are they angry because they’re lefties, or the other way round?
It is very complicated to analyse and understand this, but very interesting to attempt to understand something so difficult. Let me propose as a start, that these people are life’s natural failures, and they resent that fact. It is very hard for them to look at themselves as the source of their problems. So they seek assiduously to find something outside themselves on which to blame their problems. Add to this the modern foolishness of encouraging the less able to believe that ‘they have a perfect right’. Incompetent teachers encourage those who are ‘failing’ to a self-belief that those individuals cannot possibly meet. Tthis leads to an arrogance and an inclination to believe they ‘know already’ and do not need to work or study. This, of course, leads naturally and inevitably to further ‘failure’. This is the most useful recent

why don’t you get a fatwa when you ‘insult’ astrologers “The Association will be requesting that the BBC make a public apology and a statement that they do not support the personal views of Professor Brian Cox or Dara O'Briains on the subject of astrology. We also request that the BBC will commit to making a fair and balanced representation of astrology when aired in the future.” Which is more than can be claimed for Islam. the web address for the article above is | |

fossil media in panic mode over japanese earthquake
Where in the plant? and that’s just the first paragraph. The local area is in flat panic mode.
What is “some”? Nuclear safety is ridiculously over-regulated, especially in comparison to the filthy fossil fuel industry. Meanwhile, nuclear safety regulatory systems in Japan and the USA are generally rather sloppy. Tens of thousands are being killed yearly in the USA filthy fossil industry. Danger is an integral part of power production, but nuclear power is by far the safest despite it being a new industry. The numbers dying in the train of this nuclear problem in Japan will be piddling numbers compared with the direct killings by the tsunami.
And humans continue to build right up to the coast in an area notorious for earthquake-driven tsunamis. The Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear plant was built right on the coast with just a couple of breakwaters to stem any tsunami. This does not look like well thought out planning. Humans take risks for what they see as the advantages of a sea view, or a short journey to work. Among the risks humans take, nuclear power is less of a risk than being struck by lightening. The public is being swept up in the usual fossil media hysteria.It’s how the fossil media make their money, winding up the uninformed in order to sell soap flakes, or newspapers. related material the web address for the article above is | |
the presidential candidate and the maths lesson
This is standard socialist economics, the success of which has been comprehensively proven by the Brown the Clown, Ed Balls, Millipede etc. That’s only $400,000 a job; with 2.1 million population that’s only 20 cents each for a ‘job’. Or less than $2000 extra taxes in total for each person, as long as the baybees and retirees pay their share. Just think, with $20,000 extra taxes, there could be 100,000 new jobs. With $200,000 extra taxes, a million could be employed. That’s half the population of the state (including baybees). With $500,000 in taxes from each peorson, they could even start employing the citizens of other states! Problem over. Obama gets a second term and Brown the Clown is fully vindicated. Save the world - vote for socialism! related material the web address for the article above is | |
