The Republican Snake Oil Salesmen

This is EXACTLY their strategy. Everyone over 55 (a majority of the BBers) will NOT be affected. This means that seniors and those affected will not have the numbers to squelch this plan. Pretty thoughtful. I hope today’s seniors will see what this is all about.

THE GREAT AMERICAN CON

Well they are convincing a majority of the people. 91 Year Old New Hampshire State Rep. want to send out “defective” citizens to our own “Siberia” to die. Make sure the “defective” genes are cleansed. Many southern Red necks are going to eat this up. There is a lot of convincing to do. Not easily done. Especially with a black president that the right wing loves to hate. But another distraction from the real issues arises. Nuclear Melt down will divert the issues very fast. What can be done?

“Not in My Backyard”

I remember reading and seeing some history programs on the Green Bay Packers’ Black players experience in Green Bay. It was to say the least, surprising although probably not really.

I was told by more than one person in the legal system that I was fortunate to be white and male when I got in to a bit of a legal tangle many years ago. Raceism hangs on for deal life behind the scenes, and explodes when times get tough. This is another reason the American Taliban (Tea Party) is expanding.

Employment at Will…what does it mean?

I see no one has discussed the Employers telling their employment agencies not to send them any “Unemployed people” because their is a reason they are unemployed. What a crock. I even see in many employment counselors articles that after 6 months, most people’s skills are degraded. I feel I am iin this boat, as well as being 50 years old. I have enough resources for another year or so, and then if I’m still locked out of the system, I’ll rob a bank or something. At least I’ll get medical care and food. Imagine that. prisoners are treated better than most of our unemployed,

Facing Ignorance

I agree with most of the sentiment here. The dillemma that I have is, that is the arguement a distraction from reality, and we should just get on with our lives? Isn’t that why Progressives are loosing the fight? We would rather seek peace than argue & prove our point. The Right Wingers will argue until they have no breath, even with falsehoods they get from fox. Just something to think about.

An Easy Guide to Global Warming: What Is Global Warming?

I have done some recent research on an often overlooked aspect of global warming. Due to my interest in Physics, and my recent schooling in HVAC service, I have been very aware of the second law of thermodynamics. THe fact that energy is always conserved, and never lost broiught up a though about how much energy modern humans use on a daily basis, especially those in developed countries (i.e. USA). There is only a bit of research on this topic that I could find, but more importantly, my research was more centered on the effects of ENERGY USAGE on global warming.

The conservation of energy law, means that as we use energy, any kind of energy other than direct solar energy, it is dissapated into the earths eco system as heat. Indeed, even some renewable energy, and nuclear energy would add to the warming effect of ENERGY USAGE.

A good resource for enlightenment on this topic is

“Long-Term Global Heating From Energy Usage
Eric J. Chaisson”

The article explains that basically, without any influence from CO2 greenhouse effect, and other greenhouse gasses effect, that based on the increasing eneergy usage on the planet alone, that this ENERGY USAGE will account for a 3 degree Celsius average global temperature rise in 300 – 500 years.

For those not familiar with this amount of temp rise, it would be fatal to most living things on this planet. SO by the increase of human ENERGY USAGE alone, we are doomed in 300 to 500 years at the most. Add in the increased heating due to greenhouse gasses, and well, the picture looks pretty bleak.
