LVIA Sure Knows How To Spend Money

Lehigh Valley Live-- The Lehigh-Northampton Airport Authority and partners held a groundbreaking Aug. 21, 2018.


$16.3M hangar being built at Lehigh Valley International Airport


I checked out the website for the PennDOT Bureau of Aviation. According to them "Federal Block Grant funding is generated through federal taxes collected nationally on airline tickets, freight waybills, international departure fees, and sale of avgas and jet fuel... Congress appropriates funds for the Airport Improvement Program (AIP) each year, and Pennsylvania receives a percentage of the total authorization based on area/population."

This doesn't explain where the other $10 million is coming from. I haven't looked into all the details but I sincerely hope these fat cats have to pay some really hefty fees and rents considering how long it will take to pay down this $16.3 million investment. Anyone want to hazard a guess where some of the other $10.3 million will come from?

Neil deGrasse Tyson: Are We Living In A Simulated World?

Well that could explain a lot :-)


Here is another thought from Neil deGrasse Tyson.
Are humans too stupid for aliens to waste their time on?


Damn it. Two more questions to add to my ever growing list.

One Day All The Stars Will Disappear

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 :-)

300 Pennsylvania Catholic Priests Sexually Abused Over 1,000 children

VOX: 300 Pennsylvania Catholic priests sexually abused over 1,000 children

Yeah, But....According to Wikipedia--"From 2001 to 2010 the Holy See, the central governing body of the Catholic Church, considered sex abuse allegations involving about 3,000 priests dating back fifty years." Yet as of February 2018 only 24 "Catholic priests were convicted of child sexual abuse."

In my opinion the church could never have covered this up without government prosecutors' and investigators' cooperation. I'd bet more then a few prosecutors avoided these pervert priests because they were deathly afraid of losing a bunch of catholic votes. Hence I feel the blame falls equally both on the church and government's role in the cover-up.

Isn't it amazing how prosecutors have always gone after teachers compared to priests?

I'm reading at WFMZ how the grand jury made recommendations but amazingly not a single indictment was made. Imagine sitting on the grand jury for months listening to the heartbreaking stories only to learn not a single charge would come from the time they were forced to spend. It's been said grand juries could hand down an indictment even against a cheeseburger.

In my opinion at the end of the day the only thing this report does is confirm how miserably the system failed and continues to do so. This because of it's continued failure to bring a single charge against those accused. Instead dropped a bunch of recommendations on reluctant legislators who won't want to lose voters if they go after the church either. Let's just call this what it is. Another example of government patronizing gullible voters into believing everything is going to change without actually changing a damn thing. There sure are a hellva lot of accusations and finger pointing but where's the punishments.

Is The World We Know An Illusion?

Yeah I'm thinking too much again!Would all so-called realities exist if a single awareness didn't observe and/or acknowledge their existence?

When this single entity became aware how did it happen to him/her/it in the first place?

Genesis 1:27
So God created mankind in his own image,
in the image of God he created them;
male and female he created them.
Could this single awareness be nothing more then reflections of itself appearing to have billions of individual consciousnesses as a result of it's own self generated images of many realities seeking answers for it's existence?
Somehow it seems the creator is as perplexed and helpless as the rest of us. No matter how many individual consciousnesses he/she/it creates through untold numbers of realities it still doesn't explain the fundamental question-- what's going on here?

It seems quantum physics helps explain this dilemma. Every time a phenomena is observed another is created. Thus creation will be forever chasing his/her/it's own tail for the eye cannot see itself.

So I suppose the answer is enjoy the ride while it last. If the hour comes awareness no longer exist- for either our creator nor individuals- all will be as it is/was. Whatever the hell it is (or isn't)


So if we experience a after life or all things come to naught none of this means a damn thing in the end does it?

Have a good day :-)
