Trump Executive Order Hurts Aviation Safety and Jobs

The trump is trampling on ground that is near and dear to my heart, commercial aircraft safety. I was an aircraft professional for over 35 years. Safety is something the vast majority of aircraft professionals take seriously, damn seriously. We know what's at stake. Remember that time half the roof of a Hawaiian Airlines Boeing 737 ripped off, sucking a stewardess out to never be seen again, and causing the aircraft to make an emergency landing? An airworthiness directive was initiated.

Hawaiian Airlines Boeing 737 

How about the time an Alaska Airlines MD-83 crashed into the Pacific Ocean about 2.7 miles (4.3 km) north of Anacapa Island, California, after suffering a catastrophic loss of pitch control. An airworthiness directive was initiated. Those are just two examples of when an airworthiness directive was initiated because of an unknown design flaw or other problem being discovered the hard way. Many times An airworthiness directive is initiated because a mechanic, pilot or other professional aircraft personal discover a problem before it takes anyone's life.

People who work on aircraft have a saying. "You do your job in such a way that you would have no fear if your own mother were on board that craft." Safety is the #1 concern, then everything else comes next. That not only goes for the person with hands on the aircraft, but the people who are on the ground too. That brings to mind Pacific Southwest Airlines (PSA) Flight 182 that collided with a private Cessna 172 over San Diego. Both aircraft crashed into North Park, a San Diego neighborhood. Flight 182 impacted just north of the intersection of Dwight and Nile, killing all 135 people aboard the aircraft and seven people on the ground in houses, including two children. I remember that because I was in college there and seen the smoke billowing up. My brother and I rushed from school because we thought it crashed into our house! It didn't, but never the less we seen the aftermath. Let me tell you something. It's not something you ever want to see. At the time it was the deadliest plane crash in U.S. aviation history. When is the last time you looked up and seen a commercial aircraft flying over your head?

Pacific Southwest Airlines (PSA) Flight 182 

My specialty was aircraft structures. I was even honored with the post of Chairman of the Department Safety Committee when working for Lockheed. I take this very personally. The trump is not only endangering all of us with his idiotic and unthinking action, he is effecting jobs in the aviation industry too! Take the example of the Alaska Airlines MD-83 that crashed into the Pacific Ocean. That was caused by the jack screw in the tail of the aircraft. Every last MD-83 in the fleet was required to have work done to it to correct the problem due to the issuance of an airworthiness directive. The same goes for the Hawaiian Airlines Boeing 737 I mentioned. All Boeing 737's were required to undergo an extensive structural modification to correct the problem. All of that means people are working fixing the problem. I myself worked much overtime on Boeing 737's doing the modification. We were saving people's lives and making a living at the same time.

You know what the trump said about the "so-called" judge who blocked his emigration order. He said that if anyone is hurt because of it to blame the judge. I say the same of trump. If one drop of precious Human blood is shed because of an airworthiness directive not issued, that blood is on his hands. The terrible truth of the matter is, that blood could be your own mother's blood.

The trump is a fool! Me MUST be removed before he causes the death of many people. #trumpmustberemoved

We Must Have Uniform Party Rules and Election Laws

Some Democrats believe that Bernie Sanders "should never have been allowed to run for the democratic party nomination". I disagree with that notion. Any person who registers with a political party has a right to run for any government office or party position from day one, and that should never be disallowed. If the voters don't want them, they will not vote for them. It should never be up to party officials to dictate who may or may not run for a post. That should be left up to the people the party serves.

Which brings up a point about how the political parties are run. After every election the parties rules committees meet and tweek their rules in an effort to gain advantage over the other. They gerrymander using positions of power gained and scheme trying their best to either maintain an advantage or create advantage over the other parties. In the end it is the voter who really loses out.

I understand the people's anxieties about the election process. The process doesn't serve them very well, so why should they get all excited about it? The process is rigged from the start. No wonder too. The same criminal politicians who are funded by rogue corporations are the same people who write the rules of the game.

One major reason, other than gaining advantage over the opposing political parties, is to keep the voter from gaining any political power in the party. They must only be allowed to vote for the candidate of the parties choice, nothing more.

The Democratic Party failed the people when they tried to shove Clinton down people's throats, and lost the whole thing because of it. I seen the shoving down our throats and scheming when I was a delegate in the Democratic Party of New Mexico. So that's what happens when a political party does not heed the wishes of the people. People stay home and don't vote, or they break ranks and vote outside their party because of apathy, mistrust, anger or other things that indicate a basic lack of trust in our democratic system.

There is only one thing that will restore trust in our system. We must dismantle that system, and replace it with one that serves the people and not just industry, corporations and the wealthy elite. The way to do that is to take away the power to make party rules from the political parties. Take away the power from the states to make election laws. Turn over these powers over to the federal government, namely the Federal Election Commission.

The states and the political parties have proven they can not be trusted with these vital functions. Time and again their malfeasance has shown through in spectacular fashion, and to the detriment of the avarage citizen. Allow the FEC the power to enforce uniform party rules and uniform election laws. Throw out the various party rule books, and replace them all with one rule book that all parties must follow. Disallow the states making election laws, and have uniform election laws that all states must follow. That is the only way to restore faith in the system. There was a time when the avarage citizen wasn't even allowed to vote for the president at all. The political parties have tried to keep it that way through all the scheming.

There is precedence for such actions as taking away the power of these parties and the states. Up until recently all former Confederate States had to have all election laws reviewed before they were instituted to insure they did not violate the Constitution. Once that provision was thrown out, malfeasance became rampant. Vote tampering, suppression and other tactics designed to give power over to some at the expense of others became the new norm, or should I say the old way restored. So people stayed home.

Our nation's people should void these party rule books in favor of one designed to be uniform across all parties, and that book must truly be one that hands all power over to the masses. Then our people will have power over the parties, and not the other way around. "People before Party" should be the new norm. The people should rule the parties, and not the other way around.

A Portion of Dog Meat for the Supporters of Trump, then Enslavement

Since the election of Donald J Trump to the presidency of the world's most powerful nation, a lot of people have been living in fear. On the other side of the coin are the people who are elated over the development. Some people are crying real tears because Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders failed to gain that high office. Accusations of voter fraud, lies and a host of other bad blood items as made this last election cycle the most contentious in United States history.

A lot of things caused us to get to the point we find ourselves in today. The worst part of it is, none of it is anything new! We are experiencing the methods refined through centuries of practise, and handed down for many generations. The anti-vaxxer movement, the police brutality, the confiscation of lands, the wealthy people's habit of ignoring human rights, all of it and more are something that goes back to the Roman empire and further.

For instance, the anti-vaxxer movement predates the revolutionary war. Smallpox was one of the most feared diseases in the 18th century. A high percentage of those infected died; many who survived were blinded or badly disfigured. Consequently, inoculation often encountered fear and opposition. Thomas Jefferson was an early advocate of smallpox inoculation. He traveled to Philadelphia at age 23 to undergo an inoculation. In many colonies the procedure was discouraged, and in some even outlawed. When the procedure was brought to Norfolk County, Virginia, in 1768 and again in 1769, it provoked riots on both occasions. Dr. Archibald Campbell, whose house had been burned as a result of the inoculations carried out there was defended by Thomas Jefferson, who then was practicing law. He had became involved when he agreed to defend victims of the Norfolk riots.

That is an example of how far back that tradition of opposition to vaccines go. That is nothing compaired to the desgusting tradition the Trump administration carries out. His methods go back a couple thousand years. As far as I can tell these methods of power got honed to a razor edge by the Roman Empire. Their campaigns of conquest, the enslavement of whole populations and their brutal disregard for human life has been carried on to this very day.

Look what was done to the people of Britannia. When the Roman armies of conquest plowed a trail of blood through those lands, they came with a smile and a gift. Comply and they would provide so-called protection. Defy them, and they would provide a blood letting. They would provide loans of gold, or other things. Then call in those loans at the worst possible time. If the people couldn't pay up, the payment was extracted by enslavement. Keep the Romans happy in their enjoyment of blood sport in the arenas in Rome by handing over their youth. If the persons were not handed over, the Romans took them at the point of a sword.

Examine Boudica, the warrior Queen of the Iceni. Boudica's husband Prasutagus ruled as a nominally independent ally of Rome and left his kingdom jointly to his daughters and the Roman emperor in his will. However, when he died, his will was ignored, and the kingdom was annexed. According to Tacitus, Boudica was publicly flogged and her daughters raped. Because of that outrage, Boudica led the Iceni, the Trinovantes, and others in revolt. They destroyed Camulodunum (modern Colchester), earlier the capital of the Trinovantes but at that time a colonia, a settlement for discharged Roman soldiers and site of a temple to the former Emperor Claudius. Boudica then led 100,000 Iceni, Trinovantes, and others to fight Legio IX Hispana, and burned and destroyed Londinium and Verulamium (modern-day St Albans). An estimated 70,000–80,000 Romans and British were killed in the three cities by those led by Boudica. In the end she and her armies were defeated by the might of the Roman method.

Skip ahead a few centuries and we look at Sir William Wallace and King Edward I of England. Many people know the story of Braveheart, and the murder of his wife. Many people have seen the movie starring Mel Gibson who depicts him. This was another instance of the Roman method applied to a bloody conclusion.

In colonial America this method of enslavement was an integral cog in the machine of colonial conquest. We all know the fate of millions of Africans. Without regard for their personhood, they were kidnapped, transported across the Atlantic ocean, and put under the yoke of slavery. All in the name of profit, luxury and power for the few at the expense of the many. The Roman method at work.

Few people know it, but there were a great number of white slaves during those times. The African slave trade was only a part of the Roman way applied here. King James II and Charles I also led a continued effort to enslave the Irish. Britain’s famed Oliver Cromwell furthered this practice of dehumanizing one’s next door neighbor. Sound familiar?

The Irish slave trade began when 30,000 Irish prisoners were sold as slaves to the New World. The King James I Proclamation of 1625 required Irish political prisoners be sent overseas and sold to English settlers in the West Indies. By the mid 1600s, the Irish were the main slaves sold to Antigua and Montserrat. At that time, 70% of the total population of Montserrat were Irish slaves.

Ireland quickly became the biggest source of human livestock for English merchants. The majority of the early slaves to the New World were actually white. During the 1650s, over 100,000 Irish children between the ages of 10 and 14 were taken from their parents and sold as slaves in the West Indies, Virginia and New England. In this decade, 52,000 Irish (mostly women and children) were sold to Barbados and Virginia. Another 30,000 Irish men and women were also transported and sold to the highest bidder. In 1656, Cromwell ordered that 2000 Irish children be taken to Jamaica and sold as slaves to English settlers.

Many people today will avoid calling the Irish slaves what they truly were: Slaves. They’ll come up with terms like “Indentured Servants” to describe what occurred to the Irish. However, in most cases from the 17th and 18th centuries, Irish slaves were nothing more than human cattle.

I have a good reason for going on about the Scottish and the Irish, all the descendants of the Celts. The reason is, Trump and his supporters. Look at the people who support Trump. You can see for yourself that the majority of them look to be from Celtic stock. So why in the hell would they support a man who employs the same barbaric tactics of the Roman method so skillfully employed to enslave and murder their ancestors? How about a heavy dose of cultural genocide? That might work to erase some memories. The British have a long history of cultural genocide, which was imported and used against the native inhabitants of the American continent as well.

The descendants of African slaves and native people at least remember the sickening plight of their ancestors. They need to keep on remembering, and fighting back too! In large part they, and to some lesser degree all the rest of us are still slaves, economic slaves. We all suffer under the Roman method.

Trump employs that method to horrific result. A case in point is the Aberdeen Golf Course he and his traitorous lackeys in government forced upon peaceful people there in Scotland. Look at the history of that event and you will see a striking similarity in method to the methods Trump employs today. A method I've described here in previous paragraphs, the Roman method. A total disregard for the rights of people who have been living there for many generations. The outright stealing of land, the lies, the brutality and government collusion, just like what happened all throughout the history of the Scottish people, starting with the Roman invasion.

Now we have this Trump as president. A person who employs all of the Roman method. View this film "You've Been Trumped" (2011) The Real Donald Trump - The Aberdeen, Scotland Golf Course and you will hear him say and do many of the things he says and does today. Calling people "pigs", dehumanizing people, lying and having a total disregard for other people and their way of life. He has fast tracked the Roman method in the first few days of his administration. The Republican and the Democratic party too employed the Roman method, but with Trump it has been put on steriods. Just like with the emperors of ancient Rome, King Edward I of England, King James II, Charles I, Oliver Cromwell, colonial America, southern slavery and Jim Crow, this method of enslavement and servitude is carried on.

I mentioned the Trump supporters apparently seeming to be largely from Celtic stock. Unlike the African descendants and the indigenous people of America, they have forgotten their past. That makes for a very dangerous situation. These descendants of slaves have fully given themselves over to the very people who enslave them. They have unwittingly bought into the lies and deceit lock, stock and barrel! It will all be to their detriment too! Remember Boudica, and the betrayal of the Iceni. Remember the betrayal of Sir William Wallace by his own people who were bought off with promises of power and wealth. Remember the betrayal of the people of Aberdeen by their own people in government because of empty promises made by Trump. You better remember it all, or you all will be damned, just like your celtic ancestors.

The people better wake up. This is serious in the extreme! We are witnessing the further enslavement of Humans by the Roman method. If these supporters of Trump do not come out of the fog of a forgotten past, one day they will wake up to their enslavement. I hope the people who remember the atrocities committed on their ancestors, and are still being committed against them will help to wake up these sleeping partners of the Roman method.

Shake them and wake them all up. Make them remember their terrible past. Also make them remember the retribution of the Visigoths led by King Alaric. The Romans treated the Visigoths very badly too! All Alaric really wanted was land on which his people could settle and an accepted place within the empire, which the authorities in Ravenna would not give him. Instead they would trade them dog meat in exchange or children to make into slaves. That led to the sacking of Rome. On August 24, 410, the Visigoths entered Rome, after starving the inhabitants under siege, through its Salarian Gate, according to some opened by treachery, according to others by want of food, and pillaged the city for three days. The mother country, and so called light of the world, was no more. Then ensued the long 500 years Dark Ages.

Wake up, you sons and daughters of slaves. WAKE UP, damn you, or be satisfied with the enslavement of your children and a portion of dog meat.

Bernie Sanders Rebuild America Act Will Fail

Respectfully U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders, even though your plan Rebuild America Act is in large part good, it is lacking in one vital area. An area that will eventually cause it to fail.

Say we do put $1 trillion or even an unlimited amount of money into rebuilding the infrastructure. "...Rebuild America Act will support more than thirteen million good-paying jobs – jobs that our economy desperately needs." your website proclaims.

My problem with this is, it is not an open ended plan. There will come a time in the future that the infrastructure rebuilding will be caught up. If successfully completed, all of our infrastructure will have been fixed and upgraded. After that point in time, 13 million people will not be needed to maintain and do further upgrades to the infrastructure. So what happens then? People start getting laid off that's what happens. When half of the 13 million are laid off, we're going to be back in the same position we are today. Millions of idle hands with nothing to do, and no future.

That's why I call on our nation to institute a massive drive to build the 21st Century Infrastructure. An infrastructure that would extend the Human presence beyond this planet, and provide for an open ended program of expansion. Such a program would be continually need to add people, not lay them off.

Create 34 million jobs by investing $16 trillion over 10 years towards rebuilding our crumbling roads, bridges, railways, airports, public transit systems, ports, dams, wastewater plants, and other infrastructure needs. By reopening shutdown manufacturing plants, retooling existing factories for civilization expansion purposes. A program would be created to make a national priority effort to place solar energy collection grids in orbit around the Earth to beam energy to our people. A powerful effort would be made to colonize the moon and Mars. We will continue the push to harvest asteroids for their precious metals and other resources, and accelerate that effort and elevating it to a national priority project.

I know the first question people ask. "Where do we get $16 trillion?" Here's where. The $16 trillion used in the 2008 financial crisis to give the banks too big to fail and Wall Street criminals another chance to gamble with your deposits is enough money to fund 91 Apollo programs from start to finish, and at the same time. I think that kind of investment would have been better for you and me than bailing out the likes of Citibank.

Our civilization has problems that are becoming a threat to the Human species survival. Human activity has had a serious negative impact on our environment. Over population has stretched the capacity of the planet to maintain the numbers. Poverty and hunger has reached epic proportions. Greed and inequality has had a free hand with civilization and humanity.

Just like in WWII, we need to take all of our abandoned factories and repurpose them, and fast. Repurpose them and retrofit them to make and to build the 21st Century off-world infrastructure. Take all the closed schools and open them back up again. Teach our people the skills they will need to make this conversion of our society a reality. A conversion that would cause Humans to become a multi-planet species. Really there is no other option that will solve the eminent threats our advanced civilization faces. To solve these threats, we have no other choice but to use advanced methods.

"In May 1940, Franklin D. Roosevelt called for the production of 185,000 aeroplanes, 120,000 tanks, 55,000 anti-aircraft guns and 18 million tons of merchant shipping in two years. Adolf Hitler was told by his advisors that this was American propaganda; in 1939, annual aircraft production for the US military was less than 3,000 planes. By the end of the war US factories had produced 300,000 planes,[2][3] and by 1944 had produced two-thirds of the Allied military equipment used in the war—bringing military forces into play in North and South America, the Caribbean, the Atlantic, Western Europe and the Pacific."

WWII Bomber Factory

It's been 8 years since the bubble burst and the big fix was applied. Are things better for you? Do you feel more secure? Do you think things are better for our nation and the world now than they were 8 years ago, when our people invested $16 trillion in the salvation of our economy? I sure as hell don't. I don't feel like things have gotten any better for the average Jane and John Doe in Anytown USA! I think they have got worse, and will get worse unless action is taken, and fast.

If our nation can muster the will to give our $16 trillion to banks and Wall Street CEO's, and if those same banks and CEO's have the guts to gamble on a real big payday, we can do the things that will boost our civilization to the next level, and carry all of our people to prosperity beyond our wildest dreams. The things of which I speak is the colonization of Mars, and the moon. The industrialization of space by the building of orbital solar arrays around the Earth, the moon and Mars. The building of orbital industrial assets around Earth, Mars and the moon to harvest and process asteroidal metals, water and other materials into products used by the people on Earth and the new Mars and moon colonies. The construction of orbital human habitat suitable for apartments and recreation for the off-world workers, and tourists, and even people who wanted to live there just because.

Our nation will have to institute a massive drive to get people educated to the level they would become proficient at these new tasks and objectives. All across the board, and in every profession, skills would have to be honed within our people to a razor edge. In science, math and engineering and all other pertinent support fields, our people would have to excel. That means making the proper resources available for educating all of them.

For the money we spent on the Apollo program, and this excludes the equipment from the Mercury and Gemini program, we got all this.

15 Saturn V rockets,
16 Command/Service Modules,
12 Lunar Modules
Program Support Management Costs;
Construction Expenses for Facilities and their upgrading
Costs for Flight Operations.

If you take all that Apollo equipment and multiply it by 91 ($16 trillion worth of Apollos), what do you get? It seems to be a thing of reason to assume that for that kind of money, we could harvest trillion dollar platinum asteroids. In fact, I would wager that is enough money to get the Off-World-Expansion really going full steam. So what's holding us back?

Is it lack of vision? Our nation had vision enough to put Human footprints on the surface of the moon in the 1960's, so what happened? We all thought we would have civilization on Mars by now. If we had of continued the momentum we had gained, instead of letting the criminal Nixon cancel our future, we wouldn't have near the problems that plague us now.

Indeed put money into the infrastructure. But do not do it in a fashion that is temporary. Cause our problem to be fixed in the only logical next step Humanity must take. Expansion of the Human presence off world.

Mars Colony

THE ONLY WAY TO RESTORE VOTER CONFIDENCE IS TO THROW OUT THE RULES.

I understand the people's anxieties about the election process. The process doesn't serve them, so why should they get all excited about it? The process isn't broken at all. The process is rigged from the start. No wonder too. The same criminal politicians who are funded by rogue corporations are the same people who write the rules of the game.

They get to make organizations called "political parties" who write their own rules to govern how they operate. Within each political party there are two groups. The small ruling group, and the large voting group. The ruling group write rules for their party with two goals. One goal is to gain some kind of unnatural advantage over the other parties. The other goal to to keep the large voting group from gaining any political power in the party. They must only be allowed to vote for the candidate of the parties choice, nothing more.

That's why the party rules are a mishmash of convoluted legalese. Right now there are people who are on party rules committees who are going over the rules of their party looking to make changes that give them favor. You can bet the Democratic party is doing that after their surprise defeat. After all the manipulation the Democratic Party did, they thought the election was in the bag.

That's what happens when a political party does not heed the wishes of the people. People staying home and not voting because of apathy, mistrust, anger or other things that indicate a lack of trust in our Democracy.

There is only one thing that will restore trust in our system. We must dismantle that system, and replace it with one that serves the people and not just industry, corporations and the wealthy elite. The way to do that is to take away the power to make party rules from the political parties. Take away the power from the states to make election laws. Turn over these powers to the federal government, namely the Federal Election Commission.

The states and the political parties have proven they can not be trusted with these vital functions. Time and again their malfeasance has shown through in spectacular fashion, and to the detriment of the avarage citizen. Allow the FEC the power to enforce uniform party rules and uniform election laws. Throw out the various party rule books, and replace them all with one rule book that all parties must follow. Disallow the states making election laws, and have uniform election laws that all states must follow. That is the only way to re instill faith in the system.

There is precedence for such an action too. Up until recently all former Confederate States had to have all election laws reviewed before they were instituted to insure they did not violate the Constitution. Once that provision was thrown out, malfeasance became rampant. Vote tampering, suppression and other tactics designed to give power over to some at the expense of others became the new norm. So people stayed home.

Democratic Socialist Party of the United States

That is exactly what the DSPOTUS wishes to do for our nation. Our party will throw out their own rule book in favor of one designed to be uniform across all parties, as long as that book is truly one that hands all power over to the masses. Then our people will have power over the parties, and not the other way around. "People before Party", and even before the DSPOTUS. The people rule our party, and not the other way around. That's how our people will regain confidence in the vote.

Things to Come: Trump or Hillary is Dread

In this time in American history we find our nation at a turning point. It is a turning point like unto "Deadman's Curve". You better watch out. You better slow down and think things through. There is more at stake now than ever before. Even the longevity of our civilization and species.

I viewed the last presidential debate of 2016 last night. I was less than impressed by either candidate. Trump was his normal narcissistic self. All full of bluster and no substance. Hillary was the same old hauty panderier. The only thing that made her look good was in being compaired to the desgusting Trump, and that ain't saying much. She has a lot of words that fit with my beliefs, but how can I believe anything she says? Is she just telling me what she thinks I want to hear? Is it private or public policy she is giving me? Who knows but her, and maybe Bill?

Trump is a total ass-hat. "No, you are.", "She is a nasty woman." Give me a goddamn break, Trump! He sounds like some insecure freshman in highschool.  Grow the hell up, Trump. Be a man for once in your life. Let me tell you, grabbing a woman "by the pussy" does not make you a man, and neither does ducking out of military service 5 times under false pretences! Bragging about stuff with your "locker room" talk don't make you a man either. It makes you look like a sophomoric punk. No class at all.

I don't expect Trump to grow up any more than I expect Hillary to keep her word. Then we have people like Bernie Sanders coming to Albuquerque the other day going on about how we have to keep Trump out of the White House. Another guy on stage at the rally saying "like it or not" that's what we got (Hillary). Honestly, this is not funny! We've been offered the choice between two evils every 4 years, for a lot of years, but this is the worst choice ever! It's not even a choice. It is a take what we give you and like it, or suffer.

People ask me who I am going to vote for. I honestly still don't know. I may not know for sure until November 8th. I will not say one way or the other even if I had made a choice. I must support the Democratic Socialist Party of the United States, so I refuse to promote another party or party's candidate by giving an endorsement. I will tell you that I find all of them less than adequate. There is only one person who I believe is worthy of the job of Presidency who ran, and that is Bernie Sanders. He threw in the towel though. He broke under pressure from a criminal organization, the Democratic Party. So that's that.

No matter who gets elected, and I doubt it will be Trump, there will be trouble. I'll start off with mentioning trouble Trump alluded to last night, and at other times in the past. Trump has called them out, with no evidence to back it up, that the election is rigged against him. It is rigged, but not particularly against him, but for the chosen corporate thrall. We all are pretty sure that the Democratic Party rigged things to deny Bernie Sanders the nomination. I was at all the pre-primary conventions and ward meetings here in Albuquerque. I read the Democratic Party rules. I got the distinct impression that the party did things in order to influence the outcome in Hillary's favor. Now Trump going on about rigged elections calls out radical factions. All the "Stars and Bars" waving crowd will snap that up like a bass on a mud bug. The Republican party has fueled government mistrust in those folks for decades, now their stupid traitorous rhetoric will bear some poisonous fruit. It could spell insurrection by the low brow Trump supporters.

I've already mentioned how a Hillary Presidency will mean 4 more years of a do nothing congress and gridlock. Day one, the impeachment proceedings will begin. Hillary Clinton will want to do one thing or the other, and the GOP will tack not doing the one thing or the other to an important spending bill. One like the kind that funds the functioning of our government. Can you hear the screeching sound of our government coming to a halt, or is that the grinding sound of the gears of a dysfunctional government?

By the way, all the while we have a dysfunctional government, corporations run roughshod over our economy and environment. Nothing gets done about civil rights, the environment, the minimum wage, murderous police and a whole lot of other things that the Far Right Wing Radicals want to roll back a few centuries.

Then we have the world stage to consider. We are the laughing stock of the world. People the world over look at our three ring circus of an electoral system and start rolling on the floor laughing their heads off. While they are laughing, we'll be crying. If it were a Trump presidency we'll be crying when his buddies in Russia call in all the favours they did Trump. Then Trump tells them to get screwed, like he did other people who asked payment, and then the shit hits the fan. Maybe the Trump will get into a chest bumping contest with Putin. One that leads to WWIII.

Let us not forget about the Hillary and her Syrian "No Fly Zone". Is she going to enforce that if Russia decides to fly anyway? What about her public versus private policy position? Will she later sign back onto the Keystone pipeline, and the TPP? We've seen it many times before. A politician tell us all kinds of sweet talk, then go back on every single word for the "good of the nation". Good of the nation, my ass. More like that was what they planned all along for the "good of  the corporation".

It will be extremely interesting to see the things to come in the next 4 years. So keep an eye out, and make a bug-out bag too! I'm not being flippant. The next few years is going to be a dangerous time for us. It will be mitigating damages time for us. Do what you need to do politically for now, but keep your eye on the long term. Think about what you want our civilization to be, and work for that.

Social Darwinism on a Cellular Level

I think I'll not worry about my little toe anymore. It seems to just be there not doing much to help. Why should the rest of my body feed it or give it any consideration? Damn moocher.

It was my brain that thought of getting rid of that freeloading little toe in the first place! Why should my brain care? Now if that little toe would carry it's own weight and stop looking for a handout, that would be different.

As for my foot and leg, if they started that stuff, they would have to go too! We don't allow any freeloaders or malingerers around here!

It's social Darwinism on a cellular level.
