If You Will, I Proffer My Thoughts on "Nothing":

False Security of Open Carry

What's more scary to me than these Open Carry Domestic Terrorists is how easily they can be disarmed. A motivated person wanting to do harm, in a matter of seconds could disarm and kill one of these unsuspecting gun nuts. 

Carrying a firearm demands the carrier have overwhelming control of their weapon. Be it the weapon is unloaded, in a case, trigger locked, rendered unable to fire,.... A concealed weapon remains in control of the carrier, at a high degree of certainty, due to the weapon's presence is not known to an untrained eye and the difficultly of taking the weapon away.

However, nonchalantly toting a weapon is, at the very least, bordering on irresponsible gun ownership, due to the degree of control over the weapon is very low. An untrained, but motivated person could easily overpower and take an openly carried weapon, from an unsuspecting, unguarded & unassuming open carrier.

How is it an open carrier can be so unsuspecting, unguarded & unassuming?  Arrogance. These people prove utter lack of awareness of the danger they pose. The open carrier wrong assumes no can mess with them, which make them ripe for conquest.

How is an open carrier erring? First of all, most of them are displaying their weapons, failing to maintain a defensive posture necessary to retain possession of their weapons. Second, it is neither an offensive posture. As with the defensive posture, an offensive posture the carrier has asserted a high degree of control over the weapon to retain possession. Finally, displaying a weapon clearly indicating a lack of awareness that mere presence of a weapon increases the likelihood someone will be shot.

Dear Media,

Do not fall into the sensationalism trap. It is a disservice to legitimate research & the American people which are due accurate & true reporting, always and without fail. Imprecise terms enable, aid & abet RWNJs conspiratorial nature. For sake of reason & country, let us sever all ties and leave them behind.

Scientific illiteracy is akin to disease, in that it inhibits productive use of our minds. The media has a duty to educate people and stamp out scientific illiteracy, but yet compel us see new possibilities and stark realities.  Alleviate society's burden of having to carry water for those who refuse knowledge.

Please understand your role in disseminating scientific knowledge. Trust in your readers' scientific literacy and understanding. Brevity shall be normalized and expected in discussions & articles of scientific research.

Embrace the Fourth Estate, endowed by our Constitution & strive to attain its truest potential. In hopes of leading us toward the betterment of humankind & that our brain's providence will carry us to attain a world befitting our unimagined possiblity.

No Mr. President, We Shall Not Validate a Racially Charged Arugment

If these people cannot proffer discourse in a discussion, their opinions are not due consideration. This is part of the problem, one of the great ills of this country.

Why is it always Liberals/Progressives/Democrats/Rationalists who must cede to the crazy & hatred of the right. As though, the more coarse and intolerant they are strengthens their argument. Where is the call for them to give consideration to rational, thoughtful and humane ideas?

When republicans choose to put on the big boy pants, only then can there be negotiations. If we cede, we condone and they win, their winning means this country loses.

Be Pro-active with Your Children's Education

Parents have a duty to providing a fundamental foundation to their children's education. Parents need an engendered sense of wanting to their children to know how to read and do basic math before their children enter school. At the very least, they should be aiming for their child being able to read and do basic math prior being sent off to school. 

Then parents need to teach their children to respect their teachers and classmates. That will cure most ills seen in the public school system. Enabling our country to have one of the best education systems in the world.

If you are unwilling to make this basic commitment, don't have children. 

Economic Stimulus & Energy Efficiency

Imagine if the government made LEED more accessible to the lower rung of the economic ladder. If say, a non-LEED home sells for $100k, but with $30k of updates the home could be LEED.

However, the home-buyer can only afford the former home. A program could be created where the government owns a slice of that home, the $30k slice. Then all new build homes could be LEED. So when the home is sold, the government would get its money back or could allow the next buyer the option of the government to retain that same slice. No need for interest charges on the $30k, as it would already be made back by increased economic activity.

Drug Disposal and Cleaner Waterways

What about a seven (7) cent tax on Prescriptions & OTC Medications to fund Clean Water? Long advised and wrongly so, Prescriptions/Medications have been flushed down toilets and/or leach out septic systems & landfills. These actions have documented negative affects on our waterways & biological creatures.

Actually, all I want is a new program, could be state ran, what do I care who's in control of it. Simply put; install collection barrels in Pharmacies for incineration of all unused Pharmaceuticals, Prescription or otherwise. Though, seven (7) cents a Script & OTC medications would fully fund it.

Part of the message sent to both Senator Brown and Senator Portman, about once per year, updated annually.

To the Filth, Disparaging the Disabled & Impaired

Take your reckless hate elsewhere.

These individuals are of the highest order, in this country or anywhere else. So what if they were born with a significant impairment be physical or mental. Just because they don't function in a way you consider ideal, does not in anyway define their character.

You want to see the best this country has to offer, step inside any special needs classroom across this country.

If perhaps, you run across an impaired individual, who is seemingly filled with hate and uncontrollable aggression, that lost soul was mostly destroyed by savage barbarians' reckless hate and abuse wholly unfit to share your Oxygen.

Sir, don't you dare make another such disparaging remark the remainder of your life.

Pope Francis: Flow the Message, Not the Man

Let this man lead you to new found inspiration, unshackling your long captive progressive passion. I am no advocate for anyone to pursue a path to the church (any church), religion, Gods, Idols nor worship, rather I feel it in your interest to dissuade you from pursuing them. Instead, embrace the message from the strongest voice willing to offer a left of center message, in generations.

Humans can fail and/or be torn apart by opposition. Allowing yourself to put 'faith' in others can leave you dispirited and dejected. Don't put your trust in him, assume he is not not going to follow through.

Encourage him to go further, take action, and beyond. Lend your support to the message.

Too Many People, Change the Tax Code!

Dear Senator Portman & Brown (each prefaced with only appropriate name)

Please fix the Tax Code, so no longer will the United States (US) Government promote its citizens breed children as if we are cattle. The US has too many people, action needs to be taken, our resources are stretching thin.

Within the next 100 years, life expectancy could exceed 150 years. The future holds an untold bounty of technological advances, in addition technology within reach of many of our lifetimes. These are not limited to: micro-scale DNA repairing robots, growing replacement organs, stem-cell organ regeneration ...

People right now need to limit themselves to having a single child, so as to have a world unburdened by unsustainable population growth rates. We need birth control, now more than ever.

So please end the deduction for children. I understand existing families with children will need to be grandfathered.

Today's Musing

#Teabaggers, you know who you are,... are a bunch of fanatical fascist fantasy driven fucknuts.

Econ. 101 Type Stuff & other Economic Musing

-Workers create wealth.

-Demand creates jobs; no demand, no jobs.

-Giving workers an ever decreasing piece of the pie, means an ever deceasing economy size. Workers spend a higher portion of their earning. The larger their share of the pie, increasing the velocity money circulates in the economy, creating more demand, which creates more jobs, businesses have greater sales, more taxes are paid, less demand for government assistance & reduces the size of discretionary expenditures.

If we did this, ended tax breaks for millionaires and billionaires, get full taxes from businesses. Stop government welfare to those same millionaires & billionaires and all of those corporations. Then finally using drones to carpet bond offshore tax-shelters. We and most other debt laden nations could eliminate most national debt within a generation or so....

Intergalactic worlds' faster than light travel tearing the Universe apart?

Did advancement of life develop faster than light travel with unintended consequences of rapidly expanding space?

If so, why didn't they stop exploration once realizing what they had done?

Did this action extend the life of the universe, or did it forever prevent the return to nothingness?


Now you know, that I know, you are out there. Please respond forthwith.

Various Rants on the United States Involvement in the Syrian Civil War

I Tweeted this earlier:

...and I picked up a new follower:

Dumbass!

Every vote a Democrat makes in favor of Bombing Syria is going to cost the Democratic Party HUGE in 2014!!!

Democrats need to heed the will of the American People. Get these so-called Democrats in-line to save the Party. If they get their way it will destroy the Party. Republicans play a better long game than Democrats, Wise Up!

Why aren't you calling for all parties in the Syrian Civil War to lay down arms. It is the only moral action the United States can take.

No more weapons given to Al-Queda, Syrian Opposition, Hezbollah, Mujahideen, Democratic Union Party and/or any other minor factions the United States is presently arming. Humanitarian aid only.

How Frequently Shall I Post?

Future Direction of this Blog

Posting everyday is too time consuming, when considering a lack of corresponding income. Then there is the lack of people reading what I write, am I right?

Upcoming topics, I am presently working:

One is a narrative on two sides to every issue (to be published this weekend);
Another is my thoughts on live MSM interviews;
Finally, the value of playing Monopoly, working on the direction I will take, so many options.

So, for now, I will post three to five times a week, mainly focusing on the weekend. 

I welcome topic suggestions/feedback. 

The Liberal Position on Syria

The US should not get involved. If you think Liberals believe otherwise, you're obviously not talking to actual Liberals.

RWNJs will also say "...but Obama..." when obviously they have no real argument, because looking at President Obama's record, he's clearly no Liberal. These RWNJs are mindless drones, incapable of thought. They're told to oppose President Obama and that is what they do. They can't coherently express why they're opposed, arguments never have anything to do with facts. It is always Obama this or that offering not the least substantive rationale for their opposition.

My position is quite similar: I believe the US should not get involved unless our nation is proposing all parties immediately and permanently lay down arms. I find it sad that this isn't even a discussion.

People are quick to say "it won't work", "that's stupid" or "you're disillusion", whatever you get the point, always responding with a non-sequitur. Never will they discuss the merit of the argument, nor will they acknowledge there would be no fighting without arms. Additionally, by not arguing everyone should lay down arms, provides for, what I consider, a legitimate argument they're complicit due to lack of calling for peace.

My First Blog

There are rules:

• Rule Number One (Which you must blindly follow and is non-negotiable): Do not agree with everything I write. 
• Rule Number Two (Which you must blindly follow and is non-negotiable): Discourse is welcome. Suggestions are welcome. Corrections to any mistake, which I am bound to make, are welcome.
• Rule Number Three: Addition Rules will be added as they are needed.

Pope Francis on the Syrian Civil War

I commend Pope Francis, for speaking out on the Syrian Civil War. A couple of his notable quotes on Sunday: 

• “May the cry for peace enter the hearts of everyone so that they may all lay down their weapons,”;
• “My heart is profoundly wounded in these days by what is happening in Syria and I am anxious about the prospect of dramatic developments,”;
•  “I condemn with particular force the use of chemical weapons. I still have in my mind and heart the terrible images of the past days,”;
• “Weapons and violence do not lead to peace, war leads to more war,”

Gun Nuts pay particular attention to that last one.

Wouldn't it be nice if could elaborate by also condemning weapons manufacturers and various other war profiteers as well?

I hope he will continue speaking regularly on the Syrian Civil War and all other ongoing armed conflicts taking place around the world, which also need to end.
