TECH WEBSITE: strictly no photography

strictly no photography
***Begin Quote***
About us
Strictly no photography is a photo-sharing site for photographs taken where you are not allowed to take them. From the inside of the Kremlin to Kensington palace, from art galleries to war zones. Here you can see everything you’ve ever wanted to see that you’re not supposed to. There are pictures that range from the ordinary to the profound. Whatever the content or the quality though we think that each one stands as a little piece of art in itself, as a little expression of personal liberty.
Our mission
To organize the world’s forbidden visual information and make it universally accessible and useful.
Contact
Our friendly team are always ready and willing to answer any questions you might have. You can contact us here.
The magic
What you can capture in the shot that’s not allowed is unique. It can be in the surreptitious nature of it’s blur taken at speed or on the move with a long exposure. It can be in the crooked framing, taken on the skew shot from the hip or over an onlooker’s shoulder. Shoot first then aim. Intriguing things seem to happen without the overriding intervention of the logical mind. The best shots are the ones loaded with the kind of flair and spontaneity that might never have been caught if you had thought too hard about it, if you’d had longer, if you were allowed. Oh, and remember to turn off the flash.

Maybe it’s my self image as a James Dean rebel coming out!
(Don’t you think I look a little like him?)
I remember seeing such a sign on the Goethals Bridge here in the Pepuls Republik of Nu Jerzee. And, I thought “where do the get off making such a diktat”.
Push back. Snap a pic and send it it.
Viva la revolution!

RANT: The Fair Tax ain’t fair

End the IRS: Get the FairTax and Get Your Whole Paycheck
December 24, 2007 | By Jack Yoest
*** begin quote ***
Mike Huckabee, “is the change agent the nation most needs.” From The Dallas Morning News endorsement from delegate rich Texas.
FairTax An example of this change Huckabee advocates is ending, eliminating, closing down a government agency: the Internal Revenue Service. The beloved IRS.
Kyle Hamilton is blogging on the FairTax on mymanmitt, founded by my good friend Justin Hart. They are skeptical of real tax change. Our competitors supporting Romney do not believe that real change is possible, or maybe not necessary.
*** end quote ***
Sorry, but you’ve been duped. The Fair Tax ain’t fair. In a short comment it’s not possible to go into all the rationale for this statement, but lets just hit two points.
(1) Unless the Sixteenth Amendment is repealed prior to the implementation of the Fair Tax [and not the wimpy Congress passed law that promises to repeal it], you can be assured that we will have both the National Sales Tax / Fair Tax AND the income tax. We’ve been fooled many times — income tax only for the rich, social security will never taxable, IRAs never had RMDs at first, and many other “camels” that have stuck their nose in — why would you trust the politicians now?
(2) Taxation in any form is THEFT. By what moral authority does the majority impose this “theft”? If a tax isn’t truly voluntary, then it is coerced. This is supposed to be the “land of the free”. What a joke!
No, sorry, we are on the “road to serfdom”. The sheep are being enslaved by degrees. Our revolutionary “fore fathers” would be ashamed at what we have let happen to the American Experiment.
Sorry, but only Ron Paul is pointing the way out of this mess. You can nuke the IRS by cutting spending back to Clinton era numbers.
Without a fundamental revolution, the Fair Tax does NOTHING for the largest tax we pay — the Inflation Tax.
The Fair Tax is at best a flawed distraction — lipstick on one ugly pig — to take our eye off the ball.
Sorry, but I respectfully disagree.
# – # – #
Ahh, the Socialists are in full bloom. Trying to steal Ron Paul’s thunder — end the IRS — while maintaining the status quo.
The empty suits of both parties are just that “empty suits” who want to keep the current system going along.
If you don’t solve the problem of “honest money”, nothing else matters. If you don’t solve the problem of “Congressional spending”, nothing else matters. If you don’t solve the problem of “unfunded entitlements”, nothing else matters.
If Ron Paul doesn’t get the nod, then we are in the run away elevator to the bottom. Right next to the Roman Empire. And, all the broken dreams of freedom.

INTERESTING: The “Christmas truce”
Tuesday, December 25, 2007THIS DAY IN HISTORY: from The Free Dictionary
The “Christmas Truce” of World War I (1914)
***Begin Quote***
The “Christmas truce” of 1914, which took place between British and German troops stationed on the Western Front of WWI, left a lasting legacy of mutual respect, kindness, and honor. The unofficial cease-fire began after British troops responded to German caroling with Christmas songs of their own.
***End Quote***
Like the End of Prohibition due to Jury Nullification, all we need are a few good men to step up and say “no”. If you read the whole entry, then imho there must be a special place in hell for the “leaders” who prevented Peace from breaking out.

INTERESTING: prescriptions for human conduct

Foundation of Catholic Social Doctrines: By Adrian Calderone
Posted on December 22, 2007 by james mary evans
***Begin Quote***
Catholic social doctrines are catholic in a double sense. First, they are taught by the Catholic Church. Second, they are catholic, or universal, in scope. They apply to everyone regardless of religion. Catholic social precepts are universal because their foundation is derived from what is common to all human beings. This foundation comprises principles of natural law, human dignity and fellowship.
1. Natural Law
Natural law is the law of nature.1 We can define natural law as the prescriptions for human conduct derived from reason as applied to the nature of things. By “prescriptions for human conduct” I mean what we ought to do or not to do. Reason, of course, is a fundamental basis for any law. There’s the old saying that where reason ends, so ends the law. And by the nature of things we mean reality, the way things act by their nature, and that includes human nature. This definition also presupposes some purpose. The Ten Commandments are a concise statement of natural law principles.
***End Quote***
I found this because the author is a Jasper Chemical Engineer!
Jaspers come out of Manhattan College with more than just a piece of paper in their tech discipline. Everyone gets “eddycated”. Even the “injineering barbarians”.
Interesting that this identifies the basis of all human rights.
Well done, and worth a read.

TECH HARDWARE: OLPC hardware on order
Sunday, December 23, 2007In my spare time (ha!), I have decided to “learn” the OLPC. It just has some tremendous potential. Under the G1G1 program, I should have mine shortly. I figure I can be at least as good as the Thrid World child who gets one. Maybe not. The child has time, motivation, and focus. Maybe I can do almost as good? :-)

You haven’t seen anything yet! You don’t think that all those that suck off the public teat are going to just give up and get a “real job”? Politicians, bureaucrats, and their “sicko-pants” have too much “invested” in the current system.

MONEY: Annual Purchase Limit For Savings Bonds Set at $5,000
Friday, December 21, 2007http://www.survivalblog.com/2007/12/odds_n_sods_635.html
***Begin Quote***
SurvivalBlog reader Mary R. forwarded us this odd notice from the US Treasury: Annual Purchase Limit For Savings Bonds Set at $5,000. Could the Treasury have been warned that the Fed plans to further lower interest rates, potentially making even low-yield savings bonds more attractive? We live in strange times, dear readers.

Very very strange!
