Quank Realism in the Corporate World

There are many people that are naive realists that believe macro-economic policies contain no concatenated environmental effects, and that the world has an unlimited carrying capability for human population growth and physical alterity.

Malthus early on formalized his population theories after working for the East India Company. The Ricardo developed the iron law of wages predicated on maimum human fecundity. Businesses often haven't the budget to hire philosophers to form competant environmental awareness and social responsibility doctrines for them; instead they work simply on the most growth possibile. It is a driving drunk and blind policy analogously when concatenated to the planetary level.

Rush Limbaugh sells cigars and assaults socially responsible environmentalist with the most depricatory and anti-democratic language he can...he is bought and paid for in that regard philosophically speaking. Like a made man in the mafia he cannot quit the economic mileau in which he and others of his sort wallow and remain employed or socially relevant.

In the quank-realism growth school of ignorance there are no limits to growth, and if any environmental problems ever develop they can be solved by free-enterpise and capitalism at that time. Ignored is the actual hiostory of pollution and environmental disasters and deleterious effects created as byproducts or externalities of economic enterprises.

The quank-realist school of ignorance posits absurd political straw men arguements to defend at minimal cost the right of at least capitalists to be environmental irresponsible. When the environmental havoc that the former Soviet Union created was revealed after the fall of 1989, the mass media and U.S. Government were too happy to publicize it. Now a quank-relaist tactic of cheap defense is to accuse any environmentalist of being 'wacko' or socialist, leftist or even North korean-as if Kim Il is a well-known benefactor of the Korean Peninsular environment.

In the quank-realist school capitalists at the last minute well step forward to spend for the public's benefit, instead of just the public paying taxes as it has generally been financed. Since the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill the number one coporation on Earth in wealth-Exxon...has litigated and litigated ad nauseum to resist with the fire of a tiger in it's tank, paying off the damages/judgement against it.

In the quank-realist school of social irresponsibility the last generation will pay the concatenated externalities of generations of corruption. The deleterious bilogical effects of exterminating species and social brainwashing will have formed a set dtermined by natural selection of the crass and ignorant, irresponsible and greedy to the point of being daft votaries of a bound value system.

There may be many socialists hiding in the federal government and in trans-national corporations too....since they are de facto collectives with a graduated pay scale...and don't forget the military.

Social organizations are collectives with a dedicated purpose to enrich themselves in many instances. Sometimes they seek to use public resources like North Slope Oil to benefit the few.
It is worth recollecting that trans-national corporations are not individuals going about there individual business, but are instead vast concentrations of wealth managed by a few to their own purpose. It is wrong to treat those clumps of social power as just any other individual, politically. Otherwise one might say that Japan Inc or Communist China are simply one organization, maybe bigger than Exxon in number of people yet not as rich financially perhaps.

The historical inertia behind anti-communism that continues into present U.S. right wing rhetoric is generally a way to divert discussions from useful and reasonable contexts onto those of straw men argumnents. Of course one doesn't want authoritarianism from any source repressing rights, yet the environmental movement to conserve clean air and sufficient natural habitat to perpetuate the most species possible is a valid public venture. It is preserving Noah's ship if you will.

People are confused...I replied thus to a question about 'Is Heaven Communist?'

''Communism was a human social philosophy based on a macro-economic policy of the 19th century. The eventual heaven hasn’t anything to do with human economic policy, nor of course the problems implicit in the criterion of orignial sin.

Karl Marx reading GWF Hegel and a contemporary of Charles Darwin had some ideas about change and perhaps the idea of evolution. The simple messianic derivation of creating a Utopian State that would be a Heaven on Earth was a miscreation parallel to that of the historical Satan's jealosy of God and eventual fall from grace.It is an ancient story derived even by Freud in a form known as the Oedipus complex in which the son desires to displace the father. Satan sought to displace God, while Jesus was the perfect filial son serving the Father even unto the loss of His own life on Earth.

The categories of words, language and scenarios are important elements in rightly understanding meanings and inferences from them. One must remember that on Earth Christianity is a transtemporal philosophy or belief/faith in the ultimate and true God-Creator of Heaven and Earth.Heaven is an element of the nature of God and his power to will or create. Human social organizations haven;t anything at all similar to it. ''

Air Traffic Safety

Gary C Gibson. - 01:27pm Mar 17, 2005 EDT (#71 of 71)

It may be that there is a coinciding interest of terrorists and authoritarian governments in limiting the availability of air travel to those on politically correct lists. Terrorists seek to intimidate 'corrupting' foreign elements from interfering with their national or tribal sovereignty, and neo-Corporatists wish to limit the opportunities for dissidents and the uncoopted to conduct business in a rival form. Gosh, it could even be that Satan seeks to extend his realm from broadcast spirits and cohort brainwashed minions into physical air travel roster selections. Life has so many possibilities!

Yet airlines burn jet fuel and increase oil company market size, they will thus be around long after they could have been replaced by faster ground traffic in electro-magnetic arrays I should think. Like fossil fuel engines they are a vital sales and profit outlook for the oil ex officio zaibatsu or shogoshosa if that word is spelled correctly.

When I attended an air defense school some years ago learning to identify Migs as old as Fitters and Fishbeds to the post-modernists and French air vehicles from U.S. aircraft I realized that the wild blue yonder doesn't provide much cover for aircraft from direct ground fire. Not only rockets like stingers or direct fire weapons like the Vulcans existed, but commercial jets and even military jets that haven't a VTOL capability might utilize regular landing takeoff and approach patterns. They present regular and fairly simple targets to innovative hunters of the big birds unfortunately. It is an ironic fact that a new generation of very advanced direct fire weapons based on electro-magnetic accelerator technology has found its way into weapons such as pistols and rifles, ship cannon and SDI rail guns yet not into peaceful high-speed ground transportation.

It was Robert Goddard that first invented the idea of building an EMG subway from Boston to New York early in the 20th century to be turned down by the Federal Government. Even Popular mechanics has ads in the back selling EMG accelerator kits for 120 dollars for experimental purposes. The simplicity of emgs to build and exist conceptually seems to offer the inference that over time they may be fielded by terrorists with or without covert government support to assault aircraft as the political utility of such to elevate the prospects of political beneficiaries indicates.

The Bush administration isn't helping to grow a non-war ethos in the world. While conflicts may arise ostendsibly for good reasons there should still be intelligent and aggressive pursuit of rational macro-social alternatives to conflict that are cognizant of the economic, energy and environmental limiting factors that could by-pass the stupid and blundering ways of inertial invention and application sloth. The world is of a limited extent, and the physics of it are understood fairly well by some at least, it will be a good day if the nation ever returns to a leadership with intelligence, and one that isn't some sort of a Spanish C.W.style P.O.U.M. character.

It should be able to work in the existential-environmental fields with scientific intelligence, instead of with discordant off-pitch tweakings. If only President Bush had learned to play the guitar, instead of being a sort of Carlos Hathcock snipping up environmental policy. Yet like General George Washington, who could have been shot by a snipper at Brandywine Creek but was spared because the Brit would not back shoot GW riding away mounted, the environment too may be honorably addressed and remediated by objective souls unto a sustainable course. Will SEN. Hillary or S.S. Condi start using steroids in 2006?

The physical Universe exists within the will of God. At the largest and smallest scales it's parameters are unknowable except as revealed by Non-Contingent Being.. The scalable universe is rational.

Epistemological criteria for human intelligence and its nature are necessarily an issue with those contemplating the ability of humanity to recognize issues such as what is or isn't true,what truth is, if truth is immutable and unchanging, if people are able to formulate true ideas regarding the cosmos or subjective neoro-psychology and neuro-psychological cosmologies with veracity...etc.

Postulates that are answered more than tautologuously would be an element of a process. Is extra sensory perception a phenomenon of the non-locality of waveforms and sub-atomic particles/waves, and a number of other questions and criterion pertain to what one postulates. In considering various questions regarding the nature of the physical universe and its history, as well as the contents of the Bible it is helpful to accurately comprehend the contents of each and whatever else is used for rational investigation tools and studies. Some still believe the Big Bang theory instead of the hyper-inflation theory with a space-time inflaton ballon instead of a detonation of a singularity into a pre-existing vaccuum.

Cosmologies will come and go, farther and better structured cosmologies will arise, and the Codex Sinanticus will be put online over the next four years to give the earliest exisiting bible in the original greek to scholars and others that want to see what was written in the first to fourth centuries without the possible alterity of scribes in subsequent millenia. Each element of the cosmos and the Bible may be integrated and contemplated,humans see through a glass darkly, and mathematicians must utilize non-visualizable mathematics to model some super-string and M-Theory cosmologies.

Many of the ideas formed about the Universe are simply Kantian and phenomenal in character-yet not without purpose. Even this post excerpt about water changes as understanding changed... " In the beginning God said let their be light, and their was light. Of course it might have taken several billion years which were to God as a day figuratively speaking before human eyeballs could evolve to process incoming photons via a chemical reaction in the retina through bionerve pathways into images and forms in the brain of phenomenalities of the 'outside' world.

In the meantime the most abundant element in the Universe formed-hydrogen, as well as other elements through star formations and nuclear reactions following the coalessence of waveform particles through gravitational force and pressure. Water (H20) was eventually abundant, and the water was divided from the heavens and the Earth eventually...after enough material swirled into compaction to form a planet such as the Earth, enough water fell to Earth's surface from 'the heavens' to permit an oceanic slosh of water to accumulate.

Water ice is still plentiful in 'the heavens'. Heaven of course may be different things at different times to different people in different languages and cultural contexts. Freedom is free, or svaboda as those clever Russian rocket scientists might say, yet interpreting natural history and finding present technologies than can advance space exploration toward the future can be a tedious process requiring much inventiveness and liberal determination.

The heaven that God has for-himself...that is,not the one that people think of as space but the one that is the pure realm of potential and actual forms expressed by the infinetly creative will of God, is a difficult concept for humanity to comprehend sometimes, yet emulating the infinite goodness of God so far as anyone can comprehend even a bit of anything about the creator all everything, is worth doing in creative technological research."

The President and Americanism with Oil on It (Baked Alaska)

• Reason and faith can discover a cosmic structure fit for rational parameters subject unto God's moral law.Baghdad's police chief could have used one of those nice light armored personnel carriers (not an M-113) to stay alive when driving about the city between ambush points, such as some British soldiers once used in the former conflict in Northern Ireland. Common sense should be an element of democratic planning, yet it is something the Democrats tend to lack and the Republicans a surfeit of. Mr. G.W. Bush has launched his northern prong of the two part second term offensive with three years remaining on the mission to conquer the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and annihilate the resistance to complete reliance on foreign and OPEC oil resources forever, and the southern offensive to eviscerate U.S. social security with illegal aliens, cheap shock workers, another two trillion taxpayer indebtedness to foreign lenders and so forth.
  
  The Presidential plundering of oil is going according top plan with oil prices and profit for Exxon-Mobil and Halliburton predictably up. Neo-Corporatism indirectly oppresses free expression and controls markets while subordinating free enterprise small businesses as they grow to eliminate rivals. Neo-Corporatism and trans-national stockholders of American economic developments will tend to marginalize and outright oppose renovations or revolutions in national energy and transport infrastructure. Neo-Corporatist transmissions will condition the public to rave and denigrate individual rights while corrupting liberalism in a reductionism of independence to the meaning of debauchery. Neo-Corporatism will define individualism as communism and corporatism as independence and capitalism.
  
  Though Muslims from non-oil producing nations like Spain may declare a FATWA on Os Bin Ladin, the U.S. administration may not reign in the terrorist from a family of a former Bush oil business partner before GWB leaves with the swag bag stuffed to overflowing and the nation with a legacy of vast debt in 2009. Is the middle east moving toward democracy, or are the people set to reject rule by people that cut off their heads to double their pleasure and terror when not blowing themselves up with plastic explosives in public places...it is possible. Yet is America moving toward neo-Corporatism with transnational rule adversely impacting national economic and social development would seem to be a more interesting question.
  
  Americans seem presently to readily inclined to fall in step with neo-corporatist or pseudo-authoritarian government so long as it doesn't market itself that way and as they are moderately prosperous even if there is a vast national debt and present federal budget deficit. Democracies have the inherent problem of arousing the people to action against clear and present dangers while failing to create a stir in their troubled sleep against more complex economic and political dangers, even from within. The public may be briefed 24 times a day on the Michael Jackson trial, and fail to consider more substantial economic issues at length. The public relies on neo-corporatist media to inform them of important issues in a way that is similar to a public that would trust an oil man to safeguard ANWR, discover alternative fuels to replace oil, or lower the cost of oil per barrel. The U.S. democrats will be conditioned by neo-corporatists to believe that debauchery, homosexuality etc. are the main issues for Americans...until the wave hits there door they can't believe it could-reasonable concern is Chicken Littlish.
  
  Democracies tend to be manipulated by corporate entertainment into disregard of their own best political interests-even the British magazine the Economist had a homosexual photo mocking the sailor kissing the wife at the end of WW II with a sailor dude smooching another dude instead...the Brits have royal tradition and a corrupting urban environment that promotes depravity while making profits for transnationalists. Authoritarianisms sometimes like public...
  

The second Bush administration has now set into it's three year mission to redistribute two billion dollars of taxpayer indebtedness to Wal-Street and agitate, lever and finesse the plundering of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuger. It woulds have been good if the Democratic Party the last election had run an electible candidate instead of a self-described warp criminal.

With 300 million citizens and perhaps half theoretically affiliatedf in some way with the Democratic Party at least throuigh familial associations it is remarkable that they must run such dogs without fundamental qualities such as could make them phi beta kappas, movie stars and sof forth aloing with some record of public service. How can the alternate party be so bloody lame?

The Demo Party in removing the Republicans from the Presidential office in 2008 need to stay away from divisive immoral issues and focus on environmental, economic and national security issues instead. Fundamental lack of respect for basic human rights and the civil liberty of equal regard for the rights of others is a pervasive and damaging consequence of becoming mired in the corruption of the homosexual and abortion agenda's, and the Hollywood entertainment of Democrats with their products that make the masses prime chumps for Global Corporate leadership.

Social Security is a part of a more general social environment of national security and self-reliance. Secure borders, a tightened labor market and better savings rate for ordinary citizens, alternate nationally produced vehiclesx running on home-produced fuel-cell electric power fed into in highway power grids (with aux batteries), higher wages for low paying jobs that cannot be outsourced when illegal aliens aren't available to fill them...social security can be found in people paying more social security taxes because they have higher wages to pay them wiith, and because their would be a means test to prevent people from collecting monet they don't need as in any reasonable insurance policy.

It is evident some Democrats want the genius of Mr. G.W. Bush to emerge and be allowed free reign to lead the people with tough guy speeches into a malleable political form that wwill stuff the stocking of global corporations for decadesa to come grabbing the people by the short hairs now. Yet the people were daft enough to reelct the President when no one was run against him with suitable qualifications for the job. The elected Bill Clinton to a second term too unfortunately when the perfectly decent Bob Dole was available.

Will Chelsea Clinton be available to keep the dynasty alive in 2026, or will Neal Bush seek to take the top job after G.W.'s other brother serves two terms...wait and see as oil price rise to 5.00 a gallon, ANWR is a swamp without oil underneath having subsided a bit too in global warming? AT least those new high tech tires with no inflatable rubber will be out in a year or four.

Comet Wrangling

Would it be practical for N.A.S.A. or space entrepreneurs to intercept comets with their abundance of frozen water and redirect their course to a lunar orbit for the purpose of providing a water resource to early colonizers of the Earth's moon?

Some studies have been researched to suggest that various forms of extraterretrial body intercept technologies should be developed to forestall another planetary impact of a life on Earth ending asteroid or very large meteor. The ion engines and other parameters considered might as well be adapted to regular water supply provisioning and have ongoing value instead of being simply mothballed as a potential emergency tool. In ongoing use the comet and asteroid moving technology could evolve in efficiency through practical application.

In the beginning God said let their be light, and their was light. Of course it might have taken several billion years which were to God as a day figuratively speaking before human eyeballs could evolve to process incoming photons via a chemical reaction in the retina through bionerve pathways into images and forms in the brain of phenomenalities of the 'outside' world. In the meantime the most abundant element in the Universe formed-hydrogen, as well as other elements through star formations and nuclear reactions following the coalessence of waveform particles through gravitational force and pressure.

Water ice is still plentiful in 'the heavens'.

Heaven of course may be different things at different times to different people in different languages and cultural contexts. Freedom is free, or svaboda as those clever Russian rocket scientists might say, yet interpreting natural history and finding present technologies than can advance space exploration toward the future can be a tedious process requiring much inventiveness and liberal determination.

Rounding up a fair water supply for future lunar colonization should be an affoirdable and useful project for those interested in moving beyond the exploitation, war and pollution contexts.

Insecticide, Texas Politics and plundering the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge

Friday 4:30 pm approx.-- Painting exterior of nice home in West Texas. Weather gray and overcast; wind moderate 15 from the north. Downwind was speed-painting trim to beat anticipated inclement conditions; suddenly I got a good breath of insecticide and an eyeful. Waited a few seconds to decide if I could continue painting, stopped and went inside house.

The 'Bugs are Us' guy in the bright yellow pickup truck with a bed full of equipment and pumps perhaps in pursuit of fire ants or termites had launched at aerial mist spray from the next yard upwind. An accident-all I heard was some disparaging language in the cell phone he was using walking about the yard.

It reminds me of the atrocious West Texas water supply, not to mention my days at army chemical school learning to identify hazardous military hyper-insecticides like GB and GA or VX. The water is amongst the worst tasting in America perhaps because of decades of Permian basin oil drilling and the polluting drilling fluids that have been pumped into the underground water reserves over the last century. Of course cotton crops from Amarillo to San Antonio haven't helped either. Each pair of jeans requires about 3/4's pound to produce some article mentioned maybe in pop mechs.

Chemicals have been a stumbling bloc for Texans, they produce and use a lot, believing it of immaculate conception and application that can do no harm to left wing eagles even with DDT. The founders of the nation may have been liberals, but Americans today think that means socialism and debauchery, and have forgotten what personal liberal ideas mean in the headlong rush to become conservative Tories and royalty or neo-Corporatists. Immigrants from authoritarian nations tend to be conservative too, and the liberal heritage has been eclipsed by a generation of the indolent and aggressively conservative.

Texan labor standards seem worse than that of many parts of the nation. At a Miracle Grow plant south of Abilene at graveyard shift when temporary and regular workers used compressed air to clean off the machinery, almost no one was wearing a protective filter mask or eye protection in the cloud of chemical dust that would grow the wrong cells in human beings. Texans have sought for a way to develop new sources of cheap labor after slavery and segregation dried up. Now to a certain extent it’s China, but like slavery the exploitation of others eventually results in the social demise of the perpetrators as the grapes of wrath are trod.

The pervasive use of chemicals and accompanying criminal dumping of toxic wastes may have been perpetrated in the state of Texas and offshore in the Gulf of Mexico for decades. The administration of course would like to follow the Soviet model of exploiting the high artic and accelerating global warming with rampant oil development on the Arctic Ocean littoral. They may soon use the higher oil profits they've managed that has put Exxon-Mobil back to numero uno in planetary businesses and mover Halliburton toward the black after taking over Brown and Root and it's litigious obligations as inspiration to assault the nation's final; large oil safety reserve in the Arctic National Wildlife Reserve and drain it to make America forever reliant on trans-national oil sources until some liberals break free from the Global neo-Corporate Tories with an electrified interstate power grid and individually metered cars with electric engines. Each homeowner could have a home fuel cell and sell electricity to the grid in excess of his auto power consumption.

A transnational oil supremacy transaxle of evil that would sink the aircraft carrier America in 6000 feet of water in the Atlantic has no qualms about plundering ANWR for cheap profits, running up trillions and trillions of national debt, compelling interest payments on the debt to Global Corporations for decades or centuries and generally attacking American financial independence.

The issue of Global Warming and the percent of atmospheric carbon dioxide may seem trivial to the privileged, yet the world's oceans have already absorbed a third of the carrying capacity of CO2. Sending diesel engines to tramp the north slope of Alaska won't help the nation to prosper, nor will the administration's inability to concentrate on liberating the nation from over reliance on foreign leadership and production serve to create a healthy and secure nation in the future.
