When the U.S. Supreme Court ordered California to reduce its over crowed prisons from 140,000 to 80,000 the state was presented with another challenge to government planning logic that has increasingly tended to fail to comprehend the complex social complex of compresence of environmental and economic use. California prisons are money pits, yet if a surplus of criminals are not to be reallocated to society to structure organized crime networks the state of California should develop a new theory of prison construction and function.
It may be possible for California to catch and release criminals in the future with better electronic monitoring, or better armed citizens with more liberal gun laws may better be able to defend themselves against criminal assault. If the U.S. Government ever creates an efficient border control zone with Mexico stopping all illegal aliens from entering California it may be reasonable to just ship convicted criminals from Mexico back home if they have minor sentences. Certainly California politics has created an inefficient penal system that is expensive and fails to serve the people effectively. The state goals should include low-cost prevention of crime, swift arrest and correction of criminals, and a prison methodology that functions with ecological efficiency on a sustainable basis.
Plainly a fully employed, well adjusted and happy society with few criminals is better than an indebted, economically and ecologically dysfunctioning society blundering along on a non-sustainable basis.
Because the topic is rich with points to consider I shall write about just a few salient features of how to structure purposeful new prisons at much lower social cost. As it is, the very construction technology of prisons and theory of the use of prisons creates an inverse efficiency contracting phenomena providing least service at highest cost. So rewriting the script for processing convicts through a few years of rehabilitation is in order. Yet society is itself in need of ecological economic rehabilitation.
With 60,000 surplus prisoners the state may need to build 60 new prisons. Convict labor to build these prisons is available, and the prisons when complete would be sold to the private sector as completed artificial mountain shaped low-entropy condominium or business spaces. The convicts would be guaranteed a five year occupancy (if they have a five year sentence left) in the new prison before it was sold, in order that they are not just being exploited. They must have something to work for as they move from the tents to the individual room with a view of the desert.
New California convicts should be treated as new work hires set to construct prisons shaped like small, artificial mountain ranges with ecological economic methods and values. Ecological value ought to be added to the desert lot on which they labor. New habitat for wildlife on the exteriors should arise as the prisons goes up. Empty moats and berms would be constructed to contain convicts from escaping, yet like the naval academy graduates, the prisoners would be trained to be on a contractual schedule of advance, and they might be motivated to complete the course of incarceration.
Low-entropy renewable ecological economics could be a slid basis for prisoner rehabilitation. It would at least be better than training them to lift weights before going to auto shop. Training a prison culture to be chop shopping car thieves an enforcers in a stupid auto-culture isn't very bright ultimately and presents significant social costs reinforcing wrong ecological and economic values.
California prisons might also use a principle of gunnite concrete monolithic dome construction of super-insulated, low cost individual domes to isolate inmates yet provide them with continuing computer delivered education in fundamental as well as solar panel maintenance. Prisoners should never be permitted to congregate or share meals except after church, yet they should have daily opportunities for long distance jogging on a track individually.
Some prisons might be built with new low cost fabrication techniques that provide an immediate infrastructure for mass solar power private sector power production. Prisoners might be trained to be solar panel facility operators. The might be trained to move solar collecting devices toward the sun, keep them clean, wire them correctly and perhaps install wiring circuits to deliver power to the grid.
The traditional vocational training efforts and physical structure of California prisons should abolished in the new prison projects. Recidivism rates are high as it is, so transforming into a new project at lower cost with far higher potential direct public return is a reasonable change to make.
Prison food should not be cooked. Fresh vegetables and fruits-grown on the new prison grounds when possible, along with bread and very basic, plain yet healthy fare should be provided. if monolithic micro-domes are selected then prisoners would sleep on the floor with a mat and fiber optic video surveillance would be ubiquitous. prisoners should learn a non-aggressive, secure, ecologically rational, renewable lifestyle while incarcerated. Perhaps they could actually be helpful to society when they 'graduated', even if they are not qualified to work in traditional occupations directly. If they are generally better people than they were, their addition to society would be a plus rather than more usual corruption in the usual environmental deficit producing economy.

What About Sartre and Hemingway's Characterization?
I wish I knew. If Hemingway's characters lived in a mobius strip twisted to resemble a world shaped like a pretzel they would just deal with it maybe with determination and compressed meaning, possibly even aware of the strangeness of it's shape. The characters would accept it as natural though. With short, intentional strides progress would be made. beyond a stream ford tent poles would go up, face paint come off and rifles reloaded. Perimeter guards might listen for the distant drone of an approaching plane or the hoot of an owl stalking the darkness.
Hemingway's Robert Jordan just dies meaninglessly at the end of For Whom the Bell Tolls getting shot trying to cross a road cut across a mountain slope. Nothing more than why did the chicken cross the road to it. In a way Hemingway is more existential than Sartre. In that sense of meaninglessness can the government ever fairly say that anything is an existential threat?
Sartre's characters would probably reflect a more about the nature and relationships of what they see and experience; even if they were about to die. They might die thinking otherwise as they disappeared into a mind whirlpool of toxic chocolate neuron connection dissolution.
The more reflective, existentially immersed character is more popular in some ways now than the Hemmingway guy-at least for some bureaucratic fiction and/or non-fiction writers. They may comment on existential threats importing Sartre's philosophical term of subjective rationalism into the vocabulary of political realism.
Osama Bin Laden was an existential terrorist in such a contextual lexicon. Reality intruding into political subjectivism is sometimes regarded as an existential invasion of collective personal space. We might prefer that objective, implicit terminology be used in government instead of making even the federal deficit a subjective cognitive experience.
Sartre's fiction characters such as in the Age of Reason or The Condemned of Altoona had at least a narrator to reflect upon the objectivity of the circumstance they found themselves in. In political existentialism one can be placed into circumstances not of one's choosing.
Sartre's characters always retained their ability to say no to a situation's demands for conformal behavior, yet of course they could lose their existence for doing so, or alternatively, they might have little room for choice (as when the condemned were waiting their turn to be taken to a firing squad and shot they could just say no to their fear about it).
Political and environmental circumstances that impose the will of others or of nature upon one's personal experience adversely become existential adversities for politicians only when the adversity is generated from a class rival. That brings us to awareness of the politically proprietary nature of the designation of existential adversary in contemporary non-fiction political narrative writing.
In my opinion Sartre would have placed politcally common social constructions with a Critique of Dialectical Reason context rather than that of existentialism. In Being and Nothingness existentialism is developed as a rational investigation of the subjective and objective nature of personal experience. It is a kind of ontology of mind. When used for a collective experience it tends to break down, or have its meaning replaced by a different meaning.
If existentialism is a subjective criterion, fiction writing and character development is not quite so much subjective. Characters are developed with objective words, terms and labels to provide a reason understandable to any reader for their actions. Even so we may like the philosophically minded character's objective view of his own circumstances as if it were subjective. The mob that has taken over the public square and become a revolutionary government is an exciting, swirling sea of humanity taking him along in the currents. Perhaps he will become a new political figure himself or become a destitute, starving and unpopular class outcast. It is exciting to consider the complete complex of compresent possibilities without too much effort as a subjective encounter in life.
Of course there are other points of view in the socially dialectical world of reason that we might visit with an omniscient narrator peering into the minds of the primary protagonists of our experience. Yet as non-omniscient citizens we might be limited to describing the social dialectic of political interaction as a phenomenality with causal mechanics in itself. Then we find our characterization of the commons and its events as personally existential still, yet for others and in-itself entirely other. The bureaucratic application of existentialism to mean 'existing things' annihilates the subjective element of existentialism and replaces it with the commons and its political lexicon. The sadistic nature of government expresses itself in the annihilation of the value or primacy of citizen subjectivity.
Not to say that government is invariably sadistic. It is only occasionally sadistic as it actualizes its collective otherness as a for-itself through wars, revolutions and setting of tax policy up and down. Then the lexicon of power becomes too familiar arising to negate individual privacy.
Making the commons a transcending lexical social reality for-itself may stimulate citizen efforts to keep the invasive government communications remote-beyond the border of decency implicitly a civil and human right. We find Sartre's characterization of his personal subjective experience in 'Being and Nothingness' quite a bit different from the description of the collective commons dialectical 'narrating' itself as a political agent in history for-itself.

President Obama Clarifies Mid-East Policy Speech With Legal Definition of Swap-n-Historial Revision and Unspecified Future Considerations
President Obama suggested that the Palestinians should advance to Israel's 1967 borders before the Arabs attacked last week, later suggesting that critics of his plan had misunderstood him. Our Presidential language interpretor offers the opinion that the President meant that he is a Harvard lawyer and they-the listeners are not, and thus are stupid and simultaneously misunderstand him.
The President discovered in December 2010 that giving up entirely on budget negotiations by extending tax cuts for the rich for the remainder of his administration could be a paradigm swapped for present Israeli-Palestinian negotiations. All the Jews need to do is just fall back to the pre-1967 boundary and the Palestinians are sure to become democrats for peace and love with Israel.
The correctly interpreted meaning of falling back to 1967 borders with land swaps is the borders of Israel should be where they were in 1967 before Moslems attacked with unspecified swapping going on. Exemplifying the sophistication of Harvard Law School alumni supremacy plundering language meanings of the non-Harvard laity, he suggested before a Jewish organization that he had also said that land should be 'swapped'. Swaping land in Political Real Estate legal theory with or without suicide bombers or intafadahs is part of the curriculum of the better elite law schools. Swapping studies are of course given as class offerings in Dibs and Divisions In The Advanced Legal Theory of International Swaps, don't you now. Teams of swapping theorists are expected to descend upon Israel, the West Bank and Gaza soon. Eleven dimensional political boundary specialists are in surplus after the layoffs caused by the 2008 home mortgage derivatives collapse. This may be good news for the U.S. economy potentially dropping the unemployment rate as much as one percent as Swappo moves to the Hamas entity.
The helpful English as a second language pointer the President provided -in order that Americans might be able to comprehend the meaning of swap as a legal term- clears everything up. Now even oppressed women can swap their Burkhas for ploughshares equipped with advanced quantum computing twitting units.
In land contracts the undistributed term 'swap' means that any generality within extra-legal, extra-territorial judicial boundaries may be conveyed to the party of the first part without the participation of the second, if there is a first or second party or even a third.
Lunch was served at the meeting then and it became plain that Washington D.C. would be named as the undesignated land of swap with future considerations. Swap could go to arbitration to decide if there will be a season after all.
Cynics might suggest that the plan was plain from the start, and that everyone knew that the Jews would swap their present land for the aforementioned 67 borders with Palestinians who would give up undesignated considerations-perhaps entangled quanta super-positioned between the Negev and the Gaza, to provide certainty where none existed before.
What the President may have really meant was that Israel would take some land beyond its 67 borders in swap with Palestinians who would take some land held by Israel beyond the 67 borders. Certainly that clarification of 67 borders as being redefined with revisionism or swap-enhanced 67 borders was useful for the stupid listening to the President last week.

Apparent Realism and Non-Locality
Popular physics books by experts let non-scientific fans follow the play by play efforts of cosmologists and quantum mechanical researchers in the sport of conquering ignorance. We watch a thoughtful new guard get a sudden insight on a new theory, steal the ball and race down the court with momentum for a polarized, spin, angled jump theory off the glass for three quarks just as time for teleportation runs out.
Philosophers and theologians too may regard developments in the field and offer their opinions of the game's meaning and progress, how it affects the weather and on the meaning of life for the saved.
We can enjoy learning about random numbers generated from quantum state measurements, or compare the rapture of God to quantum teleporation believing that God could get it done much better than the seemingly poor prospects of scientists lifting fossil fuel burning vehicle voters to distant worlds and galaxies in a teleportation beam.
The topics of realism and non-locality in quantum mechanical experimental physics have practical consequences and apparent proofs. Entanglement and super-positioning of properties of quantum particles are subject to experiments developing along lines producing qubits useful for quantum computing.
Philosophical explanations for the deeper, underlying reasons why quantum mechanics has what seems to be Einstein's 'spooky action at a distance' tend to be secondary to applied physics research that allows investigation of how given particles may be made to be entangled and share their properties of spin angle or etc. through permutations of measurement and teleported to an entangled blank quantum far away faster than light speed.
Philosophically one wonders about the entire nature of the quantum field, yet of course as it is, the conjecture needs to develop fundamentally as extrapolations from the data generated by the experimenters.
In reading 'Dance of the Photons' by Anton Zeigler, one discovers some of the methodology and developments of researchers in the field of what may lead even to one-way quantum computers.
That is a fascinating idea; quantum computers with every possible answer already existing- that a librarian must somehow elicit and answer from through measurements that determine an answer.
Philosophically one wonders if the logic of randomly generated qubits may disregard an equally extended generation of definition of randomicity and order as produced by experimenters in sending on quanta into one of two equally accessible conditions.
What is random in one number system may seem orderly within others. Order can appear within one set and disappear within other simultaneously. There may be more powerful energy as a kind of micro unified field perhaps wrapping up extra, smaller dimensions, or as a non-specific field of super-positioning with or without innate intelligence that is a meta-criterion supporting the reduction into the particles-wave probability packets of the standard model of quantum mechanics; who can say?
These generated series of random numbers, or apparent random numbers, may be a kind of window into the super-positioned structure of the all-possible wave-states from which the measured quanta collapsed to become a qubit. One would expect that all-possible potential wave-packet states realm to have a far more subtle internal cohernece than its external, decohered states might indicate. Perhaps in generating apparently random series of qubits one can discerne structures of flux and echoes of influence shaping subtle that sublime universe-for-itself.
There may be a balance or 50-50 split of individual photons to equal channels for physical experiments entangling and superpositioning quanta when measured in some cases if each collapsed state of measurement, or channel is equally valid for the disposition of momentum of the photon. Of course over time the statistics balance out the equal validity of the channels. Given an infinite series of numbers that are o's or 1's produced by the measured qubit state measured one must assume that some distribution patterns might emerge. Of course in an infinite series the first trillion bits could be 0's, for one has infinity to balance the account, yet one must more reasonably assume that there must be some sort of locality in the distribution of the qubit so at any given time, or in any given section of the series the total allocation is not to lop-sided or out of balance. One might wonder if there is some cause for that statistical balance based upon distribution of a qubit to one of two equally valid channels. A prior or meta-causal criteria for distribution of quanta or anything else is fairly basic. In attributing quantum allocations to random distribution it seems that one may simply lack the knowledge of what patterns or causes exist that let quanta assume various states.
A cloud of quanta in super-positions probably has a physics and physical causal order mostly unknown today in this era where discovery of how to affect, entangle and measure individual quanta is the standard. It seems apparent that the cloud of super-positioned, all-possible worldlines quantum uncertainty from which measurements of individual quanta are made and determined has a kind of memory or regulatory function for itself that coordinates, balances or selects the quantum states that appear to observers to occur with information exchanged faster than light.
One get the notion that like the 'Library of Babel' Zeigler mentions (Jorge Luis Borges' short story) the realm of non-collapsed all possible locations of quanta is a field unmeasurable by present observer tools that has its own accounting system. Maybe some of the unused potential wave-states shared by an entangled particle collapse withdraw support from an entangled particle compelling it to use the only one remaining for it, and that is the same state as that occupied by the collapsed, entangled particle.
Zeilgler summarized The Copenhagen Interpretation of quantum mechanics made by Neils Bohr in his book. He also provided a quote from Bohr by way of Aage Petersen. "There is no quantum world. There is only an abstract quantum physical description. It is wrong to think that the task of physics is to find out how nature is. Physics concerns what we can say about nature."
That opinion would seem to summarize a pragmatic approach to the methods of quantum mechanics. Theory, observation and experiment move along together. What works is a basic criteria for physical theorists.
Philosophical inquiries into the nature of the Universe, quantum world metaphysics should continue so long as pole think; on occasion stimulated by data from scientific and logical investigations.

'Dance of the Photons' comments, ideas etc.
Reading through Anton Zeigler's interesting introduction to quantum mechanical superposition of states, entanglement, teleportation and other issues I have just a few comments to make here.
Zeigler is a physicist who worked on a project to verify elements of non-locality in quantum particles in a 1996 experiment (or was it 1999?). These reader friendly ideaas of a principle author in his area of expertise are usually good reading, as is this one.
http://www.amazon.com/Dance-Photons-Einstein-Quantum-Teleportation/dp/0374239665
I am yet quite curious about the unanswered causal explanation for the entanglement of quantum particles at any distance in theory. Zeigler mentions that a mission to Mars might offer astronouts the opportunity to test quantum theory on the way as they transmit information to Earth control.
Perhaps quantum particles are tied into smaller than planck length spacing and field data that has no relativity problems that are perhaps applicable to macro-universal objects inclusive even of bosons and fermions.
The philosopher W.V.O. Quine wrote a book titled 'Ontological Relativity' about logic and language, and I wonder if aspects of that do not apply to the quantum phenomena a little. Superpositioning of multiple quantum states that are undertermined until observed by a scientist would seem to bring quantum states within an observational ontology in-itself. I wonder if many of the ideas of logic used in quantum mechanical experiments are up to date, and of course I also wonder if the obstructions, filters or quantum switches such as partially reflective mirrors used as beam splitters or ways to give a particular polarization to a phton or bound photon pairs do not determine the system for itself. I thus also wonder if the logic is good. Why one wonders do the photons not respond illogically at times if there is no local reality at some point. Perhaps one might redefine the ontology or meaning of locality.

Afghanistan and Memorial Day
The occupation of Afghhanistan has come at high cost for the United States. In the decade of U.S. presence casualties physical and psychological were plentiful. reportedly morale is at its lowest level in six year. Maybe the Pentagon's choice to send openly gay troops will cheer them up.
I was surprised in reading an article this morning-I believe it was in the Anchorage Daily News, about the nature of the Afghanistan millitary venture. About 50% of the soldiers/marines said they had killed someone, and two thirds said they had been within a 100 yards of an i.e.d. explosion going office. The article was on the subject of depression amongst the troops.
Some believe that depression is a biological build-up of some sort of proteins in lipids that eventually could be remedied. Yet depression may be a rational reaction to bad outlook in physical location and circumstance. it may be that depression was a natural stimulus to make an individual walk away from a bad area in search ofa more cheerful circumstance. Perhaps all troops leaving Afghanistan should be required to serve six months at some large military post in Florida with lots of golfing, swimming and fishing before being released to regular service or home.
There are several reasons for soldiers serving extended and recurrent duty in Afghanistan. For one thing, there seems to be little purpose to the occupation. It is possible to invade a nation and take it for one's own side. It is far more difficult to force people to conform to particular behavior or even worse, to convert to an alien religion or secular behavior and moral structure. U.S. efforts to change Afghanistan for a decade into something palatable to policy planners has all the earmarks of cluster confusion with dubious prospects for working.
In the United States the bottom ten percent of society seem to be increasingly written off. The Democratic Party is a party for the middle class amongst whom the word poor is politically incorrect. Even the Obama medical plan is unreasonably designed to be fairly ineffective for the poor. Veterans too have long range pros[pects for less than optimal medical services. The bottom ten percent also has lots of veterans and perhaps more in the future as they find work difficult, and perhaps selling phone service or mortages difficult to adjust too.
Serving in Afghanistan for several years in a mission with bad fundamental political logic is costly to taxpayers and citizens in several ways. Neither does Afghanistan have much oil-nor has Syria-so its more difficult to find a corrupt leader to put in office who can buy off long range support with a trophic relationship to the natural resource. Afghanistan has poppies for a natural resource and that creates a different kind of corruption.
Osama Bin Ladin recently killed in Pakistan provides and opportunity for America to draw down military forces. Pakistan evidently had some elements keeping the Os on a short leash able spent his life as he was old and 9-11 a decade gone. Moslem terrorism may perhaps be wanted tobe regarded as a youth movement.
Depression amidst military forces with an uncertain role not comparable to something more cheerful like the western front of world war one where in it was possible to have complete victory (although politicians allowed an armistace and something less than complete victory leading as Patton and others were concerned about in a German willingness to continue war later). Few wars may cause soldiers to be cheerful though, yet if moral is to be good there should be some reasonable objective for its prosecution instead of no certain direction or goal.
Defending U.S. borders with no errors or illegal aliens making it through-a good foreign intelligence human services sectors, a fine counter-terrorist black op force-these seem more reasonable methods to develop effective counter-terrorist planetarey operations rather than masses of conventional troops deployments.
The United States might be a better moral leader through fully employing it's own citizens and transitioning to an ecologically effective, renewable and low-wastage economic policy that could create knowledge about how to effectively manage economic and natural resources instead of wasting them. America's global corporatist leadership tends to concentrate wealth and create a far from optimal employment security prospect for Americans and people of nations in which they do business.
The poor abroad and in the United States a find they are the last to receive, if ever, competent medical service, shelter and food. That is a perpetually reinforced aspect of an aloof political economy driving the U.S.A. to participate in the creation of a new world order of networks and authoritarianism. Few individuals will find it possible to opt out of the new world order. Democracy by the mob-a mob of networks controlled by circumstantial preferred network organization, will draw in oil producing nations, former communist nations and nominal democracies alike. Where depressed soldiers find a lot to be cheerful about in contemporary U.S. foreign policy I don't know. I admire them for trying to think about the political world while participating in' the great game' that some believe is a way of defending U.S. interests.
I am fairly skeptical about the policy of the Bush II and Obama administration being the best worldline to find U.S. national security in (comparing it to quantum mechanics). Maybe American polticians just aren't very bright. That is surprising and disappointing. Nixon at least hired an intelligent Secretary of State-as did Regan. Perhaps its time to restore that position so that the job is led by someone making the policy up effectively while the President works on the U.S. economy.
I was surprised in reading an article this morning-I believe it was in the Anchorage Daily News, about the nature of the Afghanistan millitary venture. About 50% of the soldiers/marines said they had killed someone, and two thirds said they had been within a 100 yards of an i.e.d. explosion going office. The article was on the subject of depression amongst the troops.
Some believe that depression is a biological build-up of some sort of proteins in lipids that eventually could be remedied. Yet depression may be a rational reaction to bad outlook in physical location and circumstance. it may be that depression was a natural stimulus to make an individual walk away from a bad area in search ofa more cheerful circumstance. Perhaps all troops leaving Afghanistan should be required to serve six months at some large military post in Florida with lots of golfing, swimming and fishing before being released to regular service or home.

President Obama Bungles Policy Speech-Calls for Israel to Fall Back to pre-1967 Borders
President Obama's middle eastern speech evidently hadn't much interest in the middle east and North Africa. It was the administration's 'were on top of it' speech that comprises a future post hoc political alibi for the region without much present substance.
http://www.nytimes.com/2011/05/20/world/middleeast/20speech.html?partner=rss&emc=rss
President Obama is of course a Republican light global corporatist U.S. branch public relations guy with more interest in foreign affairs than in creating jobs for Americans. In December 2010 he was the fullback for Republican tax cut extensions carrying the ball to victory for the remainder of his administration. Without a meaningful middle east policy except to expand markets he relies upon support for political agitation to overthrow governents in the region to advance the interests of youth and a burgeoning population. Youth may provide energy, yet without discipline it may be badly invested effort that occurs-and wisdom tends to develop with age. Those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it the axiom goes.
Israel doesn't need to fight another, more desparate conflict against close in Palestinainas enabled by President Obama to become a perennial, immanent threat. Ad hoc terrorist methods given enough time to develop tend to actualize.
Israel since the first Arab attack following the Balfour agreement has defended itself against a Moslem world agitating for its destruction. President Obama in seeking to serve as the leading edge of Palestinian aggression through political means desires that Israel fall back to the pre- six day war borders-of course Israel has already given up much of that land without getting anything besides more terrorism and less security.
Syria was given to French administration by the British following the defeat of the Ottoman Empire; there is no transcendentatl reason for Isreal ever to relenquich it to the present or a differrent government in Syria. Neither is there a rational reason for Israel to believe that in giving up part of Jerusalem or a 30 mile boundry extension beyond the 67 boundary that it should increase its security.
Bringing the Palestinians closer to Israel merely makes it simpler for their terrorist operatives to intimidate Israelies. New technology may arise from Israel and other locations-yet the basic functions of remove from artillery and rocket fire access is still a good security element. While the Palestinians believe they will can have everything they want besides the final solution to the existence of the state of Isreal through U.S. leverage on Israel they shall continue their terrorism as might the I.R.A. if the U.S.A. was actively involved in getting Britian to give up Irish territory methodically from Northern Ireland.
There are Moslem fundamentalists whom will never accept the existence of Israel. There are American Presidents whom are too daft to understand that. Israael; needs a hard and defendsible border that admits no illegal aliens to undermine its security and economy.
The President as the new Republican light Democratic party vanguard leader has abandoned the traditional values of the party on U.S. economics. He fails to understand that the world is not moving toward a final peaceful condition in which Harvard University graduates and lawyers run the world benevolently. More than 400,000 jobs are lost in the U.S.A. every month and far fewer are created. The U.S. needs development and ecological reform, and less concern with the protracted chaos in the middle east and North Africa. We should defend Israel with compentent combat engineering and hair trigger assureed resp[onse to substantive aggression upon Israel from opposition force national elements in the area and help what Palestinians are willing to live peacefully in their own territory at a safe distance from Israel until their hate withers away.

On Zeilinger's 2010 book 'Dance of the Photons'
Reading Zeilinger's 2010 book on light quanta 'Dance of the Photons', quantum superposition and entanglement-a popular book for novices at quantum mechanics, is interesting. The book is pretty good reading although a little specialized for those wishing to get right to the main cosmological descriptions of reality from largest to smallest...one likes to learn of the most recent theory of what occurred before the inflation of the Universe before one's coffee gets cold.
So far as I have read, there is fascinating historical summation of the Einstein-Rosenberg, Heisenberg, Schrodinger, Dirac, Pauli developments of theory in the field (non-technical of course for readers). Einstein's recovery of a particle theory of light from the popular wave theory of the day is brought out. It made me wish that the United States had a national laser and particle/microwave beam energy pipeline to taking energy from alternate sources such as wind and solar and beaming it around the nation with beam splitters and local applications for work in order to eliminate loss due to resistance in non-superconducting wires.
The idea that quantum packets of data-rather probability waves instead of either waves or point-particles, are represented by quantum theory, and that they may convey information faster than light through entanglement and superpositioning is a fruitful subject of thought. Obviously its easier to consider real things-maybe Calibi-Yau spaces developed with mathematical models of a sub-caliber character, than the missing, gaps inclined simultaneous two-places at once potential of quantum particles.
Astro-physics and solid state discoveries such as some Japanese researchers discovered recently of large planets without a local star to circle around are even easier to consider. One realizes that space may have a plethora of hidden, rocky planets and ice balls drfting unattached through the abyssal void of interstellar and even intergalactic space.
If light quanta are probability waves representationally within an electric field, one suspects that the entire field may have a pervasive pressure making quantum accounts ballance and providing the appearance of conveyance of information faster than light. Actually the topic of what makes the appearance of quantum superposition work so it can provide the same information to distal particles is one that can bring numerous theories to mind. Maybe when I have completed reading this book I will have a better idea about electrical fields and the place of photons journeying through them. The subject can be a little hazy at times.

On the Separation of Church and State
There are myriad viewpoints on social morality citizens may take, often applying said subjective moral princples without Kant's categorical imperative guiding their way. Amongst those political opinions one of the occasional most controversial is the separation of church and state.
Separation of church and state is a two-edged blade. The advantage may go to either element across history from the Moslem sword to the evil politicians of nefarious plundering raids.
Little junior sitting in his desk may be indoctrinated by the state religion of atheist loyalty to a godless phenomenalism. He may be taught a philosophical sum over histories called Darwin's Gambit-"a series of ordinal permutations with random prime number permutations leading through functions of base pairs and local clumps of space atoms from extra-micro dimensions generating sinusoidal, corkscrew wave patterns tapering off to subtle yet interesting infinities.
Proliferation of infinities in permutating functions is a technique to let the design of unlimited increase be an implicit element unfunded by energy. Patterns are illimitable, energy and mass are not.
We were led to believe the perspective of origins evolving through base pair constructions providing redundant temporal lines of computation.
So we may ask, is this so bad? What if teachers lead in bowing to Mecca a few times per day, or worship Wall Street, leading economic indicators or the global warming thermometer at Times Square next to the Atomic Detonation Clock (if such existed)?
Wouldn't it be more economical political theorists may ask, if the state and religions consolidated and made the President the head of The Church of Good and Righteous Subjects that Do Not Hate?
Already the U.S. Government has required that churches be non-profit to receive exempt tax status. So we see that the federal budget itself is apposite for its own requirements for churches to lose money. The separation of church and state in some respects may not be far enough. If churches must lose money then members cannot be shareholders and receive dividends, and some probably could use it. As it is the proplits are concentrated at the top in church and state hierarchies.
In some respects the people that complain about the separation of church and state may not be aware of world political history sufficiently to regard the wisdom in the policy.
Religions co-opted by state rulers become a tool for state repression of religious liberty. That can develop positively and negatively as in the official state approved churches of Nazi Germany, Communist China, the Byzantine Empire, The Abbasid Caliphate, The Ayatollah Khomeini's Iran and the atheism of the communist party in the Soviet Union.
Sure we know that religions are sometimes used by the corrupt to advance their financial interests disingenuously and that politics is too often exploited to give an unjust advantage to special interests to the disadvantage of honest people. The corruption of public interests and social justice may be synergetically enhanced by the combining of church and state under one roof or big dome of political power.
Yes, many of us still wish to live the moral life. Some of us do not wish to strive for the technical virtue of Socrates or the President of the World Bank, but just a little less than that-good enough. On the other hand, we may believe that many of our brethren are unscrupulous cheaters on all good things pretending even in church. We believe them dishonest even in government and when shouting out in support of public depravity. Well, these are perhaps reasons then to compartmentalize the moral mayhem and implement damage control measures like separation of church and state. The god emperor of Dune won't find a place in our backyard!
Jesus Christ in the garden of Gethsemene knew when the Prince of this World was on the way to arrest him. It is not in the Christian's interest to bring the Prince of the World into a position of church leadership.

Duinn's Conjecture ©2011GaryCGibson (science fiction)
Why would a chess champion cheat at the game? Would high pay and the quest for prestige drive a genius to murder for an illusion of profit?
I could think of no immediate motive for the possible crimes devastating the player’s ranks. Most players have what they need, though nothing is certain to prevent anyone from creating collateral damage for pay in some unknown way.
Power is a goal for-itself. Political power’s coefficient is a function decreasing intelligent, socially benefiting objectives.
Game players under covert contract may model strategies of implicit power development for political corruption. Government surveys are supposed to prevent unfair gaming of competition, yet even macro-economic game winnings of the early 21st century have been corrupted.
There are two players on the stage that we look upon. One Neglon Bacalar is the benighted genius resembling a heavy jowled clone of Vladimir Ilyich Lenin. The other is a tall, thin man with a dark two-day beard. A holographic timer floating above in air indicates the limits of time in one direction with standard, non-relativistic units.
The players are set apart a few dozen paces. The interval is filled in by a vortex of uncertain, discontinuous dimensions. Dimensions known and unknown warp the visible universe represented there in grotesqueries and complexities of surreality transcending themselves like the whimsy of forgetful multi-dimensional time.
Time-space and the meaning of that which might be experienced or understood differs for observers qualitatively within and without the game. Functions of constructions of things perceived vary in character between individuals as they do in the cascade of continua moved through eleven dimensional chess actions.
If the chess championship is to continue to remain competitively afloat somehow the fatality rate for players must be renormalized to social average from its present high of ten per cent.
My friend Ortiagon says something sotto voce to break my reflection; ‘So why it is the brains extrude wrongly, before their time? Not everything has been packed well enough into the right space-time, even with streets named after the best looking of the ruling elite’.
I look at Ortiagon’s neighbor, my chess watching second Maruos who said; ‘I ain’t wit ya on that Orti. They was always smarter en they should da been. Took the proplits of the east side and da west side and shuffled em together like so many cabbage piled up. It was da place wheyuh they all felt they was best, in front uh da cameras with the political gods on their side. That punches up the proud of human sacrifice through multi-dimensional crunch.’
Ortiagon without turning away from the mess in the space-box says ‘The cameras. Nothing like that anymore. Not since Shape Chicago phased out optic chips for oprichina. Every surface captures quantum impressions. Can’t fake the past without changing reality-make new local material reality precipitate through amputation integrators.’
I listen to Maruos and Ortiagon, smiling a little when I need to. I may slightly nod my head or making an interested uh huh sound while I study the flow of extra-dimensional chess displacement on-stage. The eleven dimensional chess championship season I subscribe to brings us Friday afternoons to watch space-time chess games unpack dimensional strings in temporal order. The dominant strategies emerge unscripted conclusively only scene by scene.
Following the constructions of extra-dimensional intrusions into our three-dimensions of space we experience virtual realities; real to them and us, yet temporal apparitions destined to disappear as suddenly as they arrive after becoming muscled out. Time, normally enough a linear sequence of events, is in the presentation often restructured with interpolated downloads from future and past.
Echoes from higher dimensional membranes are extracted and placed into the championship arena one at a time in no set temporal order beyond the gestalt of experience.
‘What ya think of the 2012 termination series Orti?’
Ortiagon has a bias toward the past; ‘It was the greatest election since 1066. Garbage collectors arrived to deplete every sort of anomaly harmful to human development, bagged it and stuffed it into six extra dimension chutes. It was the most economical use of extra micro-sized dimensional energy for space-time mosaic reallocating yet. The void left vacuum intensity currents increasing probability fields.’
‘Yeah, that’s how I feel about it too Orti.’
The summer championship series beginning in Ja June has depleted the chess teams in predictable ordinal increase. It is statistically predictable and inexplicable. Quantum computer aided strategies are allowed, yet of limited value with the higher temporal dimensional cutting and pasting displacing time and intention.
Certainly no player plans his own destruction as a part of winning strategy-they are not Jesus Christ-who required a fully God yet fully human nature simultaneously in order that at crucifixion and death someone remained alive to resurrect Him.
What use is a plan to build particular space-time content when the context in which the space-time is connected no longer exists? Uncertainty may be an aspect of the quantum world providing an appearance of space-time interval in given object dimensions, yet it may be quite certain in other dimensions. Substance can seem comparatively solid because of the lack of uncertainty and interval or spacing and timing.
Players use an encyclopedia of strategies to gain strategic and tactical advantages over the other side. That may mean trying to move the winning strategy from extra dimensions back to the very start of the game so it ends before the opponent can reply.
The game moves on for a few hours or days before the temporal history becomes rewritten as strategies in extra dimensions building up to retro-write a new past.
I am not of the opinion that it’s all a con-that the games just seem to last for hours when instead they end as soon as one walks in and the deleted temporal experience becomes like some kind of pharmaceutically engineered delusion-in other words, a cheap trick for a fast buck. It would be easy to believe if it weren’t for the things go on offstage in the more real world.
Dead reckoning calculations based on the best available physics theory give no better than a small probability of emerging with the winning time at the beginning of the game’s space-time alive. It is difficult to split time so fine when it may be wrapped on super-strings comprising a Universe in-itself. Time can resemble a context of mass energy construction irreducible from its position as a mass phenomenon.
The players that stay alive in the game are survivors of an existential cull. I might have said a process of natural selection, yet there is very little that is natural about it. It’s become a war game of intelligent design.
Neglon Bacalar is regarded as the brightest chess player of our time. He is nevertheless a remix specialist sampling fragments of winning tactics and sending them en mass with drone denial of extra-dimensional probability attacks on the beginning of the game until something drops through into place. Neglon sometimes seems to have a physical change on-stage as part of his strategy. Fans of the player’s passion for the game explain that by saying it brings him to commit his entire self to winning-maybe in a philosophical sense that means increasing his winnings in the form of extra-quark credits or social power.
Bacalar exploited the expansion of micro-dimensions in the game-field to change his being allowing the field to expand a little beyond its levies like swollen super-dimensional water. If he is entirely immersed in the game-field, perhaps even becoming one with partial fields of dimensions he might be considered to be cheating. Altering the dimensions to suit himself, deleting the competition with evil, placing himself in the position of being the god of eleven dimensional chess-these things are illegal.
Some believe Bacalar is addicted to the game like an oil spill on water gradually soaking deeply into the sand. Making itself one with the game even if poisoning it is an existential thing-to-do, an important thing to a trans-dimensional uncertainty as he may be, have been or become. His opponents and even teammates suffer high depletion.
I have been of a mind to believe that Bacalar was rigging the game and murdering his rivals. To some, winning is everything, even if the metaphysical footing is insubstantial, fleeting and of unknown purpose.
Bacalar may be a genius or a villain, I cannot be sure. Evidence might be simply the extra-dimensional deposition of the odd and unusual things; corpses in chaotic repose arriving suddenly like a Biblical plague of frogs even unto the halls and desks of government, the end of the world November 7, 2012 overturned after the fact with retro-time reassembly, inexplicable global atmospheric warming and melting of the ice sheets of the planet for which no scientific explanation could be advanced. No, if Bacalar has engineered the high unemployment rate and national debt he is an evil genius.
In a game theory for eleven dimensional chess that has beauty, one would think that construction of the best possible temporal order for living, sentient beings would be the object. The pursuit of the ultimate good should be a transcending goal materializing even within the game field as it might in the Universe or any possible Universe.
Minimizing the good would be antipathetic to reason, and we assume that reason for itself would be regarded as the good. Why then would good chess players move to create temporal evil?
Could an answer be that collateral damage is just an aspect of the actualizing of means to bring the best possible end? Or might it be held that the end is not universally regarded as inevitable or unique, and that the end goal of the game is not to secure the good-even if it is winning? For then the idea of what the good is, is lost for some players who bring collateral damage through extra-dimensions to the streets of the city outside the game arena?
We anticipated that soon, a player would make an ex-temporal move.
And it seemed a predictable, almost amateur move- Darwin’s Gambit; a series of ordinal permutations with random prime number permutations leading through functions of base pairs and local clumps of space atoms from extra-micro dimensions generating sinusoidal, corkscrew wave patterns tapering off to subtle yet interesting infinities. Proliferation of infinities in permutating functions is a technique to let the design of unlimited increase be an implicit element unfunded by energy. Patterns are illimitable, energy and mass are not.
We were led to believe the perspective of origins evolving through base pair constructions providing redundant temporal lines of computation.
Darwin’s gambit was a fair enough move against players without double, simultaneous tensors of quantum calculating holisms. Bacalar, if he expressed emotion, might express bemused incredulity at the move. He invested solely in hyper-dimensional constructions. I wondered if he had any ethics or moral beliefs that could let him infer the transcendent nature of the good. Perhaps it isn’t possible.
On stage Darwin’s Gambit was attempting envelopment. The progression assembled seven dimensional surges moving time to flicker backwards and fizzle against the reinforced walls of entropy Bacalar had placed within his unknown, unrecognized strategy. For the moment we remained to watch the game.
Ortiagon said ‘This is an exciting match don’t ya think? Balacar’s opponent ran a series of complex functions incompletely redefining the past and lost his place in the game.’
Ortiagon don’t you believe yourself that human life is a product of Darwin’s Gambit in an undefined finite series?
If a finite sinusoidal wave generating life exists it occurs phenomenally within a space-time continuum-a line within a hyper-cube. Its temporal dimensions are as apparent as they are surreal, as contingent upon hyper-reality as sub-dimensions are within meta-space.
If we are to observe reality, we need be limited to three spatial dimensions and of time. The spatial line of travel in more than three dimensions doesn’t allow coherent statistical ordering of atoms and larger structures in forms able to support carbon based life.
“Or any other form of biological life I would think. Still, hyper-dimensional life might exist in other forms’ said Ortiagon.
Yes Ortiagon, it’s an interesting thought.
Walking in the crowd through the lobby I thought that this should be an interesting game. Balacar’s opponent might survive a few rounds.
I could think of no immediate motive for the possible crimes devastating the player’s ranks. Most players have what they need, though nothing is certain to prevent anyone from creating collateral damage for pay in some unknown way.
Power is a goal for-itself. Political power’s coefficient is a function decreasing intelligent, socially benefiting objectives.
Game players under covert contract may model strategies of implicit power development for political corruption. Government surveys are supposed to prevent unfair gaming of competition, yet even macro-economic game winnings of the early 21st century have been corrupted.
There are two players on the stage that we look upon. One Neglon Bacalar is the benighted genius resembling a heavy jowled clone of Vladimir Ilyich Lenin. The other is a tall, thin man with a dark two-day beard. A holographic timer floating above in air indicates the limits of time in one direction with standard, non-relativistic units.
The players are set apart a few dozen paces. The interval is filled in by a vortex of uncertain, discontinuous dimensions. Dimensions known and unknown warp the visible universe represented there in grotesqueries and complexities of surreality transcending themselves like the whimsy of forgetful multi-dimensional time.
Time-space and the meaning of that which might be experienced or understood differs for observers qualitatively within and without the game. Functions of constructions of things perceived vary in character between individuals as they do in the cascade of continua moved through eleven dimensional chess actions.
If the chess championship is to continue to remain competitively afloat somehow the fatality rate for players must be renormalized to social average from its present high of ten per cent.
My friend Ortiagon says something sotto voce to break my reflection; ‘So why it is the brains extrude wrongly, before their time? Not everything has been packed well enough into the right space-time, even with streets named after the best looking of the ruling elite’.
I look at Ortiagon’s neighbor, my chess watching second Maruos who said; ‘I ain’t wit ya on that Orti. They was always smarter en they should da been. Took the proplits of the east side and da west side and shuffled em together like so many cabbage piled up. It was da place wheyuh they all felt they was best, in front uh da cameras with the political gods on their side. That punches up the proud of human sacrifice through multi-dimensional crunch.’
Ortiagon without turning away from the mess in the space-box says ‘The cameras. Nothing like that anymore. Not since Shape Chicago phased out optic chips for oprichina. Every surface captures quantum impressions. Can’t fake the past without changing reality-make new local material reality precipitate through amputation integrators.’
I listen to Maruos and Ortiagon, smiling a little when I need to. I may slightly nod my head or making an interested uh huh sound while I study the flow of extra-dimensional chess displacement on-stage. The eleven dimensional chess championship season I subscribe to brings us Friday afternoons to watch space-time chess games unpack dimensional strings in temporal order. The dominant strategies emerge unscripted conclusively only scene by scene.
Following the constructions of extra-dimensional intrusions into our three-dimensions of space we experience virtual realities; real to them and us, yet temporal apparitions destined to disappear as suddenly as they arrive after becoming muscled out. Time, normally enough a linear sequence of events, is in the presentation often restructured with interpolated downloads from future and past.
Echoes from higher dimensional membranes are extracted and placed into the championship arena one at a time in no set temporal order beyond the gestalt of experience.
‘What ya think of the 2012 termination series Orti?’
Ortiagon has a bias toward the past; ‘It was the greatest election since 1066. Garbage collectors arrived to deplete every sort of anomaly harmful to human development, bagged it and stuffed it into six extra dimension chutes. It was the most economical use of extra micro-sized dimensional energy for space-time mosaic reallocating yet. The void left vacuum intensity currents increasing probability fields.’
‘Yeah, that’s how I feel about it too Orti.’
The summer championship series beginning in Ja June has depleted the chess teams in predictable ordinal increase. It is statistically predictable and inexplicable. Quantum computer aided strategies are allowed, yet of limited value with the higher temporal dimensional cutting and pasting displacing time and intention.
Certainly no player plans his own destruction as a part of winning strategy-they are not Jesus Christ-who required a fully God yet fully human nature simultaneously in order that at crucifixion and death someone remained alive to resurrect Him.
What use is a plan to build particular space-time content when the context in which the space-time is connected no longer exists? Uncertainty may be an aspect of the quantum world providing an appearance of space-time interval in given object dimensions, yet it may be quite certain in other dimensions. Substance can seem comparatively solid because of the lack of uncertainty and interval or spacing and timing.
Players use an encyclopedia of strategies to gain strategic and tactical advantages over the other side. That may mean trying to move the winning strategy from extra dimensions back to the very start of the game so it ends before the opponent can reply.
The game moves on for a few hours or days before the temporal history becomes rewritten as strategies in extra dimensions building up to retro-write a new past.
I am not of the opinion that it’s all a con-that the games just seem to last for hours when instead they end as soon as one walks in and the deleted temporal experience becomes like some kind of pharmaceutically engineered delusion-in other words, a cheap trick for a fast buck. It would be easy to believe if it weren’t for the things go on offstage in the more real world.
Dead reckoning calculations based on the best available physics theory give no better than a small probability of emerging with the winning time at the beginning of the game’s space-time alive. It is difficult to split time so fine when it may be wrapped on super-strings comprising a Universe in-itself. Time can resemble a context of mass energy construction irreducible from its position as a mass phenomenon.
The players that stay alive in the game are survivors of an existential cull. I might have said a process of natural selection, yet there is very little that is natural about it. It’s become a war game of intelligent design.
Neglon Bacalar is regarded as the brightest chess player of our time. He is nevertheless a remix specialist sampling fragments of winning tactics and sending them en mass with drone denial of extra-dimensional probability attacks on the beginning of the game until something drops through into place. Neglon sometimes seems to have a physical change on-stage as part of his strategy. Fans of the player’s passion for the game explain that by saying it brings him to commit his entire self to winning-maybe in a philosophical sense that means increasing his winnings in the form of extra-quark credits or social power.
Bacalar exploited the expansion of micro-dimensions in the game-field to change his being allowing the field to expand a little beyond its levies like swollen super-dimensional water. If he is entirely immersed in the game-field, perhaps even becoming one with partial fields of dimensions he might be considered to be cheating. Altering the dimensions to suit himself, deleting the competition with evil, placing himself in the position of being the god of eleven dimensional chess-these things are illegal.
Some believe Bacalar is addicted to the game like an oil spill on water gradually soaking deeply into the sand. Making itself one with the game even if poisoning it is an existential thing-to-do, an important thing to a trans-dimensional uncertainty as he may be, have been or become. His opponents and even teammates suffer high depletion.
I have been of a mind to believe that Bacalar was rigging the game and murdering his rivals. To some, winning is everything, even if the metaphysical footing is insubstantial, fleeting and of unknown purpose.
Bacalar may be a genius or a villain, I cannot be sure. Evidence might be simply the extra-dimensional deposition of the odd and unusual things; corpses in chaotic repose arriving suddenly like a Biblical plague of frogs even unto the halls and desks of government, the end of the world November 7, 2012 overturned after the fact with retro-time reassembly, inexplicable global atmospheric warming and melting of the ice sheets of the planet for which no scientific explanation could be advanced. No, if Bacalar has engineered the high unemployment rate and national debt he is an evil genius.
In a game theory for eleven dimensional chess that has beauty, one would think that construction of the best possible temporal order for living, sentient beings would be the object. The pursuit of the ultimate good should be a transcending goal materializing even within the game field as it might in the Universe or any possible Universe.
Minimizing the good would be antipathetic to reason, and we assume that reason for itself would be regarded as the good. Why then would good chess players move to create temporal evil?

A Few Words About Moose
If circumstances provide an opportunity to spend much time sharing of moose habitat one may have the good luck to spend some time observing the interesting creatures. Because Moose are a kind of large deer and thus herbivorous (no horned animals are carnivors) they are more inclined to run when surprised by human beings.
Don't count on the moose scampering away however. Bull moose may have a run at you if it seems necessary. If its a bull try to not close the distance with the moose too much, for at some point it may choose to charge and you may need to dodge behind a tree.
When approaching moose whistle a little in a friendly way, or talk at them as if they were a curious horse-they may stop running and stay put. Short lived wild animals haven't always learned to fear humans-and moose have comparatively few natural enemies-human beings don't resemble wolves or dogs that moose probably hate.
In winter when snow coveground moose eat smaller branches of deciduous trees. They hunker down in the snow with their legs under them-legs that don't have much in the way of blood flow so that the spindly things don't freeze up as would bare human legs in zero degree weather eventually.
Moose and deer have the same disinterest as might a human in avoiding injury caused by running full speed to avoid predators through a dense and sharp forest environment-keep your dogs on a leash if possible for they give deer hell generally in the chase. Even the slick highway surfaces with compact snow and ice may cause a moose to slip and break a leg so it can hobble about with three good legs and one right angled foreleg until someone is kind enough to give it a home in their freezer.
For many of us visitors to the vanishing world of nature Moose are the closest thing we seem to that pleistocene America remaining. In winter moose even remind us a little of the shape of American buffalo with a larger front end than back, dark, shaggy locks of hair and icy breath-what else is left in America besides the flourishing American possum to remind us of the healthy way things were when our forbears wandered into the new world 25,000 years ago?

A String Across the Universe ©2011GaryCGibson (poem)
Spoken with infinite variations on a tone wave
the multi-dimensional string of functions
reached with time the unity
of clouds imaged through light
glistening with space streaming
along with infinite tomorrows
realized through branches beginning
Jacob's ladder through virtual nothingness driving line sections too
circles and filling in membranes of functions consistent with constructions
God remaining living eternally
though His Son died
along the road of functions
resurrected spiritually
beyond flypaper super-string
helixes
catching so many human souls
with oppulent illusions of permanence
beyond the next turn
It's a brilliant creation
in its journey through enigmatic darkness
living with opportunity to be and become
start ups for God
with redemption from the Son
Quantum calculations of creation
waveform strains of temporal flux
simultaneous series of energetic additions
permutating functions in starry designs of dust.

Trump & Huckabee Out-Gingrich, Paul In Republican Presidential Race, Waiting for Godot
The race for the Republican 2012 Presidential candidacy is shaping up. Donald Trump declined to become a candidate as has former Arkansas Governor and T.V. show host Mike Huckabee. Two old war horses-Ron Paul and Newt Gingrich have entered the race to provide color and background for the likely eventual winner former Governor of Massachusetts Mitt Romney.
Romney runs well against Obama as the Presidents only major legislative victory was getting a botched up version of the Romney health plan foisted on the public. Romney has rightly said the reason his plan was good for Massachusetts was that the people of that state wanted it-it was not forced upon them as was Obama care.
In Alaska and Kentucky for example, the well oiled fully insured prosperous class will grit their teeth and let the poor bite the bullet of health care costs when need be-if the poor can afford any.
Independents might like to have a Jacque Cousteau sensibility in a Presidential contender-a Henry Ford of diving, or a younger, smarter, cheaper Ralph Nadir-even Joe Stiglitz with a wildcat candidacy. They know however that you can't always get the candidates you want, and hence must run the candidates you have. Waiting for Godot-the ideal candidate, can be unprofitable, except in a soteriological context.
The United States has a 14 trillion dollar federal debt so balancing the budget and paying down the debt swiftly is a way to save 3/4s of a trillion dollars in interest on the debt right now. That is necessary so the nation will have the ability to loan or give a trillion or two as needed to Wall Street, Bankers and global investors in U.S. mortgages or insurance companies should their financial speculations ever have trouble. The rich are too big to fail or tax realistically and need the full guarantee of the U.S. Government at all times to enable ten percent of Americans to be jobless.
The U.S. Government also must be able to fund trillion dollar dictator removal and nation building reconstruction in oil producing nations in order to allow women to have equal rights to be C.E.O.'s of major corporations. The best chance for that happening in Libya or Iran, Iraq or Nigeria is to stop federal spending on regulations that slow down domestic oil exploration or federal spending that unrealisticly foists a delusion on Americans that anything besides petroleum products can fuel American transportation.
If this seems a little facetious-its because it is. The prospects for electing a good U.S. President able to comprehend nationalism, environmental economics, full employment and so forth are virtually nil.

On 'Crude World' by Peter Maass and other topics
Oil and its economic impact upon users and producers (addicts and suppliers) has been a topic of popular analysis by numerous authors over the decades. 'The Seven Sisters' was one such book that detailed the rise of the Rockefeller Standard oil monopoly and its break up. This book published in 2009 by Peter Maass is in the style of new journalism-with much global first person interviews with prominent persons in oil producing nations and other principal persons.
http://www.petermaass.com/books/crude_world/
I have yet to complete reading this book, and perhaps will resume reading later today. Skipping about a bit from Equatorial Guinea and a dictator that may have eaten the balls and brains of a defeated rival (those were the missing parts of the corpse) sent billions through Washington D.C. Rigg's bank, we discover interesting facts about Guinea and the insularity of the Texas oil men working the claim, learn of the corrupting nature of oil development on economics-I guess it produces dictators or Chavez' generally with the U.S. Government preferring the former and move beyond basic Hilbert peak production criteria to information about problems in over-producing oil fields and the effect on reducing oil available from the field.
With world oil supplies having reached peak production and demand increasing, the prospect for long range price increases is apparent, yet even more obvious is the deleterious effect of fossil fuel use on American national economic development through its excessive opportunity costs and pervasive corruption of the social order-making a trophic order relationship to the principal oil controller of fundamental political-economic importance.
Libya has 43 billion barrels of oil reserves, the U.S.A. an inflated 30 billion, Saudi Arabia 264 billion, and Canada, Mexico, Venezuela and Saudi Arabia are our largest suppliers of crude oil. The extent to which U.S. economic development and foreign policy is determined by access to oil is rather remarkable. The political difficulties involved in breaking off reliance on fossil fuels are obvious and fundamental. While Mexico and Canada could perhaps sell their oil to China if the United States were intelligent enough to invent a better way of producing and using energy nationally, the political ability to accomplish such a transition while good for the environment would be locally thwarted by vested interests like as not.

Spring Flooding on Alaska's Kuskokwim River
Reportedly a dozen homes were flooded by the rapidly rising waters. At least most of the homeowners have lots on which they might rebuild a small hut to survive the brutal winter just a few months away.
http://www.adn.com/2011/05/11/1857898/kuskokwim-flood-rose-so-fast-residents.html
Unlike Mississippi River floods that predictably increase vertically instead of horizontally because of extensive trapping of waters within dykes or levies, Alaskan rivers may experience ice jams after break up in unforseen locales.
Maybe the Louisianna delta could recover a little if more levies were removed and new low cost floating dome homes were constructed behind inland breakwaters.
A new industry might manufacture curved plywood dome sections and curved beams in order to allow construction of a very strong, steel reinforced wood chip composite dome on a well-engineered round trimaran hull-base with hurricane anchors and quick release cables set in the ground in order to allow the home to survive 200 m.p.h. winds from tornados. A retirement dome for two should sell for 25,000 dollars or less minus lot.
Probably no political candidates support low-cost floating homes for the delta that would be designed to float upon river flooding.
Roofing the domes would be a two-stage process that would be temporally extended. Stage one is a complete coating and seam taping with three rolled on coatings of fiberglass resin or marine epoxy. As the dome would then be water protected the second roofing material could be accomplished with a variety of aesthetic mediums.
Like the hull of a small boat their should be frame reinforcing around the circular hull at three levels. The dome should be raised off the level of the deck a few iches and thoroughly coated with resin to prevent water damage to the curved planking.
I am not aware of any such simple 4 hour prefab dome home manufacturing plant in the Mississippi Delta region or the Kuskokwim, yet perhaps a market exists for low-cost retirement and enviropnmentally durable, solar panel coated green housing even in a fatuous housing market.

A Website to Process Digital Camaera Data Would be Useful
I believe that one must generally own a computer in order to process digital pictures. There are actually more than a few people that might buy a digital camera around the world and use it on-line if there were a way to upload the data to online picture processing at no cost. That seems like a potential new business opportunity to sell advertising.
For digital photo processing one must install a programming on one's personal computer that interprets the raw picture data and makes it uncoded friendly for general jpg use and so forth. If there was a website that had every digital camera manufacturers software online and processed incoming raw data, or if each manufacture offered free photo processing online, they would be able to sell advertising and far more digital cameras to people that haven't got a computer with them.
If more Africans had digital cameras, a myriad of news photos from current events along with pictures of endangered species from deep in the wild might be taken before such opportunties disappear beneath chain saw, parking lots and conversion of rivers into drainage ditches. It is unreasonable to expect every poor potential photographer in the Ivory Coast to own a web-book computer though to process their pictures. With quick on-line processing maybe they would have access to a public computer for on-line photo processing opportunities however.
Journalism should not be a mob-support activity in support of political elites and special interests running roughshod over individuals. If democracy is to prevail a little with enough social and environmental reason to satisfy even Socrates the people should be their own local journalists fully armed with digital photo processing opportunities.
The pampas of Argentina and pinnacles of Peru may look better from the more realistic digital lens of locals than through the lens of journalist Liberace's on chic safaris. Sure there is a place for elite, international boundry crossing broadcasters employed by powerful poltiical organizations and corporations with extreme concentrated wealth (I suppose allow I am not sure where that is), and there is even more the reason for free on-line digital photo processing for poor 2nd and 3rd world picture takers without a computer or 4G wireless.

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

General Georege S. Patton's poem 'Peace---Nov. 11, 1918'
Learning that the General was a fairly good poet was a surprise. At poetry hunter there are 16 of his poems published. It provides one with an insight into the thought of a military leader who had to exist within that realm of murder and mayhem as the essential tool of statecraft.
World War one had 8.5 million combat casualties. It provides a little insight into the relationship of human epistemology or mind to body. Body parts strewn liberally about the battlefield inform us that the human mind is a fleeting, ephemeral thing that arises nearly automatically within a human body with D.N.A. designs allowing it to fully form without much intelligent thought involved.
We may experience the social phenomena of political inability to form good contemporary ways of life inclusive of all and oppressive of none. These politically broken or shallow forms of thought are developmental social inabilities within the human inhertited collective political epistemology that may some day be overcome, as improbable as that seems. Even so we may appreciate the perspective of Georeg S. Patton who executed his social role with enthusiasm, though it occurs within a largely dysfuctional social paradigm existentially speaking.
"I stood in the flag-decked cheering crowd
Where all but I were gay,
And gazing on their extesy,
My heart shrank in dismay.
For theirs was the joy of the 'little folk'
The cruel glee of the weak,
Who, banded together, have slain the strong
Which none alone dared seek.
The Bosch we know was a hideous beast
Beyond our era's ban,
But soldiers still must honor the Hun
As a mighty fighting man.
The vice he had was strong and real
Of virtue he had none,
Yet he fought the world remorselessly
And very nearly won…
And looking forward I could see
Like a festering sewer;
Full of the fecal Pacifists
Which peace makes us endure….
None of the hold and blatant sin
The disregard of pain,
The glorious deeds of sacrefice
which follow in wars train.
Instead of these the little lives
Will blossom as before,
Pale bloom of creatures all too weak
To hear the light of war.
While we whose spirits wider range
Can grasp the joys of strife,
Will moulder in the virtuous vice
Of futile peaceful life.
We can but hope that e're we drown
'Neath treacle floods of grace,
The tuneless horns of mighty, Mars
Once more shall rouse the Race
When such times come, Oh! God of War
Grant that we pass midst strife,
Knowing once more the whitehot joy
Of taking human life.
Then pass in peace, blood-glutted Bosch
And when we too shall fall,
We'll clasp in yours our gory hands
In High Valhallas' Hall."

President Obama's Next Link in the Economic Segregation Plan
The official U.S. unemployment rate is 9%, yet the true figure is much higher, perhaps 20%. Forty-three percent of working age U.S. citizens aren't employed. The terrible state of the economy is a result of financial and government corruption the past twenty years that has concentrated wealth through globalism and corporatism building a new structure of economic segregation and subversion of social equality.
President Obama recently suggested that ten million illegal aliens mostly from Mexico become U.S. citizens (a cynic might wonder if that is after paying a fine to his re-election committee) so they can take jobs legally. Naturalizing Mexican and Canadian citizens creates geographically superior super-citizens for whom there are no legal boundaries in North America.
Promoting illegal aliens to citizens during a high unemployment era will increase the number of unemployed, legal job seekers in the U.S.A. Eight million jobs were lost after the 2008 Wall Street/banking/mortgage crisis. Do the math. Besides, the border patrol only catches one of every three illegal worker migrants at the border so if they vacate ten million illegal jobs another ten million will soon arrive to replace them.
Although the founders were of the opinion that an American president should be native born, they neglected to consider the problem of potential Presidents with dual citizenship because of the nature of travel back in the day. Who would have imagined that immigrants could be on the phone back home all the way to America and forever after getting off a plane, bus or under the wire? Dual citizenship is a key factor for building social inequality in the U.S.A.
Immigration to the U.S. today is more of a remote control channel change than an entry to a new world and the rest of one's life with new values. Immigrants may easily keep foreign and or dual allegiance and business contacts better than just plain native born Americans without even a passport to get to Alaska through Canada to be unemployed and freeze in a tent for several months.
Dual citizenship is an avenue of potential treason. Even native born offspring of immigrants are open to a world of dual allegiances, challenges and conflicts of interest, for they too have citizenship in the real foreign political realm of their parent’s home country.
While a Governor Jindal living in Louisiana may not be a relation of an Abu Jindal Pakistani or Kashmiri terrorist organizational cadre, such first generations may have relatives that are. The odds on a politician with dual citizenship being subject to foreign influence is greater than that of the second generation born in the U.S.A. and raised by non-immigrant U.S. parents. It is less likely a second generation will have economic values betraying U.S. economic through politics unless perhaps they attend foreign schools and colleges or Oxford University.
Minimally, dual citizenship creates a plague of conflicts of interests especially when a U.S. Presidential candidate could be running for the same office in another country if they choose. The citizenship of one's parents is generally conferred upon children regardless of where they are born. Socialization of Presidential candidates matters to the voters, or at least should.
President Obama's probable Kenyan citizenship doesn't present too much of a problem since the nation has a fairly small population and hasn't a lot of millionaires or billionaires to peddle influence. Governor Jindal of Louisiana possible Indian citizenship is a problem as India is the most populous nation in the world and the Governor probably has most of his relatives living in that nation.
President Obama has sought to make a path for illegal aliens to become dual citizens of the U.S.A. and whatever nation they escaped or are vacationing from. Making dual citizens of Mexican-Americans or Canadian-Americans without reciprocal conferring of dual citizenship upon all U.S. citizens simultaneously creates a legal segregation of U.S. citizens from enjoying full legal right as peers in Mexico and Canada. Allowing a dual citizen to be an American politician establishes a new legal segregation of legal rights and opportunities threatening to the preservation of social and economic liberty. No new citizenship should be given to anyone that is a citizen of another nation.
Politicians have a tradition of being more than occasionally corrupt. Even Presidents are not immune from bribes, threats, kickbacks to and from foreign nations in which they are citizens and have many relatives living. While private citizens may reasonably pursue international interests to suit their pleasure, public elected officials radically dis-serve the public if doing so, and with such unavoidable conflicts of interests a responsible candidate would recues himself from ever seeking the office of the Presidency. As Groucho Marx once said "I wouldn't belong to any club that was willing to have me."
U.S. politicians cannot serve two masters. They must choose one nation and give up their citizenship in any others. Keeping U.S. sovereignty intact and free of Indian and Chinese influence will be difficult in the years ahead. Those two nations have about two and a half billion souls and the United States just a fraction of that.
Neither the British Oxford Rhodes scholarship selection committee nor the Chinese Communist Party or Indian élites should be enabled to offer any of its nation's citizens for potential U.S. political office. Neither should they be so advantaged as to groom U.S. citizens for political office. Keeping U.S. politicians free from the control of foreign governments will be increasingly difficult in the years ahead. Politicians may be grafted off during or after office and provide compromised information and opportunities of advantage to a foreign nation in political polygamy with the clear conscience of a bin Laden with three wives.
The United States is not yet obsolete as a nation. Increasing the number of dual citizens it has will help to make it so. National interests will move toward decoherence as the nation is torn by political center of effort moving offshore.
It doesn't take that much to rectify some of the problems created by an inflation of dual citizenship Americans. Since migration here may be effortless these days, to prove at least a modicum of actual allegiance a prospective citizen ought to be required to give up his foreign citizenship and denounce his former country at the time of the swearing in proceedings. Becoming a citizen of the United States should not be like adding another supermarket discount card to your wallet or purse.
In days of yore that voyage across the ocean was generally one-way. Now, the prospective dual citizen may be never off the phone back home with Skype or just a cheap disposable phone. He can check his facebook friends in Asia or the Fatherland-or even the arid desert for coded words from the pages of the present prophet with words to sustain resistance amidst those enthralled by the whore of Babylon, while she can also find girlfriend support for building a Lesbian utopia globally with men relegated to zoos in the heart of London kept for occasional rentals for CEO sport. The gender role confused can discuss the Celtic meanings of bussaton intimately to their significant atheist cellular composite evolving to a government approved happiness in nihilistic power with beefeaters and chic mirrors. The question is what government any of these dual citizens are really subject to-the simple just one country people can never really know.
Emerging political changes making international communications instant for nearly all can have devastating effects on democracy and the security of U.S. citizens on the road ahead if all sense is thrown to the wind in the lemming rush to the post popular edge of the minute. Populism controlled by unrepresentative economic elites can be a tool used to concentrate wealth and destroy independence.

Newt Gingrich MayMake Cannonball Entry into Presidential Race Tomorrow
Hopefully former Speaker Gingrich will abstain from the 2012 Presidential trail and take up sailing beyond the Brunswick Bay Bridge. As the essential architect of the Wall Street-Congress political support in the mid-90's leading to all of the national business bunk's deep inethics, he represents a coelecanth of the political past that should be happily hunting in deep, dark waters offshore doing his best for the good old U.S.A.
Former Penn Senator Rick Santorum may be the best guy to run against President Obama, if the Donald decides to take his winnings and withold running depriving the nation of interesting ideas in the Republican primary debates.

Vladimir Putin's Path to Citizenship and 2012 Primary? (something funny in it)
Drawing upon breaking science, federal political think & drunk tanks have discovered how to pay off the national debt with cuts to the poor in addition to making an ex post facto birth certificate for Vladimir Putin-in order that he might be eligible to run in the 2012 Republican presidential primaries.
The nation waits to learn if Vladimir Putin will add some glitz to the glitzless field strolling so far. Republicans want a dynamic leader with good ideas. Some talk about leading the poor to develop their ouvre for-themselves-maybe not as swell as the rich, yet cool enough anyway.
With proven eleven-dimensional math and retro-creation of documents in accord with multiverse cosmological authorities, it might be shown that Vladimir Putin's father was actually born in Massachusetts during the cold war in a special KGB clandestine operation in order to allow Vladimir rightly to claim U.S. citizen and chance for future Presidential candidacy in the United States.
Think tanks trickling up information-sometimes horizontal trickling with planetary spin on it-let the public learn of indigenous corporatism and globalist eliminatism targeting geographical association with civil rights. Corporatism can eliminate the Senate and let the most connected rule everything. Social networking globally can let Chinese and India cell phone users rule the former region known as the United States.
With tough, competent leadership eschewing political malpractice corporate networking has the prospect for eliminating government representation of democratic interests and becoming the unnamed, unrepresentative government itself.
These evolving political products follow on the morphing of free enterprise capitalism into anti-capitalism financial network power.
Capitalism of Adam Smith was purely material, a way for individuals and small groups to make their own prizes, to better their lives directly with work. It was an advocacy for removal of the aristocratic organizational control of economics that is the equivalent of todays global Wall Street networks of business and finance with a finger in every pie temporally. President Vladimir Putin might be the one to lead the U.S.A. back to its senses and historical traditions of support for small scale free enterprise without abstract capital predators moving electronic investments around at the speed of light making a farce of material ownership and rational investment in the process.
When capital transitions away from simple material production facilities and private property into abstract financial values in secondary game theoretical market trading the advantage goes to the corrupt-wealth becomes concentrated incrooked gaming and/or irrational gambling and capitalism is implicitly defeated; replaced by financial rackets. The basic remedy is to limit the number of corporations any individual may invest in annually or at any given time to just three, and to cap the size of any for-profit corporation at 5000 employees.
With non-representational corporate governance it will be possible to create a synthesis with communist China and global control of local U.S. economic development. Already the Chinese have paid U.S. politicians more than a trillion dollars in exchange for ownership of bonds. That purchase of political influence assures the corporate influenced government will not defend the U.S. border with an adequate, ecologically relevant control zone, work for a steady state, zero population growth society or hinder economic-environmental eschatology from leading the planet to calamity for profit of a few. If the United States' Republican party is out of candidates able to find or list intelligent national political ideas, and if the nation doesn't want apartments and condos full of heroin shooting, dope smoking Ron Paul followers, it may just be that Vladmir Putin is the remedy the party will accept in 2012, if they can find his path to citizenship.
