Disputing the air pollution bit - I think it was worse in England with all the coal factories. The buildings were all black and could not put luandry outside to dry.

Previous to that was that the mini-ice age of the 1500's was helped along with all the wood burning fireplaces blocking sun's warming rays.

In Hawaii - I didn't have a choice - it went to 10% - and my 1987 250cc Honda ran like CRAP. the state was trying to kill me becuase any time I tried to enter traffic - it would die. So I had to buy gas dryer & octane booster.

Now I live in Arizona and I have a choice, E-85, E-10 and 100% the good stuff. My 2000 Kia manual says not to use any E-gas.

It take more energy to make E-gas then regular gas. Making E-gas makes the cost of corn and other foods - higher. This PC E-gas thing is a sham and should stop.

Occupy is world-wide but there has been nationwide arrests in the U.S. Although no Syrian-like brutal crackdown of the Arab Spring protests - denying political public assembly may finally pry open the eyes of Amercians that freedom is only an illusion unless prepared to sacrifice for it.

What is disturbing is the 'kidnapping' of legit customers at a bank - If the bank wanted them to leave - why didn't they let them?

23 customers of Citibank allegedly found themselves under arrest after being locked in the bank at 555 La Guardia Place, New York by security guards who even forced legitimate Citibank customers going about their daily business back into the bank.

If Gov't takes the gloves off - will America react with increased violence - hardly - with the attention span of 8 seconds I doubt that this will sustain for the presidential election.... because there is no politcal leader out there for the 99%

Yes because that huge buffet was never intended to be eaten by the condemned prisoner - it's his legacy to the other prisoners who get to eat some thing good other than grits, oats or peanut butter. I guess if he touched it - the guards would've have to throw it all away.

Just put a limit on the cost as to a single serving at a good restuarant. I want sushi - ikura nigeri mmmmmmmm oh! with some cold sake! ( not the hot - tastes like urine and well, in prison - you never really know what's being served)

Does the convicted get to have a choice of method of execution? Hanging, firing squad or chemical?

That's the same as sociopath right? 1 in every 5 persoons are. I think psychopath is no longer used becuase it's not considered a disease anymore but just a human predator being a parasitic member of society?

There isn't even crickets here!

"What the fog of war" means is: war is so complex it's beyond the ability of the human mind to comprehend all the variables. Our judgment, our understanding, are not adequate. And we kill people unnecessarily." - Robert S. McNamara

sort of like the self-replicating machines that would take over the universe. ( it was in a sci-fi TV show - the one with the giant dragonfly as the spaceship)

Not all human testing is done by consent. Should useful products that were invented by non-consenting human experiements be allowed? If the product saves lives - shouldn't it be used so that those experiemented people didn't totally die in vain?

Life-Jackets are that product devised by the Nazi in the death camps. Before - the life jackets did not have the neck pillow. The Germans would put the prisoners in ice-cold water and discovered that if the back of the neck is out of the water that the prisoners lasted longer before dying.

Then there was the Amercian experiements on black prisoners that infected them with syphilis for 40 years - and yes even after the cure was discovered - the prisoners were never given the cure.

So if humans don't respect human life, I think it is quite naive to think that there were be respect of life for non-humans.

No, Hell, no. If you want to find out about the rebel leader who took over Tripoli - he has various names they are:

Abdel Hakim Belhadj, Abdelhakim Belhadj, Belhaj, Abdelhakim Al-Khoweildy, Abu Abdullah Assadaq, Abu Adullah Assadaq, Abdallah al-Sadeq, Abdel-Hakim al-Hasidi

He is the guy that the CIA handed over to Libya to be tortured for over 4 years and then was released by Al-Islam.

Hmmmmmmmmmm.

I don't really understand banking - but that is because the whole thing is incredulous in the first place. I do know that this one trick pony keeps doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results is insanity.

But they can't be that dumb so all this talk about improving the economy for the populance must all be smoke and mirrors - just like the evil death god Tezcatlipoca, "Lord of the Smoking Mirror"

Obama is a banking shill but wait - no presidential hopful is ever going to talk about the Fed - but gay marriage or some other stupid topic to fill the empty skulls of voting sheep.....

I thought that was Austrailia, the religious criminals wanted to leave GB for religious freedom such as the Puritans, who then decided that any non-Puritan was a second class citizen. Freedom to be intolarant of other people's freedoms.

"The 1790's produced some of the most tyrannical policies and apocalyptic rhetoric in American political history."

I don't think reckless speech that uses violent imagery is bad in itself, only when nut-jobs like Loughner takes it seriously....

Hard cases make bad law is an adage or legal maxim. Its meaning is that a particularly unpleasant case is a poor basis for a general law which would cover a wider range of less extreme cases.

Nothing is real, mathematically anything over infinity doesn't exist. The question is do you believe in infinity ...is infinity squared larger than a single infinity?

When it comes to celestial conjuctions - it takes a long time. It is already more than 1/2 way passed through the 1/2 a degree of conjuction already. The Long Count Calendar cycle of 13-baktun is 5125 years and is roughly 1/5th of a precessional cycle One complete cycle is finished after 25,860 years.

Check out the video that show you this.

Downvoting a person's post only hurts your score. Go ahead and try it. Notice your score, downvote me and see your score go down by 1. So downvoting has a penality and should be reserved for not a mere lousy post but a super-ignorant post.

One example that Globalization is a bankers' form of Neocolonialism is the Somalia Starvation & the IMF connection:

The recurrent famines " of the 1980s and 1990s are in large part the consequence of IMF-World Bank "economic medicine"."

IMF-imposed economic policies " that emphasise cash crops for export, to generate funds to pay off loans owed the West instead of food crops"

IMF & World Bank " saddled the third world countries with debts that were in some cases many times the size of their GDP."

And for those who display tactical ignorance regarding why would creating a failed state is profitable:

... nearly two-thirds of Somalia " was allocated to the American oil giants Conoco, Amoco, Chevron and Phillips in the final years before Somalia's pro-U.S. President was overthrown and plunged into chaos .. In 1969, a post-colonial government was formed [and] significant social progress was achieved. .. Ten years of IMF SAP & Somalia spiraled into ... chaos from recurrent "austerity measures" imposed by Washington consensus."

I have a hummingbird feeder where hummingbirds fight over each other all day every day - even though it's an everlasting gob-stopper sugar water. But can't change the hummingbirds' behavior that has worked for eons in the high desert.

Same with humanoids, still have emotional and btw - brain size is not the deciding organ for humaness.

Future human evolution

Homo neanderthalensis coexisted with Homo sapiens, who eventually crowded out the Neanderthals because, "Genocide is one way to better the chances of your own group over competing groups. It is not enough to succeed. Others must fail."
