President Trump Should Not Liberalize National Dopeyness Further

Many Americans under the dopey influence of the Democrat Party have urged legalization of marijuana across the nation and that is a bad idea. While dope, bread and circuses are perennial interests of the corrupt, decadence per se is bad for nations and national development. Though dope may have bad health effects on people and degrade short-term memory, and all that is popular because of sensory stimuli and pleasure associated with dope use, nations that forego decadent pleasures voluntarily tend to fare better than those that don't over the course of history.

The question legislators may have regarding the liberalization of dope is not does the constitution outlaw dopeyness so much as does it permit the congress to outlaw dope and dopeyness?

The founders could not have anticipated and made laws against every possible dopey and detrimental social behavior in the future. Good sense and good judgment of law-makers is requisite for good social results that allow business to prosper and society to increase health. Some behaviors require voluntary support or abstemiousness for moderation in law. Lawmakers need be leaders and good example rather than the lowest common denominator themselves seeking to make even lower quality laws. Life is brief and human potential to be actualized need be positively reinforced with positive laws in support of good behavioral forms. 

There are legislators that have yippee attitudes regarding age apparently. Even one Republican Florida Representative named Mike Gaetz uttered an age discrimination hate catch phrase- "O.K., Boomer" in disrespect of one aged Kelly Anne Conway's comment about the evils of dope and dope legalization. In many cases such as that of the late author James Mitchener who continued writing until the age of 90 (before he terminated his kidney dialysis in Florida and died), older generations have been very productive until very advanced age accomplishing more in their elder years than many younger people will ever accomplish in their entire lives.

Goons full of age abuse ideas encouraged by lawmakers advocating for legal dope so schoolchildren may leave their homes with their homosexual parents cloud of dope smoke behind might be regarded as not contributing much to reinforce a productive society. Legal dope broadly available will harm society in mass with the drug permeating the core of society and second hand smoke ubiquitous. While the nation has many strengths and positive points it also has many that are detriments. Adding large scale detrimental laws to mal-effect the health of society isn't good law-making.

Excess wealth can make a society indolent and unconcerned with efficiency or balanced state and federal budgets. It might be better to look for legislation that would allow steroid accelerated muscle repair in the aged with research on how to not affect the temperament of users than to advocate dope use among the working class and teenagers. When society has the good fortune to experience prosperity it should pay off accounts like the public debt and build its moral, physical and intellectual health up rather than to tear it down.

A society should learn from the mistakes of history rather than to repeat them. A sober and determined people is more able to respond to the challenges presented to it than those dulled and stupidified with the pursuit of pleasure fore-itself encouraging working age adults to use dope and achieve minimal contributions to overcoming primary social challenges. A society should seek to avoid known decadent mass social practices rather than to encourage them. 

The world is over-populated beyond its carrying capacity presently and the many environmental problems associated with that will not be met faster with increased social dopeyness.

Eliminate Light Pollution with Night Vision Tech and Sensing Apps

Worldly insects are being destroyed by human night light pollution as well as habitat and chemical destruction. Getting rid of human built lights outside at night might not be too difficult if windshields are made into night vision devices and street lamps put out light invisible to insect yet visible to people that wear night glasses. Houses could have black-out shades as if it were the London blitz days and general navigation in the dark with excellent android phones that are given see in the dark and other apps and technology for accurate walking and sensing of objects in total darkness are prioritized. Technology can fairly easily adapt changes to restore some ecospheric health if politicians could be restored to s state of intelligent interdisciplinary ruminations themselves, as if they ever were the past 40 years.

Thanksgiving Turkeys of Impeachment Season

One should not pass over the countless hours and even months that go into preparing Holiday meals without acknowledging the chefs and their labors. The Democrat party haves presented the nation several thanksgiving turkeys to be thankful about since they will disappear through the nation’s alimentary exit. Representatives Nadler and Shiff, Speaker Pelosi and others have served specious turkeys of interpretation to the nation with sauce, relish and trimmings.

The President whom is the guest of the feast was said to have asked a foreign nation- one where the son of the prior administration’s Vice President, was given lucrative employment as a board member of a corporation in which he had no experience at all for more than a half million dollars a year. Democrats have indicated with indignation that it is an impeachable offense to ask that nation-Ukraine, to investigate crimes and corruption concerning Democrat Party leaders especially if they are running for the office of President to double down on heaping portions of foreign profits in exchange for payments from the United States government to that nation.

Democrats holding the feast have said that if a Democrat leader suspected of trading his office for cash to himself or his family is subject to investigation by the President of the United States, or a request that Ukraine investigate the Democrat leader’s suspected corruption abroad, that is an impeachable offense when the Democrat is running for office again.

The leaders of the festivities have said that the President of the United States is interfering in U.S. elections by running for re-election himself as well as asking a foreign government to investigate suspected and obvious possible corruption by one of the Democrat Presidential candidates. Apparently there are rules the Democrat Party has made behind closed doors that it is illegal or impeachable to investigate or ask foreign governments to investigate (or even have it looked into by a Grand Jury) Democrat presidential primary candidates.

No Thanksgiving celebration is complete without wild cranberry sauce. The Democrats saved some of the savory sauce with sweeteners from the 2016 election when Democrat leaders asked foreign agents to fabricate a dossier- The Steele Dossier- detailing Donald Trump’s ties to hidden Russian deals to boost his election chance.

Apparently Ukraine has become a Democrat stronghold for perfidious seasoning of Turkey stuffing. Liberal gravy is produced in dark cauldrons of dark foreign forests and in urban wasteland organs of contingency. No Thanksgiving would be complete without a sugary treat so Democrats have baked a star witness overt counterpart to the secret primary ear and sweet nothing whistle blower- one Lt. Col Vindman- born in the USSR and Ukraine Soviet Socialist Republic.

Home 3-D Printing for Price Savings

I hadn't realized that 3-D printing in plastic is so cheap. One can buy a decent low-end 3-D printer for 200 to 400 dollars. Immediate applications might include do-it-yourself dentures and guns.

Presently some federal judge has ruled in favor of a temporary injunction against publishing plans for guns on the Internet. yet if one can manufacture a gun at home for $100 instead of paying $500 to a corporation it seems as if any citizen should be free to do so.

Three-D printing, solar panels, Tesla trucks and other tools to allow home energy and manufacture independence are liberating tools to enable Americans to reduce their dependence upon Wall Street for everything as if it was the company store and the only one available for anything.

3-D dentures for home production would be simple to manufacture. One should first have a model medium to bite with gums and remaining teeth that will remain pliable for a hour or two. One should scan the model into an on-line plan site that would match the right size plan for the bite. The 3-D printed gums would have notches to set the teeth in (a pack of denture teeth being ordered on-line from Amazon or e-bay)

Then the 3D printer would print out the permanent gums into which manufactured teeth would be set by the home producer when it is finished. Special glue would be used to fix the teeth into the gums. Lastly a special self-hardening clay-like substance would be placed into the hard gums and the dentures place into the mouth were the clay-like substance would conform to the natural contour of the gums of the wearer. Excess would be cut off. The the substance would be allowed to harden (or remain partially soft if the wearer wants a soft liner).

There may be thousands of easy to produce at home items for 3-D printing. Maybe there should be numerous 3-D printing outlets at retailers and on-line stores.

The Future Disintegration of Family Structure with Democrat Agenda in Evo Maladaptation

The late economist Lester Thurow of M.I.T., born in Livingston Montana, mentioned in one of his books in the 1990s that the traditional social structure wasn't working and needed to change. I suppose he thought that there are too many people consuming too much of the ecosystem destructively and producing too much eco-waste including greenhouse gases. His comment was perhaps a leading indicator of the deep Harvard-New England elite's wish to destroy traditional social structures including families led by middle class white males that stand as an obstacle to a master plan based on elite management of society that would conserve and concentrate wealth for the richest and convert the rest of humanity into malleable jellyfish without ideas about personal properties of rights and material.

Dangerous Currents by Lester Thurow

There are several elements of the Democrat Party and elite agenda that would support the disintegration of families with replacement by common mass public themes. Abortion, legalized dope, homosexual expropriation of marriage, the bread and circuses environment of televised pro sports, promotion of atheism, tax cuts to low, low settings on the rich, open borders with constant influx of non-college graduates that work for low wages illegally, propagation of vast public debt, globalism, mass media propaganda in support of what were traditionally regarded as immoral sex norms and family values etc. Democrat Party Presidential primary planks such as Medicare for everyone at a cost of 52 trillion dollars and other forms of incompetent socialism-corporatism also reinforce the social vector toward a mass social environment of individual citizens with a primary I-Thou relation of the individual to the mass social zeitgeist that would be reflected in nearly all, ideally. Socially autonomous individuals would be reliant on mass social structures rather than families and would have no interest in creating a family unit as dope and promiscuity with a cornucopia of technical and medical entertainment pleasures along with a certain level of prosperity providing more important diversions suitable for a neo-narcissistic society.


In is interesting that development politically toward the disintegration of social structures and conventional social boundaries that protected individuals fundamentally are the new Democrat Party agenda. Yet reliance upon a vast average social conversion of citizens with traditional self interests to the new amoral social sardine beyond good and evil for adaptation to the limits of the natural environment's carrying capacity seems wrong to me. It is not only wrong, it is inefficient compared to a democracy led by enlightened individuals who recognize traditional American values including the free enterprise economy, Christianity, liberty, free speech, the right to 3D print weapons and heterosexual marriage etc.

Democracy is just a tool for the use of the citizens of a nation. It can be administered with good or bad results depending upon the quality and skill of the leaders it selects through votes to lead it. The United States has had poor leadership either unresponsive or reacting with corruption of society to the primary challenges to national and world existence. One might almost say that Dwight Eisenhower was the last President to serve a full term that was up to speed on ecospheric challenges as science provides knowledge of.

Environmental economics is now an academic discipline and its comprehensive implementation for the U.S.A. would require a complete reformation of social and legal principles led by government. That simply isn't on the agenda. The tension between the Democrat and elite destroy all traditional values agenda as a way to respond to ecosphere challenges undercuts the possibility of an enlightened response of Democracy to the ecospheric challenges of wilderness loss, overpopulation, species extirpation and global warming. That is the sad fact.

The U.S.A. thus faces a gross political deformity of good policy with Democrats trying to destroy traditional society in order to benefit and fulfill the elite, scientific view of humans and too many biological consumers of ecosphere health and Republicans that with social populism along more traditional lines tend to ignore ecosphere challenges as an externality. With democracy being the best tool when properly led, the political milieu of converting it to socialism or coporatism and secularizing the society to the point of socialized prole citizenry is antipathetic.

It would seem that the non-reproducing atheist amoeba idealized by the elites would produce a good chance of mass social culling of the herd when the conversion goes far enough. At that point the proles might not even care.

Humanity may not be up to long-term living in micro-gravity. The evolutionary challenge may be too great, and artificial gravity is tough to engineer even with spinning centrifugal force functioning space platforms. Humans will need to live on Earth-like gravity environments or in a few generations people may become as extinct as dinosaurs that weren't up to a quick evolutionary challenge. 

Humanity will need to live on the Earth quite a while as bugs are worked out to the entire evolutionary challenge of environments with less than Earth-normal gravity. That means a sustainable world economy that won't just deplete all resources in the next couple of centuries needs to be adapted. Not even the new Tesla pickup truck that is all electric and goes zero to 60 mph in 2.9 seconds that is a positive factor can fill the need for a complete reform of the world economy along ecological economic principles.

Constructing large space platforms that spin to create a semblance of gravity might not work too well to compensate for the radical changes in G field strength humans would experience in space with travel through micro-gravity. That is, evolutionary structures built over millions of years in a constant gravitational field are not at all similar to temporal changes from G-Earth to micro-gravity. If one considers Newton's spinning bucket thought experiment comparable to a spinning space station with humans installed in it the paradigm of maintaining a constant gravitational field strength equal to Earth at all locations on the space platform with centrifugal force becomes a brain-sloshing thought experiment itself.

Even the idea of using human hibernation while travelling decades to other stars with planets seems dangerous in light of gravity. Without the Earth's gravity space travelers will not experience an up and down that the human physiology was evolved in. Unless a space traveler is virtually frozen solid so fluids and molecules cannot disorient to Earth's up/down field real damage to the human travelers may develop.

Lt. Col Vindman-Star Impeachment Witness- Was Born in Soviet Union

There is a certain humor in the Democrat Party's star impeachment witness Lt. Col. Alexander Semyon Vindman being born in the Soviet Union. He was actually born in the Ukraine Soviet Socialist Republic and emigrated at the age of three with his parents.

After years of Democrat Party efforts to prove that President Trump had hidden Russian connections that helped win the 2016 election, they have brought forward a hidden whistle blower and a star witness born in the Soviet Union and Ukraine (where he may still have relatives). The irony couldn't have been designed by anyone besides a sitcom comedy writer.

Besides humor there could be a certain conflict of interest in his antipathy for any Presidential policy change toward the Ukraine or Russia. It is also possibly wrong for a President to not investigate high level U.S. politicians from Washington D.C. that may have worked corruption abroad, including Ukraine.

President Trump had a right and a duty to discover what influence the Obama administration was actually having in the Ukraine. That was in the interests of the people of the United States. Why for example, would the Vice-President's completely unqualified son be giving fifty to eighty-six thousands dollars per month for being on the board of a Ukrainian business?

Lt. Col. Vindman, quite possibly still a citizen of Ukraine, apparently felt that the best U.S. policy was hostility to Russia and military support for the Obama era policies of protracted conflict in eastern Ukraine. 

A better policy in my opinion would have been to let Russia and Ukraine share a common Eastern border on the Dnepr River so the Russian would not feel swindled by Clinton era policies of snatch and grab former what were Russian ancestral lands for hundreds of years that had been part of the former Soviet Union. Peaceful and mutually prosperous relations with the new Russia, rather than protracted coldish war and military build up is in the interest of the United States. Driving Russia to the old cold war era relationship with China isn't in the interest of the United States. That policy is one for idiots that discount the danger of nuclear conflict.

Pentagon people should be designing some kind of a better helicopter for delivering people to hot zones that can deflect a few bullets and rockets and are quiet instead of looking for ways to restart the Cold War.

Alaska Dropping the Ball on Ferry Service Connections

The Alaska Ferry system has been much criticized for being slow, costly and of value more for tourists than residents. Spartan boats without kitchens and staterooms would be cheaper to keep in business, yet they don't much exist on S.E. routes. The ferry service to the road system from isolated Alexander Archipelago locations has been interrupted and is nearly stopped as far as Prince Rupert goes.

There are three basic regions of ferry service in Alaska that presently work plus Prince Rupert. Some day there may be a boat on Alaska's east and north coast or the Yukon, yet not for now. It is a mistake to regard the three regions as just one system; for each have different weather, water, time and demographic needs.

There is a value in government providing certain transportation corridors in areas with ecosystem conservation requisites in order to forestall crass, destructive, invasive road construction detrimental to the cohesion of life on Earth.

Wouldn't a no frills ferry working between Prince Rupert and Ketchikan be a more efficient water service that would be affordable to the state? With twice weekly service on a boat without staterooms or food service with a ferry marshal aboard paid for by Canadian and U.S. Governments passengers and goods could resume a normal flow. Maybe a private inter-island ferry to Angoon from Wrangell or Petersburg could be given some kind of subsidy to make the trip to connect with the Alaska Marine highway service to Wrangell or Petersburg and Juneau. Some kind of coordination should exist between governments to connect private boats with government routes around the North Pacific coast. Certainly there are lots of opportunities for all kinds of travelers and operators.

If the ferry system doesn't work for bring cars and cargo to S.E. Alaska people will start looking for the Bradfield Road project to resume that would let Canadians and others drive to Wrangell Alaska that would become the new Prince Rupert- and that would be an environmental disaster. I encourage government designers of efficient public works to look for creation of a very fast and cheap boat to let goods and electric cars travel from Prince Rupert to Wrangell. The fast cheap spartan boat should have electric charging for electric cars aboard, and S.E. Alaska communities should also establish EV charging stations or outlets for travelers with sensible electric cars.


Pres. Trump Should Let Republicans Question Him at Impeachment Hearing

Since the impeachment hearing in the House isn't just a partisan way to overcome President Trump's 2016 election victory after all else has failed the President should agree to let Republican House members question him at the hearing. That would avoid any potential partisan conflict of interest speeches, diatribes, tricks and traps from Democrats grandstanding for the camera and voters.

Republicans could provide five members of the House to ask questions about the President's phone calls with the President of Ukraine. They should discover if there were elements of ad astra per aspera that would influence the course of Ukraine conflict with Russia, internal corruption and influence of the Bidens and other Democrats in stimulating conflict that if solved would make conflict over Dnepr regions moot.

Democrats should be happy to have their Republican brothers and sisters handle the dirty work of uncovering Obama era policies and corruption that brought the Ukraine conflict dulce periculum to be the normative condition.

A Note on the Linguistic Philosophy and Empiricism Lines

Wittgenstein's Tractatus and the epistemological work 'On Certainty' as well as the Blue and Brown books are interesting. Russell got Wittgenstein a PhD and position at Cambridge where he worked on linguistic philosophy. I like Sartre's work quite a bit more, and that of W.V.O. Quine and P.F. Strawson too concerning epistemology. In the tradition of linguistic philosophy Wittgenstein definitely has a place, yet it moves on and the work of Saul Kripke for example, with his most famous work; 'Naming and Necessity' is original work. Harvard wouldn't give him a PhD because there was no one competent to evaluate his work at the time- he was that original. Quine's work is similar though in some respects and Kripke was familiar with Quine's work in the discussion and realism vs nominalism. Quine and Strawson are quite good for bringing epistemological insights forward from empiricism in the field of the philosophy of logic. The technical approach reminds me a lot of Kant's try at epistemology with the Prolegomena to Any Future Metaphysics (a condensed version of the Critique of Pure Reason).

This is a different philosophical line of a few philosophical writers that wrote within a century of one another...

I took a course on Kierkegaard and Socratic Irony that was quite good after I had read Stages in Life's Way, Fear and Trembling, The Sickness Unto Death, etc. I have read Nietzsche's collected works and didn't find anything in them even vaguely like Sartre's works- not even his aphorisms, and Camus' works like The Plague, and The Stranger. I.M.O. they don't begin to approach even remotely the technical rigor of Sartre as he continued French rationalism. Being and Nothingness and The Critique of Dialectical Reason are nothing like the works of the above authors you have mentioned. Camus' The Plague is a good novel, yet Camus was a fiction writer perhaps comparable to Dostoyevsky more appropriately than Sartre who was a professional philosopher as well as a fine writer of novels, plays and short stories- he won a Nobel prize in Literature for that, yet turned that down like so many others before him- l.o.l.

Democrat's Queer Core Floats Buttigieg in Iowa Race

South Bend Indiana's homosexual Mayor Pete Buttigieg is leading the Democrat Presidential race in Iowa not only because the other candidates are socialist-communists or financially crazy seeking to add trillions and trillions of dollars of public debt for inefficient services for the middle class, he also has the core support of homosexuals.

Pete Buttigieg if elected would degrade pr of the United States rather substantially with homo-coupling in the White House. Some voters would tune out even more than they did with Hillary. Voters cannot be certain if he is the butch or the feminine queer buddy, yet they can be certain that he is an Oxford creature. It is remarkable that a superficial moderate with queer British training could rise to become the front runner simple because the remainder of the candidates are unthinkably lame. For the British to calculate the rise of queers running for the U.S. Presidency shows the skill of the Oxford selection committee in recognize the gullibility of the masses of Democrat voters. Rhodes scholars are selected to advance British interests abroad.

One might think Democrats would have a clue about running competent candidates; even Donna Brazil would be an improvement over the usual suspects.
