Slightly off topic but I suddenly realized today that whining about taxes is STUPID, and that the reason it is so unitelligent is because the BULK of US Citizens failed to play the game right when they entered the work force at around eighteen years old. I certainly didn't plan thats my fault, and m...

Bloodstone I'm about as far left and anti-authoritarian as anyone can get and still be believe in having a government. :) But please pick a few parts you don't like and let me know which ones (the numbers help). I realize the ammunition issue will probably be the most vexing for most people, yet I d...

I spend way too much time thinking about politics and solutions. A while back I came up with an extensive political platform that I've revised. While I will NEVER run for office (I hope). I do think some of these ideas are worth thinking about and sharing. The first thing I must say is I support the...

I would posit the hypothesis (through research pre-Christian winter traditions) that though many people have not heard of this group I am of the opinion that LBK (Linear Pottery Culture) is the basis for most of European (and American) cultural traditions as well as the Kurgan Mound Builders.

One nice thing about real stats is they tend to confirmable and testable. But Federal Aid to the poor is something that MUST remain.

My opinion of Obama.... It isn't good. Over 300 Rightwing decisions have been made by Obama that completely alienate him from the Leftwing. The CPUSA's support of him in 2008 was misguided and motivated by the politics of fear, Obama is not a Socialist, and certainly not a Communist he is for all in...

I think it VERY IMPORTANT to clarify something about EXECUTIVE ORDERS. These laws are NOT Presidential Edicts that just get written into law. These are Bills that are sent to Congress by the President, IF Congress Passes Them OR Fails to Vote on them within an allotted time period they become Law, I...

The best way to describe the X-37B, The fact IMHO is this thing is really just a small unmanned multirole starfighter/payload delivery system, Unmanned Combat Oribital Vehicle (UCOV). It can deliver small satellites to orbit, throw up a bunch of anti-sat ball bearings into orbit paths, or even deliv...

BTW For those of you who forgot how to find True North in the Northern Hemisphere like Egypt is in. You just watch the stars in the night sky and look for the one that does not move every night. Aligning after that is just sticks and thread. Back before television watching the night sky was entertai...
