President Obama Bungles Policy Speech-Calls for Israel to Fall Back to pre-1967 Borders

President Obama's middle eastern speech evidently hadn't much interest in the middle east and North Africa. It was the administration's 'were on top of it' speech that comprises a future post hoc political alibi for the region without much present substance.

http://www.nytimes.com/2011/05/20/world/middleeast/20speech.html?partner=rss&emc=rss

President Obama is of course a Republican light global corporatist U.S. branch public relations guy with more interest in foreign affairs than in creating jobs for Americans. In December 2010 he was the fullback for Republican tax cut extensions carrying the ball to victory for the remainder of his administration. Without a meaningful middle east policy except to expand markets he relies upon support for political agitation to overthrow governents in the region to advance the interests of youth and a burgeoning population. Youth may provide energy, yet without discipline it may be badly invested effort that occurs-and wisdom tends to develop with age. Those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it the axiom goes.

Israel doesn't need to fight another, more desparate conflict against close in Palestinainas enabled by President Obama to become a perennial, immanent threat. Ad hoc terrorist methods given enough time to develop tend to actualize.

Israel since the first Arab attack following the Balfour agreement has defended itself against a Moslem world agitating for its destruction. President Obama in seeking to serve as the leading edge of Palestinian aggression through political means desires that Israel fall back to the pre- six day war borders-of course Israel has already given up much of that land without getting anything besides more terrorism and less security.

Syria was given to French administration by the British following the defeat of the Ottoman Empire; there is no transcendentatl reason for Isreal ever to relenquich it to the present or a differrent government in Syria. Neither is there a rational reason for Israel to believe that in giving up part of Jerusalem or a 30 mile boundry extension beyond the 67 boundary that it should increase its security.

Bringing the Palestinians closer to Israel merely makes it simpler for their terrorist operatives to intimidate Israelies. New technology may arise from Israel and other locations-yet the basic functions of remove from artillery and rocket fire access is still a good security element. While the Palestinians believe they will can have everything they want besides the final solution to the existence of the state of Isreal through U.S. leverage on Israel they shall continue their terrorism as might the I.R.A. if the U.S.A. was actively involved in getting Britian to give up Irish territory methodically from Northern Ireland.

There are Moslem fundamentalists whom will never accept the existence of Israel. There are American Presidents whom are too daft to understand that. Israael; needs a hard and defendsible border that admits no illegal aliens to undermine its security and economy.

The President as the new Republican light Democratic party vanguard leader has abandoned the traditional values of the party on U.S. economics. He fails to understand that the world is not moving toward a final peaceful condition in which Harvard University graduates and lawyers run the world benevolently. More than 400,000 jobs are lost in the U.S.A. every month and far fewer are created. The U.S. needs development and ecological reform, and less concern with the protracted chaos in the middle east and North Africa. We should defend Israel with compentent combat engineering and hair trigger assureed resp[onse to substantive aggression upon Israel from opposition force national elements in the area and help what Palestinians are willing to live peacefully in their own territory at a safe distance from Israel until their hate withers away.

On Zeilinger's 2010 book 'Dance of the Photons'

Reading Zeilinger's 2010 book on light quanta 'Dance of the Photons', quantum superposition and entanglement-a popular book for novices at quantum mechanics, is interesting. The book is pretty good reading although a little specialized for those wishing to get right to the main cosmological descriptions of reality from largest to smallest...one likes to learn of the most recent theory of what occurred before the inflation of the Universe before one's coffee gets cold.

So far as I have read, there is fascinating historical summation of the Einstein-Rosenberg, Heisenberg, Schrodinger, Dirac, Pauli developments of theory in the field (non-technical of course for readers). Einstein's recovery of a particle theory of light from the popular wave theory of the day is brought out. It made me wish that the United States had a national laser and particle/microwave beam energy pipeline to taking energy from alternate sources such as wind and solar and beaming it around the nation with beam splitters and local applications for work in order to eliminate loss due to resistance in non-superconducting wires.

The idea that quantum packets of data-rather probability waves instead of either waves or point-particles, are represented by quantum theory, and that they may convey information faster than light through entanglement and superpositioning is a fruitful subject of thought. Obviously its easier to consider real things-maybe Calibi-Yau spaces developed with mathematical models of a sub-caliber character, than the missing, gaps inclined simultaneous two-places at once potential of quantum particles.

Astro-physics and solid state discoveries such as some Japanese researchers discovered recently of large planets without a local star to circle around are even easier to consider. One realizes that space may have a plethora of hidden, rocky planets and ice balls drfting unattached through the abyssal void of interstellar and even intergalactic space.

If light quanta are probability waves representationally within an electric field, one suspects that the entire field may have a pervasive pressure making quantum accounts ballance and providing the appearance of conveyance of information faster than light. Actually the topic of what makes the appearance of quantum superposition work so it can provide the same information to distal particles is one that can bring numerous theories to mind. Maybe when I have completed reading this book I will have a better idea about electrical fields and the place of photons journeying through them. The subject can be a little hazy at times.

On the Separation of Church and State

There are myriad viewpoints on social morality citizens may take, often applying said subjective moral princples without Kant's categorical imperative guiding their way. Amongst those political opinions one of the occasional most controversial is the separation of church and state.

Separation of church and state is a two-edged blade. The advantage may go to either element across history from the Moslem sword to the evil politicians of nefarious plundering raids.

Little junior sitting in his desk may be indoctrinated by the state religion of atheist loyalty to a godless phenomenalism. He may be taught a philosophical sum over histories called Darwin's Gambit-"a series of ordinal permutations with random prime number permutations leading through functions of base pairs and local clumps of space atoms from extra-micro dimensions generating sinusoidal, corkscrew wave patterns tapering off to subtle yet interesting infinities.

Proliferation of infinities in permutating functions is a technique to let the design of unlimited increase be an implicit element unfunded by energy. Patterns are illimitable, energy and mass are not.

We were led to believe the perspective of origins evolving through base pair constructions providing redundant temporal lines of computation.

So we may ask, is this so bad? What if teachers lead in bowing to Mecca a few times per day, or worship Wall Street, leading economic indicators or the global warming thermometer at Times Square next to the Atomic Detonation Clock (if such existed)?

Wouldn't it be more economical political theorists may ask, if the state and religions consolidated and made the President the head of The Church of Good and Righteous Subjects that Do Not Hate?

Already the U.S. Government has required that churches be non-profit to receive exempt tax status. So we see that the federal budget itself is apposite for its own requirements for churches to lose money. The separation of church and state in some respects may not be far enough. If churches must lose money then members cannot be shareholders and receive dividends, and some probably could use it. As it is the proplits are concentrated at the top in church and state hierarchies.

In some respects the people that complain about the separation of church and state may not be aware of world political history sufficiently to regard the wisdom in the policy.

Religions co-opted by state rulers become a tool for state repression of religious liberty. That can develop positively and negatively as in the official state approved churches of Nazi Germany, Communist China, the Byzantine Empire, The Abbasid Caliphate, The Ayatollah Khomeini's Iran and the atheism of the communist party in the Soviet Union.

Sure we know that religions are sometimes used by the corrupt to advance their financial interests disingenuously and that politics is too often exploited to give an unjust advantage to special interests to the disadvantage of honest people. The corruption of public interests and social justice may be synergetically enhanced by the combining of church and state under one roof or big dome of political power.

Yes, many of us still wish to live the moral life. Some of us do not wish to strive for the technical virtue of Socrates or the President of the World Bank, but just a little less than that-good enough. On the other hand, we may believe that many of our brethren are unscrupulous cheaters on all good things pretending even in church. We believe them dishonest even in government and when shouting out in support of public depravity. Well, these are perhaps reasons then to compartmentalize the moral mayhem and implement damage control measures like separation of church and state. The god emperor of Dune won't find a place in our backyard!

Jesus Christ in the garden of Gethsemene knew when the Prince of this World was on the way to arrest him. It is not in the Christian's interest to bring the Prince of the World into a position of church leadership.

Duinn's Conjecture ©2011GaryCGibson (science fiction)

Why would a chess champion cheat at the game? Would high pay and the quest for prestige drive a genius to murder for an illusion of profit?

I could think of no immediate motive for the possible crimes devastating the player’s ranks. Most players have what they need, though nothing is certain to prevent anyone from creating collateral damage for pay in some unknown way.

Power is a goal for-itself. Political power’s coefficient is a function decreasing intelligent, socially benefiting objectives.

Game players under covert contract may model strategies of implicit power development for political corruption. Government surveys are supposed to prevent unfair gaming of competition, yet even macro-economic game winnings of the early 21st century have been corrupted.

There are two players on the stage that we look upon. One Neglon Bacalar is the benighted genius resembling a heavy jowled clone of Vladimir Ilyich Lenin. The other is a tall, thin man with a dark two-day beard. A holographic timer floating above in air indicates the limits of time in one direction with standard, non-relativistic units.

The players are set apart a few dozen paces. The interval is filled in by a vortex of uncertain, discontinuous dimensions. Dimensions known and unknown warp the visible universe represented there in grotesqueries and complexities of surreality transcending themselves like the whimsy of forgetful multi-dimensional time.

Time-space and the meaning of that which might be experienced or understood differs for observers qualitatively within and without the game. Functions of constructions of things perceived vary in character between individuals as they do in the cascade of continua moved through eleven dimensional chess actions.

If the chess championship is to continue to remain competitively afloat somehow the fatality rate for players must be renormalized to social average from its present high of ten per cent.

My friend Ortiagon says something sotto voce to break my reflection; ‘So why it is the brains extrude wrongly, before their time? Not everything has been packed well enough into the right space-time, even with streets named after the best looking of the ruling elite’.

I look at Ortiagon’s neighbor, my chess watching second Maruos who said; ‘I ain’t wit ya on that Orti. They was always smarter en they should da been. Took the proplits of the east side and da west side and shuffled em together like so many cabbage piled up. It was da place wheyuh they all felt they was best, in front uh da cameras with the political gods on their side. That punches up the proud of human sacrifice through multi-dimensional crunch.’

Ortiagon without turning away from the mess in the space-box says ‘The cameras. Nothing like that anymore. Not since Shape Chicago phased out optic chips for oprichina. Every surface captures quantum impressions. Can’t fake the past without changing reality-make new local material reality precipitate through amputation integrators.’

I listen to Maruos and Ortiagon, smiling a little when I need to. I may slightly nod my head or making an interested uh huh sound while I study the flow of extra-dimensional chess displacement on-stage. The eleven dimensional chess championship season I subscribe to brings us Friday afternoons to watch space-time chess games unpack dimensional strings in temporal order. The dominant strategies emerge unscripted conclusively only scene by scene.

Following the constructions of extra-dimensional intrusions into our three-dimensions of space we experience virtual realities; real to them and us, yet temporal apparitions destined to disappear as suddenly as they arrive after becoming muscled out. Time, normally enough a linear sequence of events, is in the presentation often restructured with interpolated downloads from future and past.

Echoes from higher dimensional membranes are extracted and placed into the championship arena one at a time in no set temporal order beyond the gestalt of experience.

‘What ya think of the 2012 termination series Orti?’

Ortiagon has a bias toward the past; ‘It was the greatest election since 1066. Garbage collectors arrived to deplete every sort of anomaly harmful to human development, bagged it and stuffed it into six extra dimension chutes. It was the most economical use of extra micro-sized dimensional energy for space-time mosaic reallocating yet. The void left vacuum intensity currents increasing probability fields.’

‘Yeah, that’s how I feel about it too Orti.’

The summer championship series beginning in Ja June has depleted the chess teams in predictable ordinal increase. It is statistically predictable and inexplicable. Quantum computer aided strategies are allowed, yet of limited value with the higher temporal dimensional cutting and pasting displacing time and intention.

Certainly no player plans his own destruction as a part of winning strategy-they are not Jesus Christ-who required a fully God yet fully human nature simultaneously in order that at crucifixion and death someone remained alive to resurrect Him.

What use is a plan to build particular space-time content when the context in which the space-time is connected no longer exists? Uncertainty may be an aspect of the quantum world providing an appearance of space-time interval in given object dimensions, yet it may be quite certain in other dimensions. Substance can seem comparatively solid because of the lack of uncertainty and interval or spacing and timing.

Players use an encyclopedia of strategies to gain strategic and tactical advantages over the other side. That may mean trying to move the winning strategy from extra dimensions back to the very start of the game so it ends before the opponent can reply.

The game moves on for a few hours or days before the temporal history becomes rewritten as strategies in extra dimensions building up to retro-write a new past.

I am not of the opinion that it’s all a con-that the games just seem to last for hours when instead they end as soon as one walks in and the deleted temporal experience becomes like some kind of pharmaceutically engineered delusion-in other words, a cheap trick for a fast buck. It would be easy to believe if it weren’t for the things go on offstage in the more real world.

Dead reckoning calculations based on the best available physics theory give no better than a small probability of emerging with the winning time at the beginning of the game’s space-time alive. It is difficult to split time so fine when it may be wrapped on super-strings comprising a Universe in-itself. Time can resemble a context of mass energy construction irreducible from its position as a mass phenomenon.

The players that stay alive in the game are survivors of an existential cull. I might have said a process of natural selection, yet there is very little that is natural about it. It’s become a war game of intelligent design.

Neglon Bacalar is regarded as the brightest chess player of our time. He is nevertheless a remix specialist sampling fragments of winning tactics and sending them en mass with drone denial of extra-dimensional probability attacks on the beginning of the game until something drops through into place. Neglon sometimes seems to have a physical change on-stage as part of his strategy. Fans of the player’s passion for the game explain that by saying it brings him to commit his entire self to winning-maybe in a philosophical sense that means increasing his winnings in the form of extra-quark credits or social power.

Bacalar exploited the expansion of micro-dimensions in the game-field to change his being allowing the field to expand a little beyond its levies like swollen super-dimensional water. If he is entirely immersed in the game-field, perhaps even becoming one with partial fields of dimensions he might be considered to be cheating. Altering the dimensions to suit himself, deleting the competition with evil, placing himself in the position of being the god of eleven dimensional chess-these things are illegal.

Some believe Bacalar is addicted to the game like an oil spill on water gradually soaking deeply into the sand. Making itself one with the game even if poisoning it is an existential thing-to-do, an important thing to a trans-dimensional uncertainty as he may be, have been or become. His opponents and even teammates suffer high depletion.

I have been of a mind to believe that Bacalar was rigging the game and murdering his rivals. To some, winning is everything, even if the metaphysical footing is insubstantial, fleeting and of unknown purpose.

Bacalar may be a genius or a villain, I cannot be sure. Evidence might be simply the extra-dimensional deposition of the odd and unusual things; corpses in chaotic repose arriving suddenly like a Biblical plague of frogs even unto the halls and desks of government, the end of the world November 7, 2012 overturned after the fact with retro-time reassembly, inexplicable global atmospheric warming and melting of the ice sheets of the planet for which no scientific explanation could be advanced. No, if Bacalar has engineered the high unemployment rate and national debt he is an evil genius.

In a game theory for eleven dimensional chess that has beauty, one would think that construction of the best possible temporal order for living, sentient beings would be the object. The pursuit of the ultimate good should be a transcending goal materializing even within the game field as it might in the Universe or any possible Universe.

Minimizing the good would be antipathetic to reason, and we assume that reason for itself would be regarded as the good. Why then would good chess players move to create temporal evil?

Could an answer be that collateral damage is just an aspect of the actualizing of means to bring the best possible end? Or might it be held that the end is not universally regarded as inevitable or unique, and that the end goal of the game is not to secure the good-even if it is winning? For then the idea of what the good is, is lost for some players who bring collateral damage through extra-dimensions to the streets of the city outside the game arena?

We anticipated that soon, a player would make an ex-temporal move.

And it seemed a predictable, almost amateur move- Darwin’s Gambit; a series of ordinal permutations with random prime number permutations leading through functions of base pairs and local clumps of space atoms from extra-micro dimensions generating sinusoidal, corkscrew wave patterns tapering off to subtle yet interesting infinities. Proliferation of infinities in permutating functions is a technique to let the design of unlimited increase be an implicit element unfunded by energy. Patterns are illimitable, energy and mass are not.

We were led to believe the perspective of origins evolving through base pair constructions providing redundant temporal lines of computation.

Darwin’s gambit was a fair enough move against players without double, simultaneous tensors of quantum calculating holisms. Bacalar, if he expressed emotion, might express bemused incredulity at the move. He invested solely in hyper-dimensional constructions. I wondered if he had any ethics or moral beliefs that could let him infer the transcendent nature of the good. Perhaps it isn’t possible.

On stage Darwin’s Gambit was attempting envelopment. The progression assembled seven dimensional surges moving time to flicker backwards and fizzle against the reinforced walls of entropy Bacalar had placed within his unknown, unrecognized strategy. For the moment we remained to watch the game.

Ortiagon said ‘This is an exciting match don’t ya think? Balacar’s opponent ran a series of complex functions incompletely redefining the past and lost his place in the game.’

Ortiagon don’t you believe yourself that human life is a product of Darwin’s Gambit in an undefined finite series?

If a finite sinusoidal wave generating life exists it occurs phenomenally within a space-time continuum-a line within a hyper-cube. Its temporal dimensions are as apparent as they are surreal, as contingent upon hyper-reality as sub-dimensions are within meta-space.

If we are to observe reality, we need be limited to three spatial dimensions and of time. The spatial line of travel in more than three dimensions doesn’t allow coherent statistical ordering of atoms and larger structures in forms able to support carbon based life.

“Or any other form of biological life I would think. Still, hyper-dimensional life might exist in other forms’ said Ortiagon.

Yes Ortiagon, it’s an interesting thought.

Walking in the crowd through the lobby I thought that this should be an interesting game. Balacar’s opponent might survive a few rounds.

A Few Words About Moose

If circumstances provide an opportunity to spend much time sharing of moose habitat one may have the good luck to spend some time observing the interesting creatures. Because Moose are a kind of large deer and thus herbivorous (no horned animals are carnivors) they are more inclined to run when surprised by human beings.

Don't count on the moose scampering away however. Bull moose may have a run at you if it seems necessary. If its a bull try to not close the distance with the moose too much, for at some point it may choose to charge and you may need to dodge behind a tree.

When approaching moose whistle a little in a friendly way, or talk at them as if they were a curious horse-they may stop running and stay put. Short lived wild animals haven't always learned to fear humans-and moose have comparatively few natural enemies-human beings don't resemble wolves or dogs that moose probably hate.

In winter when snow coveground moose eat smaller branches of deciduous trees. They hunker down in the snow with their legs under them-legs that don't have much in the way of blood flow so that the spindly things don't freeze up as would bare human legs in zero degree weather eventually.

Moose and deer have the same disinterest as might a human in avoiding injury caused by running full speed to avoid predators through a dense and sharp forest environment-keep your dogs on a leash if possible for they give deer hell generally in the chase. Even the slick highway surfaces with compact snow and ice may cause a moose to slip and break a leg so it can hobble about with three good legs and one right angled foreleg until someone is kind enough to give it a home in their freezer.

For many of us visitors to the vanishing world of nature Moose are the closest thing we seem to that pleistocene America remaining. In winter moose even remind us a little of the shape of American buffalo with a larger front end than back, dark, shaggy locks of hair and icy breath-what else is left in America besides the flourishing American possum to remind us of the healthy way things were when our forbears wandered into the new world 25,000 years ago?

A String Across the Universe ©2011GaryCGibson (poem)

Spoken with infinite variations on a tone wave
the multi-dimensional string of functions
reached with time the unity
of clouds imaged through light
glistening with space streaming
along with infinite tomorrows
realized through branches beginning

Jacob's ladder through virtual nothingness driving line sections too
circles and filling in membranes of functions consistent with constructions

God remaining living eternally
though His Son died
along the road of functions
resurrected spiritually
beyond flypaper super-string
helixes
catching so many human souls
with oppulent illusions of permanence
beyond the next turn

It's a brilliant creation
in its journey through enigmatic darkness
living with opportunity to be and become
start ups for God
with redemption from the Son

Quantum calculations of creation
waveform strains of temporal flux
simultaneous series of energetic additions
permutating functions in starry designs of dust.

Trump & Huckabee Out-Gingrich, Paul In Republican Presidential Race, Waiting for Godot

The race for the Republican 2012 Presidential candidacy is shaping up. Donald Trump declined to become a candidate as has former Arkansas Governor and T.V. show host Mike Huckabee. Two old war horses-Ron Paul and Newt Gingrich have entered the race to provide color and background for the likely eventual winner former Governor of Massachusetts Mitt Romney.

Romney runs well against Obama as the Presidents only major legislative victory was getting a botched up version of the Romney health plan foisted on the public. Romney has rightly said the reason his plan was good for Massachusetts was that the people of that state wanted it-it was not forced upon them as was Obama care.

In Alaska and Kentucky for example, the well oiled fully insured prosperous class will grit their teeth and let the poor bite the bullet of health care costs when need be-if the poor can afford any.

Independents might like to have a Jacque Cousteau sensibility in a Presidential contender-a Henry Ford of diving, or a younger, smarter, cheaper Ralph Nadir-even Joe Stiglitz with a wildcat candidacy. They know however that you can't always get the candidates you want, and hence must run the candidates you have. Waiting for Godot-the ideal candidate, can be unprofitable, except in a soteriological context.

The United States has a 14 trillion dollar federal debt so balancing the budget and paying down the debt swiftly is a way to save 3/4s of a trillion dollars in interest on the debt right now. That is necessary so the nation will have the ability to loan or give a trillion or two as needed to Wall Street, Bankers and global investors in U.S. mortgages or insurance companies should their financial speculations ever have trouble. The rich are too big to fail or tax realistically and need the full guarantee of the U.S. Government at all times to enable ten percent of Americans to be jobless.

The U.S. Government also must be able to fund trillion dollar dictator removal and nation building reconstruction in oil producing nations in order to allow women to have equal rights to be C.E.O.'s of major corporations. The best chance for that happening in Libya or Iran, Iraq or Nigeria is to stop federal spending on regulations that slow down domestic oil exploration or federal spending that unrealisticly foists a delusion on Americans that anything besides petroleum products can fuel American transportation.

If this seems a little facetious-its because it is. The prospects for electing a good U.S. President able to comprehend nationalism, environmental economics, full employment and so forth are virtually nil.

On 'Crude World' by Peter Maass and other topics

Oil and its economic impact upon users and producers (addicts and suppliers) has been a topic of popular analysis by numerous authors over the decades. 'The Seven Sisters' was one such book that detailed the rise of the Rockefeller Standard oil monopoly and its break up. This book published in 2009 by Peter Maass is in the style of new journalism-with much global first person interviews with prominent persons in oil producing nations and other principal persons.

http://www.petermaass.com/books/crude_world/

I have yet to complete reading this book, and perhaps will resume reading later today. Skipping about a bit from Equatorial Guinea and a dictator that may have eaten the balls and brains of a defeated rival (those were the missing parts of the corpse) sent billions through Washington D.C. Rigg's bank, we discover interesting facts about Guinea and the insularity of the Texas oil men working the claim, learn of the corrupting nature of oil development on economics-I guess it produces dictators or Chavez' generally with the U.S. Government preferring the former and move beyond basic Hilbert peak production criteria to information about problems in over-producing oil fields and the effect on reducing oil available from the field.

With world oil supplies having reached peak production and demand increasing, the prospect for long range price increases is apparent, yet even more obvious is the deleterious effect of fossil fuel use on American national economic development through its excessive opportunity costs and pervasive corruption of the social order-making a trophic order relationship to the principal oil controller of fundamental political-economic importance.

Libya has 43 billion barrels of oil reserves, the U.S.A. an inflated 30 billion, Saudi Arabia 264 billion, and Canada, Mexico, Venezuela and Saudi Arabia are our largest suppliers of crude oil. The extent to which U.S. economic development and foreign policy is determined by access to oil is rather remarkable. The political difficulties involved in breaking off reliance on fossil fuels are obvious and fundamental. While Mexico and Canada could perhaps sell their oil to China if the United States were intelligent enough to invent a better way of producing and using energy nationally, the political ability to accomplish such a transition while good for the environment would be locally thwarted by vested interests like as not.

Spring Flooding on Alaska's Kuskokwim River

Reportedly a dozen homes were flooded by the rapidly rising waters. At least most of the homeowners have lots on which they might rebuild a small hut to survive the brutal winter just a few months away.

http://www.adn.com/2011/05/11/1857898/kuskokwim-flood-rose-so-fast-residents.html

Unlike Mississippi River floods that predictably increase vertically instead of horizontally because of extensive trapping of waters within dykes or levies, Alaskan rivers may experience ice jams after break up in unforseen locales.

Maybe the Louisianna delta could recover a little if more levies were removed and new low cost floating dome homes were constructed behind inland breakwaters.

A new industry might manufacture curved plywood dome sections and curved beams in order to allow construction of a very strong, steel reinforced wood chip composite dome on a well-engineered round trimaran hull-base with hurricane anchors and quick release cables set in the ground in order to allow the home to survive 200 m.p.h. winds from tornados. A retirement dome for two should sell for 25,000 dollars or less minus lot.

Probably no political candidates support low-cost floating homes for the delta that would be designed to float upon river flooding.

Roofing the domes would be a two-stage process that would be temporally extended. Stage one is a complete coating and seam taping with three rolled on coatings of fiberglass resin or marine epoxy. As the dome would then be water protected the second roofing material could be accomplished with a variety of aesthetic mediums.

Like the hull of a small boat their should be frame reinforcing around the circular hull at three levels. The dome should be raised off the level of the deck a few iches and thoroughly coated with resin to prevent water damage to the curved planking.

I am not aware of any such simple 4 hour prefab dome home manufacturing plant in the Mississippi Delta region or the Kuskokwim, yet perhaps a market exists for low-cost retirement and enviropnmentally durable, solar panel coated green housing even in a fatuous housing market.

A Website to Process Digital Camaera Data Would be Useful

I believe that one must generally own a computer in order to process digital pictures. There are actually more than a few people that might buy a digital camera around the world and use it on-line if there were a way to upload the data to online picture processing at no cost. That seems like a potential new business opportunity to sell advertising.

For digital photo processing one must install a programming on one's personal computer that interprets the raw picture data and makes it uncoded friendly for general jpg use and so forth. If there was a website that had every digital camera manufacturers software online and processed incoming raw data, or if each manufacture offered free photo processing online, they would be able to sell advertising and far more digital cameras to people that haven't got a computer with them.

If more Africans had digital cameras, a myriad of news photos from current events along with pictures of endangered species from deep in the wild might be taken before such opportunties disappear beneath chain saw, parking lots and conversion of rivers into drainage ditches. It is unreasonable to expect every poor potential photographer in the Ivory Coast to own a web-book computer though to process their pictures. With quick on-line processing maybe they would have access to a public computer for on-line photo processing opportunities however.

Journalism should not be a mob-support activity in support of political elites and special interests running roughshod over individuals. If democracy is to prevail a little with enough social and environmental reason to satisfy even Socrates the people should be their own local journalists fully armed with digital photo processing opportunities.

The pampas of Argentina and pinnacles of Peru may look better from the more realistic digital lens of locals than through the lens of journalist Liberace's on chic safaris. Sure there is a place for elite, international boundry crossing broadcasters employed by powerful poltiical organizations and corporations with extreme concentrated wealth (I suppose allow I am not sure where that is), and there is even more the reason for free on-line digital photo processing for poor 2nd and 3rd world picture takers without a computer or 4G wireless.
