Conservative Libertarian

Which means that I believe in a society setting minimum rules of behavior and enforcing them with a limited government, paying for it by fees and fines.  Everything has a value and the consequences of infringing upon the liberty of others will require restitution and resolve.

Current Events

May 3, 2011 One has to wonder where all of this is headed. My initial feels are that we are in for some really bad times, economic, political, social, and even religious. However, I am impressed by the history of this country and the resiliency of people. There are a quite a few who think someone should take care of them. there are some who will try to profit at the expense of others and the vast majority will do what is necessary to work it out. It is those people that constantly outwit the pundits and cause the outcome to be different than the conventional wisdom proponents suggest.

I am inclined to think that there are some signs of positive things happening which will rescue this country from those who wish to destroy it. The question is, will we learn a lesson from the up coming economic meltdown and start to live within our means or will we, as they say 'kick the can down the road'.

Smartest guy in the room

Bernanke's failure is rooted in his belief that WWII was a model for America's recovery strategy.  Spend money!  He failed to understand that America circa 21 century is not a developing nation but a fat and sassy one. He failed to recognize that industrial America was poised to produce all of the necessities for a generation of people ready willing and able to build it themselves and pay for it with credit.  Today's american, even the so-called poor have too much of what we don't really need so cutting back is not a problem and, for many, paying their bills makes more sense. He failed to recognize that manufacturing of the staple goods have gone over seas and every purchase at Walmart sends the money to china. His belief that opportunity chases money and if there is a surplus of money the innovators will rescue the day when in fact 'need' is the mother of invention and surplus cash leads to surplus laziness.  He forgot that america of old had few regulations and abundant resources waiting to be developed as opposed to an over regulated, uncertain business environment, with all of the resources placed off limits to development by the environmentalist wack-os. His biggest failure was to let the socialist's powermongers give the money to the Walmart shoppers and siphon it off for welfare and union saving rather than use the money to motivate 'employee hiring' enterprises that are viable and not simply pipe dreams.

The whole premise that the economic system would collapse and that everything as we know it would cease to exist indicated his basic failure of not really recognizing the potential of America and Americans, it  epitomizes the attitude of the so called elite, the smartest in the room mentality.

Gravity

Gravity is the evidence of space pushing on or against matter as it travels through it.  For example, you feel your back press into the seat of the car when it is accelerating.  The sensation is gravitational but the phenomena is resistance.

Any object that is not firmly attached or at rest on a supporting object will be pushed by space giving one the impression that the apple is falling, the ball rolling, or the water is running. The push or resistance is the aggregate motion of the cosmos expanding, the galaxy flying and rotating, the solar system advancing, and as the planets orbits and spins. 

The paradigm shift is to conclude that space is in fact the unifying force in the cosmos and everything else is acted upon by it.  Space is ubiquitous and omnipresent.  The so called dark matter is the antithesis of space and in conjunction with space composes all matter.  Dark matter is a bubble in space and matter is the aggregation of bubbles. The bubbles are precipitated by vibrations easily aggregated or may exist in clumps which translates into physical matter.  As the matter travels through space the sensation of gravity is encountered.

i.e. gravity doesn't really exist it only seems as if it does.

String theory should actually be bubble theory.  Strings are 2D images of bubbles.

This post was motivated by Erik Verlinde's post in Big Think August 2010, I have long held the belief that gravity doesn't really exist, but didn't have the credibility to suggest it.  Finally someone that does, did.

Liberal elite

The liberal elite prefer to consider themselves as superior thinkers, more compassionate humans, and more capable individuals and yet their thoughts, actions and behaviors are juvenile.  They do not think about the consequences of there actions, they do not consider the adverse affects of their compassion, they do not consider the negative impacts of their behaviors as if their development were arrested at a very early age.

One look

Just watched a video of a muslim woman holding her own against a muslim cleric or whatever, they are called, who was condemning her for being on a TV show.  He insisted that she was a disgrace to her country and religion. She justified it by explaining that it was the only income for her family and how honorable her behavior and dress was.

He told her that no man was to look at her twice and she told him submit himself for punishment.

I understand the principles being applied by the cleric and that there is a probability of a sin by a man if a woman allows herself to be part of it.  I have told one of my nieces that same thing.  I am not sure what she understood but  I told her my first thought about how she was dressed was my fault. My second thought about how she was dressed was hers.

The muslim woman's final response to the cleric when he accused her of being in violation of the teaching of Mohammed was to rebuke the actions of Muslim clerics in their religion who are molesting and raping children in the mosques.

I understand and support correct principles, I abhor the hypocrisy, and I fear for her well-being.

Condensing/ Consolidating Planet Earth

Plate tectonics have never really satisfied me as being a very good theory.  I think a better theory is a condensing earth.  As the earth cools and its interior escapes to the exterior there is a transitioning of the planet from one state to another.  Like a ballon as it looses air the perimeter changes diameter and its surface consolidates. Obviously the earth is not a simple ballon and it crust is miles thick so the resulting geologic features and interfaces are much more complicated but I can not phathom how a single mega mass can distriubte itself around the globe.  It is much easier for me to believe that as the planet cooled and its surface folded and conslidated its interior flowed to the exterior it did so in a non-homonogus fashion which allows for the current configuration. 

The geologic similarities across the oceans and the discovery of common fossils is currently unexplainable by my notion and there is numerous scientific data that I am unfamiliar with which may alter my thinking but for right now I like considering the condensing theory.
