(Gov.) Parnell's Effort to Break Up Alaska's Public Education Monopoly

Alaska’s public education is in a race to the bottom along with that of the rest of the U.S.A. Recent news reports show that China and Asia student achievement is three grades above that of their Alaska and American age peers. Children of Chinese street sweepers score higher than America’s most privileged. This is a logical result of monopolistic education with that of the most spoilt nation faring worse.

If American public education is going to the dogs because of monopoly in a spoilt cultural milieu indoctrinating youth with the political correctness of the day instead of allowing diversity of quality education with school vouchers the consequences are well deserved. America was built up with entrepreneurial and revolutionary innovators rather than kow-towing followers. National Socialism in Hitler’s Germany was a sick substitute for the defunct royal class across Europe. Jews were blamed for being democratic revolutionaries (somewhat rightly) and perceived as reinforcing the rise of democracy over the natural superiority of the rigorous moral and ethical values of the best. Americans too naturally descend into a natural socialism with elites concentrating wealth and authoritarian government and corporate educational venues indoctrinating the intellectually weak. School vouchers for private educational diversity is perhaps the best available way to break up the disastrous drift toward the class indoctrination of thugocrats working for idiotic, deluded elites.

Governor Parnell’s effort to introduce diversity and competition into Alaska’s public education race to the bottom of world achievement standings is a good idea worth support. 

Voodoo Justice in Michael Dunn Trial Again?

In the Internet age with lots of free cloud storage and dirt cheap web cams why aren't new cars and retrofits given exterior audio-video surveillance normally that record the area around an automobile for potential use in court trials? The Michael Dunn case seems like voodoo justice with a prosecutor making inferences and guesses about what might have been heard, what emotions may or may not have been stimulated and what evidence such as a shotgun may or may not have existed. That seems a kind of shoddy cargo-cult approach to legal justice especially regarding the important issue of the freedom of a potentially innocent citizen.

It would be easy for new car manufacturers to install such surveillance equipment that could be turned on or off with a verbal command from the driver. Information could be automatically uploaded to the cloud for storage-perhaps 24 hours of data recycling as in store surveillance cameras.

There are many gangs in Florida and automobiles are a second home for Americans. Hostile witnesses in numbers can have their way in voodoo court settings-voodoo that is if a reliable technological record of what occurred is available. That is the way to go in order to avoid innumerable legal justice conundrums ahead. One could become a millionaire installing such systems for a few easy payments of $19.95. I wish I had production connections in China sometimes.

A Good Brief Biographical Video on the late Bobby Fischer

Bobby Fischer may have been the best chess player of all time. His I.Q. was 180 and after winning the world chess title in 1972 he rather lost a rational reason to exist. The withdrawal from chess and steady decline of his life experience is presented fairly well here. An alternative theory is that Fischer is the archetype before/after instance of the effect of mind-altering drugs. The personality change is stark-ditch the suit and the haircut.

Travelling to California after the victory may have made a Fischer a target for the left who spiked a drink perhaps, although the K.G.B. or others that didn't like the Sunday-best rational Fischer in the Watergate and withdrawal from Vietnam year may have thought he was another Kissinger and the personification of everything evil about America. Fischer with his mind on vacation abandoned the world chess title and learned to hate everything about the nation of leftists that denied his rational, methodical undrugged approach to life. I think the left never trusted Fischer though he wore everything except a drug rug to seem mellow.

Yet another theory is that Fischer with a load of cash got hooked on watching Gilligan's island reruns and only choose to play Spaskii again in order to afford to watch reruns of Miami Vice.

Bloggers Ought to Be Free of Police & Mob Intimidation

Internet blogging is a pure vehicle for free expression; a necessary element for competition of ideas. In many nations known as banana republics, authoritarian, narco-states, corporatist, oligarchic, monarchical etc free internet blogging is not permitted without retribution. Mob rule by those not well endowed intellectually requires mob and/or police repression of free speech, free thought and uncoerced Internet blogging. Often the broadcast media is an accessory in trimming individuals expressing antipathetic to corrupt establishment or start-up mobs.

http://cpj.org/reports/2009/04/10-worst-countries-to-be-a-blogger.php

Internet blogging is less than two decades old. In world political history that’s something like the wink of an eye. Many bloggers with an excess of brevity in their wit have found Facebook to be their corporate controlled political weapon of choice yet where else can the world’s writers and political activist yearning to write free without follow up trim by police and mob thugs or terrorists with a microphone owned by the rich or a communist party place their work without fear of it being censored to deleted?

Democracy is in effect the better political form for the competition of ideas. In the marketplace of ideas publicly spirited citizens can read and select the best ideas for infrastructure development-not just the least objectionable slop foisted by a corrupt ruling class such as start the U.S. economy with fossil fuel energy development (boom and bust, globalism, greenhouse gassing, ancient technology, foreign advantage in auto production etc).

Though many nations from Red neo-Corporatist China to North Korea, Venezuela, Iran, and in some ways the U.S.A. (corporations have fine print in their blog sites that let them delete accounts for objectionable to them language without notice) are not completely tolerant of free expression for bloggers it seems like some nation ought to be. A nation that guaranteed blogging Internet posts with cloud storage forever and free would not only get a copy of all of the best ideas posted on Earth (and from the space nation and elsewhere eventually) it would support the liberation of the global body politic from the snares of mobocracy, erosion of their national sovereignty where democracy by and for the people exists or may develop and be a generally respectable item. Even the largest Internet corporations are corporations subject to numerous forms of political and economic leverage. Internet posts simply aren’t secure if posted solely at those sites, and in some Muslim nations one’s liberty may be in jeopardy for posting dissentient ideas.

Desalinating Border Security Canal for Drought Relief

A border security canal for drought relief is a new reason to start shovel ready jobs on an old idea; using siphons and solar powered pumps to bring water in a pipeline to the continental divide around Deming New Mexico and let it run downhill to the Gulf Coast and back to the Pacific in a partially covered canal. The canal would let water evaporate and be condensed under glass or plastic along part of the distance creating a lot of fresh water for irrigation, drinking and so forth. The trouble is the Democrat Party is the existentialist party of drugs and homosexuality concentrating wealth They have downsized interest in work. Life is a soap opera-they want positions.

Creating shovel ready jobs with actual shovels and heavy equipment to build a green border control zone along the Mexican border ought to be better than a fence and should unite Republicans and Democrats in a project that would actually get something done about the long-term drought problem in the Southwest and illegal border crossing from Mexico. The trouble is that the globalist congresspersons are more concerned about the rights of millionaire-billionaire homosexuals than the economic interests of all of the people of the U.S.A.

The only fair way to assure that one isn’t being discriminated against is the annual income-that doesn’t lie and is objective while concerns such as those of the Miami Dolphins and harassment are about millionaires rather than the poor or middle class. The Democrat Party forgot economic facts -who is keeping the rich tethered and tensioned keeping the rich from becoming global royalty these decades? Democrats seemingly don’t want the U.S.A. to be a prosperous healthy nation with full employment and a green accent. Instead the electorate is supposed to conform to an ethics of entertainment tonight.

The Aesthetics of Winter Camping (video)

Extended unemployment must be good for something. At least the aesthetic values of camping in Alaska are interesting. Beats riding a bike across the Gulf Coast in August-117 degrees at Tyler Texas via Shreveport! It would be better if the Obama administration had a clue about creating work in the U.S.A. through reform of capitalism though. I suggested several years ago that the government triage unemployment time and give the most tax credits for hiring those unemployed longest. The President forgot that incentive in trying to get corporations to hire the unemployed. The Democrat Party seems deficient in practical economic reasoning these decades.

Are Galactic Lensing and Expanding Space-time Caused by Quantum Effects?

Light from distant space-time quasars is warped passing select galaxies and made visible as if passing through a lens or traveling around the galaxy because of warped space-time. The expansion of space that was slowing down yet eventually changed to begin accelerating about 5 billion years ago may have a similar cause.  At image credit N.A.S.A. least one would believe they might because each involves space as an actual substance of some sort or at least the existence of mass and energy in volume called space behave somewhat as if space had it's own nature. 

It seems reasonable to speculate that quantum entanglement in mass quantities may be able to slow photons a little and create an apparent space drag around galaxies. Alternatively quantum effects of large bodies of mass boost photons a little as they encounter concentrated fields of mass and ricochet energized.

 I wonder if the acceleration of space-time in the Universe has a related causality to that of galactic lensing. Spacetime phenomena present quite a few puzzles to consider.

Global Warming Shortens Alaska Dog Races/Seasonal Supremacy

Alaskan dog races are something of a colonial era anachronism of the days when supremacists ruled the waves. Dominating slave-dog’s pulling white men across vast distances of socially separate regions without encounters with slums and people unlike themselves there are many fans. Beside our objective perspective on the exploitation of animals for the sport of prosperous if not rich by worldly standards men (and a few women) how on others view the game?

Interview with an Alien

Question; what do you think of the Yukon Quest and Iditarod races?

Alien; that was a race? I was minding my own business observing a dog team in the cool minus 40 degree arctic night moving along the Yukon River on a drug smuggling training course that stopped now and then to excavate a cache of chemicals in a package from hidden in the river ice. The dog punisher used a g.p.s. tool to locate packets of illegal drugs to smuggle to consumers downstream. With 70 million Americans using illegal drugs and a lot of demand on the North Slope safe smuggling routes are being explored. So an executive action led me to cut out the heart of the driver, feed it to his dogs and liberate the oppressed dogs to run free returning to the call of the wild.

Answer; Yes that was a race contestant. I suppose it’s possible that someone supplements their sky- high annual earnings to keep an apartheid style way of life with a better Cadillac pick-up truck with off-road drug transporting, yet that’s no excuse for breaking the laws of the Yukon Territory or Alaska stalking anyone.

Alien-You must be from New York.

-End of Interview

If we don’t find too much in such an interview to inform us of public opinion about the Yukon Quest and Iditarod dog races at least it is known that the Yukon Quest finish line was moved outside Whitehorse this year some 30 miles because of thin ice on the river and that the Iditarod-the late spring race may move it’s starting line 360 miles north to Fairbanks in order to find some snow. Global warming is taking a toll on the race even more than the change of diet for many of the dogs.

While people were starving in Africa dog drivers used to feed their dog’s King salmon from the rivers before the runs largely collapsed. Now some of the slave teams are reduced to eating garbage from restaurant plates collected in buckets, run through a dishwasher and fed by the bucket load to the down-trodden beasts of burden.
