albeit of a smaller comparative size?
It is something of a paradox than any dimension might be regarded as being ‘small’ if they are infinite yet compact. One would expect the smaller dimensions to change in scale in a way comparable to the expansion of our three spatial dimensions.
The basic particle of string theory is said to be a string. String may combine or be stretched out in different dimensions to form sheets, spheres, loops, branes, membranes and hyper-dimensional Calibi-Yau manifolds or non-Kohler structures. One might obviously ask ‘what is a string made of ?’.
Basically one has a quanta of being-the string- and nothingness. The string or abundance of strings at the beginning might have been cut from the same ball of yarn into myriad little pieces that reassemble as best they can forming complex hyper-dimensional shapes in the process that seems to be the three dimensions of space-time we live in. Time is something of an enigma. As a dimension without space dimensions what would it be?
The vast number of potential configurations of strings as basic quanta that may serve to assemble cosmological theories and large-scale units of assembly can be narrowed down a bit by requiring that their math and geometric structures agree with observation. The equivalence of string and dimensions seem to agree in some why, I think, in as far as math regards the properties of real things rather than dimensions as things for themselves. Physicists may use a Calibi-Yau manifold as a given structure or shell in which strings, loops and branes exist with the math of those surfaces and strength of units of string energy have a rational though complex reality subject to mathematical description. The number of dimensions that could exist in any universe may or may not have a limit. If geometers can imagine, or computers design 1000 dimension Universes in theory what would stop them from existing in fact-Occam’s razor?
So math and cosmology has entered this intriguing period of conjecture and observation. Just 15 years ago cosmologists thought they were approaching some sort of a conclusion to scientific learning about the Universe. It was believed a big bang just exploded, or inflated space-time into existence maybe from nothing, or perhaps recurring in cycles in a never ending or beginning process (that later sounds improbable). Now it seems that there are a trillion possible structures to explain observations of the quantum world, of the WMAP Cosmic microwave background of the early universe, numerous new theories of gravity, space and time, possibilities that extra dimensions may warp our three dimensions of space and that local warps might be measured and compared to a hypothetically correct metric for the extra-dimensional relationship.
It is a good time to be interested in cosmology and in theology too, for one may yet find the Word of God issuing reality a ready to contemplate paradigm for the way strings were created to start with. Theological considerations of a universe before inflation or creation of dimensions still leaves an eternity of time as a dimension that contains temporal dimensions and membranes as they occur occasionally. One wonders about such phenomenalities occurring within a timeless eternity perhaps a complex structure of dimensions grounding spiritual existence temporally. It is an interesting time to consider space and being.

Amphibious Tank Faces Cut From Defense Budget
The project would cost nearly 12 billion dollars and the Secdef is trying to kill it. Much as I dislike agreeing with that particular SecDef he is right-the era of beach landings should be decreasing with other means of entry and delivering of explosive power increasing. Defense weapons need to be good if they are to be an effective deterrent.
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704055204576068090692201036.html?mod=googlenews_wsj
A better vehicle to pursue would be a low-profile combination jet-ski-hydrofoil/hovercraft for one or two marines. Such a vehicle would also be simpler to air drop anyplace. High speed mobil insertion of special operation forces far beyond the beach would be more likely. Stand off and remotely or intelligently guided conventional weapons systems are also increasing as are the ways to detect comparatively hard to conceal amphibious tanks. The Marines ought to look ahead as well as behind in selecting innovative weapons systems useful from pole to pole and around the globe.

Reason Why a Palin Presidency Would Be the Jewel in the Crown for BP, Exxon, Connoco-Phillips
Alaska may be the prime jewel in the chocolate box of goodies in the United States that global corporate resource extraction businesses wish to exploit. Without a senior senator such as Ted Stevens in their pocket, and with U.S. Representative Don Young as their best bet for levering resource extractions from the federal government the reasoning behind a Palin presidency becomes fairly obvious; maximize the immediate potential resource extraction value for corporate profit.
With an oil corporation loyalist President from Alaska all federal restraints on resource development could be thrown to the winds. Discretionary executive protection on land, sea, sky and wildlife might be cast aside like hindrances upon a closing out sale on sensitive areas such as Bristol Bay, the Arctic national wildlife refuge and innumerable river systems. Sarah Palin has thus far demonstrated no reluctance to serve as a yes woman for plundering the national and world wildlife and ecology treasures of Alaska. Even global warming concerns could be dismissed and full development of the Arctic coast for offhore oil exploration and highway construction given the red state light.
One of the helpful things about apocalyptic religious beliefs is their potential to be used as Gnostic excuses for apocalyptic ecology practices.
Exxon maintains a low profile in Alaska and now does BP. Presently Connoco-Phillips is the high profile oil corporation with hard hat wearing executives in their large downtown Anchorage office building-at least until they to join the ranks of those maxi-scale polluters that must skulk away for a time. There are numerous corporations seeking to build vast mines in Britol Bay, dam the Susitna River or otherwise insult and injure Alaskan fisheries. The effort to conserve world ecological health would be serious adversely impacted with a Palin led federal government.

Four Dimensional Universe Could Expand to Ten
String theory has provided numerous striking insights into the potential and actual behavior of the physical Universe. Fields Medal winner Shin Tung Yau has co-authored a book published in November 2010 in which he describes ‘The Shape of Inner Space’. Yau’s work at constructing geometrical shapes of hyper-dimensions following on the work of another mathematician named Calabi provided the famous Calibi-Yau manifolds that presently best exemplify what a six dimensional geometric shape might be like.
The Calibi-Yau manifolds are a mathematical construction and valuable for-themselves in the progress of geometry. Yau mentions that a new geometry may be needed for the very small realm of quantum mechanics. Such geometry might work in the realm of quantum uncertainty.
Physicists have applied the Calibi-Yau shapes to string theory cosmology. Strings instead of particles are thought to be the irreducibly smallest component of matter. Strings viewed end on seem like points, and from other points of view can be viewed as circles or ellipses, branes or membranes. If matter can be compacted and folded into six extra dimensions it could better explain gravity and other aspects of mass and energy.
The extra dimensions have energy and were tightly bound near the start of this universe. Their energy could be flexing and providing the recently observed acceleration of space. The six dimensions could decompact suddenly and the Universe would then have ten dimensions disrupting all present forms of matter in the phase transition. The six extra dimensions may locally warp the three full size-dimensions of space. Time as a dimension may transcend all the other nine spatial dimensions.
There may be a hundred years of research ahead in math and physics measuring space carefully to discern the effects of extra dimensions, if not construct a few; would it be possible to construct a ten dimensional object in three dimensional space?

112th Congress Opens to Republican Corporatist Perfidy to Democrat's
It is written that in just 15 years the Federal budget will be able to afford to pay interest on the national debt, social security, Medicare, Medicaid and nothing else. Obviously social programs will be radically trimmed to pay for military and public infrastructure. In fact the lion's share of federal payouts will go to corporate related receivers and those with U.S. bonds.
Speaker John Boehner known to burst into tears at the slightest of sentimental opportunity may rely upon a pat on the back from 'Nurse' Nancy Pelosi should he need moral reinforcement from the former Speaker. The pretentious and time consuming political process of rolling back the corporate health care bill forced through by the Democrats in the 111th session is as disingenuous as the will to restore good government financing by either part. The corporate world wins in either case; they began the HOMO corporate health groups that own much of the medical world in America anyway.
"Matt 23:23-24
"Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You give a tenth of your spices-mint, dill and cummin. But you have neglected the more important matters of the law-justice, mercy and faithfulness. You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former. 24 You blind guides! You strain out a gnat but swallow a camel."
A special form of medical bankruptcy bill should be passed to allow those of us with medical bills to bankrupt more easily after irresponsibly picking up medical bills such as hernia and anesthesia can dump. Recover from medical bankruptcy is important for those hoping to have housing in some future Alaskan winter.
The 112th Congress will continue to the idiot effort to convert Pakistanis to atheism with the missionary approach of high altitude targeted bombing and specialized assassination. Arnold Toynbee would have though that such an approach would be counter-productive.
Obviously Afghanistan must become a flourishing neo-India state with a liberal and irreverent Muslim majority if it is to cohere within the sort of political outlook held in Boston and Washington D.C. Such a state would require vast financial support-there is better, more pragmatic approaches the corrupt cannot foresee evidently.
American desire to control Pakistan culturally is just bad policy-even Americans believe the broadcast media and the beltway culture somewhat rabid with wealth and power-why should the Pakistanis think better of them?
Neither do we believe that a Palin style political Pentecostalism is a rational or truthful political methodology potentially capable of addressing world political issues challenging to the United States in a competent way.

Malachi 3:9
" 9Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation."
Galatians 3:10-14
10For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.
11But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.
12And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.
13Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:
14That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith."
Protestant Pentecostalism tends to run toward an ignorant inimical facade of spirituality rather than the real thing. I should explain why it seems some of the speaking in gibberish seems equally able to support a demonic nonsense language as readily as any other.
The apostle Paul said he was capable of speaking in tongues (foreign languages) better than about anyone (he was quite a world traveler) but did not because people would take him for an idiot. At the actual Pentecost (an historical event) Christians spoke in foreign languages that they could not speak before and other people understood them. It was a sign of the new age when the Holy Spirit would in dwell Christians during the absence of Jesus Christ. All Christians have the Holy Spirit, yet none are required top speak a foreign language to prove that.
Ooh e ooh ah ah, flim flam, walla wall bim bam, bim bam walla wall bim bam
The Protestant clergy in America may be entirely out of phase with the historical and prophetic requirement for a priesthood of believers instead of a hierarchical priesthood. One Pentecostal minister opened the New Year with a sermon on the same old tithing requirement 3000% too high for a clergy that ought not exist. The same Malachi curse leverage was used. A story about 'how God works' was given such that the pastor receives a million dollar home for just taking over payments and a few dollars from a builder and former pastor that was being foreclosed upon. That was a miracle that the pastor got a millionaire dollar home for nothing! No good Christian would have just helped to let the old couple keep the house of course...
An evangelical clergy seeking to find leverage to enrich itself financially and politically is the sort of corrupting horeshit the nation does not need today. Such people are babes in Toyland, game show guests on lets make a deal choosing the curtain. Politicians or clergy letting the Wall- Street and Banking crowd corrupt the nation, skim off resources and lie, cheat and steal their way to concentrate wealth simply aren't helpful.
President Obama, SecDef Gates and Admiral Mullins gave the captain of the Enterprise a dishonorable discharge fore making bad videos for the crew. I have made 100 videos the Enterprise could use to build moral. Obviously YouTube video making is a politically tough thing. The reason few in the military protested against the end of don't ask, don't tell is obvious-they would be purged if they did such as occurred to captain Honors.
The nation has a surfeit of clergy as Mafiosi seeking financial and political leverage instead of a priesthood of believers. I have written about the priesthood of believers and the problem of tithing. The following tow web sites have much information on the subjects.

While the protestant clergy is simply a gaggle of corrupt tithe collectors seeking patronage from the wealthy the moral lessons for the masses and for political foreign policy will definitely suffer. Jesus was crucified by the clergy because of their fear of losing financial power and little has changed today; just try to establish a priesthood of believers and the clergy as no understanding, cognitive awareness or interest in the least.
So the nation has slipped into domination by bad global corporatists down grading the democracy of the United States. Perversion has become a litmus test for those seeking to earn a living in many regards. In an era where physical work is disrespected and competent intellectual work as well, in an era where the majority of Americans are encouraged to be wise-guys and bad neighbors, evil and wickedness advance. The 110th congress isn't very likely to do much to make the country better, balance the budget, restore the environment, secure the borders, assure that all Americans are gainfully employed and so forth. Bad neighborliness is simply a fact of corporatism.
We know that corporate subsidies from taxpayers are a fact of life. Without public support such as highways and airports the corporate world could not exist. Perhaps we should allow a feudal America to develop with Corporate and clerical Mafioso running the highways, schools and ecology. I look forward to Wal-mart medical services as a way to flood the nation with competent anesthesiologists from India. Making the United States a democracy with secure borders and full employment seems to be far too much of a challenge for the morally challenged Congress and Protestant Clergy of the day. Well, we can look forward to the return of Jesus Christ on the prophetic schedule anyway especially as there is something rotten in Denmark or Wasilla. We may need to wait a while though-long enough for real reform in some 114th or 120th Congress perhaps.
Speaker John Boehner known to burst into tears at the slightest of sentimental opportunity may rely upon a pat on the back from 'Nurse' Nancy Pelosi should he need moral reinforcement from the former Speaker. The pretentious and time consuming political process of rolling back the corporate health care bill forced through by the Democrats in the 111th session is as disingenuous as the will to restore good government financing by either part. The corporate world wins in either case; they began the HOMO corporate health groups that own much of the medical world in America anyway.
"Matt 23:23-24
"Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You give a tenth of your spices-mint, dill and cummin. But you have neglected the more important matters of the law-justice, mercy and faithfulness. You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former. 24 You blind guides! You strain out a gnat but swallow a camel."
A special form of medical bankruptcy bill should be passed to allow those of us with medical bills to bankrupt more easily after irresponsibly picking up medical bills such as hernia and anesthesia can dump. Recover from medical bankruptcy is important for those hoping to have housing in some future Alaskan winter.
The 112th Congress will continue to the idiot effort to convert Pakistanis to atheism with the missionary approach of high altitude targeted bombing and specialized assassination. Arnold Toynbee would have though that such an approach would be counter-productive.
Obviously Afghanistan must become a flourishing neo-India state with a liberal and irreverent Muslim majority if it is to cohere within the sort of political outlook held in Boston and Washington D.C. Such a state would require vast financial support-there is better, more pragmatic approaches the corrupt cannot foresee evidently.
American desire to control Pakistan culturally is just bad policy-even Americans believe the broadcast media and the beltway culture somewhat rabid with wealth and power-why should the Pakistanis think better of them?
Neither do we believe that a Palin style political Pentecostalism is a rational or truthful political methodology potentially capable of addressing world political issues challenging to the United States in a competent way.

10For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.
11But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.
12And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.
13Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:

Reading 'The Shape of Inner Space'; Annotations on the Cosmology Theme
It is possible to wonder how string theory and extra-dimensions relate to the problems of quantum mechanics. Quantum uncertainty, quantum entanglement and the unpredictability features of the standard model of physics descriptive of the behavior of quantum particles are apparently indeterministic so it is reasonable to wonder how the conservation of energy and information apply to an indeterministic rather than a deterministic world. If quantum particles exist in all possible states before measurement in a waveform collapse into a partially observed position in normal four dimensional space-time what is there to be conserved? What conservation of possible states that do not become are conserved and where?
The physicist Hugh Everett’s cosmological conjecture about an issuance of all possible universes from each quantum effect is one obvious state to consider, for if a new state of a universes promulgated from each quantum possibility no information prima facie seems lost. One might expect that for each qubit of data producing a new universe and infinite number of additional universes ought to be issued producing every other possible altered state as well, obviously. Another infinity of universes should be issued from each of those to conserve their information as well.
These speculations may be somewhat of the basic topic of making more annotations during my reading of Yau and Nadis’ excellent book of mathematical physics of string theory titled ‘The Shape of Inner Space’.
The decoherence of quantum states generally from the more primary quantum world of uncertainty-maybe that can be regarded as the noumenal world described by Immanuel Kant-into this universe of mass and energy considered to be the subject of study of solid state physics is an ephemeral concept useful to consider.
Is the regard for an ephemeral universe of mass and energy of solid state physical as a phenomena essential correct from a human point of view or is the concept just wrong?
Physicists such as Oogan, Strominger, Vafa, Maldecena and Witten have extended string theory geometrical constructions of membranes, D-Branes, and complex structures of membranes called cycles so far as to model black holes within a string theory paradigm. Even Stephen Hawking eventually took the opinion that information is conserved by black holes.
That permits more non-mathematical speculation…Beyond the event horizon of a black hole not only ought mass be compacted worse than in a power-dumpster, it should be in the most disordered state possible without any resemblance to whatever shape it was in before falling into the black hole and the timelessness beyond the event horizon. Practically the state of strings (the smallest and one-dimensional theoretical state of mass-energy) inside the black hole is hard to understand. If maximum entropy has occurred perhaps the strings should have no sort of polarity in regard to each other. Compacted intensely as strings they ought to form something at least such as a very heavy ball of strings.
Yet it is possible that strings never get beyond the event horizon and strings just stick to it like one-dimensional flies caught in extra dimensions. The models of black holes built with string theory have extra-dimensions lurking at the event horizon to catch quantum material passing within-a more logical concept simpler to consider than the black hole paradigm of classical quantum mechanics.
One wonders of the relationship of quantum uncertainty to black holes? Temporal appearances of mass and energy in the universe might be caught in a scaffolding of extra-dimensions (small ones) from which they are unable to return to an underlying realm of quantum uncertainty or not, The acceleration of space could be a function of small extra dimensions flexing for some reason in normal four dimensional space or traveling like clothing pinned to a clothesline. The conservation of energy can mean simply that as the mass energy of space-time changes it becomes part of another existing structure-as when a tree slaughtered in a virgin forest is made into chips and pressboard and made into a sheet to build a restroom in a gasoline station. If information is conserved in the quantum world then structures such as black holes may have more obviously logical explanations within string theory or another potential geometrically constructible model.

Human Violence/Sin are Anti-Human and Anti-Spiritual
On this third day of the New Year it is worthwhile to reflect upon the example of Our Lord in not enacting violence upon our fellow human beings. It is also good to use some of ye old language at this time of year. The King James version of the Bible is an uncomplicated version I enjoy. In the world today there is a common surfeit of violence. In the day of the Lord there was also a surfeit of violence. Government ad religious authorities commonly orchestrated mass social movements of violence and there were few realms life that was too far removed from the imminence of personal danger from human social violence at the interpersonal level.
We have no example of Jesus using violence at all in the Bible. In the one instance where he cursed a fig tree causing it to shortly thereafter wither and ‘bear no more fruit forever’ he was using that as a device for prophecy revealing that the temple priesthood era of the Jews was over.
Interpersonal violence today is a function of a society in one aspect of a dysfunctional mode. We may acknowledge the right for proximal self defense and yet regard plain aggression as a negation of humanity for-itself. If human reasoning and social democracy cannot prevail over unreasoning, wicked force the spiritual evolution of society is set back into that conformal bundle of physical and temporal phenomena we may regard as nihilist. Such nihilism is a perennial problem for human reason and existence noted by Our Lord as was as others formerly reaching as far back in history as the Iranian philosopher Zarathustra.
Our Lord was an example of perfect human social conduct and of course non-violence. Yet there will be an era ahead when conformal social bundles of behavior will no longer be tolerated by The Lord. The potter shall cast the broken and mal-adjusted forms of the faithless back into the field and the leader of violence, lies and murder into the pit.
Human experience with violence occurs with a conformal physical behavioral bundle grounded in tangent vectors of temporal doom and spiritual decay. On this second day of the New Year Christians should reflect a little upon the desirability of encouraging non-violent social relations, becoming intolerant of aggressive violence, considering how state violence such as the conflict in Afghanistan and Pakistan may be too deeply bound in general spiritual decay that leads to material poverty and national insecurity coincidently. When the inability to implement positive political courses overloads federal international relations policies with military solutions as sole remedies to economics and culture issues the evil and wickedness of violence snares the faithless further in its descent into darkness.
Jesus said in chapter 20 of Luke verse 17-19 “And he beheld them, and said, What is this then that is written, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner? Whosever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken, but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder. And the chief priests and the scribes the same hour sought to lay hands on him; and they feared the people: for they perceived that he had spoken this parable against them.”
Jesus warned his society of the immanence of violence on countless occasions. Those of faith still should listen to the call of the Lord to quit the world of senseless violence one may regard as an imprimatur of conduct conformal to the bundled behaviors of human spiritual defeat.
It might be an interesting thing if statistical mechanics could plot the incidence of sin in America-real sin as the Bible describes explicitly and implicitly in order to write up a scalar field of where these things occur in space-time. Quantum cosmology uses such methods in string theory to develop geometrical values for all locations in space-time enabling a metric or units of spacing and frequency of various features of a field. With such a scalar field chart sin in America accurately in any given time period with the accuracy of quantum mechanical uncertainty and of course some of the same problems of observing just the position or speed of a particle or entangled particle pairs but not each simultaneously it might also become possible to chart the clumping, clusters and fluxes of sin’s scalar field and metric. Interpreting biblical prophecy quantitatively might be an added derivative result of a comprehensive statistical geometric analysis of American sin.
To return to the topic of negating the anti-humanism of violence so far as possible concurrent with a reduction of human disrespect for other living things and the ecology of the planet…Our hierarchical priesthoods may be leading the flock astray on tithing and sundry other social values.

If the nominal church hierarchical priesthood is wrong-collecting 3000% more tithes than they are entitled to if any (see the two hyperlinks above’, they may be playing right into the hands of sin themselves as active leaders in the practice of parsimony and such. Maybe they also are inclined to sign off on violence like crucifying God or warring for resources abroad with mercenaries for a piece of the action? In 2011 a reduction of anti-human violence would work to rectify a right relationship with God.

2011-2012 Green Star Presidential Primary Picks
My choice of green star Presidential candidates for the 2011-2012 primaries may seem counterintuitive as neither Mitt Romney nor Hillary Clinton are known for being exceedingly green. They are the best available candidates today though that might be effective if in the office of President of the United States. Perhaps they can be reformed and move away a little from the dark side of the fore of oil and globalism toward nationalism and a transcending new super-conductor infrastructure for energy and electric automotive power. Ralph Nader has ridden off in the sunset. A good, nationalist, green star sheriff is just not in the present lot of known potential candidates.
-photo credit blogs at america.gov romney wins maine caucus
Perhaps we must grow a green candidate from a field of blighted and stunted oil can compadres. It may be easier to convert a business guy even though his M.B.A. is from the Harvard evil empire instead of making Sarah Palin believe that the oil god is not good for everyone, and might actually be detrminetal to American interests today. We know that Hillary Clinton is also globally 'it takes a village' deluded yet her 2007-08 campaign against Obama was good enough that we would like a return match-sure to be a 'thrilla in Manilla'. We believe she has some small competence in things ecological if not economically combined.
Mitt Romney has a 'rebuild America' platform, and that is what the country needs minus voodoo economics and plus a high-tech green infrastructure.
Living in Anchorage Alaska perhaps I ought to regard Sarah Palin as a favorite daughter candidate. Spending the winter in a tent here without work enough to buy propane to heat water I have become unenthusiastic about the kind of people that live in the Anchorage and Wasilla. What kind of society won’t let a guy with an honors degree from the University of Alaska and an honorable discharge from the Alaska Army National guard earn enough to have a cup of coffee and to melt the frost off the inside of his tent? John McCain may have been a better choice than Jeff Bridges for Sheriff Rooster Cogburn in a remake of True Grit, yet his choice of Sarah Palin for Vice-Presidential candidate still seems a little to grandfatherly if not spaced. At least Bristol Palin now has a $190,000 home in Phoenix.
Sarah Palin with experience as a small town mayor and two years as governor of the least populous state has almost no relevant presidential experience. If we continue to select presidents on the basis of comparison to the last incompetent the nation is in trouble. A president with experience in oil corporate perks in a remote, corporate resource colony and might believe that a modern Theodoric and assembly of those that can afford to drive to church and donate to the clergy might not even become a front for the Russian mafia.
Alaska and the Palins are largely in the pocket of big global oil corporations and couldn’t tell a Fresnel lens from a super-conductor. Anchorage is the ninth most drunken American city, Alaska has the fewest churches per capita, and electing nominal Christians that use the White House as a bordello, water board torture captives or advocate open homosexual sin in the military while staying away from church for a year make us wonder if the technical Christian qualification is another leverage to elect corruption and incompetence.
Sarah Palin may be able to see Russia from Wasilla, yet the Metropolitan of the Russian Orthodox Church was eventually appointed by the Tsar. Reform of American churches-making them priesthood of believers instead of hierarchically structured to benefit clergy above all-needs be done if Christianity is to end up without a penis breath priesthood and all the corruption of sin and statist corporatism flooding the U.S.A. today.
Mitt Romney as a Mormon is at least not inimical to Christians though the Kolob star system makes us laughably incredulous. His father was president of American Motors and Mitt earned the job of Governor of Massachusetts-a notoriously democratic state so he may have an ability to work across the not so great divide on the left side of a two-directional politically spinning top.
Besides the pervasive moral decay of the U.S.A. we are concerned about the subversion of American nationalism for globalism and corporatism. In true capitalism the virtue of competition is found in individual companies rather than in networks of firms that effectively repress competitive infrastructure change and political sovereignty. Perhaps Mormons aren’t all gas and oil, asphalt and corporate network beast people, maybe some are green and would wear the green star law enforcement.
The United States has selected such bad President since Reagan that Mitt Romney as a competent neo-conservative may be the best the Republican Party can put forward in 2011-12. As for Sarah Palin and the prospect of an Alaskan President; one would be hard pressed to find a more cold-blooded political or ignorant political cliche of the over-privelaged in the U.S.A. to choose from. The Palin Archepelago is fine for the comfortable, and not so much for the freezing. The leadership class fundamentally feel themselves superior perhaps, with a right to oppress the poor.

Anchorage is the ninth most drunken American city, Alaska has the fewest churches per capita, and electing nominal Christians that use the White House as a bordello, water board torture captives or advocate open homosexual sin in the military while staying away from church for a year make us wonder if the technical Christian qualification is another leverage to elect corruption and incompetence.
Sarah Palin may be able to see Russia from Wasilla, yet the Metropolitan of the Russian Orthodox Church was eventually appointed by the Tsar. Reform of American churches-making them priesthood of believers instead of hierarchically structured to benefit clergy above all-needs be done if Christianity is to end up without a penis breath priesthood and all the corruption of sin and statist corporatism flooding the U.S.A. today.
Mitt Romney as a Mormon is at least not inimical to Christians though the Kolob star system makes us laughably incredulous. His father was president of American Motors and Mitt earned the job of Governor of Massachusetts-a notoriously democratic state so he may have an ability to work across the not so great divide on the left side of a two-directional politically spinning top.
Besides the pervasive moral decay of the U.S.A. we are concerned about the subversion of American nationalism for globalism and corporatism. In true capitalism the virtue of competition is found in individual companies rather than in networks of firms that effectively repress competitive infrastructure change and political sovereignty. Perhaps Mormons aren’t all gas and oil, asphalt and corporate network beast people, maybe some are green and would wear the green star law enforcement.
The United States has selected such bad President since Reagan that Mitt Romney as a competent neo-conservative may be the best the Republican Party can put forward in 2011-12. As for Sarah Palin and the prospect of an Alaskan President; one would be hard pressed to find a more cold-blooded political or ignorant political cliche of the over-privelaged in the U.S.A. to choose from. The Palin Archepelago is fine for the comfortable, and not so much for the freezing. The leadership class fundamentally feel themselves superior perhaps, with a right to oppress the poor.

A Philosophy of The Positive Energy Conjecture
An opportunity to read a book named ‘The Shape of Inner Space’ the interesting topic of minimal surfaces of aboriginal cosmological structures has presented. For readers who are not mathematicians yet cultivate an interest in philosophy and cosmology (including myself) the book is a worthwhile journey through theoretical mathematical constructions of geometric analytical underpinnings of string and M-Theory dedevelopments of recent years.
As I have progressed through this book co-authored by a winner of the Fields Medal I have annotated my reflections on the primeval universe at Time=0. The annotated ideas are not conformal to the explanatory cosmological ‘metric’ presented in ‘The Shape of Inner Space’ because of my comparatively non-technical thought on the topic of technical shapes of constructions of space-time.
The beginning of the Universe is one of the essential topics of inquiry in which humanity has invested time for speculative philosophical effort. What would humanity be besides inchoate or somnambulant lumps of dough without wonder of the nature of things and from whence they arise?
The religious approach and faith in divine revelation has coincided with that of intuitive judgment and investigation comprised largely of reasoning from analogy of experience of the real world. With such analogy the flow of a river becomes an example of the flow of a universe from a distant, unknown field cycles of biosphere growth become kalpas of a cyclical universe or recurrent strings floating on multi-dimensional space-time membranes.
The headwaters of the Nile were discovered by reports given to Stanley of glaciers on the African equator upon high mountains. A WMAP three degree background temperature survey portrayed the energy distribution of the Universe as it appeared about 300,000 years after T=0.
Speculations regarding the flow of the universe from a big bang or its inflation from a geometric singularity have arisen with increasing technical sophistication construction models based in scientific insights from experience.
Christians and Jews look toward the scientific procedures for cosmology with interest too. The manner in which God issued the Universe from His Word may perhaps be technically represented through physical cosmology. We do not expect science to create a comprehensive model of the beginning of the Universe beyond a certain point because the Universe is a contingent and limited temporal phenomenon-even science has limits to information acquisition theoretically such as is expressed in formula like Kurt Gödel’s incompleteness theorem.
The field of differential geometric analysis has developed mathematical constructions modeling forms and surfaces, minimal surface areas and shapes of topology and relations in curved space. Einstein’s general theory of relativity presented space-time itself as an integral four dimensional surface for gravitational phenomena. Yau’s mathematical work investigation what would be known as Calibi-Yau space built on investigations of the geometry of theoretical forms or constructions in multi-dimensional space. One wonders of the geometry of the Universe as a space-time field originating reasonably enough in a singularity.
Continuing philosophical inquires into the origin of the Universe from the issuance by the word of God we may review the neo-Platonic illustrations by the 2nd century philosopher Plotinus as well as a classical scientific cosmological avenue. The positive mass conjecture states that any isolated physical system must have positive mass or energy. That may seem post hoc obvious; negative energy or negative mass does not exist. A negative Universe could not exist, or could it?
Anti-matter is said to be a reverse mirror image of matter and its spin vector values. If matter is constructed of strings or loops-minor geometric shapes packed into power magnitude protocols at the beginning of the Universe we still would expect anti-matter to be reverse mirror image approximation pairs of mass string, loops or membranes. It is speculated that because of CP invariance at the beginning of the Universe a very slight preponderance of positive mass emerged from the initial issuance of matter and anti-matter simultaneously. Perhaps 99% of the original matter and anti-matter issued recombined destructively emitting the heat energy that today has cooled to being the 3 degree Kelvin background microwave temperature of the Universe. The positive mass of the Universe (it is considered by some as an isolated system) expanded its initial space-time singularity condition from t equals zero to a much larger size in a fraction of second. We wonder if the initial geometry of space-time as a minimal surface area singularity that was hypothetically a balanced neutral field of no space-time extent ever had a potential for negative energy?
From T=0 the singularity given an initial surplus of anti-matter over matter might have created a universe with a different spin vector value or a reverse mirror image yet basically the same as this existing universe perhaps. That universe might have been a convex expansion in the opposite direction than this universe if it is regarded as a bubble that expands. The concept of a concave universe expanding with negative energy from a singularity is more difficult to imagine-possibly that idea isn’t feasible at all, and just an anti-matter universe is possible.
A singularity at T=0 may be a matter of perspective. A singular compact point with all potential matter and anti-matter equally balanced originated somewhere, the question is where?
Filling out the dimensions, mass and energy of this Universe may comprise a limited temporal issue from an omnipotent, non-contingent field we may think of as God.
If the energy of an isolated system tend to reach its lowest level and perhaps remain there unless of course it might act upon space-time itself transforming the context of realty-then we have an additional reason to wonder about the singularity at the beginning of the space-time of the Universe; given an unknown yet we might stipulate an ample period of time wouldn’t it be more probable that a lowest possible energy state rather than that of a highest energy state existed at T=0?
The positive energy conjecture implies that the energy of the Universe is greater than zero without the potential to become less than zero. Physicists seem to regard the space-time of a Universe with energy in the negative realm as unstable. I am not at all certain of what is meant by unstable space-time. Perhaps it means that space-time could wrap up locally to form singularities, although it may be edit something besides black holes or wrapped up regions of space-time reduced to singularities occur within a regime of negative energy.
The initial boundary conditions of the Universe at T=0 on the positive matter based potential side and on an opposite negative-energy based side is difficult to contemplate within the criteria of a minimal surface area. One might regard the necessity that any singularity inevitably issue positive energy as improbable grace. It seems that energy that inevitably emerges preponderantly in the overall Universal system would be very providential.
A minimal surface area of a singularity boundary opposing negative and positive energy might be like the inside and outside of a bubble potentially able to expand equally in either direction. As has been postulated the minimal energy state of a negative universe might comprise the highest potential energy state of a positive energy singularity. It is commonly preferred that the perfectly balanced minimal surface area of a positive matter universe before inflation may coincide with the cycling lowest energy state and maximum expansion of a negative universe. That sort of theorizing may depend upon which of the two sorts of meaning of negative energy one prefers to use.

President Obama & Congress Rollover Decadence to the New Year
President Obama's idea of politics as the art of the possible represents the insipid fatalist acquiescence in the new American decadence dumping vast public debt and two badly thought out foreign military spending quagmires following the conclusion of the cold war and squandering of the 'peace dividend'.
The construction of an economic sow's ear from a silk purse by the U.S. Government from 1990 to 2011 required a lot of teamwork. Corrupt leadership, an ignorance of history, bad military and financial judgment, myopic greed-these were some of the characteristics instrumental in promoting nationally deletious politics flumping our policy outward on a global scale. In the spirit of the times the phrase par excellent is que sera sera (if that how it's spelt) boldly blundering on into 2011 ignoring the need for comprehensive refounding of basic infrastructure of the U.S. economy in order to make a transformation into an economy of low entropy, quality growth only with zero net immigration.
Another year of disposable resources, fifty thousand dollar SUVs, millions of immigrants, outsourcing of jobs and global corporate networks concentrating wealth in the United States along with real political power creates an existential threat to liberty in the U.S.A. In Alaska Sarah Palin's former Lt. Governor supports the kind of policies that would increase fossil fuel exports such as coal to China. A nominal white women pre-emption of progressivism (Palin) Presidency would likely be a puppet for global corporatism and bad world energy policy acellerating a prophecized new world order of secular mohammadanist rule of an anti-Christ from a synthetic temple mount-dome of the rock. Alaska as a foreign energy resource colony is a tool for global corporate whim.
We cannot afford to assume that multiculturalism can replace ecological reformation and quantitative rather than qualitative economic growth. Compelling U.S. domestic political development to follow global corporate personnel marketing strategies is a betrayal of the history, tradition and people of the United States that was founded on independence. All U.S. citizens ought to have equal rights and opportunities to a good life, and that goal is betrayed by globalism, degradation of the environment and decadent social and moral situation.
A Tea Bagger Congress steeping through the holiday season for some Americans brings the prospect of new energy and change that was lacking in the Pelosi led congress that eventually transformed into a Beijing lame-duck feast for billionaires and gays looking forward to high paying military service. The actual possibility of meaningful change has been set off until 2012 when the tax cut extension ramrodded through by President Obama expires.
The political transformation of the Congress and Presidency into a feel good about ourselves government and fiscal responsibility charged to foreign lenders is not too surprising. No less of a authority that Dave Barry in his 2000 political book 'Below the Beltway' produced convincing evidence that something funny has cohered in Presidents and presidential candidates for at least the past forty years. Since the era of photogenic presidencies the intellectual quality has certainly been in decline.
The U.S. Congress is hardly better than the surfeit of under qualified if not incompetent U.S. Presidents since Dwight David Eisenhower left office. The trouble with democracy as Aristotle pointed out is that the people are simply not competent enough or sufficiently interested in public affairs to make competent political selections therein opening the door for corrupting rule by special interests and in some instances, tyranny. We may find a tyranny of a proletariat or an elite populist front for plutocracy. President Obama turned out to be a front for Oprahcracy as his friend-one of the wealthiest American women and television star, deserved tax cuts along with all of the rich to tax rates so low that the concentration of wealth is dangerously accelerated. The trouble with congress is that there are few representatives with ecological economically apposite ideas. Without a core of congressional members with nationalist and low entropy ecological economic ideas the prospects for positive change are virtually nil.
The positive energy conjecture is a cosmological idea that any isolated physical system requires positive energy or mass to exist. The deficit spending, ecosystem depressing anti-national interest laws promulgated by the congress and signed off on by stuffed suit or skirt presidencies (or both in the post 'don't ask or tell' era) seems proof that negative energy can inflate a negative inside the beltway universe. The public cannot expect an intellectually incompetent and morally deficient congress (it's loyal to the rich and globalism) to innovate ecological economic policy responsive to the real environmental challenges of this generation or two or three.

One Wonders About Calibi-Yau Spatial Dimensions
'Decoding Reality: The Universe as Quantum Information' by Vlatko Vedral is an interesting read-even human D.N.A. has characteristics of a quantum computer it seems, yet information too may be a part of a deeper purpose to the Universe (teleology).
Reading Nadis and Yau's 'The Shape of Inner Space' one gets a sense of dimensions for-themselves, or at least their geometry. Reading that I got a few ideas though I haven't completed reading it. I would think that information or content of the Universe, its energy and dimensions would be integrated in The One initially and meta-structurally continuously though the slope described by the functions changes in time.
-photo credit jbourji public domain
One must wonder if each dimension has its own time dimensions, if there is just one time dimensions or as many as space, and if the values of a time dimension are a differential of a function with a given spatial dimension? Could time dimensions be in different 'shapes'?
If these extra very small dimensions are wrapped up and finite factors of the existing dimensions there are innumerable ways to regard them. Perhaps the possible mathematical-geometrical configurations/shapes of dimensions existentially afford reception of mass-energy with sufficient force into as many dimensions as the initial mass-energy criterion profferred at a proximal beginning of a Universe(1) such as out own Universe of experience.
Rather than dimensions against independently as space-time it seems philosophically acceptable to integrate dimensions as existing things only as they are actually used by mass-energy. Alternatively if dimensions are fields that receive rather than are formed by mass-energy initially, one wonders about the field strength of any given dimension, or n-dimensions.
If dimensions vary in strength or charge that may affect the relationship of any given dimension to other dimensions and mass-energy within and without a given dimension. If dimensions change size-are they formed as multi-dimensional dimension fields, must they be integrated in a meta-dimensional field, will an initially endowment of energy of a dimension, or its anti-dimensional mate if they are produced in pairs or groups) be diluted as a dimension expands?
If dark energy or matter occurs within a given dimensional configuration expanding or being attracted along dimensional potentials, are these a vacuum energy 'static' energy of dimensional strings or membranes following some protocol of unwinding?
At what point did all dimensions not exist compacted to an initial singularity of The One? With Christmas time approaching Jesus Christ as the One issuing The Word to begin provides a reasonable place to contemplate the end of this comment.

American Produce Inspectors Flee Northern Mexico-Drug Violence Sends Up Tomato Prices
Drug related violence that has claimed 30,000 lives in Mexico the last four years has also driven American produce inspectors out of Northern Mexico. The article hyperlinked below notes that inspections are being done on the U.S. side of the border instead, and of course later in the process impeding the flow of cheap produce to U.S. salads.
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/40772711/ns/business-us_business
The phenomena is a function of the poor U.S. Mexico policy that is in turn a function of bad economic management in the United States government. A morally acceptable policy would at least assure that Mexican produce exported to the United States is really surplus beyond what the people need for themselves. Perhaps nations engaging in International surplus trading of food should be required to tax shippers in order to direct a percent of food to actually undernourished peoples wherever they are.
Mohandas Gandhi wrote that "Nations are sustained neither by wealth nor by armies, but by righteousness alone. It is the duty of man to bear this truth in mind and practice altruism, which is the highest form of morality."
Economic policy has been a topic of research in the field of neuro-philosophy. The way people make decisions and how dopamine reinforces decision making at a pre-concious level has been the subject of substantial research. The mind subconsciously knows almost ten seconds before the conscious mind makes a decision in some instances, of what the decision will be.
Stephen Hall's book 'Wisdom' investigates several areas of research into the workings of the mind in moral judgements, decision making and so forth. Researchers have found that select areas of the brain-even the central and most primitive areas make decisions and reward accurate or positive decisions with a burst of dopamine. The pre-frontal cortex-a more recent evolution or addition to a human brain makes more abstract and complex judgments in some cases. The way emotion factors in to making moral judgments is also considered.
That of course is why the human process of decision making at a personal and social level differ in areas of the brain used for making a decision. Complex decision-especially complex social decisions are most hard to make-and we see the United States failing to make good political decisions quite commonly while the media rewards President Obama in his lame duck successes for reasons less intelligent than emotional. The failure of not only the Obama administration, but any administration to change U.s. economics to a low entropy, nationalistic criterion is a cobnsequence of the inherent difficulties in changing the foundation upon which econonmic decisions are made.
Economists and others build up a data base neurologically from which they make decisions. Conscious decisions are a tip of the data iceberg. economi sts have certain philosophical values that implicitly make an existential pursuit of personal satisfaction the highest good, and that of course is consistent with the more primative and emotional regions of the brain making decisions that concatenated produces a socially incompetant economic management phenomena.
Instead of managing society realistically U.S.economics is stuck in neo-classical individuated (even when corporations are regarded as individuals) pursuits of happiness. Value bases of economics esentially do not evolve nearly as quickly as social viability requires in respect of advancing general challenges ecologically, economically and nationally.
For many years we have known that a low entropy economic foundation and full employment are exceedingly desirabe social values that will make society happier if accomplished. We haave also been aware of the Mexican drug cartel plaza phenomenon of entire border cities being controlled by particular criminal organizations packaging illegal cargo for shipment north to the lucrative drug consuming U.S.A. Entire cities and social infrastructure are corrupted to facilitate concealment of drugs and I suppose guns in the other direction. it is said that 90% of Mexican drug exports to the U.S.A. pass right through border inspection stations. That northern Mexico is dangerous for Tomato inspectors is thus not very suprising.
The neuro-cognitive philosophical inspections of the brain, mind and social economics reveal that the basic American investment in change is quite minimal regarding progress toward and ecological economic policy with real border control and advance of social content.
A particular neo-classical economic outlook and the historical neuro-cognitive dopamine reinforced decision making and selection of values to be reinforced as 'good' negates the possibility of correcting the bi-lateral American-Mexican border issues in a rational way empirically. The series of free trade agreements the United States has entered in to do about nothing to direct a comparative trade advantage, low entropy economic security in each nation without the corrupting effects of migratory labor and ecological habitat destruction. In Alaska polar bear habitat is still attacked by the state government filing lawsuits to remove federal habita protections. The Obama administration circumstantially might negotiate pie slices of Arctic litoral none-development zone with Russia, Canada, Denmark and other nations to preserve the integrity of the Arctic and its wildlife in a coordinated way yet there again we find the basic neuro-cognitive philosophical decision making inertia rewarded by the dopamine of 'the big score', speaking of which, I could use that piece of lemon merangue pie myself. The challenge is to find it in a new and socially beneficial way.
Mexican migrant laborers range from Alaska to Florida, Chicago to the Carolinas and California even while Americans are out of work. To retake control of the border a new ecologically beneficial border control zone-perhaps a canal to desalinate siphoned up seawater and irrigation and recreational areas on both sides of the border could be made a primary construction stimulus project. No harm mass ecological reconstruction on both sides of the border to create permanent work should be a bilateral political goal with an upgrade in Mexican civil life and identification within a decriminalized social environment equally a target of American economic self-interest. The difficulties are in moving away from the existentialist economics of personal egoism that destructively influence U.S. economic management goals.

Complex decision-especially complex social decisions are most hard to make-and we see the United States failing to make good political decisions quite commonly while the media rewards President Obama in his lame duck successes for reasons less intelligent than emotional. The failure of not only the Obama administration, but any administration to change U.s. economics to a low entropy, nationalistic criterion is a cobnsequence of the inherent difficulties in changing the foundation upon which econonmic decisions are made.
Economists and others build up a data base neurologically from which they make decisions. Conscious decisions are a tip of the data iceberg. economi sts have certain philosophical values that implicitly make an existential pursuit of personal satisfaction the highest good, and that of course is consistent with the more primative and emotional regions of the brain making decisions that concatenated produces a socially incompetant economic management phenomena.
Instead of managing society realistically U.S.economics is stuck in neo-classical individuated (even when corporations are regarded as individuals) pursuits of happiness. Value bases of economics esentially do not evolve nearly as quickly as social viability requires in respect of advancing general challenges ecologically, economically and nationally.
For many years we have known that a low entropy economic foundation and full employment are exceedingly desirabe social values that will make society happier if accomplished. We haave also been aware of the Mexican drug cartel plaza phenomenon of entire border cities being controlled by particular criminal organizations packaging illegal cargo for shipment north to the lucrative drug consuming U.S.A. Entire cities and social infrastructure are corrupted to facilitate concealment of drugs and I suppose guns in the other direction. it is said that 90% of Mexican drug exports to the U.S.A. pass right through border inspection stations. That northern Mexico is dangerous for Tomato inspectors is thus not very suprising.
The neuro-cognitive philosophical inspections of the brain, mind and social economics reveal that the basic American investment in change is quite minimal regarding progress toward and ecological economic policy with real border control and advance of social content.
A particular neo-classical economic outlook and the historical neuro-cognitive dopamine reinforced decision making and selection of values to be reinforced as 'good' negates the possibility of correcting the bi-lateral American-Mexican border issues in a rational way empirically. The series of free trade agreements the United States has entered in to do about nothing to direct a comparative trade advantage, low entropy economic security in each nation without the corrupting effects of migratory labor and ecological habitat destruction. In Alaska polar bear habitat is still attacked by the state government filing lawsuits to remove federal habita protections. The Obama administration circumstantially might negotiate pie slices of Arctic litoral none-development zone with Russia, Canada, Denmark and other nations to preserve the integrity of the Arctic and its wildlife in a coordinated way yet there again we find the basic neuro-cognitive philosophical decision making inertia rewarded by the dopamine of 'the big score', speaking of which, I could use that piece of lemon merangue pie myself. The challenge is to find it in a new and socially beneficial way.
Mexican migrant laborers range from Alaska to Florida, Chicago to the Carolinas and California even while Americans are out of work. To retake control of the border a new ecologically beneficial border control zone-perhaps a canal to desalinate siphoned up seawater and irrigation and recreational areas on both sides of the border could be made a primary construction stimulus project. No harm mass ecological reconstruction on both sides of the border to create permanent work should be a bilateral political goal with an upgrade in Mexican civil life and identification within a decriminalized social environment equally a target of American economic self-interest. The difficulties are in moving away from the existentialist economics of personal egoism that destructively influence U.S. economic management goals.

King Herod's Tomb Discovered in 2007-Subsequent Excavations Provide Confirmation
An interesting article in Biblical Archeology Review (BAR) describes why the late author (died in October 2010 after an archeology accident at the site) believes much evidence exists to support his conclusion that the tomb of King Herod the Great of Judah has been found in Israel.
Herod built a city 12 years after fleeing from a Haesmonian rival, Mattathias Antigonus, supported by Parthians. Herod fled toward Masada and battled with Antigonus at the site where he would build his city. Herod won the battle and was reappointed King of Judah by the Romans.
http://www.bib-arch.org/bar/article.asp?PubID=BSBA&Volume=37&Issue=1&ArticleID=7
King Herod remained ruler of Judah until the birth of Jesus Christ around the year 4 b.c. Fittingly he died about the time the true ruler of Israel was born.

Miller-Murkowski Senate Contest Reaches Alaska High Court/etc.
So close to Christmas I should have some secrets of the Magi sort of report to write; how the space shuttle is visible in the northern night sky this time of year doesn't make that cut, nor does the helpful information that public toilet seat liners work best if you tear off the 'tongue' portion and flip the solid part forwar before setting it down instead of letting the tongue droop into the water and fall in. The Alaska Senate campaign is slightly more interesting yet not much.
The daughter of the 'Godfather' of present state politics former U.S. Senator and Governor Frank Murkowski won the race by 12,000 votes as an independent after losing the Republican primary. She won with thousands of crossover female democratic votes and repaid them by voting to end 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell'. During the campaign she said that Joe Miller would leave Alaskan with nothing out in the cold. I remembered that last night when I broke my notebook computer sleeping in my ten at about zero degrees, broke with a foot of new snow. The rich have a way of being the poor and desrving themselves even with millions and millions-wicked souls.
Miller took his suit to the Supreme Court Friday and it will decide if the state should throw out 10,000 contested ballots on which the spelling of Lisa Murkowski was not precise. This is not a trivial issue.
If a write-in name is not exact and requires discretionaryy interpretation of voter intent to award the vote to a candidate, there are numerous possibilities for corruption too obvious to mention. One example is the echo candidacy made to allow discretion by partisan election officials.
Lisa Murkowski is running as a registered write in, so the anti-Lisa M party decides to run their own write in candidacy for Lisa B Murkowsky as opposed tothe Lisa P Murkowski allowing sympathetic interpreters to award votes to the Lisa B candidacy. We find the amazonn.com effect of near misses ambiguity made to pull in hits or votes for a popular candicay part of the modern world of alpha numeric selection and dislike anything besides exact matches on either web sites to counting votes.
If Joe Miller loses in the Alaska State Court he may take it to the U.S. Supreme Court where it may be right up there with hanging chads as a controversy that could stand clarification. In Alaska an establishment exists that kicks back jobs and opportunity to an insider elite subserviant to global corporate resource developers over local and also is a prime hog on the federal pork barrel also kicking back to favorite insiders leaving the rest out in the cold. I would not doubt that some cheating might have occurred to swing the election Murkowski's way. A federal judge has certified the election yet declared as well that should the courts decide in favor of Miller and the erroneous ballots are thrown out, a recount held and possibilities of fraudulent votes investigated such that Miller wins 2000 more votes and takes the Senate seat, the certification can be changed to Miller.
If anyone has any idea how to repair the video screen of a notebook computer that is not cracked but just totally dysfunctional after being rolled over by a hip in a sleeping bag-let me know. Also of use would be instructions on how to transfer data from the notebook to another computer if the screen is not visible to log on and so forth.

Nation's Unemployment Rate Is Of Secondary Importance to U.S. Politicians and Corporatists
Federal economic policy presently is to serve the corporate world and concentration of wealth. Both major political parties have signed off on tax cut extensions for the wealthy. Each party supports free trade agreements that allows global corporations to export their products here freely. The corporate world and its profits are of primary concern to the wealthy and for their sycophantic employees. Corporate relocates labor globally in contracts and sub-contractual relationships. Neither the federal government and nits Harvard elites nor the Corporate elites are much concerned about keeping full employment in the United States nor driving up the value of labor in the United States.
So the nation's unemployed are in effect 'Waiting for Godot' like Samuel Beckett's character's Vladimir and Estragon for jobs that just might not appear. There is a surplus of unskilled labor in the world today and nationalism is not on the Congressional agenda. Employers are still outsourcing and consolidating increasing productivity and profits but no employment. There are lots of Japanese and multi-national factories in Mexico near the border taking advantage of NAFTA. To really increase employment in the U.S.A. economic reform to support national interest would need to occur and that isn't likely soon.
The Mexican border allows millions of illegal cheap workers to undermine the value of unskilled labor in the U.S.A. and in the construction industry, and Americans are becoming corporate sycophants rather than supporters of Democracy. The Obama-Falin-Romney style candidates are just yes-persons for global corporatism. That is not good for the world environment, for the prospects of unskilled and unemployed Americans.or much else for those on the wrong side of the great corporate divide in the U.S.A.

Wouldn't a Larger, Cheaper Draft Military Be Better for Afghanistan?
Since the volunteer military has had to fight a protracted nation rebuilding war the price for getting people to serve has skyrocketed. Wouldn't a return to a traditional military draft in order to keep a larger number of much lower cost recruits in Afghanistan be a more effective way to subdue the Taliban and unemployment in the United States?
Some Alaskans and those stranded for the winter in Alaska descry military service and man's inhumanity to man (or woman) yet are aware that if in a kill zone the best response is to move full speed ahead. Maybe the best way to have peace and security in Afganistan is just to move full speed ahead with a draft and remove the Bernie Madhof era corporate contracting Defense Dept. budget issues the Cheney-Halliburton-Bush I & II people dumped as if flummery were for the benefit of the U.S.A..
Privates in the Army famously got paid little before the volunteer era, and even after the volunteer military became a fact the wages were fairly low before the 9-11. With national unemployment presently between 10 and 20% it makes little sense to pay $21,000 a year for a recuit to serve in that nice, high, central Asian nation with such a wonderful people and beautiful scenery and clean air.
Americans are people very concerned about civil rights and a few care not to destroy what remains of the precious planetary fluids unpolluted that sustain life. Perhaps given an opportunity to lace on the boots of freedom the nation's recruitment offices will be overflowing as they were during the Spanish American war if they know they are serving not for money but instead for the satisfaction of knowing they have brought human warmth and compassion to those beyond the corporate networks.
Military draftees could receive free job training and maybe 500 dollars a month iincluding combat pay for the adventure of a lifetime and the opportunity ito serve the oppressed people of central Asia. Regular Army cooking could replace the sky-high Halliburton style of contract haute cuisine and Americans could return to being Americans with a history of public service.
The volunteer military has become top-heavy with military contractors charging premium prices and getting no bang for the buck in some instances. Elite military units could continue to handle much of the difficult combat tasks, yet ordinary Americans could handle a vast range of commonplace in-the-foxhole drudge duty and enjoy the opportunity to fire all of the guns on full automatic cycle even if at targets. Ordinary Americans could also provide the more common touch with Afghan civilians perhaps lacking in the Star Wars troopers like volunteer military.
With a draft to fill the ranks and deploy perhaps a 150,000 more soldiers to Afghanistan their could also be a large increase in Peace Corps type volunteers to build up a better high-tech, low maint. cost economic infrastructure for Afghanistan. Plainly to be effective in restoring liberty to the people of Afghanistan a more affordable, sustainable presence to reinforce peaceful social development in required.

Senate Votes to End Don't Ask Don't Tell- President Obama Will Start 'Men Without Chests' Military Era
President Obama will sign the measure this week to end D.A.D.T.-the policy requiring homosexuals to keep their non-heterosexuality to themselves. The change in Republican votes may have involved some secret deals for supporting tax cuts for the rich by Democrats. The tax cut extension passed last week.
A noted historian James Van Creeveld classified such personnel composition transitions within the 'Men Without Chests' era in his book 'The Culture of War'. Such transitions historically are implicit within a socially decadent cycle of civilization. Same-sex socialization in the military coincides with both major political parties in agreement on tax cuts for the wealthy that allow 1-2% of the people to own 25% of the nation's wealth as that concentration continues.

Congress/Obama Jobs Policy for Working Class 2010-2012: Wait for Godot
President Obama ran a campaign of hope for jobs and economic recovery. After two years ten to twenty percent of Americans out of work are waiting for Godot like Samuel Beckett's characters Vladimir and Estragon.
Tax cuts for the rich at historically low rates, an unsecured Mexican border admitting millions of illegal workers, foreign terrorists and smuggled explosives are governors working against tightening up U.S. labor supply. The other maladroit labor influences are the general surplus of cheap unskilled workers globally and corporate global relocation of workers and goods to maximally increase profits for their shareholders. A Democracy should prioritize looking after its own national interests.
Unfortunately as the highest value of wealth is founded presently on a quantitative consumption principle of non-renewable resources it may be that Adam Smith's Capital theory actual works with an invisible brain of minimal I.Q. to produce the most stupid environmental policy possible besides the invisible hand to pickpocket world resources most efficiently from Democracy and responsible small scale free enterprise.
Capitulating with a sigh to the incessant rhythm of sweet Republican economic admonishments by Senator McConnel and President Obama lame duck Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi at last yielded on tax cuts for the millionaires and billionaires for another two years-effectively until at least 2021. Waiting for the economist Godot these last two years unemployed independent voters now sit like Otis Redding at the dock of the bay watching the economic cruise ship of the rich sail away.
Captain Aguirre and the crew of the good ship S.S. 'Wrath of God' have a rich and sumptuous menu of Adam Smith on opium hor d'ouvres to devour as they consolidate wealth and expand financial network controls with the U.S. Government deeply in their pocket.
Creating headlines year after year now with deeper federal debt anticipated to grow to more than 20 trillion dollars by 2015, writers that council the fundamental wrong direction of globalism instead of nationalism, of public debt instead of solvency, of a healthy environment instead of one in decay, of full employment and a stable population within secure borders free of illegal immigrant workers seem as out in the cold as Ronald Reagan's economist David Stockman. Lifting up their horns to gore common sense political economics is no problem for the rich that own the media as well as increasingly, everything else.

Extra-Universes Bumping Into Our's May Have Made Their Marks in Rorshach'd WMAP Images
Scientific technological investigations of the early history of the physical universe lead to a profusion of innovative cosmological theories. N.A.S.A. Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Survey imaging provides the opportunity to regard a relic image of the energy deployment 300,000 years after the initial singular inflation of the Universe (1) in which we live.
http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn19887-microwave-radiation-map-hints-at-other-universes.html
One may seem what one wants in some scientific data. At the least, interpretations of the data must generally be drawn to association with substantially existing theories.
Because of the incompleteness and inconsistencies of the standard model of micro and macro cosmology string and membrane theories were stimulated into development along with mathematical constructions of various cosmological configurations. A wealth of new observational data such as WMAP and the apparent existence of dark energy and the increasing rate of expansion of space (though perhaps not time if separate from space as a field) have also served to stimulate new cosmological construction models. The WMAP images of the early energy picture of the Universe have permitted informed Rorschach interpretations of the ‘ink blot’ of the early universe.
Matter and anti-matter paradoxically combine to form one stable condition in which a Universe is not inflated into being. With the rise of field destabilization matter and anti-matter inflate parting ways and then recombine to annihilate each other as the recombination of the oppositely spinning particle pairs yielding energy in the process. There is a slight surplus of matter left over from the beginning as the chirility of matter has a slight advantage over anti-matter in recombination. Perhaps just one particle in a billion of matter survived the initial expansion and recombination in some theoretical portraits of the history of the Universe.
Matter and anti-matter may have existed as a super-particle or membrane before improbably processed into division. The concepts of The One have a religious significance as well as philosophical and scientific. Logically a monistic universe may divide into sub-component parts of a contingent nature. Ideas of a unification of physical forces in The One also tend to have a potential to surpass and nullify anything that temporally existed outside that state of divine mystery. Plotinus the neo-aPlatonist philosopher wrote 54 tractates on the subject of The One (as God) in a work called 'The Enneads. Well, to return to physical cosmology...
The One state is uncertain with knowledge incomplete. The WMAP images have given some cosmologists reason to postulate that other Universes bumped into the inflating Universe leaving holes or empty spaces in the more regularized field.
Of course these surmises about other Universes jostling ours like cedar saplings competing for light in a wild evolutionary field of infinite universes are made with several unproven elements in the foundations. Constructing a real building of tremendous size with many missing and hypothetical pieces isn’t safe. In cosmology building such abstract models is a tool for learning and research.
Making the anthropic principle seem normal within an evolutionary paradigm requires that the fine tuning of physical constants suitable for life isn’t a miraculous fact; instead it requires an infinite number of Universes to exist in order that natural selection of ‘just right’ universes for life amidst billions that are not can be explained without resort to faith in God. Well, learning science and Christian thought together several decades ago I regard maintaining separation between the two as unnatural and another hobgoblin of small minds, a zillion universes or just one, it is useful not to always expect particular answers about physical cosmology a priori.

Senate Moves Obama Tax Cuts Forward/Lards Up Spending Bill With 'Thousands of Earmarks'
The U.S. Congress seem like drug addicts with a need to spend. Screw the budget, screw the public debt-those seem to be the sentiments of the U.S. Senate today.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/12/14/AR2010121405271.html thousands of earmarks in Senate spending bill
http://www.outsidethebeltway.com/tax-cut-extension-deal-passes-first-senate-test/
U.S. public debt is nearly 14 billion dollars, and probably will double in seven years the way the lunatics are legislating.
The Democrats are disingenuous on the Obama tax cuts; they can let the cuts expire and get the Republicans to sign off on tax cuts for those earning less than $100,000 annually next year-how could the Republicans flunk on giving tax credits to anyone?

Select Parameters for Reforming the U.S. Economy (philosophically considered)
I've given the concept of how to rectify the American democracy thought enough to be aware of the problem that too large of social organization pose to society. A democracy does have a lot of power theoretically and they must to be really sovereign. A democracy must not allow any kind of social organization to form that rivals the government for real political power. It also must delete from existence disproportionate influence upon the government by elites.
One can consider Sparta and it's egalitarian social power and disdain for the accumulation of wealth. One can also consider the Athenian democracy and its battle with the elitists such as Socrates who wished to restore an oligarchy-Socrates was put to death for inciting three rebellions by youth. A democracy is in a perennial battle with elites that seek to subdue the people and hitch them as draft donkeys to pull their special field for nothing.
America today has basically lost the battle for liberty too corporatism and globalists. President Obama's tax cuts and Chinese outsourcing of jobs seems a Harvard marketing strategy Presidency. The President next may advocate small business in America produce authentic candy excrement that Americans will love to bite-in order to stimulate business...imagine the possibilities 'eat s... and be happy in a corporatist yoke America!
Then the Griswald-Palin administration may entertain the nation four years as social benefits are cut and the national debt reaches toward 30 trillion dollars from the 20 trillion the President plans on.
I believe it may be too late to repair the U.S.A. and that the tax cuts may become permanent because Republicans will take the Senate in 2012 as well as the Presidency I guess. Toynbean fin de sicle circumstances may evolve as the sea level rises globally.
I would have used a few remedies to radically transform the United States into an ecological economic, low-entropy nationalist economy featuring trade of serious international comparative advantage. I would limit the number of companies any citizen could own shares in to three. The maximum number of employees any business could have would be 5000. All citizens would have a minimum income in today's dollars of 6000 annually. Every citizen would own a small home with 1% interest at age 24 and the total cost would be no more than $30,000. There would be a zero net loss of biota on any land construction project.
II believe that II would secure the Mexican border against illegal immigration by making a field of berms and a canal to carry-evaporate-condense salt water to produce fresh water from Phoenix to the Gulf of Mexico. With water produced from siphoning saltwater from the higher Pacific than Gulf of Mexico and releasing it near Deming N.M. into the canal, providing a little extra solar power to makeup for the water removed, it might be possible to refill ancient Lake Bonneville than covered much of Utah until 10 or 15 thousand years ago. A fresh water lake 1000 feet higher in depth than today's Great Salt Lake, I would use the water to trickle out through spillways in Arizona and California for irrigation. Salt Lake City residents would be moved to lakefront property farther away. Perhaps the extra evaporation in the Rockies will help relieve future draughts caused by global warming.
I suppose the cost of ecologically recovering the United States into a new high tech insinuation of human benign occupational relationship would be about 150 trillion dollars. At least full employment could result from all the scientific research funded by society and of taxing the rich at a rate commensurate with U.S. history until the Regan administration. President Franklin D. Roosevelt wanted to tax the rich at a 100% rate during W.W. II and got just 93%. The tax rate in 1980 on the rich was 71%. The networks of ownership of the rich reduce social liberty to transform society reactively as a democracy must to challenging circumstances to a minimal level. One may see the resistance of corporate media today to global warming-a peer reviewed phenomenon and discern that corporatist influence is really quite a devastating influence on politics and ecological reform as well as full employment.
It is a fallacy that high taxation rates on the rich must somehow develop a socialist economy. A free enterprise founded democracy with a limit on capitalization of any individual or business is reasonable and consistent with democratic defense against oligarchy, tyranny and aristocracy. One cannot find the pro football player who can shovel 300 times more dirt in a day than an ordinary laborer. The social inheritance of inventing machines for mass production should not be used to give credit to individuals that leverage investment advantages to own everything as if they 'worked' for such wealth. A Warren Buffet or Bill Gates may be fair enough individuals in today's economy, yet no such capital accumulation serves the nationalist, ecological or environmental cause substantially. Neither does the accumulation of wealth beyond a certain percent of that of the average individual in a modern economy liberate society and free enterprise competition so much as repress it.
Never in the history of the present U.S. democracy has a rectification of fundamental economic parameters occurred. The founders existed in a mostly agrarian an exploratory society with increasing against in the under populated wilderness. It was not a full society without naturally occurring opportunity to own land. The founders did not by apricots from Turkey and hay for horses from Saudi Arabia. Without a direct reconstruction of the American economy to concentrate upon making a more human, personable, full-employment, ecologically recovering nationalist free enterprise society (one that lets pro football teams pay for their own sports stadia) things ahead politically may become very Orwellian I might guess.
One can consider Sparta and it's egalitarian social power and disdain for the accumulation of wealth. One can also consider the Athenian democracy and its battle with the elitists such as Socrates who wished to restore an oligarchy-Socrates was put to death for inciting three rebellions by youth. A democracy is in a perennial battle with elites that seek to subdue the people and hitch them as draft donkeys to pull their special field for nothing.
America today has basically lost the battle for liberty too corporatism and globalists. President Obama's tax cuts and Chinese outsourcing of jobs seems a Harvard marketing strategy Presidency. The President next may advocate small business in America produce authentic candy excrement that Americans will love to bite-in order to stimulate business...imagine the possibilities 'eat s... and be happy in a corporatist yoke America!
Then the Griswald-Palin administration may entertain the nation four years as social benefits are cut and the national debt reaches toward 30 trillion dollars from the 20 trillion the President plans on.
I believe it may be too late to repair the U.S.A. and that the tax cuts may become permanent because Republicans will take the Senate in 2012 as well as the Presidency I guess. Toynbean fin de sicle circumstances may evolve as the sea level rises globally.

Obama Tax Cuts, Large Science and Environmentalism Philosophically Considered
Hegelian dialects and Darwinian evolution may be abstracted synthetically by Marx towards a general millenarian idea of progress. Obviously homo faber is a theme of hierarchical advance. The reasons for dialectical or tri-electical neuro-technique invention by homo sapiens are fairly well understood now. It is possible to create cultures of synthetic reasoning for technical and scientifically founded innovation. These do not oppose empiricism or environmental sciences obviously; neither does large or small science presuppose or validate a given political-social epistemological theory such as Marxism. I like C.S. Pierce's tri-electical theory of mind's synthetic promulgation of new concepts as well an others of the 19th century. neuro-cognitive epistemological nominalism is a more existential introspection field than physical as is possible today.
In reading Dr. Henry Pollack's 2009 book; 'A World Without Ice' I found that Pollack mentioned the peer reviewed screening of the generally validated scientific finding of global warming. He compared that to the anti-global warming polemics distributed by the corporatist broadcast media outlets. That point is fascinating and an example of how science is while objective simultaneously non-political so far as it is scientific.
A question about the world being made a better place through knowledge and scientific method rightly should also consider if it isn't politics and democracy in particular that should select what of science should be applied broadly to the world. I mention this because the world assuredly is at several simultaneously challenging empirical-environmental crossroads from which to choose political directions.
We find the Obama tax cuts and January meeting with Chinese President Hu Jintao an abnegation of democracy and surrender to global corporatism. In U.S. history high taxes on the wealthy was an effective and essential way to pay for war and recession especially concurrently. Abe Lincoln started income taxes on the rich (those making more than $800 a year) during the civil war. Roosevelt wanted a 100% tax on the rich during the Second World War and got 93%. President Eisenhower benefited the U.S.with a tax rate higher than 70% on the rich-not until President Reagan's 1981 tax cuts did the rate on the rich in the most of the 20th century fall below 70%. With a 14 billion dollar public debt-scheduled to reach 20 billion or so in four years, and likely to triple in 20 years without tax increases and more effective publics pending in the United States the role of science will continue to increasingly be selected by elite corporate leadership and concentrated powers of wealth.
I believe that politics rather than science determines the social well-being of the public and affect of science on the public. A selection criterion of greed rather than empirical good for mankind tends to produce a bad environment patched up a little post hoc by government action against substantial media-corporate opposition. Instead of blaming science or knowledge for the mal-adaptations of technology to the environment and society it is more accurate to give politics the credit for destroying the health of the world environment.
I have no difficulty in imagining a 70% tax rate on those earning more than $250,000.annually in the United States with the excess, after the public debt is paid off, being invested in environmental restoration. I believe the restoration of the environment such as filtering out unnatural pollutants from watersheds would cost at least 150 trillion dollars. That would create a lot of jobs as well as new scientific research.
Democracy must be able to take the bull by the horns and rope it down. The rich and corporate concentrations of wealth allowed to increase unchecked can entirely subvert the free market and the freedom of then people of the United States through networking ownership and universal effective power. Democracy can adapt to a modern world being wary of corporations taking over government as Jefferson anticipated.
Corporations could be limited in size of employees and financial endowment as a percentage of the national wealth. Individuals too could be limited on capital concentration too a percent of the national wealth. Stock ownership by an individual might be restricted to just three corporations.
It is unlikely that any sort of social reformation returning to a realistic democratic environment without vast corporate networks owning and corrupting democracy nationally and internationally will occur. That fact seems to doom social evolution away from ecological restoration and toward a number of dystopian futures not so far off. it is a challenge to envision how a rectification toward a real democracy and free enterprise individualism might be actualized.
One wonders how erroneous apostles of Adam Smith as Karl Marx evolving through capitalism's trial, error and invisible hand of multilateral dialectic evolutionary utilitarianism can be distracted from such metaphysical rubbish when technological engines pay so well in material output providing comfort and power beyond necessity. Such security in comfort redundantly recurring along with the glory of scientifically and socially ignorant acquisitivness make the prospects for large science goading public politics into working for the public good in a more effective and efficient manner, unlikely.

Alaska Blogging Misc. Dec. 2010
Finally the temperatures are reaching below zero farhenheit in Anchorage. Up the hill in East Anchorage it is generally colder than toward the water, and a thousand feet higher in elevation.
Frost on the inside of a tent at this temperature can become a problem. It builds up on the inside and clogs up vents as well. If one has a propane bottle it is possible to warm the inside enough to melt the frost, yet it is possible to cold camp for several months evidently.
If camping at such temperatures goose down car coats are nice if not walking far enough to work up a sweat-they tend to freeze wet then and become ineffective. it is better to layer clothes such as a wool sweater and gore-tex parka shell to stay dry and warm simultaneously. If in Anchorage it is a good idea to have a coat that covers up the groin because the wind may blow 20 m.p.h. when its just ten or fifteen degrees f. making it possible to freeze skin below pants. Keep your notebook computer in the sleeping bag with you to prevent the battery from freezing solid and expanding.
I probably will reduce the quantity of posting here at gather for a while as winter issues and other concerns present.
'A World Without Ice' by Henry Pollack Phd is quite a good read. Published in 2009 it is an eye-opener. Its much warmer in Anchorage now than it was in the 1960s. The North Slope permafrost driving season has reduced from seven months to 3 or 4 months as the surface doesn't freeze hard enough due to global warming reportedly. In the future getting access to onshore oil drilling sites for maint. may be quite a problem when the driving season drops to a month or less.
U.S. Senate candidate Joe Miller has been given until Tuesday to fill suit with the Alaska Supreme Court to keep his investigation of voter ballot irregularities and election hopes alive. it is possible that some cheating could have occurred in the election-its happened elsewhere and the vote is reasonably close.

Obama Tax Cuts; Followed by Outsourcing Jobs tete-a-tete With Chinese President Hu Jintao
President Obama seems the role model for young republicans for homosexuality and corporatism today:if the Obama tax cuts for millionaires and billionaires go through in the final collapse of the democratic majority in congress they are unlikely to be repealed before 2021. The national public debt by then might be 30-40 trillion dollars. President Obama has scheduled the Chinese president to visit Washington D.C. in January to consult on outsourcing more U.S. jobs to China.
Ambassador John Negroponte comments on the Hu Jintao visit...

The Obama administration turns out to be the Harvard global corporate marketing strategy p.r. team. President Hu Jintao will find a friendly face in Commerce Secretary Gary Locke, the first generation born in America former Governor of Washington of Chinese ancestry. With the Harvard global marketing team wrapping up the supremacy of billionaire and millionaire networks driving the final nail in the ongoing crucifixion of democracy in the U.S.A., the prospect of a Republican Grisvald –Palin administration in 2012 seems likely, if not that of Mitt ‘Knute’ Romney asking Americans to ‘go out and win one for the billionaire’.

A Sino-American Corporatist-Socialist elite management axis of power has developed so far as to undermine democracy in the United States. Democracy must reign in corporate and individual concentration of wealth in order that all citizens may have an equal opportunity for freedom and quality of life. It may be an onerous taxation task, yet someone has to do it. Failing to tax the wealthy at a 70% rate allows the beneath the surface concentration of power and influence to grow quite counterproductively to the interests of a democracy. If citizens of a democracy do not have the intestinal; fortitude to control the concentration of wealth and power they will give up their right to be free as well. It is notable that the Spartans-an historically free and self-reliant although morally extreme people, disdained individual wealth.
