    This is why it is flashing red light and loud siren critical that we blanket the US with breeder reactors. Fossil fuels are only ever going to get scarcer and scarcer. Breeder reactors are the only tech that could replace fossil fuels. Thanks Jimmy Carter!

    I was diagnosed with stage IV colon cancer. Several times. Only the doctors couldn't make up their minds, so I went to an applied kinesiology chiropractor who also treats with homeopathy. Now my lungs, (the metastasis site), have magically started to heal. I watched the guy work, and he might as well been using chicken bones for all I could tell. But the results are incredible. So, the next time you get "incurable" cancer, (that's what they told me), go ahead and get poisoned to death. I'll take the voodoo any damn day!

    But I'm not done. The chiro told me to monitor my condition with MRI. Try to do it. The allopathic profession, despite the best intentions of thousands of very hard-working people, is nothing much but a money machine for the health insurance industry and big pharma. That people sometimes get positive outcomes is merely collateral benefit and opportunistic PR. The only exceptions are the cases of gross physical trauma - car wrecks and the like. Then sure, the allopaths are winners. But for disease? I don't see it any more.

    You completely ignore the reality of our monetary system. A monetary system such as ours, (and now almost every other nation on earth), that imposes a credit based currency DEMANDS that the majority of actors add debt at an ever increasing rate. You talk about "people stop lending you money" as though such people are only the virtuous cutting off the profligate from their debased ways. For a fact, these "people" who lend money are the most rapacious criminals in the entire history of humanity. Get a fucking clue!

  6. Re:Breathless summary by the clueless on Texas GOP Educational Platform Opposes Teaching Critical Thinking Skills · · Score: 1

    Why the fuck can't we ever go beyond arguing about global warming, and get on with building the infrastructure that will allow us to replace fossil fuels? Whether fossil fuels cause global warming or not, they are only going to get scarcer as time passes, and that means that we will all be poorer. AND less able to build the replacement infrastructure. I think it is undeniable though that any sincere consideration of the question can come to only one conclusion: for the foreseeable future the only way to replace fossil fuels is with nuclear fission, especially breeder reactors.

    What's wrong with the "challengeable scientific theories subject to change as new data is produced" part? I thought that was one of, if not the most central tenet of the scientific method, i.e. ideas are to be regarded as theories which are to be continually challenged and improved by incorporating new data. I understand that the intent is to deny evolution and consideration of the effects of burning fossil fuels on the planet's climate, but the way it is stated seems harmless enough.

    The correct answer is a little more complicated than that. The debts don't get paid back, they get canceled - they are all debts of made up money anyway. Then banks are precluded from loaning any money that is not owned by them. Finally, because the first two by themselves will produce deflation, the government periodically provides each citizen with a certain amount of new cash, said amount to be determined by that period's acorn harvest. My sig has a link to the original version of this genius.

    Everything you say is marvelously true, but you need to close the circle: Banks control our monetary system, as currently framed, and it is through this control hat they exert their malign influence. With this understanding it becomes clear that changing the monetary system is the place to start constructive reform. But to what? Gold? NO! We never had a rigorous commodity backed system and for good reason: they add a tremendous overhead to every operation. So, enter Social Credit. All the good parts of capitalism without all the corruption and rent-seeking.

    See, the idea is that you take the welfare, and then find a black or gray market occupation to get you to survival level. Once that starts to work for you, you are trapped, because if you try to leave there is no way to account for your last x years to a prospective legit employer. That means that the only jobs that are available are ones that pay worse than you hustle plus welfare, and who will take that deal?

    You live in a fantasy world. There is no practical way to implement your needs based approach. How do you prove who is "able to work" and who is not? Beside that you have obviously never really thought through what your real goals are. If all adults worked 40 hours per week, we'd be buried alive in over-production. So clearly we don't want that. But that demands the question: What DO we want? Before you start spouting your opinions on policy, shouldn't you answer that question first????

    Wow, a lot of hate there for a relatively innocuous remark. Did you have issues with kids teasing you for being stupid?

    Anyway, what you cops fail to realize is that you are just as much victims of an out of control government as the rest of us. People hate you for enforcing arbitrary and unjust laws designed solely to feed the prison-industrial complex. That makes your lives miserable and your jobs unrewarding. Instead of getting universal respect for your bravery in being the front line against violent psychopaths, you are hated.

    The sad part is that if you and your brother cops took a stand against stupid laws, you would be listened to. The public would respond and demand changes, but you don't raise your voices. Your union leadership panders to the management class of law enforcement, and sells you out.

    Or... Or, maybe I am a naive chump, and you guys are just a bunch of passive-agressive sadists in uniform. Which is it? Your call...
