“Oh, now there’s only one kind of love that lasts. That’s unrequited love. It stays with you forever.” – Woody Allen

Nah!

You hit the right opposite and you wake up several decades later and say “it was over in a minute”!

“Are there any particular emotions that you want to explore?”

I’ve always thought in paradigms and memes!

Paradigm = how you perceive the real world.

Meme = the rules of thumb in how you react and process your perceptions?

My (now passed) wife taught me “loyalty” as a meme. And, “acceptance” (still not sure what that is?)

What’s “emotion”?

“love”, “hate”, “friendship”, “fraternity” … … ???

(Beats the hell out of me!)

“Fear” is emotion to expect the worse when the cop hit me with the blue lights look of a drunken drive. (He just had the wrong night?)

Is there another “architectural” construct of human beings that I am as unaware of as “Sheldon” in TBBT?

Argh!

I have challenge a friends daughter in law to a donation to the Autism charity of her choice if she’ll dye her hair blue. TO add a little zest, I’ve offered to dye mine blue if there’s a 500$ donation.

As Doctor Zia said: “No partial credit”; the price is 500$ in sum.

Banking and the State

by Thorsten Polleit

At other end of the spectrum is the stationary bandit. Like the roving bandit, he also holds the monopoly of coercion over his victims.

However, the stationary bandit has an encompassing interest in society’s welfare. He wishes to keep his victims producing: the more his victims produce, the more there is to take for the stationary bandit.

Sharing in society’s losses, the stationary bandit will make sure that his thievery is limited. The higher the losses in production from thievery are, the lower will be the level of aggression at which the stationary bandit’s take is maximized. The stationary bandit’s time preference will therefore be lower than the time preference of the roving bandit.

*****

A great discription of the Federal Reserve System, (which isn’t Federal; reserves nothing; and only a ‘system’ as like OPEC for money!), “stationary bandit”!

Argh!

Any suspicion that the sign diverting “thru traffic” on to the Richmond 295 bypass, was to feed “speeders” into the radar traps set up there?

YEah, it was just coincidence!

And, I’m lucky in that I smeeled a rat and set the cruise at 60. (Five under!) And watched them ruin some ppor slobs day off!

Coincidence my A double q!

Interesting in that follows from WordPress are other bloggers. Don’t really understand it. Have a lot more followers than readers. Maybe my stuff provides a springboard for someone to write something different. Strange. 

Can I get some regular blood donations?

Got to get this done. I promised.

Dear Friend,

This is a critical week for New Jersey.

This week the United States Congress will vote on a Sandy Relief Package that will provide $60.4 billion to help New Jersey and other states recover and rebuild from the devastation of Superstorm Sandy.

While $60 billon is an incredible amount of money, numbers alone fail to paint the full picture of what we have seen throughout New Jersey. The full story lies in the faces of displaced people who find themselves homeless; their possessions and keepsakes gone. The full story lies with the small business owners who have had to shut their doors.

The preliminary damage estimate provided by Governor Christie is now up to $36.9 billion. So $60.4 billion in federal disaster relief funding to be spread across the region is a good start. But we must pass the Sandy Relief Package quickly, and in its entirety, so we can tell New Jerseyans that they are not alone; that all Americans are in this together. This vote says that we are ready as a nation to help families, businesses, and communities recover.

Yesterday, on the Senate floor, I once again made the case for New Jersey. I made the case for New Jersey families and small businesses still trying to recover; for homeowners in Little Ferry; shopkeepers in Moonachie; for every family who lost property and possessions all along the Jersey Shore and across the State; for our commuters who rely on public transportation to get to school and work; for those who lost power and went without fuel.

And, while some of my Republican colleagues may not be able to fathom the sheer scope of the damage, I explained that entire neighborhoods — where several generations of families lived in close-knit communities – are now gone; that thousands of decades-old small businesses are ruined. I pointed out that even though those scenes are no longer showing in living rooms across the country, it doesn’t mean that the recovery is over.

The need is clear for the passage of the entire Sandy Relief Package. A piecemeal recovery will be a stalled recovery and, in all likelihood, a failed recovery. And failure to recover and rebuild New Jersey’s infrastructure, economy, small businesses and communities is not an option.

This is one country: the United States of America. And when there was destruction along the entire Gulf Coast with Katrina, or a tornado in Joplin, Missouri, or crop destruction in the Midwest, we have come together as a nation to support these communities. The time is now for all members of Congress to stand with New Jersey, just as we have stood with them in times of crisis and natural disasters.

New Jersey has been battered, but we are not broken. We are stronger and more united in our efforts to work together to recover, rebuild, and recommit ourselves to uniting around our common concerns and shared values. That is the lesson we have learned, and together we will rebuild. The Garden State will bloom once again.

And I for one will not rest until the rebuilding is done.

Sincerely,

Robert Menendez

United States Senator

Why, o why, am I so cynical?

What’s in the bill?

And, why is it a Federal problem?

Sorry, but the Gooferement isn’t insurance.

Or even kind.

The politicians and bureaucrats steal from us. distribute our own fnds, and then claim the mantle of sainthood for themselves.

Argh!

Dear Friend,

The senseless, horrific tragedy that took place in Newtown, Connecticut last Friday has shaken us all to our cores. We ask ourselves, why? Today, I spoke on the Senate floor to join with every American in expressing our deep and abiding grief as a nation and our deepest — most heartfelt — condolences to the families of the victims.

As the father of two, this strikes painfully close to my heart, painfully close to the heart of every parent. There is no greater sorrow — no deeper pain — than the enormous grief that these families are suffering: 20 innocent children, 6 teachers and school employees and their families. No parent should ever have to bear the unspeakable pain of losing a child, especially to this type of tragedy.

Enough is enough.

We must ensure the Newtown tragedy marks a turning point when we are all willing to come together and do what’s right. As we pray for the victims, I believe we must commit ourselves — as a nation — to a long-overdue debate about gun violence and how we help those who suffer mental illnesses in our society.

We must finally pass common sense gun laws. No more politics. No more excuses.

Sincerely,

Robert Menendez

United States Senator

Woolly Hats and Heart Attacks

by Lizzie Bennett

Medically Speaking

*** begin quote ***

Each winter there is a myriad of articles published warning us about the dangers of hypothermia, how to spot it and what to do about it. There are articles warning about cold injuries such as frostbite, warnings to the elderly about the dangers of not keeping at least one room warm. Warnings to get the boiler serviced in case carbon monoxide builds up if its faulty. We are warned that we may need extra vitamins, warned to drive carefully, warned to take care if using candles and warned not to leave the lights on the Christmas tree switched on overnight. Not once, anywhere in this plethora of warnings have I heard the one that warns you that you are more likely to suffer a heart attack if you don’t wear a warm hat in cold weather.

*** end quote ***

Makes a believer out of me.

Interesting that my work location is always cold. Even in summer time.

The women are always saying it. And, recently, I couple of ties I felt it. Power of Suggestion? Anyone who knows me that I like it at “Meat Locker” temps. Wife used have a blanket when we took car trips. (Although I always thought she was being sarcastic.)

Maybe there is something to the article.

Maybe if I wear a hat, gloves, and a scarf in the office they think I’ve gone around the bend  and pay men off?

Then, it’ll off to New Hampshire to get warm.

Re: “Making ‘Voluntary’ Service Mandatory—One Step At A Time”, by C. Jeffery Small

*** begin quote ***

I continue to be amazed that people who call Heinlein’s Starship Troopers fascistic for suggesting that honestly voluntary service a condition of voting or holding office

*** end quote ***

What was wrong with that concept?

I always thought that this would filter out the grifters and war mongers!

Remember Heinlein’s idea was not just warriors, but all sorts of dirty dangerous jobs that make one value being part of the body politic.

After Tuesday night’s stunning … …

… (to me; how could the Catholic, the Jews, and the under/un employed be so dumb?) …

… … results, I’ll refrain from further political predictions.

Got the electoral count right; just got it the wrong way.

In light of my “great success” as political predictor, I’ll retire with my record of incorrect calls. Like the weathermen, I just keep you amused with know-it-all blather

I will now begin the litany of: “Don’t blame me, I voted for Ron Paul”, “Shut up and enjoy Obamacare”, and my personal l favorite “Have you heard about the Free State Project? I’m moving nlt January 2017″.
