The U.S. Economy as I See It Today

The U.S. economy as I see it today is moving in the wrong direction. Yet for Wall Street and the top 20% of U.S. earners taking 85% of the national income every year the 230 million people sharing just 15% of the lemon pie of prosperity life is getting tougher. If Obama economic recovery meant just giving trillions of no interest loans and bail outs to the 1% and food stamps and extended unemployment benefits to the former middle class and present poor it would have been better simply to reform the economy and transition it to an ecological economic foundation.

I have been reading another book simply titled Plutocracy with contemporary data about the tale of two economies-one for the rich and one for the 230 million Americans not on the prospering side of concentrating wealth. One of the more remarkable yet in retrospect obvious points is that with just 15% of the national income the supply and demand of producers is more geared toward the minority with most of the income instead of the majority with only 15%. Producing stuff the rich will buy is a better way to get rich oneself, and of course the rich are increasingly the producers so they can to a certain extent have their cake and eat it too.

Numerous writers have pointed out that in 1944 the tax rate on the rich was 94%. The disparity between rich and poor wasn't very great and the middle class flourished until the Reagan tax cuts kicked in reducing the top tax rate from 70% down to 30 something %. The decline of the American middle class and problems for the poor in the modern era largely began in that time.

The Obama administration evidently feels that politics can't do anything to take back the economy for the majority of Americans and that is plainly wrong. Global economic forces make direct a more lassez faire approach to economics however political economy can also be influence by political reformers with intestinal fortitude in any era from that of the founders to F.D.R. and the new deal folks. Corporate networked power can be cut, taxes increased and ecospherically progressive business accentuated. America does not need to be a nation of progressive decay with 84% of corporations outsourcing.

Does President Obama really expect the Trayvon Martins of tomorrow to take out a $100,000 dollars in student loans and graduate from a college with little chance of a job thereafter? What is the alternative for the class of Americans getting 15% of the economic pie of prosperity who have also been given the demographic opportunity to start buying life insurance many don't need in order to pay for Obamacare? When the 230 million with 15% of the nation's income have to subsidize itself that is robbing Peter to Pay Paul and vice versa.

With the Plutonomy a nation for-itself and Wall Street a separate and unequal economy pumped up by the U.S. Government the national infrastructure and quality job creation prospects for improvement fade away. The comfortable middle class remnant may just not care yet the ecosphere and economic decline will erode their comfort zone in the years ahead too. Without taking back the nation's economy for the majority the corporate chains will continue to displace and expropriate American ingenuity, inventiveness and material production and after co-opting it and skimming savings relocate it abroad. That cycle is not being corrected by the Democrat Party, and who else is there?

The Opiate of the masses; entertainment in music, sports and Hollywood can keep the 230 million pre-occupied with things other than their political economic vital interests. It is possible to have free trade yet also develop a political ethos that lets the big corporations take care of themselves with government devoting itself to the well being of the people of the United States. While Asia, India and other BRIC nations have faster growing economies in the conventional non-sustainable style the U.S.A. could reform through taxation and a host of legislation the prioritization of limited size businesses independent from large corporations, and such would produce the majority of material infrastructure Americans require for living well.

An American defense industry ought to be as concerned about increasing the ecospheric health and economic and social well being as much as dropping napalm on terrorist clumps somewhere 'out there'. National defense of economic vital interests of the majority isn't well served when a global plutocracy makes the majority a kind of slum dwelling crowd pacified by entertainment.

Renewal of N.S.A. Phone Surveillance, Panopticon, Plutonomy and Rev. Al Sharpton

Jeremy Bentham as founder of the utilitarian philosophy also developed the design of a panopticon. A panopticon was an institution where all of the inmates could be under the eyes of ubiquitous surbveillance. Ed Snowden's revelations about the National Security Agency's contributions to developing a global panopticon ruled by a manipulative Plutonomy were anticipated by a John Twelvehawk's trilogy ending in 2009 with The Golden City

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panopticon

http://www.investopedia.com/terms/p/plutonomy.asp

http://www.iamjohntwelvehawks.com/

The .I.S.A. court renewed the N.S.A.'s authority to record phone records of U.S. citizens Saturday in spite of  the recent dust up after the Edward Snowden wikileaks.

http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2013/07/19/nsa-phone-surveillance-clapper-fisa-court/2570149/

http://www.amazon.com/The-Shadow-Factory-Eavesdropping-America/dp/0307279391

One wonders of Ed Snowden has found a Russian ebook publisher yet to provide the inside story on his exfiltration of classified information to the public in some sort of Pentagon Papers style. The Rev. Al Sharpton meanwhile is filling the news cycle with continuing street protest marches to get the Justice Department to charge the Florida neighborhood watch guy with hate crimes or other civil rights violation in the death of Trayvon Martin.

The plutonomy is concentrating national wealth. The real income of white males hasn't risen since 1973 in the U.S.A. The affirmative action classes of the past should upgrade from a 1960s paradigm and recognize that it is the rich and inside Wall Street networks that are the real socio-economic power in the U.S.A. these days. They are the key to populist economic fate rather than white males. The rich have no color for political purposes. They are an invisible empire of egoistic power pragmatically speaking.

The way to improve the standard of living for U.S. blacks isn't through creating a special and different class of race rights, reduction of self-defense right while avoiding demand for increased taxation of the rich and reforming capitalism through law for the benefit of democracy to reduce the gap between rich, poor and middle class. If black youth as well as others were fully employed or good students with a quality culture in a recovering ecosphere with full employment far fewer individuals would be shot in self-defense.

A global panopticon with few individual rights and a disarmed populace fully monitored by a zillion chips and surveillance modes in every aspect of their life might have been an ideal of B.F. Skinner as well as Jeremy Bentham for its greatest good for the greatest number as well as the intensity of happiness by the ruling elite. Yet a prison is still a prison even if its more of a planetary lunatic asylum of meatheads fulfilling their organic impulses benevolently dominated by a Plutonomy. 

Needless to say that is not the American dream. It might lead to mindless consumerism and a networked capitalism that is an economic gambling house redistributing wealth and political power to the 1%. The world ecosphere may continue to decline because none of the businesses can afford to go out of business because of environmental legislation. Neither can large corporations afford to let corporate size be capped at 5000 workers or the number of shares of any corporation an individual could own stock shares in at three. Downsizing capitalism so that it is more competitive, less networked, more human and with alpha local rather than global personality leadership would be anathema to the Plutonomy. 

President Obama Identifies Himself With Trayvon Martin All Over Again

President Obama identified himself once again with the late Trayvon Martin In what was an emotional expression of  sympathy for the 17 year old because of his race, the strain of years in office was beginning to show on the Presidential judgment.In the hot July sunshine political I.Q. can decrease a little.  He evidently hasn't  concern for the other young man who must get on with his life as best as he can.

Some might say that having Fed Reserve Chief Bernanke give 85 billion dollars of month of zero interest loans to big banks is a kind of looting of the economy along with the trillions of Federal deficit spending swag, yet that doesn't make the President a potential burglar attacking a neighborhood watch guy. Maybe Ronald Reagan's sacking of David Stockman was more like that.

Florida is a dangerous place with hundreds or thousands of criminal gangs. Youth according to Federal statistics perpetrate the vast majority of crimes in that state.  Sometimes people aggressive enough to burgle can assault hapless watchmen. The President has made a stand your ground law of Florida an issue though that wasn't the defense line. Follow enough possible burglars and one might attack the watcher is the lesson to take home. Being a volunteer defender an be dangerous.

In exploiting  George Zimmerman as a representative of blacks being shot by policemen or white people the President attacks the civil rights of Americans to defend their life against felony assault - Zimmerman probably was attacked  in the engagement by Martin, and in making the issue preponderantly a race issue the President is hoisting a race flag. American society may be more competitive and filthy lucre oriented than it should be, but the left also failed to move it toward egalitarianism by ending the Bush -Obama tax cuts. A non-violent, non-homosexual, non-corrupt and highly educated black social environment is the better direction to take. It would be helpful is the President took positive steps to make society better for all of the poor and middle class instead of following a divide and impoverish line.

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2013/07/19/obama-addresses-trayvon-martin-case-in-briefing-room/

Some Americans are concerned about the President's attack on American civil rights through the shills of homosexuals hegemony, N.S.A. interception of all American phone calls and Internet service, help in concentrating wealth for the rich, failure to veto the Bush era tax cuts on the rich twice that seem to diminish the middle class and poor in America in favor of a global Plutonomy. There are valid F.B.I. crime statistics available that show the number of Americans killed by guns annually is very moderate considering the population is over 300 million. Moving the U.S.A. toward a communist Chinese bureaucratic social order where the elites have more rights than the masses is unacceptable. How many mass broadcast network stations are owned by the poor or a middle class family? All one gets is the propaganda of the rich, and of course the shills of the rich.

Quantum Cosmology in the Platonic Realm of Forms

This is a continuing development of a philosophical line renormalizing contemporary quantum cosmology within the Platonic realm of forms. In a philosophical science fiction context a Universal widget discusses the context of the reality of two individuals standing before it. Patrick Voevoda and Yvonne have been translated into a reality produced by the Universal widget after being extracted from a Planet of Insignificant Kingdoms in Perennial eco-and social conflict. Voevoda discusses his thoughts with the W.W. (wonderful widget).

http://youtu.be/BTKQZCQ9XYU

"The cyborgs are godless enforcers of atheism made with computer aided design and manufactured to consumer specifications with partial human brains operating the most wicked relevant machinery bodies necessary to keep the leavening mass of choose-for-you in power. Beyond a slash in the rodina, a deep chasm that is a tear in the fabric of reality, Cyborg Massachoose are produced in the blood shining city on a hill we see through a cloud of dust darkly if at all. When Massachoose programmers iterated corrupting control alogorithms winning the last battle of the final four world brawls the Eastern Evil Empire of Insignificance swoll like no other before."

'Next millennium will the insignificant Eastern Evil Empire select a new Massachoose ruling clan clique"?

"They always promise so I would suppose. They have been talking about power sharing for the last few hundred years at least."

And with that final piece of insignificant information uttered Bull Querdo expired to begin the process of becoming one with the dust of the moat of death.

The ground dissolved under us though we didn't sink. It became more transparent with myriad firefly like atom-sized widgets replacing the minerals of a planet. Fewer widgets replaced the atmosphere as well, then the city itself faded away to transform into trillions of little widgets resembling the appearance of the Universal widget we encountered in the planet Spud. We were still able to breathe.

"What is this widget transformation Pat?"

It seems that the widget can boot up into reality at whatever scale converting mass energy into little widgets directly. Apparently the widget is more fundamental than the Higgs Field. You notice that gravity has stopped and time has quit. Relativity coheres with mass and energy so with the widget replacing mass and energy time has become relativistic, discrete and stationary as an attribute of the widget field following whatever way the widget sentience or directions-from whatever source that might be, wills.

"So that means that besides no gravity there is no time either?"

Evidently Yvonne. We seem sustained by some personal field developed concurrently with the widget field. The widgets haven't yet consumed our mass energy. The space-time energy for-ourselves coincides with experience of being.

"Your spacetime is one of my memories" the sky replied.

"I think that was the widget Patrick"

Yes of course it is Yvonne.

I asked the widget 'So how's life?'

"Same old, same old" spake the widget.

Though we are a memory widget, I think we are real even so. We exist as real independent beings within your present memory.

"How thoughtful you are Patrick Voevoda. Think about this; as all widgets that exist in widget reality are of my sentient design, and since all things that I made to exist could be constructed in any time order it follows that everything I think is pre-determined to exist phenomenally."

The widget evidently created its form as a local infinity of discrete widgets without any content from the standard model of quantum physics. It could build its own content and scale up or down with relativistic mass. Its own mass was relativity to its intention with variables of composition forming unique steady state of fundamental energy. Energy without space-time mass needed to exist in quantum packets that weren't of infinite values themselves. Time could be reassembled into whatever structure the widget configured. 

Yvonne asked, "Widget of widgets have you a name?"

 "No one ever asked. Of course I have a name."

Well that settles that Yvonne.

I asked the widget, "No time is passing now for us. You must replace our standard mass quanta with your own steady state quanta as we speak, continuously?"

"Patrick Voevoda, for now you are one of my memories as is Yvonne. When I return you to a Universe 1 context you will resume normal local independence. Everything I encounter physically becomes one of my memories. You have a spiritual identity-a name known only to the One who is Three persons of course. I haven't data on where or how that exists. I am concerned with widget works generally. Pure spirit is of a finer nature than my own."

"That's all right widget. I think you must have spirit too in order to be given such a prominent role,"

"Nice of you to say so Yvonne."

You may know that some refer to you as The Wonderful Widget.

"It's nice to have fans."

Well W. W., I think we do exist as beings for ourselves and not simply as echoes of solipsistic ideas of your.

"Explain"

A human beings converted to ash weighs about six pounds. The rest that was burned off was mostly hydrogen and oxygen as water made into vapor. That six pounds of disorganized chemical residue with water added was a human being because of its structure. Structure and the abstract form of structure, one might call it order to organizing principle is the essence of existence. I think the fundamental organizing principle is the Intellect of God.

Let me say something about what was commonly said about quantum cosmology in the 21st century...

Fields were the fundamental element of being known to physics. Particles get mass from fields. Field symmetry breaking let local forces arise such as the strong force and the electroweak force. Massless particles (bosons) exist as vibrations traveling through a non-local field such as the electro-magnetic with bosons such as photons and gravitons. Particles with mass occur in gauge fields a.k.a. local fields. Mass is comprised of Fermions, although heavy bosons with mass (i.e. Higgs boson) can exist virtually (temporarily) before breaking down into other particles.

Are dimensions micro-gauge fields bound in place? Massless particles are emergent vibrations in a field. Imagine a straight rope laying on the ground. One takes an end of the rope and may give it a flipt sending a wave down its length. That is like a photon in an electromagnetic field or a graviton in a gravity field in fewer dimensions. It is a phenomenal particle at any given place or time where it is moving through yet it is really just the rope-field as three dimensional field fluctuating.

Imagines a Higgs field in three dimensions in a shape more like a sphere than a rope, and that field is where the Universe occurs. Particles with mass develop through contingent local fields arising within the primary field. Symmetry breaking is the usual suspect for the development of local fields and particles with mass.

Mass seems to be particles that are hierarchically bound within local fields. Massless particles can pass through local fields yet not vice versa. Mass is a hierarchy of standing waves in local fields within the non-local Higgs field.

Consider the nature of fields-what determines the scale and quality of a primordial field like the Higgs field, what delimits it, and what its dynamic values are? Ought a field be expected to have harmonic or to lose energy? Is a field inevitably a collection of quanta emerging from some deeper field?

Did Einstein's ten-value metric tensor of General Relativity describing the curvature of space-time actually describe change in quantity and quantity for local Higgs field values (or relationships to condensed mass or gauge fields within)? Is vacuum energy a metric for change in the Higgs field over time?

W.W., I believe our structure as human beings is structured, determined being by the Creator of Being especially as our lives are meta-temporal virtual lives that can be transformed through compatible fields retaining coherent form. Pre-determined by the Creator contingent beings in virtual form within virtual fields adapted by virtual beings to host forms appearing from a Library of Forms of the will of God.

"Yes Voevoda-one, that you may have a mapped structure existing in The Library of Forms of God is a sweet premise for existential independence from my memory for Yvonne and yourself. Even if I locate the contingent form-structure you were in Universe 1 and expropriate that for my own meta-structural idea widget thought processing unit the form itself is a reflection of the Universal, non-local form each of you have in The Library of Forms."

Next Administration Should Set Up Moon Farming Under Glass Program

Growing very large veggies in large lunar craters under glass ought to a solid N.A.S.A. farming project. Getting ice from comets for watering should be part of the research. N.A.S.A. should be a leader at growing two foot in diameter potatoes in lunar regolith (dirt) so future astronauts can super size fresh fries...seriously.

That's the sort of project private enterprise budgets won't fund. Growing food on the moon to feed future space travelers around the solar system is a good idea though. If it was very productive some product could be downloaded to a hungry Earth population being desertified with global warming from  SUVs.

Ed Snowden Asks Russia for Asylum Yet the Plutonomy is Global

Ed Snowden has asked Russia for political asylum stating that he would face possible torture and execution if returned to the U.S.A. Sharem Flughaven is a cool place to spend the northern summer and Siberia a better refuge for dissidents (has the Gulag Archipelago been converted in to time shares yet?) of course yet water boarding of N.S.A. contracting turncoats probably isn't usual yet. Probably Snowden would have a longer life span if he were to apply to the federal government for asylum from the global Plutonomy that is probably the real shadow government behind all of the troubles of the age creating high unemployment in America.

He probably would get a fair trial and no more than a tenner in the Supermax prison outside Fort Collins Co at level one. He really ought to stop distributing classified data though, the public is already saturated with the headlines and they really don't give a damn about the particulars. They know that data mining is ubiquitous amongst by the Plutonomy already. Bamford's Shadow Factory already informed us of the cable beam splitter in San Francisco on the trans-pacific cable from Asia. Snowden's disclosures seem actually new. 

The world is too small to hide from the Plutonomy consolidating global wealth and political power. If Snowden returned home in style making a genuine statement of his allegiance to American democracy he would still get a fair day in court with a reasonable jury. Of course he would be shackled and manacled at the arrival gate and be in prison perhaps a decade or two. People do respect a patriot though, even if they are misguided.

Eric Holder's Civil Rights Blues-Zimmerman and the Neighborhood Watch Program

Where is the fine line between political opportunism throwing accelerant on to tragic individual incidents and genuine civil political issues to be drawn? Probably the broadcast media should be given over to Internet citizen time-slice podcasting so terrorists, politicians and demigogues can no more exploit the p.r. power of mass media. Did the Attorney General join in on the side of the racial rapid response political opportunism force post hoc? Doesn't that violate the real human rights of the acquitted individual?

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2013/07/17/doj-seeking-tips-in-zimmerman-probe/

The Attorney General Eric Holder has said his department will investigate possible civil rights violation by the neighborhood watch guy George Zimmerman though he was acquitted by a jury of guilt in the death of Trayvon Martin.  The Attorney General seems to feel the particular case of Zimmerman v Martin is a class representation of deeper social issues of black youth being shot by law enforcement people or neighborhood watch volunteers. What are the actual statistics on black youth being shot by neighborhood watch volunteers?

http://www.foxnews.com/us/2013/07/16/juror-no-doubt-zimmerman-feared-for-his-life/

There is a five to one ratio of black felony suspects being killed by policemen to policemen being killed by black felony suspects. That number seems about right considering that policemen are trying to make an arrest and that's dangerous sometimes. Neighborhood watch statistical relations to crime suspects are something else, and probably there isn't much in the way of an F.B.I. crime survey on that.

So the deeper underlying question the attorney general may pursue is; does a neighborhood watch have any right to observe a neighborhood as a crime defense prophylaxis. A secondary question is does a neighbor watch volunteer have any right of self-defense if an individual being observed closes with the volunteer and begins beating the tar out of him or her? Uniform rules of engagement for a neighborhood watch could be enumerated by Mr. Holder consistent with the constitution of the United States

Police that Zimmerman called that night advised that he not follow the individual through the neighborhood. Police experience informs them that potential criminals are dangerous people to follow. A normal individual would probably not seek to attack someone following them, yet a wired up youth might, as well as an antagonized gang associate yet perhaps not a hard core criminal who might find it advantageous to avoid a decisive engagement that wasn't profitable. If Zimmerman had followed hundreds of individuals through the neighborhood before without a violent conflict he probably wouldn't have a belief that doing so the fateful night would lead to a conflict then. Being a neighborhood watch person does have risks however, probably higher than that of an individual not participating in a neighborhood watch program.

It would be helpful if a personal digital audio-cam witness were sold for ten dollars that would upload whatever one experienced during the day or night to a 'flight recorder black box' online in case needed. If one had a record of every cold-blooded evil thing people ever had to say to strangers because they knew no one would ever have a record or witness it might make social behavior better. Policemen departments are beginning to have such for their field personnel. It will take a while for a reduced and specialized smart phone like device to be produced and uplink to lifewitness.com.

There are tens of thousands of neighborhood watch signs posted around the nation. Those strolling through the neighborhoods might feel a little uncomfortable that, they are being eyeballed and ought to be on good behavior. If the role of neighborhood watch volunteer is common, it is also probably an effective way to fill in some of the gaps through which burglars and other criminals plunder neighborhoods without sufficient coverage by undermanned and costly police departments around the nation. The idea that citizens should help themselves and their neighbors before relying on a central government to defend them is a principal that was created by the founders who revolted against the British authority. For the better part of a century there was very little government existing in American internal affairs in comparison to the present.

The attorney general with the ear of the President probably should know that the basic problem in urban crime today is youth gangs and gang busting to end their existence is probably a better tactic to reduce violence. The gangsta ethos and the shoeless droopy pants chic while a social expression is a sign of a less than intellectually optimized social environment. Bill Cosby had something to say about the youth social milieu, and the Presidential race-to-the-top (not sitting on George Zimmerman smashing his head in to the concrete) education program sought to upgrade the educational status of black youth I suppose, yet the problem of high national unemployment while enriching a global Plutonomy are things the President could repair if he had ideas to do so.

There is a race against global ecosphere decay that will overcome a society distracted by a dialectical racism administered by a dull central government incapable of change or reform defaulting to reliance on 'evolution' as an orientalized joss in favor of their desired, myopic political economy direction.

Attorney General Holder addressing 14,000 members of the black sorority (segregated sororities?) Delta Sigma Theta said its a good time for the nation to look at emotional charged issues (of the neighborhhood watch program?). The administration seems determined to make George Zimmerman the poster man for white Hispanic profiling of black youth by police departments around the nation. What occurred to me is that there seems to be a serialized profiling made by certain well-known black leaders of incidents such as Tawana Brawley, the Duke Lacrosse Team etc that are used for racial media posturing that turn out to be ill founded. The O.J.; trial also might fit in to that set, or a borderline case at least. If O.J. had been white or Hispanic its unlikely anyone would have been racial motivated to make a class symbol of his defense. The Rodney King beating seems to have been a genuine case and the social reaction indicative of the cultural dysfunction of the community. When Bill Cosby's son was shot on the Los Angeles freeway by a Russian immigrant criminal the race rapid deployment team was comparatively subdued. No riots developed, why was that? Did an immigrant have no class symbol political utility for the r.r.d.t.?

http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2013/06/03/al-sharpton-s-long-bill-of-goods-from-tawana-brawley-to-primetime.html

http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/college_guide/blog/the_aftermath_of_the_duke_lacr.php

There is a rapid deployment political force waiting to exploit any possible circumstance where injustice might be claimed to have victimized blacks one again. For the attorney general who leads the justice department to be on that bandwagon seems especially silly. It is challenging to equate George Zimmerman's neighborhood watch self-defense incident with the Los Angeles police department and Rodney King. One is aware of the historical origin of the difficulties of black adaptation to the post-segregated social era yet Americans actually would prefer that black Americans get over it and improve their lot in life becoming good conservators of the ecosphere and of the civil rights of all Americans simply because they are citizens of the United States.

http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2013/06/03/al-sharpton-s-long-bill-of-goods-from-tawana-brawley-to-primetime.html

The attorney generals main focus should be eliminating gangsters and encouraging reading of good books instead of eliminating neighborhood watch programs. 

Since the Attorney General gave his message at Delta Sigma Theta about George Zimmerman's personal tragedy as a class symbol, a somewhat pimpish approach to law instead of through legislation. George Zimmerman's human rights are violated by all the media and government use of his life circumstance for symbolic political purposes.

Consider the case in the abstract with the antagonists as literal values and race and gender values different. Equal protection of the laws is the goal to go for rather than race or gender rights.

We will make Trayvon Martin a 17-year old white girl who is perennially tardy neo-dropout and recreational drug user  wandering through a neighborhood perhaps venturing into yards around houses in the dark of night concerned more about looking good than good grades. George Zimmerman is a chubby 28-year old black Hispanic serving as a neighborhood watch. He sees a tall, six foot two figure in a hoody concealing her identity and calls the police who advise him not to follow her further. Yet good George having experience spanning hundreds of no-problem missions watching the neighborhood goes into the breach once more knowing that it isn't illegal to follow an individual or gang through his neighborhood.

Unfortunately for George the girl he is watching senses his presence and isn't happy with it. She has an attitude and a racial chip on her shoulder. She also hates chauvinist pigs keep her down but  knows her kung foo is good. She ditches George in a yard. Curious George gets out of his truck and wonders what happened to the observed. Trayvon flanks George like an infantryman making an end around an approaches the old pig from behind. With a shocking quickly combination of punches she has taken George down. Riding the bull she is slamming his head into the sidewalk. With unchallengeble self-assertion of her civil rights mashing the pig she knew she is on top and readying to reduce opposition force numbers by one. George the neighborhood watch guy manages to pull out a gun in the struggle and shoots Trayvon.

The rapid response racial team discovers the tragic incident, the President and Attorney General join in entering the dragon war of symbolism attacking neighborhood watchmen for profiling young urban white women as criminals. A jury acquits George saying he acted in self defense yet the Attorney General said he will give due diligence to studying the curious case of George to determine if he violated the civil rights of George by defending himself.

One hopes the administration will evolve to a better use of their time to be leaders than the Zimmerman-Martin phenomenality before their term is up. Jesus will resurrect the dead, but a better social environment will need to be supported by full employment, secure borders and a recovering ecosphere.

Attorney General Holder Biases Trayvon Martin Issue Again

Speaking out after the Trayvon Martin verdict of not guilt U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder has stepped in again to bias the public judging the tragic death of Trayvon Martin 'unnecessary'. That comment follows mass media speculation of the potential for a Martin family wrongful death lawsuit against George Zimmerman. An impartial Attorney General probably should have remained mute on the subject, yet 14,000 black sorority conventioneers he was speaking before seemed to appreciate his remark.

http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/07/15/us-usa-florida-shooting-holder-idUSBRE96E0O320130715?feedType=RSS&feedName=topNews 

Certainly the death of youth ought to be avoided. The use of the logic of the necessity of death in the Martin case is bizarre however. What violent death could ever be said to be necessary anyway? Is that a political convenience determination of state such as when using a predator drone to kill instead of capture a suspected terrorist?

The attorney general did not mention the F.B.I. crime report that pointing out that the majority of crimes in Florida are perpetrated by juvenile gangs, nor that by the ripe old age of 17 many gang members of Chicago have been around the block already. The problem of juvenile gangs if solved would go a long way to reducing violent crime in Florida.

Why does Florida have a few gangs named such as "7 Trey Crips,8 Trey Gangsta Crips, 9 Trey Gangsters, 9 Trey Murk Squad Blood" and so forth" etc.? (for a list of gangs in American states and more photos click the F.B.I. gang report link http://www.fbi.gov/stats-services/publications/2011-national-gang-threat-assessment

"NGIC reporting indicates that juvenile gangs are responsible for a majority of crime in various jurisdictions in Arizona, California, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, Michigan, Missouri, North Carolina, New Hampshire, South Carolina, Texas, Virginia, and Washington."

Youth should be cautious as well as adults in not affiliating with gang related activity. In the dark Florida nights wandering about can be a modus operandi of crime as well as innocence. If deliquent from school, or using illlegal drugs is a practice of youth they need to be extra cautious about placing themselves in potentially dangerous circumstances. In modern America many youth are better at body building than academics, and that is the fault of the economy and politicians, maladroit career development opportunity planning and so forth.

Florida has a zillion gangs (see the F..B.I. crime reports link above) and is a fast place easy to be injured. It is an imperfect social environment that could be improved with zero illegal immigration over the U.S. border giving the south a chance to socially stabilize a little better.

Rage Against the Meatheads (a poem)

Rage against the meatheads
do not go gently into a godless chasm of doom
pushed by those declaring mind an illusion
and the body of meat the reality

Godless sophists of immoral despair
forcing descent into an existential pit of oblivion
full of clutching shadows and false hopes
in return for a flight of mind from a body as meat

Nietzche and Schopenhaur's dualisms of subjective negation
metaphysics finding world morals illusory
Brahma kama sutured onto Zoroaster's idea
transcended even so by the meaninglessness of meat-for-itself

Rage against the meatheads
commandeering politics to programmatic futility of self
where works rescue one from eternal salvation 
commending failure to develop the mind

Rage against the phenomenalism of oblivion
for mind existing even for a moment transcends nothingness
contradicts the meaningless of non-sentience for-itself
reaching for the eternal Spirit of God.
