A Philosophy of The Positive Energy Conjecture

An opportunity to read a book named ‘The Shape of Inner Space’ the interesting topic of minimal surfaces of aboriginal cosmological structures has presented. For readers who are not mathematicians yet cultivate an interest in philosophy and cosmology (including myself) the book is a worthwhile journey through theoretical mathematical constructions of geometric analytical underpinnings of string and M-Theory dedevelopments of recent years.

As I have progressed through this book co-authored by a winner of the Fields Medal I have annotated my reflections on the primeval universe at Time=0. The annotated ideas are not conformal to the explanatory cosmological ‘metric’ presented in ‘The Shape of Inner Space’ because of my comparatively non-technical thought on the topic of technical shapes of constructions of space-time.

The beginning of the Universe is one of the essential topics of inquiry in which humanity has invested time for speculative philosophical effort. What would humanity be besides inchoate or somnambulant lumps of dough without wonder of the nature of things and from whence they arise?

The religious approach and faith in divine revelation has coincided with that of intuitive judgment and investigation comprised largely of reasoning from analogy of experience of the real world. With such analogy the flow of a river becomes an example of the flow of a universe from a distant, unknown field cycles of biosphere growth become kalpas of a cyclical universe or recurrent strings floating on multi-dimensional space-time membranes.

The headwaters of the Nile were discovered by reports given to Stanley of glaciers on the African equator upon high mountains. A WMAP three degree background temperature survey portrayed the energy distribution of the Universe as it appeared about 300,000 years after T=0.

Speculations regarding the flow of the universe from a big bang or its inflation from a geometric singularity have arisen with increasing technical sophistication construction models based in scientific insights from experience.

Christians and Jews look toward the scientific procedures for cosmology with interest too. The manner in which God issued the Universe from His Word may perhaps be technically represented through physical cosmology. We do not expect science to create a comprehensive model of the beginning of the Universe beyond a certain point because the Universe is a contingent and limited temporal phenomenon-even science has limits to information acquisition theoretically such as is expressed in formula like Kurt Gödel’s incompleteness theorem.

The field of differential geometric analysis has developed mathematical constructions modeling forms and surfaces, minimal surface areas and shapes of topology and relations in curved space. Einstein’s general theory of relativity presented space-time itself as an integral four dimensional surface for gravitational phenomena. Yau’s mathematical work investigation what would be known as Calibi-Yau space built on investigations of the geometry of theoretical forms or constructions in multi-dimensional space. One wonders of the geometry of the Universe as a space-time field originating reasonably enough in a singularity.

Continuing philosophical inquires into the origin of the Universe from the issuance by the word of God we may review the neo-Platonic illustrations by the 2nd century philosopher Plotinus as well as a classical scientific cosmological avenue. The positive mass conjecture states that any isolated physical system must have positive mass or energy. That may seem post hoc obvious; negative energy or negative mass does not exist. A negative Universe could not exist, or could it?

Anti-matter is said to be a reverse mirror image of matter and its spin vector values. If matter is constructed of strings or loops-minor geometric shapes packed into power magnitude protocols at the beginning of the Universe we still would expect anti-matter to be reverse mirror image approximation pairs of mass string, loops or membranes. It is speculated that because of CP invariance at the beginning of the Universe a very slight preponderance of positive mass emerged from the initial issuance of matter and anti-matter simultaneously. Perhaps 99% of the original matter and anti-matter issued recombined destructively emitting the heat energy that today has cooled to being the 3 degree Kelvin background microwave temperature of the Universe. The positive mass of the Universe (it is considered by some as an isolated system) expanded its initial space-time singularity condition from t equals zero to a much larger size in a fraction of second. We wonder if the initial geometry of space-time as a minimal surface area singularity that was hypothetically a balanced neutral field of no space-time extent ever had a potential for negative energy?

From T=0 the singularity given an initial surplus of anti-matter over matter might have created a universe with a different spin vector value or a reverse mirror image yet basically the same as this existing universe perhaps. That universe might have been a convex expansion in the opposite direction than this universe if it is regarded as a bubble that expands. The concept of a concave universe expanding with negative energy from a singularity is more difficult to imagine-possibly that idea isn’t feasible at all, and just an anti-matter universe is possible.

A singularity at T=0 may be a matter of perspective. A singular compact point with all potential matter and anti-matter equally balanced originated somewhere, the question is where?

Filling out the dimensions, mass and energy of this Universe may comprise a limited temporal issue from an omnipotent, non-contingent field we may think of as God.

If the energy of an isolated system tend to reach its lowest level and perhaps remain there unless of course it might act upon space-time itself transforming the context of realty-then we have an additional reason to wonder about the singularity at the beginning of the space-time of the Universe; given an unknown yet we might stipulate an ample period of time wouldn’t it be more probable that a lowest possible energy state rather than that of a highest energy state existed at T=0?

The positive energy conjecture implies that the energy of the Universe is greater than zero without the potential to become less than zero. Physicists seem to regard the space-time of a Universe with energy in the negative realm as unstable. I am not at all certain of what is meant by unstable space-time. Perhaps it means that space-time could wrap up locally to form singularities, although it may be edit something besides black holes or wrapped up regions of space-time reduced to singularities occur within a regime of negative energy.

The initial boundary conditions of the Universe at T=0 on the positive matter based potential side and on an opposite negative-energy based side is difficult to contemplate within the criteria of a minimal surface area. One might regard the necessity that any singularity inevitably issue positive energy as improbable grace. It seems that energy that inevitably emerges preponderantly in the overall Universal system would be very providential.

A minimal surface area of a singularity boundary opposing negative and positive energy might be like the inside and outside of a bubble potentially able to expand equally in either direction. As has been postulated the minimal energy state of a negative universe might comprise the highest potential energy state of a positive energy singularity. It is commonly preferred that the perfectly balanced minimal surface area of a positive matter universe before inflation may coincide with the cycling lowest energy state and maximum expansion of a negative universe. That sort of theorizing may depend upon which of the two sorts of meaning of negative energy one prefers to use.

President Obama & Congress Rollover Decadence to the New Year

President Obama's idea of politics as the art of the possible represents the insipid fatalist acquiescence in the new American decadence dumping vast public debt and two badly thought out foreign military spending quagmires following the conclusion of the cold war and squandering of the 'peace dividend'.

The construction of an economic sow's ear from a silk purse by the U.S. Government from 1990 to 2011 required a lot of teamwork. Corrupt leadership, an ignorance of history, bad military and financial judgment, myopic greed-these were some of the characteristics instrumental in promoting nationally deletious politics flumping our policy outward on a global scale. In the spirit of the times the phrase par excellent is que sera sera (if that how it's spelt) boldly blundering on into 2011 ignoring the need for comprehensive refounding of basic infrastructure of the U.S. economy in order to make a transformation into an economy of low entropy, quality growth only with zero net immigration.

Another year of disposable resources, fifty thousand dollar SUVs, millions of immigrants, outsourcing of jobs and global corporate networks concentrating wealth in the United States along with real political power creates an existential threat to liberty in the U.S.A. In Alaska Sarah Palin's former Lt. Governor supports the kind of policies that would increase fossil fuel exports such as coal to China. A nominal white women pre-emption of progressivism (Palin) Presidency would likely be a puppet for global corporatism and bad world energy policy acellerating a prophecized new world order of secular mohammadanist rule of an anti-Christ from a synthetic temple mount-dome of the rock. Alaska as a foreign energy resource colony is a tool for global corporate whim.

We cannot afford to assume that multiculturalism can replace ecological reformation and quantitative rather than qualitative economic growth. Compelling U.S. domestic political development to follow global corporate personnel marketing strategies is a betrayal of the history, tradition and people of the United States that was founded on independence. All U.S. citizens ought to have equal rights and opportunities to a good life, and that goal is betrayed by globalism, degradation of the environment and decadent social and moral situation.

A Tea Bagger Congress steeping through the holiday season for some Americans brings the prospect of new energy and change that was lacking in the Pelosi led congress that eventually transformed into a Beijing lame-duck feast for billionaires and gays looking forward to high paying military service. The actual possibility of meaningful change has been set off until 2012 when the tax cut extension ramrodded through by President Obama expires.

The political transformation of the Congress and Presidency into a feel good about ourselves government and fiscal responsibility charged to foreign lenders is not too surprising. No less of a authority that Dave Barry in his 2000 political book 'Below the Beltway' produced convincing evidence that something funny has cohered in Presidents and presidential candidates for at least the past forty years. Since the era of photogenic presidencies the intellectual quality has certainly been in decline.

The U.S. Congress is hardly better than the surfeit of under qualified if not incompetent U.S. Presidents since Dwight David Eisenhower left office. The trouble with democracy as Aristotle pointed out is that the people are simply not competent enough or sufficiently interested in public affairs to make competent political selections therein opening the door for corrupting rule by special interests and in some instances, tyranny. We may find a tyranny of a proletariat or an elite populist front for plutocracy. President Obama turned out to be a front for Oprahcracy as his friend-one of the wealthiest American women and television star, deserved tax cuts along with all of the rich to tax rates so low that the concentration of wealth is dangerously accelerated. The trouble with congress is that there are few representatives with ecological economically apposite ideas. Without a core of congressional members with nationalist and low entropy ecological economic ideas the prospects for positive change are virtually nil.

The positive energy conjecture is a cosmological idea that any isolated physical system requires positive energy or mass to exist. The deficit spending, ecosystem depressing anti-national interest laws promulgated by the congress and signed off on by stuffed suit or skirt presidencies (or both in the post 'don't ask or tell' era) seems proof that negative energy can inflate a negative inside the beltway universe. The public cannot expect an intellectually incompetent and morally deficient congress (it's loyal to the rich and globalism) to innovate ecological economic policy responsive to the real environmental challenges of this generation or two or three.

One Wonders About Calibi-Yau Spatial Dimensions

'Decoding Reality: The Universe as Quantum Information' by Vlatko Vedral is an interesting read-even human D.N.A. has characteristics of a quantum computer it seems, yet information too may be a part of a deeper purpose to the Universe (teleology).

Reading Nadis and Yau's 'The Shape of Inner Space' one gets a sense of dimensions for-themselves, or at least their geometry. Reading that I got a few ideas though I haven't completed reading it. I would think that information or content of the Universe, its energy and dimensions would be integrated in The One initially and meta-structurally continuously though the slope described by the functions changes in time.

One must wonder if each dimension has its own time dimensions, if there is just one time dimensions or as many as space, and if the values of a time dimension are a differential of a function with a given spatial dimension? Could time dimensions be in different 'shapes'?

If these extra very small dimensions are wrapped up and finite factors of the existing dimensions there are innumerable ways to regard them. Perhaps the possible mathematical-geometrical configurations/shapes of dimensions existentially afford reception of mass-energy with sufficient force into as many dimensions as the initial mass-energy criterion profferred at a proximal beginning of a Universe(1) such as out own Universe of experience.

Rather than dimensions against independently as space-time it seems philosophically acceptable to integrate dimensions as existing things only as they are actually used by mass-energy. Alternatively if dimensions are fields that receive rather than are formed by mass-energy initially, one wonders about the field strength of any given dimension, or n-dimensions.

If dimensions vary in strength or charge that may affect the relationship of any given dimension to other dimensions and mass-energy within and without a given dimension. If dimensions change size-are they formed as multi-dimensional dimension fields, must they be integrated in a meta-dimensional field, will an initially endowment of energy of a dimension, or its anti-dimensional mate if they are produced in pairs or groups) be diluted as a dimension expands?

If dark energy or matter occurs within a given dimensional configuration expanding or being attracted along dimensional potentials, are these a vacuum energy 'static' energy of dimensional strings or membranes following some protocol of unwinding?

At what point did all dimensions not exist compacted to an initial singularity of The One? With Christmas time approaching Jesus Christ as the One issuing The Word to begin provides a reasonable place to contemplate the end of this comment.

American Produce Inspectors Flee Northern Mexico-Drug Violence Sends Up Tomato Prices

Drug related violence that has claimed 30,000 lives in Mexico the last four years has also driven American produce inspectors out of Northern Mexico. The article hyperlinked below notes that inspections are being done on the U.S. side of the border instead, and of course later in the process impeding the flow of cheap produce to U.S. salads.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/40772711/ns/business-us_business

The phenomena is a function of the poor U.S. Mexico policy that is in turn a function of bad economic management in the United States government. A morally acceptable policy would at least assure that Mexican produce exported to the United States is really surplus beyond what the people need for themselves. Perhaps nations engaging in International surplus trading of food should be required to tax shippers in order to direct a percent of food to actually undernourished peoples wherever they are.

Mohandas Gandhi wrote that "Nations are sustained neither by wealth nor by armies, but by righteousness alone. It is the duty of man to bear this truth in mind and practice altruism, which is the highest form of morality."

Economic policy has been a topic of research in the field of neuro-philosophy. The way people make decisions and how dopamine reinforces decision making at a pre-concious level has been the subject of substantial research. The mind subconsciously knows almost ten seconds before the conscious mind makes a decision in some instances, of what the decision will be.

Stephen Hall's book 'Wisdom' investigates several areas of research into the workings of the mind in moral judgements, decision making and so forth. Researchers have found that select areas of the brain-even the central and most primitive areas make decisions and reward accurate or positive decisions with a burst of dopamine. The pre-frontal cortex-a more recent evolution or addition to a human brain makes more abstract and complex judgments in some cases. The way emotion factors in to making moral judgments is also considered.

That of course is why the human process of decision making at a personal and social level differ in areas of the brain used for making a decision. Complex decision-especially complex social decisions are most hard to make-and we see the United States failing to make good political decisions quite commonly while the media rewards President Obama in his lame duck successes for reasons less intelligent than emotional. The failure of not only the Obama administration, but any administration to change U.s. economics to a low entropy, nationalistic criterion is a cobnsequence of the inherent difficulties in changing the foundation upon which econonmic decisions are made.

Economists and others build up a data base neurologically from which they make decisions. Conscious decisions are a tip of the data iceberg. economi sts have certain philosophical values that implicitly make an existential pursuit of personal satisfaction the highest good, and that of course is consistent with the more primative and emotional regions of the brain making decisions that concatenated produces a socially incompetant economic management phenomena.

Instead of managing society realistically U.S.economics is stuck in neo-classical individuated (even when corporations are regarded as individuals) pursuits of happiness. Value bases of economics esentially do not evolve nearly as quickly as social viability requires in respect of advancing general challenges ecologically, economically and nationally.

For many years we have known that a low entropy economic foundation and full employment are exceedingly desirabe social values that will make society happier if accomplished. We haave also been aware of the Mexican drug cartel plaza phenomenon of entire border cities being controlled by particular criminal organizations packaging illegal cargo for shipment north to the lucrative drug consuming U.S.A. Entire cities and social infrastructure are corrupted to facilitate concealment of drugs and I suppose guns in the other direction. it is said that 90% of Mexican drug exports to the U.S.A. pass right through border inspection stations. That northern Mexico is dangerous for Tomato inspectors is thus not very suprising.

The neuro-cognitive philosophical inspections of the brain, mind and social economics reveal that the basic American investment in change is quite minimal regarding progress toward and ecological economic policy with real border control and advance of social content.

A particular neo-classical economic outlook and the historical neuro-cognitive dopamine reinforced decision making and selection of values to be reinforced as 'good' negates the possibility of correcting the bi-lateral American-Mexican border issues in a rational way empirically. The series of free trade agreements the United States has entered in to do about nothing to direct a comparative trade advantage, low entropy economic security in each nation without the corrupting effects of migratory labor and ecological habitat destruction. In Alaska polar bear habitat is still attacked by the state government filing lawsuits to remove federal habita protections. The Obama administration circumstantially might negotiate pie slices of Arctic litoral none-development zone with Russia, Canada, Denmark and other nations to preserve the integrity of the Arctic and its wildlife in a coordinated way yet there again we find the basic neuro-cognitive philosophical decision making inertia rewarded by the dopamine of 'the big score', speaking of which, I could use that piece of lemon merangue pie myself. The challenge is to find it in a new and socially beneficial way.

Mexican migrant laborers range from Alaska to Florida, Chicago to the Carolinas and California even while Americans are out of work. To retake control of the border a new ecologically beneficial border control zone-perhaps a canal to desalinate siphoned up seawater and irrigation and recreational areas on both sides of the border could be made a primary construction stimulus project. No harm mass ecological reconstruction on both sides of the border to create permanent work should be a bilateral political goal with an upgrade in Mexican civil life and identification within a decriminalized social environment equally a target of American economic self-interest. The difficulties are in moving away from the existentialist economics of personal egoism that destructively influence U.S. economic management goals.

King Herod's Tomb Discovered in 2007-Subsequent Excavations Provide Confirmation

An interesting article in Biblical Archeology Review (BAR) describes why the late author (died in October 2010 after an archeology accident at the site) believes much evidence exists to support his conclusion that the tomb of King Herod the Great of Judah has been found in Israel.

Herod built a city 12 years after fleeing from a Haesmonian rival, Mattathias Antigonus, supported by Parthians. Herod fled toward Masada and battled with Antigonus at the site where he would build his city. Herod won the battle and was reappointed King of Judah by the Romans.

http://www.bib-arch.org/bar/article.asp?PubID=BSBA&Volume=37&Issue=1&ArticleID=7

King Herod remained ruler of Judah until the birth of Jesus Christ around the year 4 b.c. Fittingly he died about the time the true ruler of Israel was born.

Miller-Murkowski Senate Contest Reaches Alaska High Court/etc.

So close to Christmas I should have some secrets of the Magi sort of report to write; how the space shuttle is visible in the northern night sky this time of year doesn't make that cut, nor does the helpful information that public toilet seat liners work best if you tear off the 'tongue' portion and flip the solid part forwar before setting it down instead of letting the tongue droop into the water and fall in. The Alaska Senate campaign is slightly more interesting yet not much.

The daughter of the 'Godfather' of present state politics former U.S. Senator and Governor Frank Murkowski won the race by 12,000 votes as an independent after losing the Republican primary. She won with thousands of crossover female democratic votes and repaid them by voting to end 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell'. During the campaign she said that Joe Miller would leave Alaskan with nothing out in the cold. I remembered that last night when I broke my notebook computer sleeping in my ten at about zero degrees, broke with a foot of new snow. The rich have a way of being the poor and desrving themselves even with millions and millions-wicked souls.

Miller took his suit to the Supreme Court Friday and it will decide if the state should throw out 10,000 contested ballots on which the spelling of Lisa Murkowski was not precise. This is not a trivial issue.

If a write-in name is not exact and requires discretionaryy interpretation of voter intent to award the vote to a candidate, there are numerous possibilities for corruption too obvious to mention. One example is the echo candidacy made to allow discretion by partisan election officials.

Lisa Murkowski is running as a registered write in, so the anti-Lisa M party decides to run their own write in candidacy for Lisa B Murkowsky as opposed tothe Lisa P Murkowski allowing sympathetic interpreters to award votes to the Lisa B candidacy. We find the amazonn.com effect of near misses ambiguity made to pull in hits or votes for a popular candicay part of the modern world of alpha numeric selection and dislike anything besides exact matches on either web sites to counting votes.

If Joe Miller loses in the Alaska State Court he may take it to the U.S. Supreme Court where it may be right up there with hanging chads as a controversy that could stand clarification. In Alaska an establishment exists that kicks back jobs and opportunity to an insider elite subserviant to global corporate resource developers over local and also is a prime hog on the federal pork barrel also kicking back to favorite insiders leaving the rest out in the cold. I would not doubt that some cheating might have occurred to swing the election Murkowski's way. A federal judge has certified the election yet declared as well that should the courts decide in favor of Miller and the erroneous ballots are thrown out, a recount held and possibilities of fraudulent votes investigated such that Miller wins 2000 more votes and takes the Senate seat, the certification can be changed to Miller.

If anyone has any idea how to repair the video screen of a notebook computer that is not cracked but just totally dysfunctional after being rolled over by a hip in a sleeping bag-let me know. Also of use would be instructions on how to transfer data from the notebook to another computer if the screen is not visible to log on and so forth.

Nation's Unemployment Rate Is Of Secondary Importance to U.S. Politicians and Corporatists

Federal economic policy presently is to serve the corporate world and concentration of wealth. Both major political parties have signed off on tax cut extensions for the wealthy. Each party supports free trade agreements that allows global corporations to export their products here freely. The corporate world and its profits are of primary concern to the wealthy and for their sycophantic employees. Corporate relocates labor globally in contracts and sub-contractual relationships. Neither the federal government and nits Harvard elites nor the Corporate elites are much concerned about keeping full employment in the United States nor driving up the value of labor in the United States.

So the nation's unemployed are in effect 'Waiting for Godot' like Samuel Beckett's character's Vladimir and Estragon for jobs that just might not appear. There is a surplus of unskilled labor in the world today and nationalism is not on the Congressional agenda. Employers are still outsourcing and consolidating increasing productivity and profits but no employment. There are lots of Japanese and multi-national factories in Mexico near the border taking advantage of NAFTA. To really increase employment in the U.S.A. economic reform to support national interest would need to occur and that isn't likely soon.

The Mexican border allows millions of illegal cheap workers to undermine the value of unskilled labor in the U.S.A. and in the construction industry, and Americans are becoming corporate sycophants rather than supporters of Democracy. The Obama-Falin-Romney style candidates are just yes-persons for global corporatism. That is not good for the world environment, for the prospects of unskilled and unemployed Americans.or much else for those on the wrong side of the great corporate divide in the U.S.A.

Wouldn't a Larger, Cheaper Draft Military Be Better for Afghanistan?

Since the volunteer military has had to fight a protracted nation rebuilding war the price for getting people to serve has skyrocketed. Wouldn't a return to a traditional military draft in order to keep a larger number of much lower cost recruits in Afghanistan be a more effective way to subdue the Taliban and unemployment in the United States?

Some Alaskans and those stranded for the winter in Alaska descry military service and man's inhumanity to man (or woman) yet are aware that if in a kill zone the best response is to move full speed ahead. Maybe the best way to have peace and security in Afganistan is just to move full speed ahead with a draft and remove the Bernie Madhof era corporate contracting Defense Dept. budget issues the Cheney-Halliburton-Bush I & II people dumped as if flummery were for the benefit of the U.S.A..

Privates in the Army famously got paid little before the volunteer era, and even after the volunteer military became a fact the wages were fairly low before the 9-11. With national unemployment presently between 10 and 20% it makes little sense to pay $21,000 a year for a recuit to serve in that nice, high, central Asian nation with such a wonderful people and beautiful scenery and clean air.

Americans are people very concerned about civil rights and a few care not to destroy what remains of the precious planetary fluids unpolluted that sustain life. Perhaps given an opportunity to lace on the boots of freedom the nation's recruitment offices will be overflowing as they were during the Spanish American war if they know they are serving not for money but instead for the satisfaction of knowing they have brought human warmth and compassion to those beyond the corporate networks.

Military draftees could receive free job training and maybe 500 dollars a month iincluding combat pay for the adventure of a lifetime and the opportunity ito serve the oppressed people of central Asia. Regular Army cooking could replace the sky-high Halliburton style of contract haute cuisine and Americans could return to being Americans with a history of public service.

The volunteer military has become top-heavy with military contractors charging premium prices and getting no bang for the buck in some instances. Elite military units could continue to handle much of the difficult combat tasks, yet ordinary Americans could handle a vast range of commonplace in-the-foxhole drudge duty and enjoy the opportunity to fire all of the guns on full automatic cycle even if at targets. Ordinary Americans could also provide the more common touch with Afghan civilians perhaps lacking in the Star Wars troopers like volunteer military.

With a draft to fill the ranks and deploy perhaps a 150,000 more soldiers to Afghanistan their could also be a large increase in Peace Corps type volunteers to build up a better high-tech, low maint. cost economic infrastructure for Afghanistan. Plainly to be effective in restoring liberty to the people of Afghanistan a more affordable, sustainable presence to reinforce peaceful social development in required.

Senate Votes to End Don't Ask Don't Tell- President Obama Will Start 'Men Without Chests' Military Era

President Obama will sign the measure this week to end D.A.D.T.-the policy requiring homosexuals to keep their non-heterosexuality to themselves. The change in Republican votes may have involved some secret deals for supporting tax cuts for the rich by Democrats. The tax cut extension passed last week.

A noted historian James Van Creeveld classified such personnel composition transitions within the 'Men Without Chests' era in his book 'The Culture of War'. Such transitions historically are implicit within a socially decadent cycle of civilization. Same-sex socialization in the military coincides with both major political parties in agreement on tax cuts for the wealthy that allow 1-2% of the people to own 25% of the nation's wealth as that concentration continues.

Congress/Obama Jobs Policy for Working Class 2010-2012: Wait for Godot

President Obama ran a campaign of hope for jobs and economic recovery. After two years ten to twenty percent of Americans out of work are waiting for Godot like Samuel Beckett's characters Vladimir and Estragon.

Tax cuts for the rich at historically low rates, an unsecured Mexican border admitting millions of illegal workers, foreign terrorists and smuggled explosives are governors working against tightening up U.S. labor supply. The other maladroit labor influences are the general surplus of cheap unskilled workers globally and corporate global relocation of workers and goods to maximally increase profits for their shareholders. A Democracy should prioritize looking after its own national interests.

Unfortunately as the highest value of wealth is founded presently on a quantitative consumption principle of non-renewable resources it may be that Adam Smith's Capital theory actual works with an invisible brain of minimal I.Q. to produce the most stupid environmental policy possible besides the invisible hand to pickpocket world resources most efficiently from Democracy and responsible small scale free enterprise.

Capitulating with a sigh to the incessant rhythm of sweet Republican economic admonishments by Senator McConnel and President Obama lame duck Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi at last yielded on tax cuts for the millionaires and billionaires for another two years-effectively until at least 2021. Waiting for the economist Godot these last two years unemployed independent voters now sit like Otis Redding at the dock of the bay watching the economic cruise ship of the rich sail away.

Captain Aguirre and the crew of the good ship S.S. 'Wrath of God' have a rich and sumptuous menu of Adam Smith on opium hor d'ouvres to devour as they consolidate wealth and expand financial network controls with the U.S. Government deeply in their pocket.

Creating headlines year after year now with deeper federal debt anticipated to grow to more than 20 trillion dollars by 2015, writers that council the fundamental wrong direction of globalism instead of nationalism, of public debt instead of solvency, of a healthy environment instead of one in decay, of full employment and a stable population within secure borders free of illegal immigrant workers seem as out in the cold as Ronald Reagan's economist David Stockman. Lifting up their horns to gore common sense political economics is no problem for the rich that own the media as well as increasingly, everything else.
