Surfing the Saturnalian winds

Ride the wild surf Surfing on the winds of Saturn gale force laughter as the tiny button sized sun gives off a wan light Earth robots flung far and wide on the mathematical formulas of gravity, momentum, and mass Astronauts and cosmonauts men and women- brave and armed with inquisitive minds trained and trained in muscle and brain memorization for any event Surf the towering ammonia clouds as 300 hundred mile per hour winds buffet the titanium impregnated carbon fiber boards Core rope memory hand woven by the fingers of diligent women is the software that is permanently incorruptible In eternal silence but within the bowels of the spacecraft are the sounds of human embraced machinery eternally vigilant Their frail carbon carasses encased in micro sized fullerene suits as nano reflectors gather light to see the whip sawing eddies Old tech is hardened Against the pulses of light speed gamma waves Protons merely bounce off the bundled, millimeter thick wires To slice and evade this Saturnalian wildness as those three weary one by one they fall by the wayside preserved by short burst qubit communications Space is but a knowable frontier to surf not the least knowable world but we, humans, want to measure ourselves

'Free Trade': The Elites Are Selling It But The Public Is Longer Buying

'Free Trade': The Elites Are Selling It But The Public Is Longer Buying



TPP and other "free trade" agreements are a losing deal for workers and nations.  What is happening is that multi national conglomerates have figured out a way to bamboozle politicians into ceding a nation's national interest for voodoo economic theory.

Relevant metrics show that the USA democracy is in serious trouble because of the corrupting influence of money and the human desire of greed.



Occupy showed that the rule of law is but the iron fist of armed might.  Ferguson, MO showed that the law enforcement machine in the US has now been militarized and has to will to suppress any dissent.





What can we, the average Joe and Jane, do?

The Adjunct Revolt: How Poor Professors Are Fighting Back - Yahoo Finance

The Adjunct Revolt: How Poor Professors Are Fighting Back - Yahoo Finance



When post secondary institutions use the business model for their educational mission then the management will see their employees as only widgets that can be easily replaced because low wages means high turnover.  It doesn't matter that a individual has spent ten years to get a master and doctorate degrees.  For the new CEO-MBA style university president it is the bottom line of making money that trumps the "educational mission" of the university.



Unionize or die in your harness!

The religious right will let us go back to Fred Flintstone time rather then actually have our nation be the technological and science leadership for the 21st century.

Coburn: Medicare and Social Security 'Are Things We Don't Absolutely Need' | Video Cafe

Republicans want to put grandma back into a life of poverty.  The whole purpose of Social Security is to have seniors live in dignity.

Remember Social Security has a separate revenue stream that is not a part of the federal budget and that the maximum amount is 2200 USD/month.

Remember that Medicare is for seniors to live healthy lives not in pain and disease.  It is Republicans that created Medicare Part D that does not allow Medicare to use the economics of scale to bring down prescription drug costs down.

A Health Insurance Detective Story - NYTimes.com

This is the dilemma of having bureaucracy in for profit health insurance running the show.  I am reminded of Bob aka Mr. Incredible working as a bureaucrat at an insurance company, from the film "The Incredibles", under a tyrannical boss.  Another film that comes to mind is the Terry Gilliam classic "Brazil".

Mitt Romney Massachusetts Budget Targeted Programs For Poor, Disabled

Mitt will do this to the nation at large as to what he tried to do under his governorship- cut for the poor and give to the rich.  There was no bipartisanship when he tried ram through his ideological based budget cuts.  The Democratic led legislature over rode over 100 vetoes by Romney that directly affected the poorest, the youth, veterans, and those that need mental health care.

Make sure that your local media is made aware of the fact that there was no "bipartisanship" to cut the services that those in need most under Governor Romney's term.
