No longer likes cars

The best part of being a nobody is that you can look at somebodies and imagine how you would have done it different. I have downloaded the miniseries called "The Kennedys" from Zune videos and even though it won't be on DirecTV and I had to pay for it, it was only 1080 pts which comes to about 1080/80= $13.50.
In the movie, he makes a big decision to back a power play to take out Castro from Cuba. There are 25k troops over there and 1.5k troops are supposed to start the uprising of their people. Now even though I may not be too politically attuned to the world of today, it seems to me that if we go into a country that is already ruled by a dictator, that is backed by our #1 enemy, and that is a close neighbor without so much as a fence between us, it seems that they might be able to afford some intel on a major operation.
Oddly, the bay of pigs scenario mirrors a lot of what is happening now with Libya and though I don't believe our generals would ever risk their "jobs" to belittle OUR president, I believe it is in his best interest to get "bobby" in there, or at least someone that will explain things in an easy to understand language that doesn't say "you're engine is clogged has a bunch of gunck in there and best thing to do is to replace or rebuild the engine."
I realize that Harvard is a very hard school and coming from there you probably think you know a lot about the world but let me tell ya... a mechanic can take you to school. I have had two cars of my last two cars have their engines rebuilt. You're probably thinking I'm an idiot for allowing that but do I sound like an idiot? It's funny you think that cuz you can't really hear me now but heh!
Well back to the presidency, the only way to counter a military mind that doesn't want you as president is to change the military to fit your needs. We spend a lot on "defense" right? The DOD, (Department of Defense), is supposed to be the mightiest hand of government in the world, so we should use it as such. Obviously the best thing to justify people paying for our army is to attack us and get our help for free, so instead of having our engines cleaned by every friggin mechanic in the world that thunk this up, maybe we should do more research, throw it up on a blackboard, maybe we should ask for a base there and perhaps some land for testing our bombs. Right?! I mean we don't need our engines cleaned tomorrow and just maybe we didn't even cause the damage that's in there.
My last point is pride. It's nice to have pride. People love that stuff when you are running a business because there is no way someone would mess up a job they are proud of. But I believe that Republicans and the military are capable of just that. It takes a lot of hard work to fool people and it's one thing to be proud of a good job and another to be proud of a con. The military is by and large Republican and it's gonna take a lot of negotiation to get them to play fair with a Democrat as president. But why should they play fair when even Democrats like to putt from the rough so to speak. It's enough to say from a mechanic's point of view, that people with money have that money because they found a better way to outsmart people than they have, and it's probably true. The banks have organized, the medical profession has organized, the baseball players have organized, and even the mechanics have organized, who hasn't organized is the poor people.
But even though it sounds like evil people out there making the devil a nice slide to play on, the truth is people with enough elbow room don't make each other leave. When they become more and more bunched up the ones on this side need to gang up on the ones on that side, the ones that think it's just a temporary situation this pushing that's probably gonna go away. Eventually, what you have is a bunch of gangs some bigger than others and then what you have all the way at the end of this story is a bunch of people, some on this side and some on the other.

Both sides

Should money be run by private individuals, unregulated?

Should housing?

Should the internet?

Should electricity?

Should waste management?

Should water?

There are some basic things in life that people would love to control that every single person needs:

Trust, shelter, communication, public access to each other, even where to put our garbage are things all of us need to decide for ourselves. Take that away, and we become slaves to others who will fulfill our needs for an increasingly higher price. Why, because they can-can-can.

There is irony here because one side would say weaker people should pay, but then some would say richer people should pay.

Muhahahahahah! The Devil's Advocate strikes again.

Privatisation is dictators

Duh!

Maybe I should explain that a bit...

Nah.

What love is

The end of the age of reason comes with one person sitting too close to you. This is why elbow room is so important. If we sit too close together, someone must give up his seat to make the other person more comfortable. Usually the one that is the most "righteous" wins. Hence, the irony of being religious.

I just watched Agora, the movie, and it proved useful to proving that complete idiots usually have the most power. Don't let this happen to you.

If there are too many people in one place they usually or eventually all have to have a common cause and such if what the fate of our country will be if we become as populous as China. The end will come with some question about our lack of shame in not paying our debts or about some betrayal our God and they will ask us what the truth is, and when we can't say what it is, they will brand us "cheaters" and then they will come.

It's important to note that there are two kinds of people, people that let things slide and people that don't. And for all it's pompousness about being a "good" religion, muslimism and christianity and even dog-worship is about as "good" as a one-sided coin.

Don't let people tell you what God is saying. Don't let them tell you you're crazy. And by the way, don't let them ask you if it's OK to kill you. People will agree to many things but that doesn't mean you can't say, "Hey, what's that knife for?"

Vigilance, people, vigilance is the only way to maintain our peace in this country, if we even want that. But as has been the way in history, if a wall goes up, it must come down. So if some people have bunches of money and live in relative freedom, rest assured that some people are looking to take some of that.

I like to think that the whole world can be defined as binary. But that is slightly wrong. The world may be about good and evil, but mostly it's about what YOU believe, that being good, and the many evils of what everyone else does. So it's like ones and zeroes. Everything can be defined by numbers that become more complex as more complications are added that complicate them.

But the world isn't ones and zeroes. The world is ones and twos. We by ourselves think ourselves perfect to be alone, but that is wrong. Love defines whether you are perfect.

For that to happen you need two people. Two people are needed for love.

Think of an ellipse. Happiness is defined by two people sharing a bond. When they make love, they become a perfeect circle. When they stop, all the world is nicer or different to one person than the other. But the couple is relatively happy or "in love".

When they fall farther apart, the ellipse, becomes more large and the whole world will seem much more different to one and not the other. This is called irreconcilable differences.

When they separate, there is only one focus. This is a parabola. It curves inward because it is seeking a focus. A second focus to create love again. That's me. I am seeking a focus.

You can guess what happens when you are NOT seeking love. This is a parabola curved outward, a hyperbola. This is what crazy means. In fact, I believe it's possible to actually convince someone that love is not possible. (edit: actually a hyperbola approaches a righ angle and does not curve outward. Coincidentally though two focuses that hate each other could be useful in the same way that parabolas are useful in that two opposite parabolas that are made to touch could produce anti-matter but I really shouldn't talk about anti-matter because that would be philosophically WAY irresponsible.)

What would be the use of such a person? Ask yourself, why would you hate anyone for any reason and then tell them that? It sounds like a crime of passion right? It wasn't planned but it just happened. Suddenly you think the one you love has made you unable to love but in the legal system it's called temporary insanity, but really, it's just good math, hah!

Still I wonder if I should tell anyone about how to make crazy people because that would be just WAY irresponsible. I mean those poor poor people that don't know what is going on, what will happen to them?

It's time to write about Lord of the Rings. I know that I really enjoyed the show and am even enjoying the the strategy game more and more as I get better at it.

As I wonder at what a wizard is in real life, a gray wizard is one that is without a cause. A priest that has belief but is unfamiliar with how his power is useful.

A hobbit is little people. Little people have no money. Their advantage is that noone can tell them apart too easy. As numerous as they are short, they tend to not have an education but are as flippant and happy as the day when it comes to their everyday lives.

An elf is somone with money. These people think they will live forever and in many ways are taller than the others and have more skill. They are educated to some degree and are happy people.

A dwarf is like a church member, (edit, lol). They don't have a lot of money but they are stout warriors and tend to dig for treasure. Eventually, they dig too deep I guess, but they are generally happy. They don't trust elves.

The humans are worse because they are selfish. They are easily corrupted and it's because of their inability to be happy that they suffer the most. They want more. More power or more wealth or more of whatever. Yet, these can be both happy or unhappy depending on what they consider is "enough" wealth.

Urukhai are much like elves but they are unhappy. They have money and yet are greedy. They, like the elves, are tall but ugly in that they don't promote good behavior.

Orcs are just like hobbits but they are unhappy. It's funny when you think of a "pig" people because that is exactly what you think of when you think of a greedy person. Cops are often called pigs because they abuse their power I guess. Often though, given the opportunity, I have noticed that everyone, barnone, enjoys being cruel given the opportunity. "These people need to get the first tickets to hell, officer!" These "orcs" tend to have a jewish nature. God wants you to take money from the weak? Sure, ok, whatever. In sum, Jew=good, greedy jew=bad.

A white wizard is a human with a purpose. He is also worshipped like the gray wizard but is powerful because of his intellect and influence. In fact in the movie, right as Gandalf re-appears from his fight with the Balrog, you hear Aragorn tell everyone not to let him speak because he will put a spell on everyone. Yet they let him speak. The truth is, that Saruman deceived everyone all the way to the end, having played both sides the entire time. He is the white wizard Gandalf and you never see them both in the same scene after his fall with the Balrog.

Noone survives a fight with the Balrog.
