Comment on More Reasons to Fear Barack Obama by screaminglunatic

“The pacific mask crumbles when the narcissist has become convinced that the very people he purported to speak for, his constituency, his grassroots fans, the prime sources of his narcissistic supply – have turned against him. At first, in a desperate effort to maintain the fiction underlying his chaotic personality, the narcissist strives to explain away the sudden reversal of sentiment. “The people are being duped by (the media, big industry, the military, the elite, etc.)”, “they don’t really know what they are doing”, “following a rude awakening, they will revert to form”, etc.?
Just read this in an article that is alomost word for word what I have written here.

Comment on A Nation of Cowards by Johnny Peepers

I couldn’t care less what some crooked lawyer (who gave a green light to the Marc Rich pardon) thinks about me or America. Holder is an elitist snob who will probably rank below Alberto on the competency scale.

Yeah, I agree. I was disappointed by how much of his first address to the nation on prime time TV was filled with defensiveness and excuses, “Keep in mind, I inherited this debt.” I want more decisive “this is what we need to do” than all this “I didn’t do it.” Hopefully, he’ll get his sea legs soon.

WHEW………talk about over intellectualizing a subject. You gotta go out and get yourself laid pal……and the graduate school Marxism, get real.

Comment on Why Windows Is Like COBOL by spinoza1111

(Sigh) when will techies learn that you don’t “sell” something by knocking the competition or worse, the customer with signing authority?

Cobol is dead, although in the past, we did things with it that worked: see my post http://spinoza1111.wordpress.com/2009/02/01/1981-chicago-data-processing-a-cobol-story/ for how and why I simulated a PBX in Cobol. Cobol was driven by the military-industrial complex of the past.

Now, it is true that IT managers don’t have technology smarts in many cases. But few technicians know why this is so. The reason is in a short book by the late economist John Kenneth Galbraith, “The Economics of Innocent Fraud”.

Galbraith believes that management, far from contributing any smarts in excess of the operations research, engineering, and programming of the techie, are essentially an American priesthood. They represent the actual owners of the means of production, because ordinary people, if they had to deal with owners, would soon see the injustice of it all.

As such, part of the managers’ job is making sure that the economy as a whole is not producer-driven in the interests of actual producers. This was tried and it failed in the Soviet Union, where the engineers and hard-hats basically made decisions better left to a market, and the shops were as a result either empty, or filled with goods such as suits that didn’t fit and rotgut vodka that nobody wanted.

Making you as a computer programmer use Cobol, or forcing a Linux whiz to use Windows, or making a graphic designer draw with a mouse, is irrational, but it also forms the socialization function of keeping a class system going.

Furthermore, and nobody likes to talk about it, but Open Source can be usefully viewed as a virtual form of chattel slavery, where the slavery is invisible and therefore morally acceptable. That is, Microsoft programmers got paid for developing Windows, whereas the provenance of Linux and other grand and glorious Web 2.0 software artifacts is partly in the theft of other people’s hard work.

Comment on Global Warming has It’s Detractors by screaminglunatic

As I type this, I sit on land that at one time was covered by glaciers. The island of Long Island which stretches east from NYC for 120 miles is the result of the melting of this glacier. There have been at least 4 periods of glaciacion over the millenia. During the 15th centruy there was a period that has been called “mini glacial period”. The idea that any current warming could be the product of we puny human beings passing gas is ridiculious. The idea that we should change our behaviour and then observe any changes in the climate is akin to stating that chocolate pudding causes brain tumors and we should stop eating chocolate pudding and observe what happens.
The “science” is so bogus and politically contrived that the conclusions are meaningless and those who forment the theory and/or the conclusions, lack anything that could be called “intellectualism” or for that matter, sanity.

We do not need to listen to any scientist, liberal, conservative or detractor to see that something is wrong with weather patterns. Whether human made or natural, somehting IS happening.
IF we are not sure if humans are responsible for this change, then we should immediately stop all activities that are thought to contribute to it, then wait a while and see if this helped, if it didn’t, then that particular activity is not the problem, we can resume activities carefully.
In British Columbia where I live, millions upon millions of trees have died because warm winters are no longer killing insects that attack our trees. These insects are not from here and only showed up in the last few years when things have warmed up. The dead trees are red now, and you can see this for yourself on Google Earth. Whatever anyone believes, these things are happening, this cannot be denied.

Wake up . Obama is only out for Obama. We dont vote for an anti Americans. Obama is an ANTI AMERICAN COMMUNIST SELL OUT. He wants ALL African Americans to believe you are the underclass.When you apply for a home loan do the banks care about the color of your skin? NO they only care on how much you can get a loan for, This is based on your credit score. I know I refinanced my home and the company that got it done NEVER SAW ME ALL BY PHONE AND FAX. Dont let him put this GREAT NATION DOWN .WE ARE AMERICA WE THE PEOPLE. NOT ANYONE COLOR OR RACE. NOT ANYONE RELIGION . BUT ONE AMERICA.

You DONT RAISE TAXES WHEN THE DOLLAR IS DOWN . YOU DONT CUT THE FUNDS TO THE ARMED SERVICES WHEN THEY ARE ON THE BATTLE FIELD. And that is what he wants . Seeing he has never put his life in the line of fire saying I WILL DEFEND MY COUNTRY WITH MY LIFE. THAT IS WHAT AMERICAN PATRIOT IS . He wants to give the hard working AMERICANS MONEY TO THOSE THAT WANT TO SAY I JUST CANT DO IT. BLACK OR WHITE . WE ALL WORK HARD AND WE ALL PAY OUR TAXES. ITS NOT RACE ITS HOW HARD YOU WORK. He see him self as a new JFK. Thats odd Ask not what your country can do for you , But what you can do for your country. That means smaller government less pointless programs less taxes. More accountability to the AMERICAN PEOPLE. That is John McCains plan. Less in taxes less in Government spending . MORE POWER TO THE COUNRTY. WAKE UP LOOK WHAT THE CRAP THE ANTI AMERICAN IS SELLING.
