I read five minutes about faster than light technologies in my novella.

No One Believes Congress is Smart or Sharp

No one believes the U.S. congress is smart or sharp any more. President Trump offered a perfectly fine four point plan to settle the border issue that has become a lever for the Democrat Party to close down the government at a cost of 2 billion a day lost when it does shut down. The Congress should just pass the plan and move on as if it had something else to do.

Were there more than four good Presidents in the 20th and 21st centuries too, so far? My list has Calvin Coolidge, F.D.R., Eisenhower and just Ronald Reagan (because of the grace of ending the cold war). The rest were tryme and President Trump's time doesn't count as it hasn't finished and he mighht somehow get a tax rate of 90% on the most rich, transition to an ecologically sustainable economy, reform capitalism so those out of work longest are hired first (with tax incentives), patent exclusivity is reduced to three years with just 10% royalties to inventors after that, etc. Really, the Democrat party is intellectually dead. President Trump may need to sell them some ideas if no collusion was going on amongst those seeking his removal from office.

Mars Bound Astronauts May Eat SH*t

Astronauts apparently will need to eat sh*t (their own in recycled paste form) on the way to Mars. Mars is a little over-sold these days. Building on the moon might be better, yet plainly building man-size mobile greenhouses that can be tugged along in space to grow fresh veggies on the way to various moons and planets around the solar system is more palatable than the idea of eating crap though Americans are too used to getting that from both major political parties and NPR these days. NASA evidently feels that astronauts also are ready to eat their own waste products in the spirit of the government way of treating the poor and middle class generally what with tax cuts for the rich.

How much intelligence does it really require to innovate better ways than eating shit? Hopefully N.A.S.A.  and Penn State won’t suggest cannibalism if anyone dies in space as their next big idea. Growing squash as large as a moon may be possible in a micro-gravity greenhouse. Growing and towing some sort of turnip bigger than an office building in a mobile greenhouse alongside a piece of water-ice comet from the moon to Mars probably is better than eating crap.

Pieces of Eight excerpt 1 (video)

I read a five minute excerpt fromscience fiction novella.

Some Moral Minority (science fiction excerpt)

From my 1998 short story; Some Moral Minority...

Thus Zootrope Blitzbank's desperate invention upon which he worked for years; it looked most times like an empty twenty-five gallon electro/magnetic aquarium.

Libby held the field generator. The seemingly glass walls of the aquarium brightly arranged then transformed to a literal wavering of the field of reality for-itself. Reality or re-all verbally referenced was only an appearance of the way things are for the time of perception. Yet a substance of reality for-itself did exist (in theory) to create and order the appearance of mass-energy-time for others. What once supported quarks or strings or multi-dimensional nounlets motioned itself in noumenal non-referability as something-to-itself. One attribute minimized to non-objectivity stayed to be something that was a twenty-five gallon tank.

What reality was itself as a minimized scientific-technological objectivity expanded to an extended size appearance seemingly definable as reality within reality. A technology within being is a monism within pluralism within a monism. It was a being that could have no being or meaning for others except as itself to itself. The sober tank within the social reality of San Francisco could not probabilistically be. In fact it was very flawed so what might have been knowable as a perfect, representative form twenty-five gallon aquarium tank of reality in the Pithy Junk Shop was referred to simply as the project.

The Bergybits found the clues to the construction of the monist simulator in an ancient magazine manuscript named the Parchment Chronicles from the First Republic brought in by a City cellar scavenger with some beautiful green glass cheap- wine bottles. Second Reemdpublic libation bottles were made of recycled paper impregnated with vitamins and bonded with non-soluble ceramic-glue. Libby reached into the tank and plucked cherry from a life-like cherry from a grape cluster in the tank.

The tank said; 'Thank you Libby baby.'

Libby said,"Zootrope did you here that? It talked to me!"

"Maybe it’s growing up Libby."

Libby ate the cherry and thought 'this is good.'

The tank said; "You've made inanimate matter sentient my Bergybits, whom do you think you are; Mary Shelly and Charles Darwin?"

"Um, no tank" Zootrope answered, "We're only just experimenting with methods to escape the Second Reemdpublic."

"Sentience is not the only experience of what you think of as re-all. Your all has limited borders" the tank spoke, "you should have asked me about escaping before. Ears, Aristotle wrote, are the most vulnerable of the sense organs. Libby, Zootrope, are you believers in Jesus Christ, Lord of Creation?"

“Yes, of course tank" Libby said.

"Good. Now go forth and ready for the day. The Transference-libel section of Special Branch S.F. is sending personnel to arrest you soon." The tank became quiet and reflective.

Television crystalline-silicon building panels soaking up sunshine for the S.F. grid seem a part of space with the blue sky and cloud motif. Libby and Zootrope stepped out for more secure conversation.

The planet's seventeen thousand surveillance/commo satellites and ground sensory network made up an absolute real-time bugging web with all data stored and analyzed in the unlimited computer memory and logic units. Even the molecules of the oceans were used as a computer ALU by Interpolyopoly.comm, so the couple moved to complicate monitor holism in the neural networks by conflicting command and control borders in political operation authorization.

They walked to a mag-lev tube and jumped down sliding in rapid acceleration through the field guiding their direction with fin-like motions of arms and legs clad in silicon-superconducting everwear fiber tunics.

"Libby lets buy a half case of Wrangell Dark Ale before liftoff" Zootrope said leading Libby toward the familiar Gale mini-brewery in the blimp passenger terminal.

H Clinton and Special Interest B-Words

Hillary Clinton’s recent phrase about bitches supporting bitches is a reminder of why she was not terribly popular with those that aren't extremists. The Clintons were regarded as leading the Democrat party into an era of bitches and butches that had little regard for constitutional rights of those that aren't in their extremist identity groups. The Clintons seem like that Colonel Crittendon of Hogan's Heroes that seemed to be a catalyst for everything going wrong. democrats have been led to believe that civil rights means identity rights for special interests that don't need to be applied equally to all citizens.

It is a sad and evil thing that the United States today has no meaningful political opposition party to that of Plutocrats. Even the public radio system acts to pre-empt any possible populism of dissent and make sure that the poor (never mentioned) don't exist in the U.S.A. except as they are immigrants oppressed by white men-yet not rich white men who are their best friends in many ways. Sen Mitch McConnell at least has Steve Inskeep from Kentucky to keep an eye on things for him.

  Adolph Hitler made good use of the S.A. with its homosexual leadership to wreck German resistance to the national Socialist party Agenda and personnel. Often the special interest groups of bitches and butches are so narrow minded and weak that they cannot imagine actually reforming society except as their corrupt leadership desires.

Today even the Supreme court of the United States is corrupted by those that interpret the Constitution in whatsoever way the Plutocrats desire. None could seriously believe that the Christian founders of the nation would have allowed abortion or homosexual marriage to be included, and it is amazing that the court has interpreted ideas that would have been abomination to those Christian gentlemen as meaning godless atheism through other means in support of global plutocracy.

Real people under stress not uncommonly use foul language. yet it is important that people keep that mud off the public airwaves so far as they can. bad language degrades public sentiments and morals. Though people can get mud splattered clothers or communicable diseases they rightly ought not spread that about carelessly.

Special interest groups may be so devoted to their own causes that they remain unconcerned and unaware of substantial and equally important issues. If political parties are practically stupid and tunnel visioned the well being of the nation is not really assurred.If democrats were so gutless with President Obama that they had to get rid of most of F.D.R.'s tax schedule for the rich, leaving just a little for President Trump to cut so he could claim to be the party guy that gives tax cuts to the rich, there is little real prospect for an intellectually bankrupt party rushing headlong for the global sewer of political superfluousness trusting in the risch to reform economics and morals for them.

After so many generations of television the nation really is politically at least becoming dumb and dumber. The more that ordinary people are trained to be degraded the likelier they are to be so. The poor have as much right as the most rich to politically run their nation. While wealth does allow some citizens to have far to much public political influence there is no political or moral reason why that should be so. The more narrow special political interests of the poor and middle class are, the less regard they have for their own capacity to reform capitalism and ecopnomics of the nation including tax policy the worse it is for those experienceing the unfairness of an implicitly malfunctioning public social order that cannot reform the patent process or employment rehiring for those that have trouble getting work. Neither of those require much public legislation for upgrade-it merely needed by competent.
