Next Repub Presidential Candidate Will Need to Be Environmentalist

If a Republican Presidential candidate wants to get elected next time, he or she will need to be an environmentalist in fact as well as symbol. Ecological tokenism won't pass the scrutiny of the leftist media, and if Democrats run something besides Hillary Clinton, whom even pat Paulsen would have beaten, Republicans won't stand a chance without being of the religious right, environmental left, conservative nationalist-populist and making nice with foreign governments on space colonization ventures.

A future Republican Presidential candidate that hopes to overcome the automatic reaction against conservatives by dopers, abortionists. homosexuals, haters of taxes, haters of U.S. history and feminists must take the ecosphere vote cleanly away from Democrats with real leadership, innovation and creativity. It is doubtful Republicans have that sort of individual who is also good at business, bringing health care to all the poor for free, eliminating the Federal debt and creating security and a good standard of living for all citizens.

Concerning President Trump; a President whom I think is doing o.k., on the environment. I suspect that some of his cuts may be more about saving government expenses on extra committees and studies than being against a good healthy environment.

Perhaps President Trump believes that Americans may repair and forestall environmental damage more without just expecting the federal government to do something about it. Perhaps he expects Americans should do something about it themselves; and that is not impossible.

Americans are preponderantly ecological idiots or at least indiffferent. They are more of a litigious than a philosophical people. Business people and ordinary people have a paradigm of just running things on if it isn't illegal. Lawsuits are better for many than any sort of ecospheric voluntarism. WIth that paradigm as the rule, where obeying the rules is sufficient, one would need to force everyone by rule of law to comply with the new paradigm, and then they would not want political leaders that force that. 

If the environment were to be restored through social effort it would require radical paradigm changes within the free enterprise system. It would be necessary to reduce the npower of corporations globally that act to surpass iindividual concatenations of political activity and ideas. Corporate globalism and scale just dwarfs any body politic even of states in the United States. What is best for short term corporate profit becomes the determining criteria for national poltics leading to ecological doom of course.

There are a number of ways that business theorists may avoid repairing the ecosphere through reform of capitalism that would make capitalism a fabric of smaller corporations that are screened for low-entropy and high-efficiency economic activity. Theorists have suggested the natural world is superfluous and might better be reduced with the nightmare of a mechanical world.

Human life is and will remain biological so long as it is human. Human beings occur within an extremely sophisticated evolving biological progression of God that requires the suppport of a healthy ecosphere with all of life that natural apeared through God's design. That design should be carried over to the moon and other worlds rather than eliminated because social design is too stupid to keep it alive and won't admit it.

WIll Microbots Decimate Human Population Like Weeds Someday?

In looking into the knapweed root weevil issue it occurred to me that the future micro-robots well used in so many movies including GI Joe 2, could be used to attack humanity generally as if they were a weed infestation that needed control.

http://www.garycgibson.us/2017/08/knapweed-root-weevil-are-they-harmful.html

While Elon Musk and others have warned about artificial intelligence and robots with a license to kill (the 007 robot), and others have pointed out the problems of nano-machines that could be sewed in water and air vectors to infect humans and kill them from the inside out, tiny robots the size of bugs could also be designed to attack more cleverly than ticks and kill a human with a variety; a veritable cornucopia, of tools from poison, drilling into a heart or brain etc.

http://news.sky.com/story/elon-musk-joins-100-tech-chiefs-warning-un-that-killer-robots-could-be-third-revolution-of-warfare-10998721

Probably there should be some sort of government intelligence office specifically tasked with keeping track of robotic and other unconventional vectors that are potentially very harmful to human existence.

 One may readily imagine micro-bots able to target and attack particular forms of human beings rather than all indiscriminately. One day mind-reading robots or at least those able to read bar codes or implants identifying political party membership for instance as a kill-worthy target may arrive. There will be lesser evils of course, that fall short of mortal interaction of machines of all sizes with human life forms. Soon chipping with temporary implants foreign visitors to the United States or at least from nations with a high content of terrorists, in order to track them around the U.S.A. with rft scanners that are already ubiquitous. Practical defense issues will once again impact the wall of protections given unto U.S. citizens

Knapweed Root Weevils- Are they Harmful to Domestic Animals?

Knapweed is a Eurasian plant introduced to America circa 1893. Knapweed root weevils are a bug that voraciously eats knapweed. Bugs have been imported that are the natural enemies of the plant, They eat it. Government people like the bug's ability to destroy as much as 99% of a knapweed infestation. One wonders though if the bugs are safe for domestic animals they bite? if knapweed weevils do harm animals as well as knapweeds, would the government admit it?

It is difficult getting a strait answer from government sometimes. If a knapweed root weevil bites the nose of a dog and hangs on could its eggs grow in the dog's nose? If knapweed larvae grow in dog food could they harm the dog if the food is consumed? if knapweed weevils do harm animals as well as knapweeds, would the government admit it?

Incidentally the weevils are collected and sold by some for their prowess at decimating knapweed.

Was an Interesting Eclipse; Not Hale-Bopp Though

The eclipse was interesting...something less than totality here although it darkened enough that the birds started singing as it became lighter.

I took a few poor photos covering the lense with my eclipspe glasses. That distorted the photos and produced interesting images.

It's possible Democrats will blame Pres. Trump for the sky darkening. At least the event suggest that global cooling might be achieved in a real emergency with some sort of adjustable screen serving to partially block out sunlight.

Politics of Blocking Social Media Trolls

The politics of blocking social media supposedly is a gray area. Like the national debt, the lack of quality dental service for the poor, and preventing the U.S.A. from evolving to no more than a cheapest labor, no corporate tax zone for global plutocrats as an equivalent to airport duty-free shops. Government has trouble in deciding how to handle trolls attacking its social media web sites.

The fault lies mostly with Twitter, Facebook and others that allow hostile posts to co-exist with the good. If the primary page user is to really ‘own’ his page he or she needs the ability to edit what appears there or deny it altogether as any newspaper or magazine editor would.

The primary user generally does not have the ability to sort all posts into good input or troll- the equivalent of spam. Politicians need to be sensitive about the right of people to express their true opinions to those in political office-or even to political offices and departments, yet primary page user politicians also need to keep bad trolls from taking over the primary user page. The easiest and most democratic thing to do would be for Twitter and Facebook to create different streams of comments paths that the primary user may sort comments into if he wants, rather than to just delete them.

Comments that praise an evil and corrupt, malevolent democrat Senator seeking to flood the nation with illegal aliens ought not be posted for re-enforcing corruption while opposition comments are deleted or alternatively allowed to drown out the corrupt supportive commentary if there are so many that they dwarf those in support. Even corrupt political ideas need to be treated equally as far as input and expression goes. The main thing is to allow the primary user to sort ideas into friend and foe streams as he or she or uncertain and confused chooses.

How Would a Floyd Mayweather Jr vs Bruce Lee Fight Have Gone?

Mayweather's March 26 opponent has said that for Mayweather to train against a martial arts opponent as good as he is he would have to resurrect Bruce Lee. Bruce Lee was a great Wing Chun kung fu figher of course, yet if restricted to nothing beyond legal boxing rules could he have survived seven rounds with Mayweather, Marvin Haglar, Roberto Duran, Thomas Hearns or Sugar Ray Leonard? I am skeptical about that.

WIng Chun kung fu controls the center line and moves forward to attack as a defensive method.One drives one's opponent backward off-balance and counter-punches a lot. Yet kung fu evidently uses a lot of different parts of the body to strike including elbows, knees, back hands etc. None of that is permitted in boxing, and neither are rabbit punches or intentional head buts.

One of the best things about wing chun fighters are chain punches with real speed. I doubt if that happens much even in MMA events though. Maybe Conner McGregor can execute one of those back flips with a heal strike on the top of Mayweather's head- who knows? It is certain that it would be an illegal kick however, as would be all of those brilliant Bruce Lee kicks. That style never caught on in professional boxing.

My Gestalt (a poem)

My Gestalt has everything just so

figures of dreams

conversations of creation

white supremists struggling

blacks with machine guns killing for Congo

drums from every continent

incessantly beating a rhythm of life

Arranged valleys and hills on the becrusted world

aged beyond the molten stage

phenomenal fields of quarks strung along

ideas of existential analysis

Moons awaiting drone probes

and 4-D print-out cities

My Gestalt has infinite parts

though the whole is greater than their sum

God with one Universal field-mind

One with three persons

and 17 trillion billion zero-dimensional points

some place where angels dance and sing
selects those He would save.

Two Minor Issues with E-Bay

Chinese producers evidentally are haters of Alaska and Hawaii since they won't mail anything there from e-bay commonly.  For decades the U.S. postal service have delivered packages to Alaska via dog sled and to Hawaii via Polynesian catamaran, so why do the Chinese exclude those two states in the back of beyond and include the 48 states and District of Columbia.

The Trump administration Justice Department might want to start a hate crimes investigation on China policy at e-bay.

The other issue is with the sorting gap. With thousands of Chinese producers listing their products that won't ship to Alaska and Hawaii, it would be helpful to be able to sort by country of product origin to find U.S. producers- that needle in a haystack effort, who can actually send a product to Alaska.

THere are Chinese producers with forwarding offices in China and Arizona that also won't mail anything to Alaska and Hawaii, and they definately should be included on the hate crimes investigation roster.
