Well here is a list of 61 of our senators who think it's okay to put YOU in prison without any warrant, or charges for as long as they like. They had the vote today.

He was posting a sarcastic play on an old quote by Theodosious whatever his name was. I believe he was taking a quote from a religious minded biologist and turning it into a humorous but atheistic quote about astronomy.
I was pulling his leg and recognizing his play on words - unless he was just trying to rile up some religious types on a Sunday, in which case I was using textual judo on him to rile him up....
In either case - it was all in good fun and I'm sure no offense was meant by either of us...

Some people think I've being needlessly dramatic when I've said that America is on the verge of becoming a fascist police state.

For those people, and for others Interested in not going further down that Orwellian road, there's an interesting bill coming up in the Senate next week.

1031 and 1032 in S.1253, the National Defense Authorization Act.

If enacted, sections 1031 and 1032 of the NDAA would:

1) Explicitly authorize the federal government to indefinitely imprison without charge or trial American citizens and others picked up inside and outside the United States;

(2) Mandate military detention of some civilians who would otherwise be outside of military control, including civilians picked up within the United States itself; and

(3) Transfer to the Department of Defence core prosecutorial, investigative, law enforcement, penal, and custodial authority and responsibility now held by the Department of Justice.

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) explained that the bill will “basically say in law for the first time that the homeland is part of the battlefield”

What a charming phrase. and since when did America become the fucking homeland, homeland this and homeland that, it's not the fucking homeland, it's America, the "Homeland" is a name that could be directly transplanted into 1984 without a pause. Rule of thumb, everyone who talks about the homeland is a fascist in waiting.

If you want to attempt to do something about this bill, then you can try https://secure.aclu.org/site/Advocacy?cmd=display&page=UserAction&id=3865&s_subsrc=fixNDAA , maybe someone will give a shit.

As for me, a friend gave me Civilisation 3 and I've been playing that the last week or so, some ways to change the world are easier than others unfortunately.

Good luck America.

I'd like to give thanks to the delightful group of people who come through my neighborhood and distribute hot Thanksgiving meals to all of the seniors, people who are alone and the poor. Actually, they give the meals to everybody and ask you to pass it on if you don't need it yourself. I guess religious people can do good things too. Strangest part - they didn't give out any flyers or try to get me to join anything.
Do any of our photographers have any thoughts or experience with shooting auras ?

Auras are not just bright and colorful -- they are also our assurance of good physical, emotional, and psychological health. Recent medical studies have shown that distant healing plays a significant role in people's health, even when they have a life-threatening disease like AIDS, or are undergoing medical treatment for heart disease. Clearly, humans are able to influence each others' health long-distance through prayer.

Occupy Wall Street activists vow protests will persist. Yesterday New York City police in riot gear evicted hundreds and razed the city of tents where some in the group had been living for close to two months. The Occupy Wall Street movement seeks to highlight income inequality and has inspired hundreds of similar protests around the country and the world. Most have been small and some have been marred by violence, but participants claim, despite evictions in New York and elsewhere, it’s an idea that will continue to gather momentum: Join us for a conversation on what the Occupy movement has accomplished and its future.

You know what I'm tired of? Videos of US citizens with pepper spray dripping off their faces, screaming and clawing at their eyes in agony, while publicly-funded police in riot gear club these traitors civilians into submission.

I kinda hope you're tired of that too. If you are, go check out this link. It shows how to make a very simple face shield out of nothing more than a two liter bottle of soda, scissors, and a shoelace. It won't help much against tear gas, but I'll have some DIY help with that problem shortly.

In the mean time, go drink some soda. For America.

You know what I'm tired of? Just when a perfectly good protest is really starting to heat up, some joker in riot gear fires off a few canisters of tear gas - and it ruins the visibility. How can the revolution be televised if we are constantly forced to squint through the fog of ignorance war? And of course, it's awfully hard on the eyes, nose and lungs of the dirty peacenik hippies protesters.

I hope you're tired of this as well. The solution? Cheap, do-it-yourself gas masks! If everyone has a gas mask, only criminals will use tear gas, amiright? There are some great instructions linked below - or, if you followed my instructions on how to make a face shield out of a two liter pop bottle, you can now re-use the top of the bottle as follows:

1. With the lid still screwed on, stuff a few cotton balls into the narrow neck of the 2L pop bottle. It should look like a funnel.
2. Place 4-6 charcoal briquettes into a small sock. Tie off the open end of the sock.
3. Crush the briquettes inside the sock with a hammer, rock, shoe, or a handy copy of the Bill of Rights.
4. Jam the charcoal-filled sock on top of the cotton balls.
5. With a nail, punch two holes on opposite sides of the funnel-shaped pop bottle top.
6. Thread a shoelace through the holes and tie a knot on one end to keep it in place.
7. When attacked by tear gas, wet the contents of the funnel with water, unscrew the lid, and place over mouth and nose. The better it seals, the more protection it gives. Pull the shoelace tight to make a comfortable fit.
8. Defend liberty with clear eyes, nose, lungs and heart.

By JEFFREY D. SACHS - "Twice before in American history, powerful corporate interests dominated Washington and brought America to a state of unacceptable inequality, instability and corruption. Both times a social and political movement arose to restore democracy and shared prosperity. The first age of inequality was the Gilded Age at the end of the 19th century, an era quite like today, when both political parties served the interests of the corporate robber barons [..] The second gilded age was the Roaring Twenties [..] F.D.R.’s New Deal marked the start of several decades of reduced income inequality, strong trade unions, steep top tax rates and strict financial regulation. After 1981, Reagan began to dismantle each of these core features of the New Deal. Following our recent financial calamity, a third progressive era is likely to be in the making. "

What is possibilianism?

Possibilianism is a philosophy which rejects both the idiosyncratic claims of traditional theism and the positions of certainty in atheism in favor of a middle, exploratory ground. The term was first defined by neuroscientist David Eagleman in relation to his book of fiction Sum. Asked whether he was an atheist or a religious person on a National Public Radio interview in February, 2009, he replied "I call myself a Possibilian: I'm open to ideas that we don't have any way of testing right now." In a subsequent interview with the New York Times, Eagleman expanded on the definition:

"Our ignorance of the cosmos is too vast to commit to atheism, and yet we know too much to commit to a particular religion. A third position, agnosticism, is often an uninteresting stance in which a person simply questions whether his traditional religious story (say, a man with a beard on a cloud) is true or not true. But with Possibilianism I'm hoping to define a new position -- one that emphasizes the exploration of new, unconsidered possibilities. Possibilianism is comfortable holding multiple ideas in mind; it is not interested in committing to any particular story."
An adherent of possibilianism is called a possibilian. The possibilian perspective is distinguished from agnosticism in that it consists of an active exploration of novel possibilities and an emphasis on the necessity of holding multiple positions at once if there is no available data to privilege one over the others. Possibilianism reflects the scientific temperament of creativity, testing, and tolerance for multiple ideas.

Computer Programmer Joke

A wife asks her husband, a computer programmer, “Would you please go to the store for me and buy a carton of milk? And if they have eggs, get six.”

A short time later the husband comes back with 6 cartons of milk.

The wife asks him, “Why the hell did you buy 6 cartons of milk?”

He replied, “They had eggs.”

Quick petition to help out Occupy Tulsa.

If you would like to help Occupy Tulsa get off to a smooth start please take a moment to sign this petition. The petition asks that Occupy Tulsa be allowed to peacefully assemble downtown without insurance, permits and curfews.

The Tulsa Occupation officially started yesterday and it's gone smoothly so far. I plan on checking it out and taking some photos in the next couple of days.

I didn't "share" this because the streaming meanie who posted it started a thread filled with hate and lies. It seems that some people believe that we should run over people - that violence and attempting to kill someone is perfectly ok.

St Isidore of Seville


St Isidore of Seville
Patron Saint of the Internet



St Isidore was the Archbishop of Seville ca. 601, succeeding his brother to the position. He was a teacher, founder, and reformer. He was a prolific writer whose works include a dictionary, an encyclopedia, a history of Goths, and a history of the world beginning with creation. He completed the Mozarabic liturgy which is still in use in Toledo, Spain and presided at the Second Council of Seville, and the Fourth Council of Toledo. He also introduced the works of Aristotle to Spain. He was proclaimed Doctor of the Church by Pope Benedict XIV in 1722, and became the leading candidate for patron of computer users and the Internet in 1999.

Myron Floren (November 5, 1919 – July 23, 2005) was an American musician best known as the accordionist on The Lawrence Welk Show between 1950 and 1982. Myron Floren came to prominence primarily from his regular appearances on the weekly Lawrence Welk Show, where Lawrence often referred to him as the happy Norwegian.

In the comments on the original post David Brin said.

"Re Heinlein: Summary. read Beyond This Horizon (ignoring the silly gun stuff he wrote for Campbell.) Heinlein could clearly see: Competition is the great driver of creativity in nature and society and individuals. It is the thing that libertarianism should be about preserving... in creative realms. Like art or enterprise.

But competition depends on maximizing the number of skilled, knowing, confident competitors! Hayek and Adam Smith proclaimed this, demanding public education & health. So did Heinlein, who wanted total socialism in ensuring all kids - children - are cared for and educated and prepared to then be competitive adults. Any hungry kid who has to go to the emergency room for a problem that could have been prevented earlier is a devastating indictment of the Randian madness that has taken over libertarianism.

Heinlein despised it.

Any movement that fundamentally believes in the creative power of competition, but lets itself be talked into defending oligarchy, is just too dumb to live."

And I can't help but concur, if you want to read a real libertarian author, read Heinlein, maybe we could start a project to surreptitiously remove the dust jacket from Atlas Shrugged in school libraries and put it on one of the better Heinlein novels instead, so adolescent boys directed to read that turgid crap that seems to last through their twenties for to many, might instead get their libertarian start with a real Author and a real libertarian.

Why are you throwing in your lot with the religious right in their quest to keep people stupid libertarians? Food, housing, healthcare, education .. the start that everyone should have so they can lift themselves up by their bootstraps, because you can't bloody lift yourself by your bootstraps when your face is being ground into the dirt.

===================================

David Brin originally shared this post.

Heinlein was a libertarian. All creative matters should be competitive! Butin his prescriptive utopia BEYOND THIS HORIZON - "Of course food is free!" The most basic needs (food, simple shelter & a chance to self-uplift) aren't left to "charity" or whim (as they were in 6000 years of failure).For moral reasons AND in to maximize the number of savvy competitors (the liberal/libertarian overlap). A society that won't provide the basics is unworthy of the name"civilization." Says Heinlein!
