plastic first praised as indestructable abused_as_disposable

4.30: news.pol/trash/
plastic praised as indestructable abused as disposable:
. it was said on Fresh Air, that an LA suburb
has a problem with gulls showering them with dump waste .
. when the dump was first started,
there were no houses in the area;
but the dump has grown that much?
perhaps they can't believe that suburban sprawl
would try to compete with dump space .

news:
. the Puente Hills landfill near Los Angeles,
has so much trash
that its natural gas emissions can generate
enough electricity to power 70,000 homes,"
. the author of Garbology stated that
methane gas is not very efficient;
the way to get energy from garbage
is to burn it
using europe's new stack scrubbers;
but the old scrubbers are so notorious
that nobody in the usa trusts them any more .
. plus we found other ways to unload it:
the chinese will recycle our paper
but this very inefficient too because
they are using fuel to ship tons of garbage to china
and then ship tons of paper products right back .
. Terry Gross was perplexed, and quipped:
"( if everyone is happy,
what is there to this Garbology book?!),

. I thought most of this was just another
side attack of the overpopulation issue
but I was truly impressed when it was pointed out
that plastic was originally praised as the
make-anything substance that would last forever,
and then it's most common use becomes
one-night-stand tossable containers!

. the plastic never really decomposes either,
it simply gets smaller (and absorbing more toxins)
until it is eaten by marine life .

think wild alaskan salmon is safe?

5.19: web.health/omega-3/wild salmon:
. in the industries own research
they are happy to give numbers
until the issue of dioxins and pcb's comes up,
for these xenoestrogenic carcinogens,
they claim there is no proof of a problem!
. xenoestrogens are tricky to prove
because such endocrine disruptors
cause cancer in subtle ways,
not seen except in the overall high level
of unexplained cancers .
. and the smallest doses of endocrine disruptors like dioxin
are the worst offenders when it comes to causing cancers .

. wild salmon often has double the dioxin levels of
molecularly distilled fish oil, and {4 .. 8} times the pcb's .
. EPA* suggests limiting alaskan wild salmon to
2..5 meals per month (depending on the species)
-- which is not a lot of omega-3 .
*: [Fig. 5. Consumption advisories (in meals per month)
based on USEPA cumulative carcinogenic risk assessment methods
for total DDT, dieldrin, total chlordane, heptachlor epoxide, lindane,
hexachlorobenzene, toxaphene, PCBs, and dioxins/furans
for farmed salmon (red), wild salmon (green), ... ]

. if you want the guaranteed purest fishoil,
make sure it's 3rd-party tested for dioxins .
. the testing used by most pure brands (ifosprogram.com)
has PCB Levels Less Than 50% of CRN Standard
and Dioxin and Furan Levels Less Than 50% of WHO Standard .
. here's the test limits
and lef.org's fish oil recent test results:
-- ppb = parts per billion(nano) --
-- ppt = parts per trillion(pico) --pcb = 0.2226 ppb < 45 ppb
dioxins and furans = 0.739 ppt < 1 ppt
dioxin-like pcb's = 0.081 < 3/2 ppt
heavy metals are also tested:
each of lead, mercury, arsenic, cadmium < 0.1ppm .

dioxins & furans in wild salmon are 0.2 ... 2 pg/g*
*:[p = pico = 1/trillionth = ppt]
Total PCB's in wild Alaskan are 3.9 - 8.1 ng/g .

smart drugs summary

Picamilon is said to be a nootropic (smart drug)
but the only truth to that I found was that
standard smart drugs (stimulants) make you anxious
and Picamilon was good at relieving
very high levels of anxiety .

. dopamine enhancers are nootropic:
Mucuna pruriens, 40% L-Dopa. 75 grams powder.
Yohimbe, 8% Yohimbine! Powder, 40 Grams .

. bht can help with sleep, always a smart idea;
but don't forget your vitamin k supp's;
because, bht deactivates your vitamin k,
and that can melt your bones, and calcify your arteries .
. see also my amazon list of performance enhancers .

evidence miracles are a political stunt

4.20: relig/jc/evidence miracles are a political stunt:
. notice Jesus Christ's peers, the other rabbis,
didn't take his miracles seriously?
they were eyewitnesses at the time,
yet their response was sarcastic:
accusing him of working too hard on the lord's day of rest .
. this disbelief by high-ranking witnesses
lends weight to the theory that
JC's miraculous cures were actually a political stunt
for spotlighting that most of these "(lame) beggars
were only faking physical disabilities
because the disabilities they actually did have
were caused by being unlovable social outcasts
due either to mental illness, sexual orientation issues,
or other behaviors resulting in a bad reputation .

duelers allowed to Stand Their Ground? #Trayvon

5.17: look how beat up he looks!
. I can't believe the media is
still ignoring the obvious:
if you maliciously provoke an attack
by following a guy in the dark,
filling him with fear,
and then popping off with "(what are doing here?!)
when you're not even the police;
you better not get close enough
for a punch in the nose!
. this was a good case for Stand Your Ground
but unfortunately,
Trayvon didn't have a gun, Mr.Zimmerman!
 

4.16: pol/purges/trayvon/
profiling is hardly the main issue:
. on the diane rheme show,
it was argued that Trayvon's treatment
involved profiling ?
but it was far worse than that!
now, granted, profiling is an invasion of
constitutionally protected privacy,
but Trayvon's case was a horrific instance of
vigilantism by random peer punishment
-- a form of premeditated murder!
. just profiling is not murder
if you don't mix it with Stand Your Ground
in the Middle of the Public Grounds lunacy!

4.20: pol/purges/Trayvon/
standing your ground law encourages dueling:
. the problem with stand your ground
if you're trying to defend Zimmerman with it,
is that the same law was
also defending Trayvon's response:
. don't take "(what are you doing here)
from a stranger in the night;
stand your ground, Trayvon!
. and as Trayvon stood his ground,
he finds a hole in this law:
. when we take the law into our own hands,
we sometimes find the criminal can out-gun us !
. poor, Trayvon, live & learn, my friend;
but at least you tried to stand your ground,
we'll remember you were proud,
a true american .
. anyway, you can see from this,
that the law as it now stands
is actually promoting armed duels in the street !
(back in the day,
the duel was the way 2 men resolved high-stakes disputes:
they would agree on walking away from eachother,
and on a certain count, both would turn around
to shoot their opponent ).
. the quickest draw wins, Trayvon .

obama's silverspoon speech

4.19: pol/purges/reaganomics/obama's silverspoon speech:
co.g'+#Dan Gillmor/3:48 PM  -  Public

Amazingly, the White House is denying that
Obama's "silver spoon" crack
had anything to do with Romney.
I think that wins the
"political lie of the day" award.

me:
a comment against romney?
but even without romney in the picture,
if he meant what he claimed to mean
he'd still have a very appropriate
and hard-hitting point:
are we going to give other people's kids
a hand up or not?
if republicans are serving only the elite
no way are they going for free job training. .
. unfortunately for obama,
both parties are sending jobs overseas
so why are democrats worried about aid for job training?
. now what would make sense for obama to say is
"(my constituents are the 99% not the elite,
so I want to make the elite pay welfare
on the condition you guys will stop breeding .
. then we're right-sized for the new economy! )
4.20: co.g'+#David Jones/6:53 AM

This campaign is going to be a slugfest
between the "have's" and "have nots".

Judging from Activision's business practises,
I'd say that you're probably correct.
Perhaps the election should
pit the parties against each other in a video game
since the actual politics
take a backseat to everything else.

sportsification of politics

4.13: co.apt/pol/purges/reaganomics/
sportsification of politics:

(I heard someone lamenting the Bush deficits,
and I thought their reason was so gamy;
we certainly are credit worthy eno' to receive
any amount of debt;
so let's get to the real problem here!)

. they are not even trying to be reasonable;
this is just sportsification of politics;
the main game lately has been to
keep the liberals away from
redistributing the wealthy's money .
. the repub's might say they want the chinese to
stop manipulating their currency
because it worsens the trade deficit,
but did you notice how the chinese were
doing that currency manipulation?
they are buying dollars with their savings,
which means that whenever the fed's need a loan,
the chinese are right there giving us that loan!
[5.17:
. yet the during the previous decade
it was a republican presidency saying to us,
that we didn't need to pay our taxes,
we'll just borrow from the Chinese!
. don't worry about funding the War on Terroism,
the Chinese are happy manipulating their currency,
thank god .]

[4.15: remember how this started:
. if you're a capitalist looking the world's opportunities,
everything about american employees is overpriced .
. it's not just the labor unions
demanding an equal place at the table;
every single citizen is part of virtual labor union
that is heavily taxing employers
to pay for pensions (social security)
and senior medical care (medicare).
. then if they are competitively expected to
subsidize employee heath insurance,
then they are also subsidizing medicaid
-- tax payers and employers split the bill on that one .
. if, on the other hand,
they can get their employees from out of country,
either by exporting jobs, or importing workers,
then they can pass on that healthcare tab
to other countries who are
not so confused about living standards .
. how are americans acting confused?
they keep defending their right to expand the population,
and they also demand that capitalists or the fed
should be finding them jobs that pay more and more
in order to cover increases in cost of living
that are due primarily to their own population growth .
