About the Future

One if the huge concerns I have had since the advent of the current war with Islam is that we will take our focus off from building a better future that includes a colonization of space. Consider the following scenario: Suppose that we were told tomorrow that the earth would be struck by an asteroid just ¼ mile in diameter. Would the governments (especially the ones that are the most paranoid) put aside their suspicions of one another long enough to do something constructive like make sure that the asteroid swung into orbit around the earth?


Consider the wealth that such an object would have V=4/3πr^3 which translates to 220 yards cubed times pi times 4/3 or more iron than the whole world uses in several decades if the asteroid were (as most of them are) mostly iron. And that doesn’t get into the possibility of rare earths like gold and platinum or that the whole thing could be hollowed out and reinforced to be used to transport a large quantity of supplies for a mission to Mars.

To be honest the continued fight over this ball of mud is frightening to the max and I sometimes want to simply crawl back in a cave and say please leave me alone. But I cannot and neither should you. If you value your children’s future then somehow we must win this war by making Islam come into the century where they can no longer be a closed and xenophobic society. They too must see that fighting over Israel is counterproductive to their children’s future.

Because the longer we fight over the earth or any part thereof, the longer it takes us to reach space where there is room enough for everyone to live the way they want to live…

Wheels


Rolling….

             Rolling…

Wheels keep the world rolling,

A wheel seems to be,

A simple thing,

Yet can you imagine,

A world without wheels?

Is Democracy a bad idea?

Those who tout the idea that democracy is desirable or leads to desirable results seem to like to sweep under the rug the fact that Hitler was elected by the democratic process. Therefore if democracy can result in evil men reaching the pinnacle of power in their nation what shall we say? That democracy is undesirable? Actually we can. The Greeks who were the first westerners to study such things as governments (so far as I know) considered democracy to be a degenerate form of government at best. They much preferred the idea of the republic though that has been corrupted a great many times to by not limiting the power of the government.


The founding fathers of the USA believed that any government was at best a necessary evil to be kept as small and as weak as possible and still maintain a relatively consistent society. The absence of government leads to chaos and the usual end of chaos is tyranny. The ever expanding and overreaching government today has but one end as well: Tyranny!

Indeed it is possible if one looks with an honest eye over the history of the human race to see that liberty and freedom is the anomaly not slavery and tyranny.

Thank you

To all the people who follow my blog and visit my blog.... I am rather new at this so I don't quite know how to reply to your comments. However let me assure you that your presence here is noted and appriciated!

Random thoughts

Every organization needs overseers to make sure that it doesn’t become corrupt. The moment any organization (this includes government) refuses to allow someone or anyone to see what it is doing it is on the way to becoming a corrupt organization. What is worse is that the more power an organization has (think government) the more opportunity exists for its members to be corrupt.


One thing that has worried me of late is the fact that the current administration of the United States of America has refused to let any light shine in on what it is actually doing. We can however see the results of their actions. And they tend to lead a person to believe that the current administration believes Marx’ theory of revolution for the sake of revolution. One thing that is certain is this, most people will demand an end to the chaos and the usual end of this sort of chaos it the rise of a tyrant.

Therefore it is worth asking: Who will emerge on top if we do not weather the chaos and refuse to be intimidated by the noisy and violent people who support the change that the current administration wants.

marketing...

So what do I do about internet marketing… by this I mean how do I drive traffic to my blog or web page if I market goods or services via the internet? That is a tough question to which I have no answers that are simple. Some things that anyone can do is study the tags and tag their posts to help bring in search engine hits.


Some people suggest paying a SEO company to help in getting to the top of search engines but to me and for a great number of people out there who are blogging or selling a product that is probably wasted money… if you use social networking like facebook or myspace there is a chance that if you have a large fan or friend base that you will begin to have larger numbers of hits on your commercial page if you keep plugging it there so that friend who visit your page will see the commercial venture as well.
