The universe is expanding and so is ........

The snippet belows says it all for me....

The US Dollar is going to inflate through the roof.......   printing, printing more printing of dollars insures this will happen....   make your plans based on the dollar becoming more and more worthless .... and remember that IOAs ( inhabitants of America ) are going to be really upset when their economic lives fall apart.  If IOAs can riot over a Superbowl win, they certainly will go nuts when it takes $100 to buy a loaf of bread....... assuming there is a loaf to be found.  The USG will have bought up all of it for their bread and circuses.  Death by inflation ( DBI ) is not unavoidable.  What is takes is major change....... be free market based....... be IPPP based.  99guspuppet

Jim Rogers: Obama Should Resign Before Inflation Sparks Unrest

Investment guru Jim Rogers says President Barack Obama should resign — and warns that inflation will only continue to soar, putting the United States at risk of the same civil unrest that has struck Greece.

Rogers says that what Obama “should do is take an ax — no, not an ax — take a chain saw to spending in the U.S.”

Patent frenzy appears to be here again

 The news below makes me take a deep breath and sigh.  Patents and copyrights are another area in which entities line up to suck at the government nipples.  In this case nipple suckers are mostly being granted powerful rights to intellectual property.

The patent system and the copyright system are very flawed and have been gamed by the big boys in Government and Business. It is quite clear that there is a flow of money and favors between the USG and many large corporations. The patent system should not be expanded. Patents should not be lengthened or strengthened. It should be harder to get a patent ( by this I do not mean more paperwork , etc... ) and it should be easier to break a patent. Patents should not be granted for anything "obvious". The onus should be on the patent submitter. Sadly more power in any function of government ( and patents are a government function ) means more trouble for IOA ( inhabitants of America ). 99guspuppet

SANDY RIOS: The Patent Truth

Written by Sandy Rios on June 21, 2011, 03:12 PM

A radical overhaul of the U.S. Patent system is rapidly approaching. S23 passed 95-5 in the Senate in January and HR 1249 seems to be on track to be called in the House in the next few days. And now suddenly there is pushback. Congressmen are confused. Staffers are confused. The public is largely unaware and the pressure is on…from someone…somewhere to get this sweeping overhaul passed quickly.

Bob Pease and Jim Williams just died Examples of sharing

These guys are from my era  and they were examples of sharing, caring, non-czar like characters.  I will miss Bob Pease in particular.  He reminds me a great deal of one of my mentors ..... the late  Howard Michels .... another very very generous person.  The image of HM is poor quality... and is the only one I have.
