Neither Terrorism nor Child Porn need create these fissures in our society. It is our failure to avoid embracing fear and sensationalism that will be our undoing. We're still our own greatest threat.

BUT BUT Everything that is wrong with America is because of Terrorism and Child Pornography! Come on!!!

If we rid the world of these two evils, then the drug problem will be solved, all crime will end, and peace snd freedom will reign for a million-trillion years!

Amen bro!
Here is something to rally around as the world goes to hell in a handbasket.

A real treat on talk radio tonight - Art Bell will be interviewing Dr. Michio Kaku.
Dr. Kaku is one of my favorites!

"Michio will be discussing “SETI, the Hadron Collider, and billionaire Paul Allen’s efforts in the search for alien life”, this Friday (November 30th) on Coast to Coast AM with Art Bell.

Find your local radio station and catch the show."

I stream from this link: http://www.610cktb.com/
Show starts a 1AM Eastern if you are up late tonight. :)

This just struck me as terribly funny.

Abstract
Among a fringe community of paranoids, aluminum helmets serve as the protective measure of choice against invasive radio signals. We investigate the efficacy of three aluminum helmet designs on a sample group of four individuals. Using a $250,000 network analyser, we find that although on average all helmets attenuate invasive radio frequencies in either directions (either emanating from an outside source, or emanating from the cranium of the subject), certain frequencies are in fact greatly amplified. These amplified frequencies coincide with radio bands reserved for government use according to the Federal Communication Commission (FCC). Statistical evidence suggests the use of helmets may in fact enhance the government's invasive abilities. We speculate that the government may in fact have started the helmet craze for this reason."

First off, what's the deal with all the nooses everywhere lately?

Secondly - what is a self-proclaimed witch? Is that something like a self -proclaimed Christian, and, if so, why don't you ever see it written like that?

"BAKERSFIELD, Calif. -- A hangman's noose was found outside a spiritual bookstore in Bakersfield run by a self-proclaimed witch.

Police are calling the noose discovered at Altar Bookshoppe, which sells occult books and supplies in Old Town Kern suspicious."

No mention of it being called a hate crime, or counted as one. I guess that is how you know your particular 'group' is REALLY a persecuted minority. KGET first did a story about local residents who practice witchcraft on Halloween, they say shortly after the story aired, a noose was hung on their door.

Olviares says the hangman's noose hung on her Old Town Kern Book Shop is a hate crime.

But it's not being classified as a hate crime because, she says, the store is not considered a place of worship. Word in the pagan community is that this particular police department has been very lax about even looking into crimes against pagans.

This is ONE smart cat!

He gets on the 331 bus several times a week, rides down the road to the Fish and Chips joint, gets and gets off.

"Since January, when the cat first caught the bus he has done it two or three times a week and always gets on and off at the same stops. "

Pretty neat. Smart cat. :)

Scientists at North Carolina's PULSTAR nuclear reactor facility fired a positron bean five times stronger than any other ever created earlier this month, breaking a record previously held by a team in Germany. The antimatter device -- which apparently looks like a Star Trek warp reactor -- was developed as part of a two year project by NC State, the University of Michigan, and Oak Ridge National Labs. Now that the device is working, the team is looking for practical applications for the tech, including building an "antimatter telescope," which would allow even closer observations of atomic interactions. Or they could use it to blow up the universe. You know, whatever.

They should test it on Cheney.

You have to love her voice. She has the "Raspy" down. She's a hoot really. She says often that she is NOT in the business of being a psychic, but that she's been 'seeing' things. She has a metaphysical supply site.

She's gaining a lot of attention for her prediction of flooding in Texas and huge fires in Georgia and California "of the likes we've never seen before."

This is just one session of her predictions. She's going to be on C2C in a special interview with Art Bell this Friday, returning as a guest to interview her. They are long time friends.

Good "Halloween" fare!

Can You Guess My Son's Halloween Costume?

Oh come ON.

Why not just call it what it is?

Throttling. They are throttling the traffic so low that it is no longer worth it to try it.

It was a big selling point when my former network decided to go with Cisco. The salesman said - "Oh, yes, well you are academic, so you can't censor, but with our product, you can throttle it down so low no one will try it on your network."

That's rather underhanded, but customers don't know any better....do they?

"Comcast on Monday again denied that it was cutting off peer-to-peer access after a technology think tank posted two separate blog posts that backed up news reports of the ISP cutting access to the file sharing applications like BitTorrent and Gnutella.

"Comcast does not block access to any Web sites or online applications, including peer-to-peer services like BitTorrent," a Comcast spokeswoman said Monday. "

Comcasts says they are DELAYING, not stopping P2P/Bittorrent....
