All speech should be free

Call Star reporter Tim Evans at (317) 444-6204 and follow him on Twitter @starwatchtim.

Above is an example of someone who is punished physically for his speech.  By physically, I mean hands were laid upon this gentleman and he was incarcerated.  I probably would not like this guy.... it does not matter.  Speech does not harm.  Those who claim it does are assuming that the idiots who react physically to speech are somehow the responsibility of the speaker.

Yes Virgina...... this includes someone yelling "Fire" in a crowed theatre.... only idiots  ( and there are so many of them ) will run in a panic without finding out what the true situation is.

The world ( and the U.S. in particular ) is filled with thuggish people who think everyone ( except themselves ) should be incarcerated , fined , controlled .....  bah humbug on them.   I dream of the day Sophonts 2.0 proliferate.

Good luck when trying to do the right thing

2013m02d23

Today a friend of mine found an iPhone on the street.  He brought it back to my place and was playing with it.  "What's that ?" , I said.

He said he found it and he was messing around with it.  I said it looked like a working phone.  Did he intend to contact the owner and return it ?  Nah.... he said.

Why don't you take care of it ?  he said
Okay, I will....
I tried various things and eventually called AT&T ( the service for the phone ) and gave them the number of the phone.  AT&T said they would connect me with the owner.  What I got instead was the Denver Police .... who started badgering me.  I don't want to deal with the police .... I want to give the phone to the owner.  A woman on the phone starts crying, claims to be the owner, and calls me a son of a bitch.  She says I am being mean to her because I am not interested in her crying jag.  She says her car was broken into.  I do not care.  I will leave the phone on my front porch in a box.  Come get it.

So I wait outside alongside the box and 2 police cars and a black SUV arrive.  A woman gets out of the SUV.  "Here is your phone" , I say.  I hand her a bag with the phone in it.  "Don't ever bother me again."

Then..... Hurray.... they all leave.   I hope this is the end of it.

Drones terrorize America

Below is a post from Jack Douglas    ........

 

February 21, 2013

Drone Blowback?

Writes Jack Douglas:
The US plans to use drones to spy and kill everywhere. They forget that something so simple and cheap can become a deadly weapon against  a Global Empire that is exposed worldwide, maybe a guerrilla war-winning weapon like the IED's in Iraq and Afghanistan, but much smaller, hard to detect, and cheap.

===================================
Writes 99guspuppet ....

I have sketched out the bare outlines to a book that stole ideas from a number of people....  One of my inspirations is *Ender's Game* by Orson Scott Card.    In my story, some youngsters are raised on video games that are similar to MicroSoft Flight Simulator.  They are kept largely ignorant of the world outside their enclave.  What they are not told is that they are being trained to fly manned drones on suicide missions.  When they actually go on a mission, they will not realize it is any different than any other day of their life.  It will be the last day of their life.  Using GPS information, they will fly in under the radar , disguised as something benign.  They will fly to their target and crash the drone.  BOOM ..... They are dead and lots of collateral damage is achieved.  Way cooler than strapping explosives around your chest.

I abhor violence.... so I will not be organizing this ... for sure , someone will do this.

Refuge for Hitlers big and small

Utility demonstrates .... is it the right hand or the left hand
or the back of the hand ???

http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2013/02/09/handicapped-woman-refuses-smart-meter-has-power-cut-in-the-dead-of-winter/

The link above fleshes out a story about a woman who objected to wireless smart power meters.  I am not writing here to discuss the pros or cons of wireless radiation.  Instead, I think this story illustrates how large organizations can be dis-functional and serve as a refuge for large & small power mongers .... for people practicing to be *hitler spawn*.

Lucky for these butt-inskies.... busy bodies ... that there are places for them to hang out,..... like at utilities , government agencies, the police and religious organizations.... to name a few

Joanne Yamaguchi adds .......   It is hilarious that *essential services* are treated so cavalierly ...... the company violates it's own mandate... or did it ?

Is automation a job killer ?

I am commenting on the following online aticle....
http://www.motioncontroltips.com/2013/01/18/is-automation-a-job-killer/

History shows us that increased technology leads to more goodies and more leisure.  This may or may not be a good thing.  For most it is good... for the ditch digger out of a job... it is a bummer. 

Taken to it's logical conclusion...  in the future a lot of humans will not have any real purpose in life other than to consume.  We see this happening already.  In the U.S. , many people do nothing all day.  Many of them are in government.  Abundance brings boredom in some cases.

I vote that we let technology proceed.....

Obama's healthcare ... greatest good ?

Is Obama's healthcare program 'utilitarian' -- does it provide the greatest benefit for the greatest number?



I guess that the greatest number of people being permitted to withstand multi-layers of bureaucratic paper-shuffling, and physically shuffling to multiple offices is “good” in the way that “no child left behind” is “good”. The question then becomes, what exactly does that ‘greatest good healthcare’ consist of? It consists of multi-layers of government workers getting or keeping jobs to “administer” this leviathan of a “program”. It consists of physicians and other healthcare workers buried under paperwork that clutters the path toward providing healthcare. In the end, “the program” dominates over actual benefit to people in need of good healthcare. But I guess it at least spreads the obstacles to great health benefits to “the greatest number”.

If space shuttle is doomed, do you tell the crew?

If space shuttle is doomed, do you tell the crew?

NASA has twice had space shuttles that disintegrated .... one going up and one coming down...  both times, some members of NASA believed there was a problem before the disaster occurred.  Should the crew be told about these concerns ?

If your answer is NO.... then I think your are a moral monster.  Ever thinking creature should always be told the truth... all the truth as it is best understood at the time.  At least they should be asked.....* do you want to hear the bad news ? *
