Pipl – People Search
Welcome to the Deep Web
There are various reasons why you might need to search for people, you may need to find a lost relative, an old flame, a classmate or a business contact – but if you are using a search engine such as Google or Yahoo to search for people, you have probably realized by now that it might work in some cases but in most cases it won’t.

An Outbreak of Order in NYC
by Butler Shaffer
*** begin quote ***
Upon landing in the river, and with the fate of 160 people in the balance, rescue efforts immediately began. Officials of the FAA, Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff, New York Mayor Bloomberg, and Senator Hillary Clinton, all descended on the scene to begin helping passengers to safety. No? It didn’t work out that way? But it must have been so. Is it not an integral part of our thinking that social order can be fostered and sustained only by a political system that can plan for responses to troublesome events? Wasn’t this the logic upon which federal, state and city governments acted in New Orleans, following hurricane Katrina? Do we not elect politicians who, in turn, create bureaucracies to make our lives secure?
Initially, the only seen presence of government at the site of the U.S. Airways emergency landing involved police helicopters interfering with rescue efforts by keeping the water around the plane churned up. These helicopters were of value to the state, of course, as a visual symbol of its superintending presence above a scene in which its practical role was nonexistent. Like a president or state governor flying over an area hit by a tornado or flooding, such an aerial presence reinforces the vertically-structured mindset upon which political authority depends. After rescue efforts were substantially completed – with no loss of life – New York and New Jersey police officials arrived (those whom the New Jersey governor incorrectly described as the “first responders”).
The real work of rescuing passengers and crew members was left to the sources from which the only genuine social order arises: the spontaneous responses of individuals who began their day with no expectation of participating in the events that will henceforth be high-water marks in their lives. After the airliner came to a stop, one private ferry-boat operator, sensing the danger of the plane’s tail submerging, began pushing up on the tail in an effort to keep it elevated. Other private ferry-boat operators – whose ordinary work involved transporting people between New York and New Jersey – came to the scene in what became a spontaneously organized rescue under the direction of no one in particular. Photos of the area show the plane surrounded by ferryboats on all sides.
*** end quote ***
My point exactly. The Ferry Boat guys (captain and crew) and THEIR PASSENGERS who lent a hand were the real unsung heros in this “miracle”.

Entitlements Part 1.5- Social Security
*** begin quote ***
This brought up enough discussion that some things deserve to be addressed in a venue more public then the comments section. I will address as much as I can in no particular order. Here it goes.
First of all I did not mean anything seriously bad to the older folks who read the blog or your peer group. I poked some fun but it is just that, fun. I take a few friendly shots at just about everyone given the right setting. I am enough of am asshole that if I wanted to say something really mean I would.
*** and ***
The most interesting idea that came out of the comments was what happened in Chile with their SS plan in the 1970’s. If you are as familiar with that as I was three hours ago then read this. I think that is sort of idea is probably the best chance of making our system viable but I still have the same big question/ concern I had about going to a privatized system before reading that article.
*** end quote ***

Guess who made that comment? It is a good discussion about the Social Security Ponzi scheme and how to plan around it. No need to rehash it here or repeat my comments. You can read them over there.

I like it but I’d prefer if it would generate a page at a time.
Like a one time pad.

The Way It Should Have Been
*** begin quote ***
Hijacker: This is a hijacking! I have a boxcutter!
Grandma: I have a .45! Now reach for the sky, or I’ll put a hole in that diaper-hat on top of your pointy little head!
*** end quote ***
If it wasn’t so serious, it would be funny.
Arming the pilots versus the large stupid unionized democratic voting intrusive TSA that can’t find squat!
What stupidity!

Now that O (Obama) is POTUS, does O (Oprah) have to cede the designation O to him?
There’s a cat fight I’d pay to see.
LOL!
Maybe one of them can be O2 or Otoo. Yet Another O — Yao.
But O2 is oxygen and that’s a TV network.
Maybe with Oprah’s political support of Obama, there’s no diff!
ROFL.
