Reading through another book after completing ‘The Balkan Wars’ I expect to discover more evidence of human political folly, well, one can always go to the other planet I suppose where things are more regularly Utopian in nature.
A Utopian development of the planet Mars may develop in the future, yet some historians believe that another Serbian-Kosovo conflict may occur first following the depopulation of Kosovo of Serbs pervasively since the N.A.T.O. intervention. The topic of the Islamic Revolution of The Ayatollah Ruhallah Khomeini unto the present day of Iranian President Ahmadinejab continues illustrating the talking past each other feature of political relationships. Each side is attempting to exert its political goals, and of course the assertion of universal goals allows a transcending of domestic political issues nicely consolidating things for politicians.
Is the United States of America in its new era of moral and ecological depravity truly the Great Satan or is that just an Iranian polemical label used to declare a moral jihad? Did Iran actually declare war upon the United States with the Embassy hostage taking in 1979 and continue it through a series of low level; terrorist skirmishes including a number of proxy agents?
Philosophically one may view political weltanschauungs of a pluralistic context as more common in the tech communication era. America as an ambassador of atheism and decay may be a natural progression from its dependence upon a mature national industrial and technological infrastructure. The United States is also a puppet of Great Britain’s need to have a world without financial borders able to replace its lost colonial empire. A decadent United States with so many Toynbean end-of cycle signs is simpler to manipulate away from rational ecospheric and moral conservativism.
Without the monochromatic political world views of the non-technological communications era that allowed the Balkan nations to have sufficient opportunity for political privacy that real violent revolutionary militias could form to oppose empires such as the Ottoman, Hapsburg, French or Russian now and then, the Iranian-American dialectical political evolutions tends to follow a more bellicose and assertive shouting match format with little progress toward a better ecospheric economic evolution of values. Several alternatives ways of looking at the world exist in each nation of course, some more sober than others.
The United States like a weak alcoholic has become incapable of getting off dependence on the bottle of fossil fuels. Since President Carter’s day the U.S.A. has sought in vain to move on to fuels besides gasoline imported from Saudi Arabia. President Amahdinejab realized that Muhammad was successful at defeating civilizations from a position in the center of world commerce. Iran, Afghanistan and Saudi Arabia is again at the center of world civilization and commerce of oil, while the United States is a morally corrupted advocate of atheism and homosexual marriages fighting to get a spot at the spigot of middle eastern oil to fuel its century old internal combustion engine dependent lifestyle. Plainly wars such as those of ‘revolutionary’ North Africa play into the plans of Islamic extremists. President Amadinejab may have already sent a letter to President Obama asking him to convert to Islam, as The Ayatollah Khomeini did to President Gorbachev, and as Mohammad did to the Byzantine Emperor.
Over a century ago there were no machines able to provide power for mass personal transportation through the American wilderness-then came the internal combustion engine. That first industrial technology remains America’s contemporary techno-transport power. The nation’s seduction to automotive hedonism has sated their appetite for transportation advance. The reliance on internal combustion engines and fossil fuels has made America seem like a nation of swine waiting to be slopped with cheap fossil fuels. Accordingly the U.S.A. has failed to advance to stage 2 or even stage 3 transportation modalities that use no fossil fuel and that do not harm the ecosphere of the nation.
In 1988 the U.S. Navy sank most of the effective Iranian Navy in the Persian Gulf, yet earlier President Reagan had withdrawn American Marines from Lebanon after 247 were killed by a Shiite suicide bomber. The mission of the United States in Beirut evidently was to protect Palestinians--President Regan might have realized that the mission was morally wrong for American and withdrew. Political purposes count as much as the means of accomplishing them.
Some view U.S. Democracy with a bifurcation between old style morality and Godliness and new style immorality and atheism. Democracy may be regarded as a fig leaf for atheist imperial hegemony at home and abroad. Ecocide may be a consequence of old style classical economics of The New World Order while alternatively, The Islamic Republic may seek to lead a recrudescent Islamic Global Empire for itself. Protracted U.S. military deployments to Islamic nations will increase the Islamisation of American service personnel and bring more of the creed of Mecca to the United States legally and illegally over-the border.
I tend to believe that the better U.S. policy would be to assert an ecospheric economics with zero illegal immigration and restore a moral, fully employed America. An ecosphere friendly, low entropy high quality economic policy could serve as a good example to developing nations. Admiral Mullins, Secdef Gates and President Obama seem to have a goal of making atheist homosexuality the military mission of the U.S.A. though. It is an effort to rejoin Pangaea that King Canute would have marveled upon.

Apocalpse Scheduled for Hubble Space Telescope
With the Hubble Space Telescope, human sight has boldly gone where no human vision has gone before. The views of the Hubble Ultra Deep Field series brought visions of galaxies created when the universe was less than a billion years old. N.A.S.A. plans to order the space telescope to activate a small steering rocket in a few years, enter the Earth’s upper atmosphere and burn up in a bright ball of friction flame because U.S. bureaucrats have run out of ideas of anything more useful to do with the brilliant relic of an era of excellence besides ordering it to self-destruct.
The disposable American political ethos has tragically and profligately scheduled the apocalypse for the Hubble Space Telescope. Even though it will be comparatively less modern than the newer James Webb infrared super-giant space telescope scheduled to go up soon the Hubble still would be valuable for a variety of presently unknown future applications.
What can be done with the Hubble; auction it on E-Bay so a private space firm can buy it and move it to some orbital location and perhaps repair it one day? Move it to a stationary orbit Mars? Some use for space materials other than burning them up in the Earth’s atmosphere should become a normal policy- maybe the Hubble could be used to make ice cream or serve as a dog house at a future moon base. Enable the Hubble to make a soft landing on the moon or just send it until on a slow journey around Jupiter until future space farers reclaim it for use-nothing can be as wasteful as just burning it to ashes.

Recurrent Cycle of Evolutionary Capitalism
A recurring cycle of capital concentration in historical evolution is the fundamental post hunter-gathering economic practice of mankind. For reasons of brevity I shall refrain from citing countless historical examples of the point from ancient Rome, to monarchy, feudalism and so forth. From an egalitarian apportionment of natural wealth competition drives the concentration of wealth and power that upon reaching stagnation at the highest feasible form of concentration is broken up with violent revolution to resume the cycle from a new egalitarian foundation.
With the simultaneous progress of human knowledge and technology subsequent cycles of capital concentration resume at a higher level of foundational wealth than previous beginnings. Through history several economic and social analysts have viewed selective stages of the recurrent capital cycles of evolution and have advanced theories about how a ‘fair’ redistribution of wealth might be made. Karl Marx was such an historical figure, who did not recognize, like so many others, that the evolutionary advance of capital concentration cannot be arrested at any particular point and continue to function as a progressive economy. Like the evolution of mass and energy in space time through thermodynamic stages of entropy, economics in capital evolution cannot be stopped.
What can be done to moderate evolutionary capitalism to serve the basic interest of a society is to try to limit the concentration of wealth in order to promote the egalitarian and competitive benefits of complete social participation with meaningful opportunities for ingenuity, invention and private capital concentration. A democratic society cognizant of failures of individuals pervasively to accumulate capital for-themselves should limit the size of corporate employment and attempt to perpetuate a revitalization of individual capital resources for all citizens.
The United States is just one example of a nation in a stage of capital concentration concentrating wealth for trans-national corporations. Concurrently U.S. Government policy fails to create a Mexican border barrier equivalent to a natural barrier effective enough that it cannot be illegal crossed.As the world population and transportation efficiency increases toward 9 billion souls dozens of millions of illegal global migrants enter the U.S.A. to create surplus labor and keep wages down for the working class while wealth is concentrated for corporate rulers of the nation. U.S. cycles of simultaneous concentration of wealth and national political decay provide a glimpse of the future conditions that may precipitate a violent revolutionary transition to stage one of the egalitarian distribution of wealth that evolves toward an eventual concentration of wealth.
The United States began with a violent revolutionary redistribution of wealth and power in destroying British rule over the nation. Natural resources were abundant permitting an egalitarian basis for general capital non-concentration lasting nearly 175 years before the concentration of wealth reached a networking stage that has continued its pace of acceleration. As the population density of the U.S.A. increases the quantity of non-renewable an renewable natural resources per individual decreases. Accelerating global immigration over an ineffectively defended southern border increases the pace of political social inequality with a large internal and external proletariat demanding cultural change.
Instead of being an island of ecospheric rationality and restoration with an exemplary static population size and a continuum of low entropy, full employment economic methodology dampening the cycle of evolutionary capitalism from its terminal, singularity phase the United States has thrown reason to the winds and gone along with the historical drafting force of the cycle of evolutionary capitalism. Karl Mark argued for arrested development at the lowest level of concentrated wealth possible that has the implicit effect of preventing competition and progress, while pure capitalists tend to argue in favor of the cycle of wealth concentration either without comprehending or caring that it inevitably leads to violent social destruction without the interpolation of intelligent design of economic reform.

Hippocampus issues nerve cell growth (brain cells)
New nerve cells in the brain were discovered to grow not only in lab rats, but in human beings too. Sciencenews.org reported on January 29, 2011 pages 23-25 on the phenomenon.
http://www.sciencentral.com/articles/view.php3?type=article&article_id=218392754
New nerve cells in the brain grow in the Hippocampus area. That stimulates some notions of humanities in Florida stimulating ecological reasoning growth in political circles perhaps as legislation limits boaters from speeding along the Indian River with counter-rotating props. Actually though, some particular food groups help brain cell regrowth besides making new connections between existing brain cells. At least its food for thought.
Fish, omega 3 fatty acids, vegetables, herbs and fruit—these are good brain foods evidently.

In order to cut the federal budget, the U.S. Supreme Court was replaced recently by an intelligent super computer named HAL. Simultaneously the state of Alaska built a super-size prison near Goose Creek with beds for 1500 prisoners-some legislators were grousing about the size and expense. Enlightened minds realized that the spaces could be filled more quickly with more efficient justice-and thuse entered the era of super-computer, super-swift justice.
favorable points for HAL...
Hal was created with every legal case every brought before a court on Earth in it's memory, HAL cost less to operate annually than the entire federal judiciary.
Computational legal decisions personify the very latest in keen legal reasoning. Like the computer ubermench of Double Jeopardy able to consider every popular question and answer faster than human rivals, HAL too had a special reasoning program able to produce the quickest and most true judgents possible. HAL's motto engraved on its faceplates said it all;'No mercy, no frills legal decisions on the spot'.
No longer were tiresome court room delays made because of a lack of computational wisdom and electrical accuity. HAL not only cut to the chase, it anticipated the verdicts reading re-trial briefs required with anticipatory text. It's omnipresent television cameras knew of all national actions. No time- lost in appeals

Super-Clusters of Galaxies-Largest Structures in Universe
It is said that the largest structures of the Universe are super-clusters of galaxies. There seem to be about fifty of them in the observable area of the Universe which is about twenty-six billion light years across as viewed from the Earth. I ought to point out that the actually area of the Universe may be greater than the area of it that can be seen.

The reason for that discrepancy is that light has a finite speed of travel, and that space-time itself is expanding away from the Earth in most directions. The earliest light that has been seen-the cosmic microwave background of the universe that long ago was very hot and now has cooled down to 3 degrees above absolute zero, was sent out when the Universe was about 300,000 years old according to physical evolutionary models run in reverse. Presently we live in approximately the year 13 billion, seven hundred million years after the inflation of the Universe from time equals zero (T=0) that is regarded as the proximal beginning.
Light has had thus just 13.7 billion years to travel, and that is also thought to be the size of the universe as a radius in light years from Earth.
Looking in space-telescopes like the Hubble S.T. astronomers can view formations of stellar material and nebulas of dust clouds lit up by waves of particles from burning and exploding stars in all their phases of life. There are more than half a dozen basic shapes of galaxies, and also galaxies themselves are drawn together through gravity to form clusters of galaxies and even super-clusters of galaxies.
If there are larger structures in the universe than galaxies that exist, no one knows of any today. Of course one might count space as a larger structure if nothingness is real, or maybe just dimensions as larger, or possibly even the mysterious missing matter and energy of the universe that are believed to exist and act as a sort of hidden gravity affecting galaxies and also as an anti-gravity phenomena pushing all of space-time outward. Actually there may be several larger structures than super-clusters of galaxies, yet as it is now, known are know to the human community on Earth.
Super-clusters of galaxies are fantastic things though. They are vast clumps of tens of millions of galaxies maybe, surrounding vast empty areas of space-time. Today researchers write that the clumps of super-clusters of galaxies around vast empty regions of space-time is a consequence of the initial distribution of mass and energy in the earliest moments of the life history of this Universe that is believed to have inflated like a space-time balloon faster than light for a fraction of a second then slowing down to expand at a sub-luminal pace.
The galactic super cluster our Milky Way Galaxy is located in is a pretty good one named “The Virgo Cluster’. A vast super cluster nearly 730 million light years in size is nearest our Virgo Cluster. It is called ‘The Wall’ or alternately ‘The Great Attractor’ and gives us something slid to ponder being nearly a tenth of the age of the universe itself in comparative expansion of light years in size.
Galactic super-clusters are sad to be connected by thin filament at least. We might one day be able to go on a faster than light journey around the Universe to visit these fifty galactic super-clusters without needing to cross through the deserts of empty space-segregating the essential portions. Without that spacing the superclusters might quickly collapse into a giant black hole prematurely bring an end to al life in the Universe.
Might we travel faster than light by travelling outside of the slid state physical realm f the Universe in which we live, perhaps via extra dimensional did shortcuts? Will we one day have the chance to advise any fellow creatures living in the Universe on important topic like how to live peacefully in dense populations, how to assure that all creatures are given equal opportunity for life’s essential needs, and how to conserve and sustain finite natural resources? Probably not, yet the super-clusters are still worth generations of study for their brilliant status as the largest structures of the visible Universe in which nearly every existing star is set.

President Obama; Frontman for Corporate Imperialist Upgrades in North Africa?
With all the news about Egypt, Tunisia, Bahrain and Libya an American voter might overlook the troubles the Congress has in formatting a rational budget this year. With a two week temporary spending bill maybe the Government won't shut down. With tax cuts spending cuts won't be capable of creating a balanced budget. Of course the media has thoughtfully placed national attention upon the end of neo-military regimes in North Africa. For those of us out of work in North America, the prospects of meaningful change for our fortunes via Egypt are somewhat abstract.
Perhaps the President as of African descent and a history as a community organizer needed to do his part to create political change in North Africa. The old guard of the North Africa were fading out of use for corporate imperialist public relations purposes. Out with the old and in with the new.
Someday, if the new neo-military government presence yields to a perfect democracy or at least a fundamentalist Islamic tier of states, our great, great, great American decedents may have the possibility of finding a job in Libya or Egypt. That is a thrilling prospect for me tenting this winter in Alaska. All the more reason to listen to the Washington politicos and pundits considering how to help African change with no fly zones, serious sanctions, creating alternative, temporary governments or maybe sending in the 101st Air Cav from an aircraft carrier.
Reading of the history of the Balkan wars recently I couldn't help but notice the similarities between the ingressions of imperial powers through the Balkans and modern global expansions of organized power through innumerable small nations. Imperial power may be of many forms and led by groups of people rather than bloodlines-human collective leadership is creative in finding ways to expand economic borders, exploit the locals and subvert their political right of self-determination.
The transition of the United States into being a servo-unit of global corporate imperialism isn't quite complete, yet the ecospheric demands upon Americans are present vital interests to our political attention as well as the reconstruction of a nationalist political ethic of full employment, secure borders and non-wasteful economic practices.
Sure people are oppressed in large portions of the globe including the United States. Individual rights to own private property and to have personal material security and freedom from want of fundamental survival requirements are undermined by imperial powers historically. With our national economic leadership incapable and unwilling to separate the preponderance of U.S. economic activity from global corporate imperial control the diversion of the public attention to 'the crowning of the king and king of Hollywood' at the Oscar's, to the new regimes across north Africa, or to the latest foreign threats to global economic powers or just to Boston Massachusetts becomes the perennial focus of media activity.
There are virtually no advocates for American economic nationalism and full employment these days in media broadcasts, and none advocating for synergetic economic use of the ecosphere with concurrent conservation and recovery of what remains of it. The changes in North Africa that may go on for decades might be of more meaning to global imperialists of the business world than to Americans out of work now.

How Darwinian Moral Nihilism Evolved the Death of Liberalism
From the beginning the Word of God designed life to be and become in the Universe. The boundary conditions of the Universe of Universes from its initial state were made to enable life to actualize in a variety of states. On the Earth, with powerful space telescopes, the view of space-time and light that has travelled across it spans nearly twenty-six billion light year-thirteen billion light years in opposite directions starting from our world has been grasped.
Human life has evolved thought enabling rational construction of political and social ideas. With creation of intelligent social philosophy the innate spiritual awareness of the difference between good and evil inspires mankind to form governing institutions that fundamentally reflect concepts of individual liberty. Human thought may exist at a cutting edge of evolution from a certain perspective. Unlike unreasoning life forms that are themselves entirely subject to natural forces of evolution, human beings with free thinking creative, willful thought can determine their own responses for good or bad to natural evolutionary challenges.
Evolution does not guarantee success to all living things forever. Human beings with human thought can quickly advance or equally swiftly deteriorate their prospects for evolutionary success. If post-liberal Darwinian moral nihilism becomes the norm, humanity’s selection of meaninglessness over reason may be the harbinger of evolutionary failure.
Liberalism developed in opposition to authoritarianism, monarchy, totalitarianism and the concentration of political power within elite minority rule. Darwinianism leaking into political thought neutralized the meaning of political rationalism while undermining liberalism, if not usurping the name. Liberalism was redefined to mean recognition of the meaninglessness of meaning spelling out in the process the delegitimization of all rationally constructed social philosophies including classical liberalism.
The remarkable insights of the natural philosopher Charles Darwin into the mechanical evolution of material in the Universe including living processes provided ad educated leap in social comprehension of how much of the Universe functions. For many political liberals Darwinism became a purely secular replacement to Christian and other religious thought on matters from ethics to cosmological genesis. It was believed by Social Darwinists that the Universe was not big enough for God and Darwinian evolution to be true at the same time.
Of course expansion of Darwinism beyond science wholesale into ethics, philosophy, cosmology and theology was rash and generative of numerous errors in reasoning. Yet this is not an essay upon the myriad ways that Biblical creation parameters might be reconciled with temporal evolution theory; six days in parameters of general relativity and the twins paradox, theistic evolution, alternative extra dimensions, retroactive creation units and are worthy of elaboration beyond the scope of this political essay.
Charles Darwin’s analytical, scientific thought too broadly applied led to a social Darwinism engendering a pervasive belief in an amoral universe amongst liberals.
Liberalism beginning as a revolution against concentrated power was itself annihilated by a Darwinianism that negated the meaning of anything.
In the United States politics tends to take a massified approach over vast expanses of land. A form of hybrid cultural imperialism was assumed too as a mass market for consumerism naturally enough. Popular thought impelled by social Darwinism masquerading as liberalism attacks all traditional moral norms and holds nations and nationalism to be quaint obstructions to the uniform mass culture of commercial imperialists running roughshod upon the fragile world ecosphere.
In reading a history of the Balkan wars it is remarkable to discover the simultaneous problems for political and social peace created by the competition of several imperial governments over time for control of rebellious mountain peoples. Ethnic divisions are increased by religious divisions compelled by imperial power alliances and preferences. In the Balkans, nationalism was repressed even through the modern communist era. Ironically, even the United States of America as an imperialist power with N.A.T.O. bombed Serbia as it fought it latest war for national identification.
Modern imperialism may form in ad hoc or surruptiously designed and/or mislabeled trans-national corporate structures even bringing together former communist elites into the fold of global rulers of men and women within one world neo-imperial order of corporatism One must wonder if the recent Egyptian pseudo-populist revolt against the oppressive Mubarak regime was in part a C.I.A. production enabled by American influence over the Egyptian military through a two billion dollar annual U.S. contribution. As the old American friendly government lost its usefulness and fell from fashion a newer, youthful transition to a military government and an unknown future more popular government was deemed useful. Such actions while perhaps moral would be expressions of corporate imperialism shaping the world inevitably toward its own ends.
The Austrian-Hapsburg Empire and the Ottoman Empire were two prior imperial powers of the Balkans. American assumptions about nationalism and its relationship to peace were in part formed along with particular European ideas drawn from wars largely between France and the Germanic Hapsburg Empire. As a nation the United States had little trouble increasing its borders over history. The nation has little record of conservation of its culture in the modern world, and instead prefers to expand through immigration and global corporatism as a populist, commercial imperial power. Like a class III star it burns resources at a quick pace and might devour from neighboring stars material to keep fusion fires of economics burning, or perhaps it moves abroad its productive centers making the nation itself something of a slum. Corporate leaders have little national allegiance though it might be impolitic to say so too publicly.
In the past few centuries wars have been fought for ideological, ethnic and imperial reasons far more than for nationalism. If peoples were able to live within national boundaries and responsibly use their own resources with liberal political society of individuality based democracy instead of Darwinian political accountability the prospects for human survival would be much increased.
The ongoing maladroit effect of political Darwinism undermining reason and intelligent design of social boundaries and traditions because of a false belief that nihilistic thought is the truest evolution of liberalism would be funny if it weren’t so serious. Mass market political idea producers believe that liberal thought is the best advocate for the meaninglessness of morality and for the reduction to phenomenalism of any thoughtful political construction of human intelligence.
Popular social political Darwinism logically negates the reality or value of any thought. Perhaps one might associate that with a perfection of Zen philosophy, yet Zen is at least logically consistent and an atemporal belief while Darwinian political secularism and corrupted liberalism are worldly with a self-negating, contradictory political irrationality of nihilism at their core.
Within a temporal universe with apparent evolutionary processes, there are physical values in cosmology not at all well understood. The whole being of the Universe has indefinable boundaries from large to small. Dimensions and time are only being researched. Language development is researched neurological and philosophically investigated. Languages are codes sharing data socially. Amongst researchers languages share data as coded references about the structure of the phenomenal universe. The effort to interpret reality is done with data structures associated through language codes.
Mathematics is a kind of language code that describes the shapes, transitions and quantitative relations logically possible for hypothetical constructions. Meaning in coded structures is valid just so far as it rationally, accurately describes objects of reference in their apparent states of being. The process of interpreting data and inventing concepts are rational, meaningful activities. They are not found within a wrongly transferred Darwinian political philosophy of liberal meaninglessness derived from material evolution theories of life, geology, being or time.
One may require only one language code (as English for example) to unify a nation or people so far as possible within a common possibility of comprehension of meaning criterion. It is also possible to believe that the ability to say the same thing with several codes better, although the language of math universally understood works well enough. When languages, cultures, polities and rational political structures are held to be implicitly meaningless the consequences can be as critical as it could be in any field of human construction such as aeronautical engineering. Liberalism was designed to safeguard individual freedom within a political system rather than to promote anarchy and the opinion that everything is intrinsically meaningless.
Darwinism is not a viable political philosophy for a rational society. It ought to be rightly limited to use as a scientific method for regarding materials formations. If it’s applied too broadly in fields of human behavior including thought, reason is neutralized and intelligent social design eclipsed. It may seem a narrow and sharp line drawn in the sand that points an arrow toward good and intelligent directions instead of random and meaningless chance or whim. If society is to progress toward a rational and optimal social alliance with God’s provisioning of nature, meaning rather than meaninglessness must be accentuated positively.
Nature itself follows highly structured physical courses of orderly change. Human life can be sustained within just a narrow temperature range of perhaps fifteen degrees Fahrenheit of body temperature flux while the Universe ranges over tens of millions of degrees. Comprehending the ordered structures of the Universe; developing human reason to comprehend and construct advanced conceptual possibilities of invention and enterprise within reasonable boundaries in respect to nature and human liberty are works of reason rather than phenomena of meaninglessness and nihilism.
Human life has evolved thought enabling rational construction of political and social ideas. With creation of intelligent social philosophy the innate spiritual awareness of the difference between good and evil inspires mankind to form governing institutions that fundamentally reflect concepts of individual liberty. Human thought may exist at a cutting edge of evolution from a certain perspective. Unlike unreasoning life forms that are themselves entirely subject to natural forces of evolution, human beings with free thinking creative, willful thought can determine their own responses for good or bad to natural evolutionary challenges.
Evolution does not guarantee success to all living things forever. Human beings with human thought can quickly advance or equally swiftly deteriorate their prospects for evolutionary success. If post-liberal Darwinian moral nihilism becomes the norm, humanity’s selection of meaninglessness over reason may be the harbinger of evolutionary failure.
Liberalism developed in opposition to authoritarianism, monarchy, totalitarianism and the concentration of political power within elite minority rule. Darwinianism leaking into political thought neutralized the meaning of political rationalism while undermining liberalism, if not usurping the name. Liberalism was redefined to mean recognition of the meaninglessness of meaning spelling out in the process the delegitimization of all rationally constructed social philosophies including classical liberalism.
The remarkable insights of the natural philosopher Charles Darwin into the mechanical evolution of material in the Universe including living processes provided ad educated leap in social comprehension of how much of the Universe functions. For many political liberals Darwinism became a purely secular replacement to Christian and other religious thought on matters from ethics to cosmological genesis. It was believed by Social Darwinists that the Universe was not big enough for God and Darwinian evolution to be true at the same time.
Of course expansion of Darwinism beyond science wholesale into ethics, philosophy, cosmology and theology was rash and generative of numerous errors in reasoning. Yet this is not an essay upon the myriad ways that Biblical creation parameters might be reconciled with temporal evolution theory; six days in parameters of general relativity and the twins paradox, theistic evolution, alternative extra dimensions, retroactive creation units and are worthy of elaboration beyond the scope of this political essay.
Charles Darwin’s analytical, scientific thought too broadly applied led to a social Darwinism engendering a pervasive belief in an amoral universe amongst liberals.
Liberalism beginning as a revolution against concentrated power was itself annihilated by a Darwinianism that negated the meaning of anything.
In the United States politics tends to take a massified approach over vast expanses of land. A form of hybrid cultural imperialism was assumed too as a mass market for consumerism naturally enough. Popular thought impelled by social Darwinism masquerading as liberalism attacks all traditional moral norms and holds nations and nationalism to be quaint obstructions to the uniform mass culture of commercial imperialists running roughshod upon the fragile world ecosphere.
In reading a history of the Balkan wars it is remarkable to discover the simultaneous problems for political and social peace created by the competition of several imperial governments over time for control of rebellious mountain peoples. Ethnic divisions are increased by religious divisions compelled by imperial power alliances and preferences. In the Balkans, nationalism was repressed even through the modern communist era. Ironically, even the United States of America as an imperialist power with N.A.T.O. bombed Serbia as it fought it latest war for national identification.
Modern imperialism may form in ad hoc or surruptiously designed and/or mislabeled trans-national corporate structures even bringing together former communist elites into the fold of global rulers of men and women within one world neo-imperial order of corporatism One must wonder if the recent Egyptian pseudo-populist revolt against the oppressive Mubarak regime was in part a C.I.A. production enabled by American influence over the Egyptian military through a two billion dollar annual U.S. contribution. As the old American friendly government lost its usefulness and fell from fashion a newer, youthful transition to a military government and an unknown future more popular government was deemed useful. Such actions while perhaps moral would be expressions of corporate imperialism shaping the world inevitably toward its own ends.
The Austrian-Hapsburg Empire and the Ottoman Empire were two prior imperial powers of the Balkans. American assumptions about nationalism and its relationship to peace were in part formed along with particular European ideas drawn from wars largely between France and the Germanic Hapsburg Empire. As a nation the United States had little trouble increasing its borders over history. The nation has little record of conservation of its culture in the modern world, and instead prefers to expand through immigration and global corporatism as a populist, commercial imperial power. Like a class III star it burns resources at a quick pace and might devour from neighboring stars material to keep fusion fires of economics burning, or perhaps it moves abroad its productive centers making the nation itself something of a slum. Corporate leaders have little national allegiance though it might be impolitic to say so too publicly.
In the past few centuries wars have been fought for ideological, ethnic and imperial reasons far more than for nationalism. If peoples were able to live within national boundaries and responsibly use their own resources with liberal political society of individuality based democracy instead of Darwinian political accountability the prospects for human survival would be much increased.

Righteous Christian Tithing
For much of Christian history righteous tithing has been supplanted by unrighteous tithing. Instead of following the parameters of tithing given in Deuteronomy Christians have followed their own guidelines suggested by the receivers of the tithe.
In the Bible book the tithe was to be the first fruits of agricultural production. Ten percent of an individual's work produce was to be put into his storehouse and saved for a celebration of God at some holy place once a year. If any Christian followed the Biblical way he would be blessed with abundance materially, for obviously he would always have a savings account with enough in it to enjoy a worshipful feast each year.
Except in the third year the producer was to give his ten percent to widows, orphans and non-producing clergy. The non-working clergy of the Levitical era were just ordinary men who would infrequently serve a year or less in priestly duties. They were not career ten per cent annually tithe collectors of everyone's produce as they are today. Instead, they were humble individuals who would return to work their own fields after serving God a year.
In ancient Israel and Judah it would have been difficult to meet in a priesthood of believers unlike today where it would be instantly possible and a good way to have Christians gain maturity in the faith. Modern literacy and communication enable all responsible Christians to perform well-ordered liturgical and worship sharing tasks, yet a hierarchical priesthood devoted to ten percent tithe collecting usurps that formation.
It is useful to remember that God did not want Israel to have a King. God was their leader and he only allowed them to have Saul as their king when he was out chasing his lost ass and wandered into the people who recognized the tall searcher as their king. Eventually King David's male line would die out and Jesus Christ-the King of the Jews, would arise from David's line through Mary.
Deuteronomy 14
"22Thou shalt truly tithe all the increase of thy seed, that the field bringeth forth year by year.
23And thou shalt eat before the LORD thy God, in the place which he shall choose to place his name there, the tithe of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the firstlings of thy herds and of thy flocks; that thou mayest learn to fear the LORD thy God always.
24And if the way be too long for thee, so that thou art not able to carry it; or if the place be too far from thee, which the LORD thy God shall choose to set his name there, when the LORD thy God hath blessed thee:
25Then shalt thou turn it into money, and bind up the money in thine hand, and shalt go unto the place which the LORD thy God shall choose:
26And thou shalt bestow that money for whatsoever thy soul lusteth after, for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatsoever thy soul desireth: and thou shalt eat there before the LORD thy God, and thou shalt rejoice, thou, and thine household,
27And the Levite that is within thy gates; thou shalt not forsake him; for he hath no part nor inheritance with thee.
28At the end of three years thou shalt bring forth all the tithe of thine increase the same year, and shalt lay it up within thy gates:
29And the Levite, (because he hath no part nor inheritance with thee,) and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, which are within thy gates, shall come, and shall eat and be satisfied; that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all the work of thine hand which thou doest."
Modern Christians should establish a priesthood of believers. The annual, individual’s family feast will assure that God's will that Christians save their produce and do not want might be carried out with a pow wow and spirit dance perhaps with hired performers of song. The feast should place Jesus Christ at the center of the worship festivity. Obviously the third year donation to the Salvation Army, Catholic Social Services or other charitable organization dedicated to relieving poverty and bring the lost unto reconciliation with God through the saving grace of the Son Jesus Christ would be two thirds of the third year tithing allocation. Perhaps the other third would go to maintenance of the priesthood of believer’s staff and facility financial needs. Those should be far less than in a hierarchically led church structure as an activist priesthood would be the normal form of Christian association.
God has so often sought to provide rational social structures for human living. Usually society has disregarded those enlightened instructions for living and preferred to make life difficult for themselves after a nominal, superficial compliance. The righteous tithing methods were brilliant financial advice that made it an obligation for the faithful to work and save for themselves and not give away their savings to predatory ‘high priests’. Jesus Christ alone is the high priest for humanity.
Today’s clergy have made church meetings entertaining of course, yet they collect a ten per cent cut of everyone’s income for themselves, and that is plain wrong. Christians are urged to give away the ten percent of their produce to a professional clergy that they were to store for a celebration once a year. As Christian give away their savings they are left vulnerable to the vicissitudes of poverty and leverage financially from predatory lenders and others offering dubiously honorable employment opportunities or ‘deals’.
Christian’s bereft of their annual tithing savings account are told to rely upon God magically to produce abundance for them and forsake the practical word of God as given in Deuteronomy quoted above. God have provided a rational way of material provisioning for each individual. With ten percent of a crop in storage (perhaps grain or corn), the godly would not be a consumer or ever find himself without something to eat in an emergency. Today, even in hard times, the corruption of over-tithing a hierarchical priesthood 3000% persists with little chance of church reform into creation of a priesthood of believers.

The Fine Structure Constant Value of the Universe May be A-Changin
The fine structure constant of the Universe is a mathematical value determined by physicists to give the strength of the force that exists when an electron gives up its force carrying particle the photon. Since the early 20th century origin of quantum mechanics the value was believed to be a universal constant at about 1/137. Now that certainty is changing.
http://www.economist.com/node/16930866
Astrophysicists in recent years have found evidence in very distant stellar light sources to support the conclusion that the fine structure constant actually has varied in different regions of the Universe. If it changed by 4% or more stars could not be made from the present methods whereby they are composed. Neither would life exist as we know it without stars.
The Economist and others (see the Feb 2011 article by Bob Berman in Astronomy) have issued articles on the recent change in theory. The topic is interesting especially for those interested in cosmology for if the constant of physics may change much it indicates that underlying causes that are unknown may affect similar processes differently. Perhaps the space-time dimensions of the early inflaton also changed the values of what is called the ‘alpha’ force.
Changes in the fine structure constant may indicate the presence of extra hidden dimensions, or it may indicate that early hidden dimensions were not as compact, or alternately, more compact than today. The quasars or bright galactic sources more than 9 billion light years away in each direction have differing values. In one direction alpha is a little smaller while in the opposite direction 18 billion light years distant it is a little larger. Naturally we would guess that the unfolding of space time dimensions from an initial extremely compacted state might occur with different strengths of force as the intervals of the ball of yarn unrolled (a humorous salute to string theory).
The differential values of alpha that seem possible confirms our appreciation for the subtle constructions of God in issuing select dimensions from a field perhaps of all possible-dimensions in some divine construction yard.
-note to Christian readers- I believe that God may have an Einstinean relativistic realtion to the six days of creation. That is, he can construct several billion years worth of work of Universe building in what to Him might seem a 24 hour day. refer to 'the twins paradox'.

President Obama Gives Up on Defense of Marriage Act- Grounds for Impeachment?
Such executive decisions in other times have motivated congressional party opponents to consider filing articles of impeachment. What else can an ordinary congress do when it passes a perfectly good law and the President chooses unilaterally not to enforce it?
President Obama directed Attorney General Holder-evidently with the Attorney General’s assenting opinion, not to enforce the Defense of Marriage Act. Homosexual militants declared that a victory and the President’s home state of Hawaii concurrently signed in to law a homosexual civil unions law further perverting that island paradise.
www.businessweek.com/.../obama-administration-won-t-support-defense-of-marriage-act.html-
The President declared the 1996 law to be unconstitutional. Evidently he has taken upon himself the judicial prerogative of interpreting the constitutionality of laws passed by the congress for-himself.
The duty of the President is to execute laws passed by the congress.
Article I section 1 U.S. Constitution; “
Section 1. All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House
from Article 1 Section 2 U.S. Constitution “The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America.”
That is very simple. The President has unconstitutionally exercised a line item veto (actually vetoing enforcement of a complete law). Executive constitutional disobedience and dereliction of duty are grounds for impeachment. The founders did not create an imperial presidency.
I do not want to be churlish about this issue. Yes, in this yippish raving global media era it is cool to be ignorant for many. Leftists want to limit public employment in government agencies to those swearing allegiance to leftist labor unions, and the President has offered support to those seeking to expand the meaning of marriage to include not only men and women, but homosexuals and wildebeests too like as not.
The basic issue though is the President’s assertion that defining marriage as a heterosexual union is not constitutional. The President has taken a libertarian opinion on the point of homosexual marriage, and seeks to find that right in the U.S. Constitution. That is an effort to make a lie of the constitution.
The U.S. Constitution was not designed to be unintelligible to the common man (or woman). It is not founded in Byzantine legalisms requiring a Cabbalistic scholar to define its meanings. Neither is the character and personalities of the founders a matter lost in the mists of time. We know these were goodly and practical men who held social and moral values common to their era. Needless to say, homosexual marriage was not a practice of the era nor of any of the signers of the Declaration of Independence nor delegates to the 1787 Constitutional Convention.
It may be a practice of the left to construction legal fictions from the Constitution that puts social and political opinions into the mouths of the founders that they would have found abhorrent. President Obama may have missed out on basic U.S. History growing up in Indonesia. He really may not realize that revolutionary America had no gay liberation chapter, that it did not consent to abortion, and that it wasn’t liberal enough to legalize bestiality.
If the 56 signers of the Declaration of Independence or delegates to the Constitutional Convention were polled in their day on the issue of homosexual marriage, to a man they would have voted ‘nay’. The Presidential effort to pervert the historical truth is an ungraceful work forcing historical lies upon Americans. Not even today would Americans vote approval of an Amendment to make homosexual marriages lawful. Yet the Constitution is not a document of contemporary opinion. Like the Bible it was written at a particular place and time by individuals with real beliefs. Dissimulating those beliefs in order to succor a minority trying to steer the nation into decadence is simply wrong.

Wave of Revolution Across Arab World; Wisconsin Teachers Lever Democracy, Balkan Brigands, Alaska News Etc.
Globalism is like an Egyptian pyramid; for the powers of concentrated wealth at the top to elevate themselves, for those of the middle class to reach higher in the sky, the base of masses of the poor at the bottom must be broadened.
My last volume of essays in the Waveform Politics Series (volume ten), which is itself a synoptic personal view of contemporary history and current events, should at least note some of the rapid changes in the Arab world in February 2011. The Mubarak government has vacated for a ‘temporary’ military power and several other regional governments are undergoing public pressure to vacate. In Alaska we are interested in these changes because of the alterations in the going price of oil that funds state government.
Of course all human events upon a finite world with a large population have the potential to affect everyone else. Reports of crimes against humanity by defenders of the embattled Kaddafi regime in Libya make us aware of the volatility of human nature, and perhaps of two fundamental divisions of humanity into those whom are oppressors and those who are not.
Oil is going for $95 a barrel in the U.S. and $108 dollars in London today. In Alaska Governor Sean Parnell is trying to lower the already lowest in the world state tax on oil production from public land in order to ‘create jobs’ with new oil development. Reason would indicate that the state could create far more jobs, and for people outside the exclusive oil industry, if the present tax rate remained in place and money were put into a revitalized Alaska Small Business Grant and Loan foundation.
The natural resources of the state of Alaska like those of the world are under assault by global powers of economic conquest. It was said that all people are in debt to the thief. The concentrated wealth networking phenomena depleting U.S. national sovereignty is a complex process aggregating financial power offshore. A mincing broadcast media insinuates non-rational politics upon the national political discourse, as it rightly should being owned pervasively by wealthy global interests. One must sort through an interstellar dust cloud of debris to discover the concentrations of political gravity forming new political structures within revolutionary states.
Political volatility in the age of mass personal communication and traditional broadcast propagandization of the masses has accelerated the pace of political change. What has not accelerated is the pace of economic production. The redistribution of existing wealth was always a fallacious idea, since the values associated with wealth are in part relativistic social attributions; what value is a diamond for itself besides use in rarified industrial processes? Food production, land redistribution; innumerable traditional political ideas that served as a rationale for revolution themselves are subducted within the engines of mass economic processes. Assuredly the internationalization of economics has placed a global usury class such as Britain presents and the U.S.A. aspires too within a compartmentalized and alienating global economic phenomenality. That non-locality of economic control makes real economic revolution improbably difficult both intellectually and actually. Revolutionaries in the modern era even experience difficulties in being free to form a national self-consciousness adequate to pursue their own national, public self-interest.
We find Wisconsin Governor Walker’s leadership in trying to end the right of government public employees to form unions for collective bargaining and inevitable effort to enable challenged state government to free themselves from minority or even mob rule. Public employee compensation should be set by legislators (democrats could award bonuses when in the majority), and public government should be free to be entirely flexible in order to be able to adapt to changing social and economic currents. At some junctures the inflexibility of unelected collectives making economic demands upon state governments could undermine of the ability of state governments to exist.
The federal government of the United States has so far generally kept out of the Arab revolutionary fray. President Obama did offer support for the ousting of Mubarak at least nominally, however he has had to become more of a concerned observer for the balance of the ongoing process of social liberation from rule of royals and autocrats in the Middle East. It is a difficult circumstance to predict outcomes for. In fact one may even be reminded of Biblical prophecy from the book of the Revelation a little in the dangers Israel feels as being isolated in a social sea of surrounding change. Just a couple of days ago an Iranian warship passed through the Suez Canal for the first time in thirty years. In the future such warships could deliver nuclear cruise missiles to Tel Aviv or Paris.
Thus the better policy of the United States might be to just develop alternate fuels to oil to power automobiles or mass transit systems. The Obama administration hasn’t a capacity to enact other than Larry Summer’s somewhat wealth oriented fly by wire globalism started by Bush I and continued by Bill Clinton. It suggests small scale fast trains, yet hasn’t any sort of bold 1000 m.p.h. fast trans-continental concepts for mass transit on the ground. The administration believes lots of small female hands can be employed in assembling new high tech electronic components possibly while it simultaneously allows millions of illegal male aliens to enter to join the workforce undermining large male size hands that are a little clumsier for some smaller tasks. One wonders if the President ever had a real job where manual labor was required.
If the U.S. Government fails to do it's homework on moving rapidly away from fossil fuels for transportation power on the roads a revolution in Saudi Arabia and possible further destruction of oil infrastructure may well reduce the economic efficiency of the U.S.A. suddenly and without immediate remedy. The federal government has consistently failed to heed reasonable economic catastrophic trasnition scenarios many reasonable people foresee as susbtantial possibilities.
In the Balkan wars of the 1990’s a continuation of unconcluded medieval conflicts presented ‘difficult’ choices to the Bush I and Clinton administrations. In retrospect we may have learned that the horrors of war and ethnic cleansing Europeans and Americans were upset with was a cultural methodology with an inertial logic.
Even before Serbians invaded the regions of the Balkans held by ethnic Greeks thousands of years ago, the tradition of mountain brigands plundering the peoples of the lowland plains existed. In the exceedingly mountainous Balkans there were comparatively few and often isolated lowlands that presented difficulty in defending from mountain people or governments. Governments in kingdom powers were numerous, proprietary and at war upon one another, various people, invading powers and vulnerable, independent peoples. Especially during the five hundred years of Ottoman Empire occupation in the Balkans hill country brigands-land pirates-developed a culture of asserting independence of their own. Rather than having a national allegiance the land pirates loyal to themselves lived in a mountain world in a manner equivalent to today’s global corporate and financial leaders plundering the ‘lay people’ in the various underdeveloped nations. So we may wonder how the sorting out of new democratic developments in the middle east, and how a U.S.A. anachronistically reliant upon global oil supplies for economic well being, will react to the changes?
In recent years, a policy of belligerence and mono-mania as driven American foreign policy, yet the irrationality of American globalism is evident in the accumulation of public debt. Kyle Bush and the twenty year old Bain may be contemporaneous NASCAR drivers embodying the high point of Republican party political aspirations and logic, yet the interest of the United States in being and independent nation leading by example in low-entropy, full employment economics requires a scientific and moral rationale quite absent in the public sector. In reacting to revolution in the Middle East we must observe from a distance (an anachronism I know) and allow the neo-democratization to burn out the cancer of aristocratic oppression so far as it may. There may be several post-revolutionary victory transformations as unpredictable as Present Bush II’s incomprehension of what post 2003 War Iraq would be like. What the United States can do is to reinforce Israel militarily, and produce fuel cell, wind and electric power in Alaska and the rest of the nation along with development of super-conducting power lines and energy storage grids to make a variety of low environmental cost, locally produced transportation modalities a reality.
Social and economic irredentism in the Middle East is challenged by a global irredentism of collectivity in social organizations of corporatism, social and political networks. Megalomania is a kind of social norm in business today, politics and nationalism is a delimiting encumbrance to world share market controllers. Within the matrix of media and economic tangled banks exists a void-a singularity of environmental and spiritual non-thought that must be overcome. Into that void a light of faith in democracy and national self-determination must arise. Political theory understanding and development must advance beyond the traditional forms and hybrids while political rhetoric too must give up its slogans and packaged scenarios to recognize the world as a finite place that must support all human development as a low-entropy, independent and individual right driven place.

When Gravity Stopped ©2011 Gary Clifford Gibson (a poem)
Thus space hath infinite dimensions
soft construction’s numbered places
directions in which time lives and moves
counterfactual to nothing
flow sheets of mass-energy
restless
When slick shut down gravity
the colors lost wavelengths like water color paintings
tossed into a river of dimensions without boundary
where stellar fusion fires fizzled
why galaxies drizzled into clouds of atoms
before black holes unraveled running backwards
Uniformed constellations left now
a Universe drifting apart
never contracting things into being
super-clusters of galaxies without even entropy for dispersion
drawn away toward infinite dimensional scuppers illogically
within a Hooverized economy.

Neither Major Party Plans to Pay Down National Debt
The prospects for reducing federal debt aren’t good. Neither major party has a rational plan, nor does the Tea Hee party.
Bunkonomics have become the political norm; wealth is perennially concentrated, the wage negotiating position of the working class decline. Lenders to the federal government buying notes have support in cutting social spending from the budget as if the poor were at fault for creating the debt. All of the federal discretionary spending together is less than a third of the budget. That is not the best place to look for place to pay off the public debt. The poor become victims without a federal health service as well. Their job prospects are poor while the advantaged outsource work abroad whenever possible.
The Wal-Marts of the world buy cheapest goods produced abroad and import tem to the U.S.A. for sale at highest possible prices consumers will bear once they have acquired oligopoly status in America driving just local competitors from the market. Internetworked corporations may preclude finding reemployment if fired after making political dissent in public forums from corporate oligopoly interests.
The federal budget is about 3.5 trillion bucks annually. The public debt by 2015 will be equal to five years federal budget. Just balancing the federal budget will not reduce the public debt.
In 2015 interest on public debt will be about a trillion bucks annually. The U.S. gross domestic product is about 30 trillion? Annually. Minus interest on he federal debt, the U.S. Government budget in 2015 would be about 2.8 trillion annually-that’s not too large with the U.S. gross domestic product being about 14.6 trillion dollars annually. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_(nominal)
The greatest portion of the federal budget that can be reduced without harm is the interest on public debt-raise taxes, hold the line on spending and pay off the debt as soon as possible. Whet e debt is gone taxes may be cut to balance the budget fro the surplus of revenue.
Logically one cannot pay off the federal debt without running a budget surplus unless fundamentally getting rid of most government services instead of paying interest an principal down.
Since the 81 Reagan tax cuts the U.S. Federal debt has always increased, and that shall always remain so with present low tax rates and increase in population and economic scale.

Relevence of Saul Kripke's 'Naming and Necessity' of Multiverse Theory Constructions?
Reading through Saul Kripke’s 1973 ‘Naming and Necessity’ in my frosty ( 0 degrees F) tent, it occured to me that the philosophical investigations of the logic of necessity and for modal logic and of naming have relevance to physical cosmology and multiverse theory.
Kripke wrote that ‘no one formal system decides all mathematical questions, as we know from Gödel.” He wrote that after using the Goldbach conjecture as an example (pages 72 and 73)
in the effort to investigate a theory of descriptions of names and ambiguity in objects of reference. Gödel’s incompleteness theorem finds a parallel in language.
For that we can thank Quine and his ‘Ontological relativity’ for exposition. Names are tools for description and for making objective references rather than things-in-themselves. Names and descriptions find their meaning within a relative context of us with some applications being valid and others relatively invalid-we find weather reports and predictions the same way.
The problems of incompleteness theorems and of relative validity of names as well as the difficulties in eliminating uncertainty from mathematical values believed to have the qualities of a prioricity or necessity of validity implies that conjectures of cosmology abut all possible worlds and representational infinite universes theories would find incompleteness within the mathematical representations such that it would disconnect from valid predictive description of what objectify exists beyond possible observation.

Note on a Priesthood of Believers
Christians should be like a football tema where all are players instead of spectators. Today's U.S. Christians generally sit in the stands as spectators with a coach sermonizing them. The priest-coach may be able to receive tithes and encourage the congregation to right moral conduct, yet it leaves the spectators poor football players since they aren't really far into the game.
A preisthood of believers ecclesiastical structure would be present Christians as players on the field sharing all the roles of Sunday service. Sure there could still be commercial or pro coaches and evangelists making special appearances occassionally, yet each week the Preisthood of Believers Christians would be in the game in small, well organized groups operating from a playbook they have learned in some orthodox way-perhaps a special denominational theology quality control school.
As in football we would not expect all Christian priests at their U-table gatherings to be ready every Sunday, immediately for reading from the old or new testament, working the minutes, taking prayer requests, leading a sing-a-long or reading a ten minute sermon. Simple beignner, intermediate and elder adult roles would advance Christians in Priestly duties as their attendance records and workbook completions indicate.
Tghis is a simple enough, necessary transition for Christian form in the modern world. To fail to upgrade does harm to missiological and maturation of Christian opportunities. It would be easier to actualize in literate nations.

White Youths are Now a Minority in Ten States-More States to Follow as Boomers Fade
The increase of the population of white youth in America was just one percent in the past decade. In fact non-whites accounted for more than eighty percent of the population increase of the United States. The significant cultural changes that will likely continue to accelerate in pace as the boomer generation has left the reproductive age presents numerous long range political issues impacting America presently.
Of concern to me as a member of the set of the youngest of the boomer generation is the increase of racial bias in the workforce against whites and white males who are older workers or unemployed. A pervasive increase in a manifest destiny of racial empowerment has already led to the practical definition of civil rights in the U.S.A. to mean the rights of non-whites. Political civil rights issues are pervasively biased toward disempowering white males.
Unemployed white males not of the prosperous classes may have significant challenges in getting hired within a non-white work force. Social class biases are a class of life. If all of the workers at a Wal-Mart are women, Filipinos or other 'minorities', it is common that non are aging white males.
There are concatenated social disadvantages of non-white bias against extended life employment for aging white Americans. If not employed they, like others, may need food stamps, social security, Medicare, Medicaid and other taxpayer supported costs that younger workers must pay for, and that makes little economic sense. Keeping older people employed at least until age 75 if possible in the non-heavy lifting contemporary workplace is a better goal than to force them out of work, fail to rehire them if unemployed, and add trillions to the national debt.
White America's birth rate is quite low, and may soon be in decline. White American youth face the prospects of becoming a national minority as boomers fade from the season. The space program and other science advancements may become underfunded as non-whites and a flood of illegal aliens seek to reallocate social spending from former 'white' interests to social remediation of poverty in the new America. In that transitional era it would be a good idea to let people find a friendly work environment realistically accommodating the abilities of aging people in order to keep society humane and the national debt from increasing far beyond the 20 trillion dollars that President Obama plans to leave as a legacy by 2015.

State of Alaska Seems to Create Oil Jobs in Canada and Alter Canadian Ecology
The Governor of the State of Alaska (Sean Parnell-Republican) has supported development of a trans-Canada natural gas pipeline in order to deliver gas supplies to the American Midwest. The impropriety of Alaska state government investing in construction projects in Canada instead of Alaska apparently escaped the notice of a generation of Alaskan politicians.
The Palin administration also supported AGIA-the Alaska Gasline Inducement Act, that gives up to a half a billion dollars to a corporation willing to build the pipeline.
http://www.downstreamtoday.com/news/article.aspx?a_id=25406&AspxAutoDetectCookieSupport=1
Skeptics might guess that a trans-Canada gas pipe would be stage one of a plan to build a trans-Siberian pipeline to Alaska in the future. With an existing pipeline from Alaska and supplies one day running out it would be a natural step to tie in Iranian and Russia natural gas supplies through their own interconnecting pipelines o Alaska. Such construction projects as well as all on and offshore oil and gas development projects in the Arctic would need to build pipelines along corridors above any potential rise in sea level created by global warming caused in part by burning fossil fuels making greenhouse gasses released into the atmosphere.
The state of Alaska has invested in a Trans-Canada and Exxon bid potential gas line development project. Trust of the state government of the Exxon Corporation in something like asking a vampire to keep a pint of blood in their refrigerator when your own has broke.
Many people suspect the global oil corporations of manipulating oil and gas prices over the decades. It is known though that Russia, Iran and Qatar have huge natural gas fields, and many places are not short in supply either. Global political and financial networking has made shareholder investment in transnational corporations common and in conflict with the interests of state governments and democracy in innumerable instances.
The state of Alaska should investment development money in Alaska instead of Canada. It should create jobs in Alaska instead of Canada. It should never, ever trust the Exxon Corporation, and should be aware that a conflict of interest fundamentally exists between seller and buyer in a bargaining situation. It is unlikely that Exxon or any other trans-national oil and gas corporation would seek to maximize the value of a seller of oil and gas reserves. It is also unreasonable that the state of Alaska should permanently make its sales of natural gas dependent upon transportation through a Canadian gas pipeline operated or owned by the Exxon Corporation. Such a plan is idiocy.
In former decades I too have rarely supported construction of a gas line through Canada. Finally I came to my senses through philosophical maturity gained only over time and contemplative thought. Presently the state of Alaska should construct its gas pipeline to tidewater in Alaska at the Kenai Peninsula and keep maximal fluidity of sales of product through super-tanker gas ships to anyplace on Earth in the future (such as Los Angeles) that want to buy the product at a fair price.
The Palin administration also supported AGIA-the Alaska Gasline Inducement Act, that gives up to a half a billion dollars to a corporation willing to build the pipeline.

With an existing pipeline from Alaska and supplies one day running out it would be a natural step to tie in Iranian and Russia natural gas supplies through their own interconnecting pipelines o Alaska. Such construction projects as well as all on and offshore oil and gas development projects in the Arctic would need to build pipelines along corridors above any potential rise in sea level created by global warming caused in part by burning fossil fuels making greenhouse gasses released into the atmosphere.
The state of Alaska has invested in a Trans-Canada and Exxon bid potential gas line development project. Trust of the state government of the Exxon Corporation in something like asking a vampire to keep a pint of blood in their refrigerator when your own has broke.
Many people suspect the global oil corporations of manipulating oil and gas prices over the decades. It is known though that Russia, Iran and Qatar have huge natural gas fields, and many places are not short in supply either. Global political and financial networking has made shareholder investment in transnational corporations common and in conflict with the interests of state governments and democracy in innumerable instances.
The state of Alaska should investment development money in Alaska instead of Canada. It should create jobs in Alaska instead of Canada. It should never, ever trust the Exxon Corporation, and should be aware that a conflict of interest fundamentally exists between seller and buyer in a bargaining situation. It is unlikely that Exxon or any other trans-national oil and gas corporation would seek to maximize the value of a seller of oil and gas reserves. It is also unreasonable that the state of Alaska should permanently make its sales of natural gas dependent upon transportation through a Canadian gas pipeline operated or owned by the Exxon Corporation. Such a plan is idiocy.
In former decades I too have rarely supported construction of a gas line through Canada. Finally I came to my senses through philosophical maturity gained only over time and contemplative thought. Presently the state of Alaska should construct its gas pipeline to tidewater in Alaska at the Kenai Peninsula and keep maximal fluidity of sales of product through super-tanker gas ships to anyplace on Earth in the future (such as Los Angeles) that want to buy the product at a fair price.
Einstein's Special Theory & The Six Days of Creation
Some of us have wondered how God could create the world in six days. Its a mighty prospect of creation. Yet we believe that God is omnipotent and easily able to accomplish such projects. How then we wonder, as we believe in evolution theory too, can we reconcile these too theories?
Einstein helped us quite a lot. His Twins Paradox provides an example of one way time could move differently at the same speed in two different places. An hour for one twin moving at the speed of light would seem to a twin hanging out in the U.S. Congress listening to a speech to take a hundred years. Time is relative to motion. Motion is a function of the scalar field of dimensions, mass and energy perhaps. God is above all that and issued the mass and energy to start with.
No that does not mean He had to just issue the Universe like a croquet player giving a hit to one ball next to an opponent's sending it outward while He can only watch it travel. God's continuing super-reality power above the subjective Universe would allow Him to do whatever he likes with it at any place of space-time.
We don't want to make that the point of this essay though. The explanation for how evolution's apparent 13.7 billion year-old Universe could fit in to six days of creation is pretty obvious by now though-you might have guessed. The use of God of one day might be a little faster and qualitatively better than a human-earth centered use of one how. His one hour may seem like a billion years to us.
We might wonder if he only needed to create the first three minutes of the Universe though with the rest pre-designed within it letting it grow like a plant seed. I think it's possible to believe that he created the entire history of the Universe though-including the future, in that six days. As in computer programming on a hierarchical flowchart, larger, higher level modules may contain smaller units with vast detail. In theory even a few seconds for God might be enough to issue a trillion year Universe from start to finish. Our own universe may have been entirely completed in those six days, and our futures determined there and then. Human beings are limited to living within space time at it’s slower relative pace, and have no higher-level ability to view the completed modules that comprise the space-time of our Universe.
If the entire history and future of the Universe was made in six days letting God take a day off on the seventh-that would explain how everything is predetermined yet seems to be somewhat free from our human point of view.
God could create six large modules and several smaller branch modules. Like a wheeled mechanism with gears, larger wheels could travel more slowly yet include as much time as smaller gear space-time modules turning much faster. Those smaller module-gears could be compared to the time experience of God at His faster speed to our universe of billions of years that were to God like six days.
Thinking about space-time and relativity within this theistic speculation of reconciliation of the Bible to evident facts of physics and cosmology I have thought a little more about neutron stars and black holes as smaller gears with a faster spin rate than planets in some instances, and with more power. Not being a physicst I may upset a few establish notions here, yet it is just a contemplation of solid-state physics a little though since I am on the topic.
Singularities of black holes compact and reduce mass to its smallest components-maybe one dimensional strings. There is an absurdity in the concept of gravitational force concentrationg mass, breaking it up into smaller pieces such as neutrons and may strings of one dimensions before packing it all together into one super-string solid. That’s just not very logical. That super-concentrate would be some kind of thing for-itself.
What force could keep the strings apart under such pressure? Could one string made from all the other strings acquire infinite energy or would some hypothetical limit exist?
One logical possibility is that black holes breaking down mass convert it, or stuff it as basic string energy, into extra dimensions (the six extra dimensions of string theory). That energy stuffed into extra dimensions under extreme pressure converts the strings into space-time within six dimensions. That infusion of energy into extra-dimensions displaces or slopes the normal four dimensions of space time creating the appearance of space-time curvature and the affects of gravity. I prefer that concept to one with gravitons as particles flowing outwardly as a field to draw in mass and energy forcefully.
Even Hawking radiation would fail to exist in this theoretical context. At least the amount of Hawking radiation would not account for a preponderance of the escape of information and mass-energy from the black hole back into normal space-time required for the criteria of Shannon entropy to be satisfied wherein no information is lost from the Universe.
With all that mass converted into a basic form and energy as well converted into a third state of being as six extra dimensions of space-time, information easily goes outside the event horizon of the black hole as space-time curvature effects of the four normal dimensions by the smaller dimensions infused with the mass-energy input to the black hole singularity.
Perhaps the concept has no support, yet it is an interesting consideration for myself at least. There is a little more though. I should clarify that gravitons would not exist since the curvature of space time by smaller dimensions acting upon our four normal dimensions would be sufficient for the appearance of gravity. The six extra dimensions and there space-time field acting upon our four might also produce the scintillation of ‘virtual particles’ that appearance in the four-dimensional vacuum briefly. The transfer of mass to black holes and extra dimensions through singularities may also displace the normal four dimensional space time, or augment it, increasing the rate of expansion of out Universe.
The neo-Platonist philosopher Plotinus believed that The One – the Person we think of as God, required no physical extension into space or time. Perhaps the ultimate concentration of mass or energy as a space-time field itself concentrated requires nothing at all if it is a product of God. The concept of creation ex nihilo becomes somewhat simple in a context like that. Well, if not simple, at least intellectually what one might expect.
A release of dimensions from the most powerful concentrated form possible-from a Supreme Being that has no need at all for physical existence or lower level emanations such as mass or energy, might have occurred faster than light before slowing to sub-light speed, yet we might anticipate that the omnipotent, omnipresent and infinite Being that requires no physical existence to Create a Universe is not restricted or limited to one particular location or idea before the issuance of any sort of Universe or multiverse.
The six days of God referenced in the book of Genesis was ample time at His relative experience of time to create billions of years, or trillions of years of human, Earth relative time-at least that’s what I believe we might infer from Einstein’s special theory of relativity and Genesis.

Barry Commoner and Today's Ecosphere Conservatives
Barry Commoner's ideas were a leading force in American recognition of the role human development plays in destroying the ecosphere in which all life participates. Today with a concern about global warming-a righteous concern, and recycling, it is easy to lose sight of the fundamental criteria that Barry Commoner recognized as a biologist and empirical analyst.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barry_Commoner
His 1971 book 'The Closing Circle' provided a clue to the effect that human fabrication of materials have upon the living environment. From the first appearance of life on Earth in a simple form processing minerals there was a need to 'close the circle' that would make the world firendly for life. Photosynthetic life forms developed to process the carbon wastes of simpler plants. As life progressed in complexity there was a continuum of biospheric synergy wherby the waste of one product support the development of others. The living biosphere is a self-reinforcing thing Commoner recognized. He also realized that mankind in producing synthetic products that are not bio-degradeable was laying waste to the ecosphere.
Barry Commoner wrote before the creation of scientific awareness of global warming. He also wrote before the advent of a formal discipline of low-entropy environmental economics. It would be a very great challenge to fabricate all of humanity's manufactured needs in a biophysical format apposite to the vitality ofthe ecosphere, yet that is the challenge before us today, and human development of the commons must needs respect human spiritual liberty and a natural conservatorship of a lawful nature until the laws of God and nature and written on hearts and minds.
