We Should Rethink Drivers License Suspensions

Repost

I came across this news story in the 'New York Times'. Driver’s License Suspensions Create Cycle of Debt

This got me to thinking how horrible an idea this is when licenses are suspended for reasons other then violating driving laws.

According to the reporter, "..some states have begun suspending driver’s licenses for unsatisfied debts stemming from any criminal case, from misdemeanors like marijuana possession to felonies.."


As the article goes on to point out it's no wonder so many people are driving while their license is under suspension. Seems to me the punishment doesn't fit the crime. It also seems to me if we take away someone's means to support themselves there's little chance they will ever have the opportunity to make good on the debts they owe. We must remember not all these people have alternative transportation available. Most employers won't hire someone without a car. Not everyone lives in a high density area where public transportation is readily available. Ever check out the bus schedules to where you work in the Lehigh Valley?

I have no problem taking away drivers privileges from jerks behind the wheel. I do have a problem with blackmailing people with the threat of removing their privileges on entirely unrelated matters. Taking away a persons means of a livelihood does neither they nor the persons they owe any good. It only serves to kick a person already down more then they need be. I find this to be not only revengeful but spiteful as well. Both should have no place in what we'd like to think of as justice within our system.

I dread to think how far this could go now that we've cracked this door open.

DNA The Future Of Data Storage?

Repost


Doesn't This Also Imply Our Creator Also Did So And Has Yet To Be Discovered


The Future?
What do ya mean!
DNA already contains data
We're living proof.'The Sun (UK): Elon Musk claims humanity is living inside a simulation which will soon END--"The billionaire has previously spoken of his belief that we exist in a fake world designed by superintelligent developers."

Just What If?
Although Elon made the statement somewhat tongue-in-cheek it does cause someone to wonder. Let's take a few moments to consider this hypothesis.

It's an absolute fact data stored in strands of DNA forms all the cells in the human body. This is true from our toenails, to all our organs including the brain itself. Let's focus on the brain. All of us are born with a brain that already knows how to control the muscles in our heart, lungs, intestines and other vital organs. In a few weeks our vocal cords and eyesight begins to be further refined. Preprogrammed as it were.

So here we are now with a basic data unit in our head. With at least rudimentary information a human will need to get started. After that everything anyone will ever see, touch, smell or experience lie external to the grey blob residing in darkness within our skull. Everything it relies on for information comes only to it through external sensory inputs. I called it a grey blob because that's all it is. It's entirely dependent on data coming in from outside itself. It's entire function is to process those signals into something that makes sense.

Now let's go off the rails with this far out hypothesis
Let's suppose someone wishes to create a artificial intelligence of some kind made up of biological material. The first step might be to form strands of chemicals (DNA) that would replicate and create the individual parts necessary to make it a self functioning unit. One that not only had intelligence but the capability of reproducing other units like itself so you didn't have to fret about storing your society's history and information. It could be possible our DNA contains hidden messages from our designers yet to be discovered. This until they felt the time would be be appropriate to reveal itself.

A important consideration. You'd want it to be intelligent but not too much so that it could become a threat and over take it's designers. In other words you would give it limited capacity. Even if it were capable of recognizing it's own existence it wouldn't be much more capable beyond that. Hopefully not either destroying themselves before such a time humans evolved enough enabling them to decode their creators' hidden messages. Could our purpose be to store information for beings currently beyond our comprehension?

Just for a hoot let's take this a step further
You could design it's algorithms (brain) to support it's hypothesizes. In other words if enough of these organic units imagined something might exist it would become so due to it's in-common design. Oh let's say like a incomprehensively large unending universe or endlessly smaller masses disappearing into what only can be described as quantum theories. These are all so-called things it could conceive then perceive as it's physical reality.

Human understanding has always questioned reality and it's place in it. Perhaps this hypothesis can explain some of these mysteries. Scholars throughout the ages hinted all answers lie within. This most certainly would clarify what they were trying to tell us, wouldn't it?.

Crazy Talk?
Perhaps--but as per usual I'll leave you some videos to ponder..









After millions of years why is it only in the last 30 or 40 years humans advanced this rapidly? Could all be revealed soon?

Think About This On Our Nation's 250th

Also think about this when it comes to leadership

Although these where made many years ago much of what they said still applies to this very day. We have a long way to go to change the direction this nation is headed. It's not time to celebrate but rather reflect on where we've gone wrong. To rededicate ourselves to realistically see what happening and turn things around before it's too late. To deny otherwise will not alter the fate to which we are advancing towards.

That's my message this July 4th.

Where Presidents Stood On Immigration (Videos)

Repost

Our immigration policy has always been all over the place. This is why CONGRESS NEEDS TO ACT. No longer can congress be allowed to kick this can down the road. The burden is now on congress because of it's failure to act in the past. Neither blame or anger should be directed towards Trump nor any of his predecessors. Each have been left to twist in the wind trying to come up with their own policy because of congress's failure to act. Every one of these presidents tried to pressure congress. Each have failed

Executive actions will no longer appease the American people. If there's anger to be had let it be towards those who should be held accountable-- members of congress. They are the ones charged with making laws. Not presidents, the courts or individual states. They can save DACA or make it go away. They can decide how many, who come into this country and the rules they have to play by to get here Congress has the ability to override a president's veto if they feel the need to. The time has come for this congress to act. No more excuses. No more hiding behind the various presidents to stall immigration reform.. Just do it-- do your jobs.

Folks don't let them get away without doing something yet again. Hold congress accountable. Let them know we're watching and we're sick and tired of their inaction. We don't want to go through another 50 or 60 years of allowing this nation to divide itself like we have been from one president to the next. Neither for our sake, our kids nor those who seek citizenship doing all the right things only to be told America doesn't want you. Get lost. What kind of message does this send to the rest of the world? We're too good for them?



We need to know where we've been to know where we need to go.

This isn't a conservative or liberal thing. Plenty of good people went on to become president. Certain members of congress expressed compassion and frustration from both sides. It's time we back them up and give them and future presidents the support they need by enacting commonsense laws through congressional action. A lot of people are hurting unnecessarily. Time to end this so we can move on to other things.

Two Female Bowling Teams On A Bus (HUMOR)

Repost

Two bowling teams, one of all Blondes and one of all Brunettes, chartered a double-Decker bus for a weekend trip to Louisiana.

The Brunette team rode on the bottom of the bus, and the Blonde team rode on the top level.

The Brunette team down below really whooped it up, having a great time, when one of them realized she hadn't heard anything from the Blondes upstairs. She decided to go up and investigate.

When the Brunette reached the top, she found all the Blondes in fear, staring straight ahead at the road, clutching the seats in front of them with white knuckles.

The brunette asked, 'What the heck's going on up here?
We’re having a great time downstairs!

One of the Blondes looked up at her, swallowed hard and whispered...
'YEAH SURE, YOU'VE GOT A DRIVER'!

Where Are The Space Aliens?

Repost

I read a really well written mind blowing article from a blog entitled 'Wait But Why'- "The Fermi Paradox". I realize most people aren't interested in this subject. I, on the other hand, can never quite get enough of this kind of stuff. I'll post some copy & paste stuff from there. Insert a video of mine. Then if readers want to read more they can hook up with that link if they are still interested. Finally I will post a few comments of my own.


"On the very best nights, we can see up to about 2,500 stars (roughly one hundred-millionth of the stars in our galaxy)... As many stars as there are in our galaxy (100 – 400 billion), there are roughly an equal number of galaxies in the observable universe... there are 100 Earth-like planets for every grain of sand in the world... we’d estimate that there are 1 billion Earth-like planets and 100,000 intelligent civilizations in our galaxy

So where is everybody?
... Maybe there are no higher civilizations in existence... civilization might view the entire physical world as a horribly primitive place, having long ago conquered their own biology and uploaded their brains to a virtual reality... a “superpredator” civilization (like humans are here on Earth)—who is far more advanced than everyone else and keeps it that way by exterminating any intelligent civilization once they get past a certain level.. our technology is too primitive and we’re listening for the wrong things... The universe might appear one way and be something else entirely, like a hologram. Or maybe we’re the aliens and we were planted here as an experiment or as a form of fertilizer. There’s even a chance that we’re all part of a computer simulation by some researcher from another world..."

A Few Comments Of My Own
I've always been filled with wonder about what's going on here. It's almost as if we're God's little joke on himself. A game of hide and seek if you will. All accomplished by limiting our human minds and understanding to a tiny glimpse of what is actually going on. After all, if I were in God's place I would probably do the same thing. Who needs to create beings that might one day mucky things up.

The question remains.. will we ever be able to comprehend the vastness or ever achieve the kind of understanding that we desire to comprehend all of this? I sincerely doubt this under our present form. That's why I was a huge fan of Stargate SG-1 in which writers explored many of these issues which previously aired on the Syfi channel.

""With people this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."
~ Mathew 19:16 ~

“If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.”
~ Mark 9:23 ~

“For with God nothing shall be impossible.”
~ Luke 1:37 ~

This same thing is repeated in Mark 10:27 and in Luke 18:27. Many may not believe in what the bible says, but certainly there's a grain of truth in them. This didn't come out of thin air and man's imagination alone from these ancient religious scripts. Quantum physics and science are beginning to conclude many of these same things. If someone has a better understanding or explanation of this universe I'd be very interested in hearing from them.

If I Were Putin

Repost

Here would be my wish list hoping to undermine the United States by...
* Destroying Americans trust for their press, intelligence, FBI and government leaders.
* Weaken federal revenues by all means possible including unnecessary tax cuts.
* Weaken allied nations' faith in military and economic agreements.
* Use all means necessary to get a leader elected who could fulfill those goals. As well as someone who could pit people against each other throughout the world including Americans amongst themselves. Someone who would impose tariffs that applied to none of their own or family's businesses. A person who would trash all of his opponents similar to what Putin would do. A person who he and his family benefited millions from USSR loans.

Know anybody like that?
