With more than a half a million homeless Haitians the need for a standardized quality steel-pipe geodesic home construction project is apparent. The fundamental frame can be made quite easily crushing pipe ends and through-bolting them according to some models, and the geodesic home frames can survive Hurricanes and Earthquakes with the virtue of being transparent, standard forms suitable for a coordinated international relief effort right away. Rust-proof painting of the steel pipe is useful.
It should be possible to ship a few loads of steel pipe to Haiti for local fabrication under supervision of dome construction specialists, local Haitian authorities and the U.N. Perhaps the Toyota corporation can spare a boatload of steel pipe, and perhaps China. The top steel pipe producers today may have some slack inventory with the global recession. The United States still has bolt manufacturers--this is an opportunity for upgrading the second and third world's inventory of modern American housing--Buckminster Fuller was a college professor in North Carolina.
The next disaster may be just a few months away in Port-Au-Prince when Hurricane season arrives. A quality geodesic dome may be assembled in just a day and later covered with plastic, fiberglass coated plywood with pipe fasteners, built up with epoxy layers or a variety of other solid sheeting from aluminum to composites. The dome frames may be set on tires and anchored into the ground, and a concrete floor might be poured later.

An international geodesic home construction project for Haiti could produce pipe sections of the right lengths locally from imported steel. Perhaps a regular job program manufacturing pre-fabricated domes could be an ongoing local industry. I think it would be the best quality at the lowest cost for ordinary homeless Haitians new home program that might be started.
Air ventilators may be built into the homes for cooling along with solar powered electric fans in ventilators. Steel pipe domes may be coated with ceramics, camouflaged, given sky blue painting over the epoxy coated plywood or other, surface planking. They may be used as greenhouses and hospitals, libraries and schools. They may also be joined together in more complex structures.

U.S. Government's Inadequate Design Templates for New Foreign Governments of Iraq and Afghanistan
I wanted to write on the topic of the U.S. Federal policy of destroying foreign governments in two instances in order to build new governments, and how that policy may have select illogical elements within it. I will not provide arguments for or against the validity or legal right to destroy the former governments of Iraq and Afghanistan--I tend to feel the actions were proximally justifiable, instead I wish to concentrate upon the inadequate paradigms or templates for post destruction reconstruction of new governments that were notoriously costly in dollars and casualties multi-nationally.
My feeling is that the global corporate ownership class behind the phenomenal of corporatism expropriating the democratic pragmatism and functional health of the economy of the United States exists analogously on the upper floors of political-economic skyscrapers crossing from one building term to another over sky-bridges, thus never touching the ground floors of mass political interest. The media supported wealthy elites are the goal class that many politicians seek to join, and to pass on that class to their heirs. Unfortunately with the inter-owning class of concentrated wealth investing in all global corporations it is a self-perpetuating and ecologically detached class. That being said, I will return to the issue of the badly constructed Iraq and Afghan reconstruction plans.
The Bushes and oil interests may have sought to gain oil contracts in Iraq--and they now have. Yet the pan-Arabic imperial goals of Saddam Hussein were a long range problem for the entire middle east though Hussein was appositely named to bring Shi’a and Sunni together from Iran to Saudi Arabia, the antipathy of Iran and other people of the region was a flaming hate understandably. When the Bushes opted to depose the Ba’thist regime of Iraq they were following the only politically practical and acceptable course (ending sanctions and letting the chips fall where they may being the other). What the Bushes conveniently failed at was in saying that instead of a $40 billion dollar reconstruction cost for Iraq the bill would be about 2 trillion dollars. For Afghanistan the bill is still growing.
The differences between Iraq and Afghanistan in terms of history and civilization are vast. Iraq has had a civilization along the rivers in from the deserts for more than 5000 years while Afghanistan is an ancient land of travelers and rural tribesmen. It was the ancient homeland of the Aryans (Iran) and a place that has been difficult for many in the high plains and mountains to find prosperity in. Perhaps the prosperity of Afghanistan is simply in being there to discover the sky and the beauty of a land austere and inspirational of thoughts of God.
The Bush II administration may have felt that war reconstruction costs would not matter because military contracting expenses would benefit all the right military industrial Bush friends in the corporate world. If the people of Iraq had been given ownership in private stock shares themselves of Iraq oil fields right after the war instead of never, peace would have been supported with far more vigor by the people of Iraq both Sunni and Shi’a, Kurd and Christian. The conflict of interest on oil field contract for the Bush administration is obvious--they could not support a democratic reconstruction for Iraq except nominally at the higher political levels, while the people would be groveled about as usual finding larger-ups associated with the payouts from the U.S.A.
In Afghanistan the reasons for war were to remove a Taliban that had sheltered AL Qa’eda, and of course to remove or capture Al Qa’eda in order to prevent future attack organization upon the United States. Obviously no military venture abroad was necessary to defend the avenues of ingress the 9-11 box cutting hi-jack and crash team had used--the only thing required for that was better airport screening, security in aircraft cockpit access and effective intelligence agency work in government regarding how to actually, physically defend the United States.
The United States of course choose to attack Afghanistan when the Taliban Government would not give up the Al Qa’eda members they allowed to live and organize in Iraq. A BBC report on the Taliban in Afghanistan said that the more than 100 year old loosely organized political tradition has a history of providing refuge to political exiles or political fugitives such as the United States has for Cuban ex-patriots or perhaps Soviet or Iranian dissidents. The United States chose to war upon Afghanistan to remove the Taliban without a good idea of how to reconstruct a government or what the cost would be.
Such is the current exploration of method in Afghanistan that is scheduled to send another 30,000 soldiers at the cost of 30 billion dollars. The Marja offensive to displace the Taliban from a stronghold near the Pakistan border is a showpiece to support the U.S. administration decision to accelerate troop deployments and investments in the Afghan war effort. It is expected to show positive results in time for the 2012 re-election season. Democrats are thought to be ready to re-elect the President if the war in Afghanistan is going well--meaning the pacification of the nation with few suicide bombers or I.E.D.’s going off killing American soldiers. In some way a reduction in U.S. bombing of Afghan civilians used as shields for traveling Taliban would also be considered a positive development.

The decision to impose a central government upon Afghanistan seems destined to fail…the timing is the question--how long will it take?
Afghanistan is a large, poor rural nation, a sort of Wyoming without the oil fit best for wild tribesmen and women surviving modestly in ancient dwellings. These are not people that normally would support a large central government or large standing army with modern weapons. It will be interesting if Afghan pilots are trained in the United States to fly a five jet squadron of F-16’s. I think really they should just for old time’s sake; The Hmong of the Vietnam war era produced some great U.S. trained pilots that won medals for valorous flying. If there are few valid targets in Afghanistan or Air Force to oppose so what--they would make any down hillers think twice about sending anything up their way agin them.
Afghanistan would normally have a more rural nation with a modest government. They have the problem of corruption from drug producers and traffickers and of course payments from political and terrorist fugitives from abroad they choose to shelter for both Muslim brotherhood and financial reasons. We might have properly bribed the Taliban to give up Al Qaeda and shelter U.S. special forces to hunt Al Qaeda and saved the U.S. taxpayers a lot of billions of dollars even if the special forces needed to be trained Muslims to be acceptable to the Taliban. Since we went to war to depose a tradition, it is necessary to think about the chances for long range stability in the area.
Not living on the upper floors of the skyscrapers of the wealthy, rather drifting in the dank alleys and swamps of society, my regard for the choices the elite political class chose to invest in for Afghanistan is not high. I would prefer an American prosperity and federal spending on ecological economic full employment with zero growth goals for non-renewable material through-put as a way to achieve national prosperity. I think the concept of creating a sustainable ,western-friendly Afghan central government is not going to be successful in practice; once the money supply/fuel is cut off the central government/standing army/police machine will grind to a halt and the members disperse to the traditional and economically rational way of rural life with a modest government. I doubt that Afghans will like the idea of paying taxes to support a central government any more than Alaskans (who have no state income tax) or Republicans in the U.S. Congress support tax increases on the wealthy, on corporations, or inheritance taxes.
If the U.S.A. continues to fund the Afghan Government after out troops are withdrawn, the rural Afghans will consider them foreign lackeys and attack them as evil minions of Satan foisting perversity and photos of naked breasts upon the faithful, along of course with the plying of liquor. It is only while the free money flows and fuels the cooperation of those seeking employment that our Afghan allies are loyal. They are not supporters of the Democratic policies of the administration or Congress for ideological reasons I would think.
Governments form for sociological reasons anchored in history and geography. Iraq logically has civilization while Afghanistan reasonably has a discrete, variegated and disperse constellation of villages with some larger town and cities. Within that political economy various political alliances and formations evolve in dynamic balance to conserve various economic and social interests as well as for security.
The United States Government has no reason for a lugubrious outlook on the prospects for structuring a stable and discrete, decentralized Afghan government that could function reasonably well in the absence of U.S. expenses, it is possible. Following the prior Afghan war of defense against the Soviet Union the United States failed to provide any sort of support that would enable the United States to offset the influence of Al Qaeda. Further U.S. overly-large ambitions of a bi-polar sort in Afghanistan such that it must become a kind of High Asian versions of a Beltway Republic seems to be in progress. It is even reported that the Obama administrations plans for a withdrawal in ah hurry after ‘Vietnamizing’ the ‘war’. For a war of understanding it seems to be, allow I have a too remote perspective on the event from the alleys outside the cities with the skyscrapers on the hills of Boston and in the lofty pyramids of power on dollar bills of D.C. passing through congressional control.
A more intelligent and discrete policy designed to recognize Afghan sovereignty and need for its own internal readjustments following the departure of both American military forces and spending would have been a better approach-and it still would, to achieving an Afghanistan that neither requires vast U.S. spending or is a concern about a training area for Para-military terrorist organizations with N.A.T.O. countries as their target locations. That is still a better, more pragmatic political goal than the present undisclosed policy of the Obama administration.
Perhaps we need to fortify a few towns were our friends in Afghanistan live, or plant some crops outside towns like Marja. Maybe a better selection of investments that can exist in a periods of radical realignment following U.S. and N.A.T.O. departure is required. What is very probable is that once the monetary fuel supply for the central government ends it will fade away as quickly as would that of the U.S. Government in Washington D.C. Americans cannot afford to pay for the existence of foreign governments in order to illogically provide security at U.S. airports. At the least a real; Mexican ecological border control barrier zone should be constructed in the United States before Olympic also-ran terrorist conditioned athletes run in high explosives and terrorist supplies at night along g.p.s. courses with night vision goggles to cache in the wastelands of New Mexico and southern Texas.
addition One...
--even hate changes (fades) fast in time such that it waits for no one. I believe Afghanistan will continue to change with the 21st century techno-invasion of communications and data-bases at low cost. How that will affect rural people in central Asia I cannot say.
A religious reason for antipathy towards prosperity is fine and good in some cases and not so in others. India is Hinduia for some, and a billion soul techno-basket of change to others. Conflict is costly and leads in many contexts simply to suffering. I think that the pursuit of prosperity and virtue simultaneously will perhaps be a new direction such as the religious toleration that prevailed in Europe somewhat after the end of the 100 years of religious wars.
Afghanistan absent of the vast expenses of the United States will seek a more normal social level as would the waters behind a dam after a flood. Yet everything from nano-technology to organic solar voltaics will still be increasing in the world. The effort to improve the existence of ordinary people will require a Democratic readjustment of social control of investments from elites and hierarchical powers to the people. Instead of ideologies of conflict led by leaders, more practical, discrete and disperse ecological economic localists synergistically conserving and simultaneously investing in the future will need to be reinforced.
People will try to turn away from mass movements of war and terror if they can, yet that won’t be simple. If those that forget the past are doomed to repeat it, those that cannot forgive or forget the past are doomed to remain in it. Right responses to human evil and conflict is to move away from it and to try to accentuate the positive--it is a challenging yet necessary task. Afghans will want to attempt to modernize and find rapprochement with India and other nations while yet keeping their faith, if they cannot become Christian. Tolerance and respect for individualism should allow people with different background to work together for mutual advantage--if that means dampening the excesses of social, marketplace practices offensive to others then such accommodations need to be made.
My feeling is that the global corporate ownership class behind the phenomenal of corporatism expropriating the democratic pragmatism and functional health of the economy of the United States exists analogously on the upper floors of political-economic skyscrapers crossing from one building term to another over sky-bridges, thus never touching the ground floors of mass political interest.

On Quantum Uncertainty and Backward Causality
I thought I should write something about the quantum multiverse and backward causality since it is all the rage amongst those entering data into philosophy encyclopedias these days. What about quantum mechanics and the Heisenberg uncertainty principle--how does the determination of either the location or speed of particles affect the temporal order--for which there is little passage of time at any rate?
Time seems to be more of a feature of mass and slower moving particles than of energy. Light quanta with little or no mas are said to have little or no experience of time passing objectively either.At the smallest, most basic level things exist fundamentally without much time--just orders of protocol and events occur that form everything else in the universe we consider meaningful--items of the stelliferous era such as stars and galaxies, planets and moons.
When human beings try to get beyond the apparent level of mass to the underlying strata of energetic particle-quanta we selectively determine one of two primary states of the quanta as we bring its knowledge deterministically into our own realm of experience. If that causal sequence has a time value sequence from past-present to future it is seemingly violated by the effects of apparent quantum entanglement and exchanges of information seemingly required between physically distant particles.
The phenomena of backward causality may be something to consider in the phenomenalities of quantum uncertainty and all possible world-lines at positions of particles regarding the quantum world.We may give quantum particles nominal values of all possible worldlines yet they may be entirely deterministic so far as we really know.
The change of position or speed from the freedom of extra-dimensional realms unknown to human observers, creates an appearance in the slower mass protocol realms of the apparent universe when quantum positions and speeds are sampled of super-luminal information exchange. The realm of mass energy is slower and has farther dimensional transition requisites perhaps than the pre-selection environment in which quanta are grounded.
Well, that was all that I have to write in this note about backward causality.
..well nearly
What if the entire universe were actually cyclical--what does that mean to the idea of backward causality? If the Universe were cyclical and deterministic it would need to have zero-leakage of information, mass or energy in order to continue a perfectly determined cycle. The idea of a multi-verse generating infinite more and variegated kinds of universes seems inconsistent with determinism and quantum uncertainty a little.
What about a pre-big bang universe of virtual particles emanating from some unknown location (and don't say its just because of effects of quantum uncertainty for that seems like a circular explanation)--if they are simply extrusions or 'silk screened' loops/branes, strings from an infinite one, and the Universe is a reduced a tightly pressurized apparent creation then the time orders are contingent upon the intension of the Creator. While a determined Universe and a free universe could exist simultaneously within such an environment, the reason for that is simple enough-it is determined for humans so long as the Creator wills it to be so, and h=He can yet change it any time (it is a subjectively funny juxtaposition) He likes. Time is a temporal feature of the island-universe amidst the Unknown containment phenomenality of The One.
I think I prefer the idea of backward causality as an extra-dimensional device for explaining quantum uncertainty within an environmental boundary condition of a Universe with more than four dimensions that are just unknown to most of us presently.

'The Universe Before The Big Bang' and Other Topics
In the Universe before the big bang there is an imponderable vacuum in which Universes might have their start. A singularity before a big bang is just a very small bottleneck like that of an hourglass in which a collapsing black hole on the left has passed into a white hole of expansion on the right that we regard as our Universe. Gasperini explains that process and the particles that theoretically start existing.
He does at the end state his belief that God created the 'perturbative vacuum' in which Universes are created initially from virtual particles appearing through quantum uncertainty. That of course pleased me a little, for I share a Christian idea of God issuing the Universe in some primordial way. The neo-Platonist philosopher Plotinus wrote about the emanation of the Universe from The One in his book of 54 tractates named The Enneads(a translation is free on-line).
The primordial perturbative vacuum allows in theory an infinite number of universe to be issued through the appearance of virtual particles (free from some unlimited supply)that are drawn together in some kind of a gravity-like phenomenon of attraction sufficiently to form a collapse.
I think the black hole criterion is just an analogy for us in this universe. We might as well regard the formation of mass for a new universe as like unto a calving iceberg of concentrated mass. At that point I am not summarizing Gasperini.
Plotinus believed that The One was perfect and had need for extension of what we would consider dimensions and forms or mass for those dimensions. We know that temporality and the expansion of a universe is like a scalar field with anisotropic mass distributions presently thought to be a consequence of the initial distribution of mass at the singularity before expansion.
String, looks, branes and quarks are the fundamental level components that in some way are associated with virtual particles and a vacuum space without extension itself. Why should a vacuum have expansion, why shouldn't all mass be infinitely concentrated into one location at every location possible before the big bang.
We tend to thing of a vacuum space as having size rather than none at all--where does spacing--interval in time and space appear before the big bang for virtual particles? These are fascinating points to consider, and there are innumerable more.
Dimensions in theory may be of virtually any number as in math. The book 'Why Beauty is Truth', also from 2008, is upon the mathematical concept of symmetry that went into algebra's development the last 5000 years from Samaria to Omar Khayyam, Lie, Killing and others. It has a good history of the origin of solutions to quadratic equations and work on the quintic. It is also a useful book to understand more about mathematical constructions of multi-dimensional arrays rather like one constructs Cartesian coordinate graphs with increasing dimensions to negative numbers and so forth. Philosophically M-Theory is mentioned usefully so one might contemplate Gasperini's book with a little more understanding of the mathematical approach to cosmology.
The idea of quantum uncertainty is interesting to me in the pre-big bang universe as it relates to virtual particles emanating from The One. Fundamentally there might be a transcendent force, power or scale that gives the contingent vacuum its values and boundary conditions. Such a meta-field may download dimensional content into it as extrusions of virtual zero-dimensional membranes, strings, loops or quarks...who can say? The number of dimensions in a non-dimensional pre big universe before the appearance of any virtual particles would be zero-and consistent with space-time values before an Intelligent contribution of content I think.
The One as a perfect being may have just cancelled out some areas of his existence or omniscience from some locations such that it is very basic-like Leibnitzian monads of one-dimensional membranes, that exist. Very simple fundamental waves or branes issued from the one yet just capable of containing a limited amount of information until constructions through evolution of a universe and human beings occurs who are limited in knowledge potential too. I think of the process a little like silk-screening painting.
The question of what The One is like (bigger than a breadbox kind of questions) also apply to the pre-big-bang universe. String theory and subsequent investigations might develop technically continguous mappings of hypothetical historical constructions yet their are so many alternative, possible constructions simultaneously cohering within any theory logically that it would be challenging to regard any as definitive especially in light of Godel's incompleteness theorem.
Perennial philosophical questions regarding the nature of the One have new vistas to consider within a pre-big bang universe origin context. Determinism and indeterminism in a cyclical or recurrent universe would raise questions on backward causality at the minimum. What extension must a vacuum space have to originate virtual wavelets emanations, how many dimensions need to exist in a vacuum for wavelets/strings to enter and form virtual dimensional constructions? An infinite number of good questions arise regarding contingent being and contingent universes in addition to the non-contingent One who issues the information comprising form.
He does at the end state his belief that God created the 'perturbative vacuum' in which Universes are created initially from virtual particles appearing through quantum uncertainty. That of course pleased me a little, for I share a Christian idea of God issuing the Universe in some primordial way. The neo-Platonist philosopher Plotinus wrote about the emanation of the Universe from The One in his book of 54 tractates named The Enneads(a translation is free on-line).
The primordial perturbative vacuum allows in theory an infinite number of universe to be issued through the appearance of virtual particles (free from some unlimited supply)that are drawn together in some kind of a gravity-like phenomenon of attraction sufficiently to form a collapse.
I think the black hole criterion is just an analogy for us in this universe. We might as well regard the formation of mass for a new universe as like unto a calving iceberg of concentrated mass. At that point I am not summarizing Gasperini.
Plotinus believed that The One was perfect and had need for extension of what we would consider dimensions and forms or mass for those dimensions. We know that temporality and the expansion of a universe is like a scalar field with anisotropic mass distributions presently thought to be a consequence of the initial distribution of mass at the singularity before expansion.
String, looks, branes and quarks are the fundamental level components that in some way are associated with virtual particles and a vacuum space without extension itself. Why should a vacuum have expansion, why shouldn't all mass be infinitely concentrated into one location at every location possible before the big bang.
We tend to thing of a vacuum space as having size rather than none at all--where does spacing--interval in time and space appear before the big bang for virtual particles? These are fascinating points to consider, and there are innumerable more.
Dimensions in theory may be of virtually any number as in math. The book 'Why Beauty is Truth', also from 2008, is upon the mathematical concept of symmetry that went into algebra's development the last 5000 years from Samaria to Omar Khayyam, Lie, Killing and others. It has a good history of the origin of solutions to quadratic equations and work on the quintic. It is also a useful book to understand more about mathematical constructions of multi-dimensional arrays rather like one constructs Cartesian coordinate graphs with increasing dimensions to negative numbers and so forth. Philosophically M-Theory is mentioned usefully so one might contemplate Gasperini's book with a little more understanding of the mathematical approach to cosmology.

Sex Addiction and U.S. National Health Care Reform-Tabloids for Congressional Record?
Tiger Woods has a press lecture to give tomorrow that is getting more attention than the moribund national health care reform effort in Congress. Senator Evan Bayh chose to quit the Democrat majority in the Senate following the failure to bring national health care reform to the poor and homeless. If the Senate had a bi-partisan cooperative effort to bring a national medical provisioning to the poor and homeless first the emergency room costs alone would have plummeted dropping health care costs. Yet the Congress is upper class and concerned about making money for global corporate elites and dumping debt on the public. President Obama needs a new speech writer to put more intelligent and innovative words in his mouth, so I will donate a few words on a friendly basis to help keep down the public cost of hiring more expensive writers.
Those of us that wonder if sex addiction is real are perhaps wishfully thinking about what it would be like to have the opportunity to test the theory. The morally impeccable amongst us ask how the Tiger could fall victim to the challenging temptations we would have avoided since we aren't Buddhists. Left handed Tantric Buddhism practices change the woman each day to avoid the problem of addiction--if he had been truer to Tibetan Buddhism he might not have fallen victim to addiction.
First--Tiger Woods returns from alien abduction tomorrow-or a cult that reprograms those addicted to sex--make no mistake about it, sex addiction ranks right up there with pinot noir fakes from France as national problems. Hair shirts, penance huts, vows of chastity-these reverse the addiction to sex encouraged in monogamy--the State of Massachusetts and a few others have imposed an end of heterosexual marriage as dangerous supports of sex addiction through debasement of the pure addiction. That was a methadone approach to the pure poppies of heterosexual addiction.
http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg20527483.200-drake-wants-offworld-listening-post-for-alien-messages.html?DCMP=OTC-rss&nsref=online-news
Plainly, an unreformed sex addict may lapse into doing it again; cruising late nights in a convertible B.M.W. looking for a line of babes to do. The twelve step program for freedom from alien probes and nefarious political speeches has taught a lot of educators about cost cutting methods to appoint committees to study health care issues.
It was determined that sex addiction training is actually cheaper in select foreign countries than in the United States. Federal regulations stand in the way of importing sex addiction compassionate conservative surrogate deprogrammers. Boston is working on a solution.
If a moon base were constructed with a Constellation-Orion Sure-Win landing, it would be possible to create an extra-terrestrial listening post for the cure of upper class sex addictions and Wall Street gambler's syndrome. When addictions become too big to fail the entire nation is chow-lenged to bail them out.
I hope that Tiger Wood's reappearance to deliver a lecture tomorrow for a crowd of compliant broadcasters rightly forbidden to ask questions has before and after pie charts and such demonstrating conclusively that sex addiction in South Florida is over. The Coast Guard and Homeland Security are doing better at intercepting the conditional precursors of the offshore-sourced disease.
Woods is probably better at playing golf than putting on dog and pony shows for the entertainment industry. Serious opinion-ed writers know that Tiger's best bet is to print up his own tabloid to pass out with the Inside Story.

On the Oily Energy Politics in Alaska & Obama Administration
Exons are regulators of protein synthesis in the human genome--Alaska's political genome is regulated by Exxon, British Petroleum and other oil-gas corporations. Such chemical powers provide legislative sequencing in the genome out of phase with natural regulatory control mechanisms proven to sustain biological life. Development of heavy metals and oil fossil fuels and gas for short-term profits is a corporate funding phenomena known to adversely influence political reason.

The city of Juneau as a state capital is building a parking garage in order to help make downtown a ghost town after 5 p.m. Jobs could have been created for others than state government workers if the telephone hill location were instead a multi-story building of shop space, condos and the state museum on the upper floors. It would have provided more than 30 full time jobs.
A monorail to the location for the near state museum by the A & P from Telephone Hill would have shuttled visitors from the Juneau Transit Center and parking garage that should have been built there to keep cars a little farther away and to make it easier for shoppers to access the A & P, Salvation Army and bowling alley. The city politicians wanted to develop a ghost town and a place for the homeless to tent in event of serious weather emergency such as global warming perhaps--getting more bang for the buck just wasn’t there luck. Empty parking garages after 5 p.m. make good places for harmonica blues improvisations anyway--and music is vital to the pursuit of happiness after all.
A nation-wide super-conducting liquid hydrogen filled pipeline would be a good way to store electricity--that could occur in the Alaskan rail-belt as well and it should. Wind, solar and fuel cell power producers could feed into it. Superconductors have no electrical resistance and can thus store energy indefinitely.
The state legislature should fund a dozen million dollar each wind generators along upper Egan Drive between the Department of Labor and Coast Guard compound to prove they aren’t covert insurgents against renewable energy for Alaska--get that done this year.
Development of a non-renewable economy is implicitly mal-adjusted for the present global demographic and geographic facts of life. In 20 or 30 years when the next globalist economic bubble collapses it may be impossible to borrow trillions to ‘bail out’ and ‘stimulate’ the corrupt. President Obama’s plans to rely on coal and nuclear power just accelerate the stale kind of economic policy the Republican Party has advocated in there reliance upon global corporate domination of the Alaska Political Genome. Intelligence is really an important asset in politicians when it rarely arises a priori--generally they are just reactionaries--and that won’t work in the next thirty years well at all.

Chernobylity in the Obama Renewal of Nuclear Plant Construction?
President Obama has thrown in the towel upon abstemiousness on nuclear energy--having lived in the state of Washington during the Washington Public Power era of rapid expansion of nuclear plants that were eventually mothballed costing the taxpayers billions and billions, I am somewhat skeptical of the worthiness of raising the dead succubus of atomic fission to create elite anti-environmental industrial Chernobylity.
Oregon of course decommissioned its Trojan nuclear plant on the Columbia River, and the federal government has a long range, 50 billion dollar nuclear clean-up job at the Hanford Nuclear reservation also along the problem child Columbia River with pollutants from farm pesticides, dams that retard salmon runs and billions invested to keep that endangered Chinook population alive affecting even the Alaska fishery and global warming besides the danger of federal radioactive, materials contamination.
China of course has lots of nuclear plants and wants to build more--Iran wants more nuclear plants, and President Obama believes that one group of uncreative, dangerous political leaders are as good as another--thus the United STates too must build nuclear plants in the powert and energy growth race to keep up with our 'rivals'
President Obama said; "On an issue that affects our economy, our security, and the future of our planet, we can't continue to be mired in the same old stale debates between left and right, between environmentalists and entrepreneurs".
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6HPddRn-Sn8 First Aerial Video of Chernobyl Disaster
The President supports the wrong kind of economic growth for a planet with finite resources and no moon base transportation program; it should be ecological economics with a full employment prosperity based on zero quantitaive growth--its all quality growth and intelligent economic thought rather than dirty sprawl and mass consumption increase. Coal and nuclear power are not inevitable nor desirable foundations for a modern economy for the United States.
The U.S.A. must lead or follow in energy production methodology. Conservation through improved design,superconducting hydrogen power grids and reductions in system throughput ineffriciency in commuter transportation energy and modality are feasable--what is lacking is intellilgence in Washington D.C. traditionally about how to change.
There are still less than 500 nuclear power plants on Earth.
http://www.euronuclear.org/info/encyclopedia/n/nuclear-power-plant-world-wide.htm
With political intention it might be possible to create global no-growth economics, eliminate fossil fuel use in vehicles and structure super-conducting electrical storage and transmission lines within liquid hydrogen filled pipelines and that would create a lot of green jobs.
An exon is a kind of regulator of the human genome in a good way while an intron has a kind of opposite effect; in energy and politics the oil corporations have an evil effect upon the political genome in Washington D.C., and the reasoning of inefficient growth that requires new nuclear plants is just not ecologically rational. The Obama administration also does not plan to have a functioning nuclear waste permanent storage facility during its administration.
Nuclear plants will be devastating accelerators of casualties during any future war bombing mission that reaches the United States. If a biological disaster occurs the unattended nuclear plants globally will all melt down guaranteeing the assured radiological destruction of much life on Earth for quite some time. The President is seemingly becoming habitualized to taking the wrong direction--at least one Democratic Senator choose to abandon ship before it goes over the political falls further to crash into the muddy Boston Harbor from the clouds.
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/35421517/ns/business-oil_and_energy Article on Obama nuclear speech
President Obama's plan to build more nuclear plants exemplifies the stale macro-economic thought of non-ecologically sustainable economic policy. To summarize that; create more energy, more nuclear waste and more radiological danger in order to stimulate more consumption of finite resources.
Not recognized by government is the need to create a national, sustainable energy conservation infrastructure of super-conductors immersed in a cold-bath pipeline of liquid hydrogen produced from ordinary water. Live power production that does not storage electricity is far more inefficient. Input of energy to a storage grid for use as demand arises will let a variety of wind, solar, fuel cell and other energy production technologies to be fed into the grid underlying the nations highways.
Such a super-conducting grid would allow direct ultra-lightweight, smart all-weather go-carts to draw metered electricity for urban commutes in specialized lanes. Consumers should become conservers and producers at a family home level rather than urban dependents on global corporations for power and employment. Storing energy is as important as producing energy.
With rational energy storage and substantial incentives for increases of energy efficiency in building structures and transportation, the nation would be on the way toward rational leadership than unreasoning resource self-destruction, for the nation's security is at stake in multifarious modes through concentrated power and the proliferation of atomic fission plants in the U.S.A.
In the next wave of bubble-growth corrupt-growth economics, it may be very difficult to borrow money to 'stimulate' our way out. With a global grid of skiiming financial 'producers' leveraging 'consumers' to over-extend and spend on too large, energy inefficient homes and have no savings, any global financial break or failure sends the living-on-the-edge consumer economy into collapse of the local and regional bubbles. The second such future bubble collapse in perhaps 15 to 30 years will probably bring about a planet-full of regional wars in the chaos of a collapsed global economy based on growth that cannot be reassembled.

Toynbee Cycle; Stuck Accelerator of Political Decay
The foundation of the United States politically was generally formed as an agrarian society--rural people, overthrowing a foreign, urban elite. Rule by distant aristocrats over distant colonies with which they share no essential economic equivalent interests is a perennial historical theme as is the Toynbean cyclical acceleration of social leadership cults of decadence. Where aristocracies have emerged from democratic societies to usurp and even attack former rural majorities the gravitational center of political independence shifts from the popular support of the people to a more precarious and volatile urban metro-sexual succubus of sensuality and fiduciary power for it-self. In such concentrations of wealth and power elite networks arise to dominate global economic and trade facts.
A Chicago school of ethics ( I don't mean those of Capone) that formed contemporaneously with Dewey and subjectivism in linguistic philosophy elaborated a paradigm that objective, a priori ethic structures are not valid--instead a subjectivist conduct of making values vague and detached from empirical validity was provided.
While in some respects encouraging righteous reduction of rash judgments about foreign and unfamiliar moral practices it has also made reform of corrupt bureaucracy more difficult and disregards a natural law founded respect for all persons inalienably dues as their right as creations of God.
In the New England and Chicago post-moral elites prosecuting expensive military conflicts abroad, one must wonder, since there are few valid financial goals involved in Afghanistan at least, if the elite's believe its there inherent duty to provide moral instruction in a Deweyian sort of moral mish-mash through coercive conditioning of rural poor with bombs and Marine's with bags of candy.
When the people become dominated with Orwellian egotism materialized through cults of bosses driving herds of followers in urban, organizationally dependent lifestyles the ideal decay of social liberty and political independence follows; freedom and liberalization transition into definitions of non-intellectual, atheist maggotyness wherein consumption and mindless, non-reproductive sensuality for-themselves actualize as the embodiment of liberty. The public accounts deficits and freedom from coercive and pervasive state and corporate power are fine print at the bottom of the social contract held commonly to be as disposable as virtual Internet agreement best read by virtual lawyers at Boston or in Washington cutting deals with global billionaires.
Classical political failures of nations arise for the traditional reason that atheistic corruption decoheres family stability and the freedom of individuals to form families, personal associations and financial independence.. From the decline and fall of the Roman empire to the Weimar Republic the alienation of popular control of politics that formed the stability of the state through usurpations of power by minority elites--even the Bolsheviki--have brought nations to ruin. The Toynbee cyclical accelerator of the decay of civilization can strike the United States too--and from some points of view it has.
In the pursuit of global wealth large corporations have networked such that both major U.S. political parties are co-opted by corporatism. While Sarah Palin seems situated to bring female interest into the oily and elitist Republican Party she is also co-opted by oil politics as well as the anti-environmental recovery crowd. Democrats are another tool of corporate decay of national interests.
The Harvard cult of lawyers bringing first generation Americans to power in return for allegiance to global interests prosecutes a war upon rural Muslims in the high country of central Asia. The Taliban provided the usual shelter to Muslim radicals that attacked the United States and would not give them up so the United States attacked in 2002 and is still spending hundreds of billions of dollars in a temporal effort to force a central government upon the rural, independent Muslims of the area. The Taliban according to BBC reports is older than the Ford motor company and will probably outlast present federal efforts to sanitize the region of their presence. Instead of acting as the fountain of liberty the United States today has elite leadership acting in the role of a foreign imperial government of urban elites seeking to politically dehumanize rural peoples. The present U.S. leadership acts thus more like King George the Third than Thomas Paine, Thomas Jefferson, or later figures such as Davy Crockett and Daniel Boone.
The effort to control rural, ignorant ‘rag-heads’ of central Asia such that they all pay taxes to a globalist friendly puppet government with citizens that will not use pejoratives to describe homosexuals with hate speech seems somewhat far a field from either the interests of poor rural Americans or of the brainwashed and for-sale allegiance of urban corporate employees. The cost to subjugate central Asia will come out of the pockets of rural Americans and urban minions alike--and probably is an interminable requirement because the Afghanis and Pakistanis are poor compared to the former prosperity of the people of the United States--decadence and the decadent lifestyle and values requires prosperity to achieve and central Asians generally can’t afford that.
The below the surface or behind the wall political undercurrents. visible with high tech infra-red intellectual probity in the affair are many; with decades of bad Iranian policy from Washington starting with Mossadec and British machinations through the shah and the aftermath the rotten current state of affairs is the result. The elites of Harvard perhaps seeks global population reduction and environmental rectification reasonably enough, yet feel that they must simultaneously concentrate wealth and power in the alumni to achieve that--and all evil methods are fine and good because the end of saving the world justifies the methods. Perhaps a Harvard axis of evil is only an appearance rather than a fact--yet global corporatism is too much shaping up like global Maoism or totalitarian Chinese communism for the liking of some rural peoples who modestly believe that other than manic urban political means of achieving a fair and politically equally apportioned global order could be grown.
What is required is good faith. Good faith counts for a lot; respect for religion, respect for the rights of others to have a good quality of life, respect for the fact that not all social environments have the ability nor reason to live the same way ass another that is traveling at a different social speed. The effort to concentrate wealth, power and politics leads to decay over time as imperial dynasties decay for a variety of reasons and in a number of ways. Building more nuclear power plants, cutting the moon base and populism of manned space exploration--these are elite, global corporate goals without rational cognizance of the implicit dangers of continuing to grow an urban based economic structure. Such structures divide polities into an inside and outsider basis--and everyone knows who is inside the beltway today.

The Harvard cult of lawyers bringing first generation Americans to power in return for allegiance to global interests prosecutes a war upon rural Muslims in the high country of central Asia. The Taliban provided the usual shelter to Muslim radicals that attacked the United States and would not give them up so the United States attacked in 2002 and is still spending hundreds of billions of dollars in a temporal effort to force a central government upon the rural, independent Muslims of the area. The Taliban according to BBC reports is older than the Ford motor company and will probably outlast present federal efforts to sanitize the region of their presence. Instead of acting as the fountain of liberty the United States today has elite leadership acting in the role of a foreign imperial government of urban elites seeking to politically dehumanize rural peoples. The present U.S. leadership acts thus more like King George the Third than Thomas Paine, Thomas Jefferson, or later figures such as Davy Crockett and Daniel Boone.
The effort to control rural, ignorant ‘rag-heads’ of central Asia such that they all pay taxes to a globalist friendly puppet government with citizens that will not use pejoratives to describe homosexuals with hate speech seems somewhat far a field from either the interests of poor rural Americans or of the brainwashed and for-sale allegiance of urban corporate employees. The cost to subjugate central Asia will come out of the pockets of rural Americans and urban minions alike--and probably is an interminable requirement because the Afghanis and Pakistanis are poor compared to the former prosperity of the people of the United States--decadence and the decadent lifestyle and values requires prosperity to achieve and central Asians generally can’t afford that.
The below the surface or behind the wall political undercurrents. visible with high tech infra-red intellectual probity in the affair are many; with decades of bad Iranian policy from Washington starting with Mossadec and British machinations through the shah and the aftermath the rotten current state of affairs is the result. The elites of Harvard perhaps seeks global population reduction and environmental rectification reasonably enough, yet feel that they must simultaneously concentrate wealth and power in the alumni to achieve that--and all evil methods are fine and good because the end of saving the world justifies the methods. Perhaps a Harvard axis of evil is only an appearance rather than a fact--yet global corporatism is too much shaping up like global Maoism or totalitarian Chinese communism for the liking of some rural peoples who modestly believe that other than manic urban political means of achieving a fair and politically equally apportioned global order could be grown.
What is required is good faith. Good faith counts for a lot; respect for religion, respect for the rights of others to have a good quality of life, respect for the fact that not all social environments have the ability nor reason to live the same way ass another that is traveling at a different social speed. The effort to concentrate wealth, power and politics leads to decay over time as imperial dynasties decay for a variety of reasons and in a number of ways. Building more nuclear power plants, cutting the moon base and populism of manned space exploration--these are elite, global corporate goals without rational cognizance of the implicit dangers of continuing to grow an urban based economic structure. Such structures divide polities into an inside and outsider basis--and everyone knows who is inside the beltway today.

How Does One Build Electro-Magnetic Solar-Voltaic Fields?
Magnetic fields exist for the Earth and many other solar system bodies--so why not use electro-magnetic fields to capture photons in order to produce energy for powering microwave ovens or to boost off-whirld electro-magnetic accelerated space journey units? I believe the conundrum is in the pudding, or the lack of it, and whip cream sufficient to make photon field collectors out of planetary-sized magnetic fields. I wish these scientists would get with it! What sort of solar voltaic field paradigm could be created?
Seriously though, after reading today the first article below on another research development for making electricity from solar photons I was reminded of how fine it would have been if as an adult if I had afforded more time for continuing scientific and philosophical researches. There should be some method to harvest solar and stellar photons in large fields to convert the energy to useful electrical potential for very nominal cost--actually for collecting the potential energy and narrowly applying it to self-interest.

An electro-magnetic accelerator or linear magnetic accelrator would accelerate a space journey unit at speed in relation to the mass of the unit to travel and the amount of energy activated sequentially on-line. To accelerate slow enough for survival of humans energy is only gradually added until at higher speed increased sub-6 G acceleration accumutively has reached a very high speed.
With a technology to shape electro-magnetic fields and to energize them with captured photons accelerators of sufficient size to allow velocities of a significant portion of the speed of light could be achieved.
Electromagnetic projectile accelerator
United States Patent 4432333 --
"Electromagnetic projectile accelerator comprising stationary coreless coils arranged in a row thus forming a tube. On the interior wall surface of said tube electrically opposite poled plates are mounted establishing an electric field.
The magnetic projectile moving through the said electric field generates an alternating switching mode in the respective electromagnetic coils whereby the acceleration of the projectile within the tube is performed."
