It's a strange universe in here!

Does anyone really think that all of the information about this universe we live in is already known? To declare the truth of the matter to be one way, or the other, indicates a severely closed mind on the subject. I will admit that the evidence does appear to be slim to non-existent, but the same kinds of problems happen all of the time in various fields, like High Energy Physics, and they don't just throw their hands in the air and claim that they know all of the answers because they have found none. The question of whether we are alone in the universe has not been answered yet. Scientist's are researching and spending billions on the search for life on other planets...why, if there is nothing out there would we even try? Answering a question this profound will test the ultimate claim of humanity, and that question is...are we intelligent?

In a world without words nothing does not exist!

Change always takes time but change is not time itself. The perception of now is fundamental to observation. Language is fundamental to perception.The language of observation is the language of change because observation, even the observation of no change, takes time. The end of time wouldn't even allow for total entropy to exist. Without time, no observation can be made. Without observation, no time would be created and entropy does, indeed, come to us via the wonders of observation.  What also comes via observation, as we observe ourselves using language.
You will not understand gravity until you understand time, You cannot understand time until you understand observation.
The body is going to die, but the material it is composed of is never going to cease to exist. At least its constituent matter will continue on in some way. Is this a measure of immortality?
Many folks seem to think that without language, nothing would exist, but because nothing is a word, and a part of language, without language the observation of nothing could not exist.

US politician's love Israel

Israel and the US against the world! It sure seems that way sometimes. Can Israel do anything wrong in the eyes of the powerful politician's in the US  (it does not look like it)? If it were put to a vote, I am quite sure the senate and the House would gladly, and instantly, with an overwhelming majority, vote Netanyahu in as president and throw Obama, and the American people, under the wheels of the oligarch's bus. (they have already accomplished the latter half)  The US military has become the body guard of the Israeli, right wing, nut jobs! The American people need to see what their country is doing  through the eyes of the rest of the people of the world. We, the people, need that feedback to keep our nation a democracy, and stop its terrorizing of the rest of the world.
Many of the problems of our world have been caused by the US interfering in other people's business.

Global warming is all of us!

Wasn't it President Obama who, during the campaign, admitted to having built enough pipeline to circle the globe? Hasn't he opened up the Arctic to drilling, even though the oil giants are having trouble with the hostile environment. Has Obama taken nuclear power off of the table as an alternative? Isn't it true that he is still touting the economic and environmental gains promised by 'clean coal'? Which, by the way, does not exist! Which direction are we moving as far as completing the 'Tar Sands' go...just ask Bill McKibben. Global warming...Climate change, call it what you will, is a fact we are going to have to deal with. Global warming is not Obama's fault, any more than it is your fault or mine; it is all of our faults..together, and together is how we will make it better or worse. The buck should stop, when it comes to global warming, on everybody's desk that is in the least bit responsible for it. Global warming/climate change is a global problem that will not be dealt with appropriately by blaming the other. We are all in this together!

America feels like a third world country to me when I consider the great gap between those who live in poverty and the wealthy and powerful few. You would think that the wealthy and the government they run would consider the people who inhabit this world with them as human also, as worthy of aid.
After Katrina, which destroyed the old city of New Orleans, we have had Irene, and super storm Sandy, and who knows what kind of weather will descend upon us next? The East coast of the US has been destroyed by these storms. Should the rest of the country not escape the crush of climate change, will we even have a continent to live on, or just a bunch of islands surrounding the largest, and most toxic, waste dump ever seen on the planet?

Goodbye, forever, green planet earth, in your glory you ruled the heavens.
finally your time has come to die!
In my mind you're alive,
I'll remember
the blue green of life that you spread around.
I promise green earth
I will not forget.
At least until I'm dead.

1st off, let it be known, if it is not already well understood, that Republicans cannot react rationally to anything. Since the evidence we need to choose a candidate has devolved to guessing, based on which one has promised the most, and lied the least (we hope); and what we guess, and what they promise, are thrown out with the bathwater after the election, how can we ever rationally predict what these paid for examples of criminal negligence are going to deliver..if anything at all but mayhem? When you see the bridge you are on is collapsing, you either do something about it, or go down with the structure that didn't support you. Our election system puts the very monsters in office, in the very positions we complain about, because the wealthy have control of it. Either we fix it and start dealing with the issues, as a nation, or....more and more of the stupidity and lawlessness we have seen displayed so far will grace our news programs!

Union Busting every where!

This is what we can expect when ever we try to form a union. It is going to remain this way until we can get the union busting republican/tea party, the crazy mad hatters, out of office; or at least in the minority. Because we have an anti union federal government right now, the law is easily used by union busters, and illegal employer actor's, to harass and intimidate workers trying to improve wages and working conditions. This is a direct result of corporate laws making it impossible for the corporations themselves to allow workers rights. They have rigged the game against the workers and the consumers. We need to get rid of corporate law before it destroys us. These corporations must be made to exist for other things besides profits, like being good for the environment and the workers! Corporations have written their laws to be above the laws we made for ourselves, and above the reasons we founded this country, which is why those corporate laws are doing so much damage to our nation and our environment.
Last night, Mitt Romney said he was going to turn this company around. Is he going to fire all of us in order to do it?
