Kessler Syndrome

Do you enjoy satellite television, high-speed communications, GPS, satellite weather forecasts, not having space debris land on your head, etc? It may all come to an end. The Kessler Syndrome describes the scenario where satellites hit other satellites or space debris producing more debris that strikes other satellites and so on until low earth orbit (LEO) is so cluttered that satellite use and space travel become impossible and space debris begins falling on populated areas. On February 10, 2009, Iridium 33, a 12-foot-long, 1200 pound communication satellite and Kosmos 2251, a 1-ton Russian military satellite collided 500 miles above Siberia at 26,000 mph generating a debris cloud that spread around the earth in just a few hours. As more and more debris build up in space, more collisions will take place until the Kessler Syndrome takes effect and the use of space comes to an end.

College Degrees

Half of the colleges that grant bachelor degree graduate fewer than 50% of their students. This means that most people are spending a lot of money on college and incurring lots of debt and have nothing to show for it. In an effort to graduate more students, many colleges lessen their requirements, which means that many of those that do graduate are still ignorant.

Pick and Choose

Some refer to biblical verses that condemn homosexuality while they ignore similar verses that condemn such things as wearing clothes made of two types of cloth or eating shellfish. To justify their beliefs, some say there are moral laws in the Bible, which never change, and other types of laws in the Bible, which can change. However, the Bible does not make these distinctions.

In his Sermon on the Mount, Jesus said, "Till heaven and earth pass, not one jot or one tittle shall pass from the law," and he condemned those would break "one of these least commandments …" Apparently Jesus gave all the laws equal importance.

Some believe that Christianity supplanted the Mosaic Law, but there is no place in the Bible that says it only supplanted certain Mosaic laws and not others. Quoting biblical verses to condemn homosexuals or other people or behaviors with which you do no agree, while ignoring other verses that condemn behaviors in which you participate is hypocrisy.

Idiots and the Mentally Ill

Idiots said it was cruel to keep the mentally ill confined in mental hospitals, so they passed laws that released them to the streets. Then the same idiots took up the cause to end the homelessness that they had caused. Many of these released patients committed crimes and were put in prisons. The idiots then complained that the mental ill prisoners are not receiving proper treatment for their mental illnesses, the treatment that they had been receiving in hospitals before being turned out on the streets. Why can’t idiots just quietly live their own lives; why do they constantly feel the need to force their idiocy upon the rest of us? I guess it is a symptom of being an idiot.

Be the First

Be the first to start a conspiracy website related to the death of Michael Jackson. Oops! Too Late! Maybe you can start the 213th conspiracy website related to the death of Michael Jackson.

Hate Crimes

In Jena, Louisiana, after Obamanites made the case a national cause, five black members of the Jena Six pleaded no contest to misdemeanor simple battery in the beating of white man simply because he was white and were sentenced to seven days unsupervised probation and fined $500. Anyone want to hazard a guess as to the outcome would have been had six whites attacked one black man.

Medal of Honor

The Medal of Honor is supposed to be difficult to receive, thus a person must demonstrate bravery "conspicuously by gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his [or her] life above and beyond the call of duty while engaged in an action against an enemy of the United States." However, since the Vietnam War, apparently another requisite for receiving the medal is that you be dead. For military actions that have occurred since United States forces withdrew from Vietnam in 1973, the Medal of Honor has been awarded eight times, all of them posthumously. If you perform an act of extraordinary bravery and live, you are awarded a lesser medal.

Appalling

When author Ann Coulter appeared on Bill O'Reilly's television program this week to discuss the murder of late-term abortionist Dr. George Tiller, she stated:

"I don't really like to think of it as a murder. It was terminating Tiller in the 203rd trimester."

As usual, people were all over the media discussing how this statement was appalling and disgusting. In their eyes, the statement is disgusting but terminating viable babies in the third trimester is commendable. Data from 2003 show that 6.2% of abortions were conducted during 13 to 15 weeks of gestation, 4.2% from 16 to 20 weeks, and 1.4% at or after 21 weeks. In 1997, the Guttmacher Institute estimated that, in the United States, the number of abortions performed past 24 weeks of gestation to be approximately 1,032 per year. Apparently, killing babies is okay but making a statement comparing the killing of babies to the killing of a baby killer is appalling.

What do we tell our children now?

We used to tell our children,“Do what is right because just one mistake could ruin the rest of your life.” However, this is no longer true. A case in point is Michel Jackson. His being a perverted, child molesting, freak who turned himself into a clown is overlooked because people who live in the past only want to remember about the good times they were having when they were listening to his music, not his perversions. They talk about his artistry as though his perversions never existed. It is similar to the way some talk about how great serial killer John Wayne Gacy’s paintings are, and the way he made children happy by dressing as a clown. People overlook Jackson’s perverted treatment of children and his freakish behavior because of his “contribution to the pop music.” The headline in today’s’ newspaper said Jackson “was a legend who helped shape a generation.” This is true! Thanks to him, two or three generations of young boys learned what it was like to be “touched” by legend. Jackson’s behavior says a lot about him as a person, but the public’s reaction to his behavior says a lot about them. Thanks to Michael Jackson and his ilk, we now have to tell our children, “Do what is right, unless you become a celebrity; then you can do whatever you want and it will be overlooked.”

Apology

There are some who want an apology from Congress for its part in slavery 200 years ago. Why don’t they issue an apology to the Indians for Columbus coming to America? Why don’t they issue an apology to Mexico for taking Texas from them? Why don’t they issue an apology to the Chinese for using them to build railroads? Some people’s lives are so mundane that the only way they can find purpose in them is to dwell in the distant past. Since they have no skills or ambition to change the present or affect the future, they live under the delusion that they can change the past. Since most people know the past cannot be changed and do not worry about it, it give these misfits free reign to carry out their idiocy. They should learn from past mistakes and then move forward instead of backward.

Get a life

On October 10, 1809, Meriwether Lewis, of the famed Lewis and Clark expedition of 1804, died of gunshot wounds. He had no children, yet today, about 200 very distant relatives want the National Park Service to allow them to exhume his body to see if there is any evidence as to whether his death was suicide or murder. These people need to get a life, and then maybe they would not have to live in the past.

Eco Idiots

Everything is green. People think that if they buy green it will save the world. Ads and labels proclaim how products are eco-friendly or biodegradable under the guidelines issued by the Federal Trade Commission in 1992. However, no one is insuring the ads and labels are truthful. Since May 2000, the FTC has taken legal action against only three companies for breaking the guidelines and those all occurred on the same day, June 9, 2009, the day Congress began hearings about environmental marketing.

When everyone does a little bit for the environment, it adds up to a small, insignificant improvement. However, if everyone made major changes in their lifestyles to improve the environment, major, significant improvements could be made. The problem is that major changes mean giving up things we enjoy, while small changes, even though they mean little improvement to the environment, make us feel good about ourselves as we go about our daily lives damaging the environment in other major ways.

Work Ethic

Our society has created a nation of leeches who think they are entitled to everything and should not have to work or fight to earn or keep it. They think that everything should come to them; they should not have to work for it. Fighting for our freedom got us where we are but people now think that fighting to protect the freedom is wrong, especially if they might have to do the fighting. I’ve had employees question why they did not get a raise or a promotion, especially since they come to work on time everyday and do their job. I tell them that is why they still have the job; it does not make them worthy of promotion. You are eligible for a new position once you can do the work required of that position or have proven that you are capable of quickly learning to do it and doing it well. You do not get rewarded for doing the minimums; you get rewarded for doing much more than the minimums. In the Navy, I had sailors who volunteered for the Navy for all the benefits it offered, but, when they realized they might have to fight in war and may get injured or killed, they wanted out. When you have a society that will bail you out when you fail and give you free food, shelter, clothing, and medical care, what is the incentive to do more?

Endangered

Human males are endangered. During this recession, 80% of them lost their jobs. The jobs they do hold are some of the most dangerous, as opposed to the less dangerous jobs that females hold. During the six-year-old Iraq War, 98% of the injured and killed are male. Many of the injured have permanent life altering injuries. Since no one wants to be accused of harming a woman’s ability to have children or harming any possible children they may have, medical testing is usually conducted using males. Males live an average of five years less than females. Males, especially white males, are blamed for every problem ever faced by humans since the dawn of time.

Why not do your best?

In his autobiography Why Not the Best? President Jimmy Carter tells about his interview with Admiral Hyman Rickover, the father of the nuclear Navy, who served on active duty until he was 83 years old. Admiral Rickover personally interviewed every prospective nuclear officer and he made the interviews tough on the novice officers.

When President Carter had his interview, the Admiral asked him what his standing was in his graduating class at the Naval Academy. President Carter said "I swelled my chest with pride and answered, sir, I stood 59th in a class of 820!" and then I sat back to wait for the congratulations.

Instead of congratulations, the Admiral asked, "Did you do your best?" President Carter said he started to answer, "Yes sir," but he thought about who he was talking to, gulped, and admitted, "No sir, I didn’t always do my best." President Carter said the Admiral just looked at him for the longest time and then asked only one more question, which the President said he has never been able to forget, and which he was never able to answer—the Admiral asked, "Why not?"

Grass is Greener

When you look over your fence at your neighbor’s yard, it looks so lush and green. When you look down at your own yard, it has small dead spots and weeds. However, when you walk around in your neighbor’s yard, you see it also has small dead sports and weeds. If you look back toward your own yard, it now looks lush and green. It’s only a matter of perspective.
Many people in the United Sates look at European countries as being so much better than America and say we should emulate them. However, people around the world are clamoring to immigrate to the United States, not to these European countries. When you look more closely at other countries, you see they have the same number of problems as we do, sometimes more. Stop trying to emulate others and celebrate what you are.

Moral Dilemma

When people ask me my opinion on what they should do about some moral dilemma, I tell them that they already know the answer. If they have morals, they already know what they should do; it just that doing the right thing is difficult sometimes and they are trying to get out of doing it by getting someone else to tell them it is okay not to do it. If they do not have morals, then they would not be asking someone what they should do since they would not be having a moral dilemma.

Excuses

It seems the norm nowadays is to make excuses for failure. In the military, we do not want to hear excuses. If you fail, commanders only want to know what happened, how quickly it can be fixed, and how to insure it will not happen again—not why it was no your fault that it happened. Rarely occurring fixable mistakes are allowed, otherwise, there may be repercussions later, either in performance evaluations or promotions, or possibly by receiving non-judicial or judicial punishment. There is no time for excuses during war, the job must get done and done quickly. If you do it right the first time, there will be no need for excuses.

Play Hard — Work Hard

I constantly hear people say that, while they play hard, they also work hard. However, this only the opinion of the person saying it. The opinion of the one that matters is the person’s employer. While the person may play hard and still be able to work harder than some other employees, the question for an employer is, “Would this person be able to work even harder if he or she did not play so hard?” As an employer, I want employees that do their best and get the job done the best it can be done in a cost effective and timely manner. After that, they can play as hard as they wish. In my experience, many of those who play hard do not work as hard as they could or should.

Murder

For centuries, the crime of murder has been defined as the willful, deliberate, and premeditated killing of a person. For you be convicted of first degree murder, it must be proven that you killed with the intention to kill. Contrary to what is depicted on television shows, motive is not required for conviction. Now some want to make motive an element of the crime. They think that the murder’s feelings about the victim should be an element of the crime. They think that murder should be a greater crime if the killer hates the victim; that a hating killer is worse than a loving killer.

Not only to these people think that motive should be considered, these people think that they should be the ones to pick which motives are worse than others. For example, they consider killing a person because of his or her sexual orientation or race is worse than killing a person because of his or her job or weight. To them, if you kill a person because he or she is homosexual, it is worse than killing a person because he or she is ugly. Then, if you do not agree with their opinion, you are labeled as a homophobe or a racist.

Digital Changeover

After years of notification and extra three months of preparation time, millions of people still are not ready for the change from analog to digital over the air television transmission. There is no excuse for this, except that they must not have been watching television anyway.

Money for Schools

Governments always want more money for schools. Think back, during your lifetime, no matter your age, you will remember the government saying that public education is failing our children and that, if we only spend more money on education, it will improve. This usually means building more schools and raising teach salaries. The premise being that a child learns better in new school named after a benefactor, and that a child especially learns better if the teacher is highly paid. Well, that has worked out great over the last two hundred years hasn’t it?

North Carolina started a lottery. To get it approved, they said all the profits would go toward education. How has that worked out? It hasn’t; there are still pleas about needing more money for education. The lottery money was not used in addition to what was already being spent on education; it only replaced a portion of it. The money that would have normally been spent on education was then freed for pork barrel spending.
Money for education is merely a political ploy to fool the voters; voters who, due to the education system, apparently are under educated and easily fooled.

Faith

I hear an evangelist saying that we cannot prove man walked on the moon, that we can only have faith that we are being told the truth. He said that the word of 14 men who said they walked on the moon, the thousands of photographs, the millions of dollars of equipment that still exists, the moon soil and rocks, the word or thousands of NASA employers, etc. are not proof that man walked on the moon. He says that those who believe we did are just relying upon faith that it is true. This should also apply to his believing that the Bible is the true word of God. Although there is ample proof that man walked on the moon, there is proof that the Bible is the word of God —other than, it says it is.

The followers of Heaven’s Gate had faith that the mother ship was behind the Hale Bopp comet as it passed near the earth and that the ship was coming to take them home. They had so much faith that they committed mass suicide to travel to the ship. Radical Muslims have so much faith that they will be rewarded after death if they kill infidels that they are willing to kill themselves in the process of killing non-believers. These groups seem to have more faith than Christians since they believe so much in their faiths that they are willing to die for them.

The faithful do not need proof that they are right and there can never be enough proof to prove them wrong.

Tax a Right

According to Obama, it is the right of every American to have affordable health care insurance. Then Obama wants to tax any health care benefits you may receive from your employer. Apparently, he thinks rights are something to be taxed. First he tells you must have it whether you want it or not, and then he taxes it. Just wait until he taxes your right to worship or your right to speak against him.

Image of Jesus

People keep seeing the image of Jesus everywhere. In trees, in bagels, walls, in windows, in cereal, etc. How do they know how Jesus looks, either at the age of 33 or now, after over 2,000 years? Just as people hear what they want to hear, they see what they want to see

Outrage

Everyday someone is outraged by something. People are not longer irritated, bothered, upset, or angry, they are always outraged. If people would get an education, some integrity,  and a life, they would not feel the needed to be outraged all the time.

North Carolina Democrats

Democrats have been in control of North Carolina for decades. Mike Easley, the democrat governor until last January, is under investigation for numerous allegation of using taxpayer money for personal gain. In 2005, during his term as governor, a job was created at N. C. State University for his wife, Mary. The job cobbled together four part-time roles where she was to create and direct a public safety center, run a speakers series, coordinate law-related academic programming, and teach half a class each semester. Last year the university even gave her an 88% raise. Due to fallout from how the governor and school officials collaborated on creating and giving her the job, the chancellor, provost, and chairman of the board of trustees have all resigned, but Mary still refused to resign. Now that communications have been found that show how the governor and university officials conspired to create the job, the university has finally fired her. Now we taxpayers an count on her suing the school and using up more taxpayer money. She needs to take Obama’s lead and apologize, and then offer reparations to the state.

Appalled

18-year-old Jem Lugo recently graduated from Springstead High School with a 3.98 GPA and will be attending Harvard in the fall. She is also the valedictorian of her class so delivered a speech at graduation. However, she did not get to deliver the speech she wanted to. When she submitted her original draft to Principal Susan Duval, she was told to "start over" and the senior class sponsor was “appalled” at the speech.

What was so appalling? What did she say?  A few examples:

"We survived 13 grueling years of school, all for this moment, where we get to wear gowns that kind of remind me of a silk version of a Snuggie, and these hats that make every single one of us look absolutely ridiculous. Hate to break it to you, but no one looks good in these hats. Even you, Ben Noury."

"First off, get money. You can't do anything without money. Do something with your life where you're able to have a steady, reliable, source of income. Gamers, I'm sorry, but farming for gold in World of Warcraft is not considered a RELIABLE, or socially-acceptable source of income."

"But, the most important thing that I can tell you tonight is to remember where you came from. You were an eagle once. We've been through four long years here. Some of us have loved it, some of us have hated it, but we all had to endure it, and for all of us, it's finally over. What's Springstead going to be like without us?"

Principal Duval, who has been fined for plagiarizing graduation speeches that she made, said the speech was too real. She said she understood Lugo's aim for originality but warned the speech might offend some.

Sex Education

Apparently, humans are the only animals that must have sex education to be able to have sex and promulgate the species. Children graduate from high school not knowing how to comprehensively read so they believe convoluted writings, not knowing how to write a paragraph that make any sense so they cannot put their thoughts to words, not knowing basic arithmetic so they conned by bad mortgagees and fraudulent money making schemes,  not knowing how to speak clearly, concisely, and correctly so they are unable to articulate their ideas, and knowing little about United States or world history, basic economics, politics, or science. However, they do know about deviant sexual conduct.

AIDS

Millions of dollars are spent on AIDS education. What do you need to know about AIDS? It is a deadly disease. If you do not engage in promiscuous, unprotected sex (especially of the anal variety) and it you do not share needles (as in using illegal drugs), your chance of acquiring AIDS is miniscule. That’s it! So, why are millions spent on AIDS education? To make the educators rich and to excuse the behavior that causes AIDS to spread.

Too young, too old

When young people commit crimes, people say they are too young to be responsible for their actions since the brains have not developed enough to make rational decisions. However, when young people need abortions, birth control, or treatment for things such as AIDS, people say they are old enough to make r decisions about their own lives without parental permission. When old people make the wrong financial decisions, people say they are too old to make rational decisions about their lives sin their brains have slowed down and their thinking has become faulty. However, when it comes to being a politician or a judge, it appears one can never be too old to make decisions about the lives of others.

The way things work out

The indoor coil on my original equipment 12-year-old air-conditioning unit is leaking. It would cost about $1,400 to replace it, but then I would still have the old system to deal with. It will cost about $4,900 to replace the entire A/C system with a modern heat pump, using the old attached natural gas furnace as a backup heating source. If I replace the furnace with a new high efficiency unit, I get a $300 rebate from the gas company and qualify for a $1,500 federal tax credit, so for an extra $600 I can get a new furnace. Without the furnace, I would not qualify for the $1,500 federal tax credit.

Inclusion

A local Christian church near a high school held a baccalaureate ceremony to honor graduating Christian seniors who were graduating from the school. Some parents of school graduates complained that students of other religions should have been included in the ceremony. I guess they thought Jews or Muslims should have been honored at a Christian ceremony. Some other local baccalaureate ceremonies were held for black students, no one complained that no white students were at the ceremonies. White Christians must include everyone in everything they do; whereas everyone else may exclude anyone.

Baldness

Here are some problems that occur in the Human Manufacturing Department of Heaven.
On the head assembly line, the motto is “Don’t worry about mistakes, just cover them with hair!”

In the head engineering division, engineers many times want to add more brains to some heads, without changing the overall structure of the skull. They have found that if they design some skulls to allow the brain to grow larger by pushing out hair roots, they can increase the intelligence of these heads.

In the head engineering division, they found that hair growth is controlled by the contents of the skull. It is similar to grass growing much thicker over the cesspool in a yard. Hair that grows on a skull with a brain that is full of shit grows much thicker.

Engineers also found that energy saved in one area may be used in another area. Thus, the energy saved by not growing hair may be used for thinking.

More Freedom of Speech

In the United States, you have the freedom to behave any legal way you wish to behave. You may cover yourself with tattoos or piercings, you may wear outrageous clothing, you may party like an animal, you may choose to be homeless, you may eat until you are obese, etc. However, just don’t say or do anything that upsets the status quo.
There are two classes of people in the United Sates: the lords and serfs. Each class has freedom of speech amongst its members as it applies to the class. Therefore, the lords have freedom of speech amongst themselves, and the serfs have freedom of speech amongst themselves. However, the lords have freedom of speech over the serfs, while, the serfs are condemned for any speaking against the lords. The lords allow you freedom as long as you don’t interfere with their lives or challenge their elite status as the standard setters of what is best for themselves and the serfs. If you question their authority, they will attack you, ostracize you,  and drive you out of the village.

Freedom of Speech

Why is it that when a white person criticizes a black person, he is called racist; but when a black person criticizes a white person, she said to be exercising her freedom of speech? Why is it that when a man criticizes a woman, he is called sexist; but when a woman criticizes a man, it is said that she is only stating a fact? Why is it that when whites complain about illegal immigrants, they are considered to be insensitive isolationists; but when blacks complain about illegal immigrants, they are considered to be concerned citizens? It appears that freedom of speech and personal opinions are only applicable to the elitists who think they have all the answers; the great-unwashed masses are just a bunch of uneducated, unenlightened idiots.
