Tell me human lives matter in politics & I'll agree, with reservations. In particular "Indian Reservations" would be an important exception these days it seems.
Dispite dire warnings from N.Y.State Troopers that attempting to collect N.Y. State tax on cigarettes sold (to non tribe members buying) from Native American stores could result in "violence and death" N.Y. Governor David A.Patterson has vowed to enforce $4.50 per pack NYS sales tax on cigs sold to non- Indian customers as soon as September 1st, Wednesday 2010.
All Tribes have refused to collect what appears to them to be an Out of Jurisdiction tax.
The western idea that United States citizens who are under bank, municipal, state, federal, corporate, jurisdiction and can therefore not act in free commerce with Indian Merchants is as foreign today to Native American Life and thinking as the private, state and federal ownership of property was in 1794 when they first signed treaties with the Great White Father and his minions.
But, can we say that Ethno-centrism is the reason Governor Patterson is stepping up the kind of rhetoric which can only be percieved as bellicose to Tribespersons state wide, even nationwide?
There was a saying I read on a noted educator's wall back when I worked as a civil servant for the State University of Old Westbury in Long Island N.Y. It said "A lack of proper planning on your part, does not constitute an emergency on my part".
It can be said that New York, & the United States are experiencing an economic down turn, the likes of which have not been seen since the great depression.
After making ethanol out of corn instead of hemp & allowing the drugs in Alcohol & tobacco to excape regulation by the FDA dispite their lethal hazards for so many years, and after living under a system of Aportionment re: the U.S.Constitution yet implementing systems of non- aportioned taxation on wages and income alike for decades & devolving from a Constitutionally prescribed specie of money to fiat currency & debt; does this now warrant war?

Mosque near Ground Zero
What people build on their property is ordinarily up to the property owner and the zoning board.
This particular proposal has created a firestorm. When have matters driven by faith done otherwize?
Not only has the narrative of how the World Trade Center was destroyed come under credentialed question (Architects and Engineers for 911 Truth), putting a Masque where it is not wanted is an invitation for vandalism and lawlessness similar to that experienced on other religiously contested holy sites.
If anything religious is built there it should be an all faiths chapel.
Secular folks have got to teach all religious to get along and share the planet, starting with just such a proposed religious space as this near ground zero.

1984 is here again for 2nd Handers!
Getting harder for the Sports Dude / Dudette to correlate sports team victories to anything at all. So, remember those sports figures are like Hercules and Achilles- Demi-Gods all. Rooting for them is the next best thing to actually being kin to Hera, Gaea, Athena, Aphrodite, Rhea, Psyche, Hestia, Poseidon, Hades, Apollo..., or Zeus himself !
"With the strength of ten men he slew 1,ooo of the enemy wielding only the jawbone of an ass." Yeah, that's some legacy Mr Samson.. (...for the Bible followers among us). We use Tomahawks that spew fire and travel at 550 mph nowadays.
With all of the U.S. military bases around the world, you'd run out of States before you could assign our fighting and support forces (offense & defense) a State to sponsor and root for each of them, (600+ over seas U.S. Military bases) even if we assigned each (of our 50) State(s) SIX Military Base "fighting forces" exclusively.
What detail those large screen TVs could show as our modern day Gladiators operate in their respective theaters of conflict.
But now we're told the entertainment is winding down at Oceania. The forces in Eurasia and East Asia are our Allies. Has it not always been so? In honor of our victory Chocolate rations are up 1/4 percent. That's double plus good isn't it Brothers and Sisters? Those inner party members really have a grip on things! When were trends ever better?
With the anti-sex leagues pulling out all the stops in the UAE, and Asia, our Military and corporate foot prints are going to have to get the latest newspeak dictionary from the inner party soon. Too much use of un-words and your cashiered as an un-person, like Winston and Julia! ...Agents of Goldstein! Failing to perfect your language means soon you'll be spending a stint in room 101, for thought crime.
" Here comes a candle to light you to bed. Here comes a chopper to chop off your head".

Some new U.S. Patent laws are heading our way.
Phone App not certified? Take your best shot!
Per the U.S. Patent office new rules.
The days of skimpy bandwidth, proprietary network exclusions of perfectly good software apps and Goat Footed Balloon Men are nearly over in the U.S.A. !!
"Charge it to my smart phone, please!!"
Credit card plastic? Hold the petroleum- I'll pay by tricorder.
My phone company is about to expand it's accounts billable to me. Could the "Bank writ be a thing of the past?
We'll be agreeing to abide by "all the rules of our phones" instead...!
Yeah, Not for nothing- Hewlett Packard has swallowed up PALM. I still have my Palm Treo 700P; the banks wish they owned phone companies ....

The Book of Eli; my own evaluation of the movie by C. Dember
I enjoyed the movie for it's action.
It's narrative reminded me of scenes from the movie Equilibrium (gun Katas of the priests) as well as a scene from the book and movie series "Dune" (The character Muad'Dib is blinded by a Stone Burner / tactical nuke- yet continues to move cogently about thanks to vision within prophesy.)
Herein lies the problem. As a work of fiction the way this book (a King James version of the Bible written in Braille) is narrated from memory by Eli- a resolute blind traveler at the end of his days is one thing. Such fiction should be compared to reality on this occasion to detect it's import.
Benjamin Banneker memorized the parts of a clock so as to reconstruct them in the new world. This is a fact. The technology of clock building was advanced and proliferated in this manner by a man who was a noun.
Nicola Tesla designed the alternating current power grid, the 3 phase a/c motor and the 3 phase a/c power station at Niagara Falls, Frank Lloyd Wright the Guggenheim Museum, patterned after the Nautilus shell.
Joan of Arc, as good as any man in battle, was done in by bankers and burned at the stake by the Catholic Church.
Adolf Hitler built the Third Reich while destroying the Jewish middle class and then took it to Ruin. Joseph Stalin killed millions in his quest for the ideal state.
Napoleon Bonaparte built an empire only to loose it.
There is always an I.D. bearing noun performing the executive functioning of creativity or destruction no matter if we're talking about the meteor that wiped out the dinosaurs or the Emperor Constantine at the Council of Nicaea.
The notion that persons or things act because they are directed by an I.D. lacking perfect being which is not therefore a noun- attempts to place such a theatrical device at cause over all outcomes when it is always a noun wielding the tools in plain sight!
The virtue such a device uses to attain it's value is always the faith in it possessed by a human being (noun). God(s), anthropomorphic, identity-less, parasitic software devices are a treason to humanity and all nouns at large! Any God(s) should therefore be rejected as impossible, specious & backward, a fictitious enterprise!
