President Obama has created nearly 5 trillion dollars of public debt and has plans to create more and more if re-elected; possible doubling that total to ten trillion dollars or more of his own economic invention. At least the Wall Street sector is running hot thanks to the President's tax cuts for the rich in December 2010 and failure to reform government spending.

Manning to Broncos; NFC Improved in 2012-13
The decision of Peyton Manning to move up from the Colts to the Broncos was just one of a fascinating number of quarterback movements in the off-season. The NFC looks to be the best it has been in quite a while with at least ten teams in capable of reaching the playoffs and Superbowl.
Tebow's passing style might have been a little frustrating to watch for John Elway-the GM of the Broncos. Elway himself was something like Jim McMahon with better passing stats and Tebow more like Tony Romo.
If Alex Smith signs with Miami then Tebow might be the Q.B for San Francisco-he would be a good influence on the City by The Bay and may have a calling to work for Coach Harbaugh.
With the NFL draft next month the off-season becomes even more interesting. The Cowboys ought to finish last or next to last in their division the next five seasons as the Redskins and Panthers rise while the Giants remain somewhat the same.
The actual football season may be an anti-climax to the off-season chess game of player acquisition.
Teams with a good chance to make the Superbowl in 2012-13 are everyone in the NFC East except the Cowboys and Eagles. The Chicago Bears, Seattle Seahawks, Arizona Cardinals, New Orleans Saints, Green Bay Packers, St. Louis Rams and San Francisco 49ers. The level of competition is improved over the past decade regarding AFC vs NFC quality. The Broncos in the AFC are obvious possibilities to reach the Superbowl as well as other perennial AFC teams such as the Steelers and Patriots.

Bose-Einstein Condensates & 'Absolute' High and Low Temperatures of the Universe
The phenomenon of sound occurs in the mind rather than in the world for-itself. Waveforms occur in the world for-themselves, as one might regard everything as a waveform.
That is a challenging topic for physics however. The wave function of Schrodinger and the discussion of light as a photon or wave (Michaelson-Morley experiment) are millestones on the road of discovery.
If the Universe is made of information alone as in the Holographic Theory, then bits of data could be converted into representation as sound.
Although one can see waves in the water and waves in other mediums-even gravitational waves are thought to exist by some that make ripples in space-time, it is not certain at all that at the smallest scale-if there is one, that waves exist.
The Bose-Einstein condensate is a substance that can be made by cooling neutrons down to absolute zero wherein they lose their individual identies and become one substance without motion. Motion is the basis for temperature and for energy and at absolute zero no waveforms might occur either, yet intuitively one believes that to be wrong. Even in a Bose-Einstein condensate neutrons or anything existing should have some sort of wave-motion implicitly though it may all coincide into being one wave representing all-possible locations that it could be.
One must wonder if Bose-Einstein condensates could be made to have quantum entanglement.
These things in space are wave-forms of things of quantum construction with uncertainty at the core.
The Arecibo radio telescope collects radio waves. One cannot hear radio waves without a radio to convert that wavelength of the electro-magnetic spectrum into vibrations in the air that a human eardrum will send to the brain where it is transformed into the experience of noise.
There is a powerful new radio telescope under construction in the Andes mountains of Chile. It is named the Alma Telescope (Atacama Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array telescope) and it has already taken a 'picture' of very deep space. Radio waves can be converted into light wavelengths evidently, though it is the most complex radio telescope in the world. It will be fully operational in 2013.

I was reading a book on physical constants recently and encountered the idea that temperature is motion/energy of particles/waves. The absence of motion is absolute zero-a temperature on the fahrenheit scale regarded as -459.67 degrees.
Absolute zero; the true absence of motion is said in the wikipedia to be regarded as improbable because zero-point energy still occurs and that kinetic energy is temperature.
I suppose one might regard that quantum uncertainty that is a fundamental part of quantum mechanics as a field for itself that appears do locate at particular places and times as a phenomenal artifact of observation. In the book I am reading the quantum spin states of the mass was itself considered in order to illustrate the point about temperature and motion at the absolute zero range.
The example given was I think of quarks with made one or two spin states such as up or down, right or left. Imagine that in a Bose-Einstein condensate there are a hundred quarks given the same spin state characteristics such as U(UP)-R(RIght) or UR. Then one through some means turns them all to the zero-energy setting and one has achieved absolute zero (though the nature of quanta means that they still have zero-point energy) because they only seem to be where they are because they are being observed).
The interesting point I found was that the setting below the absolute zero setting of quantum spin states (eigenvalues in shop talk) might be like that on the odometer of one electric car-at zero setting if one rolls it back further it becomes the infinitely high temperature! Below absolute zero there may be absolute hell thermodynamically speaking.
Beneath the quantum phase surface of this Universe there may be an absolute hell. Perhaps if the Universe does expand far enough for enough time that is cools down from its average three degrees Kelvin near enough to absolute zero the Universe may convert from absolute cold and entropy to an infinitely high temperature although one might reasonably guess that mass cannot have an infinitely high temperature any more than an infinitely low temperature. Mass has limits on its energy range if it is to exist at all.
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/physics/absolute-hot.html
At the beginning of the Universe the temperature according to the standard model of physics might have been 1032 Kelvin.
Einsteins Field Equations for the General Theory of Relativity would provide math that yields the idea that the temperature might be infinite then-however Einstein did not know too much about quantum spin states then, although he did create the idea of the Bose-EInstein condensate given Bose's mathematical concepts on photons within a paradigm of statistical mechanics. The 'infinite' value for high temperature or energy may be a concurrence of quantum spin states. At a high enough temperature mass loses its individuating cooler characteristics somewhat like a Bose-Einstein condensate does (a very different result though).

Sounds in Space
The phenomenon of 'sound' is a product of human auditory/brain conversion of wave vibrations in the medium of air that make the eardrum vibrate and that is converted into brain 'noise'. Because the vacuum of space has no medium such as air or water to vibrate it does not have sound in that environment as we humans know it.
http://www.mediacollege.com/audio/01/sound-waves.html
The vacuum of space averages just one atom per 5 cubic meters of area in the Universe. It is almost empty except for various clumps in galaxies and solar systems, interstellar dust clouds and so forth. Space is very quiet by our standards.
Yet there are lots of waveforms in space (i.e. electromagnetic waves). I believe that almost any sort of waveform might be converted by technology into sound audible to human beings. N.A.S.A. and numerous others have made sound analogs of waveforms in space to form a 'soundscape' of what is out there.
http://www-pw.physics.uiowa.edu/space-audio/
http://www.nasa.gov/vision/universe/features/halloween_sounds.html
An example of how sounds might represent structures of signals or of wavelengths is Morse code. It is simple to give a sound representation of dots and dashes,long and short and so forth.
I have considered what sound 'atoms' might make recently though their occillations or vibrations are far too small to be noticed by human ears as particular elements...

Ravi Found Guilt of E-Spying; The Social Philosophy Issues-with correction
The U.S.A. Today reports that the former Rutgers student could get as many as ten years in jail for broadcasting homosexual sex activity on the Internet without the consent of the sex players. Plainly using sophisticated broadcast media access to violate the privacy of individuals should be .proscribed activity.
One of the involuntary 'stars' of Ravi's foray into the candid camera realm, Tyler Clementi, suicided a few days after learning of the publication of his personal error in sexual identity/activity.
Writers and amateur video-makers should strive not to include anyone's face or meaningful descriptions of individuals-recognizable to others, without express written permission unless of course one is writing about major public figures. It just isn't worth the headache of potential violation of privacy litigation.
Few Americans today are worth a hagiography. Yet it is not the case that common perverse behavior should be extracted from context and exploited-by-others. The broadcast media and even the Internet offer tremendous bully potential for the illicit corruption of any individual to exist socially without being stigmatized by opportunist predators seeking to promote themselves with truths that violate privacy or falsehoods that are a product of the rumorer's demented syndicalist imagining and permutation.
A free society requires freedom from social behavior of others that adversely draw attention to any individual capriciously. A free society requires people to be free not to be conformed to totalized conduct of good or of evil, of loyalty to corrupt politicians or even dissent from aforementioned.
http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/story/2012-03-16/rutgers/53574554/1
It is possible that some sort of cross-cultural element existed in Ravi's choice to violate Clementi's privacy. In some foreign nations homosexuality is punishable by death, so violating someone's privacy to capture evidence of that sin would be no problem unless he should have got a Sharia court order, or possible a Hindu writ of out-casting, if such exist.
correction -correction
Ravi was not a neighbor of Mr. Clementi, but a room-mate. This changes the nature of the situation from the impersonal to the personal. Rutgers University should give students the choice of not having a homosexual room-mate forced upon them especially when they are in the rutting season.
I doubt that Ravi choose to be mated with a homosexual living in his personal space for a year or more engaging in homosexual practices. Rutgers officials might have told him to 'suck it up' if he had complained about the room-mate assignment. If his language used the word 'queer' in the student housing office they might have said he was using 'hate speech' and considered his expulsion.
Rutgers University evidently does not screen out students upon the basis of sexual preference and that is probably wrong. Ravi being from a nation where homosexuality is regarded as wrong conduct-as it is in much of the United States, might have been unavoidably upset at the evil turn in his personal living reality and perhaps was emotionally reaching out in some way to process the offensive situation toward a liberating (for-himself) direction.
Because the situation was quite personal and not a product of Ravi's creation or will-to-be occur is improbably described as a 'hate crime'. The homosexual room-mate problems in his college dorm would have been on the 'worst nightmare' side of things rather than a positive element reinforcing his opportunity for higher education.
Ravi did not cross the street to do surveillance or even invade the privacy of his neighbor as I mistakenly believe. Ravi instead set up his computer camera in his own living space as he had a legal right to do. He recorded what went on in his 'home'.
Sharing his home video on the Internet is a different legal issue, yet it does not seem like a hate crime to post of video of one's home even if it is messy or has homosexual room-mate goings on. Ravi's self-defense from being socialized to accept homosexuality in his personal life or home might have taken a tragic turn, however his actions clearly were not a product of pre-conceived hate of homosexuals to such an extent that he stalked them and victimized them criminally as part of a political or pathological agenda.

Matter/Anti-Matter Energy Conversion for Space Drives 99.993% More Efficient Than Hydrogen Fusion
Stretching the dollar for space transportation energy means getting a high delta v return for investment. Since hydrogen fusion-the power that drives the sun’s energy output is only .007% efficient future space transportation energy planners probably will look toward a more efficient source for power: matter-anti-matter annihilation.
Hydrogen fusion in the sun is just the first nuclear fusion reaction that merelt condenses mass wityh only a little energy released. That is why after the sun goes through its less efficient helium burning phase and a few others there is are so many heavy new elements formed. Some stars detonate that remnant and leave a lot of messy mass strewn about the Universe; good for planets and living things yet proof of the inefficeincy of nuclear fusion.
If one Euro were entirely converted to energy it would yield the power of a small atomic bomb. When matter and Anti-matter combine they yield energy with 100% efficiency. That’s 99.993% more efficient than hydrogen fusion. Producing anti-matter today is very difficult and only very tiny quantities arise too small for any theoretical space power source.
It is another look toward the future to consider some of the potential for matter-anti-matter energy in space transport. Space ships would need to carry less than a pound of anti-matter to add to a pound of matter gradually to travel across the galaxy and beyond. If M-Theory advances to another theoretical framework beyond that explains how dimensions are shaped and what they are made of; perhaps they do not really exist at all but are only emergent qualities of the behavior of matter or anti-matter, then energy might be focused within specially shaped space-drive dimensions to increase transport efficiency once more.
Quantum computer development of post-M-Theoretical physics in two or three centuries might be able to bring the matter-anti-matter energy drive within reach of survivors of global warming, if there are any, on Earth. They will ask what the true nature of energy is-is it all of one flavor or does anti-energy and anti-dimensions too exist to add spice to the physics mysteries?

People's Dictator Kim Jong Un to Launch 'Big Dong' Missile in April
After agreeing 16 days ago to allow nuclear plant inspections and not to launch long range missile tests in exchange for 240,000 tons of food (pink slime beef?) from the United States in what the adminstration perhaps beleived was a publicity coup, North Korean Dictator Kim Jong Un has announced he will launch a long range (probably a Taepo Dong 2 rocket) Big Dong missile for peaceful purposes-it has a radio-equipped high tech toaster on board) in April.
Scientific research is important of course, yet it seems as if the best-known Dictator for peace got the best of the administration legalistically speaking in finding the loophole in the agreement that did not specifically cover missile testing for peaceful technical purposes. Delivery of high tech toasters to Anchorage might be a part of the Dictator's economic strategy.

The missile will be launched to celebrate Kim Il Sung's birthday.

Rush Limbaugh: Anti-hero of New Godless, Feminazi, Homosexual Democrat Party
Rush Limbaugh is by no means a shock jock. MSNBC's Ed Shultz has called Laura Ingram a 'slut' and did not rise to the level of numerous left-leaning broadcast bullies that 'liberate' by being vile. Rush Limbaugh does personify everything the new American Democratic Party hates though; he is white, male, strait, pompous, full of confidence, super-rich and under-educated and woefully ignorant on all thing environmental. Rush Limbaugh is the anti-hero of the American left.
One may prefer the use of non-polemical language in the broadcast media. No lemization of anybody should be a part of the verbiage stream of usual social free speech. We know though that some people use controversial language in order to get the public's attention and increased earnings. Well, the toppers will be with us so long as the electromagnetic broadcast spectrum is auction off to concentrated wealth instead of used for individual citizen internet podcast slices on a community level.
Free political speech should not be countered by personal attacks upon the speaker's finances. Intolerance of opposition free speech by the New Post-American Order is de rigeur however. When the rump state of the U.S. economy has fully implemented a totalized economic order in harmony with Britain's Foootsie and royal prerogatives free speech issues will no longer be a problem.
The rump economy will promote a cadre of economic insiders in government and corporate sycophancy allegiant to global tax remittances. The insiders need be only godless and immoral loyal to their biological class to be employed as mass units. They will hate small scale independent free enterprise and all things strait white male and American.
The Obama administration is in the midst of its anti-Catholic, feminine campaign tactical line to get women voters to line up for the campaign to re-elect the President. Issues such as contraception and now the Protection of Women, Queers, and Illegal Alien Women and Queers Act have been brought before the congress. Its something of a 'Did you beat your wife last night' strategy that Republican politicians will suffer for if they oppose it creating the appearance that they support violence against women, queers and illegal alien women and queers. One must wonder what the next tool in the Obama campaign kit to divide American voters is next?
Lesbian on lesbian violence certainly needs to be stopped. The butch beatings of their gay ‘wife’ also need federal intervention. Without doubt the problem of hate crimes exist arises as well when beat downs and whump ups of the person they love occur.
In the New Post-American Order feminism and homosexual government employment is the focus of the transitional effort to rate citizens according to their gender, race and/or perversion for hierarchy in legal protection. This is a time-tested idea that Tacitus noticed in Germany of his day where the penalties for breaking the skull of a non-citizen differed significantly than for breaking the skull of a tribesman.
Community organizing is the President's forte'. In Syria Kofi Anan has sought to organize the guerilla movement that the government seemingly can fight or recognize only with general shelling of cities and neighborhoods. It would be helpful if all illegal combatants in Syria would wear uniforms so they could be identified and the government could just kill them instead of everyone in their general areas of operation. Civil wars should be more civilized in these days of civility, and President Obama may lead the effort on that even as he falters in Afghanistan in not firing Afghan President Karzai who is probably cutting deals with the Taliban and depositing billions in offshore accounts in anticipation of the U.S. incompetent withdrawal that doesn't secure safe, defensible enclaves for the Northern Alliance after 2014. In the United States President Obama may be organizing new campaign tactics exploiting the power of the media and congress indirectly.
The New Post-American Rump state operates on the existential age-of-fracture principal of narrow self-interest even if it is of a class such as female government and corporate workers. Using the law and economic to promote the wealth and well-being of particular classes rather than of everyone is the reason that the loss of comparative American economic power and the deepening of U.S. national debt really don't matter to the Democratic Party.
The effort of the Democratic Party to appeal to the Latina illegal alien fraudulent voting portion of the population by offering visas to illegal alien women and queers victimized by domestic violence (must it be by straight white men or can they do that for-themselves to gain a 'pathway to citizenship?) is a clever tactic implementation. The Republicans might be able to counter that by guaranteeing zero-illegal immigration and good jobs for Mexican-American citizens with shovel ready jobs for high-tech corporations that will hire as soon as the top one-percent and middle class get tax cuts to a more reasonable level.
Well-it's all no problem. With 15.3 trillion dollars of public debt and bad military strategic planning, energy policy and so forth as Rush Limbaugh might point out everything can be readily fixed by cutting all social benefits to the poor. The Democrats only mention the word 'poor' themselves when they have need of some potential victims to deflect opposition to some political tactic such as making it illegal to check for voter picture I.D. (it would hurt the poor).

This is a time-tested idea that Tacitus noticed in Germany of his day where the penalties for breaking the skull of a non-citizen differed significantly than for breaking the skull of a tribesman.
Community organizing is the President's forte'. In Syria Kofi Anan has sought to organize the guerilla movement that the government seemingly can fight or recognize only with general shelling of cities and neighborhoods. It would be helpful if all illegal combatants in Syria would wear uniforms so they could be identified and the government could just kill them instead of everyone in their general areas of operation. Civil wars should be more civilized in these days of civility, and President Obama may lead the effort on that even as he falters in Afghanistan in not firing Afghan President Karzai who is probably cutting deals with the Taliban and depositing billions in offshore accounts in anticipation of the U.S. incompetent withdrawal that doesn't secure safe, defensible enclaves for the Northern Alliance after 2014. In the United States President Obama may be organizing new campaign tactics exploiting the power of the media and congress indirectly.
The New Post-American Rump state operates on the existential age-of-fracture principal of narrow self-interest even if it is of a class such as female government and corporate workers. Using the law and economic to promote the wealth and well-being of particular classes rather than of everyone is the reason that the loss of comparative American economic power and the deepening of U.S. national debt really don't matter to the Democratic Party.
The effort of the Democratic Party to appeal to the Latina illegal alien fraudulent voting portion of the population by offering visas to illegal alien women and queers victimized by domestic violence (must it be by straight white men or can they do that for-themselves to gain a 'pathway to citizenship?) is a clever tactic implementation. The Republicans might be able to counter that by guaranteeing zero-illegal immigration and good jobs for Mexican-American citizens with shovel ready jobs for high-tech corporations that will hire as soon as the top one-percent and middle class get tax cuts to a more reasonable level.
Well-it's all no problem. With 15.3 trillion dollars of public debt and bad military strategic planning, energy policy and so forth as Rush Limbaugh might point out everything can be readily fixed by cutting all social benefits to the poor. The Democrats only mention the word 'poor' themselves when they have need of some potential victims to deflect opposition to some political tactic such as making it illegal to check for voter picture I.D. (it would hurt the poor).

Scientists at the University of Central Florida have found a method of using gold or palladium instead of the more costly platinum or iridium in a hydrogen fuel cell.
http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/03/120315110407.htm
Layering the gold with tungsten and other inexpensive materials appears to be a basic research step toward better, cheaper fuel cells and electric cars.
Better fuel cells, better batteries; the road ahead may have more electric vehicles if concentrated wealth doesn't simply buy up and repress patents or development.

Will The President Drive Down Unemployment in Swing States for Re-Election Boost?
With the nation's unemployment rate over 8% the prospects for the President being re-elected aren't good going from history's record. If its more than 7.2% then don't let the door hit you on the way out Presidents have found the nation's sentiment.
Between Red states (named for Joe McCarthy's favorite color?) and Blue states (named for male chauvinism?) their are the crucial confused, undecided, uncertainty and willing to be convinced states the media refers to as 'swing' states (named for adultery?). If the President could spend enough federal resources and persuade enough Democratic employers to hire even if temporarily the rest of the year (well until November 8th) so that the unemployment rate in those swinging states might drop two point to 6.4 or so maybe he could get enough swingers to vote for his economic program to swing the election his way.
Alaska is not a 'swing state' politically speaking. My prospects for finding some homes or buildings to repaint here before next year's snow are not looking good even with the election year prospects for clever political spending.

Russia Plans Moon Base By 2030/Obama Administration Plans Increasing Federal Debt to $20 Trillion
The United States finally will have some competition in the race to develop the moon. Russia's Space agency has leaked a report detailing plans to send cosmonauts to a moon base there by the year 2030.
The United States administrations are heavily into the decadent sensuality phase of national and cool global uncreative economic policy these years and of course cannot understand how anything like a moon base could be paid for-especially with the need to run the public debt of the United States upward to 20 or 30 trillion dollars.

Obamacare Cost Doubles/Alaska Gas for Japan-China?/More Politics
A Congressional Budget Office report on Obamacare found that it will actually cost nearly twice as much. Evidently bthere was some chicanery in the Administration's acounting whereby the program would not pay out benefits the first four years while it was still collecting tax revenues and hence the deception on the cost. For ten years when the policy is active it is far costlier than described.
image of friendly politician interviewed by public television in Juneau Alaska
There are additional interesting politics being business as usual-ed through this week. The highway bill to fund public highway construction projects with asphalt for fossil fuel carbon dioxide emmiting vehicles is up for renewal. In theory the billions and billions spent on that should for once be spent on developing newer forms of ground transportation while the roads should no longer be subsidized by the federal government.
Existing roads might be leased for toll road pay by users (to U.S. businesses) and prizes might be given for systems designs of complete new ground transport modalities.
In Alaska U.S. Senator Nick Begitch told a joint session of the Alaska State Legislature that it should prepare for "an Arctic boom" presumably of industrial development, slaughter of wildlife and rampant oil drilling. Does he know something as a Democratic Party insider?
http://www.alaskadispatch.com/article/begich-calls-alaska-legislature-prepare-arctic-boom
The U.S. Senate voted recently not to allow the invasion of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge by foreign or domestic drillers.
If the Alaska State legislature had voted to support construction of a gas pipeline from the slope to Cook Inlet the state would have been ready to export natural gas to China who likely would be a regular customer. The state is worried about declining oil revenues to fund the state government Soviet and privileged insiders working for derivative receivers of fossil fuel royalty revenues. Though it would be better to develop new non-fossil fuel methods of producing energy-even japan would buy natural gas from Alaska now after the tsunami if it were available. Those guys just are too trained by oil insiders to think outside the crude.

Mitt Romney a Friend of Jets/Dolphins Owners-Nothing Said About Cardinals, Broncos or Peyton Manning
Mitt Romney has said that he is a friend of the owners of the Jets and Dolphins. The Dolphins may be interested in Peyton Manning however the Jets have signed Mark Sanchez again. This Tuesday not only will there be a Republican primary but that is also the day that Peyton Manning has said he will let the public know who he will play for next season.
http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_162-57395859-503544/romney-im-friends-with-jets-dolphins-owners/
The Cardinals have already exceeded their salary cap (its 120 million this year) while the Broncos have 41 million dollars of headroom to bargain with. These high finance numbers are peanuts compared to some of the quantities flung around on Wall Street by the quants and by the federal government and its skyrocketing interest obligations. The Miami Dolphins have 16 million in salary cap headroom to try to lure Peyton Manning to play in the footsteps of Don Shula the former coach of the Baltimore Colts and the perfect-season Miami Dolphins.
Mitt Romney or Rick Santorum might be able to look beyond traditional sources of Vice Presidential candidates toward academia for some sort of potential Woodrow Wilson who could learn on the job as Vice President. Academia-maybe Stanford, might have a 5th generation somewhat Hispanic or African-American very skilled at foreign affairs. While Rush Limbaugh might not approve it is still a possibility. The NFL draft is not so far away either.

Obama Administration Blocks Voter I.D. Law in Texas
The Obama administration has stepped in to allow undocumented voters in Texas elections. With 20 million illegal aliens in the nation requiring voter I.D. seems a reasonable security precaution. The administration disagrees.
http://www.cnn.com/2012/03/12/politics/texas-voter-law/index.html
Texas would require that voters show one of seven kinds of I.D. The federal government requires two forms of I.D. to be lawfully employed, yet evidently regards voting as of less importance.
Positive I.D. has the potential for slowing down voting fraud. A state I.D. card only costs about 3 dollars per year over its five year period of validity.

U.S. Options for Afghanistan After the Massacre
The recent tragic massacre of many Afghan civilians by an American Army Staff Sergeant on his 4th combat tour in several years provides an opportunity for the United States to review its options in disposing of the problem nation hell-bent on terrorism at home and abroad.
http://www.voanews.com/english/news/US-Officials-Worry-Afghan-Killings-Will-Fuel-Anti-American-Sentiment-142305395.html
We may commiserate with the terror of war-the Afghans experienced slaughtered at three in the morning. Certainly some Americans experienced that in 2001 when Taliban supported terror forces attacked the U.S.A. It is a consequence of Afghanistan’s former political leadership and present failure to adjust to social reality. In protracted conflict war crimes-often crimes of passion or madness, occur. The better way to avoid that sort of thing is to avoid promoting conflict to start with. In the future Afghanistan may experience more of that rather than none. They are not a sovereign power, rather they are an occupied foe that the United States must dispose of in as compassionate and merciful a way as is consistent with Christian principles of charity, mercy and goodness.
The United States in the 1980s built up the Afghan resistance force with arms and advising support in their war against the Soviets then abandoned the country after the Soviets left. Of course in the vacuum of power chaos and civil war developed and the Taliban that had formed during the exile in Pakistan took over with the help of their Saudi and foreign support that remained such as Osama Bin Ladin. The United States should have got involved then as well.
By the time of the World Trade Center attack the Afghanistan civil war was not yet over. The Northern Alliance held a valley in the extreme Northeast of the country. The C.I.A. with Gary Berntsen formed an alliance with those people and began rolling up the Taliban with sometimes with the use of BLU-72 very large conventional bombs (except for the dud that might have killed Osama Bin Ladin at Torah Bora that let him escape to Pakistan.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary_Berntsen
Reasonably one might expect a new civil war to resume in Afghanistan after the U.S.A. exits in 2014. This time the U.S.A. should create defensible enclaves in a federalized Afghanistan that would allow the Northern alliance to survive in protracted civil war against the Taliban should the Taliban take over much of the rest of that nation.
The fact that several Afghanistan 'partners' have called for the trial of the Staff Sergeant in Afghan courts demonstrates the incomprehension of the Afghan people of their lack of any right to try members of the occupation force in their nation. The U.S.A. is in Afghanistan under the articles of war upon a foe and would not yield any legal jurisdiction to the occupied power. With such ignorant expectations in Afghanistan it is easy to anticipate that after the U.S. forces leave the country will swiftly resume civil war and if then Taliban emerges to win and then supports new terrorist activities a second U.S. intervention under new management may return to experiment with anti-terrorist interdiction.
One might like the U.S.A. to better understand the way that moral and social structures form in relation to economic structure. That failure is a general social failure common in the era. It is worth recollecting that social sciences developed later than hard sciences and are an ongoing project.
Afghanistan is not an unimportant player in the historical evolution of Eurasia. It is close enough to China's Xinjiang province that is itself at the top of an upward sloping funnel from the broad Chinese lowlands. Numerous ethnic minorities live at the top of the world finding a harsh living amidst deserts and great mountain ranges and passes. It is not impossible that Chinese military forces may travel that way some day to meet with destiny at the battle of Armageddon. Well, even so, for the present future terrorism, resistance to the Chinese authority, ethnic aspirations for independence and Moslem religious conflicts with godless atheists may form along with controversies about developing mining interests are possibilities that accentuate the perennial problems of political instability in Afghanistan.
Afghanistan-a poor nation that aspires to become a Taliban led exporter of terrorists to points all over the globe, has a challenging historical evolution cycle ahead of it. Certainly Americans are unwilling to invest more cash into developing that nation toward peaceful prosperity. It is of course unreasonable to expect Afghanistan to become like the United States-they can't afford it and the United States emits half of the greenhouse gases from cars and is the source of much of the perverse aspects of modern 'liberalism'.
The U.S. administration should quit being a pusillanimous power and recognize the facts of life in Afghanistan as if they really are in control of their own destiny their generally. They cannot rely on Kofi Annan to arrive and organize the resistance, as he seems to be trying to do in Syria, into one fighting force unified in order to negotiate with the government. Mohammed Karzai may be expected to become a dictatorial warlord after the United States exits who will become locked in battle with the Taliban while the Northern Alliance gradually shifts back to more defensible grounds outside of Sunni power and distrust.

One Formula for Bringing the Heat Death of Human Life on Earth
Of all of the chemical formulas that have been created to destroy human life, the most commonly used by that of burning ethane in fossil fuel burning automobiles to produce carbon dioxide and water.
CH3CH2OH + 3O2 ---> 2CO2 + 3H2O
Two average cars emit about 9 metric tons of carbon dioxide into the air annually. Global warming deniers must do so in order to stick their heads in the sand and rely on gasoline and automobiles for economic power.
Vested interests are unwilling to adapt to the increasing prospects for the heat death of a world climate suitable for human life on Earth.

About the Philosophy of American Meatheads
The post-modern philosophy of atheist meatheads for-themselves is a product of post-Darwinist educational developments and John Deweyianism plus a little B.F. Skinner behavorialism thrown in to the mix that renders virtually any though fundamentally meaningless and phenomenal.
When meaning is reduced to 'just the transmission of the genes' (that requires heterosexual 'marriage' of sperm and egg) and life experience is an abstract drive of deterministic biological requisites the mind and its contents are largely considered superfluous. Meathead theorists of politics believe that liberalism means the complete waveform collapse of rationalism into meaninglessness.
Liberalism of course did not advance by meathead philosophers seeking after nothingness but control by behavioral scientist-politicians. The Prophet Isaiah wrote of liberals in chapter 32 of Isaiah and the founders of numerous societies have sought after liberty. Their work and thought was actualized in the social dialectical realm that one might term 'the real world' even if it is a contingent construction of numerous points of view of personal experience.
The metaphysics of reality for-itself are rather complex. People have thought about it for several millennia, From Zhu Xi in 12th century China to Parmenides, Heraclitus and on to the 18h and 19th century German idealists the investigation of mind and its place in nature was subject to intense intro and extrospective thought. And yes, I cannot reasonably fail to mention Rene Descartes.
The modern foundation of analytic philosophy might be traced to Immanuel Kant and his Critique of Pure Reason and condensed version Prolegomena to Any Future Metaphysics that was summarized, synthesized and improved later by Arthur Schopenhauer in his 'Fourfold Roots of Reason'. That work is something like a great first half of a movie that one realizes is followed by a second half that is anti-climactic.
Bertrand Russell believed that atheists could live with strong moral principles even with the absence of faith in God. Russell seems something of an idealist innocent in retrospective comparison to post-modern American meatheads. The post-modern meat-heads have collapsed the idea of the possible value of moral principles too in their general stampede toward meaninglessness. What value might any natural laws or social morality present in language or logic flowing from human thought that could possess intrinsic extensional value?
This one natural regards Frederic Nietzsche-a kind of hero of the meathead movement, and his magnum opus 'Thus Spake Zarathustra'. If I had a tablet computer it would be convenient to abstract his book in a sketch with some logic symbolic notations added. A man that believes in the eternal recurrence of the Universe is recursively aware of the recurrence. Viewing a city from a lofty hill he disdains the moral structure of the city-civilization as meaningless. If one can view any society from a scientific detachment it is simple enough to regard the morality as phenomenal. Within the society however the moral order is simple a description of what people actual find acceptable in their social interaction, and they must have some interactive protocols by default.
Nietzsche believed that with the mystical insight of the eternal recurrence morality was superfluous and that the superior man would be completely without morality. Therein one finds the attraction by the post-modern meatheads in the common realm of the meaninglessness of morality.
Nazi Germany is sometimes held to have been a consequence of Aryan racial supremacy, yet in the true Neitzschian hierarchy of the amoral superman the Aryan herd appeal was simple a method to gain popular support by the truly amoral leadership running along in what amounts to a de facto ethic of personal egoism. Not even the Neitzschian eternally recurrent superman could appeal to popular support by saying that "I am far better than you cattle as a completely immoral individual, and I deserve your political support so I can ruthlessly exploit you to fulfill my will to power'.
Analytic philosophy developing from Kant through philosophers of logic and language did carefully research the relationships between words and objects and essentially anything that might be said about anything. They did not make words meaningless or purely phenomenal even if they did remove both empiricism and Platonic realism as inevitable parameters of lexicons and word ontology. Self-standing inter-referent lexical sets with meanings deriving from their own parameters, definitions and relations to internal and external referents were elaborated at the high point of 20th century linguistic philosophy by W.V.O. Quine.
One does not reach a meathead dead end with analytic and linguistic philosophy, and even metaphysical speculations are a kind of implicit aspect of cosmological thought today as one contrasts super-string theory, quantum mechanics, and the holographic principle. One might regard the many possible criteria of a transcendent God as the operator of monism yielding an occasional or perhaps infinite number of universes, or consider the phenomenal universe as a solid state physics phenomena generated epistemologically within a purely idealist context in modern terms upgraded from the Three Dialogues of Bishop Berkley.

Isaiah's Use of the Word 'Liberal'
The King James version was translated from the Greek Septuagint about 400 years ago, and the Septuagint was translated from Hebrew by 132 B.C. Isaiah was a prophet of the 8th century, yet some additional writing in the book was probably added as late as the 6th century.
The English translators of the Greek used the word 'liberal' intentionally. It best represented the word in Greek translated by Jewish writers of the Septuagint from their own language.
The word is used in Chapter 32, and I will quote verses 1 through 8 as well as a passage from the New Testament book John 8: 36-45 in order to show the consistency between what Isaiah wrote and what Jesus said close to a millenium later.
Isaiah 32
"1Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall rule in judgment.
2And a man shall be as an hiding place from the wind, and a covert from the tempest; as rivers of water in a dry place, as the shadow of a great rock in a weary land.
3And the eyes of them that see shall not be dim, and the ears of them that hear shall hearken.
4The heart also of the rash shall understand knowledge, and the tongue of the stammerers shall be ready to speak plainly.
5The vile person shall be no more called liberal, nor the churl said to be bountiful.
6For the vile person will speak villany, and his heart will work iniquity, to practise hypocrisy, and to utter error against the LORD, to make empty the soul of the hungry, and he will cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.
7The instruments also of the churl are evil: he deviseth wicked devices to destroy the poor with lying words, even when the needy speaketh right.
8But the liberal deviseth liberal things; and by liberal things shall he stand."
John 8:32-38
"36If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
37I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you.
38I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father.
39They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham.
40But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.
41Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.
42Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.
43Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.
44Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
45And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not."
The English translators of the Greek used the word 'liberal' intentionally. It best represented the word in Greek translated by Jewish writers of the Septuagint from their own language.

Faith That Rush Limbaugh's Language Evolution Will Become More Conservative
I saw a rather funny political cartoon in a newspaper that had President Obama pushing a wheel barrow of contraceptives up to Ms. Fluke from one side, and on the other stood Rush Limbaugh calling her a slut for taking them. Ms.Fluke stood in the middle looking confused.
Limbaugh often accurately summarizes the broadcast media positions on the left-the recent interpretations of the February employment statistics are a good example with Reuters, CNN, MSNBC, and the Washington Post painting it quite differently than the Gallup Poll the day before looking at non-seasonally adjusted numbers of the unemployed actually rising to 9.1% while the administration just says it stayed the same at 8.3% out of work.
Where Rush Limbaugh does the Republican Party substantial harm is in his environmental opinions that some therefore associate with all Republicans as a pervasive opinion.
Limbaugh did use inappropriate language though, and some conservatives would probably like to roll back language use to something before Lenny Bruce hit the stage and commercial television changed beyond the standards of 'I Love Lucy'.

Zhu Xi (1130-1200).. Indeterminism and Energy
Zhu Xi was one of the better Chinese philosophers of his age, and one of the twelve classic Chinese philosphers of Chinese history. He rightly disdained fractious public service though he passed the highest Confucian civil service examine at the age of 18.
I wanted to point out a few of his ideas that seem relevant today.
He has a metaphysics with Li or nature and its indeterminate status and also energy that is called Chi in Chinese I believe. Zhu Xi also thought that the character of the leader determined the well being of the nation. With four bad Presidents in a row and bad energy policy it is easy to share an opinion that America's Li and Chi are out of phase.
Nature of course has an indeterminate quantum status from a human perspective, although in-itself it is probably part of a monistic field of some sort, and homosexual marriages aren't natural. A national policy with unnatural Li and a fossil fuel Chi or energy policy is one moving toward global warming and perhaps the heat death of humanity except for the 1% that will fly to the moon on special space ships to places with a view built by robots (probably just science fiction thought there).
Zhu Xi was an investigator of things, and would certainly have appreciated Democritus and maybe even Plato if he had known about them. Aristarchus too might have been worth reading for the neo-Confucians of the time.
http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/116573/Zhu-Xi
The Apostle Paul elaborated upon the metaphysics of Jesus Christ, the spirit of God and man's relationship to a transcendent social realm that shares the parameter of applying transcending values to politics and social construction. Zhu Xi of course finds the metaphysical imperative in Li or the quantum mechanical nature of reality, while the Apostle Paul looked toward the Author of the Universal phenomena for-itself.
In either case, regardless of the political criterion we look at of the Song Dynasty or of Imperial Rome and 1st century Jerusalem, human leadership fails to embody the Li or Spirit principle in relating to the transcendent within the secular, empirical world even so far as to select a social environment with a best case energy policy reinforcing the continuum of life on Earth. Without respect for nature and the quantum uncertainty constructed within flowing righteous parameters the Spiritual nature of human society tends to lead toward crashes instead of passing silently through the Berlin Walls of industry,politics and mass extinction through intelligent redesign.
