On Coercion...

In Reply to: "No one is going to get shot by the government over unpaid parking tickets lol"

My Reply:
OK. Sorry. What I mean to say, at a full size keyboard, is that, to wit: we all live under the threat of unlimited violence/coercion by the government of the united states. Something as simple as an unpaid parking ticket will result in each and every citizen being killed even (up to a point where popular revolt would occur). For example, let us say that one individual citizen elects not to pay a parking ticket. The unpaid parking ticket is automatically shunted through computers into an automated queue. The automated queue expiration date code trips. A warrant for arrest is issued for unpaid fines. Let us say accused citizen is aware of warrant yet refuses to surrender to said authorities in addition to refusing to pay. Further then, a magistrate will issue the constabulary to seize the unrecalcitrant-citizen and bring them to stand supplicant before his/her apparatus. The citizen refuses entry of the constabulary at their residence, and is killed by men with guns who wear badges. Or let us say said citizen takes flight in a vehicle or on foot, and is either apprehended or killed in the pursuit. So from this simple act of unpaid fines, we live in a world where the government acts in a manner that results in the assassination of the citizen on principle of unpaid debt alone. To accuse the Re-pyuke-leekans of promoting anti-social violence, coercion is to forget that our system-at-large is based on automated violence, coercion-to-collect, rent-seeking, etc.

Lyrics:
Watch the man of sience working
See him twist and torture life
Just dissecting, never carving
Wields his scalpel like a knife

See the social planners planning
How to bend us to their mold
For our own good they'll direct us
All they're asking is control

Icarus your wings are melting
never will you reach the sun
Thought you feel your spirit free soaring
Your proud wings shall come undone
Your proud wings shall come undone

See the test-tube babies forming
All alike in even rows
Mutant robots in the making
Numbered tags upon their toes

For the dictocrats convenience
See them catalogue our lives
Hear computer giants ticking
Thought police control our lives

Icarus your wings are melting
never will you reach the sun
Thought you feel your spirit free soaring
Your proud wings shall come undone
Your proud wings shall come undone

Capabilities

• All types of celestial objects are represented: planets, moons, asteroids, stars, star clusters, nebulae and galaxies.
• The observer is free to move around the universe. Transition between any celestial body and any scale occurs continuously.
• The observer can move around in space using the WASD keys, like in First Person Shooters. Movement with inertia is made possible in Spacecraft mode or Aircraft mode.
• "Select and fly" autopilot: just click on any object with the mouse and hit the 'G' key to automatically go directly to the object.
• Search for celestial objects by name. Scalable map of the Universe and the planetary system map. Saving locations and an autopilot's journal.
• The orbital motion of planets and stars is calculated in real time, with the ability to accelerate, decelerate, or reverse the flow of time.
• The orbital paths of celestial objects can be shown, along with their labels and grids.
• Automatic binding of the observer to the moving object and automatic selection of optimum flight speed.
• Known celestial objects are represented using data from the catalogs: galaxies (NGC/IC), stars (HIPPARCOS), star clusters, nebulae, planets (our Solar system data and known extrasolar planets).
• Uncharted regions of space feature procedurally generated objects: galaxies, stars, star clusters, nebulae and planetary systems.
• 3D landscapes of planets and stars: for many solar system bodies actual data from space probes is used. For uncharted exo-planets the surface is generated procedurally.
• Volumetric 3D sprite models of galaxies and nebulae including light-absorbing dust clouds, optimized render to a skybox and impostors.
• Lighting effects: lens flares, solar eclipses, shadows of planetary rings. Celestial objects cast light and shadow on to each other.
• The accurate model of the Earth's atmosphere (code by Eric Bruneton), adapted for the other planets.
• [New!] Controlable spaceships.
• Ability to import users addons: models, catalogs, and textures.

PR-2011-71-1 TRANSCRIPT posted on SCRIBD

Not only did this transcript cost $475 to be compiled by the court reporter, but then Grant County charged another $245 dollars to have it compiled. The cost of these services is prohibitive for the general public, not to mention the client who is indigent. How can anyone expect access to justice if the provision of the "public" record costs many hundred's of dollars merely to obtain from the state?


I do not know with what faith I can place on this document being a true and faithful record. For starters, much of this material was submitted by our adversary, and can only be considered the most egregious form of (unprosecuted) libel and perjury. Secondly, I met with the court reporter and Judge William's clerk Lisa Ledbetter to go over the actual recordings. I do not have much faith in the process of electronic recording, etc. at least insofar as it is practiced in Sheridan. Apparently Sheridan at the time of this posting is without IT support, and the management of the court's electronic and verbal records fail woefully as regards IT management, data and archive integrity, security, and safety management best practices.

Iron law of oligarchy

The iron law of oligarchy is a political theory, first developed by the German syndicalist sociologist Robert Michels in his 1911 book, Political Parties.^[1] It claims that rule by an elite - or "oligarchy" is inevitable as an "iron law" within any organization as part of the "tactical and technical necessities" of organization.^[2] Michels particularly addressed the application of this law to democracy, and stated: "It is organization which gives birth to the dominion of the elected over the electors, of the mandataries over the mandators, of the delegates over the delegators. Who says organization, says oligarchy".^[3] He went on to state that "Historical evolution mocks all the prophylactic measures that have been adopted for the prevention of oligarchy."^[4] Michels stated that the official goal of democracy of eliminating elite rule was impossible, that democracy is a façade legitimizing the rule of a particular elite, and that elite rule, that he refers to as oligarchy, is inevitable.^[5]

What is a "right"?

What is a "right"? 


...as in:


"I have a "-right-" to have physical access to my child or children..." is something someone might say who is involved in a custody dispute. 


What does this person mean when he or she states that they have a "right" to something? In this case the person or persons states that they have a right to visit with and share experiences with their offspring. 


What is a right and why do "rights" apply to some situations ?


A "right" is some ideal* we (as in we in society) would like-to-be-the-case IRL. A right is not something that "is" just b/c we humans think it *should* (be a given ((even and esp. a given to other human beings))), that is to say a right(s) is not something which exists prior to human existence. 


So a right is some condition that we sweet little people would like to "prevail" in the affairs of our sweet human-being-ness if and when and where possible. 


Persons who claim they have a "right" to visit with their children and so on probably mean by extension that this "right" is some ideal** condition that should be enforced by the state, if necessary. By enforce from the state, they mean that it, the state, should, insofar as it is capable and it is reasonably within it's power to do so, create the necessary conditions for this "ideal" condition to "prevail."***


From this we must ask a further series of questions. For example why can said people not enforce their ideal situation? Why do they need a state to accomplish this task?

On the priorities of this society...

Driving back from the grocery store today I witnessed a young mother with a young child in the front seat of her ragged-out car. The (presumptive) mother was casually smoking a cigarette and blowing smoke out of the window. 


Now, a rolled down window is hardly a remedy to the dangers and harm caused by second hand smoke. I felt bad for the young child. If a parent of a young child is going to smoke in a vehicle with his or her offspring, it seems likely that they smoke inside their home as well. Unfortunately, we also infer that such a parent routinely smokes with their child present in the vehicle. 


Such scenes are a sad and tragically all-too common part of life in Arkansas. What is instructive, however, regarding such instances of  child abuse? 


I direct our reader's attention to ARKANSAS CODE OF 1987 ANNOTATED TITLE 9. FAMILY LAW SUBTITLE 2. DOMESTIC RELATIONS CHAPTER 9. ADOPTION

SUBCHAPTER 2. REVISED UNIFORM ADOPTION ACT

" (3)  The court may terminate parental rights of the non-custodial parent upon a showing that: 

                        (i)  Child support payments have not been made for one (1) year "

The tragedy of the Arkansas uniform adoption act is, for example,  allowing heartless, corrupt judges like Christopher Williams to "terminate" parental rights without just cause.  In that it (potentially) punishes biological parents for poverty and unemployment is a consideration that is not examined or allowed to be valid defense in argument, even though it clearly is a (potentially) valid defense (exigency of circumstance, pressure from having to deal with the state w/o sufficient financial credits/resources/fiat dollars, etc).


When I see parents who are abusing their children by, for example, exposing them to second hand smoke, I am struck by the cruel irony and hypocrisy of Arkansas family law. 

From a medical stand point parents who expose their children to second hand smoke are committing de facto child abuse. Nevertheless, they retain the right to be parents which the state will honor and even defend.

Arkansas society has it's head in the sane and it's priorities all wrong. An employed parent who is addicted to tobacco and actively exposing their offspring to second hand smoke is certainly a worse parent than an unemployed parent who does no such things (all else being equal).

If you are like me and have grown up in the south, sadly, then you have probably witnessed the tragedy of the [employed] parent's abuse of their offspring by exposing the latter to second hand smoke. This [abuse/violence/neglect] not only harms the child, but also society at large as has been well documented. 

Yet despite this egregious mistreatment of children and Arkansas society at large [externality] there is no effort on the part of the legislature, the judiciary, or any element of government to protect children from second hand smoke exposure in the home, and only very weak laws lacking sufficient enforcement to protect young children from second hand smoke exposure in vehicles. 

It is the height of hypocrisy that Arkansas adoption and child support law allows judges to terminate a parent's relationship with their child often for no other reason than unemployment in a bad economy. Whenever we wittiness parent(s) who expose their child(ren) to second hand smoke are we not seeing a parent who is actually deserving of severe punishment, if not termination? 

Arkansas state's relative silence on the issue of children's exposure to second hand smoke is none other than duplicity with child abusers. That the legislative and judicial apparatus of Arkansas explicitly states poverty and unemployment as grounds for termination of parental rights while very often doing nothing about real child abusers is a sadness we as society must address. 

As a parent who is suffering at the hands of judicial corruption it is very difficult to wittiness such a bad parent as before me today. There are many  parents in the state of Arkansas whose relationship and "rights" to their children should-be-but-is-not-terminated-by-the-state. 

The remedy to this tragic state of affairs comes in the form of rational laws that protect children from negligent and abusive parents. Arkansas legal code needs to ccriminalize the exposure of children to second hand smoke. An amending of the uniform adoption code of Arkansas is also desperately needed, and on that note we shall blog further.

Things to know about ICs... (from Wikipedia)

"There are two main advantages of ICs over discrete circuits: cost and performance. Cost is low because the chips, with all their components, are printed as a unit by photolithography rather than being constructed one transistor at a time. Furthermore, much less material is used to construct a packaged IC die than to construct a discrete circuit. Performance is high because the components switch quickly and consume little power (compared to their discrete counterparts) as a result of the small size and close proximity of the components. As of 2006, typical chip areas range from a few square millimeters to around 350 mm², with up to 1 million transistors per mm²."
