All of these "tidal energy" stations have ir-reversibly changed the ocean currents. Ocean currents are a major factor in weather patterns. Changing weather patterns are causing general alarm. Fear mongers use the alarm to blame new weather patterns on fossil fuel use. Mis-guided governments are increasing the use of tidal energy stations. But more tidal energy stations are causing more ocean current stagnation. Which in turn increases more different weather patterns.
I've done that AI thing too. When you get your arm in up to the elbow, first the cow decides to sit down. When you get past that, and stick the "french gun" (accidentally) into her bladder, she responds by hopping the back feet around, almost stepping on your feet, meanwhile she is pissing a few gallons of hot urine straight onto your body. If she settles down, and you get your hand onto the vagina, and the gun into the 7" long cervix. Then rectal tract starts squeezing it feels like that cow is standing on your forearm. Then the rectal muscles squeeze out a fountain of bright green.... Which of course fills both your sleeve, and the pockets of you cover-alls. And here in sunny CA, it's 90F and your arm is in 105F cow, and you've been pissed on, shit upon, probabally kick, butted, pinched into a bar of the squeeze, stabbed through the fingers with a syringe of cow vaccine, rope burned, struggled to get a downer back on her feet before she get paralysis. But it's still better than an IT job, even a UNIX sys-admin, I'd go back in a heart-beat. But it does not really pay the bills.
Yes, but consider the next election smear aginst her. (In the caring mother smarter than you soft sobbing voice, with the backdrop of a black and white scene of the State Capital Park a field of mini caskets covered with flowers, surrounded by crying young women dressed in black.)... Gregory refused to pass laws to protect our innocent children aginst drugged drivers. She un-caringly slapped weeping mothers in the face with her veto of Senate Bill 666, which caring mothers overwhelmingly need to heal the pain of their children killed by drugged drivers. It's time for a politician with the guts to stand up and protect our children.
Of course you and I are screaming at the TV... We have laws for that, we don't need new ones.
On a personal level, we have gang violence like drive-by shootings, muggings, armed robbery, thrill-killing, killing of people because they are in a neighbourhood with the wrong skin pigmentation, domestic and foreign terrorism,
There is one over riding fact many people don't know about... "The vast majority of those killed in the US, are killed by people they know". In other words, gang violence is mainly between gangsters. The accidental victims are usually family members of the gangsters. Domestic violence is between domestic partners.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government,
Right about that... How would she handle MADD (Mothers Aginst Drunk Drivers) crying in front of a dozen TV cameras? Let alone a few thousand fake caskets (of CA murder victims) parked on the State Capitol lawn.
BS about the subsidy. Tax Subsidys are merely tax rebates. They only occur on grain, not
Of course grass fed beef is cheaper than finished. Grass and Grain feed costs about the same by nutrient value. But the feeding costs for self feeding range cattle are half, due to the cost of harvesting/handling the feed in the field and feedlot. The grass finised beef fetches about 1/2 in sales price vs. grain finished beef. But that is a quality issue.
Dry range in California, usually goes for $15-$20 per acre, which contains about 1 ton of feed dry weight. Grass hay in California costs about $80/ton. Maize or wheat, usually $110/ton. The land to grow Maize or wheat is not much better than the dry range. Maize is grown in areas with summer rain, wheat is grown in areas with winter rain. Some of my friends grew wheat for generations. They switched to alfalfa because the profits from wheat were nil. Alfalfa can be sold directly to the end user (livestock operator, horseman, etc.) grains on the other hand, usually go to grain marketers. Who sway the market buy low, and sell high, dump product to supress prices, etc.
I saw the show on the steer. But that's TV, not reality (my grand father taught me "Believe none of what you hear, and half of what you see"). I for one don't believe any thing I see on US TV.
I raised livestock... I know. I worked in a US feedlot. If cattle are stressed, they go off feed. If cattle were raised in swampy pens, they get sick, need expensive medicines, don't gain on feed, and die. In the arid parts of the western US, swampy pens don't exist very often.
Aussie/Oz cattle grass fed cattle go to the US ground market (hamburgers). Grain finished cattle go to steaks and roasts.
If you want to see what California is really like, watch the TV show "Power Rangers". When the power rangers go to the park to fight the bad guys, look not at the irrigated park. But at the dry hills in the back ground. That is real California. 80% of California range land is dry and/or rocky and/or steep cattle pasture. The other 20% is flat irrigated fields.
And about the un-profitable grain business. If you don't grow grain for a slim profit, you can't pay your property taxes. And like the "Grim Reaper", the "Tax Man" knows no pity.
In the arid western portions of the US (NV, UT, NM, CA, TX, AZ, etc) where most of the US beef cattle are raised, there ain't enough water for knee deep shit. It's hard dry shit, you can throw it like a frisbee.
However swampy Viet Nam uses cattle as draft animals in human manure fertilized rice paddies. They seem to do very well in that environment. Perhaps we should look to the inner purity of their third world lifestyle!
How do you plan to govern a people whose beliefs (based on past initiative success) strongly differ from yours on "the death penalty", and "de-criminalization of drug use".
Sure... Pro-Bush/Anti-Bush, are merely two sides of the same coin. When you say: " I don't like what that person said once. Therefore I will hate them, tell others to hate them, perhaps call violence down on them." That is Fascism.
Currently, Fascist is used as dirty label. But Fascism is an socio/economic ideaology. Fascism lies on the scale somewhere between Communism and Capitalism. Fascism is a "Controlled Capitalism", where business is allowed to operate only in areas allowed by the government. Equality of income is guaranteed. Political dissension is not allowed, furthermore greeted with violent reprisals. Kind of like China today. The US seems to be heading there too.
Point 1, yes I made the error of submitting posts before coffee. Actually, my cube-mate was hounding me to get going to the coffee bar.
Point 2, Owning one of these devices allows you to follow the party line. If the vendor has not provided the proper "palm grease", his product gets slammed.
What is Fascism? A one party political system, where the party oversees and closely regulates business. Equality of income is one of the major goals. No dissension is allowed (violently supression of dissent).
For a while, I owned cattle. One time I was pulling a dead cow (died calving) towing her with my truck. It was early in the morning, and she had not been discovered by the other cows. When the herd saw me towing her, they all ran after me. When I stopped the truck, they all sniffed her. I imagined they were seeing who had died, and why. There was a calf head sticking out her bottom. The cows were quite upset. It's intersting the complex social interactions in a group of creatures we consider stupid. I've never killed one out in the field, by a neighbor said all the other cows get quite upset. Pigs on the other hand, don't seem to care about their peers.
Cattle also share baby sitting. Newborn calves are pretty helpless for the first five days. They can hardly keep up with the wanderings from food to water to bedding etc. of the herd. So the cows will form a "baby sitting club", where some cows will always be with the group of babies.
Pocahontas (sp) Uncle ascended power after Pohotan (sp) died, The Uncle lead an attack intending to kill all Whites in the Colonies. Only managing to kill 1/3 of them. The resulting revenge is what led to the decimation of the Native Americans. Besids, they wern't too sucessful in keeping the peace amongst them selves.
Most Colonists did not know about germs, cleanliness, infected garments, etc. People often make the mistake in assuming that since infective agents are common knowledge to us, that our Ancestors knew of them too. Not touching dead bodies, or the posessions of the dead was more about superstition than about knowledge of disease.
The wife has been doing the taxes lately, and with TruboTax. So I don't have a handle on the current Child Care stuff. But it sucks. Basically, you get to deduct 1/3 of the total spent, with a cap of about 2K per child. When all three of our kids were in daycare (1995), the total spent was 15K. Then they start to reduce the percentage you can deduct. We grossed 45K, childcare was >30% of our income, and we got to deduct about 2.5K from our gross income.
SSI (Social Security Insurance) is a big Ponzi scheme, that's the official term for "Pyramid scheme". We sink about 15% of our gross income on SSI. I don't think we will ever see it again. The pyramid is going to collapse soon. The idea was that most of the workers would die before they collect, but that is not happening. The classic example is the first person to collect, some woman who retired, and collected more in the first month, than she contributed. Then she went on to collect for several years.
The payroll tax will never be reduced to a measly 10%. We are spending too much on socialism. Or vote buying, how ever you look at it.
the big complaint on the tax cuts is that people that do not pay income taxes are not getting any money out of the deal.
Actually, they do get money out if it. Under the name of "Tax Credit". Credit is money owed to you. So a "Tax Credit" is money the IRS owes to you (and they pay their bills).
This is a Communists way of buying votes.
Notice that the "Tax Credits" go to people who vote, but pay no taxes? Prostitutes and their drug dealing boy friends on welfare.
If your company buys it's advertising from the inexpensive independant stations, instead of my big consolidatated group of stations. A team of investigative reporters will investigate you, your company, your family, your business associates, your financial holdings, and run a massive media campaign aginst the list.
But then again, if you owned a business, it would not need to be spelled out to you...
Without a license to practice law, this would be called Racketeering.
Market consolidation is just a pretty way of saying COMMUNISM.
I would say the market consolidation is Fascism.
Not in the You are a [Fascist/Nazi/Commie] name calling most often seen when these labels are thrown around. Most people throw around Fascism as a dirty word, not knowing what the attributes of Fascists. Fascisism (as I understand it), is a union of like minded individuals who agree to allow no dissension in the pursuit of the common cause.
Here is what , says. 1. often Fascism
1. A system of government marked by centralization of authority under a dictator, stringent socioeconomic controls, suppression of the opposition through terror and censorship, and typically a policy of belligerent nationalism and racism.
2. A political philosophy or movement based on or advocating such a system of government.
2. Oppressive, dictatorial control.
Word History: It is fitting that the name of an authoritarian political movement like Fascism, founded in 1919 by Benito Mussolini, should come from the name of a symbol of authority. The Italian name of the movement, fascismo, is derived from fascio, "bundle, (political) group," but also refers to the movement's emblem, the fasces, a bundle of rods bound around a projecting axe-head that was carried before an ancient Roman magistrate by an attendant as a symbol of authority and power. The name of Mussolini's group of revolutionaries was soon used for similar nationalistic movements in other countries that sought to gain power through violence and ruthlessness, such as National Socialism.
Slashdot Mirror
Looks like they use the "Dilbert Mission Statement Generator rev 1.0", those Diebold people are pretty smart.
That's not odd if you consider that the ACLU is owned by one of the political parties.
Hint... Did the ACLU sue when the US Coast Guard found several ballot boxes floating in the San Francisco Bay after the last election?

I suppose sys-admin bad experiences depends on who your manager happens to be.
Not as shitty as scatophogy

But it's still better than an IT job, even a UNIX sys-admin, I'd go back in a heart-beat. But it does not really pay the bills.
Right... But the problem is today's majority is made up of Sponges swayed by cheap head games.

Seems to me, that this is a Facist detector.
If you own one, you are probably a Facist.

. What is the timetable in the FCC regulation for the police and military to storm the independent radio stations
I am not a lawyer, nor a FCC licensee, but I would imagine it goes something like this...
1. File a complaint.
2. Restrict the FCC license.
3. Suspend the FCC license.
4. File an order of "Cease and Desist".
5. Take the former licensee's bond
6. Start a media campaign aginst the bad former licensee.
6. Take the now deceased licensee's property (by force if necessary).
