Corporate Greed and Politics

What with all the greed and corruption in the government in the last 10 years, I've decided to post this info for those of you fed up with all the lie's!

Spred the word and  disseminate  this   information Everywhere! It is not being reported well in mainstream media If at all !!!. Also please cross post this blog on -- your blogs,  Facebook, Twitter , and all of your contacts. Cross-post and blog this information  everywhere!
  
With knowledge comes power and with that power comes control and a responsibility to make this country great again!

You can choose to be  a dimwitted and mindless sheep by  listen to the GOP and there big business puppet masters,  constant lies  and propaganda  over on Fox news, or you can make the intelligent  choice by making  yourself aware of  the facts and agendas of our so called leaders, Democrat and Republican alike..... it's simple really if your congressman looks out for big business over the interests of average working man or woman, then it's time to kick them to the curb!

No more millionaire  blue blood royalty controlling congress year after year, No more Unlimited campaign backing by big  business leading to corrupt corporate  control of our elected officials, " and i use that term loosely "  No more rich getting richer off the backs of the poor and middle class well simultaneously   bankrupting our  country, No more lobbyist influences in congress!!

Behind every great fortune, there's a greater heist!  It's the  rich that run this country and have driven it into the ground!  We now have  two needless war's and an unimaginable  amount of tax payer money wasted not to mention the ten's of  thousands of lives lost, both solder and civilian!  All of this unnecessary pain and suffering  based off of  the lies told by The Bush Administration!  The same lies that continue to be  embraced by far to many members of congress, primarily the GOP, though there are fools on both sides!

Make no mistake you are nothing to them but  a potential  voter, someone  to lie too come the next election, you are nothing but a number in the ballot !

Congress vote themselves a  pay raise  " ON THE TAX PAYER'S  DIME "   while  at the  same time denying an increase on living wages for people on social security or disability, ( money that they have payed into there entire working lives) Then try to lower minimum wage and increase the retirement age, Let them live on minimum wage  and actually work for a living for a year and see how fun it is!! unfortunately  that will never happen!

The rich get richer and the poor suffer! The rich start wars and the poor die!

When they want you to buy something they'll tell you, when they want you to say something they'll let you  know, and when they want you to die  in there next war they'll come and get you!!

Be an individual, make your own decisions, and create a better future for the next generation.

It's time to take back control of our country and make it the way it was always meant to be!!!......( A country by the People, for the People, and of the People,  )

No more  buying an Election!!!  No more corporate  Manipulation!!

Make them accountable for there actions!!!
 
It's your choice!

Net Neutrality

No one should have the right to tell someone what they may or may not do online, If we loose yet another right to big Business whats next? Internet belongs to the people more so then the large corporations, The majority of there lines and towers that provide internet service sit on public land, internet service should be provided equally and without higher bills or degraded service at the order of large telecome or the ISP's!!  A free and open internet  gives us a way to make our voices heard, and allows us to meet and interact with people from all over the world! Through blogging, vlogging, webcast or other wise, we are able  to connect with others and share our experience's and views on politics, environmental and social events and many more. Without strong rules that can actually be enforced we would be in danger of losing one of the greatest tool's the public has  for self expression as well as a way to exercise our freedom of speech. Strong Net Neutrality should be a permanent Law, after all what good is free speech if it can be blocked or edited at any time!

The Internet

The Internet

Internet rights!

A free and open internet is the only way to go, internet equality should apply to all forms of access landlines and wireless, The Internet belongs to everyone, not just large corporations!

The rights of the people should take precedent over the greed of corporations and special interests. big telecoms would like nothing more then to inspect and filter the Internet content we access, block web sites and applications they don't like, and overcharge us even more so then the already do for using the internet.

Net neutrality opponents inaccurately claim that strong rules will impede competition by regulating the Internet for the first time. This is completely untrue. Net neutrality simply protect the rights of the people and the free Internet that Americans have always enjoyed.

The internet should be reclassified as a title 2 utility and fully enforced by the FCC net neutrality already has the backing of the president, congressional leadership, " the one's with common scenes anyway " and most importantly, millions and millions of Internet users through out the country!

We as paying costumers and free thinking individuals should have the right to decide what we watch read or post online, and when we do it!

Not the ISP's....keep in mind that without the use of public land to lay there cables and build there tower's company's such as AT&T, Comcast and Verizon would not exist, or at the very least they would not enjoy the kind of power and profit they have today, all at the peoples expense!

It's time the politicians start siding with the voter's the one's that put them into office in the first place! instead of the lobbyists and spacial interest groups, who are only interested in the bottom line!

Many network providers have tried to engage in content and user discrimination in the recent past and that will only grow without strong Net Neutrality or with weakened partial Net Neutrality, as Chairman Genachowski in visions. A few examples, ( Time Warner's AOL ) blocked all emails that mentioned www.dearaol.com, an advocacy campaign opposing AOL's pay-to-send e-mail scheme, a pathetic ploy to garner even more hard earned money from the consumers! BellSouth blocked access to Myspace.com in Tennessee and Florida. Verizon Wireless has blocked access to PayPal in favor of its own competing online payment service for shopping sites like eBay.

Without FCC authority to fully enforce stronger net neutrality rules, we may be forced to rely on the good judgment "or lack there of " of large corporations to protect our access to the internet and the diversity of political, social, environmental, and international interaction and perspectives it now offer's.

We would be forced to trust companies like Comcast, which actively
and secretly interfered with users' ability to access popular video, photo
and music sharing applications; AT&T, which censored anti-Bush comments made by Pearl Jam's lead singer during a concert; and Verizon Wireless, which
interfered with NARAL Pro-Choice America's ability to send text messages to
its members.

We need to preserve our right's at all cost's.

We can't let the corporate lobbyists and there political goon squad dictate what we can and can not do!. After all what good is free speech if large corporations have the right to stifle communications they find objectionable?


Reclassification is necessary to enshrine key anti-discrimination provisions so that users can access the websites of their choice and use the equipment they want without interference or degraded service. Chairman Genachowski's plan is a good start, but it has to be expanded to include reclassification, as well as protections for wireless Internet user's True net neutrality would mean no discrimination: It would prevent ISP's from speeding up, slowing down or outright blocking web sits or content based on its source, ownership or destination. It's time to make net neutrality a permanent law!

The Metamorphosis........

The Metamorphosis

A short story written by Franz Kafka, In 1915.

Kafka, who after his death in 1924 later become a world renown novelist, for his work in the early 20th century.

Kafka wrote many great works of literature, one of which is The Metamorphosis.

I first read this back in school, but have since re-read it lol.

Still an interesting read!....................

Here is a short summerier of what i took from the book.

The Metamorphosis is centered around a man, Gregor Samsa, who as a result of all the pressure's in his life, slowly begins to transform into an insect.

There are probably dozens if not hundreds of different philosophical or metaphorical metaphors we can take from this, and in part most of them would probably be correct on some level or another.

Here's my interpretation.

In the book, I fill that Kafka is trying to say, that even though we look at the world in different way's, people's lives aren't always what they seem and nobody can really tell what anyone else is felling on the inside.

Fill free to share your thoughts on the story....

Just a quick Thought....

Just a quick Thought....

Most people go through life wandering aimlessly about trying to figure out what there future hold in store...... Others believe that destiny plays a hand in the out come, but if you think of life as some how predetermined by destiny then that takes away from the entire concept of free will!!

Life has no real meaning or purpose, only that which we as individuals choose to give it, we create our own purpose, and our existence is defined by the personal choices we make throughout our lives, and how those choices in turn effect the people around us.

Just a though....

Philosophy?

Emergent property is a term used in philosophy, but what exactly is an emergent property? and How dose it relate to the way we function not only as individuals but humanity as a whole?

I see the definition of emergent property being more individual, it is not something that you can just label as this or that, it's more,...... it's something that you experience and since we all experience the world around us in our own different way....the definition of an emergent property can have as many different meanings as there are people on this planet...

Emergent Property's can manifest themselves in people as well as nature.

For Instances i fill as though emergent property can in some ways be a good representation of our everyday lives. By that i mean there can be so many things that at the time appear to be nothing more then just random happening's but are still some how more then often connected to the bigger picture for example, The last time i was in Austin i went to check out this large colony of bats one of the largest in the country, It was an awesome experience. When you see all of these bat's literally thousands of them winding their way through the sky each one individually flying in a seemingly random pattern and yet still some how the same general direction as part of a larger entity. It's really an amazing sight. This also reminds me of people in a way, everyone of use living our lives as an individual with our own hopes, dreams, and goals that we wish to achieve someday and yet all to often forgetting that we to are part of a larger entity.....The human race and that even our most seemingly unimportant and insignificant tasks as an individual can have a profound effect on not only our lives and the lives of the people around us but also the rest of the world as a whole.

The study of the patterns in the stars as well as those in nature could also be thought of too some extent as an emergent property.


Some people may even consider our very consciousness as somewhat of an emergent property of the brain, in a way that makes sense. If anything history has shown us that human imagination, creativity and ingenuity is ever changing, we have put people in space, on the surface of the moon and to the farthest corners of the earth all based on collective ideas and in the pursuit of knowledge.

If consciousness is an emergent property of the brain then the evolution of the human race must be the result of this property working effectively.

However a chain is only as strong as it's weakest link. The same goes for people....

The collective IQ of any large group of people is that of it's lowest member.

I.E...Mob mentality from the days of angry villagers wielding pitchforks and torches to modern day riots,. Even the most intelligent person in a group can succumb to there most basic primal instincts if pushed far enough, just as a seemingly intelligent person can be convinced to try drugs or alcohol when under pressure from there pears.

Dose an individual in a mob have anymore free will then a bee in a swarm.... you decide.

I would like to think that if i where ever immersed in a mob mentality that my reaction would be that of a rational person....so that i could take a step beck from the brick or pipe and then intelligently assess the situation properly, and if enough people could do this then the mob itself would have no power unfortunately it would seem that whenever a large group of people gather for whatever reason there is almost always disorder and dissension this trend seems to occur even when supposedly highly educated and intelligent people meet for symposiums, conferences, and congress for that matter!

Maybe that's just human nature....

Perhaps it is the emergent patterns of humanity as a whole that really enable us to identify those among us with the greatest potential. It is the people who defy the patterns and the trends that tend to stand out from the crowd. In the past this process has sometimes made them pariahs, however in the long run it has always been the people who defy the status qua who make the biggest impact.

Knowledge and the written word....

Knowledge and the written word....

The written word .........

Knowledge can manifest it self in many different forms from Art, Science, Music, Philosophy and many other examples ...... but one of the most abundant is through expression of the written word.


Writing can be an amazing tool for self expression if used properly or it can be used to spread lies and slander..............guess it just depends on the person doing the writing.

However i still believe the written word is truly an amazing creation. From its earliest conception in ancient Sumaria to the modern day it has continued with a steady evolution throughout history, ever furthering our knowledge of one another and the world around us. It is truly astounding how far we've come. Currently it is estimated that there are at least 6,912 different languages spoken throughout the world. However there is no real way of actually knowing how many there really is because there's so many different variations on the same words and some times the same words can even have different meanings depending on on what language your specking and what region of the world your in. There are also hundreds if not thousands of dead languages throughout history that most modern writing and spoken language evolved from.

Though it is still a widely debated subject of "who was the first to develop the written word"... Most people still credit the Sumerians for it's creation. there where stone tablets discovered that date back to about 3,500BC this tablets pre-date cuneiform The Sumerians also invented pictured hieroglyphs / pictographs this hieroglyphs where the basis for what later became cuneiform, Cuneiform is the earliest recorded form of written language dating back to about 3000BCE.
(Unless you count the cave paintings that depict the every day lives and history of ancient man created by the caveman, technically its still a written language.)

The written word is a truly amazing creation. Allowing us to not only document our thoughts and ideas and communicate and share our creations and our creative thoughts with not only one another but the entire world, and weather you use this tool for something productive like creating music, poetry or great literature, or decide to use it for something shameful like spreading lies and slander its your choice. It could also be interpreted as an interesting representation of our personality's.

As far as the evolution of writing , I think it's amazing how far we've actually come as a species.

From the times of ancient man carving hieroglyphs into the walls of structures and on small clay tablets thousands of years ago where only a small group of people would ever see it. To the modern day where we now have the ability through the Internet a truly phenomenal tool for creating and sharing our thoughts, ideas, and vast amounts of knowledge with the entire word with little more the the touch of a button or the click of a mouse..........

Art.....

Art.....

Conventional Art, Modern, Cubism, Abstract, Expressionism......

There are many other different styles of art besides the ones listed above, but What is art really?....

The simple fact is that art is one of the most basic and fundamental forms of human expression as well as one of the oldest. From primitive paintings on the walls of ancient caves to the work of the modern masters of today. through the century's and the millennium it has changed in form and style may times but the one thing that remains the same is the basic human need to express our creativity and find a way to preserve our work for future generations.

Art is a product of the human mind both simple and complex.

Art like beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Because there is no right or wrong way to express your creativity. Art can be anything from the simplest crayon or pencil drawing to the most elaborate and detailed painting or sculptor, as long as your happy with the way it turns out in the end, then your work is a success.

Kick Ass

Kick Ass

Kick Ass....



Just finished watching the new movie Kick Ass for the second time.



It was an an awesome film!!



A lot of people seem to be complaining about the violence and use of foul language, but some how seem to neglect the fact that the movie itself is rated R for violence and language....simple solution if your easily offended by such things then just go to a different movie, no one is forcing you to see it, also if you would not like your kids to see violence in a movie, (Good luck with that ) then simply do not take them to an R rated film....."Not that there isn't violence in every genera of film, at least to some extent"..............That being said there's a lot more violence on television and video games these days then then there use to be, so chances are your kids have already seen worse then whats depicted in this movie.



The best action scenes in this movie involve the  hero's Hit-Girl, and  Big Daddy.



When all is said and done the move was pretty good, there is some foul language and mild violence but probably nothing you haven't heard or seen before lol..............

Kick Ass follows the comic to an extent though they did change a few things, but if you were a fan of the comic before, then you probably shouldn't have to many issues with the film.



and if you've just seen the movie go buy the comic ^_^



Anyway i liked the movie, and i would recommend it.

Also looking forward to the sequel!!!!!!!!

War or Peace?

War or Peace?

War or Peace?????

Regardless of the reasons or how you choose to justify it, war is wrong, violence only leads to more violence..

Human history is filled with conflict, one fight end's and another begins, often times as the end result of sheer greed or a lust for power......

America has been engaged in a costly war for the better part of a decade now,... costly both in human life and national funds.

Our last president was a self centered, egotistical, ass, dead set on going to war, even making preparation's for the invasion months in advance, before seeking a U,N resolution! He falsely believed he had the absolute authority to do whatever he wanted..... regardless of the facts!!!!

Now U.S. Gen. Stanley McChrystal is calling for a large increase in U.S. troops fighting in Afghanistan an additional 40,000 or possible 80,00 more troops on the ground...........

Currently it is estimated that there will be at least 104,000 U.S and NATO troops in Afghanistan by the end of this year and at least two thirds will be American.

With thousands of American and allied troops already injured or dead, and thousands if not tens of thousand's of innocent Iraq and Afghanistan civilians needlessly killed, wouldn't it be far better to start pulling out troops instead of increasing there number's????

After nearly a decade of senseless death, It's time to put an end to Bush's war and bring our troops home!!

In a few short week's President Obama will announce his decision on General McChrystal's war strategy, and whether or not there will be any significant escalation of our troops in Afghanistan.

But now you can have a say in the President's final decision by telling the house representative's to support Rep. Lee's bill HR 3699 witch prohibits the increase in U.S, troops,.....and Rep. McGovern's bill HR 2404 witch calls for a long awaited military exit strategy from Afghanistan.

Too get in touch with your representative call the switchboard at 202-225-3121 and you will be transferred to your rep or senator's office.

For more info on this matter including a complete list of Rep's. and senator's,......and to help put an end to this war check out this site.

Through violence, you may "solve" one problem, but you sow the seeds for another.

Apollo11.....40 years later

Apollo11.....40 years later

As long as mankind has existed there has always been within the confines of or minds, a deep seeded need for exploration.

Is there more to the world then what we see? What lies beyond the next horizon?

Hundreds of years ago mankind believed that the world was flat, and when someone would stand alongside the seashore watching a ship sailing away they assumed that if it went far enough , it would simply sail right over the edge of the world. they came to this conclusion after witnessing a ship sailing beyond the horizon and out of sight.

and yet the need for exploration continued.

Explorer's spent their lives traveling the glob over mountains, forest, deserts, and even beyond the vast reaches of the ocean, in pursuit of something new, something no one else had ever seen before.

Finally after hundreds of years of exploration it seemed that the last great unexplored frontier remaining was space.

At some point in there life, everyone who has ever looked up at the stars at night has wondered what it would be like to step foot on the surface of another planet.
at the end of the second world war there was a technological boom, computers were getting faster and faster with every passing year.

Then on October 4th 1957 something happened that triggered suspicion and speculation from around the world.

It was the launch of Sputnik, the Soviet Union's first low altitude satellite. At the time many believed this to be some kind of new weapon, keep in mind this was during the cold war and world tensions were pretty high.

The United States and Soviet Russia were the two great power at the time and it was the launch of Sputnik that triggered the space race with both countries vowing to be the first to put a man in space.

In 1961 came president John F Kennedy's historic speech to congress and the united nations, were he stated.........

"I believe that this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to the Earth"

Then on July 16th 1969 Apollo 11 was launched,this was the third maned mission to the Moon.

On July 20th 1969 commander Neil Armstrong and pilot Edwin "Buzz" Alden, became the first humans to step foot on the surface of another planet.....It was at this time Neil said those iconic words...

"That's one small step for man and one giant leap for mankind"

With the completion of the Apollo 11 mission, president Kennedy had keeped his promise of putting a man on the Moon by the end of the 1960's.

Back in the 1960's many people believed that by the year 2000 we would be living in space, in part that notion is correct, because there are a hand full of people living on the international space station right now.


It was the public's fascination with space travel that led to the popularity of shows like The Jetsons, Star Trek and Lost in Space.

Now here we are in 2009, exactly 40 years to the day, since the first maned trip to the surface of the moon.


and well civilian space travel dose exist short of being a millionaire, the average person will never get the chance to experience a trip to space.

and short of a revolutionary discovery in the creation of a sustainable zero point energy generator it doesn't look like were going to be seeing a personal flying car anytime soon either.....bummer i would love to own a flying car!!!

But all and all 40 years of space exploration is an extraordinary achievement,.....i wonder what the next 40 years will bring???

Wall-E......

Wall-E......

Robot's in Italy.......

Here is a real life Wall-E on the streets of Italy,.......Well kind of.

This robot is bigger and not quite as agile as it's movie counterpart.

But unlike Wall-E, This robot is real and may be traveling down a street in your neighbourhood someday soon,......Maybe.

The robot is called a DustBot, and it's job is to collect trash and sort through the garbage and separate the organic, recyclables, and waste.

It also has an on board sensor that measures air pollution, sulfur dioxide, ozone, nitrogen oxide....etc.

It can be called to a location with a cell phone and go door to door. to collect trash.

DustBot is electric powered and energy efficient.

It's part of a 3.9 million dollar research program and if successful, could end up saveing thousands of dollars in revenue and hundreds of gallons of gasoline annually.

At the moment its reaction time is too slow for it to operate in a large traffic area, but hopefully in a few years they will have all the bugs worked out.

and these robots will be put to work.

Wolves......

Wolves......

Wolves.....

Hard to believe its summer time already.

It fells as if this year is going by way too fast.

Normally summer vacation should be a time to have some fun with your family and friends, Go on a trip or just hang out....whatever works for you. lol.

Unfortunately this summer marks a turning point for our country's national parks.

Because of recent changes in the law it is now legal to carry loaded gun's in the parks....in my opinion this is a very foolish thing to allow sure they say there are measures in place to prevent accidents. but there is all way room for errors in even the most well thought out plans.

The only thing this new law has accomplished is putting innocent tourists and locals in danger, because some gun toting fool fills its necessary to pack a gun in a national park....pathetic

This foolish law also makes it easier for poachers to start illegally hunting animals in protected areas.
poaching has been going on for a long time anyway but with this new law passed, It's just opening the gate to an even bigger problem.

On top of all that we still have a hand full of low life extremists like Idaho Governor C.L Butch Otter, Idaho's Ant-Wolf Coalitions Ron Gillette and Alaska's Governor Sara Palin who would like nothing more then to see wolves dead. and unfortunately if they get there way it will mean certain death for dozens if not hundreds of wolves in the Yellowstone area and the greater Northern Rocky Mountains region..... not even wolf pups will be speared in the coming slaughter.

Palin an avid enthusiast of aerial hunting....a practice that has been illegal since 1972, not to mention a sickening and barbaric sport... and i use that term loosely. (Since hunting in it self is not actually a sport per say but rather just the slaughter of unsuspecting animals.) Aerial hunting begins when one or more of the hunter's board a small plain and circle the area well the rest of them go into the woods and scare/chase the frightened animals out into the open, at which point the hunters in the plain "being the avid sportsmen that they are" begin shooting at the terrified animals usually hitting them in the back or gut and then proceed onward to kill even more innocent animals well leaving the already injured one's to suffer a slow and painful death. At one point Palin was even offering a bounty of $100 dollars for the hind leg of a wolf as prof of its death. Within a few days of legalising this cruel sport at least 66 wolves were killed.

Now the Alaskan Governor is taking things even further by approving the use of snares traps and lethal poisonous gas's in an attempt to kill even more wolves not just one or two but an entire pack pup's and all.

Help tell the Governor and her dimwitted followers that enough is enough.

go to the site below and "Sign this petition." to help try and put an end to this stupidity.

Save the Tongass National Forest.

Save the Tongass National Forest.

The Tongass National Forest.

For decades now the logging industry has been doing untold ecological damage to the environment by over logging and clear cutting entire forests.

Now the Tongass Nation Forest our nations largest national forest and one of the oldest large growth forests in the world is coming under attack again by the logging industry one company imperticular the Sealaska Native Corporation. This company is going directly to congress in an underhanded attempt to transfer even more public land to private control in order to clear cut the forest and further there own greed.

Not only dose this undermine the efforts of the local conservation groups but if the logging company gets there way they will destroy not only a large portion of this pristine forest but they will also be responsible for the devastation of the homes and habitats to hundreds of spices of animals.

The Tongass is a vast wilderness area  with large camping areas, caves, lakes, glaciers, hiking areas, and amazing views.

We can't afford to lose even more of our valuable public land to the greed of large cooperation's

Call or write to your senators and tell congress not to allow even more environmental devastation to our public lands and national parks.
