What's the difference between a theocracy's policies and a liberal democrat's policies as administered by Governor of New York Eliot Spitzer? Well a theocracy only extends the rights of its government to its followers. In contrast, liberal democratic policies as recently proposed by Gov. Eliot Spitzer extends the rights of citizens also to illegal immigrants and who may be in this country for additional illegal acts.
Well I guess if you believe that all are equal, then anything can pass for good policy in a liberal government including giving driver licenses/IDs to an illegal alien. Never give up your guns.

Exxon, Valdez Captain Hazelwood Judgments: New Values Needed
What should be the penalty for the death and destruction of app. 500,000 seabirds, 5000 sea otters, 12 river otters, 300 harbor seals, 250 bald eagles, 22 Orcas (killer whales), billions of salmon and herring eggs and a toxic residue of oil in the sea bed that will linger for hundreds of years? The Supreme Court has decided to hear Exxon's appeal of $2.5 billion punitive damages award against it for it's 1989 spill of 11 million gallons of oil in Alaska's pristine Prince William Sound.
Years ago, Captain Joseph Hazelwood of the tanker Exxon Valdez which ran aground and spilled the oil was accused of being drunk while in command of the vessel. He was cleared of that charge. But he was found guilty of a " midemeanor charge of negligent discharge of oil". For this violation, he was fined $ 50,000 and had to serve 1000 hours of community service.
That's woefully not adequate to the damage that he was reponsible for. This paltry penalty points out the overvaluation of the human in comparison to the natural world. With that kind of legal logic, it's only a matter of time before our natural world is sacrificed on the alter of the human's wrongly inflated opinion of itself. New values have to be reflected in our laws that down grade the human and upgrade the increasingly dwindling natural world.

James D. Watson: Spoke The Truth
Dr. Watson shared the 1962 Nobel Prize for describing the double-helix structure of DNA . Recently Dr. Watson wrote a book titled, " Avoid Boring People: Lessons From A Life In Science". Also recently Dr . Watson said , " Overall people of African descent are not as intelligent as people of European descent". I applaud Dr. Watson's scientific contributions, wit and insight.
But it would seem that I'm in the vocal minority. The prigs of political correctness have judged his remarks about the African race to be racist. Therefore academic institutions including Rockefeller University have cancelled scheduled speeches by the 79 year old ,honest and brilliant man.
The truth of his remarks about Africans is self-evident in historical records. It does not make Africans necessarily inferior . He only said that by WESTERN INTELLIGENCE STANDARDS, Africans didn't measure up . Africans have their own standards. Whose standard is more accurate depends on where one lives and what one values.

Arthur Schopenhauer Predicts Michael Ladeen
The ninteenth century German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer said, " Jews were the master of the lie" . Personally I think that is an overstatement. But it is applicable to certain warmongering Zionists. Which brings up one of the American Enterprise Institute resident scholars Michael Ladeen. Schopenhaauer predicts the like of Mike.
Yesterday in the WSJ, Ladeen did a piece titled " Victory Is Within Reach In Iraq? He makes this preposterous claim after 4 plus years of U.S. killing in Iraq which unleashed a civil war and now threatens world peace. U.S. losses number over 3800, app. 75,000 American forces are wounded or disabled and over $ 700 billion has gone up in smoke. Iraqi losses are even greater. Estimates of over 1,000,000 dead, app 5,000,000 Iraqi dislocated from their homes or the country itself and now the country is in a de facto partitioned state with no end in sight. Is this what victory looks like? Could anything happen in Iraq now to make the sum total of America's involvement even resemble a victory? No Ladeen's claim is unbelievable.
Ladeen also mentions that since the Brits mostly left southern Iraq some normalcy has returned. Well isn't that really an argument for American withdrawal rather than an example of a British "victory" in Sothern Iraq? Ladeen wants to build on this "victory in Iraq" by taking the action cross border into the " terror masters of Iran". Hey Mike, when they come for the Zionists who will hide you?

Halo 3, Xbox, Wii & Stunted Personal Growth
Recently Microsoft's Halo 3 game propelled quarterly Xbox sales to 527,800. This total eclipsed Nintendo's Wii 501,000 sales figure. Video game revenue which includes portable games and accessories totaled $ 1.36 billion. That's up a whopping 74% from last years comparison.
Is the time and money spent in this voyeuristic, masturbation of life creating a cultural , physical and mentally stunted individual? How many hours and days away from the natural world and away from conversation and human interaction have been lost? And at what cost?
How do you reach these increasingly isolated people? Here's an idea. How about some enterprising hackers introducing subliminal messages in the software which asks, " Is this the best way to live a life?"

America & Age Of Carpetbagger
Whether Hillary Clinton wins or not, the trend towards carpetbagger politicians is set as if on railroad tracks. The tracks are spiked into the false American proposition that "all are equal". The fact is that we are all known by our differences. Only America's wealth allows this fantasy philosophy to survive. So carpetbaggers like the Clintons will run campaigns that redistribute not just wealth but more importantly others self esteem and personal achievment.
Sooner or later these carpetbagger policies will bankrupt the U.S. and hopefully a more rational/sustainable political philosophy will take its place.

Pat Buchanan: Strutting Against U.N. Law Of Sea Treaty
Pat Buchanan's op-ed piece today scolds Bush and key members of the Senate for supporting the ratification of the U.N.'s Law Of The Sea . The treaty would bring comprehensive protection to 70% of the worlds surface that is covered by water. The evidence of declining fish stocks, marine pollution and destructive seabed mining procedures is acknowledged by the treaty and steps to mitigate it are codified.
That's on one side. On the other side, Buchanan invokes the conservative legacies of Teddy Roosevelt, Bob Taft, Barry Goldwater and Ronald Reagan. Buchanan says that they bristled at treaties that compromised U.S. sovereignty and the implied strutting rights over the worlds resources , no matter who owns them. But Buchanan fails to put those past war horses philosophies in the context of todays realities. The fact is that 25-80 years ago the environmental degregation of the seas were not as apparant as today.
Wake up Buchanan and smell the fresh sea air. It may clear out old, out- of- date, stale attitudes.

NY Times & Sulzberger-Zionist Tribe
And todays NYT article on possible Syrian nuclear capabilities includes, " In Washington and Israel, information about the [ Israeli bombing Syria ] raid has been wrapped in secrecy and restricted to just a handful of officials...".
" Secrecy"? It's on the front page of todays New York Times. So here we go again. The disgraced Judith Miller is gone after being exposed as a conduit for " Scooter" Libby's lies about Iraq's WMD but now we are being told that Syria has /or will have WMD also. Obviously the source of Israeli propaganda at the NYT resides at the highest levels. I.E. Sulzberger-Zionist Tribe.
Israel is not worth the effort of American intervention on it's behalf. Let Sulzberger and his greasy Zionist friends and relatives suit up for war themselves if they are so determined for Israel's help.

Urgent Message To Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation
The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation announced yesterday a new $100 million fund for "...early, unorthodox health innovations in a search for tools to fight global epidemics."
Hey Bill and Melinda, stop right there! First, the most important epidemic to stop is the growth of world-wide human population. Secondly I'm happy to report, we already have a cure for it. It's called birth control. It comes in both medicinal and in paraphernalia. So if you really care about humans and the quality of life keep it simple. Less is better.

Homeless: Wrong Definition
A Chinese proverb advises, " Wisdom can only be attained by calling things by their correct name". Calling San Francisco's street menace" homeless " only addresses the sympton not the deeper cause of the health and social hazard.
So if " homeless " is not used when referring to this menace and a more accurate discription like degenerates or filthy bums or chronic, criminal-like crazies are substiuted then a mitigating and constructive social counterattack against the street menace could proceed logically, swiftly and effectively.
