Labor Exhaust of Southern History

The battle to get single line spacing between paragraphs is tough, so

The history of cheap labor in the American south I suppose still exists with the influx of illegal aliens, yet that has no meaningful comparison to the southern slavery tradition with class segregation. the north fought the south to defeat the creep of aristocracy that threatened whites too, yet the whites of the south tended to support the established power that owned most of the slaves as a kind of oligarchy that Socrates or Plato might have thought well of.

Today the southern comfort for the middle class of Texas seems to be a kind of mediocrity with some excellence of course wherein whites need only lift weights somewhat in youth to get a full paying job. people should not be afraid to be smart, or distance runners instead of being muscular as a graduate of a state penitentiary. Work is a virtue, yet the unexamined life and uncreativity making one defend and automobile-stick frame expansion culture at the cost of environment displacement is not.. The construction industry and expansion of new neighborhoods of virtual 400,000 row homes provides Dallas and points north a present and future, while the broadcast media seems like a kind of ad hoc clan support coordinating the balance of power that exists rather easily between the races.

Some unthinking white guys take for granted that one must be like them entirely economically speaking with no brain or change desired or required. Many Hispanics dropped out of school to work in the building trade having no faith in the advantages of higher education. Education for white guys is no great advantage unless it is very technically specialized.  Straight white males are a real American minority in the post-affirmative action era realignment and can be unemployed forever with a four-year degree and even graduate education. I hope to find work painting a house, or being sedentary in simple unchallenging post able to afford a bucket of the Colonel's spicy chicken now and then, when not trying to write something after work.

In times past slave labor was how one differentiated oneself as a wealthy individual. large homes had many slaves from the Egyptian and Roman era to the present. After mechanization made that obsolete much of society knew not how to adapt to the need for a new social egalitarianism accentuating the positive advantages of democracy stressing the pursuit of individual excellence and creativity rather than class supremacy. I think many Americans including those newly arrived to social empowerment have a hard time letting that go.

There was a fellow from Connecticut that moved to Sherman Texas before the civil war and sided with the rebels. He built himself a fine house, or perhaps cheap labor built it. Capt. Birge was unlucky not to have got a Colonel title before his name, yet what the heck.

Hunting Seasons for Cattle on U.S. Public Lands?

Public lands of the U.S. Government should have some hunting opportunities for all non-human life on them unless they are a threatened species, an endangered species., or a specific population is necessary for maintaining balanced ecospheric health. Cattle on public lands unless an endangered species should be declared public domain and given over to regular game management for hunters.

Public ranging cattle could comprise a health threat to homeless people as blood media repositories of West Nile virus and other communicable diseases. Vast herds of domesticated bovines may be blood swamps of disease, and the owners including the public should be held accountable. Hunting down the cattle on public lands should be a priority of the center for disease control in Atlanta. Any cattle allowed to exist as an endangering to human health species should be carefully screened annually and certified as disease-free before being released as eligible for hunting season.

Much of the debate about the right of royal prerogative for elite ranchers to run cattle on public land for free forage neglects the existential facts of life; all animals on public lands are in the public domain and subject to federal management. Hence the public has a right to hunt free ranging cattle on public lands in regular hunting order. Fall hunting season should include the harvest of reasonable numbers of non-endangered species cattle in time for thanksgiving dinner.

Cattle that inadvertently stray or are misled from private land to the public should be given a grace period of 2 or 3 days to leave the hunting ground. With the tracking chips implanted in cattle there is little excuse for their presence upon public land unless they too wish to take their chances in the wild rather than meet certain death after a brief life of 2 or 3 years of being prepped for harvest.

In order to help pay off the U.S. public debt and provide meat for hamburgers of the poor yearning for barbecue a cattle hunting permit should be sold for about $100. maintaining a reasonable cattle population to keep a hunting season viable isn't a required tasks for the government, yet since there is presently an adequate cattle supply it is an opportunity for the government to serve the public rather than special, ersatz royal interests.

Megyn Kelly Upstaged Presidential Debate

Though affirmative action stars regard their class interests as more important than those of the nation, or at least feel their class self-interests the sole meaningful politics, it is unfortunate when broadcast media people like Megyn Kelly become the issue rather than the candidates interacting amongst themselves for the benefit of the voters.

If Fox were responsible it could have used a public domain text speech synthesizer read the debate questions. The questions could have been selected with approval from the candidates as juries are selected with each side free to disqualify a few, and when the candidates time was up the microphones should go silent. 

The public then watches the spectacle, along with the Megyn Kellys of the world.

Fox's making an entertainment event of the debate is in a way an assertion of the hegemony the broadcast media has over the political process...it wants someone corrupted good enough for corporatism and the new world order.

What Would the Cost of Another Texan War President Be?

Presidents from Texas have always found a way to ensnare the U.S.A. into protracted foreign wars with indecisive resolution. The past three Texan Presidents have run up something like ten trillion dollars in war and its aftermath costs (adjusted for inflation). It isn't likely the nation could afford another round of muddled wars that primarily benefit defense contractors with a U.S. deficit already moving toward 20 trillion dollars.

Neither may the nation have the luxury of ignoring what people think or of caring too much about their foreign opinion regarding U.S. economic priorities for ecospheric business transition to full employment and rectifictatiion of environmental health.

Wild Shores Vanish With Death of a Thousand Development Cuts

The creeping loss of natural shoreline evolves over time with careless human development. Though public lands exist for the many, for the poor and middle class, there are those that feel they as private citizens have some inalienable right to exploit the common heritage of mankind for their exclusive personal enrichment.

Just because some western public lands have low population density it doesn't mean that the hundreds of millions living in major cities have less right of ownership of those lands than local exploiters on-the-spot that would plunder anything worth a buck and then pave it over. It

It isn't always the case that the locals, illegal aliens, recent immigrants from underdeveloped countries and international predators are evil and unconcerned about the survival of the ecosphere in a healthy condition, sometimes they are simply stupid and /or ignorant and don't know any better.

Wrangell Alaska is an example. With a plentiful supply of sand available in the nearby wild Stikine River delta-one of the final great wild river systems in the U.S.A., it is too tempting for business not to fill in substantial areas of Wrangell Island's northernmost shoreline region facing the delta. Filling in the wetland and natural shoreline with a berm, rock and gravel to make a larger industrial docking area does make it less useful for the wildlife that formerly used it such as sea lion, deer and seals.

I usually I have no ecospheric concerns to write about. Since the Wrangell mill closed in 1994 and I was financially compelled to sell my 'lem' in 2008 I grew less interested in local insults to the wild habitat. With about 3/4s of a million people in the entire state of Alaska and with select global corporations in paying for state government one can get real economic reprisals for writing environmental conservation stuff publically. Yet even a modest social philosophy activity should comment on environmental trends affecting life on Earth.

S.E. Alaska and the Alexander Archipelago is comparable loosely to the Maine shoreline plus 50 miles inland. Imagine if it could have remained undeveloped and a wildlife refuge until today. Life on the East coast would be much better. A light rail from Boston and New York could take hikers, campers and backpackers to great fishing and viewing areas. There probably would still be a good commercial fishery in New England. S.E. Alaska is an endangered intact coastal wilderness in reasonably good health. The crass commercial interests that would tear it down piece by piece have the full support of the state legislature of course. Too few comprehend what piece by piece cuts-small cuts to the wilderness map do to erase it over time.

I used to put my boat ashore after rowing several miles when visiting town for supplies 20 years ago. I wrote a letter to the editor complaining about the loss of wetland near the grocery store on the other side of the north end of the island about 20 years ago too . I think the same people and insiders get state and federal government contracts as insiders to build things. They want 5 million to renew a decrepit small boat harbor; yet who would get that money I wonder (there are fewer than 2000 people that live here).. In the approx. 20 years I owned a retirement lot on the island year with only a small construction shed on it that would wait until I retired as an educator (that never happened) I earned fewer than $200 dollars here. I have no interest in the Wrangell economy and long ago got used to travelling outside to earn money painting as far as Florida, South Carolina and Texas before returning. I rode 25 or 30 thousand miles on a bicycle around the U.S.A. looking for work. Time passes and one becomes realistic about things.

The area being slowly buried for progress is rather scenic yet profit calls and cheap sand for making concrete requires cheap support structures. The current 'reclamation' of the healthy shoreline for industrial use is south of the airport a little. The airport is also on a filled in area. The river is two or three miles away over shallow water that could one day be bridged with a causeway to access the Stikine River corridor to the Canadian interior and highway system. Most of American rivers have been converted into drainage ditches. The Houston Texas storm water runoff canals have fish about as large as chum salmon such as can't be caught well from the shore any more with too much commercial fishing. Stikine River salmon are shrinking in size and numbers too. Maybe one day it will be a drainage ditch as well.

Developing a roadway to the Stikine would be another environmental abomination, yet nature has a losing record against human developers. Dull, thoughtless cheap profit takers for-themselves run roughshod over the wild areas of the world advancing a collective habitat loss. Already islands up the delta have been sliced up for housing developments. Farm Island is one where subdivisions are taking hold. The gradually destruction of S.E. Alaska's wild health will produce a large loss for Americans. If one takes a look at the northern hemisphere from space any summer, the S.E. coastal region is one of the few places on Earth besides the shrinking polar ice cap, Greenland and some melting glaciers in the Himalayas with much ice and snow. It is unlikely that human life will outlast by much the loss of most wild habitat. The ecospherically profligate just keep going at it like termites. Miners in Canada are already going ahead with a huge waste water and mine tailings reservoir up the river. Metal is valuable, yet so are fish and all the wildlife that need a healthy waterway. Look at Puget Sound and what a pitiful, ugly mess it became. S.E. Alaska is destined for the same. In the absence of rational environmental leadership by narrow minded, ignorant environmental savages the evolution of doom of life on Earth at least profits those with the worst environmental consciences.

Saudi Arabian Top Cleric Issues Fatwa Against Chess

The fatwa by Saudi Arabia's top Muslim cleric is pay back for the domination of the chess world over the last century by Jewish chess players I suppose. An article referred to below notes that Muslim antipathy toward game of chess has gone on for more than a 1000 years. Fischer, Kasparov, Lasker, Morphy and other best-on-Earth chess players all had some of that Jewish blood running through their brain. One wonders if chess isn't a small part of the divine plan for saving the lost people of Earth teleologically speaking.

Palau, Chess & ISIS Terrorists

I was playing internet chess today when the computer matched me with someone from Palau. They refused to play writing that "sorry, your government (U.S.) supports ISIS terrorists". Was that an objective opinion?

Subjectivity and the Schrödinger Wave (function)

Here are my thoughts on the topic. The wavefunction could be a state of mind, of subjective experience, yet it might be a problem of the criterion, that is within an Everettian interpretation mind or experience moves through a multidimensional matrix. I think that is not entirely inconsistent with the Copenhagen interpretation epistemology viewing matter and energy through a glass darkly with partial certainty.

Wave-particle superposition is a paradigm of contemporary thought about how the quantum fields exist that could be inaccurate, so the Copenhagen paradigm could be incapable of determining what's what though useful in the standard model field for working with matter. That would comprise a philosophical and pragmatic difference of depth.

There are innumerable forms the fundamental field could be in to allow the appearance of quanta and space-time to exist along with faster-than-light distance interval transcendence. People naturally think of circles and spherical packing with a unitary field shaking or vibrating to emit one-dimensional membranes building up to large quanta. All that minimalist quanta remains tied into the the unitary field and might be regarded as complex illusions that are yet real for building up to a level where self-awareness occurs experiencing the steady state temporal field as real. Transcending experimentally to deeper micro levels through space-time to forms of quanta outside of time individually as quanta may let innumerable relativity breaking phenomenal observations to occur.

ISIS Presents Utilitarian Threat to Britain

ISIS head chopping video presented an implicit utilitarian threat to Britain and its homosexual marriage queendom recently. The Queen of England is technically head of the Church of England that must be apostate with its homosexual marriage social environment--at least the Queen has not been a notable opponent of making sin official U.K. policy. However the Footsie continues and England will always have a utilitarian threat from middle eastern Muslims that exemplify the pragmatic utility of terror against an impractical predatory pusillanimous state.

http://www.usnews.com/news/articles/2016-01-25/isis-threatens-uk-in-new-video-showing-paris-attackers

One naturally sympathizes with those whose heads were chopped yet not with the corrupt U.K. leadership that leads the way on godless atheism around the planet it would like to recolonize with doctrine in support of new age imperialism.

England should be more interested on colonizing worlds without sentient life that won't be harmed bite godless atheism it likes in its serpentine fashion than in making the U.S. a useless finance economy with corrupt deficit spending and vast balanced national debt looking to Prince Charlie for leadership over the youth knighthood states.

Natural Robotic Funkbrawl Space X Development League

One wonders if the American addiction to viewing full contact sports won't transition to real-world gaming of full contact robot football able to play old style with crack-back blocking and roughing the kicker. It could be that sometimes kickers need to be roughed to win a game. Perhaps robots will be drones operated by remote controlling players.

Team sports played by remote controlled robot operators would be a difficult intellectual challenge for the operators. It would also create a research and development utility for making improvements to the use of robotic controlled by humans directly in off-world environments. N.A.S.A. should consider becoming involved with a National Robot Football League. How useful would it be to have simple robots to move solar panels into the sunshine in lunar crater dwellings? I would think that knightly jousting might return when killing the opponent doesn't involve a biological fatality and just a mess of circuits and plastic reading a teleprompter's script.

Will the power brokers resist robotic football leagues and planetary exploration? Some people would expand mud-brick building economics for the next 1000 years with an unrealistic notion of expansion regarding environmental limits, many of those people are in the broadcast media, yet like drug addicts given a new drug, if adapted to new technologies and environmental rectification broadcast media bloviators will religiously support the new tech dope. It may be hard to believe the broadcast media would give up the Pharonic ideal of new improved bricks mini-mansions in comfort for-themselves with illicit, stupid broadcast prouder power that dies only when their dessicated corpses drop them off the deep end unto eternal punishment . Yet they shall give up persecuting the poor and homeless campers yearning to be free of the broadcast media's existence so they can live in a free society with equal opportunity when it becomes counter-productive for them to remange as existential threats and domestic ad hoc terrorists/organized crime above-the-law and legal remdies. No problem.

Whenever robot bodies increase their physicall skills, agility, durability and so forth their use in making repairs to the outside of space stations or in digging ditches or rescuing explorers on the moon, Mars, Venus or the undiscovered moons of the undiscovered giant planet X increase. Football is a very challenging and realistic field for making robot bodies that work, and that increase the efficiency, decrease the cost, improve the adaptability of the planetary and space exploration tools.

When grenade launchers putting out tennis balls are adapted to super-sized gold courses and when artificial scuba diving saltwater ecosystems are commercialized in northern locales the business of synthetic gaming will have taken another step forward into the twilight zone of games actualized in v.d.t.'s

Emerging Styles of Trucking and Postal Service Automation

The future of the nation's transportation infrastructure should be a field expected to rapidly evolve. Transportation costs drive up the price of consumer goods and also make the nation a more expensive place to manufacture items for export. A profusion of coders and self-driving truck emergency remote control mediator-operators are compatible with national education trends in support of competitive values in regard to international competition.

It is unfortunate that the advance of technological innovation displaces workers in established fields. If there was an ordinary effort to retrain displaced field workers to construct the new field tech application it would decrease the stress. There should be many construction jobs developing energy and intelligence collection and distribution access points along lanes designed for self-driving trucks.

Self-driving trucks appear to be an inevitable evolution in the nation's trucking fleet. Self-driving trucks can work 24 hours strait without mandatory stops for driver time off, dinner breaks or urination. Truck owners with free drivers 300% more efficient will have a substantial financial advantage over those with human drivers. Self-driving truck AI. systems will also be able to communicate and coordinate with other trucks better over the road to allow seamless, uncomplicated packaging of truck routes.

While it may be five years before half of the nation's highways have self-driving trucks. Even before then some freeway planners may consider constructing dedicated lanes for electric self-driving trucks drawing power from an in-highway line. Why stop for fuel?

It may also be that someone will innovate new ways to change flat tires on-the-move without stopping. Without human operators an increase in tire changing technology will probably arise.

Like trucking the postal delivery system is also likely to experience increased automation in the next several years. Intelligent, reusable postal packaging may replace individually packaged containers for shipping articles. Reusable packages with artificial intelligence will eliminate the need for using tape or glue for closure or written addressing each of which may slow processing. Intelligent package containers will use Bluetooth or other short-range wireless signal to coordinate and direct their shipment itinerary without need for human handling.

Intelligent packaging will have a collateral application of discerning smuggling of illicit goods for-themselves and when included in national and international shipments as discrete units amongst units.

Postal deliveries may involve drone aircraft to increase routes,range and speed of delivery to remote postal processing hubs in addition to self driving trucks full of packages that sorted and loaded themselves.

Regular street postal deliveries by self-driving postal vehicles may use self-driving or artificially intelligent servo-bots to walk mail to the door drop. The postal AI systems may also be used as reliable police auxiliaries on the alert for ad hoc criminal activity through their optic and audio input. The nation's highways may be made safer with self-driving delivery vehicles equipped with radar and observation cameras to help hunt down air polluters and drunk drivers.

V.P. Biden Saber Rattling With Turkey on Syria

U.S. Vice President Joe Biden wishing to sound fair and balanced as an unbiased Democrat observer on the Syrian civil war reportedly said the United States is prepared to accelerate war on Syria with help from Turkey if it can't get what it wants in the negotiated political settlement talks on-going. The close Obama administration partnership with Turkey on intimidating Syria to annex another nation to the new world order appears potential unfair to the Kurdish fighters in the region whom are overwhelmingly more deserving of a synthetic new state than Turkey-the former imperial power in the region.

http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-turkey-biden-idUSKCN0V10J9

It would be far better if President Obama in his lame duck year were to focus on getting Texans to innovate constructing artificial mountain range condominiums north of Dallas to create 3x the surface area when making housing instead of just closing off all surface area. Artificial mountain range housing developments can create new ecosphere for wildlife and have far better interior hanging garden/saltwater evaporation and fresh water making condensation values foe mariculture than asphalt beshingled stick frame housing developments.

Plainly the President should be finding ways to extend the Dallas Orange light rail line to Tulsa-yet the jewels of Syria call I suppose.

Race Class Consciousness and the Logic of Black and White

Having learned classical and symbolic logic before continuing on to read analytic philosophy and the philosophy of logic my point of view of social political class consciousness issues tends I hope toward the objective. If the point of democratic politics is to assure equal protection of the law and the social and legal equality of all citizens within secure borders then objective use of linguistic criteria for class social references should be uninhibited by biases of political correctness for or against particular social classes.

It cannot be just the media and government that are free to liberally employ racial class designators in political polls, census demographics, various recruitment quotas and so forth. Ordinary people and academics also need be free to be realistic in addressing political class differentia if democracy is to defend the rights of the citizens and fundamental rights of citizenship. If Muslim terrorists target Germans or fellow Africans in death distribution sprees for political and sectarian purposes for example, the racial class object of wrath is meaningful to recognize for security purposes.

If objective political analysis is to function well to serve social reality and purposes for equal protection of the law then racial class consciousness terminology when used should be nondiscriminatory regarding preferential treatment for any given class. Like Venn diagrams with given set members that might be placed in any valid position the world of political discourse will not be able to find true analysis nor serve all citizens equally well if particular set member terms are banned from use. If black class consciousness in political movements like the 'black lives matter' movement of the Obama administration are valid and socially acceptable then so must 'white history month' or 'news for Chinese people'.

These terms must be regarded as valid class designators employed phenomenally to advance the interests of members on given issues comparable to set membership in a class action lawsuit rather than as bigoted organization that should be repressed. The mildly editorial and somewhat anonymous power of political correctness that suppresses universal fair logical terminology for select social classes works against the existence of an objective and even scientifically rigorous political lexicon that can objectively consider the validity of all social and political claims, assertions and expressions without fear. In such a globally information rich era the failure to be free to employ class designators objectively would create notable gaps in efficient social analysis not to mention liberty.

Philosophy as an objective social science employing logical parameters for political analysis would create a modal Universe wherein all class assertions might be quantified after expression in logical terms. Claims of white class interest or black, brown or red could be placed within nation-class boundaries as well as international boundaries comprising classes for comparative and quantified analysis with a variety of potential sub-class and macro-class elements added. Like various sorts of physics and chemistry formulas that may while remaining consistent with empirical rules creatively express new propositions, social consciousness and socially unconscious class values may be formalized for the purpose of discovering truth regarding political power and the effectiveness of state intervention to promote a fair and just social equilibrium.

The citizens of a democracy in the modern world exist within a social stasis with innumerable interactive 'future shock' factors of communication. The expressions of power in the polity through mass communications and indirectly through surveillance support the usurpation of political power from the people unto concentrated and faceless power. A partial antidote to that would be a return to the strength of democracy in free speech without fear of being labeled a user of hate speech or bigot for considering racial class and directing news to particular targeted audiences objectively when it is useful to do so. White Americans have as much natural right to defend their class interests as blacks, browns and yellow Americans. It is in the obscurantism through repression of class rights that corruption cinches up gains of power and wealth from the masses. It is in the failure to objectively consider real social and political states of affairs that corrupt power redistributes wealth and power toward imperial and global sinkholes.

A healthy democracy defends in own borders more readily and well than it pursues imperial global interests and supports conflicts abroad with military and financial support for regime changes. It balances its budget, has little or no public debt, supports a minimum income for all citizens, health coverage for all without distributing personal information abroad and is cognizant that the economy needs to be adapted to be consistent with existential mass social well being within a recovering ecosphere rich with wildlife and wild regions. Objective political and social class analysis and free expression cannot be restricted from objective use of real social designators and classes when the real interests of the citizens are quantitatively considered. People should not be frightened of the truth, instead they should be informed bite it.
