President Obama fired his top General in Afghanistan, General McCrystal. Gen. McCrystal's approach was military vestment heavy. The alternate approach is that of V.P. Biden. President Obama ignores Vice President Biden's advice on how to reduce U.S. costs in the Afghan rebuilding effort. Biden's less-is-better approach is better for U.S. financial continuity. President Obama for some reason believes that U.S. security is better defended by borrowing trillions from abroad and spending it on ineffective military efforts. President Obama hasn't sufficient reason or conviction to know what to do with the security issue evidently. He believes a moderate approach is good, yet there is no real moderate course.
Border security should be increased with berms, barriers and elevated patrol highways along the Mexican border. Better tracking methods of legal aliens that overstay their visa should be innovated. A U.S. special black ops force should be created with 150,000 special forces to quickly reply to adverse, threatening situations, and the conventional military buildup should be reduced by 25% across the board.
Afghanistan's newly found mineral wealth should be given to the people of that nation in a public corporation in which they are issued shares as any other corporation listed on stock exchanges. The people must own real equity if they are to support democracy and a particular government representation of it.
Central Asia has one lessons for foreign invaders and militarists; they will be outlasted by the resistance of millions and millions of people that don't have much else to do in the long run. If the United States has no plans to make Afghanistan the 51st states and populate it with illegal Mexican aliens to solve two problems at once, then it should fall back into a less financially damaging de frappe policy of just reply to with condign force to threatening, particular opposition force arrays in Afghanistan if they form. The U.S. financial outlays for military occupation and nation building are a victory for Al Qa'eda as the Obama administration ineptly throws good, borrowed, hundreds of billions of dollars after bad

Second and Third World Nations Should Have Resources Owned by the Citizens in Private Stock Issuance
The Alaska Permanent Fund is a bad model for a second and third world nation to follow. It is simply an investment fund that the state legislature puts some oil royalties into occassionally for the people. The people are thus at the mercy of the politicians perennially.
Although Senator Biden supported an Alaska Permanent Fund style policy for Iraq several years ago, I was then advocating that the people own the oil fields directly, and that the Iraqi government have just a ten percent share of the oil stock in order to fund itself. The Alaska Permanent Fund model is used to deceive the people about owning their own oil or natural resources.
Afghanistan should create a public corporation to own all of the oil fields oil resources and have a board operate it like BP or Exxon, or instead of BP and Exxon in the case of oil. Their would be an initial stock issuance to all Afghan citizens, and they could buy, sell or trade the stock after a decade or two. The Afghan mineral resources would be privately held, and popular support for the government that issued the stock would result--its very, very simple and necessary if second and third world countries are not to be run by dictators, corrupt politicians and global resource extraction corporate bribing as in Nigeria perhaps, or maybe Venezuela before the dubiously progress Chavez government took over.
Even Mexico would be a better place if the oil resources of PEMEX were reallocated to being owned by the people of Iraq--they might be able to resist drug traffickers better. Russia is another country that needs to have the public directly own all of its oil through a one-time stock issue to all Russian citizens.

Gravity; Comments About That Mysterious Force
Gravity is a mysterious, wonderful force that seems to cross the universe even if the space-time of the universe is expanding. Experimenters from Galileo to Newton and Einstein and pondered the nature of gravity, how it works and what it is. Modern theorists continue to search for its elusive definition.I will provide my own unscientific ideas about gravity here.
Some scientists seek to explain gravity's power through inclusive of it as a particle-wave in the standard model of physics. A quantum field theory with gravity would be like an electro-magnetic field theory and bring the explanation of how gravity can act at a distance as the weakest of the four basic forces of nature.
I wonder about gravity too. The anthropic principle is a recurring phenomenon of contemporary physical cosmology; how is it that in this universe everything just happens to be fine-tuned to produce a field enabling life? The Universe easily could have different fine adjustments that would deny even the existence of matter much less life. The anthropic principle also applies to history in a way (of course it does because its about people)--Because so many philosophers, physicists and experimenters have thought about gravity and written about it, so can I although with the technical rigor of a scientist. So I have several questions about gravity created by recent reading.
1) If a graviton-particle exists, would it have nearly zero mass like a photon in order to travel intergalactic distances?
2) Wouldn't the graviton be subject to the conservation of mass and energy such that it is neither created or destroyed in the universe (in a finite structure)?
3) If gravitons are formed as a product of mass-energy, or are implicit qualities of mass-energy, when gravitational concentrations arise would the proportionately remove 'brakes' on the acceleration of space-time as mass=energy and gravity is concentrated unequally in the volume of space-time?
4) If a faster than light inflation of the Universe occurred, was it something like the collision produced in a particle accelerator with the mass-energy of the visible universe being the after-effect eventually coalescing with gravity?
5) If a gravitational field exists universally inclusive of the entire universe something like that of an electro-magnetic field, what would be its meta-universal power source? Would the field characteristics determine the rate of allocation of mass-energy in the universe? Could the field be predetermined in space-time?
6) Must hyper-dimensional shape of a universe expanding outward necessarily have no limit in time, as time limits would need to coincide with spatial limits? Must a space-time boundary necessarily have a smaller or confining shape such as the point at the end of a cone approached from inside the larger, open end? Would the cone travelled from the small end to the large end in a static field increase speed of apparent expansion as it moved toward the open end in a progressive yet proportionate series rate of increase?
7) Space-time may expand at an increasing rate like a drop of water in a calm sea produced a wave that increases area at a faster apparent pace viewed from the point of space-time origin in the water-field because its wavefront continually increase in area.
The wavefront is a structure started at a small scale with fore that increase progressively in area and volume because it expresses itself within the medium of water or space-time such as exist. That reasoning produced the aether theories of a background medium for the universe. Space-time might be regarded as something like an aether in which mass-energy and gravitons might express themselves. Yet if space-time exists apart from mass-energy then it must have some kind of a field-energy itself. Space-time could be regarded as previously existing as a background independent space-time field into which mass-energy were thrown. That does not seem like a very scientific approach though. Cosmology today enjoys something more of an existential criterion for the standard model and a unified quantum theory of gravity I believe.
8) One wonders why gravitons ever left their point of origin associated with mass? Why would they journey over space-time at all to contact other mass-energy?
9) if gravitons have any mass, why don't they form their own clumps of matter midway between larger object far apart--such as a new clump of mass midway between the Milky Way and the Andromeda Galaxies?
Maybe that is the best argument for gravity as a macro-field--gravitons seem like neutrinos just to flow through everything of space-time except space-itself that they seem to warp or curve in proportion to their number. They seem to function at the speed of light in warping space around a clump of mass-energy, and have a finite area of application diminishing in power in accord with Newton's law something like an expanding wave increasing its area yet diminishing in height or proximal size.
10) If gravity is a field that might be described eventually by scientists with a quantum field theory, would the gravitational field be local or part of one unified gravitational field with local variations of space-time?
11) So one may wonder what the binding power of a graviton is? Does it cohere to any form of mass or energy just some? If its field is one-directional; why?
When the moon circles around the Earth perpetually bound by the gravitational field of the mass of the Earth even though it tries to go in a straight line away (and vice versa to a lesser extent), what is the factor giving the 'curve' to space time?
Do gravitons occupy quantum states like those of the valence shells of atoms that only permit simultaneous occupation of so many? With the information of the gravitons of the larger mass filling all those valence states of the local space time is that how the 'curvature' of space-time is selected locally in favor of a slope toward the larger mass (because it has more numbers of valence state shell positions of space-time filled than a smaller Local mass?)? Perhaps space-time itself has intervals and spacing characteristics like those of quantum field theory. This would be a democratic theory of gravitational selection.
Well, so much for my thoughts about gravity this morning. I will perhaps continue these observations another time.

To Stabilize Democracy; Give Afghanistan's Mineral Wealth to the Citizens in A Public Stock Issuance
The Obama administration has an opportunity in Afghanistan to direct that the recently announced mineral wealth of that nation be owned directly by the people of Afghanistan in a public company with all shares owned by the people. The Bush administration passed such an opportunity in Iraq with Iraqi oil dooming the United States to seven more years of nation rebuilding more expensive than most wars. Without public ownership of mineral wealth or oil in second and third world nations inevitably corrupt, exclusive government owning elites dominate the natural resource wealth and are opposed by low-level popular insurgencies.
When a new government is created along democratic lines a rational concern is who will own the natural resource wealth of that nation. If the people own it in private shares that are tradable after several years like any other publicly listed corporate stock, then the government will have popular support and the equally important denial of resource control by exclusive and corrupt elites will occur.
The Obama administration of course will most likely fail to insure that the minerals of Afghanistan will be quickly given to the citizens of Afghanistan through a general stock issuance in The Afghanistan Mining Company. The Afghanistan Mining Company would be managed in the interim by an initial board comprised of N.A.T.O. member nations and Afghanis. One of its duties would be to put out to bid for development the natural mineral resources of Afghanistan. The Afghan citizen shareholders of would receive a 70% royalty of all wealth extracted by the winning developing corporation who would receive thirty percent of the profit from sale of the resource.
If the Iraqi’s had formed a similar public corporation for the initial ownership of Iraq’s oil fields it is likely that peace through broad popular support for the stock issuing government would have occurred by 2004 or 2005 permitting the U.S. to withdraw more military forces earlier. It would be a doubly stupid error for the Obama administration to repeat the Bush II administration’s mistake.
President Obama does have the leverage over the Karzai Government to bring about the populist stock issuance of an Afghanistan Mining Company and he should. The United States and N.A.T.O. countries cannot afford to have continuing protracted incompetence in military financial outlays that could be avoided through implementation of foreign policy in support of democracy and democratic values instead of those of corporatism and corrupting global extraction industry corporations. If democracy is not supported through plain fair public ownership of natural resources in second and third world countries, domestic and international terrorism forms to revolt against those governments. The United States in support of global corporations operating in second and third world nations then intervenes to reinforce corrupt dictatorships. That is a wrong policy side to be on.
From British Petroleum and its history as the British Iranian Oil Company and C.I.A. support for the overthrow of the Iranian Government to bring in the Shah so The forerunner of today’s BP could keep their oil from being nationalized, to Anglo-American Mining with plans to develop a Pebble Mine in Alaska on the headwaters of the Bristol Bay salmon fishery with their history in South African Diamond mining global extraction industries have in such a way that they are often conflict with local populist political concerns. President Obama should support democracy in Afghanistan instead of protracted defenses of corruption and foreign corporate mining interests if he ants a reasonable opportunity for a stable Afghanistan to form such that the taxpayers of the United States will not need to have more trillions wrested from them to spend in central Asian military boondoggles.

Science, Christianity and Faith Issues
Truth theories may be variable, and need to cohere with present definitions of what truth is. Christians believe the sole constant valid meta-truth is Jesus Christ as the Word of God. Some super-string theorists may find variability of constants as a fact, that is time and the laws of nature are not eternally static.
One may develop an infinite number of theories about anything, including of course, history and historical writing.
Regarding the numerous aspects of any ancient material such as the Bible, it is common that many offer opinions upon it from the basis of ignorance complete or partial. Such faulty reasoning is excusable generally only when guesswork is all that is possible. That is not the case with much of the Biblical discussion and content.
If one cares little about error philosophically, one should be inclined to promote ideas perhaps for political reasons or for receiving particular rewards rather than discovery of truth. Truth has a pervasive meaning of referring to accuracy between subject and predicate, or confirmation of a predication as accurate. Fundamentally it posits the coordinate relation of an internal or external object and verifies the relation as existing or not.
Truth theory itself of course has numerous forms in philosophy that I won't detail here. In physics and math there are numerous methods of discovery of various relations and representations in quantum mechanics I have been reading recently, that may present several courses for transformations about real and imaginary axes. What coordinate in a representational system is true except in a reference to it regarding something else?
One may formulate various verbal or conceptual descriptions of God, or the Creator of all that exists , yet one generally does not posit an internal, subjective idea as corresponding to any external object or being directly. Representation of exterior or transcending objects or material or spiritual facts may be made with ideas, or even necessarily are made with ideas and words or other abstract symbols, yet few would mistake those representations for the things-in-themselves. God obviously would not be mistaken for a subjective idea,or even a subconscious idea, any more than one would posit Mt. Everest to be just an idea within one's mind.
Epistemological interpretation of real objects make occur within Kant's noumenal phenomenology of mind. Quantum mechanics can describe incompletely various representations of eigenstates of particles without requisite that one visualize the states of quantum field elements. What Mt. Everest is for-itself without human cognitive interpretation or transformation into a realizable object is difficult to say. We would tend to regard Mt. Everest as a quantum field of certain characteristics, and might relate those to other reference structures in space-time abstractly, and with complexity. God would be far more complex, and really impossible, to describe with in terms of particular quantum field states--he is bigger than that, and more uncertain or undefinable regarding particular characteristics that might be quantified.
Germs have not always existed.They are said to be an evolutionary development of an historical nature. Bacteria and viruses developed at different times. Eukaryote and prokaryote evolved dissimultaneously it is thought--yet who can be certain? The soft tissues don't fossilize well at all.
http://www.mansfield.ohio-state.edu/~sabedon/biol2007.htm
To define the meaning of germs linguisticaly is to construct parameters in which germs have then potential to be said to exist. When germs were discovered and named,linguistically they might be said to exist thereafter.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germ_theory_of_disease
In biological history, the existence of germs may again be contingent upon a definition and function of their relationships to biological life forms. Microbes are another term for germs. Micro-organisms are pervasive and earliest hypothesized things to live on Earth commonly. The wikipedia article link describes some of the history of micro-organisms.
It has little relevance to the veracity of a Biblical theory of life though, since Adam and Eve were interpolated from an extra-dimensional space-time or pre-space-time environment onto the Earth at the Garden of Eden (guarded by four cherubim possibly representing the dimensions of space-time (4). If the fated pair of fallen were translated into a fallen temporal Earth already in an advanced state of evolution, or if the entire universe were created at that point as if it had evolved, it makes little difference to the veracity of either science or religion. As in super-string theory there are lots of possible forumulae or structure to theorize with. We thank God for not providing Adam and Eve with advanced physics and biological data in the garden of Eden period, for their descendants might have blown up the world and even caused more offshore oil spills earlier in human history.
The Bible is not a book about science. The Old Testament may be considered a brilliant historical work and the New Testament a group of epistes or letters. The 66 books of the Bible each differ and yet have similarities. One might read...
'http://www.amazon.com/Cosmic-Codes-Hidden-Messages-Eternity/dp/1578212553
by Chuck Missler for interesting ideas about it. Many authors have sought to learn more and deeper meanings from the Bible.
Many since the enlightenment have sought to make categorical denunciations of Biblical veracity-yet that isn't a very valid approach to reasoning about it. Following is one obvious equivalence of Biblical literals to American normal time literals--keep in mind that in real modern physics there are quite a few ways to refer to space-time, mass, energy and so forth that are very surprising to us not accustomed to thinking in terms of quantum mechanics. God's power to transform reality or even to create the present Universe exceeds whatever we might think about it as contingent, temporal beings. U1,SU2 and transformations of multi-axis coordinate maths extrapolated to infinite dimensions are probably trivialities to the Creator of all possible universes. We can admire Abelian and non-Abelian guage theories anyway. Or use simple math and Peter's multiple.

All (u)'whoman' knowledge is contained within the Universe that is contained within God. Some may to put up and knock down straw man arguments, or use ad hominems and other logical fallacies in order to attack the realms of absolute spirit and so forth. If one wishes to give them credit for good intentions and speculate that they art misled by other worldly or wrong ideas about the Bible and of God, one may do so though risking extending social credit too far possibly.
Good science is a process of learning. C.S. Peirce, inventor of pragmatism, believed scientific thought needed to have practical value. Some such as Smolin have written at length about the problems with the scientific method in super-string theory, in that testable, falsifiable hypotheses seldom arise. I think that engineering of scientific and mathematical knowledge has the potential for much malleability, of innumerable transformations of structural relations of mass and energy. Philosophically however the rash application of technique can be viewed as potential harmful.
Seldom are scientific ideas adequately reviewed by society before their application. We experience the complete incompetence of drilling offshore for oil in what is essentially a vulnerable food production area of the planet comprising 7/10ths of the planetary surface area, of Minimata chemical tragedies along with those of Bhopal.
Christians may fairly be skeptical about worldliness, yet J. Vernon McGee (I believe) said that the worldliness Christians are warned of is that of the cosmos, or the cosmopolitan community of mankind that is as inflammatory and unstable, oppressive and cruel simultaneously as all of the worst extremes of human history from Sodom and Gomorrah to Auschwitz and the Killing Fields of Cambodia, Rwanda, and so forth.
Christians hope to follow the Word of God and pursue enlightenment and salvation through the grace of the Spirit. Some wonder what the spirit is, or believe paradoxically in nothing except the formation of present quarks, dimensional strings and their changing forms.
One must be reserved in speculating about the meaning or meaninglessness of concatenations of strings of one dimension struck from a unified all dimensions phenomenality such that after a reduction into light speed and physical law parameters the dimensions create myriad different particles, atomic, chemical and spatio-temporal configurations inclusive of the living process we call life.
Life and spirit are things of God. One's poverty of faith and reasoning may bring one to find various mutually exclusive and exhaustive relationships where none exist including that of scientific inquiry and faith in God. I think that is a tragedy since the phenomenal nature and temporal phase-form of life viewed perhaps by those well--educated in quantum mechanical cosmology may have much in common with the Biblical point of view regarding the brevity of life expressed by Solomon and in Ecclesiastes.
-from the King James version
"13Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.
14For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.
15She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.
16Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour.
17Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.
18She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that retaineth her.
19The LORD by wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding hath he established the heavens.
20By his knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds drop down the dew."

Micro-organisms are pervasive and earliest hypothesized things to live on Earth commonly. The wikipedia article link describes some of the history of micro-organisms.
It has little relevance to the veracity of a Biblical theory of life though, since Adam and Eve were interpolated from an extra-dimensional space-time or pre-space-time environment onto the Earth at the Garden of Eden (guarded by four cherubim possibly representing the dimensions of space-time (4). If the fated pair of fallen were translated into a fallen temporal Earth already in an advanced state of evolution, or if the entire universe were created at that point as if it had evolved, it makes little difference to the veracity of either science or religion. As in super-string theory there are lots of possible forumulae or structure to theorize with. We thank God for not providing Adam and Eve with advanced physics and biological data in the garden of Eden period, for their descendants might have blown up the world and even caused more offshore oil spills earlier in human history.
The Bible is not a book about science. The Old Testament may be considered a brilliant historical work and the New Testament a group of epistes or letters. The 66 books of the Bible each differ and yet have similarities. One might read...

by Chuck Missler for interesting ideas about it. Many authors have sought to learn more and deeper meanings from the Bible.
Many since the enlightenment have sought to make categorical denunciations of Biblical veracity-yet that isn't a very valid approach to reasoning about it. Following is one obvious equivalence of Biblical literals to American normal time literals--keep in mind that in real modern physics there are quite a few ways to refer to space-time, mass, energy and so forth that are very surprising to us not accustomed to thinking in terms of quantum mechanics. God's power to transform reality or even to create the present Universe exceeds whatever we might think about it as contingent, temporal beings. U1,SU2 and transformations of multi-axis coordinate maths extrapolated to infinite dimensions are probably trivialities to the Creator of all possible universes. We can admire Abelian and non-Abelian guage theories anyway. Or use simple math and Peter's multiple.

All (u)'whoman' knowledge is contained within the Universe that is contained within God. Some may to put up and knock down straw man arguments, or use ad hominems and other logical fallacies in order to attack the realms of absolute spirit and so forth. If one wishes to give them credit for good intentions and speculate that they art misled by other worldly or wrong ideas about the Bible and of God, one may do so though risking extending social credit too far possibly.
Good science is a process of learning. C.S. Peirce, inventor of pragmatism, believed scientific thought needed to have practical value. Some such as Smolin have written at length about the problems with the scientific method in super-string theory, in that testable, falsifiable hypotheses seldom arise. I think that engineering of scientific and mathematical knowledge has the potential for much malleability, of innumerable transformations of structural relations of mass and energy. Philosophically however the rash application of technique can be viewed as potential harmful.
Seldom are scientific ideas adequately reviewed by society before their application. We experience the complete incompetence of drilling offshore for oil in what is essentially a vulnerable food production area of the planet comprising 7/10ths of the planetary surface area, of Minimata chemical tragedies along with those of Bhopal.
Christians may fairly be skeptical about worldliness, yet J. Vernon McGee (I believe) said that the worldliness Christians are warned of is that of the cosmos, or the cosmopolitan community of mankind that is as inflammatory and unstable, oppressive and cruel simultaneously as all of the worst extremes of human history from Sodom and Gomorrah to Auschwitz and the Killing Fields of Cambodia, Rwanda, and so forth.
Christians hope to follow the Word of God and pursue enlightenment and salvation through the grace of the Spirit. Some wonder what the spirit is, or believe paradoxically in nothing except the formation of present quarks, dimensional strings and their changing forms.
One must be reserved in speculating about the meaning or meaninglessness of concatenations of strings of one dimension struck from a unified all dimensions phenomenality such that after a reduction into light speed and physical law parameters the dimensions create myriad different particles, atomic, chemical and spatio-temporal configurations inclusive of the living process we call life.
Life and spirit are things of God. One's poverty of faith and reasoning may bring one to find various mutually exclusive and exhaustive relationships where none exist including that of scientific inquiry and faith in God. I think that is a tragedy since the phenomenal nature and temporal phase-form of life viewed perhaps by those well--educated in quantum mechanical cosmology may have much in common with the Biblical point of view regarding the brevity of life expressed by Solomon and in Ecclesiastes.

"13Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.
14For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.
15She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.
16Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour.
17Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.
18She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that retaineth her.

1993 Democratic Congress Retarded U.S. High-Energy Physics and Set Future Economy Waning
When the U.S. Congress cancelled construction of the SSC project in 1993 during the Clinton administration it capped long-range U.S. leadership in particle physics research. The eleven billion dollar particle accelerator was a Reagan-era challenged that was given up on by Democrat politicians.
The Waxahachie Texas 87 mile superconductor may have nettled profit takers in the Democratic majority Congress because it was an obvious continuity of high-tech republican leadership into an era when gaying up the military and outsourcing jobs to China were big on the political agenda. The Democratic waning of special Texas science projects coincided with the rise of flam finance, mortgage trading and Wall Street flummery and eventually the present economic collapse. It would be appropriate to immediately vote to restore science in the national budget and build the Ronald Reagan Moon Base with full funding taken from the Iraq and Afghanistan extraction industry protracted lackey nation building boondoggles.
The Obama administration cancelled another Republican high tech project-the planned return to the moon of U.S. astronauts in a ditch a Texas political lead effort (G.W.H. Bush) like that of the earlier 1993 democratic-led U.S. Congress. The consequences of killing long range U.S. big science projects may be to make the U.S.A. a stumbling, reactionary, ineffective at leadership nation of small science followers struggling to top-kill tampons on Gulf oil spills for several months or years (when at least 90% containment should be achieved) along with sundry unforeseen scienceand technology failures.
I suggest that the U.S. Congress restore both projects, combining them with immediate design funding to build a very large particle accelerator on the moon exploiting its low temperature for super-conducting. The United States government should become more intelligent and innovate ways to combine several different missions in one project. The moon base and Constellation plus heavy lift system should create a lunar science and physics research facility along with a high-tech electro-magnetic transportation line to move personnel. Robotic tunneling machines, solar photon capture and production locally of select technology should be packaged in a project methodology including housing. Low temperature superconductors attached above ground on the slopes of very large craters in perennial low temperatures could be innovated at lower cost than those of present high-energy particle physics research facilities on Earth.
The United States should not acquiesce in worldly economic failures and a backward-looking operations ideology war-heavy set against foreign ‘small peoples’ in large numbers. It is better to defend the U.S.A., proximally at the borders and invest abroad in peaceful economic interventions than the social horror and virtual economic hallucination of modern high-tech war. Of all the possible scenarios for historical development to choose from-an ability a powerful nation often has, it is desirable to select optimal, utopian kinds of actualizations rather than dystopian, profligate and environmentally deleterious. Stupidity is perhaps the reason why choices in foreign policy are limited to just a few frequently. Like the U(1) SU(2) rotational axis of physics, political imaginary space may have an infinite number, rather than just a few, possible courses of action that may be brought into being.

Transformative political paradigms may be represented in Hilbert space as well as quantum mechanics. If there is one thing that might be learned from superstring theory and Lie groups that might be usefully applied to the formulation of U.S. foreign policy, it is the point that the perceptual challenges are interactively configured with personal epistemology and though paradigm constructions that can always be improved or even transformed without losing a desired identity or constant value.
An advancing civilization with new global demographic and resource challenges cannot simply continue along economic lines forged in historically different circumstances when the global resources to continue those inefficient methods no longer prevail. With billions more people on Earth today than formerly consuming far more resources and polluting the finite planetary ecosystem incessantly a transition to a higher civilization with simplified supporting structures appropriate for the demographic facts is necessary.
The surface of the Earth is heavily scarred and exploited by us human life forms. We are devastating other life on Earth creating a mass extinction of other species and even affecting the atmospheric temperature. Oil, coal, nuclear, hydroelectric and other energy production technologies are leaving vast and harmful primary and secondary effects. Billions of people more want the ‘benefits’ of such economic technologies that presently do not have access to them—and that is bad news for the health of all life on Earth including human beings. Constructing roads, bridges, dams and pipelines in the present era continues technologies deleterious for the future health of the world’s people. More advanced, efficient technologies of a simpler, less harmful displacing insinuation into the living world ecostructure are required for progress now. Breaking with the inertia of actualized technologies in a transformative progress is exceedingly challenging for political reasons.
A simplified planetary geothermal energy infrastructure of well design deep-mined thermal heating energy corridors to collect Earth heat for electrical production of steam and wind turbines could be created to eliminate all the other previously mentioned technologies of producing electricity. Excellent, low cost, energy efficient housing designs should become zoned into law along with a no-net-loss of biota principle. Economic theory needs rectification to advocate for environmental health as a fundamental goal. Minimum income for all and a free planetary transportation infrastructure should be created while strong national boundary controls are reinforced to keep order in economic and social construction. Business needs to adapt to become a more like science research projects. Business research may be conducted, but business development would need to be screened, reviewed and selected for social and environmental value before being allowed to go ahead. An advanced economy needs to recognize implicitly the significant effects upon the health of the world ecosystem of all real-world developments and democratically elect the most useful projects from amidst a competition of projects for selection.
If the needs of all citizens for adequate food, shelter, clothing and privacy are met through economic rationalism, and economics advances to the support of volunteer and private liberty time for investment in restoration of the world environment, pursuit of learning and health as lifetime activities of a normal kind. Local agriculture of an organic kind should receive public political support. Kimbell’s ‘Fatal Harvest’ details some of the problems with the present industrial agriculture totalization of food production.
It may be possible to politically attain maturity beyond the venal and ideological denunciations of cooperative political review of economic reality as socialistic or capitalistic. All matter is a kind of ‘capital’ that may be formed or transformed into various uses. The most efficient social economy is one in which basic needs of all citizens are met at a satisfactory level, and with the liberty then granted for free time, research into most optimal business or scientific developments are pursued as a kind of art activity in-itself.
These are not unrealistic or unattainable social changes. In fact they are necessary if the ad hoc yet interminable reduction of the health of the finite global ecosystem are to be stopped and reversed in order that quality human life may continue.
With population stabilization and aging global populations a low maintenance energy infrastructure is highly desirable, along with transportation. The elderly with secure housing and high tech communications and artificial intelligence in health monitoring and diagnostic software should reduce the need for much labor in home health care. With adequate universal food production and housing quality and security for the aged and all people more free time and work will be available for scientific and business research. Democratic selection of business proposals that will best materially advance the nation and world interests will be active phenomena.
Citizens will be free to acquire capital and buy products, yet no citizen should have more than 20 times the capital of the most poor. The basic social capital would become something like a right to actualize ideas in material form when basic economic needs are met for all. Inventors with accumulated social capital would have a better opportunity to actualize their proposals, yet not too much better, for it is a democracy after all.
The social theory held over from a Darwinian-Spenserian past that competition for-itself confers the right to victimize other humans and the environment is a sort of legitimization of economic cannibalism in the modern world. Large science projects such as the Orion-Constellation moon program and Super-Duper Super Conductors on the moon need to go ahead even while the usual economic messes of potage are made on Earth with unnecessary protracted wars for economic reasons and vast oil and chemical pollution continue. If the Arctic Ocean has offshore oil wells to match those of the Gulf of Mexico all the world’s fisheries and marine health will be in an industrial pincer’s lock of death. The next war that attacks and looses those oil wells could set a lake of fire to burning along with beaches and marshes flambeau.
The U.S. government seems like a government unconcerned about the long-range ecological and economic security of the people of the United States. It seems to support a disposable business product phenomenalization that reapportions political power internationally through economic methodology. The U.S. Government should at least make the Arctic Ocean and oil development free ocean through international treaty in order that at least one clean ocean will exist on Earth for a time. Water flowing north through the Bering Strait with contaminates might be filtered in theory, while the Greenland currents tend to flow south.

Develop Geothermal Power in U.S.A. for Energy Independence & Desalinization of Seawater for Mexican Boundary Canal
Geothermal power draws upon the extreme heat from the interior of the Earth for energy that could be 3000 to 5000 degrees Celsius. States such as Alaska and California could supply one hundred percent of their electrical power needs from construction of advanced geothermal power stations below the surface of the Earth.
The United States of America had 3,086 megawatts of geothermal power capacity in 2010, the potential power is far higher.
Extending unemployment benefits until the November election, a catastrophic Gulf of Mexico oil wellhead rupture that flows on for months, decades of millions of illegal aliens entering the U.S.A. from Mexico, twin foreign extraction industry resource wars that cost trillions running on for a decade in Iraq and Afghanistan—these are discouraging facts that make the packing of the U.S. Supreme Court with the Harvard Alumni Association pale in comparison. We find Federal incompetence discouraging. Geothermal power is one way the government could do something right theoretically.
Mining and drilling techniques are easily capable of reaching very hot temperatures two or three miles down. Instead of relying upon natural geothermal vent extrusions to the planetary surface, public utilities could employ mining and energy engineers to design deep tunnel water and air heating systems to convert seawater into steam for power turbines, or in Alaska to power large wind generators placed in tunnels exploiting loop circuits of wind created by the temperature differences between the old outside air temperature and the very hot temperature deep below the Earth. Needless to say, the air would be completely renormalized to the ambient air temperature before release in order not to add to global warming.
The interior of the Earth is several thousand degrees in temperature, and with careful design hundreds of miles of hot water and steam or hot air tunnels could be built to provide environmentally clean energy of a renewable kind. Such structures might also be used to desalinate seawater in California.
One should encourage the governments that are inactive presently in pursuit of a mass exploitation of safe structures of geothermal power (not inclined to create avenues of extrusions for volcanism) to do so. It is a reasonable domestic energy source available with some work, energy and investment of intention for national energy independence.

On Western Religion and Science/History
I consider science to be less than philosophical today, unlike in the era of the enlightenment. String theory has predominated for about thirty years, and writers such as Woit and Smolin have been critical about the sociology of science of recent times. This global corporate era demands conformity and immorality upon all including scientists-individual thought is rather derided and pure materialism along with crass social power over 'the small people' is demanded.
I had some ideas about parameters of cosmology that fit a little with philosophy. Philosophical thought about cosmology today may be a way of thinking about making selections amidst a zillion theories and considering how each might select ontology, world-view, teleology, significance , meaning and so forth.
This is an example of a cosmological concern.
Double Special Relativity I and II are newer ways of applying the special theory of relativity. There may be a minimum constant as well as a maximum constant (the speed of light). I am not very knowledgeable about either, yet with a minimum and maximum scale relativity takes on a different context not just physically,but philosophically.
I simply wonder about the phenomena of existence as a circumstance given by God, with the backdrop of theories about construction of the universe.
My hope is that in some future insight I will have a better idea of how relativity theory parameters cohere with a construction of one-dimensional units underlying everything--especially if there are minimum planck length constants that would seem necessarily to be at least one-direction limits rather than isotropic. We can infer that fact at least with the speed of light, since cosmologists speculate that faster than light inflation of the universe occurred at Time=O. The accelleration may have been infinite to start with for a fraction of a second until decellerating to sub-light speed--and that must have been a heck of a jolt for any passengers on board.
So what about religion and science? Religion is about transcendent affairs with a requirement for a little metaphysical faith. Science may exploit intuition for a fell swoop conceptualization of the unknown aspects of universal phenomena, yet that is a dissimilar activity from general religious activity, and of course we cannot reasonably lump together all varieties of religious experience.
Science is specialized while philosophy is generalized. Specialized data may support general theory, yet generalities are not as readily falsifiable as are special theories. Religions may represent immanent and transcending categories of meaning and fact irreducible to testable hypotheses.
It is worth considering that the French revolution was against an old regime that included conservative church property holding more like feudalism and aristocracy possessions than not. The political and social history of society is different than the consideration of the veracity of particular concepts of religion--of the truth of Jesus Christ in particular.
Jesus Christ in the parable of the sower explains to a crowd about receiving the word of God, and if the meaning 'sticks'. Then His disciple asked him what the parable meant. Jesus explained that he spoke in parables in order that those listening might not understand, and then explained the parable to the disciples. Our Lord seemed somewhat sarcastic I think, as he was talking to the dolts (strikethrough that), the 'small people' who are human beings without an oil company free to pollute the oceans. Two thousand years of retrospect and somewhat more comfortable circumstances make The Lord's brevity and clarification appear strikingly effective.
Jesus explained the meaning of the parable to the disciple completely. Providing the correct level of implicit meaning to mortal man at the right intellectual level must have been a little challenging,or at least it would have been for a human instructor.
Elements of the historical evolution of science through the enlightenment toward a different time paradigm than that held by the ancien regime and their co-religionists of conservative catholicism of the era may be considered. Science and democratic politics sought an objective or perhaps 'fair' social basis without special privilege for hereditary classes or beliefs. Thus the heritage of bias against religion by scientists associated with the overturning of pre-revolutionary political circumstances developed an atheistic inertia for-itself. Delimiting right realms of civil rights for the new social boundaries of individualism would be difficult and continue to the present era when homosexual efforts for hegemony over heterosexual institutions would overturn natural reason for itself in an effort to make the helium reverse radiation to yield hydrogen or deuterium in effect--neither the direction of time nor the nature of sexuality as isotropic in structural composition.
The land holdings and sociological facts of that time and since have little or no relationship to the objective nature of the truth of the Bible or of objective enquires of reason. Yet that point was one of the main points such as Rousseau and Kant held that differed with the three classes of pre-revolutionary French society.
The authority of royalty was held to be absolute, and the commoners were considered blessed to be ignorant and encouraged to remain so. The oppression of would be authorities can be extreme. The will to power may be intense and pervasive as minorities express the desire to rule without consent as many subjects as they may acquire.

My hope is that in some future insight I will have a better idea of how relativity theory parameters cohere with a construction of one-dimensional units underlying everything--especially if there are minimum planck length constants that would seem necessarily to be at least one-direction limits rather than isotropic. We can infer that fact at least with the speed of light, since cosmologists speculate that faster than light inflation of the universe occurred at Time=O. The accelleration may have been infinite to start with for a fraction of a second until decellerating to sub-light speed--and that must have been a heck of a jolt for any passengers on board.
So what about religion and science? Religion is about transcendent affairs with a requirement for a little metaphysical faith. Science may exploit intuition for a fell swoop conceptualization of the unknown aspects of universal phenomena, yet that is a dissimilar activity from general religious activity, and of course we cannot reasonably lump together all varieties of religious experience.
Science is specialized while philosophy is generalized. Specialized data may support general theory, yet generalities are not as readily falsifiable as are special theories. Religions may represent immanent and transcending categories of meaning and fact irreducible to testable hypotheses.
It is worth considering that the French revolution was against an old regime that included conservative church property holding more like feudalism and aristocracy possessions than not. The political and social history of society is different than the consideration of the veracity of particular concepts of religion--of the truth of Jesus Christ in particular.
Jesus Christ in the parable of the sower explains to a crowd about receiving the word of God, and if the meaning 'sticks'. Then His disciple asked him what the parable meant. Jesus explained that he spoke in parables in order that those listening might not understand, and then explained the parable to the disciples. Our Lord seemed somewhat sarcastic I think, as he was talking to the dolts (strikethrough that), the 'small people' who are human beings without an oil company free to pollute the oceans. Two thousand years of retrospect and somewhat more comfortable circumstances make The Lord's brevity and clarification appear strikingly effective.
Jesus explained the meaning of the parable to the disciple completely. Providing the correct level of implicit meaning to mortal man at the right intellectual level must have been a little challenging,or at least it would have been for a human instructor.
Elements of the historical evolution of science through the enlightenment toward a different time paradigm than that held by the ancien regime and their co-religionists of conservative catholicism of the era may be considered. Science and democratic politics sought an objective or perhaps 'fair' social basis without special privilege for hereditary classes or beliefs. Thus the heritage of bias against religion by scientists associated with the overturning of pre-revolutionary political circumstances developed an atheistic inertia for-itself. Delimiting right realms of civil rights for the new social boundaries of individualism would be difficult and continue to the present era when homosexual efforts for hegemony over heterosexual institutions would overturn natural reason for itself in an effort to make the helium reverse radiation to yield hydrogen or deuterium in effect--neither the direction of time nor the nature of sexuality as isotropic in structural composition.
The land holdings and sociological facts of that time and since have little or no relationship to the objective nature of the truth of the Bible or of objective enquires of reason. Yet that point was one of the main points such as Rousseau and Kant held that differed with the three classes of pre-revolutionary French society.
The authority of royalty was held to be absolute, and the commoners were considered blessed to be ignorant and encouraged to remain so. The oppression of would be authorities can be extreme. The will to power may be intense and pervasive as minorities express the desire to rule without consent as many subjects as they may acquire.

Democrats Reformed Health Care For The Advantage Of Economic Insiders
The national health care structure foisted upon the nation in March of this year seemingly created a gerrymandering of implicitly biased health care convolutions structured to strip the poor of health care coverage. With a patchwork of health coverage systems varying in differing states and localities, the poor struggling worker moving across state lines in search of work to afford food, boots and books finds that he not only is ineligible for a local library card as a homeless person, but that the Oregon, Washington or California health care coverage is designed to be as intransigent as the legal bar requirements for an attorney to practice law has placed the invisible shield of proprietary advantage against him. The health care systems of the states are designed to serve advantaged local citizens. The poor are lint or trash largely excluded from the establishment eligibility of the advantaged. The Roman Empire in France made the same kinds of errors during its decadent phase in making its Transalpine Gaul haciendas comfort zones disregarding the external reality of things. The Romans had of course many servants from the internal proletariat.
The poor may find themselves in today’s urban-suburban interface to have few avenues of egress for avoiding the concentrating snares of control placed by advantaged economic insiders. If the poor are not welcome inside the economy they are inevitable processed out through a variety of means including overlapping modalities of concentration, labeling and eventual deletion.
In the Alaska city of Anchorage this year several poor homeless people living in the city’s abundant semi-wild parks froze to death. The compassionate conservativism of the Mayor and city responded by making camping in city parks illegal. During cold late winter weather the poor in homeless camps were given four hours notice before their belongings were seized and destroyed. Because of an A.C.L.U. lawsuit, the notice requirement before eviction was raised up to two weeks more or less. The poor are not simply inebriates though. In a city such as Anchorage with the totalization of theoretical places a poor or broke worker might physically exist to sleep limited to zero places legally outside of concentrating facilities downtown in a very deleterious environment regarding personal privacy, the advantaged have again created structures anisotropically to their own advantage and total power.
The body of an unidentified individual was reported to have been found today someplace in the city of Anchorage’s cardboard recycling facility. It is quite likely that after the homeless camps were raised, ostensibly so they would not freeze to death, that some homeless person sought in vain for new cardboard to build a new survival shelter before the cold overtook his life. Such configurations of public policy to the advantage of economic insiders and non-service to the poor force the poor to fall though the gaps of a health care system designed for the middle class and wealthy.
The poor may be homeless and travel to find employment—often temporary. The poor may comprise a de facto caste system element in America finding that the advantaged consistently deny the opportunity for employment security. Social traits of aggression and dishonesty of such advantage in today’s entry-level corporate world may be characteristics lacking in many of the poor. The health care system is another deficit producing utility for the advantaged, while the poor must even barter property if they have it to afford to pay for basic work-related injuries.
The advantaged in the Boston-Harvard-DC axis of iniquity have forced a corrupt leavening of homosexuality upon many corporate and Internet employment paradigms to cull those opinions of dissent. The Harvard-DC concepts of health care allow illegal immigrants from Mexico admission to the United States to take jobs away from the nation’s poor workers. The Boston-Harvard-DC axis of iniquity invariably caves in to economically advantaged pleas to let in illegal workers to ‘do the jobs Americans won’t. Such iniquity allows the perennial destruction of labor scarcity and better employment prospects for the nation’s poor as a surfeit of Mexicans trample over the labor side of the labor-employer wage negotiation value relation.
The poor of the United States thus remain career outsiders in a caste system created by the political economy of the advantaged insiders of the Harvard-Boston-DC axis of iniquity sucking up to corporate globalism, outsourcing of jobs, insourcing of illegal aliens and totalization of the urban-suburban cores of the nation along with electronic control of health records, police records, charity records and employment records. Like a game of musical chairs in which the poor are perennial losers, the insiders also do not acquire labels of disadvantage as they sit as insiders comfortably in adequately compensated positions. Time passes.
What the axis of iniquity should have done was to create a national health service for the poor that are not of retirement age. To keep costs down that service would provide just basic medical services such as might result from on-the-job injuries. Basic treatment such as repair of broken legs, hernias, head injuries, infected blisters and so forth are easy to diagnose and correct. Nation wide health services for the poor on a rational, measured basis would cover the vast majority of medical services required. Catastrophic injuries or illnesses of the poor not of Medicare coverage age would need directed toward different solutions and would require alternative public policy innovations.
If medical coverage of perhaps the poorest 10% of Americans could be delivered at low cost-even if the coverage isn’t for everything but just perhaps 80% of medical problems the poor experience, it would be much better and cost effective than the ongoing development of an implicitly biased health care and social structure determined to destroy individualism and inhumanize the poor in order that the advantaged might receive better reports from their manager; Satan.
