Filibusters, Senator Frist and the Eco-Nihilists

Filibusters, Illegal Immigrants and Eco-Nihilism Gary C Gibson - 11:52am May 20, 2005 EDT (#89 of 91)
Cars are America's sacred cows grazing on borders of inventions until obese...force fed with antibiotics in feed lots when on R & R

I just rode a bus from Santa Fe to Denver, perhaps 20 possible illegals got on at Santa Fe...they were going to Philadelphia via New York. If one has directions or help to Santa Fe they have avoided INS inspections the remainder of the way to wherever they would go. Illegals definitely displace legal workers in many ways, and of course have the criminal advantage that law abiding people don't. When so many illegals flock over the border as they like the complete complex of political compresence for the law abiding is subverted, and an organized crime ethos at the top is supported as a method of doing politics.

The economic effects of illegal migration would be debated according to one's intelligence and economic class. Perhaps more work would be located in Latino nations and the optimal exploitation of trans-border labor would decrease briefly, maybe environmental protection would increase. possibly leadership would emerge that values environmentalism very highly and supports tax credits for air/wind power generation. Plainly the mountain states could have a competition to install hundreds of thousands of very large air generators along highways to power electric cars so they don't need to rely just on batteries or fuel cells. Incidentally if electric go-carts were used in major urban areas part of the day or year many more people could drive the same highways to work...

I suspect that the consequence would tend toward the de-peonization of U.S. political determinism, instead of it's increase amidst the neo-corporatist trans-nationalist that will mock U.S. alternative fuels and life-quality increase based on environmentalism, high tech and social justice.

The issue is complex, ye allowing a foreign Mexican and Latino culture to grow in the U.S. doesn't support a melting pot, instead it supports a schism and conflict line culturally. If a just immigration policy existed that would serve the U.S.A., it would select from the entire planetary population and bring it into the U.S.A. instead of just one Latino culture that has a separate and growing antipathetic (?) culture with it's own values that differ quite a lot from that of traditional American values. Instead of a melting pot to U.S. values the U.S. is being slowly grafted onto the western hemispheric majority Latino culture to its own destruction. The economic incentives for various neo-corporatists and the acquiescent slippage into accomplice/employees of some undereducated peoples in Latin America make the process irresistible to some of what I call the eco-nihilist movement. ...

Senator Frist and the Extremist Eco-Nihilist Right

I should note that I’m not writing this to go into a book five of historical and philosophical essays in the ‘Waveform Politics’ series, I am just concerned about some recent political events, and would also suggest that the Federal Government purchase several thousand copies of my book of poems ‘A Place for Faith’ and distribute it to all inmates at GITMO, The Saudi Embassy personnel, and to the troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. Now to the point…

Senator Frist’s selection of the ‘nukulars option’ to put down flibusterin and pat down his fellows for concealed weapons of environmental conservation with a flair of twitting the citizenry will do more than surgically cut the throat of political opposition ton the nominations of Pres. G.W. with the skill of Jack the Ripper; it provides an example of the disposable ethos of the extremist neo-corporatist eco-nihilist movement playing like Darth Vader’s metamorphosis at an environmental theatre near you.

For physicians extremism in pursuit of a patient’s health is no vice, yek when extremism is applied to ‘curing’ a body politick of political pluralism a sociopathic Rubicon is crossed in which personal egoism and blind allegiance to trans-national corporatist political will takes place. Instead of receiving a pure ‘cure’ the congress is being emasculated with the orchiectomy procedure of filibuster removal.

Sen. Frist is taking the filibuster into his operating room and providing an example of the disposable ethics of quick and dirty profits in the non-renewable ethos of votaries of mammon as the summun bonum. Slaves, tobacco, oil, servitude of women and children, neutering of debate to allow extremist to appoint federal judges-all right reason is cast aside in the coup d'etat sliding into the swamp of neo-corporatism with the millions of anti-democratic, anti-individual free enterprise, anti-intellectual, anti-democratic minions following along in the path of the big elephant run amuck on the fuel of foreign oil as if it were a narcotic; An elephant under the influence of wild drugs crashes through a lot of sensible and conservative public policy.

Extremist environmental nihilism is a sort of polar opposite of rational environmental conservatism. The eco-nihilists are motivated solely by money and power. The French writer Stendahl first noticed the corrupt axiology in his 1836 novel ‘The Red and the Black’ For the mill workers and local corrupt leadership of the commune living in a beautiful foothills of the mountain valley with wild rivers and forests, beautiful sunsets and so forth the environment had value only as ‘it would bring in money’; that is only as the environmental health and aesthetics could be sold or exchanged for cash (which provides good interiors) did it have value. President Bush is a leader of the eco-nihilist movement. He has thrown open protected federal forests to the evil chain saw massacres of plundering loggers harvesting old growth for example, yet compared to the flatlands of Dallas and the corrupted Texas shoreline ecosystem it is no big deal to him perhaps. It is only the shag carpets and political power and feel good products the valuta has that matters to eco-nihilists.

Eco-nihilists have the advantage in the Toynbean criterion of challenge-response in leading the destructive path to which remedialists and ‘environmentalists’ must respond. Like Goofy or Minnie mouse in Gooffyland with a limitless cornucopia of choice and plenty, eco-nihilists believe that the Earth has a limitless capacity to recover from their abuse, so far as they think at all. Eco-nihilists have tremendous influence on public policy and annihilate the wild health of millions and million of acres of habitat –and don’t define that as extreme. Neither do they describe wars for resources that could have been supplanted by intelligent alternative fuels and synthetics as extreme even when hundreds or thousands of people are killed through wars in the conflicts. With the F.B.I. as a convenient organ of support for eco-nihilism in the release timing of it’s recent report as it coincides with the eco-nihilist assault on the venerable filibuster to block extremism from becoming a dictatorship of neo-corporatist or other forms of authoritarianism, a Tiber has been crossed that puts the sword of eco-death at the throat of the Senate.

Micro-dimensional 'scuppers' and the Bottomless Pit

Not being a physicist, my wording of these questions will have parameter inconsistencies with standard physic’s contexts I should think-yet I will write these several ideas anyway. Essentially I had an interest in why it is that particles become increasingly heavy as they approach the speed of light, and infinitely heavy at light speed thus barring more acceleration. What is it that would be added to, for instance, a hydrogen atom that was subject to an accelerating force?

Then of course considering string and M-Theory artifacts that have filtered down to the general public, I wondered if the criterion that could provide answers to my question might not be a dimension protocol that affected particles and waves.

Salvador Dali painted an interesting conceptual picture named ‘The Persistence of Memory’ that had a scuppers as one might have found in a British lifeboat at the bottom of a landscape over which was draped upon a branch a melting down clock; memory perhaps would drain off in time into the scuppers. Are the micro sub-Planck length theoretical dimensions posited in M-Theory just artificial ‘scuppers’ that contain particles too small to be measured in the standard four dimensions? Are the smaller dimensions simply artificial concepts developed to explain a difficult concept such as Einstein used to explain how gravity worked upon all objects or particles (except anti-gravity) within a gravitational field equally when he compared the effects to ‘curved’ space-time?

Of course there is ‘real’ substance to the smaller dimensions in that larger particles or possibly waves too cannot enter into them. That is large particles and waves are not small particles and waves and cannot ‘run’ with them anymore than a giant basketball player could fit through the wing window of a Porsche. Very small sub-plank length strings have a realm of ‘behavior’ so small that only they can exist in that context.

Yet why is it that particles accelerated to the speed of light become infinitely heavy? Could it be compared to that Porsche that if traveling a low speed or no speed parked in a lot won’t get traffic tickets, but if it goes faster and faster it will be given tons of traffic tickets becoming heavier? Is it that as a four-dimensional realm particle travels at faster toward the speed of light it’s string base traveling the in the micro extra dimensions is collecting more baggage or tickets at an accelerating pace that become infinite toward the speed of light?

Or is it that as it passes through more of the super-string ‘scuppers’/dimensions at a faster pace it’s grounding or base becomes associated nearly simultaneously with more of the micro dimensions and it becomes mass of ‘infinite weight’ comparable perhaps too a magnetized object that increases it’s realm of contact to an infinite field?

Could the fact of mass be a phenomenal association of existent four-dimensional waveforms with aspects of the micro-dimensions that are ‘stickier’ than those of energy? Is energy and are photons travel at light speed and that have nearly no mass as waveforms or string vibrations transparent to the micro-dimensional fields of superstring theory because of phenomenal characteristics of waveforms or particles accelerated into acting as waves in space-time?

I will nearly leave off these questions here, with the comment that in part I wondered about the infinite weight characteristic and interesting points in common between black hole singularity as their infinite weight and mass and those of very small particles that acquire infinite mass accelerated to the speed of light. Also, the beast that ascends out of the bottomless pit that is mentioned in the Biblical book of the Revelation is referred to somewhere perhaps in chapter 18 as that which was, and is not, yet is (I seem to recollect). That ‘bottomless pit’ could perhaps be a reference to the infinite curvature of space time at a black hole, and it’s possibilities of time travel with the paradoxes generated thereof.

Could gravity intruding into the standard four dimensions yet mostly iceberging below the surface as a characteristic of the micro-dimensions then be a quality or aspect of the micro-dimensions or particles themselves that seem to warp or fold space time most directly?

The way that quantum superpositioning acts to have particle/waves at all probably worldlines or places in the Universe that are selected probabilistically to collapse when measured in the Heisenberg uncertainty context seems another interesting aspect or phenomenality of the relationship of space-time, gravity and waveforms to their configuration in the very small realm of superstring waveforms and branes posited by superstring and m-theory.

The cumulative effects or phenomenal appearances of particle waves, mass and probabilistic existence as well as travel of photons perhaps as continuously sampled massless or nearly massless probability phenomena arising in relation to sub-micro dimensional protocol provides much food for thought-and of course the interesting notion of the beast that would lurk one day in a n infinite quantum gravity pit-maybe.

Of Democracy U.S. and Periclean

GaryCGibson - 12:57pm Apr 25, 2005 EDT (#23 of 25)"By faith we understand that the worlds have been framed by the word of God, so that what is seen hath not been made out of things which appear."-Hebrews 11:3

The late historian Will Durant wrote an interesting book named “Heroes of History’ at about age 94 that was published in 2001. The many sketches of individuals and their affect on various time periods is good reading. ‘The Road to Pericles’ and ‘The Golden Age of Athens’ brought out some points that one might consider useful to the management of national (U.S.) political alterity today. Yet before I mention that a bit more, a brief summary of aspects of interactive dynamics between the Republican and Democratic Parties at the national leadership level since 1992.

Democratic leaders first seem to have an attitude toward the Presidency such as that they need not be outspoken during the campaign for the office articulating clear and plain platforms and planks that would better the nation in real time. Instead the Democratic contenders seem to act as if they need merely be engineers of a locomotive that they can operate as they choose if elected. Their campaign rhetoric tends to be more bureaucratic and vague or even generic. It is amazing how far the lack of national democratic leadership goes even between elections. They could not talk meaningfully about economic, border control, alternative energy and transport systems and such if they wanted to it seems. Then some such as Senator Kennedy and Biden run toward falsehood and error in their analysis of selected political ontologies. Senator Biden is an egoist, while Senator Kennedy is atop a pile of old money that tries to comprehend what might be in the nation’s interests rather inaccurately. The famous feminine troika of Boxer, Feinstein and Clinton are not outspoken and plain either; they too would like to be in the engine compartment rather than then caboose however.

The Republican Party understands that democratic trend toward over-reliance on the federal government as the primary political object as a Democratic Party policy characteristic. They use it to their advantage. The Democrats may labor while in office for years to reduce national debt and perhaps make executive change that benefit their special interests, and of course put much effort into innovating social legislation into new federalist forms unsuccessfully.

What the Democrats build up in budget surpluses the Republicans can spend in a year or two and pile on more federal debt to break the back of what they consider as trends toward socialism and economic stagnation. They can also undo environmental legislation easily that requires years of expensive remediation later. Republicans can legislatively overturn the Democratic socialist measures that were invested in the federal government, and claim a return to privatization while dumping debt on taxpayers while the wealth is transferred to special military industrial trans-national corporations.

Democrats make a fundamental political error of failing to be outspoken in public policy planning with concrete and actualizable plans, instead emphasizing in bureaucratic vagueness retrospective attacks on hypothetical international policy courses, domination of what were classically considered ethically wrong planks that even were described as immoral. They want to be the engineers of the locomotive, even as Republicans seek to stop funding for AMTRAK.

Democrats should return to sound economic policy and planning that emphasizes private sector support. Instead of seeking to foist a vast left-wing socialist medical bureaucracy on the U.S.A. Democrats could seek to support low-cost public health screening and survey imaging and chemical analysis technology that would let people screen their own health for a few dollars. There is also a way to set up a worker’s comp like referral program that would let physicians treat patients for free in exchange for federal liability/malpractice insurance coverage. Once physicians got a hold of this program, congress would be unlikely to be able to overturn it. Each patient treated would be screened and given a rating that physicians could use as a standard value-unit for malpractice insurance coverage value.

Once physicians got a hold of this program, congress would be unlikely to be able to overturn it. Each patient treated would be screened and given a rating value for the quantity of coverage such as worker’s comp rates injuries and compensation levels. Private sector medical coverage would continue and Medicare’s burden would be reduced coefficiently. Medicare would continue to exist and be modified I would suppose with the regular legislative tinkering.

In Athens a citizen named Solon was given responsibility for finding ways to bridge the gap between rich and poor that threatened to bring the nation into civil war. Solon and Pericles each believed that public indifference or aloofness from the political process was one of the main dangers to democracy. That problem is presently effect the overly foreign and trans-nationally lobbied U.S. Congress and Presidency. The interests of trans-national corporations have risen to dominate U.S. economic development.

Solon rectified the Athenian tax code with a flat tax for four different economic classes: The first class paid 12 percent, the second class 10 percent, the third class 5 percent and the fourth class nothing. That was a good policy. If implemented in the U.S.A. today without deductions it might improve things, if the U.S. Government ever paid off the national debt and ran a surplus it might give rebates. At least the fourth class citizens would be spared from filing an annual tax form, and would instead need only to file a statement that they did not have gross earnings in excess of the fourth class/third class boundary amount. IRS workers would have fewer papers to process.

Propertied citizens in the reformed Athenian Government that Cleisthenes continued to form in 501 BC, were required to serve for a year after reaching age 30 on the 501 Council. The 501 Council was the highest political authority. If citizens were compelled to make political decisions they would not be aloof about them. In the U.S.A. Today I would suggest that each year one million citizens might be selected at random to vote on perhaps 100 Congressional legislative measures after their passage and before the President receives them to sign as a referendum to determine what the public really thinks, if only they new, about the work of the Congress. The Congress could voluntarily establish the policy and if the referendum vetoes the bill Congress could work on another one or another version. Each bill would be subject to just one referendum. Citizens would participate more closely in their democracy that is becoming overly outsourced to rich foreign and trans-national corporations.***If Democrats in the White House invested more structure in the private sector and in making public infrastructure changes that cannot be immediately unraveled or closed down by incoming Republicans their policies would have a more salutary and cost effective effect I should think.

Taking an alternative energy and transport paradigm for example. In the first term a Democratic administration could place power lines in the interstates of 7 southwest states intended to allow electric power to directly be drawn by electric vehicles. A vast infrastructure of independent power supply and sales to the interstate grid would probably develop with air generators, solar voltaics and fuel cells becoming sold from home producers to the grid. Air generators in the Rocky Mountains could provide wind generated electricity to wind-poor states burning toxic gas. Electric autos might be able to reduce the 40 to 50,000 annual fatalities caused by fossil fueled vehicles because of their sensitivity to chip controlling coordination in traffic.

Democrats will not be able to make sound public policy implementations that will last longer than a snowball in Hades without renewing the national infrastricture and controlling illegal immighration into the U.S.A. Trans-nationalists seem to have learned how to manipulate and subdue the Democratic/Federal spending cycles rather well. Personally I am not an optimist at present on the prospects for a return to Democratic effectivness at the national level. They are bought off to easily in too many ways traiding there inheritance for a mess of pottage ethically speaking.

The homosexual initiatives in Massachusets probably sapped Senator Kerry's election chances because of that State's ethical reputation amidst many heterosexual voters. Democrats musn't let themselves be shut out further from the highest office because of a mistaken notion of what liberalism is.At Leuctra in 371 BC a Theban army and dedicated 300 homos defeated a Spartan Army to end Sparta's dominance of Greece. Evidently homos can fight effectively as special units. The Democrats should address that issue realistically today instead of letting it continue as a stumbling block.

The don't ask don't tell policy works; when that policy isn't effective and homos demand open enlistment perhaps it could work if they are in segregated military units as are men and women today. Soldiers don't want to have to worry about being targets of unusual sexual interests as well as the enemy.***Men and women marry to share genes in progeny as well as to protect the rights of individuals joined together. They always have a biological bond with their children. Inn homocouples only one parent can share genes.

Of course the parameters of marriage and many mass institutions aren't perfect, but are generalities. Yet as homo's seek to camoflage their nature by appropriating heterosexual institutions, they damage and harm those institutions. Women are not men and vice versa; a nerw scientific American article has a report on some of the physiological differences. Two of the same sex do not have the same sexual and social relations as two of different sexes...really.

Homos can arrange private and standardized contracts to create a communal property situation or a partnership that divides possessions in a fair split upon end of contract. It does not require an assault upon marriage for civil legal arrangements to create contracts. Insurers can also offer homocouple policies without federal coercion.

Even the other main ethical issue vexing Democratic electiblity-abortion...may need to be outsourced in some way, perhaps with a Christian recognition that individuals are more accountable for their own relationship to Jesus Christ than for what pagan fellow citizens do to terminate pregnancies. The unborn certainly should have legal rights to exist, but in the meantime the judiciary cannot substitue for a paucity of legislative creativity, and abortion shouldn't be the issue that prevents a reformation of national energy, transport and financial infrastructure.

Fossil fuel sales to China will increase because it fuels transnational business growth and profits in China while levering drilling in ANWR, gutting of environmental laws and increases profits from a shortened national feul supply. Alt. Energy infrastructure reform is needed.

About a National I.D. Card

''GaryCGibson - 03:15pm Apr 21, 2005 EDT (#116 of 117)"By faith we understand that the worlds have been framed by the word of God, so that what is seen hath not been made out of things which appear."-Hebrews 11:3''

I consider myself a liberal that hasn't gone over to the vinegar of debauchery, so I'll post a general opinion on the I.D. card quagmire.

A national ID card as an issue only arises because of the federal incompetence at controlling the borders from illegal immigration. When people generally arrived in the U.S.A. legally except for some seasonal migrant farm workers, no ID was required at all to get a job in the U.S.A.

Recently I finally got a replacement ID card after a year without. It's first use was to be stopped beyond that oil refinery in Artesia New Mexico to be given the sixth degree by three policemen about why I took a photo of the ugly, deficit producing (for the nation) oil refinery-such changes followed because of incompetent federal border management.

Of course the federal response to waves of illegal immigrants is to promulgate some silly paper solution that would cost millions and millions to implement, perhaps fueling the micro economic black holes federal budget managers are trying to produce with a super-colliding deficit conductor beneath the Washington mint.

The ID plan is like the billions and billions spent on airport security by the federal government and evaluated as ineffective and providing no more security than before the pork flowed to fuel the micro-black hole. Real control is beyond the government's grasp, and they could not return to a nation by the people and for the people, instead of a nation for trans-nationals and volkerwandering migrants from wherever, even if they could read good speeches with teleprompter before friendly lunch crowds.

Micro Black Holes, Particle Accelerators

Micro Black Holes, Particle Accelerators and EMG Mass Drivers...

Gary C Gibson. - 12:17pm Apr 21, 2005 EDT (#8 of 8) II Timothy 4 "3For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear."

Since the fiscal fiasco attempting to build a super-conducting super-collider in Texas, physics gurus have had more time to develop additional theories about quantum mechanics. A recent idea is the possibility of creating short-lived micro-sized black holes with existing particle accelerators in order to observe the effects they have on other particles as they deteriorate.

It is an interesting notion of course. Black holes are supposed to be the longest lasting large-scale and presently recognizable features of the Universe in some distant future of 1000 times a trillion trillion trillion years or so, until they have leaked out all of their mass through radiation in the Hawking process.

Page 114 of 'The Five Ages of the Universe' mentioned the point that there are three basic sorts of black holes; there are the ones of modest size resulting from collapsed stars, there are the ones at the center of galaxies that grow very large even to the size of 4 AU (astronomical units), and there are very small ones of fewer than a hundredth of a millimeter in size left that were theoretically created along with much else in the earliest micro-seconds of the Creation. It is that sort of Black Hole that some physicists hope to create on Earth. Will they inadvertently preempt the apocalypse in doing so?

Of course scientists have assured that creating micro-black holes will be entirely safe. It does seem that some factors that weren't understood properly in quantum and string or M-Theory might give the pit bulls of the quantum world an opportunity to bite and devour the comparatively trivial mass of the Earth in a heartbeat as they revert to form consistent with their character.

Some of this exciting physical research might be better put off for a few years until a more advanced manned space program permits the construction of 'safe' research facilities. For the black hole production and research facility I'd suggest the Martian moon

Why Phobos? Because it's fairly small and if consumed loss of mass would not immediately destroy the Earth nor perhaps Mars. Additionally Phobos has very, very low gravity (one can easily hop around it in miles long bounds) and is very cold. The low temperature of Phobos would make the installation of low-temperature super-conducting lines very cheap. Phobos also has enough size to support a good sized accelerator with a modified configuration.

The federal government really does need to invest in the development of an Earth to high orbit mass driver in order to expedite space access quantitatively. Electro-magnetic accelerators have been advocated for decades, and perhaps even a hundred years by forward thinking philosophers of space travel.

Robert Goddard, experimenting with rockets in Roswell New Mexico in the 1930's, had long before proposed federal funding for an electro-magnetic subway from New York to Boston--I'm sure he had space-travel ulterior motives.

The lunar landing and evacuation module was able to lift off from the moon with such a small rocket propellant supply because lunar gravity is just a sixth of the Earth's. The moon is a very good location for assembling future manned space missions with easy return to the Earth. The primary obstruction and cost difficulty is the lack of a high-quantity mass driver to boost modules from Earth to high orbit. The federal government has built SDI 'rail guns' that proved the feasibility; a mass driver need be larger and accelerate more slowly over several miles. Overcoming the few seconds of atmospheric friction can also be overcome-perhaps by a leading dummy module taking the brunt of the heat.

One should work for the future with faith, and perhaps a book of poetry...

The Sacred and the Profane

Gary C Gibson - 07:58pm Apr 20, 2005 EDT (#125 of 126)All places in space are equidistant from infinity.

McGee said regarding the definition of evil based on the Bible, that it is those categories of things that are bad, such as tornado's that lift an Arkansas home to DC, or the recent tsunami, or an incompetent mechanic making emergency repairs and the wheels fall off in a hairpin turn at a cliff edge high in the Andes subsequently etc. That is evil is those bad and calamitous events that simply occur with or without the intention by anyone of causing evil.

What people believe is meant by the word evil in the Old Testament is better covered by the word wicked. Wicked people intentionally do things to cause evil to other people or their interests.God is an eternal Being. God is aetemporal and unsubject to time (except when Jesus was incarnate as a human being). Proton decay of the degenerate and into the dark era of the extrapolated future universe is supposed to take a trillion trillion trillion years to accomplish. Yet that isn't supposed to be the end of theoretical physics ideas about the Universal life span of the cosmos. The eternal isn't just the temporal going on forever, it is non-temporal to begin with; of another nature altogether.

Physicists today in the broad parameters of describing the future (and past) of the Universe aren't really leaving things to chance. Einstein said that God doesn't play dice with the Universe and he was right. Although quantum mechanics has definite uncertainty, the Universe nonetheless is predetermined physically if not theologically. God can bring about a phase shift at any time and shut done the Universe and implement the judgment of the quick and the dead parameters outlined in the Bible.

Of course many moderns want to corrupt the meaning of the Bible sufficiently to accommodate all secular depravity that has commercial value. Monetary power and political economy make a conquest of the ecclesiastic logical goals. Even the Catholic Church in centuries past has been subject to gross fiduciary corruption as well as incursions of immorality in the Catholic Priesthood. Top descend into that abyss of wickedness would perhaps require another reformation to correct, if it is still possible, and if the beast isn't at the head of the structure requiring a mark on the forehead for business transactions, to have a good job or housing, etc.

Maybe the broadcast media will be the tool for the devil to use as a spirit of the air seeking to accomplish absolute power on Earth. Yet that sort of speculation isn't as interesting as the content of the book 'The Five Ages of the Universe'. It is amazing though that while the Earth spins and people phenomenally exist that they do not take life more seriously, and of course do their very utmost to be good citizens, neighbors, fellowmen and inventors.

That cosmology book speculated that their may be 3000 civilizations in this galaxy, yet perhaps none have had a chance to achieve meaningful space flight.

Civilized life on Earth has only recently appeared in cosmic history, the Earth is one-third the age of the Universe and it took life two and a half billion years to appear in God's plan. Here at the edge of the habitable zone of the Galaxy humanity really is in a precarious situation...so many evils could halt life. Yet God assured that it will continue after a fashion until Jesus returns whenever.

Tom Delay/george Washington & Partial Dentures

Tom Delay and George Washington have at least one substantial dissimilarity; George Washington invented a form of dentures while Rep. Delay did not (thus far). George Washington was a brilliant ethical example for his peers of course. His concern for his fellow citizen’s well being, and for the defense of liberty extended so far as to volunteer at high risk to himself his services in defense against trans-national tyranny over U.S. national interests.

In the present era millions of Americans may suffer from an inability to afford partial dentures. One without enough teeth to easily bite down on food, instead using gum surfaces unintended for the task may ask themselves; what can be done to alleviate the situation immediately without spending the hundreds or thousands of dollars needed for regular partial or complete dentures? Do the members of congress ever ask themselves that question? Do they instead ponder how to erect another vast bureaucracy to provide national partial denture insurance with funds borrowed from the Chinese or Indians?

What may serve to engineer a solution to the problem that has existed even before George Washington could have fished for salmon in the Potomac River is a return to the inspiration of football melt-to-fit teeth guards.

A temporary denture that may be fit by a purchaser with a cost of fewer than five dollars from any store including Wal-Mart, should be composed of two different malleable materials that will change composition mildly when boiled briefly in water.

Initially each set of temporary partial dentures would have a full compliment of plastic teeth. Each set would have a set of instruction and a little map of the arrangement of teeth in a mouth with molars, incisors etc. indicated. The purchaser would compare his teeth (if any) to the chart and detach or punch out teeth from the temporary dentures matching up with the teeth he actually has thus making way in the denture for his own teeth to fit through.

The temporary denture would be malleable in all dimensions before boiling. In could be shaped to fit the actual tooth line of the purchaser. Additionally the depth of the denture toward the back of the mouth could be adjusted before boiling with snap off sections. The two material composition would allow for a softer gum contact with a harder tooth surface replica. Before boiling the teeth could be moved down in size naturally as the purchaser puts the upper and or lower partial in his/her mouth and bites down to get a natural fit before boiling. After boiling the replica teeth would harden, while the gum contact surface would only mildly change.

These temporary dentures are primarily for the task of eating food. They could all be molar shaped if that’s all that could be engineered within a few weeks or months, and get that job done. They are not mainly for aesthetic purposes or a substitute for regular long-lasting dentures. It may be possible however to develop tooth surfaces that have an appearance similar to those of natural teeth perhaps.

When even some Halloween fake teeth can be purchased for costume parties and such, for a dollar or two, it seems reasonable that a somewhat better quality temporary partial denture could be produced for purchase rather quickly and perhaps produced by the millions in some Chinese factory or Chicago Illinois. If I am the inventor of this probably familiar idea, I suggest the grateful manufacturer send a gratuity to me on a disposable VISA style card that can be purchased and used as easily as phone cards are purchased in stores. Those cards can stand some improvement. There should be no waiting period but they should be ready for immediate use with activation and name registration. There should be no fees either beyond the initial purchase price.

Creating a surfeit of partial dentures for fewer that five dollars per set without federal funding would be a good way to show that Congress still encourages the health and prosperity of the nation, instead of simply being functionaries of trans-national corporations. Tome Delay could chew on that idea perhaps and implement a movement toward public spiritedness and phenomenal well-being of the masses on the positive sum for everyone principle that should motivate legislators.
