As Barack Obama and henchman Rahm Emanuel makes another pitch for the tax payer dollar by convincing us all is well American’s continue to lose jobs and homes. Clearly the people to have benefited from these bail-outs and give-a-ways were members of the House of Representatives and Congress. Both sides of the isle were enriched and their retirement accounts secured regardless of the rhetoric the Dems and Reps spewed to the public. With the main stream media owned part and parcel by the very corporations pining for a One World Order we got a sugar frosted “crap sandwich” generations in the future will be paying off. Democracy has already past into history since the voice of the people has been placed on ignore as the Constitution becomes nothing more than a piece of paper.
The one thing both the Democratic and Republican parties have done was systematically divide the people then conquer a nation from within. The reality of how deeply invested our so called politicians were in all t

When Atlas Shrugs: The Great Default

Gary North for LewRockwell.com
Our children
are not going to pay off the suckers " us " who naïvely
thought they could pass on the Old Maid of government debt to them.
Here is economic
reality. Taxpayers and Treasury debt buyers are paying for all of
the benefits that voters enjoy as recipients of government-funded
programs. Voters are not transferring these costs to future generations.
Costs are inescapably the same as benefits. If we receive present
benefits, someone pays for these benefits in the present. The only
questions are these: Who Wins? Who loses? How soon?
Economists
despair about their inability to get across this simple idea: we
consume only present goods.
Economics
students nod their heads in agreement with the professor. "Yes,
yes; we know that." But they don't know it. As soon a

Plastic Gorilla Feet Give You Twinkle Toes
Traction is incredibly good, due to the grippy material, the separation of the toes,
and the addition of siping, or tiny zigzag cuts etched into the soles that expand into little treads as the sole flexes.
The VFFs are also surprisingly comfortable. Each toe is snuggled
inside its own little pocket, which is not only cozy, it also gives
your feet a surprising amount of feedback about the ground you're
standing on. Your toes, freed from their typical leather prisons, act
like a tiny topography sensor array.

Future of Newspapers: Profitless? Go Wireless
07-22-2009
•
Wired
It's undeniable that the going rate for information on the internet
is "free." That's meant big trouble for newspapers, which have seen
nearly all of their traditional roles usurped by better, faster, free
online services over the past few years. If a newspaper doesn't make
its content available gratis on the Web, it's irrelevant. If it does,
it's got nothing left to sell but fishwrap and inkstains.
The Wall Street Journal's publisher Les Hinton has called
Google a "digital vampire," but even his paper, one of the last
holdouts of subscription-based online content, has made its articles'
full text accessible via Google searches. Using free content as bait
for paying customers doesn't work for newspapers. And the revenue from
internet advertising is less a stream than a dribble " nowhere near
enough to support a robust paper (or paperless paper) on its own.

Robo-Ethicists Want to Revamp Asimov’s 3 Laws
07-22-2009
•
Wired
For years, science fiction author Issac Asimov’s Three Laws of
Robotics were regarded as sufficient for robotics enthusiasts. The
laws, as first laid out in the short story “Runaround,”
were simple: A robot may not injure a human being or allow one to come
to harm; a robot must obey orders given by human beings; and a robot
must protect its own existence. Each of the laws takes precedence over
the ones following it, so that under Asimov’s rules, a robot cannot be
ordered to kill a human, and it must obey orders even if that would
result in its own destruction.
But as robots have become more sophisticated and more integrated
into human lives, Asimov’s laws are just too simplistic, says Chien
Hsun Chen, coauthor of a paper published in the International Journal of Social Robotics
last month. The paper has sparked off a discussion among robot experts
who say it is time for humans to get to work on these ethical dilemmas.

Calif. budget deal would free 27,000 prisoners
07-22-2009
•
RawStory.com
A proposed plan to solve California’s budget crisis would reduce the
state’s prison population by 27,000, it was reported Tuesday, as
opposition to the new fiscal deal mounted.
The Los Angeles Times reported
that the budget deal, announced by California Governor Arnold
Schwarzenegger and bipartisan lawmakers on Monday, would involve the
early release of thousands of inmates.
The Times said the reduction would be achieved through a combination
of measures including allowing prisoners to finish their sentences on
home detention and creating incentives for completion of drug
rehabilitation plans.

In the meantime the phrase ‘Strategic Nuclear Weapons’ is an oxymoron when the only plausible posture is stalemate and no realistic tactical option except mutual suicide. We have ourselves fought in Korea, Vietnam and Iraq making full use of conventional force. Of what consequence was possession of nuclear weapons in the conduct of these wars?

Geothermal Declared Most Efficient Alternative

Geothermal energy is the most efficient renewable energy alternative and is improving the fastest. Wind energy is second.
+ Fossil fuel technologies are no longer improving (in terms of efficiency) much - if at all. These technologies have likely reached their performance limits, though the government still spends far more on them.
+ Geothermal energy could become cheaper than fossil fuels with R and D spending of as little as $3.3 billion.

'Get out of war free' card

Worldnet Daily
While numerous attempts to clarify the historical record have been successfully fought by the administration's lawyers, the issue became much more serious when Maj. Stefan Cook, a U.S. Army reservist with deployment orders to Afghanistan, filed a lawsuit regarding his questions about the legality of a deployment order based on the command of a potentially illegitimate commander in chief. But rather than contesting the suit, the Army took the highly peculiar step of revoking the major's deployment order, suggesting that the Pentagon generals are not entirely confident that they can demonstrate the legitimacy of their purported commander in chief......
