Sleeping on a Mattress vs. Sleeping on the Ground


I had an opportunity to write an article on the topic of how the mattress one selects can influence one's quality of sleep. Sleep quality is very important for WashingtoniD.C. insiders, so I wanted to commend sleeping on the ground as well.
I have slept on the ground for several years in Alaska and learned that one tends to belch turning to one's left rather than to one's right. I believe the stomach isn't symmetrical so that is a gravity channel phenomenon. Sleeping on the ground lets one feel every sort of vibration and earthquake travelling through the muskeg or dirt. One discerns the difference between the short earth waves, the back and forth jigglers and the ocean-like longer length waves. Earth tremors and an important and relaxing benefit of sleeping on the ground.
The opportunities for encounters with nature and wildlife are greater sleeping on the ground that on a mattress as well. One discovers the eagles are out and about early and late singing their calls through the forest, and occasionally one may have a bear, porcupine or adverse humans approach one's sleeping site to enliven the time. These features of sleep are absent from the mattress placed indoors-though one has the advantage of stepping down to earth from the mattress rather than getting up from it-especially important when the weather is inclement or cold enough to remain below freezing all day.
The perfect sleeper indoors may dream of paper clips and provisions for the condo. The ground sleeper tends to remain alert for danger, falling trees (last year in Wasilla there were so many of the freeze dried things crashing about that even the moose must have taken notice), moose kicking the tent sharing a winter trail, large clumps of snow falling to crush the tent from trees, or in Colorado,Texas or Florida occasional high winds flattening the tent like their hurricane cousins. Sleeping through the approach and passing of Hurricane Wilma years ago was informative.
Why would any politician choose to sleep on a comfortable mattress instead of the ground?

Actual Dimensions; Fewer Than All Possible Dimensions?


One might wonder what dimensions are made of. It would be a tautology to define them as made of either mass or energy-things that are contained in dimensions or at least provide color content so that one might 'see' the otherwise transparent directions.
Mass and energy existing in dimensions even in a basic form such as strings or membranes ought not to be able to flow into dimensions that do not exist. One might tie a complex string knot in a finite number of dimensions, yet unless the nature of dimensions is that they can be infinite in number, their should be a limit to the number of dimensions a knot of mass and energy can take.
One must wonder if the number of dimensions any given universe might exploit is driven upward through cosmic evolution to the maximum number of dimensions possible, or if the number of dimemnsions that are possible for mass and energy to take is fated to be fewer than the potential number of dimensions that can exist potentially. One might ask if the potential number of dimensions that might exist must be the same as the number of dimensions that actually exist in the absence of mass or energy.
The obvious question though is; can larger meta-dimensions that surpass all possible universes in their contingent dimensions be anything besides omnipresent in relation to the contingent dimensions of mass-energy Universes?

September 26, 1983; Close Call for Nuclear Wipeout


September the 26th 1983 was an interesting day. Evidently the first world was within six minutes of being incinerated in a global thermonuclear war. The event in a Soviet military facility that day is recounted in a book named 'The Dead Hand' by David Hoffman. Yes it does read as well as a basic action adventure novel.
Evidently the Soviets like their U.S. counterparts had less than 12 minutes from warning of opposition force attack to make a decision to launch a retaliatory strike. Since the U.S.A. had 1000 ballistic missiles in Minuteman silos pointed at the Soviet Union and they only need 35 minutes to reach their targets the balance of the nuclear scythe of the respective nations was precarious.
Soviet satellites watched the U.S.A. and the computers processing the data made a mistake signaling a U.S. launch. Some Soviet officer named Petrov had to make the decision to advise Chairman Andropov if the attack was real or not. Andropov had little time to decide to wipe out Washington D.C., Boston and N.P.R. forever before Pravada, Tass and Izvestia were also incinerated. Petrov trusting his gut that the super-computers processing the data were wrong said the attack signal was wrong. His choice stopped the unprovoked Soviet missile retaliatory strike. There are many other interesting stories in 'The Dead Hand'.
With computer viruses existing on the Internet one might wonder if someone might launch the missiles by remote control one day. Well, it's an interesting world with innumerable weapons of mass destruction in the hands of people that don't even know what sex they are supposed to function with much less balance a budget and have full employment and a recovering ecosphere.

Obama Term 1: Four Years of Extended Tax Cuts, Five Trillion More Debt and Four More Years of Guantanamo Bay

President Obama has a plan for the nation, or at least for a re-election campaign- renew cheer-leading for Bush era tax cuts excluding the wealthy with a snowball's chance in hell of passing through Congress. That would let the President cave in at the last minute again in return for peanuts for his Chicago supporters and possibly the gay union to include the rich in tax cuts for another two years. The cost of another Obama Administration term would be at least another 5 trillion dollars of public debt. The national unemployment rate has remained above 8% and may get worse if any of several economic dangers arise including global warming events.

Long ago when Barrack Obama was a young lad growing up in Indonesia and later Hawaii, the Democratic Party was a realistic advocate for the economic rights of the poor. Democratic leaders were not sycophants signing off on tax cuts for the rich now and then. Neither did they demote the interests of the poor and regard them as illegal aliens or first generation American Hispanics prevalently. Democratic administrations were not drunk on the champagne of celebrity and glitter of stars and globalism; they were able individuals with a sober view of national interests and practiced real-politick post-World War Two that brought about the rise of prosperity of all classes of Americans.

The Soviet Union formed during the lead up to the First World War. Since the U.S.A. made its wrong decision a century ago to invest in foreign wars the need to battle against political situations of its own creation has been a recurrent theme of political class. That unaffordable policy ought to stop, as should abortion of the health of the world ecosphere yet the President has no apparent capacity to escape from a political economy of cephalic idiocy put upon him by his Rasputin Cohort of Advising bankers seeking to just concentrate wealth as bankers occupationally do.

The President might have mentioned the heresy of making banks non-profit institutions and been convicted of impeachable offenses of course, yet he hasn't taken even simple steps to reduce unemployment such as halting all illegal immigration so the labor market can tighten up and wages rise in the U.S.A.

Because the broadcast media is owned by the rich with the Gay Pride C.N.N. and M.S.N.B.C. on the left and Rush Limbaugh on the right the non-party political system seems a fact with idiotic, unreformed market economics plundering social reality nationally and globally the usual advocate for elevation of short term profits to the front of the political agenda.

Rush Limbaugh mentioned that the poor receiving food stamps haven't enough pain. Pain is some sort of incentive that people require to look for work in Mr. Limbaugh's view. Some of his ideas are a big pain for-others of course, yet it is the fact that he hasn't any meaningful competition that allows him to concentrate wealth and bespeak road apples of ignorance on environmental affairs.

Without reform of the broadcast media such that all Americans can have a time slice on a local frequency via the Internet the concentration of political power through the corruption of the rich owning the broadcast spectrum isn't likely to change. President Obama hasn't taken a step in that necessary direction either. He seems to be contemplating how to add another five or ten trillion dollars of public debt for the next generation to struggle with if he can get re-elected.

Lagrange Point Global Cooling Product Hypotheses

There are many ideas for installing sunlight filters to reduce global heating on Earth. Some would place various filters or sunscreens at Lagrange points in the Earth-Moon system where they would be stationary. I would like to add the suggestion that constructing mirrors and polarizing filter screen adjustable units on the moon for easier low-gravity launch into orbit with lower per unit lift cost reach Lagrange Point 1 might be a cost-feasible approach if the construction on the moon is made with automatic robotic 'factories' built on Earth for delivery to the moon.
There are probably innumerable ways of making cad/cam jet-sprayed mirrors on the Moon using lunar materials. An electromagnetic linear mass driver would launch the mirrors off the moon as independent components for assembly at the Lagrange point snapping in to place. The polarizing filtration should allow whatever spectrum of light wavelength in quantatively and qualitatively adjustably as science requires for appropriate reducttion of temperature. This should of course only be used as a last resort, yet of course it would still take a dedicated production program to ready ahead of time.
If the global heating problem is eventually solved by eliminating the surfeit of greenhouse gas emissions, the mirrors out to be moved and relocated for use as a very large reflector space telescope.

President Obama Failed to Reach for the Stars


Reading through Jeff Sach's 'Commonwealth' on global challenges one discovers simple paradigmatic appraisals of the world's major challenges regarding demographics, environment and poverty and feasible approaches for solving them. President Obama has failed to nuse the bully pulpit of the Presidency the past four years to educate Americans on several basic points-and they need to know if federal foreign and domestic policy is to ever change from the same old, same old.
The population of Africa is expected to more than double from one billion 2.2 billion by 2050 while Asia's will increase by 1.3 billion. Europe and Russia's population will decrease from 713 million to 630 million appx. Italy's present 1.3 per family rate of population decrease would bring the present population of 58 billion downward by the year 2300 to 600,000 people. Evidently, and hopefully perhaps, population nexplosions can change to poulation implosions reducing population without war, plague or famine.
Most future wars are expected to be in the regions of high populkation growth and poverty, With prosperity the population growth halts and perhaps eventually reverses. Because of heterosexual facts no genetic loss need occurs with population reduction, and the infusing of the human genome may create a genetically rich human population on Earth stabilizing at whatever number is desirable.
Inn a way the demographic growth and war on the environment is a kind o9f battle of the bulge that humanity can win. Poverty needs to be eliminated and full employment occur within a rational free market with competent government. Fossil fuels generate 29 Gigatons of CO2  annually and deforestation seven. With smarter people, better politicians educating the public and a recovering ecosystem stopping loss of existing species humanity has hope that nit can remain alive and reach for the stars.

Weak Job CreationPerformance/Loss of habitat Area for Endangered Species


The dismal job creation rate of the Obama administration is of course a consequence of the social environment. The economy is not an ossified practico-inert structure that functions automatically and from which Americans must merely equally harvest the output. Politically the two parties seem to regard it as such with the results being weak job creation performance.
It is possible to create a positive social environment with full employment for Americans and a good ecosystem recovering from a couple centuries of over-use and abuse yet the blind consumption/greed is good way of viewing politics and life reinforced by the broadcast media isn't likely to move in that direction. Necessarily therefor it is the poor and the ecosystem-the commons and life on Earth beyond the yuppie mirrors and gold-plated bathroom fixtures that take a beating.

Creation and Cosmos - The Literal Values of Genesis 2nd Edition


Happily I released an epub second edition of Creation and Cosmos - The Literal Values of Genesis today at my lulu book store http://www.lulu.com/spotlight/garycgibson
The second edition has much new and improved content over the first that was published in 2005. I liked that edition yet it didn't convert well to epub format. I was able to get a lot of cosmology and philosophy read since 2005 that helped reshape the book.
Epub books are really fairly cool. They have an index that is something like a hyper-text outline that takes the reader to each section of the book. One can download a free epub reader from Adobe. 
The book is available today only at my bookstore-it will be a few weeks before it is available elsewhere.

The Anti-Free Enterprise Effect of Corporate Collectives

In the time of Adam Smith and the Founders of the United States-the 18th century, there were few large non-governmental organizations. In the present era vast corporate conglomerates wield extreme political influence and are essentially antithetical to democracy based on individual rights and competition.

Consider the parable of the Pro Basketball League with a team being regarded as a corporation for illustrative purposes. Each team has a cap upon the number of players that can compete on the floor at one time at five. What if there was no limit on the number of people a basketball team or corporation could hire and play in the game?

The Chicago Bulls with a strong budget might hire 100 strong, tall men to their team to play next year. Because the Bulls are strong and numerous and since the Dayton Doppelgangers can only afford two players the Bulls win each year brushing aside the Celtics and Miami Heat. Investors pour cash into the Bulls and soon the City of Chicago is the entire team although they can't fit on the basketball court at one time. The Dutch Harbor Destroyers have trouble affording enough players to beat Chicago, so the Bulls increase in power and number winning several championships in a row. Without a limit on the number of players or employees a corporation can have at a reasonable number such as 5000, free enterprise competition fades away into a memory with the preferred locations and advantages of global concentrated power buying up everything and even prostitute-broadcasters to kiss their rears extolling the virtues of large corporations.

A simple reform of capitalism and corporatism to promote free enterprise, competition and rectification of individualism in business would cap the number of employees of a corporation at 5000 and the number of corporations an individual could invest in at just three. Microsoft instead of having a preferred location in the software world able to displace through size and power select competition would need to excel through plain intellectual excellence.  Like the 2012 Miami Heat a corporation would need to win through individual excellence of its players, coaches and training rather than dominate a market through gross large scale and political influence.


In pre-Columbian North America just before colonization the most popular Aboriginal sport was a war-like game crossed between field hockey and rugby in which anything was fair except murder. Many died of course getting punched, kicked and hit with sticks. It was a decadent era in which the more refined sport of javelin hurling at a rolling puck on a fine clay court had been lost with the fall of Cohokia. The logic of global Corporate expansion and decrease of government competence is to move toward the vast, unregulated sport of anarchy ball war before falling under corporate-communist global tyranny by a few elite representatives.

Large multi-national corporations decrease competition and corrupt local politics. Politicians are bought and paid for by multi-nationals and environmental and social agendas are corrupted in favor of the powerful. Broadcast media outlets are owned by concentrated wealth and power while politicians are unwilling to reform federal law to reallocate wavelengths for democratic, local podcast citizen use.

Corporations are after all just phenomenal large collectives of people not dissimilar to large Soviet collectives. One might read Sartre's Critique of Dialectical Reason' and get a clue about the phenomenal nature of social collectives such as corporations and communes. Governing a nation of individuals with a free enterprise ethos and rationally regulated corporations advancing ideas creatively and taking market share through superior creativity would be far less expensive and corrupted than as in the present era. The founders would have been quite concerned about the influence of huge non-governmental organizations and their anisotropic political influence upon public affairs.

Media Belief In 'God Particle' Between Rock and Hard Place

A Higgs Particle is one of the bosun class of elementary particles and appears or condenses when the Higgs Field is over-excited. The particle quickly decays into hadrons and electrons. Some high-tech neo-pagan media swags call the hypothetical particle 'The God Particle'. Also known as the Higgs Particle after its theoretical physics progenitor (something like the mother of the god particle), the medialosophical ramifications of the expected announcement on the 4th of July of the very probably, almost for-sure inferential evidence of the existence of the 'God Particle' at the European C.E.R.N. facility will be a kind of larger sky-rocketing of certainty that there is a basic particle that in some way emerged or emerges from a basic Higgs Field.
A Higgs particle appearing from a quantum Higgs Field brings one to wonder about its relationship to dimensions, quarks, strings, membranes and time. One wonders how an entire field emerges with space-time isotropy to experience local anisotropy and energetic precipitation. Actually the Higgs Particle if discovered raises more questions than it solves philosophically speaking. It might be better regarded as a demi-urge particle, or of some less than absolute particle even if it was or is common at some point in the history of space-time. Not even the Higgs Field should be regarded as a 'God Field' except in the sense that the Creator issued everything that exists at some point or in some way, even if it can't be pointed to in any particular particle.



More Bang From Extended Unemployment Bucks/Manufacturing Downturn


With unemployment benefits extending for many Americans throughout the first Obama term, and with manufacturing taking a downturn (in the U.S.A.-see Reuter's article)it would be a good idea to get more for the manufacturing and business sector from those millions of Americans collecting unemployment benefits that can't find a job. Matching the unemployed collecting benefits with potential employers that can't afford to hire could work. What is needed is creative thought and the will to win.
Let employers hire people collecting unemployment benefits at below to prevailing wage while the new workers keep collecting unemployment benefits for up to two years. Employers would need to pay insurance benefits and such, yet they might need to pay the new workers just 40% of the minimum, or 40% of the prevailing wage for that job. Employers could then afford to be productive at lower cost while the unemployed collecting benefits would earn more than just the unemployment check.
After two years the employer could decide to keep the  employee on and pay the prevailing wage as the U.I. benefits stop. Maybe the economy would be better by then. No employer that fires workers in a given area should be eligible to hire employees in that area for two years though-since some employers might take advantage of the availability of bargain price skilled workers.


In the economic cycle of consumerism-production, supply and demand buyers of product need to be able to afford product. It is also requisite that producers be able to afford workers to produce product. Producers and consumers benefit in the cycle when the consumer-workers earn more and when producers can afford to hire workers to manufacture product.


Letting potential workers sit idly as well as producers is a phenomenality of the low energy state conundrum where unemployment benefits aren't sufficient to allow major purchases. Those people should be at work. letting them work full time and keep their benefits two years (while employers contribute unemployment and social insurance at the full salary rate to workers employed at a steep discount) lets the economy tighten up with reduced numbers of idle individuals. Producers also have increased sales as workers have increased disposable income.

Obamacare, Big Brother Papering the Poor & The Death of 18th Century American Ideals

Obamacare's invasive tracking of the nation's poor with 50 states of bureaucracies out-of-phase with each other can tend to make one think that America is dead and Big Brother alive and well. Alternatively the population density of the nation and globalization of the economy through deregulation have made many of the criteria of the past politically speaking obsolete. Intelligent regulation is good, dumb designs of regulation created to promote bureaucratic power is bad.
It might be possible to adapt the nation's political paradigm to some better future state of being I would hope. The euthanasia of U.S. economic independence and sovereignty through deregulation of banks, mortgage trading and globalization might be reversed by competent politicians some day-in a real political dream act making even the southern border secure.
I wrote a modest post on how deregulation can mean loss of sovereignty. In the 18th century the founders hadn't a need to be concerned with how traders in London on the Footsie would react live to the price of farm goods on the Chicago Exchange instantly. Neither had they to be concerned about home mortgages bought and sold as commodities with derivatives, or even with deregulation so far as to allow a hundred million Chinese Red Army members to rent vacation property in Nebraska or fight-jet space at Reagan National-that is a logical extrapolation of deregulation.
Adam Smith's concept of free market economic with just competition governing them wasn't intended to be applied to government in general. Corporations are highly regulated preponderantly rather than anarchic ensembles of personnel doing their own thing. The business of government is the business of setting parameters and criteria that promote business activity that serve the best interests of the citizens including environmental concerns.
The United States has had mostly incapable leadership since Reagan-Bush. Two or three good Presidents in a row can make as much of a difference as two or three less capable ones, just as in the Roman Republic and Empire the leadership mattered much. If the United States continues upon ineffective economic and environmental courses  running up debt it could spell more trouble ahead. Creative solutions to those challenges are possible, however the failure to find good leadership or respect it are classical problems with democracy (eg. Aristotle's 'Politics'.

Deregulation Enables Death of National Economic Sovereignty


Whenever the government yields to pressure to deregulate banking, business and mortgages it runs the risk of giving up U.S. sovereignty over practical, national affairs. With the death of deregulation by a thousand cuts global firms develop advantages over ordinary U.S. citizens. The poor in the U.S.A. mare over-run by both cheap illegal immigrant labor as well by concentrated alien wealth able to scarf up distressed U.S. homes as at present.
Right wing pundits may cite Adam Smith's 'invisible hand' out of context as a rationale for explaining why dumb executive leadership in government is best. They may say that the invisible hand of a non-rational market works for government too and that if the government would just butt out the economy would function optimally. In that opinion they are dead wrong-not even Federal Express or Microsoft work on a non-regulated business model with workers setting their own agendas to best deliver product-they are tightly regulated, highly organized structure. Government leaders must also set economic agenda and criteria that direct the optimal national economic and environmental outcomes for the populous.
Competence in government economic direction and goal setting and coherence of political machinery of the U.S.A. into the future require secure borders and good meta-regulatory goals toward accomplishing specific results rather than an existential faith in non-rationality. The business of government is the welfare of the entire nation and that requires reason rather than global conquest of national real properties and economics.
Certainly Obamacare creates a vast attack on the freedom of the poor from invasive government tracking. With 50 different health care state bureaucracies the mobility of the poor may be grossly hindered by bureaucracy and paperwork costs. One free federal health care structure providing treatment for the poor if they need it would have been a more American rather than of a Soviet style of governance.

Sen. Murkowski Seeks To Bury McKinley Once More


Alaska Senator Lisa Murkowski has brought legislation to the U.S. Congress seeking to put down the name of Mt. McKinley and replace it with a traditional Alaska native name 'Denali' probably derived from the name of the Dena'ina Athabascan Indians of Alaska.


Athabascans were a great tribe of immigrants to Alaska that were the source of several branches such as Tlingit and Navaho tribes as well as numerous others.

It might be better to rename the tallest mountain in North America 'Tenados'-another traditional name. I believe Mt. McKinley has more than 27 different names.

Tenados is more readily traceable linguistically to ancient origins-perhaps even the large island named Tenados in the far Eastern Mediterranean Sea. There was an ancient Mediterranean Sea area people with a blood group found in Druse people as well as Algonquin and Yakima that migrated to America long ago probably bringing there language with them via Siberia.

The word 'Ka' is found in the word Ka'ba or spirit house in the Middle East, and the word Desh is a very ancient Egyptian name for 'land'. The Deshka River in Alaska is a drainage of Mt. McKinley running into the Susitna.

U.S. Corporations/Government Leak Military Technology and/or Illegal Aliens In Economic Attrition


Espionage in military and economic areas-often over lapping is on the rise. Not too surprisingly the United States with porous borders, globalist business models and a desire for short term profits lets more than 13 billion bucks worth of propriatary data get swipped by China and other countries every year. Lenin did say that "the capitalists will sell us the rope we hang them with".
Since the U.S.A. cannot run a balanced budget anyway and borrow money to pay for government etc, I suppose it makes sense to the unimaginative that selling the Red Army plans, kits or whatever to build weapons that might one day be used to help defend Washington D.C. politico lobbiists is a good enough business method.
That Z-10 attack helicopter is a bad lookin buzzard-I suppose the corporate ngovernance plans to sell better plans illegally to India too.

Spaghetti-Care Health Bill Patches U.S. Spree's Court (political humor)

Keeping the modern American tradition of hotwiring any possible sort of political legislation to make special interests happy the Court of All Possible Errors led by Chief Justice Shurbert voted Spaghetti-Care constitutional and individual man-date junkie dorrie because it's only a tax. A bubbly, refreshing and sparkling corporate media mogul sparks person said that Justice Shurbert's decision to side with the Spaghetti-care supply-siders was inevitable since the Chief Justice Shurbert is the most capitalized member investor in Corporatopia of the Spree Court and ordering transfer payments from individuals to Health Corporations by legal mandate of dedicated taxation is good for corporate profits health.

 In writing the majority opinion Chie f Justice Shurbert tweeted that  "Anyone not buying an epub copy of St. Novilistricka Dimensions for $1.49 deserves to be taxed." The dissenting opinion by Justice Excoriation gibed the opposite course; "The government should not tell people to buy anything besides "A Placed for Faith" in epub for $1.49."
 The progressive deterioration of U.S. political legislation and rise of maf-media influence since the end of the cold war have brought compiling debt, globalization and an incompetent, ineffective government fiscally Darwinian tangled-bank of policy hybridization to let bureaucracy and corporate power increase with borrowed money while concentrating wealth. U.S. home mortgages were set on a global windowsill like hot apple pies letting the Chinese Communist Party roll up Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae.
 Analysts have noted whenever Republican leadership fails to provide attractive free market reforms and to deliver a better lifestyle for the poor without onerous conditions the default positions inevitably develop to prop up short term media populism grown in the underwater ethos of decayed tree branches.
 In 1889 the State of Washington became part of the U.S.A., yet in Germany Otto Von Bismarck created the first old age retirement system that was later lost after Britain dragged the U.S.A. into the first world war enabling the revolt against the German Government, rise of Hitler's 3rd Reich and empowerment of the Soviet Union. If pragmatism had reached Washington in 1889 to provide free health care for the poor and Veterans the rise of bureaucratic entanglement of banks too big to be honest and bureaucracies too big to be competent might not have occurred.
 Some have suggested that like Adolph Hitler's populism in the form of national socialism in 1930's Germany with fast highway bills and federal jobs programs paid for with vast deficit spending, the Leader's populism may also stimulate rapid growth with piles of nearly worthless currency, yet cynics suggest there are few new prosperous nations out there to plunder and that look the 3rd Reich the collapse of the heavily indebted government is the most probably theoretical scenario for achieving fiscal equilibrium with or without foreign war. The 4th way of a Mexicanization intermezzo redistributing power of the U.S. economy back to a corrupt conservative class via neo-civil strife is the most hyperthetical doemstic alternative scenario for disavowing domestic debt.
 Reacting to the new Republican Presidential Candidate Mick Rockney took a line from the movie 'The Funk of Dreams' where the brain damaged offensive football lineman said 'If that plan don't work, they will come." Rockney said, "If that plan isn't replaced economic collapse may follow."
 The Executive Designer of Spaghetti-care immediately sought to place individual man-date tax structures on cable television subscription, old gay sailors homes and vacations to Hawaii in beachfront condos with fully stocked refrigerators and membership in Oahu brand floating Golf and Country Clubs.
 If social security were run with 50 different state policies without an ability for the poor to annually journey amongst states without switching legal state citizenship and coverage base it could become equally as ineffective as Spaghetti-care. Time delays implementing coverage and legal efforts to controvert citizenship status by states and insurers (i.e. the accused said he 'lived in Oklahoma 2 days already with an intent to look for work before moving on to Dallas then New Orleans, offshore then on to Florida and up the East Coast and got a hernia in Georgia working day labor for a day on the way').
 Because social security like Spaghetti care would be regarded as a tax, it would be swell to make it illegal to have coverage of Spaghetti-care or social security. Then those to poor to maintain enrollment or have Internet access, a post office box or residence in another state they look for work in each month could be regarded as outlaws and taxed whenever they became ill or were unable to afford a new car, new home, utilities and etc.
 Decades of pork barrel hybrid bill grafting have allowed expert political malpractice to develop in the nation's capital. A uniform national health care infrastructure for the poor that unified with V.A. hospital coverage networks would be the actual cheapest way to provide an affordable safety net for the poor on health, yet of course political ideology of the Congress could not allow anything realistic to exist-therefore the interminable grafting of pigs with wings in Washington D.C. continues as a chimera dancing on the horizon to media power while rational ecospheric, economic and security policy fades into the ash heap of history.

Eras of Trilobites Warming

Something like trilobites
chasing shadows over the ocean floor
one dimension of time shifts structures to the right
parallaxed professions for projects of war

Abducted nebulous secondary synecdoche is like that; a potent political meaning-dispersant
buildings with interior spaces
bar coded races
with existential places

Biomass of human life clinging to gravity
its surface of a clumped planet
flopping flounders and soles
in multi-dimensional power structures
without regard to reason

the common wealth is the green spring
salvation of the spirit
for opportune meaning
in constructions pure reason and faith

MDGs, 'Common Wealth' and Republicanism in The New World Order


If the post cold-war concept of a New World Order is to mean something besides chaos, recession and conflict with pockets of plenty here and there maybe it ought to mean an emergent common wealth of independent nations dedicated to making war on poverty in a paradigm of creating a sustainable, abundant biosphere. It is true that some human beings opt for the pure greed and intellectual abnegation of dead reckoning in which the environment and humanity is exploited or oppressed for short term profits, yet most of the world's population would choose to eliminate the problems of poverty and ecospheric destruction if they could; after all its the democratic principle.
 Jeffrey Sachs was C.E.O. of the U.N. Millennium project that made an experimental intervention in relieving poverty of nearly a half million souls in Africa and elsewhere through economic development. The program is scalable and could change the way of life for 250 million souls. The cost would be less than the Marshall Plan that spent  $65 per European following the Second World War. The cost is only about $50 per individual. Some would ask-what's in it for me in the first world?
 The phenomenon of human life on Earth is that of a biological mass for-itself presently consuming 25% of all of the life created by photosynthesis. That is an amazingly high number. Humanity is right at the edge of making the health of the other biomass in its Petrie dish plant unable to support the growing human biomass culture. The driving force for population growth, war, chaos and global warming today is poverty. Relieving the oppressed in poverty is the best way to halt population growth, global warming and ecospheric decay. The way to relieve poverty isn't through redistribution of wealth-the answer to that challenge is in creating locally sustainable economies able to interact in the world free enterprise system. That is enabling poor societies to support themselves through select financial and development aid from the rich countries to the poor is in the best interests of the rich countries as well as the poor.
 By 2050 the world population is anticipated to be about 9 billion people with just 1.2 billion in today's rich countries. The post-industrial and wealthy nations will probably spend far more on war and defense trying to sustain a global free enterprise system with a poor and oppressed third world while climate disasters are increasing than they would with an emerging world economy with few pockets of extreme poverty and bad health with preventable diseases such as malaria. Desperate people have nothing to lose in attacking advantaged and inimical corrupt nations. The poor have little besides religion for solace, while in the U.S.A. and Europe sports broadcasts and live sports spectacle has become the new opiate of the masses.
 I enjoyed reading Sach's excellent book from 2008 named 'Common Wealth'- Economics for a Crowded Planet. The future Romney administration ought to seek to fulfill the U.N. Millennium project instead of just leaving troubled Europe to carry the load of 50 billion dollars or so to get the elimination of world poverty rolling. President Obama has failed to bring the MDG program well enough to the attention of the people of the United States. Neither has the President explained to ordinary Americans why Millenium Development Goals are beneficial to even the unemployed citizens of the United States.
 I am not in complete agreement with Mr. Sachs of course. I have a far more utopian and high tech way of regarding the solutions to global economic issues, and far less regard for the general nature of human character-I suppose I tend toward the Augustinian point of view that human nature is totally depraved. I suspect that failing to take up the ideas expressed in Common Wealth will be a fulfillment of the idea that human nature is completely depraved.
 In today's partisan political environment allowing global corporatism to consolidate power the prospects for independent inventiveness becoming economically successful decreases as the populous run into the low ceiling of ubiquitous established economic power networking reinforced by government and the union of satisfied bureaucracy.
 Expecting 8 billion souls to burn fossil fuels or to afford expensive electric cars that the 1 billion can afford in the globally warming world with agricultural lands lost to encroaching rainfall failures and rising sea level is a recipe for disaster. Christians cannot morally afford to let avoidable evil occur with the excuse that God will fix it if needs to be fixed. It may be wrong to put God to the test, yet the opposite relation does not have Biblical proscription.
 Much of China's economic growth is a consequence of engaging their poor regions in the development of the national economy. In times past the United States too has effectively created the infrastructure for ending poverty through federal electrification and telephone programs. The Grand Coulee dam of Washington State is an example of government spending to create an infrastructure for economic development. Some of the post productive farmland per acre was made out of a desert directly providing food for domestic and foreign consumption.
 My opinion about nationalism differs significantly from Mr. Sachs as well. I believe that a new nationalism dedicated to transforming the United States into a vigorously healthy conservator of wildlife and the ecosphere in-itself with an economy designed with complete renewability and with a reformed capitalism that caps corporate personnel at 7,000 individuals in order to stimulate competition (and none could invest in order than three corporations) is an efficient way to make at least part of humanity spiritually enlightened without simple existential animal spirits directed people through a maze of temporal political and ecospheric confusion, misunderstanding and even failure. The cost to the United States of helping eliminate poverty in the world is in no way substantial enough that it would force a choice between either economic renewal in the U.S.A. or economic help to relieve the oppressed of the Earth.
As a biological phenomenality of life clustered around the dirt clumped by gravity humanity needs to develop a spiritual relationship with the Lord while still cognizant of the nature and existential phenomenality of the world and Universe he as provided. Human development requires sheer genius and the willingness to create far better ways of living and structures on the Earth and space than presently exist. It should also insinuate itself into a wild ecosphere as a superior being without destroying the development and evolution of that natural environment. Human civilization should move into fulfillment of the creativity it has in potential for constructing environments on Earth and space that allow less human-like life forms to exist without displacement. The resources of the natural universe used rightly by humanity should allow the increase of sustainable life rather than its decrease. Much of that increase of life well ought to be phenomenally non-human-even plants and things.

Jesus, The Good Sheperd - John 10: 7-18


The Lord describes his relationship to humanity in this passage from the book of John Chapter 10 verses 7-18.
King James Version (KJV)
"7 Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.
8 All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.
9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
12 But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep.
13 The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.
14 I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.
15 As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.
16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.
17 Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.
18 No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father."

Boundaries of Israel Given By God to the Prophet Ezekial


The prophet Ezekial received this description for the boundaries of Israel from God.
Ezekial 47:13-23
King James Version (KJV)
13 Thus saith the Lord God; This shall be the border, whereby ye shall inherit the land according to the twelve tribes of Israel: Joseph shall have two portions.
14 And ye shall inherit it, one as well as another: concerning the which I lifted up mine hand to give it unto your fathers: and this land shall fall unto you for inheritance.
15 And this shall be the border of the land toward the north side, from the great sea, the way of Hethlon, as men go to Zedad;
16 Hamath, Berothah, Sibraim, which is between the border of Damascus and the border of Hamath; Hazarhatticon, which is by the coast of Hauran.
17 And the border from the sea shall be Hazarenan, the border of Damascus, and the north northward, and the border of Hamath. And this is the north side.
18 And the east side ye shall measure from Hauran, and from Damascus, and from Gilead, and from the land of Israel by Jordan, from the border unto the east sea. And this is the east side.
19 And the south side southward, from Tamar even to the waters of strife in Kadesh, the river to the great sea. And this is the south side southward.
20 The west side also shall be the great sea from the border, till a man come over against Hamath. This is the west side.
21 So shall ye divide this land unto you according to the tribes of Israel.
22 And it shall come to pass, that ye shall divide it by lot for an inheritance unto you, and to the strangers that sojourn among you, which shall beget children among you: and they shall be unto you as born in the country among the children of Israel; they shall have inheritance with you among the tribes of Israel.
23 And it shall come to pass, that in what tribe the stranger sojourneth, there shall ye give him his inheritance, saith the Lord God."
