" I seen much war in my life and I detest it profoundly. But there are worse things than war, and they all come with defeat"- Hemingway
The Bush administration has defeated American energy independence and balanced budget efforts for the present. ANWR has been set up for oil drilling bowlers for whom the Senate victory two days ago was sweet. They have sought to plunder it for more than 20 years. Ernst Hemingway and the international brigade lost to Spanish fascists and also experienced the bitter pill of defeat.
Hemingway and so many of the leftist leaning writers tended to line up with the leftist Republicans in the Spanish Civil War that of course lost to the fascist forces of Franco and the Flangists started by Rivera. More than a million died in that war that started when the elected leftist government was deposed by a fascist coup d'etat being reduced in the north and south by fascist gains down to an interior rump from Madrid to their sentimental home at Barcelona. The loss by the non-fascist forces did allow Franco's fascists to rule until the 1970's, and the class-oriented alterity to civil opportunities would have been terrible to some.
In some ways there are parallels between the GW Bush profit in the coup d'main of 9-11 that made their political consolidation and eventual plundering opportunities of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge a veritable fait accompli and the Republican-Fascist struggle in the 1930s in Spain. The leftist leaning, or at least liberal leaning advocates of human rights and civil rights in the United States have been temporarily crushed by trans-national neo-corporatist forces.
The economic infusion of new blood and power into the U.S. Military industrial complex and de rigueur patriotic loyalty to foreign oil for fuel as well as the plundering of ANWR has put trans-national oil companies into the driver's seat for the next few decades to take the Congress where they like. Neo-Corporatism requires the subordination of democracy to corporate will, free expression may be co-opted indirectly instead of through law. Property rights, individual rights and national economic self-reliance may be subverted and subjugated in order to allow the growth of large trans-national corporate political and economic hegemony over the U.S.A. presently. Wal-Mart is a very large corporation that has the advantage of communist suppliers in China or at least communist ruled suppliers in China, and a vast labor pool of low-paid, non-union American employees that are perhaps not of a first rank caliber.
The effects of the combination are to have cheap products and a cheap workforce centrally directed initially by the Walton family, and eventually by trans-national stockholders. That sort of collectivized clump of people and business presently seeking even to draw in 'entrepreneurs' to their office supply products tend to drown out independent American competitors. It is just one way that the power of trans-nationals and broadcast transnationals are collectivizing the U.S.A. and co-opting it politically into a neo-Corporatist context.

One might theorize various social structures regarding the way the United States is presently structured and consider its speed and form in vectoring to international power. Too many voters have a residual cold war alternator paradigm of socialism/communism or transnational corporations. In the 1950's and 1960's transnational corporations were not as influential upon American lifestyles as they are today. The choice of capitalism or communism isnot appropriate for the 3rd millenium.Instead the paradigm should be How can individualism be retained in the poltical environment when trans-nationals have so much collective power to control economics and government? The problem is in awakening a political intelligence in America that would require politicians to conserve the physical and geographic health and prosperity of a tripartite political form in environmentalism, immigration and economics.
Some opponents of American liberalism have sought to destroy the fundamental concepts of liberalism that have been the foundation of the U.S. Democracy from the beginning. Liberalism was about inbdividual rights of property and properties of rights...it was never about collective rights or communes, nor about homosexuality expropriating marriage to kill that institution and make it a disposable debauchery certificate for economic purposes. Liberalism is coopted by trans-nationalist that hate American enegy independence and the prosperity of individuals outside of corporate control...at least as employees they can be fired if non-conformist.
Conformation racks of bombs in military aircraft are like those social roles the broadcast media and Hollywood set for the masses to fall into,roles in which intelligence and independence are undesireable,and in which conformity to expectations and standards set by trans-national CEO's are overwhelmingly determinative. Don't get me wrong; in no way am I am optimist regarding the American ability to free themselves from the 'conservative' transnational power during the next 30 years. I expect the normal four year cycle of politics to remain subordinated to trans-national structures and conformation. Enough celebrity trials and foreign involvements will keep the mildly politically interested daft. When President Bush meets with President Vicente Fox in a few days he will be discussing what is truly of importance the trans-national and thus American interest. Actual national politics primarily of interest to Americans were outsourced.
The U.S. war in Iraq stopped a Democide of innocents, and perhaps may bring a democracy to exist experimentally for a time, yet it's coupling with trans-national oil interests that are fundamentally inimical to continuing national infrastructure and technological progress and that leave a vast cost of economic externalities for future generations to pay is devastating. OPEC recently met in Iran to discuss world oil production and pricing. They are already pumping to capacity because they want to cash in on the high prices,and thus cannot really increase output much even if they say they will. Luckily for OPEC and the Trans-national Oil companies demand for oil is increasing all over the world, and supply can't increase much, Americas began dropping long ago. International terroism can keep rasing prices as over-supply occurs or if prices or demand drop, by targeting pipelines and infrastructure in oil producing nations.
That ability of muslim terrorists to drive up oil prices and keep Muslim OPEC nation coffers overflowing will perhaps moderate the interest of OPEC members in capturing Bin Ladin, a family member of President G.W. Bush's oil business partner in Midland Texas years ago. Fundamentalistmuslims may learn to vote for leaders, yet in the transnational era the Democracy may be coopted by oil interests, terrorists, and or clerics on a secular platform that are careerists rather than devotees of God.
Gary C Gibson. - 11:03am Mar 18, 2005 EDT (#21 of 25) ...Fundamentalist muslim revolutionaries in the mid-east awash with oil money may also perpetrate terrorism on trans-nationals and Americans. Inventions and new technology for U.S. Ground transport infrastructure is the immediate price being paid by giving Pres G.W. Bush a second term to swagger stick the foreigners threatening American trans-nationals and cowering some voters perhaps (they voted for him a second term).
Oil reliance and rotting infrastructure is the price paid. As foreign interests prosper the nation is economically down-sizing to a collectivized lot of SUV driving followers of trans-nationals brainwashed by trans-national corporations that own mass broadcast corporations. The infrastructure reliant on fossilfuels and the lack of political will to be better and more efficient than foreign competitors serve to reduce the nation's long term prospects. While middle easterners and other OPEC member nations propsper and radicalize on oil profits, China's economy swells while America's comparatively lags behind. WHile neighbor nations should have good prosperous and environomentally sound lives too,trans-nationals aren't looking after U.S. interests, but their own international stockholders.
Gary C Gibson. - 12:57pm Mar 18, 2005 EDT (#23 of 25) I believe there may be two theoretical basis for political structures fundamentally...they are class and individuality. Individuals may be recognized and represented as in the U.S. constitution.
I believe there may be two theoretical basis for political structures fundamentally...they are class and individuality. Individuals may be recognized and represented as in the U.S. constitution.
Alternatively there may be class structure approaches that seek to represent themselves exclusive with abstract legal definitions. It is a paradox that classes of the rich, classes of trans-national corporation owners, classes of slaves and classes that recognize themselves or are recognized by adverse others pro forma have a class structure approach in common with the Marxist paradigms of classes before supposedly a classless society would arrive.
The problem with compulsory classlessness is that it requires a draconian authoritarian government to enforce it usually molding everyone into just one class that can be considered as a non-class for the purposes of propaganda organs. In the decadent phase of a modern society, that one might consider to be a form of Tybee’s universal phase of a civilization in a dilute form, actual control of borders and such would be replaced with paper redefinitions of classes and structures to accommodate the political reality of the day.
President Bush's meeting with Vicente Fox may work to further yield physical control of the border and economy. Like a man with a foot on two ice floes moving apart, at some point the President must choose to stand on one or the other or fall into the cold, dark sea. He cannot be a transnationalist and a nationalist simultaneously.
The President cannot be a post-modern nationalist that seeks an independent energy infrastructure for individuals perhaps produced by home fuel cells tied into highway power lines for electric cars while remaining in the transnational camp.
When the World Bank was established it was supposed to have some sort of impartial purpose of benefaction for the rest of the world. That it was headquartered in Washington DC instead of Nairobi and that it's head was appointed by the President of the United States were just happy meals for Americans. With the appoint of World Bank President Wolf, that facade of impartiality has finally rotted away to reveal a rather clumsy administration preference for transnational power over the second and third world led by the oil oligarchs.
Some politicians like Rep. Gary Miller of California believe they can keep native born children of illegal aliens from becoming U.S. citizens by passing a law to deny them the right. That approach of creating classes of citizens to paper over political reality is of that decadent Toynbean paradigm of making fictions in law and convoluted classes while disregarding fact. It is a method usually followed by the kicking in of the rotting door of the nation by an internal and external proletariat...yet it works for a time, as the once creative majority becomes a repressive minority.
Class structures are an undesirable format if one wants to create and sustain a society with social equality and justice for all individuals. Citizens must be wary of concentrated wealth in collective businesses and its potential and actual adverse political influences on the self-determination and political and social equality of individuals. False classlessness such as an authoritarian government within a Marxist paradigm is an extreme repression of individual liberty. Petite collective social paradigmata such as transnational corporations present and mass collectives such as are found in communism present solid challenges to Americans seeking to conserve a primacy of personal self-reliance and liberty independent of global corporate rule.
Obviously many Americans just don't care enough about the slow transition to diminished national economic and political liberalism enough to select politicians that will halt the downward spiral of the United States into the maelstrom of a Babylonian Trans-Nat. empire with it's feet on every shore. Isolationism isn't required

"And thoughts like that above can be used as lazy dismissals of political reality that is too complex to handle." reply "Public Relations and the Media" #147, 17 Mar 2005 3:41 pm Zebra, I am glad that you recognized your limitations and tendency to write brief, lazy posts too often critical of others in order to compensate for your intellectual deficiencies. Incidentally, "are" would have been a better choice than "is" in your false proposition. Obfuscating issue is a tendency that the unscrupulous utilize as a primary method of argumentation about political issues, along with ad hominems and straw men arguments. It serves to support unsupportable and untruthful points without making an honest effort to objectively reason. I put consideral work into my social sciences and humanities researches, and once got a 99% rank on the CLEP general social sciences and history exam. Of course the crooked don't appreciate CLEP testing sometimes, because it isn't a class oriented turf approach to prosperity or grades in college. The knee jerk red herrings regarding socialism and communism are simply that when the subject is environmentalism or ANWR, unless one is writing about political packages in addition to environmentalism perhaps, or feudalism and the environment, the mafia and the environment, gangs and the environment, gangs and natural resource extractions and so forth. In the little West Texas town that I am in today there is a large billboard on the main highway to Austin. It has a picture of a lime green, dented 1970 approx. Ford Comet, or whatever the name of that car was that looked like an oversized Pinto. On the door of the car painted over the dent is a dark green paint in the shape of the state of Alaska roughly. The caption on the billboard reads "Your first car was ugly, Texas doesn't have to be". Below and to the right was the standard state of Texas motto for highway programs "'Don't Mess with Texas". When I first saw that sign after returning from the West it made me relize how predatious the administration is regarding oil in ANWR. To an Alaska it is an avoidable declaration of plunder, and the right to mess up Alaska. Alaska can just become like Texas after all, and the old growth of the Tongass Forest can be cut down too. The local newspaper had the large type headline 'Senate Opens ANWR Drilling' or something similar, as if it was VE Day or something (these West Texans will take those Alaska jobs, wouldn't hire me, and in this locale I couldn't get enough of a minimum wage opportunity to buy a boat and get out of the damn adverse turf. To remain is to be time trimmed. As a Christian one must use rationalization when people without as much personal ability get so far ahead materially, and when their ethos and supremacy as a class becomes such an onerous experience.That corrupting class selects the more inefficient transport methods to prosper themselves and there progeny happy not to look ahead, counting on better weapons and the kindness of strangers.. Below the Newspaper headline is a photo of a Karate do-er close up, with another little headline...Champion Martial Artist Tosses Chumps or something similar (I didn't buy the paper) it cost 50 Cents. Politics and media relations affect the outcome of events, and reveal the inner intentions of powers sometimes. If people are working on political issues such as the defense of ANWR from transnational wolves attacking in packs, it isn't helpful to have the chaff of off-topic social philosophy tossed in at critical moments. Sure you might argue without relevance on another topic like illegal immigration and why environmentlists aren't opposing it, yet a reasonable individual should comprehend that they are different issues, although one can find a common set of phenomena involved in it at a certain level.

I recommend that you purchase all of my Waveform Politics books (try Borders books or http://www.Lulu.com/GaryCGibson for a discount-and use UPS Media Mailing for the lowest price-shipping take about 10 days) to get up to speed on what my point of view is. In California a Rep Gary Miller is introducing legislation to deprive native born children of illegals of U.S. Citizenship. He has trouble recognizing that the children didn't choose to be born in the U.S.A., and that it's their native country when they are born in the U.S.A. Geography and political issues are inextricably linked in most important cases, in some way. Politics including environmental issues involve self-determination geographically. Congress should defend the borders against illegals instead of trying to become nazis deporting innocent babes to some other nation than that of their birth. Geography is an important part of the idea of natural rights, if that is corrupted and obfuscated any sort of bs could be promulgated as law at the behest of trans-national corporations and the ovens of Auswitch could swingingly be reopened for business eventually. Judiciaries have a jurisdiction that historically is territorially based. The right to be free must be inalienable instead of alienated immediately be quank act of Congress.
One must be free some place, instead of in an abstract document. Lawmakers lose sight of physical reality perhaps as it pertains to cizitens best interests, and instead pursue the interests of transnational corporations or foreign princes and potentates developing an allegiance to filthy lucre sourced abroad in Chines or Indian loans, in the Suadi or Kuwaiti Royal families or wherever. Those lawmakers do not have an aggressive interest in securing a balanced budget, nationally self-reliant infrastructure at least in a few vastly red or deficit generating foreign trade areas and so forth. Those lawmakers are free to legislate in the financial and environmental best interests of U.S. Citizens instead of foreign and trans-national corporations...they just don't always. Then of course there is the scurrilous notion that trans-national corporations must somehow plunder ANWR in order to guard against socialism. While a communist dictatorship doesn't traditionally allow individuals to opt out, in practice vast trans-nationals have oppressing power and develop economic hegemony over transport and political processing to such an extent that ordinary citizens as individuals cannot readily 'opt out' or dissent either...and then of course sometimes the corporations or endowed collectives become mean and actually target and obstruct individuals deemed to be osticles to their consolidation of power and wealth derived from sales to the public or acquisition of public lands for their own leveraged use. When laws and citizenship become so flimsy and simply tools of the powerful democracy has been lost.

Quank Realism in the Corporate World
Gary C Gibson. - 02:19pm Mar 17, 2005
(#142 of 144)
There are many people that are naive realists that believe macro-economic policies contain no concatenated environmental effects, and that the world has an unlimited carrying capability for human population growth and physical alterity.
Malthus early on formalized his population theories after working for the East India Company. The Ricardo developed the iron law of wages predicated on maimum human fecundity. Businesses often haven't the budget to hire philosophers to form competant environmental awareness and social responsibility doctrines for them; instead they work simply on the most growth possibile. It is a driving drunk and blind policy analogously when concatenated to the planetary level.
Rush Limbaugh sells cigars and assaults socially responsible environmentalist with the most depricatory and anti-democratic language he can...he is bought and paid for in that regard philosophically speaking. Like a made man in the mafia he cannot quit the economic mileau in which he and others of his sort wallow and remain employed or socially relevant.
In the quank-realism growth school of ignorance there are no limits to growth, and if any environmental problems ever develop they can be solved by free-enterpise and capitalism at that time. Ignored is the actual hiostory of pollution and environmental disasters and deleterious effects created as byproducts or externalities of economic enterprises.
The quank-realist school of ignorance posits absurd political straw men arguements to defend at minimal cost the right of at least capitalists to be environmental irresponsible. When the environmental havoc that the former Soviet Union created was revealed after the fall of 1989, the mass media and U.S. Government were too happy to publicize it. Now a quank-relaist tactic of cheap defense is to accuse any environmentalist of being 'wacko' or socialist, leftist or even North korean-as if Kim Il is a well-known benefactor of the Korean Peninsular environment.
In the quank-realist school capitalists at the last minute well step forward to spend for the public's benefit, instead of just the public paying taxes as it has generally been financed. Since the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill the number one coporation on Earth in wealth-Exxon...has litigated and litigated ad nauseum to resist with the fire of a tiger in it's tank, paying off the damages/judgement against it.
In the quank-realist school of social irresponsibility the last generation will pay the concatenated externalities of generations of corruption. The deleterious bilogical effects of exterminating species and social brainwashing will have formed a set dtermined by natural selection of the crass and ignorant, irresponsible and greedy to the point of being daft votaries of a bound value system.

There may be many socialists hiding in the federal government and in trans-national corporations too....since they are de facto collectives with a graduated pay scale...and don't forget the military.
Social organizations are collectives with a dedicated purpose to enrich themselves in many instances. Sometimes they seek to use public resources like North Slope Oil to benefit the few.
It is worth recollecting that trans-national corporations are not individuals going about there individual business, but are instead vast concentrations of wealth managed by a few to their own purpose. It is wrong to treat those clumps of social power as just any other individual, politically. Otherwise one might say that Japan Inc or Communist China are simply one organization, maybe bigger than Exxon in number of people yet not as rich financially perhaps.
The historical inertia behind anti-communism that continues into present U.S. right wing rhetoric is generally a way to divert discussions from useful and reasonable contexts onto those of straw men argumnents. Of course one doesn't want authoritarianism from any source repressing rights, yet the environmental movement to conserve clean air and sufficient natural habitat to perpetuate the most species possible is a valid public venture. It is preserving Noah's ship if you will.
People are confused...I replied thus to a question about 'Is Heaven Communist?'
''Communism was a human social philosophy based on a macro-economic policy of the 19th century. The eventual heaven hasn’t anything to do with human economic policy, nor of course the problems implicit in the criterion of orignial sin.
Karl Marx reading GWF Hegel and a contemporary of Charles Darwin had some ideas about change and perhaps the idea of evolution. The simple messianic derivation of creating a Utopian State that would be a Heaven on Earth was a miscreation parallel to that of the historical Satan's jealosy of God and eventual fall from grace.It is an ancient story derived even by Freud in a form known as the Oedipus complex in which the son desires to displace the father. Satan sought to displace God, while Jesus was the perfect filial son serving the Father even unto the loss of His own life on Earth.
The categories of words, language and scenarios are important elements in rightly understanding meanings and inferences from them. One must remember that on Earth Christianity is a transtemporal philosophy or belief/faith in the ultimate and true God-Creator of Heaven and Earth.Heaven is an element of the nature of God and his power to will or create. Human social organizations haven;t anything at all similar to it. ''

It may be that there is a coinciding interest of terrorists and authoritarian governments in limiting the availability of air travel to those on politically correct lists. Terrorists seek to intimidate 'corrupting' foreign elements from interfering with their national or tribal sovereignty, and neo-Corporatists wish to limit the opportunities for dissidents and the uncoopted to conduct business in a rival form. Gosh, it could even be that Satan seeks to extend his realm from broadcast spirits and cohort brainwashed minions into physical air travel roster selections. Life has so many possibilities!
Yet airlines burn jet fuel and increase oil company market size, they will thus be around long after they could have been replaced by faster ground traffic in electro-magnetic arrays I should think. Like fossil fuel engines they are a vital sales and profit outlook for the oil ex officio zaibatsu or shogoshosa if that word is spelled correctly.
When I attended an air defense school some years ago learning to identify Migs as old as Fitters and Fishbeds to the post-modernists and French air vehicles from U.S. aircraft I realized that the wild blue yonder doesn't provide much cover for aircraft from direct ground fire. Not only rockets like stingers or direct fire weapons like the Vulcans existed, but commercial jets and even military jets that haven't a VTOL capability might utilize regular landing takeoff and approach patterns. They present regular and fairly simple targets to innovative hunters of the big birds unfortunately. It is an ironic fact that a new generation of very advanced direct fire weapons based on electro-magnetic accelerator technology has found its way into weapons such as pistols and rifles, ship cannon and SDI rail guns yet not into peaceful high-speed ground transportation.
It was Robert Goddard that first invented the idea of building an EMG subway from Boston to New York early in the 20th century to be turned down by the Federal Government. Even Popular mechanics has ads in the back selling EMG accelerator kits for 120 dollars for experimental purposes. The simplicity of emgs to build and exist conceptually seems to offer the inference that over time they may be fielded by terrorists with or without covert government support to assault aircraft as the political utility of such to elevate the prospects of political beneficiaries indicates.
The Bush administration isn't helping to grow a non-war ethos in the world. While conflicts may arise ostendsibly for good reasons there should still be intelligent and aggressive pursuit of rational macro-social alternatives to conflict that are cognizant of the economic, energy and environmental limiting factors that could by-pass the stupid and blundering ways of inertial invention and application sloth. The world is of a limited extent, and the physics of it are understood fairly well by some at least, it will be a good day if the nation ever returns to a leadership with intelligence, and one that isn't some sort of a Spanish C.W.style P.O.U.M. character.
It should be able to work in the existential-environmental fields with scientific intelligence, instead of with discordant off-pitch tweakings. If only President Bush had learned to play the guitar, instead of being a sort of Carlos Hathcock snipping up environmental policy. Yet like General George Washington, who could have been shot by a snipper at Brandywine Creek but was spared because the Brit would not back shoot GW riding away mounted, the environment too may be honorably addressed and remediated by objective souls unto a sustainable course. Will SEN. Hillary or S.S. Condi start using steroids in 2006?

The physical Universe exists within the will of God. At the largest and smallest scales it's parameters are unknowable except as revealed by Non-Contingent Being.. The scalable universe is rational.
Epistemological criteria for human intelligence and its nature are necessarily an issue with those contemplating the ability of humanity to recognize issues such as what is or isn't true,what truth is, if truth is immutable and unchanging, if people are able to formulate true ideas regarding the cosmos or subjective neoro-psychology and neuro-psychological cosmologies with veracity...etc.
Postulates that are answered more than tautologuously would be an element of a process. Is extra sensory perception a phenomenon of the non-locality of waveforms and sub-atomic particles/waves, and a number of other questions and criterion pertain to what one postulates. In considering various questions regarding the nature of the physical universe and its history, as well as the contents of the Bible it is helpful to accurately comprehend the contents of each and whatever else is used for rational investigation tools and studies. Some still believe the Big Bang theory instead of the hyper-inflation theory with a space-time inflaton ballon instead of a detonation of a singularity into a pre-existing vaccuum.
Cosmologies will come and go, farther and better structured cosmologies will arise, and the Codex Sinanticus will be put online over the next four years to give the earliest exisiting bible in the original greek to scholars and others that want to see what was written in the first to fourth centuries without the possible alterity of scribes in subsequent millenia. Each element of the cosmos and the Bible may be integrated and contemplated,humans see through a glass darkly, and mathematicians must utilize non-visualizable mathematics to model some super-string and M-Theory cosmologies.
Many of the ideas formed about the Universe are simply Kantian and phenomenal in character-yet not without purpose. Even this post excerpt about water changes as understanding changed... " In the beginning God said let their be light, and their was light. Of course it might have taken several billion years which were to God as a day figuratively speaking before human eyeballs could evolve to process incoming photons via a chemical reaction in the retina through bionerve pathways into images and forms in the brain of phenomenalities of the 'outside' world.
In the meantime the most abundant element in the Universe formed-hydrogen, as well as other elements through star formations and nuclear reactions following the coalessence of waveform particles through gravitational force and pressure. Water (H20) was eventually abundant, and the water was divided from the heavens and the Earth eventually...after enough material swirled into compaction to form a planet such as the Earth, enough water fell to Earth's surface from 'the heavens' to permit an oceanic slosh of water to accumulate.
Water ice is still plentiful in 'the heavens'. Heaven of course may be different things at different times to different people in different languages and cultural contexts. Freedom is free, or svaboda as those clever Russian rocket scientists might say, yet interpreting natural history and finding present technologies than can advance space exploration toward the future can be a tedious process requiring much inventiveness and liberal determination.
The heaven that God has for-himself...that is,not the one that people think of as space but the one that is the pure realm of potential and actual forms expressed by the infinetly creative will of God, is a difficult concept for humanity to comprehend sometimes, yet emulating the infinite goodness of God so far as anyone can comprehend even a bit of anything about the creator all everything, is worth doing in creative technological research."

The President and Americanism with Oil on It (Baked Alaska)
- Reason and faith can discover a cosmic structure fit for rational parameters subject unto God's moral law.Baghdad's police chief could have used one of those nice light armored personnel carriers (not an M-113) to stay alive when driving about the city between ambush points, such as some British soldiers once used in the former conflict in Northern Ireland. Common sense should be an element of democratic planning, yet it is something the Democrats tend to lack and the Republicans a surfeit of. Mr. G.W. Bush has launched his northern prong of the two part second term offensive with three years remaining on the mission to conquer the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and annihilate the resistance to complete reliance on foreign and OPEC oil resources forever, and the southern offensive to eviscerate U.S. social security with illegal aliens, cheap shock workers, another two trillion taxpayer indebtedness to foreign lenders and so forth.
The Presidential plundering of oil is going according top plan with oil prices and profit for Exxon-Mobil and Halliburton predictably up. Neo-Corporatism indirectly oppresses free expression and controls markets while subordinating free enterprise small businesses as they grow to eliminate rivals. Neo-Corporatism and trans-national stockholders of American economic developments will tend to marginalize and outright oppose renovations or revolutions in national energy and transport infrastructure. Neo-Corporatist transmissions will condition the public to rave and denigrate individual rights while corrupting liberalism in a reductionism of independence to the meaning of debauchery. Neo-Corporatism will define individualism as communism and corporatism as independence and capitalism.
Though Muslims from non-oil producing nations like Spain may declare a FATWA on Os Bin Ladin, the U.S. administration may not reign in the terrorist from a family of a former Bush oil business partner before GWB leaves with the swag bag stuffed to overflowing and the nation with a legacy of vast debt in 2009. Is the middle east moving toward democracy, or are the people set to reject rule by people that cut off their heads to double their pleasure and terror when not blowing themselves up with plastic explosives in public places...it is possible. Yet is America moving toward neo-Corporatism with transnational rule adversely impacting national economic and social development would seem to be a more interesting question.
Americans seem presently to readily inclined to fall in step with neo-corporatist or pseudo-authoritarian government so long as it doesn't market itself that way and as they are moderately prosperous even if there is a vast national debt and present federal budget deficit. Democracies have the inherent problem of arousing the people to action against clear and present dangers while failing to create a stir in their troubled sleep against more complex economic and political dangers, even from within. The public may be briefed 24 times a day on the Michael Jackson trial, and fail to consider more substantial economic issues at length. The public relies on neo-corporatist media to inform them of important issues in a way that is similar to a public that would trust an oil man to safeguard ANWR, discover alternative fuels to replace oil, or lower the cost of oil per barrel. The U.S. democrats will be conditioned by neo-corporatists to believe that debauchery, homosexuality etc. are the main issues for Americans...until the wave hits there door they can't believe it could-reasonable concern is Chicken Littlish.
Democracies tend to be manipulated by corporate entertainment into disregard of their own best political interests-even the British magazine the Economist had a homosexual photo mocking the sailor kissing the wife at the end of WW II with a sailor dude smooching another dude instead...the Brits have royal tradition and a corrupting urban environment that promotes depravity while making profits for transnationalists. Authoritarianisms sometimes like public...

The second Bush administration has now set into it's three year mission to redistribute two billion dollars of taxpayer indebtedness to Wal-Street and agitate, lever and finesse the plundering of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuger. It woulds have been good if the Democratic Party the last election had run an electible candidate instead of a self-described warp criminal.
With 300 million citizens and perhaps half theoretically affiliatedf in some way with the Democratic Party at least throuigh familial associations it is remarkable that they must run such dogs without fundamental qualities such as could make them phi beta kappas, movie stars and sof forth aloing with some record of public service. How can the alternate party be so bloody lame?
The Demo Party in removing the Republicans from the Presidential office in 2008 need to stay away from divisive immoral issues and focus on environmental, economic and national security issues instead. Fundamental lack of respect for basic human rights and the civil liberty of equal regard for the rights of others is a pervasive and damaging consequence of becoming mired in the corruption of the homosexual and abortion agenda's, and the Hollywood entertainment of Democrats with their products that make the masses prime chumps for Global Corporate leadership.
Social Security is a part of a more general social environment of national security and self-reliance. Secure borders, a tightened labor market and better savings rate for ordinary citizens, alternate nationally produced vehiclesx running on home-produced fuel-cell electric power fed into in highway power grids (with aux batteries), higher wages for low paying jobs that cannot be outsourced when illegal aliens aren't available to fill them...social security can be found in people paying more social security taxes because they have higher wages to pay them wiith, and because their would be a means test to prevent people from collecting monet they don't need as in any reasonable insurance policy.
It is evident some Democrats want the genius of Mr. G.W. Bush to emerge and be allowed free reign to lead the people with tough guy speeches into a malleable political form that wwill stuff the stocking of global corporations for decadesa to come grabbing the people by the short hairs now. Yet the people were daft enough to reelct the President when no one was run against him with suitable qualifications for the job. The elected Bill Clinton to a second term too unfortunately when the perfectly decent Bob Dole was available.
Will Chelsea Clinton be available to keep the dynasty alive in 2026, or will Neal Bush seek to take the top job after G.W.'s other brother serves two terms...wait and see as oil price rise to 5.00 a gallon, ANWR is a swamp without oil underneath having subsided a bit too in global warming? AT least those new high tech tires with no inflatable rubber will be out in a year or four.

Comet Wrangling
Would it be practical for N.A.S.A. or space entrepreneurs to intercept comets with their abundance of frozen water and redirect their course to a lunar orbit for the purpose of providing a water resource to early colonizers of the Earth's moon?
Some studies have been researched to suggest that various forms of extraterretrial body intercept technologies should be developed to forestall another planetary impact of a life on Earth ending asteroid or very large meteor. The ion engines and other parameters considered might as well be adapted to regular water supply provisioning and have ongoing value instead of being simply mothballed as a potential emergency tool. In ongoing use the comet and asteroid moving technology could evolve in efficiency through practical application.
In the beginning God said let their be light, and their was light. Of course it might have taken several billion years which were to God as a day figuratively speaking before human eyeballs could evolve to process incoming photons via a chemical reaction in the retina through bionerve pathways into images and forms in the brain of phenomenalities of the 'outside' world. In the meantime the most abundant element in the Universe formed-hydrogen, as well as other elements through star formations and nuclear reactions following the coalessence of waveform particles through gravitational force and pressure. Water (H20) was eventually abundant, and the water was divided from the heavens and the Earth eventually...after enough material swirled into compaction to form a planet such as the Earth, enough water fell to Earth's surface from 'the heavens' to permit an oceanic slosh of water to accumulate. Water ice is still plentiful in 'the heavens'.
Heaven of course may be different things at different times to different people in different languages and cultural contexts. Freedom is free, or svaboda as those clever Russian rocket scientists might say, yet interpreting natural history and finding present technologies than can advance space exploration toward the future can be a tedious process requiring much inventiveness and liberal determination.
The heaven that God has for-himself...that is,not the one that people think of as space but the one that is the pure realm of potential and actual forms expressed by the infinetly creative will of God, is a difficult concept for humanity to comprehend sometimes, yet emulating the infinite goodness of God so far as anyone can comprehend even a bit of anything about the creator all everything, is worth doing in creative technological research.
Rounding up a fair water supply for future lunar colonization should be an affoirdable and useful project for those interested in moving beyond the exploitation, war and pollution contexts.

Insecticide, Texas Politics and plundering the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge
Friday 4:30 pm approx.-- Painting exterior of nice home in West Texas. Weather gray and overcast; wind moderate 15 from the north. Downwind was speed-painting trim to beat anticipated inclement conditions; suddenly I got a good breath of insecticide and an eyeful. Waited a few seconds to decide if I could continue painting, stopped and went inside house.
The 'Bugs are Us' guy in the bright yellow pickup truck with a bed full of equipment and pumps perhaps in pursuit of fire ants or termites had launched at aerial mist spray from the next yard upwind. An accident-all I heard was some disparaging language in the cell phone he was using walking about the yard.
It reminds me of the atrocious West Texas water supply, not to mention my days at army chemical school learning to identify hazardous military hyper-insecticides like GB and GA or VX. The water is amongst the worst tasting in America perhaps because of decades of Permian basin oil drilling and the polluting drilling fluids that have been pumped into the underground water reserves over the last century. Of course cotton crops from Amarillo to San Antonio haven't helped either. Each pair of jeans requires about 3/4's pound to produce some article mentioned maybe in pop mechs.
Chemicals have been a stumbling bloc for Texans, they produce and use a lot, believing it of immaculate conception and application that can do no harm to left wing eagles even with DDT. The founders of the nation may have been liberals, but Americans today think that means socialism and debauchery, and have forgotten what personal liberal ideas mean in the headlong rush to become conservative Tories and royalty or neo-Corporatists. Immigrants from authoritarian nations tend to be conservative too, and the liberal heritage has been eclipsed by a generation of the indolent and aggressively conservative.
Texan labor standards seem worse than that of many parts of the nation. At a Miracle Grow plant south of Abilene at graveyard shift when temporary and regular workers used compressed air to clean off the machinery, almost no one was wearing a protective filter mask or eye protection in the cloud of chemical dust that would grow the wrong cells in human beings. Texans have sought for a way to develop new sources of cheap labor after slavery and segregation dried up. Now to a certain extent it’s China, but like slavery the exploitation of others eventually results in the social demise of the perpetrators as the grapes of wrath are trod.
The pervasive use of chemicals and accompanying criminal dumping of toxic wastes may have been perpetrated in the state of Texas and offshore in the Gulf of Mexico for decades. The administration of course would like to follow the Soviet model of exploiting the high artic and accelerating global warming with rampant oil development on the Arctic Ocean littoral. They may soon use the higher oil profits they've managed that has put Exxon-Mobil back to numero uno in planetary businesses and mover Halliburton toward the black after taking over Brown and Root and it's litigious obligations as inspiration to assault the nation's final; large oil safety reserve in the Arctic National Wildlife Reserve and drain it to make America forever reliant on trans-national oil sources until some liberals break free from the Global neo-Corporate Tories with an electrified interstate power grid and individually metered cars with electric engines. Each homeowner could have a home fuel cell and sell electricity to the grid in excess of his auto power consumption.
A transnational oil supremacy transaxle of evil that would sink the aircraft carrier America in 6000 feet of water in the Atlantic has no qualms about plundering ANWR for cheap profits, running up trillions and trillions of national debt, compelling interest payments on the debt to Global Corporations for decades or centuries and generally attacking American financial independence.
The issue of Global Warming and the percent of atmospheric carbon dioxide may seem trivial to the privileged, yet the world's oceans have already absorbed a third of the carrying capacity of CO2. Sending diesel engines to tramp the north slope of Alaska won't help the nation to prosper, nor will the administration's inability to concentrate on liberating the nation from over reliance on foreign leadership and production serve to create a healthy and secure nation in the future.

China-Mart, 43, and the Anti-Secession Bill in Beijing
Walking into a Wal-Mart Super Center recently I was astounded to see a woman seated high on an elevated shoe-shine stule chair with naked feet being rubbed and washed by another, smaller woman kneeling on the floor. Wal-Mart, perhaps over influenced by the ancient Chinese tradition of servility, has imported and emulated elements of that practice in Texas. Texas with a tradition of segregation and servile roles for some elements of American society, would obviously be a good place to market such a groveling, foot-washing tradtion. Americans over-readily adapt to the new ethos of service workers waiting upon them, and give up their liberty and hertitage of egalitarian social justice and roles so easily that they allow millions and millions of illegal migrant or immigrant workers to arrive each year to serve and ultimately replace their freedom with their own.
Wal-Mart's Chinese production contributes a full 1% of the annual gross national product in China. Chinese law-makers planning to pass an anti-seccession law to intimidate the Taiwanese and to expand their extortionist influence on the free Taiwanese have relied upon the Bush administration's interest in oil profits and its lack of integrity to set up a second term challenge to parallel that of the first term of President G.W.B. when it attacked and captured a U.S. Orion spy plane flying in international airspace near China. The Communist Government knows that the Bush administration and it's neo-Corporatist Government is interested in plundering two trillion dollars from U.S. taxpayers to drive them into additional servitude with generations paying interst through taxes to Beijing after first providing a windfall to private collectives on Wal-Street as a vast front-loader fee.
An administration with environmental integrity and sound ethics would support the Taiwanese by advancing theit cause to have a seat in the U.N., and woiuld of course support them in event of war should the Communists attack when the Tiwanese declare formal independence of the collectivist mainland government.
Yet President Bush may be too far mired in the pit of oil interests and transnational collectives to have any awareness of thye tremendous damage that he is wreaking upon the present and future U.S. economy. It is well possible to have a government and economic policy that accentuates the individual instead of the vast collective corporate interests spanning across global boundaries instantanteously. It is possible to develop a U.S. produced non-fossil fuel transportation infrastructure, and to discourage a decadent slight into oriental despotism even though that may be part of the ante-bellum heritage of the south in that it's oppression of the southjer blacks was like the royal oppression of Chinese peasants.
The Rush Limbaughs of the world in the transnational corporate, collectivist sphere of influence may enjoy a prestige of emplacing themselves at the pinnicle of a collectivist hierarchy, yet the historical trend of oppressing masses is not what America was about, and it will more quickl;y accellerate the nation's slide into dependence and decadence, corruption and chaos, rave and ruin thatn any other single likely to occur political direction. Their is no substitute for secure borders and a do it yourself attitude with inventiveness and fundamental human decency with right reason leading the spirit of America to a coincident experience with the sacred and the politically neccessary.
The Republican administration shopuld stay out of ANWR, balance the federal budget, share international defense costs, cut highway spending in that vast collective pork-barrel to let alternative transport possibilities grow, etc.
