Oppophobia Hits Democrat Fellow Travelers Hard



Fellow travelers of Democratic Party antiphobists such as militant Muslim propagandists have a renewed vigor for increasing Muslim attack on American political inside-lines through the mechanism of opposition to Islamophobia. Islamophobia is a vanguard tool of the renewed post-OPEC annexation of wealth of Middle- Eastern oil fields that brought a formerly arrested civilization to a new age of expansion and attack on the dar al harb (zone of war) through a variety of means.

The western world today is supposed to have a psychological disorder if it aware of history and of Islamic history being that of a rival civilization to the Western (and now Eastern) civilization since its beginning in the 7th century. For a time, after the last Muslims were expelled from Iberia at Granada in 1492, Muslims attacked from Turkey and on a broad Eastern flank with Islamafied former horde cadres of Genghis Khan. As the west prospered and technologically grew the Muslim world stagnated. Hence Arnold Toynbee described Islam as an arrested civilization. However that status change with the billions and billions of dollars of cash from oil sales. Several Muslims terror organizations including state sponsored terrorism began a renewed attack on the west through a variety of means. Some of those had plausible deniability- while the expansion of Madrassas and mosques continued.

In spite of decades of terrorism and even destruction of the world trade center towers in New York the Muslim hegemony on the west through growth of Islamic migrants and communications, propaganda in support of Islam can claim the west has some sort of unhealthy psychological aversion to its culture, Shria (Islamic legal code) and religion. Those interested in the health of civilization would be incompetent if they were not aware of the challenges Islam presents to a decadent morality of the west, synergy with leftist polemics of attack on conservative America, and history of the liberal use of terrorism accompanying the Muslim return to prosperity and internationalism.

The left and Muslim polemicists over-use the pejorative psychological jargon for aversion; phobia. Political opposition is fine. Democrats and fellow travelers have an aversion to opposition; an oppophobia, that makes the truth harder to find and work with as it should in order to invent better social relations that respect cautiously the ways of others. That cannot occur on a one-way street. Democrats need to lose their oppophobia.

There are a lot of variables in politics. Democrats tend to like to mash them all together and say nothing matters. Politicians should address particular variables differently as they should be managed in order to work toward a more optimal line of development rather than an entropic one. Of course it is easier to just be loose and for anything politically because that requires little or no competence.

Sanders, Putin and Warren; Similar Opinions?

Bernie Sanders on socialism may share some opinions about politics with Russian President Putin. Mr. Putin may be semi-socialist as he goes about reforming Russia with a Super-Presidency invented by Boris Yeltsin. President Putin said that the U.SS.A. isn't a democracy because of the electoral college. I think he might misunderstand the way the electoral college is representative of formerly independent states that created a Union while keeping some independence in proportional representation, The system keep a heavily populous state like N.Y. or California from taking federal power and ordering everyone's resources brought to their own.

President Putin should not do as American politicians do, he should try to keep up working on the the good U.S. constitution says; U.S. politicians do not really get it sometimes. Presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren is for abolishing the electoral college. Hopefully President Putin is not providing collusion with or for either Mr. Sanders or Ms. Putin.

Abolishing the electoral college would allow a dominating federalism elected by a geographic minority to legislate and execute laws diverting rivers to California and natural resources from one state to the minority for disposal. That might be desirable in Russia that has a tradition of strong Moscow centrist rule, yet for the United States centricism and rule by the most populous states would pervasively corrupt what democracy still survives in the corporatist political ecosystem. The national capital could be relocated to New York or Los Angeles, or both seasonally and the government could be run directly by Wall Street-Government partnership.

Two-Sex Wombmates Balance Probably an Evolutionary Success

Recent reports have shown that female and male twins born together (one male and one female) diminish the abilities of the female twin. Evolution has found a winning formula that doesn't work so well for modern urban female opinion. The latter would think the female twin should be equal in ability and worldly success.

Male babies mature reproductively later than females, so a more stable social environment is requisite. During tough times more female babies are born. Select male advantages of sharing a womb with a female are interesting, yet the female will find reproduction easy even with lesser ability- maybe- than her brilliant twin brother.

There are likely to be numerous reasons why evolution has structured a slight advantage for male twins over their female womb-mates that will be discovered. It is an irony that what people want isn't necessarily what evolution and/or God would regard as the best course for human events. What is wisdom to man is foolishness to God.

Congress Should Establish Non-Binding National Referenda

The Congress should establish non-binding national referenda and permits perhaps three per year to poll voters actively on controversial or neglected issues.

Congress should also not try to monkey with the electoral college for it may be the most important recognition and utilitarian expression of state's rights as quasi-independent states within a national union. To alter the electoral college would in effect annihilate vestigial independence of the 50 states, and that is a bad idea, for all of the flumery and corruption by a federal authority that would be likely to follow.

Fiber Optic Skylights

Apparent skylights collecting sunshine and running it through fiber optic cable through a window to an in-room photon disperser should be available on the market sometime soon, if they aren't already, since they should be easy to manufacture and install.

Many rooms that could be lit during the day with sunshine from a skylight instead of light bulbs can't be easily retrofit with a hole cut into the roof (that costs a lot too except for do it you-selfers. With luck someone will manufacture the items and sell them at Home Depot later this year. For pull up windows there should be security screen that fits into the opening and can be made fast to the window and sill securely to prevent easy burglary access.

Fiber optic cable should be in 10, 20 and 30 foot lengths.

Home-Schooling Law Degrees

I thought I would mention that on-line law degrees are well established. One might save some of the costs of residence in a distant state if working on-line from home, while attending law school.

So many fields change. One might even imagine a distant future where 3D printing locally replaces select foreign imported consumer goods.

Concord Law School Global

Expert systems programs for legal training may evolve to bring down the cost of legal education leading to passing a state bar exam. Legal trainees may be able to learn and try to pass law exams at home before taking the official test in order to learn where they need to strengthen upan reinforce weak areas.

One should someday be able to purchase a complete, quality law degree training course for five easy payments of $19.95. Presently even on-line degrees may cost tens of thousands of dollars.

Global Economy Ahead; Collapse or Expansion



My opinion about the global economy is that it will change rather than collapse. A philosophical paradigm for economics would be a better criterion for speculating about global economics for me since I am not an economist.

A Petri dish with a growth medium given bacteria tends to grow its economy of being until it consumes all the resources before collapse. Some politicians have more intelligence than some bacteria so one might expect them to have a political economic management style that is more thoughtful of the limits to certain kinds of growth.

For human economics there are extraneous factors that affect policy and practice not within the political control of a sovereign nation. That might be foreign invasion or foreign dumping of product, collapse of foreign sourced materials, competition and so forth. In a global economy there are several economic regulatory agencies with varying degrees of efficiency or lack of. That was a fundamental point I wanted to make concerning management of global economics through regulation rather than exhaustion of resources; regulation that is counterproductive, countercyclical or ineffective may be a cause or stimulus for economic well-being or failure. If regulations lead to economic collapse then reform of economic regulation follows. And if economics falter under the existing state of regulation then the regulations tend to be modified.

Economic cycles have certain courses that occur in relation to growth. Thomas Piketty wrote about the history of those in the well worth reading book Capital in the Twenty First Century. Sometimes economic managers aren’t aware of historical economic relationships perhaps and work against them, as if one was trying to build a sand castle near the water’s edge on an incoming rather than an outgoing tide.

Sometimes economic managers of regulation need to look ahead, such as building a moon base for advanced materials and technical research and support for commercial activity, yet the future isn’t a panacea for present deficiencies in economic method- only a vector of opportunity.
