About the Morally Superior

The case can be made that anyone who is truly racist is crazy. After all, no one got to pick their body at birth. And similarly, anyone who actually believes in their own moral superiority could also be argued to be 'crazy'. Sane people are just not that myopic.
As Jesus said (paraphrased), when confronted with the eating of non-kosher food, "it is not what a man puts in his mouth but rather what comes out of his mouth that defileth him". And so it is with crazy people. My arguing that people who spew ad-hominem attacks are crazy isn't an ad-hominem attack, but rather it is just a definition. If you insinuate that another person's motives are inferior to your own, you are exposing both your simple mindedness and your misguided egomania, not to mention a childish meanness.
If only President Trump had a decent speech writer. He could call out more effectively, that all the verbal hate spewed against him come from people who are suffering from some degree of craziness because no sane person would ever actually, intensely believe that they are either so much smarter than another person or so much more virtuous than another person that they would allow themselves to be defiled by the viciousness that comes out of their mouths. It is like watching someone possessed by a demon. The vile and vitriol that continually spews out of many on the left is like watching the exorcist. Perhaps if Trump were to explain this phenomenon in these terms, some may be able to see themselves from the perspective of sane people, who have enough self-awareness to not defile themselves in such a reprehensible manner.

$27 trillion questions

 In that our country's financial underpinnings are a runaway train, it needs to be asked, "What exactly is meant by the term 'national debt' and why must interest, determined by the private Federal Reserve (FR), be paid on it?" And the most important question is "where do those interest payments go?" The FR was created in 1913 whereby the ordinary functions of the Treasury were given to private bankers. They invented the concept that they would be, not only the controllers, but the source of our nation's finances. The way it works is, if the government spends more than it takes in, the FR would 'loan' the govt money by printing it into existence and thereafter, the govt would be required to pay 'interest' on the 'loan' ad infinitum and that interest rate would be set by the FR. The explanation for this arrangement was that the FR was needed to regulate the availability of money to spur or retard the rate of growth to control i...

Nearly as Simple as the Sun

An ideal reactor can be all but authenticated using computer simulation, probably within a day. Our engineering and computing capabilities are clearly sufficient. And all it would take to prove it is the decision to challenge the assertion. So why does this assertion matter to you? Because Germany pays upwards of 25 cents a Kw-hr for electricity when it could be produced for one-tenth that. But if no one in the working class can be bothered to agitate on this issue, then perhaps, the peasants really don't need air conditioning. The sad thing about astronomical electricity costs is that it always hurts the people who are just barely scraping by, the most. The truth about nuclear energy is that an ideal reactor can be built that is nearly as simple as nature's perfect reactor, the Sun. And the fact that the Sun exists negates the attitude that anyone can discount, out of hand, the claim that a man-made reactor can be nearly as simple. The existence of the Sun means that anyone wh...

If They can Kill Your Parents.......

They will almost certainly kill you. But before I elaborate, I must state, indisputably, that at no point and in no way am I accusing the NY, NJ, and MN governors of premeditated mass murder. Rather, I am asserting that lacking any rational and credible explanation to the contrary, the most likely motive for any person's actions is the anticipated results; not to be confused with the actual results. Since no governor has offered an alternative explanation for putting Wuhanic plaque patients into a population of the most vulnerable nursing home residents, it remains true that the most likely motive for their actions were the actual results, which are also the most anticipated results; the untimely and unnecessary deaths of thousands of elderly people. If in fact these governors are capable of, and did in fact, act with such viciousness, then it is incumbent on the victim's survivors to act. Short of a convincing explanation, if the survivors of NY and NJ nursing homes do not fi...
