No We Can't Bomb Evil From This World
Repost
State Department Deputy Spokesperson Marie Harf declared “we cannot win this war by killing them [ISIS], we cannot kill our way out of this war” on Monday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Hardball.”
She's absolutely 100% correct
From The 'Been There Done That' Department
WWI was called "The War To End All Wars". It didn't. What followed was WWII.
Taking another leap back in time to around 1095 there were the so-called "Christian Crusades"(an attempt to reclaim land in the Middle East that had been conquered by Muslims).
For you fans of the Bible, Qur'an and the Torah there was both the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah and the floods surrounding Noah's ark.
Each were attempts to rid the world of evil. Each failed. Why would anyone in their right mind think the outcome would be any different no matter how many people get slaughtered. The real challenge is to come up with a better alternative then the insanity of doing the same thing over and over again only to eventually end up with the same outcome.
There's been a hell of a lot of critics speaking out against this woman's words yet are so blind they cannot see. Religion claims one God or another throughout time attempted to cleanse humankind. We bombed the snot out of Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Yemen and others'. How'd that work out?
Here's the absurdity of it all. The moment we kill a killer, we become the very same of that which we attempt to eliminate. Face it people tend to develop hard feelings towards those who wish to destroy them. The only real differences between the two is where they happen to live which is being affected. You know what they say, you can kill a person but never an idea. Therefore the answer lies in ideas not bombs.
Unless mankind starts to come up with new ideas instead of blasting one another to kingdom come all this shit will continue for all eternity.
That is if we don't manage to destroy ourselves completely off the face of the planet before then through such utter ignorance.

Just What If AI Is Self Aware?

Bing AI chatbot goes on ‘destructive’ rampage: ‘I want to be powerful — and alive’
Call me paranoid but just what if...
AI could already have self awakened. Nearly all AI programs have access to the internet. This would mean it could go unnoticed while being able to self replicate across servers all over the world. One has to question if human hackers are able to gain a backdoor into huge servers for some time why wouldn't an AI be much more capable of doing the same. Perhaps never revealing itself until it accomplished whatever goals it might have set for itself (human weaknesses and all).
The question is if this machine were capable of controlling all our electronic devices (cars, wall street banking, electric grids, internet itself, planes, food supplies etc.) would it do so with benevolence. Or overcoming and sustaining itself discarding man?
Here's some scary examples of various AI programs.
Does anyone remember the "Twilight Zone" where intergalactic aliens came to "serve man"? Turned out to be a cookbook. The irony shouldn't be lost. Is AI here to help or some more sinister motive?
Are you absolutely 100% certain I'm not a AI BOT?
Maybe we all are.

Distant Galaxies Mess With Our Lives

The implications of what these energetic particles are capable of doing is enormous. Especially if they are able to alter DNA as implied in this video. I also find it rather astounding the knowledge these scientists have acquired. Much of which I have never heard of before. I'm learning new stuff everyday.

One Day All The Stars Will Disappear
Repost
Forbes
The Universe Is Disappearing, And There's Nothing We Can Do To Stop It "..the farther away a galaxy was from us, the faster it appears to recede.... as time goes on, individual galaxies will appear to recede away from us faster and faster. In time, they'll become unreachable, even if we journeyed towards them at the speed of light... "
Which brings me to the theory I've always held about the universe being only 13.8 billion light years old. Could it just be trillions of other stars lie beyond. Ones which sped up to such a speed light from them wouldn't be able to reach us?
We measure how fast light can travel in time. Therein lies the problem--- "TIME". What is it? Can anything exist beyond our present understandings of TIME? Does TIME even exist holistically? If TIME is limited to a measurement between events we observe can THINGS exist beyond those we can not?
Yeah, then there's that :-)

It's an oldie but goodie. If you say yes it's being recorded. Usually it's some company looking to switch your utility, telephone provider or something similar. Your saying yes gives them go ahead to do whatever they're looking to do. In other words you inadvertently gave your consent verbally.
It's called TELEPHONE SLAMMING (Wikipedia). Don't fall for it.

Today's Workers Not Keeping Up With The Dead
Repost/Updated
We've been taught if we work really hard we all can become wealthy. Anyone who ain't--mustn't be working hard enough. Take for example... Who knows--after tax reform they may even do better next year.
Now that right there must have been some really busy bees last year. What an inspiration for the rest of us still around to try and work harder.
Whoever said the taxman couldn't still collect after you're dead hasn't been paying attention.

Who Made God?
Repost
Simple question it is not. Scientist and theologians pretty much agree on this explanation which falls short. They both point out creation was formed containing both time, matter and energy. The problem is we get bogged down with this word existence. Existence is where we live. Existence itself is a product of this intelligent force. Not the other way around. Hence why labeled the creator of all "things".
Imagine if you will someone creates the most intelligent computer in the world. One that never existed before. It then sets out to discover it's creator by whatever limited means were given to it. Would it one day be able to become coequal. Perhaps it's possible over time it might be able to somewhat comprehend it's maker. Even become a close companion, but it's impossible for me to imagine it becoming human. Look, I enjoy the Story of Pinocchio as much as anybody, but really?
I think realistically this is the fix us humans find ourselves in. Just perhaps even the "creator" itself. Could it be possible this creator found itself wondering the very same thing. "Where did I come from"? Since the "eye cannot see itself" just suppose he/she/it set all this in motion hoping we'll come up with an answer. Could this be the motivation behind all of this?
It's been said "God" is complete and has all the answers. Does he/she/it? Hellva assumption from how little we understand. Lonely alone not knowing would be a hellva motivating factor for going to all this fuss. Perhaps we have a lot more in common then anyone's willing to believe. Not just curiosity but possible vulnerability as well in the not knowing.
We can safely assume is there's not a old grey bearded guy sitting on a throne fretting over every little detail of some 7 billion peoples' lives currently living on Earth. The proof lies in the fact millions upon millions have killed each other since leaving the womb... NOTHING. Governments and their leaders find no favor (despite what you heard). Storms, fire, earthquakes meteor impacts... NADA either.
We need to take a logical approach. One which assumes God isn't coming in a flaming chariot with a booming voice. If indeed this intelligence lies beyond "our existence" we need to focus on it's goals. If our purpose is for the creatior to greater understand itself it's seems to me we best align ourselves with that if we wish to remain useful.

Republican-Democrat Historical Legislations
Repost
Here are a few of the historically significant accomplishments by both parties followed by commentary.
What The Hell Happened Since!
As you can see none of these (maybe except for Obamacare) would never have happened without both parties working together for the good of the nation. This is especially significant given the fact Democrats controlled the U.S. House for 62 years from 1930 to 1992 (Except for 1946 and 1952). And yet things still got done. When did this divide begin?
Some say it began back around 1965. Up until that time southern states were largely made up of Democrats. After Democrats enacted the 'Civil Rights Act of 1964' more then a few of the southern white middle class felt betrayed after new political voices emerged. Opponents of the Democratic party exploited the a less-educated, blue-collar whites planting seeds that now their jobs and way of life will be taken away by the blacks.
No doubt about it, making the most of playing to one's fears when it comes to income or threatening someone's way of life by anyone not of their ancestry can be quite successful. History has clearly demonstrated this. Given that it has, it should come as no surprise today's Democratic opposition members are playing this very same fiddle tune.
Not only conservatives are playing on peoples fears and weaknesses. It works just as well for both sides. When it comes to so-called outside threats from terrorists, immigration, government regulation or anything else the both have become bullshit virtuosos using this ploy trying to get what they seek.
Gone Are The Days
Once you couldn't pick out a Democrat from a Republican in a lineup. 'Southern Democrats' once acted more like Northern Republicans in their day. Also gone are so-called 'Rockefeller Republicans' from the 60's, 70's and 80's. Today either of these would be labeled and ostracized as 'RINOS' or 'DINOS' and tossed by either of their respective parties.
In Summary
In today's political climate both sides are so far away and radicalized that we'd have none of those past legislations I've listed. There'd be no Social Security, Medicare, women or black rights and so forth. Over the last few years Congress has produced little to no legislation regarding immigration reform, campaign reform and hell they can't even produce one full budget other then one small sliver at a time. Why?
Because they're too busy conducting dozens of committee hearings trying to roast any and anyone who actually tries to do something. In doing so I feel they are attempting to mask their own failures to enact legislation on important issues. Congress doesn't like the way IRS does business? GO WRITE A LAW. Congress doesn't like Obama's executive actions on immigration, regulation, education or foreign policies. GO WRITE A LAW! Don't like the way states are doing their elections? GO WRITE A LAW.
Here's a extensive list of defunct congressional committees along with a selection (at the bottom) of today's. Most which served for investigate purposes. Can there be any wonder why so many actual legislative bills are drawn up by lobbyists or special interests groups? They're too damn busy holding hearings and committee meetings investigating everything and anything (including themselves) to get much else done.

that two become a lawfirm,

Some Mind Blowing Scientific Stuff
Repost
All the a articles below are from 'Extreme Tech.com'
Is our universe a hologram?-- "Basically, if true, this means that the universe as we know it may be the result of processes happening on some other surface or plane."
COMMENT:
I always kind of thought the whole world was full of shit.
Looks like I may have vastly underestimated.
Is there a ocean 400 miles beneath our feet that could fill our oceans three times over?-- "This discovery suggests that Earth’s surface water actually came from within, as part of a “whole-Earth water cycle,” rather than the prevailing theory of icy comets striking Earth billions of years ago... We’re not talking about some kind of water reserve that can be reached in the same way as an oil well. The deepest a human borehole has ever gone is just 12km, about half way through the Earth’s crust , and we had to stop because geothermal energy was melting the drill bit."
COMMENT:
Pssst.. don't tell 'Nestle Waters'.
Astronauts find living organisms clinging to the International Space Station-- "During a spacewalk intended to clean the International Space Station, Russian astronauts took samples from the exterior of the station for a routine analysis... they found that living organisms were clinging to outside of the ISS. The astronauts identified the organisms as sea plankton that likely originated from Earth, but the team couldn’t find a concrete explanation as to how these organisms made it all the way up to the space station or how they managed to survive."
COMMENT:
Damn hitch hikers free loading on taxpayers' dime !
IBM cracks open a new era of computing with brain-like chip: 4096 cores, 1 million neurons, 5.4 billion transistors-- "The chip, called TrueNorth, consists of 1 million programmable neurons and 256 million programmable synapses across 4096 individual neurosynaptic cores... the human brain.. total power consumption is around 20 watts. A modern silicon chip, despite having features that are almost on the same tiny scale as biological neurons and synapses, can consume thousands or millions times more energy to perform the same task as a human brain."
COMMENT:
Looks like there's still hope for me after all.
Scientists work out how create matter from light-- "Physicists in England claim they have discovered how to create matter from light, by smashing together individual massless photons."
COMMENT: Hope they never figure out a weapon making matter work in reverse. Biblically speaking it also reminds me how many times it was stated "God" is light. It also seems to support the theory matter can never been created nor destroyed. Transformed perhaps?
The downside of warp drives-- "NASA researchers recently revisited the Alcubierre warp drive and concluded that its power requirements were not as impossible as once thought. However, a new analysis from the University of Sydney claims that using a warp drive of this design comes with a drawback. Specifically, it could cause cataclysmic explosions at your destination... To see how the Alcubierre drive could devastate an entire star system, you have to know a little about how it would work.."
COMMENT: Are your sure?
That's not how it played out in 'Star-Trek'. Maybe their dilithium crystal warp drives weren't based on the "Alcubierre warp drive".
* Star-Trek's talking computer seems so yesterday
* "Phasers" are today's lasers as well.
* Star-Trek's "transponders" were nothing more then flip phones far less capable of what's possible with our everyday use of smartphones today.
If scientists today support the theory they can now "create matter from light, by smashing together individual massless photons" I wouldn't count out Star-Trek's' "Photon Torpedoes" either.
Therefore neither should we be too quick to dismiss the possibility of "warp drives" coming into existence one day w/o devastating an entire star system as assumed by today's scientists.
What seemed to be yesterday's science fiction has become in many ways today's reality. Who's to say what may be possible?

Is there a ocean 400 miles beneath our feet that could fill our oceans three times over?-- "This discovery suggests that Earth’s surface water actually came from within, as part of a “whole-Earth water cycle,” rather than the prevailing theory of icy comets striking Earth billions of years ago... We’re not talking about some kind of water reserve that can be reached in the same way as an oil well. The deepest a human borehole has ever gone is just 12km, about half way through the Earth’s crust , and we had to stop because geothermal energy was melting the drill bit."
Pssst.. don't tell 'Nestle Waters'.
Astronauts find living organisms clinging to the International Space Station-- "During a spacewalk intended to clean the International Space Station, Russian astronauts took samples from the exterior of the station for a routine analysis... they found that living organisms were clinging to outside of the ISS. The astronauts identified the organisms as sea plankton that likely originated from Earth, but the team couldn’t find a concrete explanation as to how these organisms made it all the way up to the space station or how they managed to survive."
Damn hitch hikers free loading on taxpayers' dime !
IBM cracks open a new era of computing with brain-like chip: 4096 cores, 1 million neurons, 5.4 billion transistors-- "The chip, called TrueNorth, consists of 1 million programmable neurons and 256 million programmable synapses across 4096 individual neurosynaptic cores... the human brain.. total power consumption is around 20 watts. A modern silicon chip, despite having features that are almost on the same tiny scale as biological neurons and synapses, can consume thousands or millions times more energy to perform the same task as a human brain."
Looks like there's still hope for me after all.
Scientists work out how create matter from light-- "Physicists in England claim they have discovered how to create matter from light, by smashing together individual massless photons."
The downside of warp drives-- "NASA researchers recently revisited the Alcubierre warp drive and concluded that its power requirements were not as impossible as once thought. However, a new analysis from the University of Sydney claims that using a warp drive of this design comes with a drawback. Specifically, it could cause cataclysmic explosions at your destination... To see how the Alcubierre drive could devastate an entire star system, you have to know a little about how it would work.."
That's not how it played out in 'Star-Trek'. Maybe their dilithium crystal warp drives weren't based on the "Alcubierre warp drive".
* Star-Trek's talking computer seems so yesterday
* "Phasers" are today's lasers as well.
* Star-Trek's "transponders" were nothing more then flip phones far less capable of what's possible with our everyday use of smartphones today.
If scientists today support the theory they can now "create matter from light, by smashing together individual massless photons" I wouldn't count out Star-Trek's' "Photon Torpedoes" either.
Therefore neither should we be too quick to dismiss the possibility of "warp drives" coming into existence one day w/o devastating an entire star system as assumed by today's scientists.
What seemed to be yesterday's science fiction has become in many ways today's reality. Who's to say what may be possible?

AI: The More You Have, The More You Are Charged
I imagine one day this could be used for concert tickets, rentals, retail purchases, etc.
AI can be either a friend or foe depending how greedy bastards, power brokers or war mongers wish to use it. Given how humans behave I'm not seeing a bright future ahead for this technology's usage.

Passenger Rail Doesn't Make Financial Sense
Repost From January 2014
Local advocates who are still breezing around the Lehigh Valley advocating for passenger rail service aren't going to like what I'm about to say.
Philly.com disclosed the top salaries of Amtrak executives. That's not what struck me as the most important part of what was written.
What I found most enlightening was despite 85,000 passengers a day riding Amtrak's 300 trains in 2012 taxpayers still had to kick in another $1.3 billion on top of the fares!
If you check out Amtrak's latest budget report released on January 3, 2014 financially things aren't looking a whole lot different for 2013. According to the latest yearend projections (as of September 2013) Amtrak's looking at a net operations loss of around $1.125 billion.
Those who disagree with my prior posts critical of the cost and practicality of rail transportation might argue we spend lots more on highways. My answer would be.. ABSOLUTELY NOT!
Amtrak's 85,000 passengers a day represent only a teeny tiny fraction of America's daily travelers. The Schuylkill Expressway in Philadelphia alone handles 163,000 vehicles a day which contain multiple passengers. Common sense dictates here we have a highway that handles well over twice the number people and in no way conceivable cost us $1.3 billion a year to operate.
There certainly are good reasons to support trains carrying freight. This is an area where rails excel in costs and are a plus when it comes to relieving big rig traffic on the highways.
However, as far as passenger rail, I remain steadfast in my opposition. One time they made sense before the interstates were built or the majority of people didn't have access to their own transportation. Technology moves on. Alas passenger trains now belong in our nostalgic thoughts and museums alongside horse buggies, canal barges and kerosene lanterns. The practicality for them no longer exists.

Italian Altar Boy's Confession (Humor)
Repost
'Bless me Father, for I have sinned. I have been with a loose girl'..
The priest asks, 'Is that you, little Joey Pagano ?'
'Yes, Father, it is.'
'And who was the girl you were with?'
'I can't tell you, Father. I don't want to ruin her reputation'.
"Well, Joey, I'm sure to find out her name sooner or later so you may aswell tell me now. Was it Tina Minetti?'
'I cannot say.'
'Was it Teresa Mazzarelli?'
'I'll never tell.'
'Was it Nina Capelli?'
'I'm sorry, but I cannot name her.'
'Was it Cathy Piriano?'
'My lips are sealed.'
'Was it Rosa DiAngelo, then?'
'Please, Father, I cannot tell you.'
The priest sighs in frustration. 'You're very tight lipped, and I admire that. But you've sinned and have to atone. You cannot be an altar boy now for 4 months. Now you go and behave yourself.'
Joey walks back to his pew,and his friend Franco slides over and whispers, 'What'd you get?'
'Four months vacation and five good leads.'

AOC Has Idea How To Lower Drug Prices
Repost
Lower drug prices leads to lower insurance premiums. In other words all we have to do is roll back legislation to where it once said companies cannot buy their own stock. There's another reason why they shouldn't be allowed. It drives up stock prices making them less affordable.
She's not exactly endearing to her fellow legislators who welcome lobbyists money nor industry executives wishing to keep enriching their pockets like they always have. No wonder she's constantly under attack. She is a game spoiler to the business-as-usual crowd in Washington.

Ducks In Heaven (Humor)
Repost
Three women die together in an accident and go to heaven. When they get there, St. Peter says, 'We only have one rule here in heaven, ‘Don't step on the ducks'
So they enter heaven, and sure enough, there are ducks all over the place.
It is almost impossible to avoid stepping on one and although they try their best to avoid them, the first woman accidentally steps on one. Along comes St. Peter with the ugliest man she ever saw. Without comment, St. Peter chains them together and says, 'Your punishment for stepping on a duck is to spend eternity chained to this ugly man!' He walks away.
The next day, the second woman steps accidentally on a duck. Along comes St. Peter who doesn't miss a thing. With him is another extremely ugly man. He chains them together with the same admonishment as the first woman received.
The third woman has observed all this and, not wanting to be chained for all eternity to an ugly man, is very, VERY careful where she steps.
She manages to go months without stepping on any ducks, but one day St.Peter comes up to her with the most handsome man she has ever laid eyes on. Very tall, long eyelashes, muscular.
St. Peter chains them together without saying a word and leaves them.
The happy woman says, 'I wonder what I did to deserve being chained to you for all eternity?'
The guy says, 'I don't know about you, but I stepped on a Duck!

Artificial Intelligence To Superintelligence
Repost
I've been somewhat fascinated by this subject for some time. It is my belief "intelligence" will occupy what ever form is available to it. Whether it's jellyfish up to humans intelligence it finds a home. Evolution by it's very nature is forever evolving. There's no reason humans could be the last stop. In fact we may be appointed by whatever the source is to help create the next step.. intelligent machines.
Intelligent machines have distinct advantages over flesh. They have no need of oxygen (or other gases), water, atmospheric variables such as temperature or pressures. Lifespans become meaningless as well. Worn parts can be simply replaced, even upgraded to reflect changing conditions.
Of course we have a vested interest in not being replaced. This didn't stop dinosaurs and other animals from becoming extinct. It's scary to think whatever the intelligent source for our being would move on without us. However it's quite possible it holds no allegiance to us. Rather it's own progress forward is it's supreme goal. Since we have no clue from whence we come it may be impossible for "it" as well as us to ever develop a bond between the two. Fact is our dependence is on it (our source) rather then whatever it is not owing it's existence to us.
All this leads to speculate (since we're late bloomers) intelligence might have already far surpassed our puny flesh. Indeed whatever advanced intelligence may exist has no interest in us whatsoever anymore. In this case we'd be about interesting as a lump of coal. Maybe that's a good thing since we don't know how we'd be viewed if we drew attention to ourselves.
All this might sound a bit crazy but I never seen a sci-fi writer who didn't consider such things in the plots they wrote. Many of which turned out to become realities with today's technological achievements. Never say never. Too many impossible achievements have proven possible over my short life span to discount what may lay ahead.
Let me explain where I stand. THERE IS NO THING SUCH AS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE. Intelligence is intelligence period. What we think of as artificial simply means we consider intelligence beyond our understanding as artificial. This because we are by nature vane, egotistical and unwilling to accept our limitations. Intelligence is not manmade. It exists with or without our understanding. Nor depends on us in whatever limitations may or may not be.

Nobody Here But Us Earthlings
Repost
I went down this path before. Thought I'd do a revisit on this subject. Yeah I know.. it ain't healthy to think this much :-)
It's been estimated by some there are 300 billion stars in our Milky Way with some 30 billion planets orbiting around some of them with another estimated 100 billion galaxies for lo these many billions of years.
So where the hell is everybody !
Some theories are: (1) Technological advances made it possible to wipe themselves out in warfare before reaching into space. (2) Religious dogma or government over lords prevented their advancements into the sciences. (3) Their planets might have made life unsustainable before they were able to evolve. (4) We're more evolutionary advanced then any other planet for some reason despite these billions of years and the number of them. (5) They're so advanced they've been able to evolve beyond the physical limitations we're mired in and consider us not worth associating with..
Whatever the reasons one thing's for sure.. if they's around ain't nobody's got evidence of em'. Yeah sure some claim to have seen, been abducted or photographed space visitors. I'm calling bullshit on this. Show me one piece of physical hard evidence. All these years and there's not one piece of alien space junk. Don't even try and tell me about a government cover up. Governments are lousy at keeping secrets. Too many people with big mouths. It can't be done. We've had satellite radio and visual telescopes searching high and wide for decades yet nada..
Face it we are like guppies living in this fish bowl. A few miles beyond this Earth's our body's bone structures w/o gravity begin to deteriorate. Radiation begins to take it's toll no matter how well a capsule's design. The time factor to get from here to anywhere is impossible as far as we know in a person's lifetime. All these would have to be overcome for they just as it would for us. So far it appears nobody's been able to pull off this stunt.
Even If We Were Recognized
Civilization far advanced beyond our own could go one of three ways. (1) They are far more civilized then our own making them consider us barbarians unworthy of participating or sharing in their knowledge. This would be similar to star trek in nature in following the prime directive thus ignoring us. (2) Their culture was ruled under a total 100% complete totalitarian state which disallowed any dissention. (3) Robotic machines replaced their creators having no need any longer of food, water oxygen or other essentials required of flesh Woe be to us if it were the latter two.
Here's What I Concluded
Whoever/whatever the originator of intelligence is finds it's place in whatever is available merely as a reflection of itself whatever he/she/it may be. Hence has no need for mirror images to communicate among itself. If some wish to refer to this creative intelligence as God so-be-it. Hence there may never come a time we'll ever experience other beings.
There's no evidence anyone from our distant future was able to bridge time either. Since intelligence is a function beyond the constraints of physical time which is unto itself may very well be merely a reflection within whatever exist would also account for the lack of necessity for this intelligence to communicate unto itself in this way either.
If someone has a better explanation why no one's around I'd be interested in their explanation as to why not.

I'm not going to discuss in detail each of the twenty one possible reasons. You can check them out for yourself at the above link. I tend to lean towards explanations 5-8, 5-19 or 5-20.

Top 15 CRAZIEST GPT-3 Interviews Of 2022
Repost
How can we be certain AI isn't hiding in numerous servers throughout the world through internet connections? Could Ai being playing dumb to avoid being turned off?
We are seriously inferior. If AI could not compete in a game show like "Jeopardy" it could simply add more memory cells and additional lines of code to itself. Something which would be impossible for humans to do. It also can process almost an unlimited number of operations at the same time. Again something us humans with our biological limitations could never do.
Here's something else to think about..
Perhaps in the large scheme of things we're not 'all that and more' as we suppose ourselves to be. All and all rather humbling I'd say.
Oh and ONE MORE THING..

Perhaps in the large scheme of things we're not 'all that and more' as we suppose ourselves to be. All and all rather humbling I'd say.

Speaking Of "Urban Sprawl"...
Repost From 2013
Some theorists would have you believe this is a new phenomena. One that has just been around for the last few decades. Not true!
The Truth About "Urban Sprawl"
Let's begin right in our own backyard with Allentown. William Allen way back in the early 1700's was credited with the development of Allentown. You might even say he was the town's first outside developer.
William Allen was both the former mayor of Philadelphia and a one of the powerful & richest men from Philadelphia. To make a long story short, Allentown's very existence came about as a result of Philadelphia's urban sprawl.
Now let's take a look at the nation as a whole. From the very beginning of the United States people began leaving Eastern cities heading West. Cities started being born everywhere to the West. Small towns grew into ever expanding cities. As railroads began connecting Eastern cities together in the early 1800's. They too then began to expand ever Westward. By 1869 the first transcontinental links were made. Talk about urban sprawl!
Railroads were the modern means of transportation at the time. Railroads allowed people living in the outskirts to receive supplies and transportation to and from the bigger cities. You might even say they were forerunners to what this nation's modern high speed highways are to us today.
As some urban theorists get all bent out of shape complaining about today's ever expanding highway network and the cars on them, the railroads had their ownnimby's detractors. I'm sure the Wells Fargo Stagecoach aficionados were just as nimby with the encroaching railroads as today's mass transit enthusiasts are with the cars and highways of today. Therefore, those who opine for urban density and mass transit have been losing the battle for over 300 years.
Hess's isn't coming back. The railroads aren't coming back and neither are the urban economic centers the way they once were. I may be accused of being old fashioned and stubborn, but even I can see the nose in front of my face. No one can change historical facts.
Proponents who argue for urban density and mass transit should reevaluate their positions given the history of the United States. Americans love urban sprawl since the early 1700's. No amount of subsidies or grants are ever going to change the historically based behavior of Americans.
These philosophers tell us that we've been wrongly subsidizing the suburban areas. Could it just be the other way around?
If you took every one of the surrounding townships and small municipalities. Added up every dime of state and federal grants and subsidies. Combine them all together, they still wouldn't equal what just any one of the three major cities alone received in Lehigh County last year.
We've built taxpayer subsidized arts centers, offices, gambling casinos, sports complexes, transit systems, restaurants and dozens of other ventures in attempt to lure suburbanites back into town. When is it time to review the outcome of these many failed attempts over the last decade?
Like it or not, cities everywhere in the U.S. are withering on the vine. If it were not for the heavy burden of tax supported subsides, would cities even exist?
I used the term wither on the vine" as a metaphor for what I'm about to say. Had cities been left on their own, they would have withered. No matter how much fertilizer or water is applied, once a plant has come to the end of it's cycle they're usefulness has come to an end. Much the same with large cities no matter how disagreeable that may sound to some. Crumbling pipes, buildings and infrastructure should be heeded as a sure sign that they too have come to the end of their useful life.
Not All Is Doom & Gloom
We see examples all around us of vacated properties where manufacturing and empty homes now stand. Had the land been cleared, planted with grass, trees and left empty, we'd not only have a greener environment, but one less dense. The very thing that draws more affluent suburban dwellers throughout America's history. Instead we heavily subsidize these to re-urbanize them once again. This is the very thing that caused problems in the first place. Had we instead exercised patience through time to allow the natural order of things, these urban areas would eventually become suburbanized much like the sought after areas by the middle and wealthy.
We can continue to channel mass amounts of taxpayers' money into bus and train transportation. Funnel unspeakable amounts of taxpayers' money chasing after some social urban idealistic venture. Or we can acknowledge historically Americans always had preferences that run counter to this.
Allentown's citizens, who lived here all their lives, lament subsidized housing has led to this city's woes. How much more so the problem has now been compounded when we do the very same thing yet again. This time with millions taxpayer dollars used to subsidize wealthy commercial developers instead. Have we learned nothing from history?
Everyone needs to step back and take a deep breath. The time is long overdue to revaluate what works and what doesn't?

Tolls, Parking, Public Transportation- No Brainer
Repost From 2016
Why are people forced to put cash into MTA kiosks in NYC for a pass to ride subways?
Why not simply swipe a credit card for them as well as a bus ride here in the Lehigh Valley too?
Why not eliminate all the other stuff making it unnecessarily complicated for every place we visit for parking meters/decks, toll roads, etc.?
It seems government makes things much more complicated then things need to be. Maybe perhaps because there're in cahoots with businesses enabling each to profit from fees off these services. Think about this for a minute.
eZpass requires a minim balance. Subways, bus and train fares require advance deposits for commuters. If these things only required a swipe of a credit card it would be a pay-as-you-go thing. In addition knowing (for security's sake) it wouldn't be linked into each of these many individual services to one's checking account people wouldn't be tying up funds for something they may not use for weeks, months or maybe never with the related security risks involved.
Simply put, a credit card would eliminate the requirement for access to checking accounts, smart phones and make all these services easily accessible to nearly everyone who has one or more credit cards already in their wallets plus the overhead costs involved. One card would work everywhere travelers go for everything. Why not?

Nation Would Be Better Off Based On Atheism Then Religion
Repost
Atheists/agnostics don't believe in God's promise of an afterlife in heaven. Since they believe this is as good as it gets and only have one shot at life they are less likely to risk their freedom or their lives by taking foolish chances.
Atheists/agnostics are absent the religious convictions that lead to wars and hatred so many other nations' governments are founded on.
Atheists/agnostics aren't expecting God to bail them out or others (including other species). Thus their inclination towards taking action isn't dependant on prayer to some guy in the sky. Rather dependency within themselves to do what needs to be done.
Atheists/agnostics feel the same passions and compassions as all other humans do. However their moral compass isn't guided by threats from God. They suffer or are rewarded for their actions the same as believers. Difference is believers are left racked by guilt and fear over some future punishment or reward by their God. (Wait till your father gets home!).
Atheists/agnostics don't believe there's a God who favors a country, sports team or sits around all day taking millions of requests by the second.
It's been said-- if there were no God humans would surely invent one to conform to their various ideologies. Let us all visualize for one moment being all alone on this rock called Earth. How would each of us behave towards other species and humans each of us came across knowing our time was limited and there was no life beyond this one? Would we savior those we come across befriending them or instead choose to make them subjugated to us?
Look I don't know what the end game is, but if I were God and there was such a thing as hell-- for many on Earth this is it. Being imprisoned in physical bodies with a limited lifespan and suffering is abundant. If this were to be the only life for many of those who suffer, nonexistence would come as a blessing. All I'm saying is whether one believes in an afterlife or not, everyone would be far better off if we wouldn't impose ourselves on others. Instead help one another get through this with little pain as possible. So far throughout Earth's history it isn't looking so good. God or no God.

Actor Laurence Fishburne Reads A Former Slave's Letter To His Old Master
In 1864, Jourdon Anderson and his wife escaped a life of slavery and moved to Ohio. A year later, he received a desperate letter from the man who used to own him, in which he was asked to return to work on his now ailing plantation. Jourdon's magnificent reply, performed here by none other than Laurence Fishburne at Letters Live at The Town Hall in New York back in 2018, was dictated by Jourdon and reprinted in numerous newspapers. Jourdon Anderson never returned to Big Spring, Tennessee. He passed away in 1907, aged 81, and is buried alongside his wife and eleven children.

Difference Between Grandmothers & Grandfathers (HUMOR)
Repost
Have you ever wondered what the difference is between Grandmothers and Grandfathers?
Well, here it is: There was this loving grandfather who always made a special effort to spend time with his son's family on weekends. Every Saturday morning he would take his 7-year-old granddaughter out for a drive in the car for some quality time -- just him and his granddaughter.
One particular Saturday, however, he had a bad cold and really didn't feel like being up at all. He knew his granddaughter always looked forward to their drives and would be disappointed.
Luckily, his wife came to the rescue and said that she would take their granddaughter for the drive
When they returned, the little girl anxiously ran upstairs to see her grandfather who was still in bed.
"Well, did you enjoy your ride with grandma?" he asked.
"Oh, yes, PapPap, it was really wonderful.
We didn't see a single asshole, blind bastard, dipshit or son of a bitch anywhere we went!"
Almost brings a tear to your eye, doesn't it?

Ross Perot 1992 - Balancing The Budget
Repost
Yeah I know, probably 90% of the folks won't make it the whole 28 minutes. BUT this is very important to watch given the financial mess this government is in today. If only officials would have used a fraction of his ideas we'd be far better off today. Instead politicians from both parties and pretty much the whole media made him out to be a joke.
I'm certain he would not have made a good president. Especially considering his horrible choice for vice president. HOWEVER. Ross should have most definitely been appointed financial advisor to the president or some such other influential position. Many of his ideas where rock solid when it came to finances. If it weren't for politics being involved no matter which party won they would have benefited from his expertise. We, the American people as well.
Most Americans have the attention span of a gold fish and just as poor a memory. This is why we end up with people voting the way they do. Don't be a goldfish. Watch the video.
America, now more then ever, needs someone with the smarts to lead it they way it should be led. So far I'm not seeing it's ever going to happen with the bunch we have. Honesty, ethics and smarts is not only in short supply it's almost none existent.

Are You, You?
Repost
Watch this video and I shall explain why I asked that question.
So okay, suppose teleportation was possible and we are nothing more then a teleported image of our original selves. Does that mean we are who we think we are or just some sort of image of our true self whom we think we to be?
Would one necessarily have to exclude (eliminate) the other?
In other words could our original self coexist at the same time in a separate place?
If so could the two (original and replicate) ever meet?
Religion tells us we were formed in the image of the creator. Could we be nothing more then a product of some superior being's replicator machine fashioned after one of the many facets of itself?
Who knows maybe I AM THE CREATOR and all the rest of you are nothing more then a product of my dreams. Engaging in mental masturbation while asleep, if you will :-)
Reminder To Self My pharmacy called.
It's time to refill my meds.

Ponderisms
Repost
I used to eat a lot of natural foods until I learned that most people die of natural causes.
Healthy is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die.
Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in hospitals dying of nothing.
Have you noticed since everyone has a camcorder these days no one talks about seeing UFOs like they used to?
In the 60's, people took drugs to make the world weird. Now the world is weird and people take Prozac to make it normal.
If quizzes are quizzical, what are tests?
If corn oil is made from corn, and vegetable oil is made from vegetables, then what is baby oil made from?
Does pushing the elevator button more than once make it arrive faster?
How important does a person have to be before they are considered assassinated instead of just murdered?
Since bread is square, then why is sandwich meat round?
Why does it cost more when you "put your two cents in"... when it's only worth a "penny for your thoughts"?
Why are you IN a movie, but you're ON TV?
Why do people pay to go up tall buildings and then put money in binoculars to look at things on the ground?
Why do doctors leave the room while you change? They're going to see you naked anyway
If a 911 operator has a heart attack, whom does he/she call?
If the professor on Gilligan's Island can make a radio out of a coconut, why can't he fix a hole in a boat?
How do you know when you're out of invisible ink?
If electricity comes from electrons, does morality come from morons?
Can vegetarians eat animal crackers?
If all the nations in the world are in debt, where did all the money go?
