Toward Understanding
William J. Eisenman, Ph.D.
In recent months we've heard a lot about communism,
socialism, Marxism, capitalism, and the free market. Tea Party members called President Obama a Marxist, socialist, and a
fascist. It was quite clear that those using these terms in the contexts that they did were ignorant of the meanings of the
terms. We will try to shed some light on these issues and perhaps educate Tea Party members that are still educable. We should
also like to state that our elected representatives should at least know
the difference between the Declaration of Independence and the U. S. Constitution. If they don't they should stop spewing
out their silly opinions and ignorant rhetoric. To help these misguided people, here are some definitions to ponder.
True Meanings
Communism is a theory of social
organization that is based on the holding of property in common, actual ownership is by the community as a whole or to the
state. The perverted forms of communisn are systems of social organization in which all economic activity is controlled by
a totalitarian state dominated by a single and self-perpetrating
political party or dictator.
Socialism is a system of social organization
that advocates the ownership and control of industry and capital and land is owned by the community as a whole. In Marxist
theory socialism is the stage following capitalism in the transition of society to communism.
Capitalism is an economic system in
which investment in and ownership of the means of production, distribution, and exchange of wealth is made and maintained
chiefly by private individuals or corporations.
Free Market should be self-explanatory
but it is not. To huge corporations the free market means for them a monopoly in their particular area. Regulation free markets
lead to honesty-free markets as we recently have learned.
Fascism is a totalitarian governmental
system led by a dictator that emphasizes an aggressive nationalism and often racism. Fascism is a political movement like
that of Mussolini in Italy between 1922 and 1943--corporatism. Fascism occurs on the ring wing of the political spectrum.
The Political Spectrum
Socialism, communism and Marxism arise on the leftist
side of the political spectrum. This area is occupied by what we would term liberals and at this time in history Democrats.
Fascism spews forth from the right side of the political, the area occupied by right-wingers, conservatives and at this time
in history Republicans. Totalitarian despots can appear on both sides of the political spectrum. In China today there is a
totalitarian government calling itself communist while it is gung-ho immersed in capitalism! China is a hybrid. In America,
we too have a hybrid form of governmental system--touches of socialism and capitalism. The Tea Party members who refer to
President Obama as a Marxist, a communist or a socialist are wrong and since he's a Democrat on the left side of the political
spectrum, he can't be a fascist.
Our Government
The United States Senate, the House of Representatives,
and the president are all bought by a small but powerful cabal of corporations, the wealthy, and the elites of our country.
Money controls everything and everybody. Our government no longer works in the interest of We the People. Conservatives believe
we elect leaders not servants. Democrats believe they are elected to bring everyone together for a group hug. Both, in actuality,
believe they should legislate in the service of the status quo and really needed legislation never sees the light of day or
becomes so watered down as to be useless. Much of the time to placate Republicans, needed legislation becomes too right-wing
to do the job, an example would be President Clinton's welfare reform bill. Right now we need to ask where is Glass-Steagall?
There was a time in this country when $200 billion could have ended poverty. It was not done and if Republicans were truly
Christians it would have been done.
The Banksters
Wall Street bankers "crashed our economy" and took
taxpayers for a $13 trillion bailout. They then went back to their same old tricks "casino speculation." They rewarded their
evilness with huge bonuses. Instead of being tarred and feathered and losing their citizenship, they profited. Through all
of this we got misguided Tea Party folk trying to deflect our anger from those responsible, Wall Street and big corporations,
to our emasculated and almost impotent government. We heard nothing substantial about breaking up the too big to fail banks
or punishment of any kind. It has been 2 years since the "banksters" crashed our economy and only now has Congress passed
a financial reform bill, which actually does not solve the problem. It could happen again. The banking lobbyists "own the
place." How many lobbyists do you have in Congress?
Corporate Domination
Today corporations are just too powerful. In government
there is no insight or understanding as to the damage that policies in favor of corporations and the wealthy are doing to
80% of Americans. Redistributing money and power to the already well off is increasing the burdens on the rest of us. This
maldistribution of wealth and power has now become a cancer eating away at our society. Special-interest money has destroyed
any semblance of democracy that we may have shared. We are no longer a self-governing people. Money is indeed the roots of
all evil and We the People are being prevented from adopting any real change to combat or cure the cancer.
We experienced hurricane Katrina, a financial meltdown,
and now a disasterous oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. How did we get here? We got here as a result of people not doing their
jobs and because elected representatives gave certain industries the legal right to do whatever the hell they wanted to, without
any meaningful oversight. The free market would take care of that. Well, as stated previously, the free market works in favor
of the big guys. It all came to a head with Ronald Reagan's mantra that government is the problem. Reagan sought no government
regulation or oversight of business. Reagan began dismantling as much of government as he could--devolution. Regulations were
removed from industry and government agencies were staffed with ideologues and business-friendly political cronies. By filling
important government positions with incompetents, it was a foregone conclusion that government would not work.
In Reagan's Footsteps
The three presidents after Reagan followed in his
footsteps. President Clinton signed into law the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act in 1999 (the Financial Services Modernization Act)
which allowed commercial, investment banks, securities firms, and insurance companies to consolidate. The act also repealed
much of the 1933 Glass-Steagall Act, which was written to prevent financial meltdowns like the one that occurred in 2008.
Bright minds put laws like Glass-Steagall in place to avoid financial problems, but dumb minds today focused only on self
and big money and vilified these protective laws as socialistic, communist, un-American, and an insult to the free market--our
present form of capitalism. Lobbyists for big business bribed the dumb minds of today and got their way.
Standing on the Shoulders
The illegitimate President G. W. Bush was the worst
of the lot. His administration filled every governmental agency position with incompetent cronies, those who would obstruct
and not do the job in the service of We the People. Some blatant examples were FEMA, The Securities and Exchange Commission,
the Attorney General's Office, and the Department of Labor. These were the doings of evil men and women.
Big is not always better. Too big to fail is too
big to exist. Evidence shows that very large financial companies are less efficient than smaller financial companies. Hirees
should not be sabotagers--they should know how to do the job in the interest of the general welfare--We the People. They should
understand that when employed in government they work for us and not in the name of some political ideology. Their job is
to promote the general welfare. False patriotism and fake Christianity aside, America is not a beacon on the hill, it's hardly
a candle on a molehill.
From CENSORED number 112 copyright 2010 by W. J. Eisenman
"He that oppresses the poor to increase his riches, and he that gives to
the rich, shall surely come to want," Proverbs 22:16
"Prove all things; hold fast that which is good," I Thess. 5:21
The God Project
William J. Eisenman, D. D.
God is...
In light of scriptures like the following: Who has
this world's goods and sees his brother has need, and shuts his bowels of compassion from him, how dwells the love of God
in him? I John 3:17. Also, He that oppresses the poor to increase his riches and he who gives to the rich shall surely come
to want, Proverbs 22:16. How do right-wing conservative Republicans calling themselves Christians get away with their absolute
disdain for the poor? How does such blatant hypocrisy go unpunished and unchallenged? How is it godly to divide the poor into
the worthy and unworthy? How do these people get away with portraying their greed--I earned my money and I should be allowed
to keep it--as Christian? It has to be clear to all critical thinkers that 99% of those calling themselves fundamentalist
and traditional Christians merely twist, wrest, and pervert the scriptures to suit their political and economic ideologies.
These people live by tradition and sinful tenets, they are counterfeit Christians. Let's understand why.
Religion as we know it has failed to make the world
a better place. Most people are unaware that all original copies of the Koran were destroyed and an expurgated version was
issued by the third caliph who ruled after Mohammad's death. Today's versions of the Koran were censored. The Roman Catholic
Church described in Revelation 17 throughout history converted by the sword and killed 50 million people as well as the saints.
Today this same church is mired in a pedophilic scandal and has never sought to obey scripture, it has supplanted scripture.
It changed the Sabbath day and brought in Easter and Christmas to supplant God's holy days. All traditional religion is "sickly"
and "weak." The Bible states there is one true church, a "little flock," Luke 12:32.
Most of those who claim to be religious will try
to convince you that they worship the God of the Bible. This cannot be true because it is clear they lack fundamental knowledge
concerning the God of the Bible, His story, His word, and His plan. God is not the author of confusion, I Cor. 14:33 and the
God of the Bible is not the god of this world, II Cor. 4:4. The Bible makes it clear that Satan is behind all the counterfeit
religions in the world, II Cor. 11:12-15.
God is a family. God had a purpose in creating humans,
the Earth, and the universe. God has a masterplan and it has nothing to do with immortal souls going to heaven or hell. In
regard to religion today, as it was in ancient Isreal, every man does what is right in his own eyes, Judges 21:25. People
today follow non-existent gods as they did in days gone by.
God became a family with the birth of Jesus. God
the Father created all things through the Word, the Logos, John 1:1;Eph. 3:9. The Word who was God and was with God was
the God who was born as Jesus, Hebrews 7:3. Jesus, as a human, died and was resurrected, He had no immortal soul, He was the
firstfruit in God's masterplan--the first Son of God, Romans 8:29; Col. 1:15.
The Word, the God who became Jesus, gave up His
divinity--His immortality--when He came to Earth and was born as Jesus. His purpose in coming to Earth and being born as a
human was to die and pay the penalty for sin for all humans who repent and allow themselves to be led by God's Holy Spirit.
Jesus clarified the incredible human potential: To die and be resurrected as God and inherit the universe, Hebrews 2:5-10.
God is reproducing himself through humans.
God heads a government in heaven and Jesus heads
a Church here on Earth, I Cor. 12:12-20; Col. 1:18. All churches without Jesus as their head are fake and counterfeit.
The Bible states that Jesus' Church would be preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, not a gospel about the birth,
death, and resurrection of Jesus. Churches preaching this gospel worship fallen angels, Col. 2:8-19. God has only one Church--one
lamp--and He uses this Church to do His work, Rev. 2:5. There is government in God's Church and in the Millennium Jesus will
rule as King of Kings and Lord of Lords, and He will rule from Jerusalem, Rev. 19:6. In the Millennium a resurrected King
David as a God-being will rule over the 12 tribes of Israel. The 12 apostles, also now God-beings , will each rule over one
of the tribes of Israel, Matt. 5:48. Humans will not rule in God's government in the Millennium and beyond into the world
Humans lack a true perspective as to who and what
God is. Many who do not, believe that they have a personal relationship with God. An arrogant and self-centered preacher on
the world scene today believes God personally makes sure that he gets the best parking spots in parking lots! Others believe
they can have God help them win at Bingo. The Bible states that God regards humans as worms and grasshoppers. We should
remember that God is an alien with super powers and in His eyes humans are puny and sinful creatures, yet God needs humans
in order to reproduce himself. Most of those calling themselves Christian do not understand that all are not being called
now, and you cannot come to God unless called, John 6:44. At this time in God's masterplan only a select few have been called.
It is certain that 99% of you have never heard these
things from your preacher or studied them in your Bible. You have been fed pablum, nice things, to feed your vanity. You do
not know the God of the Bible and who and what He is.

Selfishness as a Virtue Revisited
William J. Eisenman, Ph.D.
We have in the United States a political party that
makes no pretense about favoring the wealthy and powerful over the middle class and the poor, the engines of productivity
and true wealth. The conservvative moral market philosophy of this political party claims that life is not fair and the world
owes none of us a living, yet we somehow are supposed to owe large corporations tax breaks and subsidies for sending our jobs
and manufacturing base overseas! The fact is it is our present political setup and warped economic traditions that are not
fair. We have allowed this unfairness to grow year after year and now a small cabal of the wealthy and powerful, along with
huge multinational corporations, dominate and control the United States government.
Divine Right of Kings
For thousands of years certain people have protected
their place in the economy and society with the dogma of the divine right of kings to rule. This allowed for the creation
of an artificial hiarchy of humans. Those high up in this hiarchy took unto themselves power and priviliege. These people
were the rich, famous, and powerful. These elites were kept in power by armies of the poor, not so famous, and not so powerful.
Intelligence played no part in this artificial setup of society. In time, these elites learned a respect for education and
hired tutors and teachers for their sons. Eventually, schools came into being and these elites continued to monopolize education.
The masses were not educable.
A Moral Code
It soon became necessary for the elites to find
a way to keep the masses in check--a moral code was needed. Ayn Rand wrote that "Man needs a moral code." What soon developed
were two moral codes, one for the elites and one for the masses. The moral code of the elites was one of self-interest, while
the moral code of the masses was one of self-sacrifice, altruism, and the satisfaction of the irrational desires of others.
Ayn Rand saw morality as a contest of whims, much as conservative Republicans see politics today. There was no freedom of
choice for the masses in all this.
What is Morality?
What are morality and ethics? Ayn Rand, a darling
of conservatives, described morality as a code of values to guide our choices and actions, these determine the purpose and
course of our lives. According to Ayn Rand, only the concept of life makes the concept of value possible. Only the living
regards things as being good or evil. Only the living have goals or originate them. Living organisms only can initiate self-generated,
goal-directed action.
Our Standard of Value
Ayn Rand wrote that survival is our standard of
value. That which threatens our life is bad and that which nurtures it is good. This is the foundational philosophy which
allows today's political conservative to embrace selfishness as a virtue. Any attack on selfishness or greed is seen as an
attack on self-esteem. Ayn Rand saw life as an end in itself. Pleasure is good and pain is bad. Pleasure means we are doing
something right and pain means we are doing something wrong. Our sensations are an automatic form of knowledge. Humans have
the capacity to retain sensations.
To Ayn Rand, humans have no automatic code of survival,
no automatic set of values. Our consciousness is volitional. The ability to think is not an automatic function. When we think
we focus our awareness. An unfocused mind is not conscious and we survive because of our consciousness, we reason. We are
not free to succeed by wrong choices. Ayn Rand wrote about 3 values: reason, purpose, and self-esteem. She also proposed 3
virtues: rationality, productiveness, and pride.
Conservative Convictions
Conservatives claim to be guided by what they call
convictions. They claim that they will not sacrifice their convictions to the opinions or wishes of others. This attitude
is thought to be the cornerstone of conservative ideology. But this is an attitude that prevents growth, especially when one's
convictions find no place in reality, then change, evolution, or repentance are not options. Convictions that cannot
be proved prevent conversion and learning. This then requires a faking of reality to adhere to an unworkable ideology. Rush
Limbaugh said he does not have compassion for the poor and yet he claims to be a Christian. This is impossible. This is not
honesty. Compassion means one has sympathy and sorrow for the plight of another, but it also means one has the desire to alleviate
the suffering of the other. Conservatives lack this desire to help. The Bible, which counterfeit Christians like Rush Limbaugh
claim to obey, states not our good, but others.
Convoluted Convictions
Because of wrong-headed conservative convictions,
the poverty rate in America is higher than in other industrial democracies. Poverty in America grew more rapidly during the
1980s and 1990s. In 1970 there were 4.3 million people receiving Food Stanps and in 1990 the number was 21.1 million and today
it is out of sight. The cost of Welfare in 1960 was $28.9 billion and in 1980 it was $159.3 billion and in 1990 it was $211.9
billion. Our GDP has tripled since 1960 and yet the conservative promise of upward mobility has not occurred. Conservatives
regard these increases as failures of liberalism, but in fact they are failures of pennywise and pound foolish governmental
and big business policies. The prevailing attitude is that the poor should not be given enough to become upwardly mobile financially.
In the business world it is also obvious that those who live paycheck to paycheck will never be successful or become rich.
Convictions From God
Conservatives and Ayn Rand share the concept of
selfishness as a virtue, but conservatives part company with Ayn Rand when she demands that mysticism and the supernatural
be rejected as sources of knowledge. Conservatives claim to get their convictions, values, and morals from God--the God of
the Bible. Conservatives agree with Ayn Rand that our highest moral purpose is the achievement of our own happiness.They merely
pay lip service to the adage that we are here to serve others.
Happiness the Goal
Free market loving conservatives come right out
and say that happiness is the successful state of life and if you are wealthy then you have been blessed by God. Suffering
is a sign of failure and not being blessed by God and we are responsible for our own fate. We are not to desire the unearned
and our only rational principle should be trade. We should not expect pay for anything but our achievements. How does all
of this square with tax breaks and subsidies for huge corporations?
What is Love?
Conservatives believe that only a rationally selfish
person, a person with self-esteem, could be capable of love. To love is to value. If one does not value himself, how can he
value another? Does this not make a mockery of altruism?
The Improbable Foundation
Behind all the conservative populist rhetoric lies
simple self-interest. Michael Lind wrote that the conservative movement uses imitation populist rhetoric in the service of
the rich and the business elite. The poor are always blamed for their plight. Those on Social Security are called "lesser
people." The unemployed are called lazy and that those who are working should be satisfied with minimum wage and no health
insurance. Conservatives constantly spew forth the upwardly mobile society myth that we can all become rich if we just work
hard. The conservative takes no notice of fate, destiny, timing, milieu, or opportunity. Conservatives believe as does
Phil Gramm that we are the only nation in the world where our poor are fat. Conservatives are very good at convincing those
that do not have and never will have that they can have if they just work hard. The onus is always on the individual. Today
Thomas Paine would not get Common Sense published.
Altruism is Bad
Ayn Rand and political conservatives regard a society
that is based on altruism as bad.There is also the belief that government's sole moral purpose is to protect citizens' rights,
but in practice it is the rights of business and the elites of society that are protected. Conservatives trample on individual
rights every chance they get--the G. W. Bush administration years are just one glaring example. No matter how much lip service
those in power pay to individualism, they are not talking about the "little guy." To those in power, as he was to Andrew Carnegie
and J. P. Morgan, the "little guy" is a commodity with few rights. Conservatives regard humans as sacrificial animals under
altruism. Altruists are considered anti-life. The altruist is said to lack self-esteem. This argument sounds somewhat like
the one conservatives use against the poor. The poor are said to lack morality, self-esteem, a work ethic, and they are
not blessed by God. It is claimed by conservatives that the poor would succeed if they just pulled themselves up by the bootstraps
and worked hard. This up by the bootstraps and hard work philosophy is said to come from the conservative's religion and all
would be well if we just had faith. On faith too conservatives part company with Ayn Rand. Ayn Rand wrote that faith was the
equating of feelings with knowledge, yet conservatives would say they despise feelings as a decision-making tool. This is
one of those conservative contradictions, of which there are many.
Reason Not Relied On
As previously stated, in decision-making, if one
can call it that, conservatives rely exclusively on ideology and faith. Reason is rejected out of hand. It seems that conservatives
do not comprehend the fact that if we commit our consciousness to beliefs that have no sensory evidence or rational proof--that
are not real--then we are relying on blind faith. We are then dealing with metaphysics. Conservatives use faith as a shortcut
to knowledge--much of the time the wrong knowledge. Conservatives refuse to be bound by reality. In this way, conservatives
arrive at awkward explanations of reality such as: love is an expression and an assertion of self-esteem, a response to one's
own values in the lover. Also, one's concern for the welfare of those he loves becomes a rational part of one's selfish interest.
And only under emergency conditions should one volunteer to help strangers, if it is in one's power.
The Moral Purpose of Life
We know by their actions that political conservatives
are mean-spirited. They are at times cruel. Their disdain for the poor is appalling and their love of the rich is pathological.
The conservative credo is that the moral purpose of life is the achievement of one's own happiness and to hell with all else.
They wrap their crass selfishness up in the flag, patriotism, free market economics, mom, apple pie, Chevrolet, and populism.
If George Washington had been a conservative he and his men would never have suffered that horrible winter at Valley
Forge and there would be no United States of America today. He would have said to hell with this and went home to a nice warm
fire, a book, and an easy chair.
Convictions Out of Context
By now it is hoped that it is understood that political
conservatives hold convictions out of context. They vehemently preach the letter of the law and forget the spirit. They screech
at every chance they get that our government, We the People, is the most dangerous threat to our lives and freedom.
But huge corporations can bleed taxpayers dry and treat workers like commodities--can even kill workers--and all is well.
We must all bow down to the almighty corporation. Today's form of perverted capitalism has become the political conservative's
religion--money is his god and the bank is his church.
Promises, Promises
Political conservatives make promises they cannot
keep. They promise that tax cuts for the rich will stimulate the economy and create jobs. This is a lie. One needs only to
look to history to see that high tax rates on the rich stimulate the economy, cut the federal deficit, and create jobs. Under
G. W. Bush's administration only 1 million jobs were created in 8 years, while 22 million jobs were created under Bill Clinton
after taxes were raised and he left office with a surplus. Conservatives promise balanced budgets when they are out of power
and when in power they claim that deficits do not matter. No Republican in recent memory has ever presided over a surplus.
Political conservatives believe all would be well if we just returned prayer to school and we could stop women from having
abortions, while also preventing gays from marrying. These goals are contradictory and make a mockery of the belief in individual
freedom. Social conservatives are represented by the religious right who have no respect for laws or tolerance. They want
their agenda fulfilled no matter what. Fiscal conservatives claim to be interested in tax cuts and balanced budgets, along
with a small and weak government that will be no match for big money and corporations. The fiscal conservative still has not
found a truly successful way of masking his crass greed and selfishness no matter how it is spun. The balanced budgets and
tax cuts for the rich are just glaring examples of this greed and selfishness. Political conservatives have since the Reagan
era turned economic theory on its head so that it favors the rich--the non-producers of wealth--over the worker, the real
producer of wealth. Abraham Lincoln said it clearly that labor is before capital.
Societal Evolution
If selfishness is a virtue then we as a society
have not evolved at all. Every king, Pharaoh and potentate throughout history has practiced selfishness as a virtue. Nathaniel
Brandon wrote that our emotional mechanism works according to the kind of values we choose. If we choose selfishness as a
virtue then how does this help us in our quest to be civilized or part of a community? Obviously, it does not. Selfishness
as a virtue pits individual against individual for the commodities and elements of life--might makes right--it becomes a dog-eat-dog
Ayn Rand wrote that morality deals with issues open
to our choice and that rights are a moral concept. Individual rights are the means of subordinating society to moral law.
Groups have no rights. Only individuals have rights and the purpose of government is to protect individual rights. Political
conservatives, however, do not like people banding together to get their due, conservatives like to pick us off one by one.
It should be understood by now that if we foster selfishness as a virtue, then we will have a society where only the wealthy,
powerful, or well-connected will prosper.
The touting of selfishness as a virtue is pure propaganda.
It is propaganda developed to justify greed. Selfishness as a virtue is a way to put a positive spin on the greed of the wealthy,
powerful, and well-connected. In this spinning process the greedy were able to turn the average person's healthy envy and
criticism of the rich into a fear and hate of government. The criticism of selfishness has been turned into an attack on self-esteem
and the so called "producers" of society. And today we see very little criticism of this propaganda. Critics, liberal and
otherwise, have failed to understand that the conservative is defeated when he is deprived of his religious moral high ground.
Conservatives claim morals come from God and those who have not found Jesus are lost. At the base of all conservative talk
of reform, populism, and revolution is this sense of owning the moral high ground--this religious arrogance. Conservatism
cannot be defeated without attacking and undermining this perceived moral high ground. Because we as a nation are constitutionally
tolerant of those who worship gods that cannot be proved to exist, we allow the conservative to lie and deceive where religion
is concerned. When these lies are believed by wrong-headed people we end up with bin-Ladens and other religious fanatics.
When enough wrong-headed people believe nonsense, they can have it inscribed in law for you and me. They can prohibit. They
can censor. They can practice racism. They can, as they have done in the past, kill you and me.
Born Selfish
We are all born selfish and self-centered and in
need. Normally, as we grow and evolve we learn to care for and need others. The capacity to care for and need others is a
natural result of instinctual gratification, according to Wilhelm Reich. In this way we grow up relatively emotionally unblocked.
It is then easy for us to give of ourselves freely and to know love--we outgrow selfishness. Those advocating selfishness
as a virtue are stunted in their emotional growth--they are emotionally immature. What we learn from this is that selfishness
is not a virtue, it is an infantile emotion. Drug dealers are selfish. Wall Street bankers are selfish. Muggers are selfish.
Rapists are selfish. Those in organized crime are selfish and the Bible states that Satan is selfish. Selfishness is not a
virtue, it is a sign of pathology. It is a mask that hides the get way of life--the devil's way of life. Selfishness
as a virtue cannot work in communal settings: family, marriage, society, and civilization.
Anti-Selfishness Sentiment
America was built on anti-selfishness sentiment.
The Stamp Act was selfish and Americans protested it. The British plundering of the American colonies was selfish and the
colonies went to war with Britain to stop it. Much more can be said, but by now to any critical thinker the point is made.
There used to be a healthy anti-rich sentiment in America, but a very successful conservative propaganda campaign in at least
the last 30 years has turned greed and selfishness into a virtue and it is claimed that there is religious authority to have
done so! These blatant lies and delusions must be unmasked, undermined, countered forcefully and stopped. It must be made
plain that selfishness is not a virtue, it is an emotional problem, it is pathology.

Breach of Contract
card companies are sending out termination letters to some of their best customers--those who pay the minimum amount each
month but have never been late or missed a payment. The companies are cutting off access to further credit for these customers,
but they claim the customer must continue to pay his bill! Is this not breach of contract? One party to a contract cannot
have all the power.
A contract is a meeting of the minds on an equal playing field. As it stands, the credit card companies have all the power;
they can change the contract arbitrarily and capriciously any time they feel like it. Does this not nullify the contract?
Cannot then the customer refuse to pay the rest of his bill if his credit line is taken away in this manner?
Our economy works on a credit basis. Credit is vital. Credit is too important to be left to corrupt and venal
banks and finance companies. Credit card companies must be challenged by individuals and by appropriate legislation. The financial
meltdown has taught us one thing: We must cease this obscene genuflecting to monied corporations. This deference is unseemly
and dangerous. If a credit card company terminates you for no good reason, then you should not be liable for your balance;
they have breached the contract.

Hours after undergoing an MRI on his ailing back and being told he couldn't cause further damage, Ryan Braun got on a plane and flew to Pittsburgh, where he was able to join his Brewers teammates in the second inning of their game against the Pirates on Monday.
Braun entered the game as a pinch-hitter in the eighth inning and hit a two-run double to tie the game in an eventual come-from-behind victory for the Brewers.
"I was not anticipating playing today -- that's for sure," Braun told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. "It was kind of a crazy day, definitely something I've never experienced before. I got loose, got myself prepared, knowing that I'd possibly get a pinch-hit at-bat."
Napoli uses bat to stay in lineup: Mike Napoli has been on such an offensive roll that the Angels decided to keep him in the lineup as a designated hitter over the weekend. The catcher had a streak of reaching base nine times in a row and in 12 out of 13 plate appearances.
"I don't really pay attention to it," Napoli told the Los Angeles Times. "I guess I know now. I feel good at the plate. I'm seeing the ball well, obviously. I'm just trying to go out and keep it the same. Just keep playing."
"I like it," said Napoli, who had never had an at-bat as a designated hitter before this season. "It's way different than catching a game. It's a lot less stressful."
Kelley's relief absence 'devastating': Shawn Kelley, who has been outstanding in middle relief for the Mariners, had to be helped off the field on Tuesday after straining an oblique muscle.
"All signs would seem to indicate this is going to be a little bit of time to recover," manager Don Wakamatsu told the Seattle Times. "He was doing such a phenomenal job. To be able to have depth in the sixth, seventh, eighth innings ... he just kept climbing the ladder. So it's pretty devastating."
The 25-year-old right-hander hasn't allowed an earned run over 10 appearances and 11 2/3 innings for Seattle.
Pepper providing results for Reynolds: Last week, Mark Reynolds had a series of key two-strike hits against the Giants, Cubs and Brewers. With two strikes, the Arizona third baseman now chokes up on the bat and spreads his stance out.
"In my mind, I want to become a better and more consistent hitter, and the only way I can do that is to cut down my swing," he told the Arizona Republic. "I try to play pepper. That's what I've been trying to do. It's been working for me a little bit, and I want to keep it going."
Beltran brings power to .400 mark: Carlos Beltran is off to a strong start, batting .400 to go along with a .500 on-base percentage and 18 RBIs.
"He can be very, very dangerous," Mets manager Jerry Manuel told Newsday. "He's pulled a lot of home runs in his career. But to stay through the baseball and get distance, that's a very, very good sign for him."
A-Rod plays seven innings: Alex Rodriguez played seven innings during an extended spring training game on Monday, signaling his return to the Yankees could be just around the corner. Rodriguez went 1-for-6 with a home run and a walk.
The Yankees want Rodriguez to get in another seven innings at third base and then have him slotted as the designated hitter in one last tune-up before joining the team in Baltimore on Friday.
"So much of it depends on how he feels and when he believes that he's ready to go," manager Joe Girardi told the New York Daily News. "I haven't really put a date on it, because I want to see how he bounces back. It's up to him. When he feels that he's ready, we're probably going to take him back."
Hamilton tests ribs: Josh Hamilton, on the disabled list since last week, played catch on Monday and could start swinging the bat Wednesday, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported. While Hamilton didn't have a problem playing catch, throwing the ball wasn't as easy he felt some soreness in his injured ribs.
"I didn't expect to not feel anything," Hamilton said. "Compared to feeling normal, I'd say I felt about 85 percent. I'm right where I thought I'd be."
Longoria gets lineup help from in front, behind: Evan Longoria was named the American League Player of the Week for the second time this season on Monday.
Last week, the Tampa Bay third baseman hit .379 with 14 RBIs, four doubles and two home runs while scoring nine times in seven games. Longoria also had a slugging percentage of .724 and a .438 on-base percentage.
Longoria said one reason for his success is batting between Carl Crawford and Carlos Pena.
"It's a huge deal," Longoria told the Tampa Tribune. "They're worried about Carl stealing bases, so they have to throw me fastballs, and if 'Los wasn't really hitting, they'd probably just flip me breaking balls and let Crawford steal and walk me. They can't do that with Pena behind me."
Bay finds uncanny success against team's nemesis: Jason Bay hasn't been with the Red Sox for a year, yet he's already become a nemesis of the Yankees. In Boston's first five games against the Yankees, Bay is 10-for-18 with three home runs and 10 RBIs.
"Whether it's the Yankees or the Orioles or anybody else, it's the same approach," Bay told the Boston Herald. "It's really nothing that I'm doing anything different. I enjoy the atmosphere of these games -- it's second to none. But I'm not doing anything different."
Carpenter begins to throw off mound: Chris Carpenter, sidelined with a left oblique strain, threw off the mound for the first time in three weeks on Monday.
"We're going to take it day-by-day," Carpenter told MLB.com after Monday's session. "There's no set throwing schedule or anything like that, or throwing program. I'm just going to go out and play catch and keep stretching out. As my arm gets stretched out and feeling better, hopefully sometime this weekend or the beginning of next week, I'll be able to throw some balls off the mound if everything feels well."
LaPorta takes off to first, keeps going: Matt LaPorta's first Major League hit was a two-run homer on Monday. The Cleveland rookie sprinted to first base, unsure if the ball was going to leave the ballpark.
"It felt pretty good off my bat, but you never know," LaPorta told MLB.com with a smile. "I took off running."
Barfield returns to old stomping grounds: For Josh Barfield, visiting Toronto always feels like a homecoming. He spent much of the first nine years of his life in Toronto while his father, Jesse, played for the Blues Jays.
"I love coming back here," Barfield told MLB.com. "It's probably my favorite place to play. I spend a lot of time up here and I've got family that lives up here now. It's a great city, and I've got a lot of memories up here, so it's always fun to come back."
Howard spies homecoming chance: Ryan Howard, who grew up in St. Louis, relishes the possibility of playing in the All-Star Game in his hometown this year.
"That would be awesome," Howard told the Philadelphia Daily News. "That would be a great experience, being in the All-Star Game in your hometown. It would be right up there."
Sardinha brings backstop depth: Tigers manager Jim Leyland says having Dane Sardinha in the fold is extremely important.
"He's a tremendous backup catcher, in my opinion," Leyland told MLB.com, "because he can catch and throw as good as anybody. He's good -- he's really good. Defensively, he's as good as there is in the league, in my opinion."
Greinke's confidence fuels team: Zack Greinke has been named the American League's Pitcher of the Month for April after posting a 5-0 record with an ERA of just 0.50.
"The confidence he takes to the mound ... spreads to the rest of the team, whether they are playing behind him or watching," Royals manager Trey Hillman told the Kansas City Star. "It's a nice thing. I'm glad to see him getting recognized with an award."

Previous year's Project Ideas
Please see the Google Summer of Code 2012 and the 2013 Project Ideas 2013 for examples of project ideas.
Project Ideas
Please organise your project idea into a category below. Feel free to create new categories if needed.
Core Clojure
Lean JVM Runtime
Brief explanation: The current Clojure/JVM runtime is fully-featured, and can become even more fully-featured with projects like core.typed. However, sometimes it is important to have a leaner runtime that is less resource-intensive. This is ideal for instances where Clojure serves primarily as a library or in lean runtime environments like Google App Engine or Android where a quick startup is desirable. The goal of this project would be to create an alternative lean Clojure runtime and associated compiler. The compiler may be based either of the standard compiler or the ClojureScript compiler. Clojure vars would compile to static fields or methods. It will be necessary to find out which subset of the language makes sense (for example, vars would probably not really exist anymore).
Expected results: A lean Clojure runtime and compiler (well, some good progress to this end)
Knowledge prerequisites: A thorough understanding of Clojure and some familiarity with byte code generation for the JVM.
Difficulty: Hard
Mentor: Daniel Solano Gómez
Numerical Clojure
Many of us are working to make Clojure into a great platform for Data Science, Big Data and numerical computing. See the Numerical Clojure Group for ideas and discussions. There are many opportunities to take on exciting projects in this space - a few ideas are listed below:
Linear Algebra for Clojure
Brief explanation: core.matrix provides a powerful and flexible API for array programming and numerical computing in Clojure. To take this to the next level, it is important to implement a suite of linear algebra algorithms - including various matrix decompositions (SVD, QR, Cholesky etc.....), linear system solvers etc. These need to be added both to the core.matrix API, and to one or more core.matrix implementations. A good option would be to add these algorithms to vectorz-clj, which is a well-maintained core.matrix implementation that runs 100% on the JVM. It would be possible to port or adapt existing Java algorithms (e.g. from EJML). Our goal would be to match / exceed the performance of other Java-based libraries - see the Java Matrix Benchmark
Expected results: A clean, well-defined API for linear algebra in core.matrix. Fast working implementations of the API added to vectorz-clj, with performance comparable to the best libraries in the Java Matrix Benchmark
Knowledge prerequisites: Mathematics / linear algebra, Java, Clojure
Skill Level: Hard
Mentor: Mike Anderson
Brief explanation: core.matrix provides a powerful and flexible API for array programming and numerical computing in Clojure. It should be possible to create an implementation for core.matrix that performs computations on the GPU. Ideally, matrices would be retained in GPU memory as much as possible, to avoid unnecessary copying to/from main memory.
Expected results: A full core.matrix implementation with GPU-based array storage and GPU-accelerated operations. Benchmarks to demonstrate clear performance gains over non-GPU approaches for key operations (e.g. matrix multiplication)
Knowledge prerequisites: Mathematics / linear algebra, Clojure, GPU programming
Skill Level: Hard
Mentor: Mike Anderson (core.matrix aspects) - would need another mentor with GPU expertise
Incanter + core.matrix integration
Brief explanation: core.matrix provides a powerful and flexible API for array programming and numerical computing in Clojure. Incanter is a platform for statistical computing and graphics. Bringing the two together would create a powerful combination.
Expected results: Incanter modified to take full advantage of core.matrix.
Knowledge prerequisites: Statistics, Mathematics, Clojure
Skill Level: Hard
Mentor: TBC
Quil on ClojureScript
Brief explanation: Quil is a drawing and animation library for clojure. It is basically wrapper over Processing. Currently Quil works only on vanilla clojure (JVM based). It would be cool to have it also on ClojureScript. Processing already have javascript version: Processing.js, so it can be used for our goals.
Expected results: quil clojurescript library capable of running regular quil sketches, documentation how to use it in clojurescript project.
Knowledge prerequisites: familiarity with clojurescript, javascript
Skill Level: Medium
Mentor: Nikita Beloglazov (email@example.com)
Dynalint: Improved Core Clojure errors and warnings
Brief explanation: Error reporting has been identified as a common complaint of Clojure in the latest Clojure Survey. In many cases, addressing these concerns directly in the core Clojure implementation would degrade performance, while an explicit "strict" or debug mode for Clojure would require extensive changes to Clojure core. Dynalint takes another approach: it is an external tool that can "instrument" core Clojure functionality to emit warnings and better errors. This approach has some limitations, but it can quickly make headway in an area that Clojure struggles with.
Expected results: A comprehensive suite of useful warnings and errors for the (near) latest version/s of Clojure.
Knowledge prerequisites: None
Difficulty: Easy
Mentor: Ambrose Bonnaire-Sergeant

I recently needed identifying information from my nieces, including birth dates, addresses, Social Security numbers, etc. What you're saying is that it's OK to trust unidentified MS employees with that information. I disagree.
There is potential for abuse on the inside, certainly. But personally I am completely comfortable trusting Microsoft with such plaintext. They are a well known and trusted entity which takes user privacy and security quite seriously. The odds of successful identity theft from within the company compared to, say, some dope at starbucks casually observing wifi packets is very, very small. By trusting one I have gained a measure of safety from many.

Gotta love science. It adjusts to the evidence and has no shame in admitting fault, unlike, to pick a random example, religion.
Environmental luminary Dr James Lovelock says he now regrets being "alarmist" about climate predictions. Speaking to MSNBC, Lovelock admitted spicing up his books with headline-catching doomsday predictions. In 2006 Dr Lovelock predicted the Earth "would catch a morbid fever" that would destroy six billion people - "the few …
Gotta love science. It adjusts to the evidence and has no shame in admitting fault, unlike, to pick a random example, religion.
Or, to pick less random examples, politics and newspapers
Oh look an atheist troll. Well, that's original.
To quote Jocelyn Bell Burnell, the discoverer of Pulsars, "[In science] nothing is static, nothing is final, everything is held provisionally" and that "sometimes you have to abandon the picture"
She is a Quaker, and sees her faith as having those same qualities.
(I'm an atheist, but fair play to the good religious people, rather than those dogmatic types)
Science and religion not mutually exclusive:
Jocelyn Bell Burnell, a Quaker and discoverer of pulsars said "[In science] nothing is static, nothing is final, everything is held provisionally" and that "sometimes you have to abandon the picture".
She has also said that her faith informed this attitude, rather than encourage dogmatism.
(I happen to be atheist (but liking the 'thou shall not kill and steal'), but give credit where credit is due)
The OP contrasted science and religion quite accurately IMO.
Exactly right - Climate Change isn't science. It's a religion. The almighty model has been proven wrong time and again, and yet they still hand it to politicians, even thought they know said politicians will only use it to gain political power. It's not a tool for discovering more about life on Earth - it's a publicity stunt. It doesn't have to be, but scientists allow themselves to be deluded into believing their model is based on fact rather than fiction. It's a "faith-based model."
Yeah, but he contrasted the 'ideal' of science with manifestation of religion. That's like contrasting the blueprints of one product with the production model of another.
Not all science is practised ideally, not all religion narrows your mind.
I just thought it would be good to highlight the fact that not all those with beliefs are dogmatic. Beliefs, like working hypothesises, can be changed.
"The almighty model has been proven wrong time and again"
That's how models work.
But I'm sure you'll be happy to provide some specific examples of the current consensus on climate change being debunked.
Why is that?
Stan Marsh, the famous philosopher, on the subject of religion, when discussing evolution vs creationism:
'Couldn't evolution be the answer to how and not the answer to why?'
It's true, science and religion don't have to be exclusive.
(note: Stan Marsh - character from South Park)
Well thanks Rush Limbaugh. I was always completely convinced by the fat lying bastards in the pay of industrial interests who "predicted" nothing would happen (yet) by virtue of their superior wisdom.
Thanks for putting it in a great way.
"Not all science is practised ideally, not all religion narrows your mind."
Yes but the chances of religion screwing are far far less greater than science if I do add so myself.
Religion and Science have nothing in common.
Proper science is about fitting theories to evidence and is in constant turmoil, and rightly so.
Proper religion is about dogma, faith does not change based on evidence.
Regardless of what the apologists say, there is nothing common between the two. They are diametrically opposite in terms of viewpoint, which is, by the way, why comparing creationism and evolutionary theory is pointless and futile.
"Gotta love science. It adjusts to the evidence and has no shame in admitting fault, unlike, to pick a random example, religion."
It's people like you who provide the audience for garbage like Lovelock and Paul Ehrlich, another incompetent "scientist" whose desire to influence society goes lightyears beyond his qualifications and fitness to do so.
The *reason* people like you provide an audience for trash like Lovelock and Ehrlich is that you really have *no* idea of what science actually is - because, if you did, you would have recognized their agenda immediately upon reading their "work" and would never have taken them seriously.
That wasn't science to begin with. It was some data and then an alarmist theory that news hounds gobbled up with abandon as the next hot thing to report on. Meanwhile an entire industry is spun up to capitolize on peoples FUD. And now he says he was wrong, sorry? What a joke.
Evolution doesn't attempt to suggest a why and the concept of there even being a why makes it a leading question. If you can demonstrate why anyone should accept that there is some purpose for life, I'll be happy to listen.
maybe a bit harsh, but I am kinda of with you. Climate Science is based of some facts, they just don't have them all, but the climate-mystic-megs seem to blithely ignore the fact that there are a lot of unknowns. It is these unknowns that keep bitting the climate-mystic-megs naff predictions. Hence why they seem to be works of fiction.
As a kid of the 1970s , we knew weather forecasters were about as accurate as Mystic Meg (or whoever was the famous astrologer then:) ) , but then came satelite pictures in the 1980s and gave weather forecasters at the least the chance of getting the next couple of days sort of right, and this seems to have given them over confidence.
The test case for climate science is just so big, you need a spare planet, the ability to change the make up of the gases, the types of life on the planet,with control planets to make sure meteriorite impacts and solar output don't skew the results too much, and a few million years to test it over. I don't see them managing that, or any accurate predictions anytime soon, unlike real science that has a lot less unknowns, without any mystic megs in sight.
So yeah , there is a lot of "faith" in climate "science".
Yawn another day another AO or LP human climate change denial article. Preach on brother Beavis.
I was thinking along the line of Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, and the concept of The Church and 'a church' (made from stone and mortar). I.e the ideal and the concept are separate. There are passages in the Gospel of St Luke (IIRC) where JC is taking the piss out of St Stephen for having a church-building fetish... 'Well, if you makes you happy, knock yourself out... but I can't help thinking you're missing the point' [Paraphrasing, d'oh!]
We could also cite Frank Zappa: 'To be original and violent in your work you must be disciplined in your home life' and even then was paraphrasing some French bloke. I'm led to believe that this forms the basis for Aldous Huxley's Eyeless in Gaza, though I haven't yet read it.
Aldous was inspired to write Brave New World after witnessing a post-war ICI plant. Kurt Vonnegut was similarly inspired by an American chemical plant to write a factual piece, but reviewers assumed he was writing science fiction, not journalism- that was the pace of change, then. KV, a devout atheist, famously announced "Isaac's [Asimov, Humanist, yet scholar of the Old Testament] in Heaven now" to a meeting of American Humanists (ROFL), and that he was so glad he was born into a world in which JC's Sermon On The Mount was delivered ('blessed are the cheesemakers' *peacemakers). "do unto others as you would have them do unto you" = "don't be a cu^t"
And leave that Welsh tart alone.
"If you can demonstrate why anyone should accept that there is some purpose for life, I'll be happy to listen."
Fair point, nihilistic as it might sound. Instinctively, aesthetically, the idea of wiping out species is abhorrent to us. That said, if we fuck up this globe - and us with it- there is plenty of scope for many new species (and ecosystems) to evolve and die out [and process repeat umpteen times] before the death of the Sun renders the Earth a crisp ember in about 5 billion years.
Life is, because it has been. Patterns of molecules that are, tend to be those patterns that have been, and will be- with some iterative tuning to local conditions along the way. They have a quality of replacing themselves.
Another way to answer you question is to note that all mature ecosystems are very, very efficient at degrading [usually solar] energy. "Catch-22: Because we can"
@skelband "Proper religion is about dogma, faith does not change based on evidence."
Yes and no. Would your faith in the sun rising tomorrow AM be shaken by a solar eclipse (if you hadn't heard of its prediction)? Or would you amend, and fine-tune your faith?
I think you will find that many religions are happy to embrace The Theory Of Evolution By The Natural Selection Of Random Variations, and indeed anything that is demonstrably true. There are areas in life which science doesn't (can't) express a view, such as how to treat each other. 'Hawks Vs Doves' is an piece of game theory, not an instruction.
If he did not say anything others would have. It was not as if he did not announce his projections. Oh, and if you go back to religion when prophets said something was going to happen and it did not they got stoned (rocks thrown at them until they were dead). So even in religion reality trumps hogwash.
Not really. They are orthogonal. I am agnostic, but see no reason why you couldn't have a competent scientist that believed in God*.
This whole science vs. God thing is quite dreary, quite a new development post-Enlightenment and only a result of entirely too many merkins not being educated enough to know anything about well... anything. So that the slightest whiff of intellect has them swooning in righteous anger.
*while choosing to ignore some or all of the weird stuff like creationism, floods, virgin births, etc...
"The test case for climate science is just so big, you need a spare planet"
There are some fundamental differences between observational and experimental science, but that doesn't automatically mean the former is invalid or based on 'faith'.
And if you take the argument too far then it starts to sound disturbingly similar to the arguments used by creationists to undermine our theories on the age of the planet and the universe.
Newtonian Mechanics has been proven wrong time and time again, but it still got man to the moon.
Small amounts of evidence against are not the same as being "proven wrong", anyway.
Assuming it is fine to carry on as usual and that nothing will happen with the climate is the faith-based take on this. Attempting to mitigate all possible futures is, by contrast, pragmatism.
(I wish more people would smoke again, then this self-serving anti-science bullshit could be re-directed at the "debate" over whether or not smoking causes lung cancer.)
Sadly, the very question "why" pre-supposes that a meaningful answer even exists. If you assume that, then you're bound to end up talking about god and destiny and all kinds of other nonsense. How about you don't assume that? :)
Science and religion are exclusive because religion picked a fight with science, and science won. If religion still wants to hang out now it's fine as long as it shuts the fuck up.
Yes, Turtle, whereas "people like you", who draw inferences (he has no idea what science is; he takes both Lovelock and Ehrlich seriously) based on scant evidence (15 words) clearly have the utmost respect for scientific method.
And the *reason* you don't care about scientific method, avoiding ad hominems, not jumping to conclusions etc. is that you have an anti-Lovelockian agenda of your own which clearly transcends rationality.
"The test case for climate science is just so big, you need a spare planet, the ability to change the make up of the gases, the types of life on the planet,with control planets to make sure meteriorite impacts and solar output don't skew the results too much, and a few million years to test it over. I don't see them managing that, or any accurate predictions anytime soon, unlike real science that has a lot less unknowns, without any mystic megs in sight."
So there we have it - the "why" that sits behind evolution.
We're just a weather simulation. Douglas Adams was damn close to the mark.
Fair point, nihilistic as it might sound. Instinctively, aesthetically, the idea of wiping out species is abhorrent to us.
... no it isn't - otherwise we'd not have done it ... repeatedly.
My point is not that studying climate change is not science, but that Climate Change (note the capital letters) is not even *about* science. The study of climate change is science; Climate Change, however, is about publicity, fear-mongering, and greed. Believing in Climate Change is taking a step of faith, one based on a disproved model. Granted, assuming the scientists are wrong and polluting to your hearts content is ALSO not science - but not part of my point.
Science has proven that the climate model used by Lovelock is wrong. The predicted outcome, a complete loss of polar ice caps (among other things), has not happened. Therefore, the model is flawed, and requires revision. Science creates and dispels hypothesis every day; that's the entire point. Have an idea, test it, and if it fails, throw it away. But if you "really believe in" something, it's hard to throw it away - it's no longer science, but religion. All the politicians and press going on about the end of the world are basing their beliefs on last years experiment, and are no more following science than the guy who said the rapture would happen last Fall. Or was it Spring...
My point is that the current model ceased being science when it was disproved, but not abandoned. Following a disproved model in the hopes that it may someday but "un-disproved" is faith, not science.
"My point is that the current model ceased being science when it was disproved, but not abandoned."
Then your point is empty since nobody has "disproved" the science. The overwhelming scientific consensus is still very much in favour of the model of man-made climate change:
I'm sorry. Perhaps I wasn't clear. Allow me to use small words so you can more clearly understand:
Yes, no one has disproved the science. But that's not what I'm talking about. The word "model" is not actually interchangeable with the word "science", you see. Regardless of the the truth of the science, if a suggested model is disproved, it should be forgotten. One model that was suggested many years ago said that, among other things, the polar ice caps would melt completely by the year 2010. However, the polar ice caps are intact. Smaller, maybe, but still present. They haven't melted. That means the model was disproved. Meanwhile, the politicians and the press are still referring to the old, wrong, discarded, disproved model(s), adhering to them with religious fervor.
I am not attacking science. I am not attacking scientists. I am not even attacking the science of climate change. I am attacking, for lack of a better word, the Cult of Climate Change - people who would rather spread fear and chaos in their greed, power-grabbing, or just plain ignorance, than actually share useful information.
(I'd avoid the weak attempts at condescension if I were you. I'm a scientist. I'm perfectly comfortable with the concept of a scientific model and its place within the broader scientific process. I even know some long words.)

No. What you are attacking is a straw man.
It does seem to affect scientists badly. Since they are no longer generating data they do tend to grasp for relevance by going for the soundbite. This seems to apply no matter the belief. They all end up more like columnists.
But also someone who earns a living in researching how to save the earth from potential disaster scenario X has a significant interest in playing up the probability and scale of disaster scenario X to ensure that the funding keeps coming .... announcing that disaster scenario X turns out not to be a serious problem and probably would never have happened anyway isn't going to keep a research lab funded! Once they've retired (or perhaps decided that they're not going to get around to writing another book) then they may be able to take a more rounded view on the situation!
There's a difference between scientists spouting off random predictions, and scientists publishing peer-reviewed research. Let's look at some of the past peer-reviewed publications. For example, Jim Hansen's paper on CO2 and climate change from 1981. (Hansen is considered "climate alarmist enemy number 1" by the climate change denial cabal). His predictions from 1981 have been pretty spot-on, actually a little on the LOW side. I think that's pretty remarkable.
Sure, the Earth hasn't been fried yet (and hopefully never will). But 10 years is a blink of an eye in geological time. If Hansen's predictions continue to hold true for the next 30 years, we'll be dealing with some serious consequences.
Is that the same Jim Hansen as this one?
"Within 15 years," said Goddard Space Flight Honcho James Hansen, "global temperatures will rise to a level which hasn't existed on earth for 100,000 years".
The News and Courier, June 17th 1986
Just wondered.
...there's a nice roundup of Hansen's predictions here:
Is it really surprising that if hundreds of people make different predictions one of them turns out to be right? And if 10 years is the blink of an eye (no argument there) 30 years isn't?
Of course, many scaremongers have (very wisely) chosen to make predictions they won't be alive to see happen (or not). Lovelock must be kicking himself.
Ehm... there were many papers with (wildly different) temperature predictions published in 80's (several of them by Hansen -- and no, they are not getting more accurate over time). It is pretty much obvious that some of them would approximately match the reality. Note that this conclusion holds whether any of the papers is correct or not :-)
So his projection overestimated the rise in temperature by 30% and you think that's good!? I could've got closer sacrificing a fucking chicken.
Actually we had quite a long ice age in those last 100 000 years. So the recent temperatures are indeed higher than any since some 100 000 + years. (I am looking at the Wikipedia temperature record, if you want better data, please follow the data trail yourself ).
"Within 15 years," said Goddard Space Flight Honcho James Hansen, "global temperatures will rise to a level which hasn't existed on earth for 100,000 years".
Check, this guy seems to beat the odds again and again!
Selectively choosing data to prove something (someone) false is Bad Science. Get the linked book and stop wasting our time with pointless propaganda.
You are behaving just as bad as the worst offenders on the global warming side of the debate.
Wrong....earth is lucky to have climbed out of one of the coldest periods in the Last 10,000 years, know as the little ice age....in fact 9800+ years have been warmer than today's cooling climate....watch out for sun cycle 24 & 25....predicts a return to Dalton or worse minimums.
"Ehm... there were many papers with (wildly different) temperature predictions published in 80's"
Such as? Give just two examples
"So his projection overestimated the rise in temperature by 30% and you think that's good!? I could've got closer sacrificing a fucking chicken."
You are forgetting that the world could have cooled. In fact climate deniers were still insisting in the early 2000s that the earth hadn't warmed since the 80s.
Hansen's 1980s temperature predictions were remarkably accurate given that no-one else was expecting the world to warm at that time and that global temperature records were only a few years old. The world could have cooled or even stayed flat, but instead it warmed several tenths of a degree over subsequent decades just as Hansen predicted. Hansen's 1988 prediction did overshoot the actual warming trend by about 30%, mainly because Hansen's 1988 climate model was more sensitive than average models today, showing 4.2C warming per doubling of CO2 when today's models show an average of 3C per doubling.
The man not only pioneered climate models, but also global temperature records and was one of the only, if not THE only, person to call the warming that happened back in the 80s. So give him some slack and I recommend taking his warnings about the ongoing CO2 rise seriously.
Note that at no stage did Hansen's work, or the work of any climate scientist (lovelock isn't one) have the Earth boiling up or frying.
I'm not forgetting that the world could've cooled at all. With no prior knowledge of the temperature change then, of course, the probability of the world having cooled is 50%, warmed likewise 50%. With prior knowledge of the fact that the earth had been warming for 100+ years then the probability of it cooling is significantly less than 50% and that of it heating is much greater. It was hardly rocket science to take a punt on warming, now, was it?
The fact of the matter is that he overestimated the magnitude of the warming and it's a fact that this warming ceased to be statistically significant around 14 years ago. Ergo, I would say that Hansen was hardly the Sage of Fucking Omaha, was he?

Litigating in federal courts requires adherence to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. One noteworthy rule is Rule 26 (a)(1), which provides for an initial disclosure of, among other things, the identity of individuals likely to have discoverable information. However, a failure to meet the obligations of that rule could have some serious ramifications, as seen in the recent case of Gen-Probe, Inc. v. Becton Dickson & Co.. There, the court prohibited a witness from testifying at trial because that witness was not identified in the initial disclosures.
Rule 26(a)(1)(A)(i) requires a party to disclose "the name and, if known, address and telephone number of each individual likely to have discoverable information…that the disclosing party may use to support its claims or defenses, unless the use would be solely for impeachment…" The rule also requires that the subject matter of the likely discoverable information be described.
The rule is thus straightforward: Disclose the identity of each person likely to have discoverable information if that person is going to be used to support any claim or defense and then describe the information known to the person.
The rule, however, does not require disclosure of the identity of witnesses that the party does not intend to use. Also, the identity of a witness who has unfavorable information need not be provided in the Rule 26(a)(1)(A)(i) initial disclosures, although that may be required in connection with responses to discovery requests.
The Rule 26(a)(1) initial disclosures generally must be made within 14 days after the parties conduct a Rule 26(f) conference, at which they are to discuss a discovery plan and other matters. The initial disclosures are typically made within 60 to 90 days after the complaint has been filed.
In connection with the initial disclosure, it is important to bear in mind that the disclosure is made based on information that is then reasonably available to the disclosing party. However, as stated in Rule 26(a)(1)(E), a party is not excused from making the initial disclosure because it has not completed a full investigation of the case. Given the relative quickness with which the parties must prepare the initial disclosures, it is incumbent on counsel and their client to conduct a reasonable factual background investigation that addresses the known claims and defenses of that client. The investigation should be designed to identify those individuals who would likely have discoverable information relating to those claims or defenses. Counsel and the client would then consider which of the individuals might be used as witnesses to support any of the claims or defenses. Once counsel has interviewed the potential witnesses, they can prepare the initial disclosure document.
Although it may be desirable to make a complete and thorough initial disclosure at the outset of the case, the realities are that information will surface and people will be identified as the case progresses. Fortunately, Rule 26(e)(1) provides a mechanism by which the initial disclosure may be supplemented. According to that rule, if a party learns that, in a material respect, a Rule 26(a) disclosure is incorrect or incomplete, it must supplement or correct the disclosure.
However, the supplementation/correction approach has a qualifier. If the information that would have been included in the initial disclosure has "otherwise been made known to the other parties during the discovery process or in writing," then the disclosure document does not need supplementation. For example, if an interrogatory response identifies a person and what that person knows about a claim or defense, then there appears to be no need to undertake the task of including that same information in a supplemental disclosure. Indeed, the comments to the 1993 amendments to Rule 26(e) make the point that the "otherwise been made known to" qualifier can include the identification, at a deposition, of a witness not previously identified, as well as in writing, such as an interrogatory response.
This qualifier itself may pose some problems. Because Rule 26(a)(1)(A)(i) requires that the disclosure of the identity of the person have information about a claim or defense and a description of that information, a disclosure that does not meet these requirement does not comport with the rule. Thus, if a person's identity is fronted in a deposition, that alone may be insufficient.
All of this leads to what result that may occur if a party does not meet the requirements of Rule 26(a). As stated in Rule 37(c)(1):
If a party fails to provide information or identify a witness as required by Rule 26(a) or (e), the party is not allowed to use that information or witness to supply evidence on a motion, at a hearing, or at a trial, unless the failure was substantially justified or is harmless.
As seen, Rule 37(c)(1) allows a party to show that the non-disclosure was harmless or was substantially justified under the circumstance. If that showing is not made, then a failure to supplement, or at least provide the Rule 26(a) information in another form, may bar the witness from participating in the case, either as an affiant for summary judgment or other purposes as well as a trial witness. The same holds true for the non-disclosed "information." In addition, Rule 37(c)(1) gives the court the ability to impose sanctions on the non-disclosing party. The sanctions could include informing the jury that the party failed to disclose required information, striking pleadings, entering a default judgment or dismissing claims or defenses, among other things. Obviously, these results could impact the presentation of the non-disclosing party's case, or at least the jury's perception of that party.
The application of Rule 37(c)(1) for a failure to meet the disclosure requirements of Rule 26(e) is found, albeit briefly, in the Gen-Probe case. There, Gen-Probe moved in limine to preclude Becton Dickinson from calling two witnesses. Those witnesses were not identified in Becton's Rule 26(a)(1)(A)(i) disclosures; however, they were identified as potential witnesses after the court ordered the parties to revise the pretrial order. As to the first individual, Becton withdrew him from the witness list. As to the other witness, Becton argued that the delayed disclosure was harmless because the name of that witness and his role in the company was disclosed in discovery. However, Becton did not attempt to explain or justify the delayed disclosure. On this basis, the court excluded that witness.
Practice Tips
The Gen-Probe case underscores the steps that should be part of any trial work-up. These are:
1. Investigate the facts and determine those individuals who may be presented to support a claim or defense. Identify those individuals and describe the information they have that relates to the claims or defenses in the initial disclosures.
2. As interrogatory responses are prepared that name other individuals, determine whether those people may be presented as a witness and, if so, include a description of the information they possess and their contact information, consistent with Rule 26(a)(1) in the interrogatory response. Otherwise, update the Rule 26(a)(1) disclosures.
3. As depositions are taken and other individuals are identified, revisit the initial disclosures and interrogatory responses and determine whether to update one or.
4. As the discovery cut-off date approaches, do another review of the initial disclosures and interrogatory responses and supplement as needed to ensure that the Rule 26(a)(1) requirements are met.
Undertaking these simple steps of continued review and updating should go a long way to ensuring that the necessary witnesses who will support a claim or defense will not be stricken and other sanctions will not be levied.

Turning heads Saturday night at Soldier Field was a dynamic former South Carolina star high school quarterback who reminded Notre Dame why it should think national title the way everybody used to when the Irish played Miami.
Yeah, Tony Rice was there too.
Rice, the last Notre Dame quarterback to win it all in 1988, shook hands and granted interviews shown on the Jumbotron as alums reminisced over Chicago's ACC team renewing its regular-season rivalry with Miami. But for the first time in what looks like a special season, current Notre Dame quarterback Everett Golson did things worthy of comparison to the man he shares more with than a home state.

They're no longer just a boy band — as of Friday, March 15, Mindless Behavior are now movie stars. Their debut film, All Around The World, opens in theaters nationwide today on the heels of the release of their second album earlier this week.
"All Around The World is a documentary film about how we got together. It leads up to us winning [at] the BET Awards and it shows our personal side in Mindless Behavior," Roc Royal said in an interview with Radio.com. "People usually see where you're doing business, but this time you get to see the inner part of Mindless Beeavior."
"We wanted to really push that because, like he was saying, when you see artists you usually seen them on on television shows [and] awards shows," Ray Ray continued. "We show us in concert, but we also show the hard work that we go through, the personal problems and things like that. You might see us cry in the movie."
The doc gives a real sense of who each of the individual members are, incorporating footage from before the guys even joined Mindless Behavior. From Princeton's parade of rock t-shirts and Roc Royal's penchant for glasses, to Prodigy's tearful breakdown and Ray Ray's natural affinity for dance, the film manages to highlight the real guys.

Discussion in 'Ride Reports - Day Trippin'' started by Signal, Sep 20, 2010.
Wow, WOw,WOW EXCELLENT>
More great shots, Signal! Thank you for sharing.
Hey Sig
I Was going joke with ya and rough you up and sight all the dust and dirt, but ....
We might be all green up here, but the leaves are turning color, and could soon mean the white stuff we call snow will be falling and I'll be sitting, wishing, and you'll still be riding !
I Just love your pics of all that beautiful, wonderful, dusty dirt roads .....
My wife took most of the pics today, SHe does well- that cannon powershot hangs on a lanyard around her neck
The dirt kinda sucked today- SHe was holing on tight a few times-- most of the pics are from relatively smooth areas- the dry fall has left the roads really beat (in this case from cattle trucks as well)
Had my first day off in a couple weeks- and the weather was spectacular , upper 60's, lower 70's on Halloween :huh...
Went north through Cache Valley, farms and fields, into southern Id
Near Benson
Benson Marina- the most water I'd see all day, been a dry summer
Heavy J Cash rotation on the ipod today , seemed to fit
Newton Dam- Usually has some big tiger muskie, but I've no idea how they are fairing with the low water
Busted into Spudland- a new sign
From Dayton Id, cut west through the Caribou Natl Forest on Hwy 36- and excellent curvy 22 miles to Malad
In Malad, had a Pepsi and cliff bar, played some scratch off lotto tickets
Won 15 bucks . Talked to a couple older guys eating at the ubiquitous fast food place in the Chevron...Good stuff.
Flew low, returned essentially the same way-
Great few hours
Thanks for keepin up
Another Wednesday off-
Snowbasin, gonna get more later this week...
East Canyon res
Up over Big Mountain
Escaped for 4 hours
Ah.....my backyard. I recognize the exact location of every photo. I'm jealous. I was sitting here today looking at the beautiful weather thinking I should cut out of work early and go lay down some miles on the 950. Looks like you had the right idea. Good for you.
Thanks, was a good few hours- the weather has got me almost believing in global warming
the low water at every lake and pond has got me concerned
Passed a few riders going north over 66/65, and the ubiquitous Unified police SUV on the Emigration side
Aaahhh......endless Utah, thanks for making me jealous again!!!
What a beauty day to blow off some steam midweek.
No question, Wednesdays off works out well
Yup- the cold stuff is commin, should hit us on friday, in colorado by sat/sun...
No cold white stuff
Just cool and dry, dry, DRY...
...And, a huge lotto thing. So, I flew low up to Malad to buy a few loosing tickets.
Pulled into the Chevron/Burger King (75 miles in about 50 minutes ) and saw this-
Parked off to the side
Took about 45 minutes to get through the line.
Several remarked that I had passed them in their pilgrimage
Went home through Caribou Natl Forest and Logan-
Here's to the winning numbers
Good luck with your numbers! Let us know if you win . . .
Looks like good times. Weston canyon is great I ride a lot of single track on either side of that highway--a couple minutes from home and a lot of fun.
Love seeing your updates
No joy....
Thanks Gents. Has been great riding weather
I apologize for commenting going back so far in your RR. Could somebody clear something up for me. The Native Americans never had the use of horses until the Spanish came here, or so I have been taught. However, on Newspaper Rock you can clearly see a depiction of a person sitting atop a horse with a bow and arrow. So either the historians are wrong about the natives not using horses until the Spanish came, or those carvings (I have never seen them, I assume they are carvings) are not as ancient as people think that they are. Perhaps they might be 400 years old instead of 1200 years or older like I have read. If anybody can shed some light on this, please feel free to send me a private message. Once again Signal, I apologize for commenting on your RR that is two years old. Truly awesome pictures, and I thank you for posting them.
the one benefit of living in a lottery state - no lines here - every gas station and deli has a lotto machine :) it was a good excuse for a ride tho !
Geez that Chevron in Malad has become a regular stop for Mrs. Samthg & I on visits to my M.I.L., who now lives in Bigfork, Mt. Just stopped in there 3 weeks ago coming and going. We stayed at the Hampton in Lehi, which is a pretty good halfway point. Not sure if you know of the joint, but we had a pleasant surprise by eating at a place next door called JCW's Restaurant.
Wishin' continued good riding weather on ya! Always enjoy your thread, thanks.
Alcanrider, the petroglyphs started around 2000 years ago and continued until the early 20th century. That's why horses are there. I like the one with Santa Claus and his reindeer.
I might get sucked in
Many thanks- know all the above. That JCWs is pretty good, have stopped there post Cabelas trips
