Albuquerque protest

Sort of reminds me of this science fiction dystopia where organs were harvested from 'non human' entities, or if in the parlance of double speak being loud were qualification?!

Curious to know if being signed up for a postcard to come and visit some visiting proctologist s for a given Mayo clinic was a harmless bit?

You were dealing with a drought not just in terms of seismic activity but rainfall likewise in California...you see I get handed a high water bill when it floods sometimes so...

you guys up to throwing nukes at tornadoes again?!  :)

I was born on Gillham rd btw its a joke...you know Ukraine and Crimea...bad joke maybe, but a joke.

So I hear that new film Noah's a big blockbuster hit!!!!

Shut up about clickbait

If it were left at clickbait no problems...secondly, no adSense at my site.

Or it seems there is always another interests running with Fink code?!  For one set of propaganda another with its own self serving interests.

Sure some sell the idea that we are sold on the idea of personal threat (the wolf at the door), to convince us the world is really that much more safe then it really is (hence The Village mentality) is a sort of slighting anachronism to the modern rational thinker (especially when there is so much of our lives to be shared), and then the other part of that reality is that few seem to suggest that the Sexual revolution today were ever much of a good idea likewise...hence, free love isn't the same relative to what it once were (problems with any number of sexually transmitted diseases??), or that reality between these two diametrically opposed views if they could be considered that were somewhere in between as a medium.  Its not exactly as safe as one should hope to believe in being free, and not exactly as bad supposedly, and then it leaves one potentially in the case of neither desiring to know what and where any given threshold exists...or its seems harder not to walk out the door and feel something sketchy and off were going on given the right day and context more often then not.  This is to say, that 'happy go lucky' seems to be on the decline?!  And by the way, do I seem an angry non sensible hyper paranoid right wing nut job?!

   Then leaving off its not hard to see that few like to contemplate the problems of the world in the fullest depth or extent, and generally speaking if playing the odds statistically, who knows maybe this were the same as the chances of being struck be an asteroid, or depending on the nature of one's existence, the sort of odds, that has an aging disease for more likely in one's circumstance even at such a young age?!  This hadn't excluded the possible logic of being cherry picked or that only decades later, formal apologies could be stated by senior politicians for the occurrence and wrongful behaviors of past peoples, or that for the rest of the world relevancy were more vital words...and generally if it were 'why bother' it leads to 'why state' and the endless argument that circularly finds itself working upon the same thing over again, or stating futility of the matter neither seems to end discussions, or that one somewhere continues to state what should seem 'futile' to the rest of the world...and that were likely a reality of human nature.  Isn't it strange that people do this despite the odds of fear, repression, and any manner of circumstances to be had or faced?!  Social control is a hard end to wrap up completely at times isn't it?!

Recalling the sound of potential disgust when a local radio stations DJ sounds as though an uninvited guest were there to warrant the air waves, if for the better part of the day, and a given station should amusingly enough run on about hand puppets and masturbation (for the short duration that I would listen to this laughable segment), mind you, not on private radio, and generally off hours for the Howard Stern types, but at least social control (state propaganda) of this sort were amusingly tame.

  

Response to an article

Accused craigslist killer says two potential victims escaped death paper

There are a number of problems to the logic that I would ever respond to a craigslist ad for a random personal invitation on the premise of loneliness.  The primary reason, however, is that I never respond to these solicitations period, or that I date randomly, or date period...and secondly, I am not really surprised.

Generally I watch the drinking.  I don't go out much really to bars at all...last time I set foot in a bar period prior to a year ago were years in the making...I don't go to music events or events in general much.  I don't really talk to people that I don't know that well, except in limited ways online.

If it wasn't enough to deal with street theater on way too many occasions, its probably a big clue that things aren't what they seem, and when you deal with enough role playing where people are deceiving, lying, or engaged in some form of concealment, they are likely not serving your best interests at heart.  Anyways, its the sort of sense that one has over the years, that much isn't exactly what it seems, dealt enough with naive situations where in retrospect I wondered whether I would be waking up (yeah, homophobic hostiles near  El Paso)...sadly and I am not sure if its on a point of good humor or what I slept generally through the whole ordeal, something like hearing a shit blowing wind but not really doing much, which one should hope characterizes the lot, or sadly if playing the lottery here, I've managed to survive up to this point.

Death Squads

Death Squads

I leave at that for now.  Did a brief internet search on the subject matter, pulling interesting search results.  Normally you'd think this were supposed to be frightening enough, but sadly its one topic that likely surfaces more so in the speech of human rights advocates, and not a typified American household one should imagine.
Or as an old civil war tune on the matter of Quantrill raids likened of the Bushwackers, '...like so many demons raised up from hell...'

Kansas City area problems

By the way, I tend to like to make decisions more spontaneous, while there may be predictive aspects in a historical context, on the other hand, its simply to ensure that mind reading isn't always fruitful or productive in determining with strong accuracy likely outcomes.  The more obvious reason for this is to the limit the impacts of behavioral predictions, unfortunately this is the world we live in...my suggestion avoid saying where you are going aloud, and try not to make yourself too predictable, avoid using Google for search on local businesses, or places used for places of destination if you suspect you are being targeted.  I don't recommend internet food ordering, or online reservation processing at least if you suspect you are being watched, targeted, followed.  Sadly enough while generally I keep social contact very limited (maybe I receive a personal call...non business/soliciting type once a year if that at best), those that do attempt to personally contact seem to indicate invariably something of knowledge with respect to personal information that I have not divulged, and seem to initiate contact in some cases for this expressed purpose alone, and potentially to express implicitly threatening behavior, but that's another matter.  I would indicate at this point, further, generally, I don't believe this were isolated to one individual, or merely a handful of individuals.  Its generally something that has been dealt with over the years running on approximately well over a decade now.  It has little to do with being there to protect people or serve the interests of security in this area, and is basically outright, in my opinion, violation of laws.

By the way, I'd make a nice steady prediction in the next decade or so (if not sooner) that my revelations will not be a shock to anyone (if it isn't already to most whom know better)...this past decade has been relatively shittier relative to any decades that I could recall in the past, but hey that's my personal experience, or at least if you wonder what this present generation looks like...it seems more like a 'look the other way' generation is slating the next generation for big rebellion, but that's likely a decade or so off, I'd imagine, or at least I am sure if you know anything of social theory, its oscillatory in nature, and usually for bullshit there's always a modulating social rebound.

Crazy

So are you watching for the goofy sort of crap 80s shit like Ace of Base (crypto fascist) coupled with New Order tunes?

Sort of interesting seeing this Miley Cyrus ad with Chevy Revolt sponsor...or the Revolt appears to be a new car model I see :)

What's up with this Montana Wild Hack business?!  I'm not sure if it would suck living under the glass dome just outside Saturn you know, under the big brother watchful eye?!  :)

I always wondered what the fake flowers on a wooden pole business was about...or had the feeling I could be living way North in a city that looked like the one I thought I lived in, or that really something odd were going on.  Its hard to know these days isn't it?!  My plastic flowers were really growing when watered?!

If you wondered how much time and money could be spent in a system to produce absolutely nothing worthwhile, or keeping in mind that the exchange here were so occupationally intensive and absurd up to this point.

Nature versus Nuture more of the same

    Nature versus Nurture..if you think your desire is natural in the context of biology say in terms of sexual preferences...no it may not be so clear cut as genetics, and it may not be so clear cut as defined by nurture alone.  As it turns out genetics may play some role to the degree of preference, thinking that you are attracted in some way to shapely symmetries (this seems to be at times a more universal biological characteristic), but on the other hand, what clearly remains a characteristic describing one's desire is a matter that seems arbitrary...for instance, why do shapes and sizes, and other attributes of social desire seem to evolve in cultures which point to some arbitrary factors, or factors which appear very much relative to a given a culture at any given time frame.  More so it seems if we are raised with any sets of genetic potentials that are expressed in the outcomes of our individuals preferences and desires, these weightings may at times be arguably more pronounced in certain ways, or less pronounced in other ways.  As it turns out there may be some genes which govern the degree in which we are stimulated by our given environment, but in other ways are actions in such environment may be more likely hallmarked by the degree in which nurture has factored into our perceptions of the world, or if you thought otherwise, there is likely less the absolute of either, but combinations of influences between both sets which help to the govern the degree in which we are.  In either case, if often we were to preface, unnatural, or describe in absolutist ways, a given nature, it seems at times more characteristically hallmarked by collective social conditioning, or at times this could also be relative to larger predominant population sets with certain expressed genetics.  In either case, if you've heard it argued in some many ways that something of behavior were 'harmful' or genetically against 'nature' itself, more often one could think this born invariably of ignorance on the matter.

Consider animals in nature that mimic the opposite sex as a survival strategy, now apparently evolution hasn't excluded the concept of feminine adaptations among male biological counterparts, or at least for some animal species this strategy seems perfectly fine...so is it against nature for something to assume or adopt feminine characteristics or vice versa?!  Or consider something like the more spontaneous sexual changes in animals when population subset of one sex seems to fall below a given threshold?!  Were expressed spontaneous sexual differentiation against nature or creation in this way?!  Or relative to us these animals seem to find some positive survival strategy and nature has provided enough of niche for the existence of such...at least if we weren't to artificially exclude (in this in the unnatural sense).  And where it seems likewise the complexity of neuronal computational power has diminished, and the context of asexuality as in the more simpler of life form where invariably it is harder to argue by degree that social exchange were a limiting factor with respect to the degree of sexual description, harder is to offer that nurture is exclusive to evolutionary policy making.
Of course, the cost of exclusions may have benefit, if it were likely to the degree that cancer were expressed significantly in populations prior to sexual reproductive ability to regenerate any such expressed genetic tendency (if it were such the case), then likely few offspring should as likely produce a predominantly non recessive expression of such genetics, but likely the reality of recess is exactly that, its a hidden and unseen thing which crucially defies and cleverly hides itself, so that even our reproductive selective natures couldn't as well see the culprit (without modern medicines) that would so warrant and likely dictate the possibility of discerning what truly should seem 'unnatural' versus 'natural' to us, but even there, the context of nature may be more complexly characterized by offsets of 'good' and 'bad'.  A given genetic risk  may also produce some positive advantages in other ways, or at times are genes may be wholly not all bad, not all good, but really mixed bag.  The good news for this, is that you or I (being as natural as one should hope we are) are not clearly the most efficient, the most productive species, or maybe even the most intelligent ounce for ounce relative to the potentially engineered stuff, but we have such a mixed bag also of genes, that when the reaper falls, enough of our population survives and isn't genetically bottle necked...

Often times, on the opposite side of the spectrum, sometimes, I wonder, how much influence nurture is expressed in our genetics likewise...from the epigenetic standpoint, if we were more likely to be influenced as smokers or drinkers alike because of the decision making of our ancestors, it seems the unclear division or line could be even blurry in so far as the persistence of our decision making and desires, or that more likely despite all matter of attempts by parenting otherwise, our carboholic sugary desires may have some genetic factorization likewise.  This isn't to say that components of social decision making our nurture can't be discounted none the less.

Obviously genetics may be less likely to provide us with high level abstract languages (outside of inherent abilities to read our parent's body language even before we have spoken or written anything), or that how we might identify more strongly in social groups, provides a more likely readied synergy for societies to operate on given the principal strength of length minds and potential unity concerning the matter of decision making.  Our civilization is born of the backbone of recorded and transmitted knowledge, and that genetics alone could only pale in the synthesis of providing an education and/or time spent luxuries where other life has less, or at least this should seem much more irrelevant to the nature of survival there, and then alone our genetics outside of nurture should leave us more likely stranded, I think of a cat that the family home adopted years ago...more likely living a solo life, skinny, less sheltered, and unable to fend for itself in the same ways that wild animals of long since genetic departure, are able to move adept to a given environment without the same needs.  Then remembering a show some months ago I'd watch on the History channel running to the tune of apocalypse, some theories would range that our domesticated friends in our absence might survive to the tune of decades, or a century(?!) at best.  It seems inevitably the consequence of our trait selection should seem that much irrelevant to the nature that once bore such creation, and, here, likely the consequence of trait selection, would mean abilities like hibernation, physical traits, or selectivity would breed an animal less likely the same sorts of power, stamina, or in general, with persistent shelter the necessity for something as simple as thick furs and so forth to withstand colder extremes, alongside lost social natures and propensities to appropriately self den(?), and for this exchange, change in social psychologies.  An animal less more likely to stay put could be a more then likely dead animal in the wild, contrary to man's learned ability to paradoxically counter migration by way of agriculture and civilization.  Sure maybe some inherent landscape provides enough of a niche for the lotus eaters but this were likely short change for the abundance otherwise.  I contemplated myself briefly as a stone age hunter, how long would I last?!  In all honesty most survivalists don't talk of a matter of extended stay tours here, its a matter of getting back into the grid in some way shape or form as soon as possible, not attempting to live outside of it, not at least without tools, without machinery likely, or some form of reproducing food sources, or having a readied abundance to aid here, and then likely requisite migratory knowledge as in instinct of knowing where to go to the bounty if and when long since departed, and bounty is a relative word, that might have required as in the more herbivore inclined, root plants in the off season, and fruits in the seasonal prime (if you were lucky enough for say the tropical), and then despite relatively small geographic location, the sustenance while seemingly lesser to choose from could be exceeding in some cases to the culinary habits even of some humans, and likely the produce ranging could generally be described as exotic to the commonplace supermarket (save, for instance, as in one thought instance varieties of wild ginger).
   

New York Woman killed while witnesses do nothing

March 13, 1964 | New York Woman Killed While Witnesses Do Nothing

Of course, you read the wiki article and it seems to suggest that there are more factual misrepresentations in that case that continue to persist to this day, but I believe it begs the question, 'How helpful or altruistic really are people when someone is truly in need?'  More likely one is to wonder what the breeding conditions for a problem like this.

Is it a combination of fear, complicity, apathy?  Anything which overrides some biological inclination (found throughout mammalians) to help at the calls of obvious distress?  Then I wonder about the power of massive social indoctrination, or the nature of social conditioning...for instance, do the natural spontaneous inclinations fall to the wayside when we are given responses which provide conditioning such that one were more likely to ignore cries...for instance, if a person were subjected enough to violent video games enough (where cries for help were more frequently experienced) would one be more likely in a given setting to be less stimulated by any such response.  Or given to frequently watching horror genre films, were a given person less likely to be stimulated for the same sets of reasons.  Of course, one might argue that the queues are different enough, given the nature of suspension of beliefs that would be involved in one scenario over another, but if we were conditioned enough to the seeming disembodied un reality of our present conditions (i.e, matrix films) coupled with psychotropic drug abuse would we more likely be less responsive to conditions described above?  Hard to imagine that people en masse adopt in some ways, beliefs of a given fictional world, or that similarly minds would be so doped up, they could scarcely distinguish events in a conscious state.

Does the processing of sensory perception, however, in some way play a role here?!  For instance, witnesses are around the explosion of a building, and the immediate aftermath, as some could describe, as having experienced something that seemed surreal enough to seem unreal, that is, people at first, literally might not believe what they are experiencing, because the experience is so seemingly disjoint relative to the context of expectations in that reality from all previous states.  Here, as the continuity of perceptions persist the aftermath of a given event still continues to exist, it isn't going away, and likely it would seem they are more likely to agree with their sensory perceptions concerning a given local environment.  But, however, short or lengthy in duration this might last, does it explain conditions where cries for help are ongoing for not mere seconds, but lengthier minutes, if not hours?!  This seems potentially a short sighted doesn't it?  I mean some might hold persistently (not in my backyard) pervasive belief systems (to the extent of greater self denials) that they deliberately choose not to believe in the perception of events, or ignore them, or fear responding to events (as in the case of retribution and reprisal...places where you might expect high levels of genocidal if not to say the least rampant violence), but characteristically one shouldn't expect this at such levels where complicity/conformity on this order aren't seemingly as pervasive.

More so a given pervasive belief, as I believe has been asserted, were stereotypes at such given times held personally by those, as claimed, where the given victim were thought to have brought her victimization upon herself, or in other words deserved it, but why should a given belief system be so widely held, or widespread?  The more unsettling truth of this, is that social indoctrination may hold little weight with respect to truth.  The truth as others should assert were that a male dominated society in such times and times past, persistently would hold more power, in the sense of prosecuting and investigation crimes, or that media as a an advocate for victims were likely to favor perpetrators over victims in cases like this.  If rising advocacy for victims of domestic violence were a testament, marked and substantive change in the reporting and response provided to victims has been in the making for a mere few decades (this change is weighed alongside prior history seems to pale in comparison), or that it should similarly seem quite plausible that prevalent belief systems are also marked/reflected by the nature of their societies, institutional infrastructure alike by long standing legacies.  The short answer to the question above, concerning why natural responses could be found to differ, is that artificial social synthesis can play a much stronger role in determining the outcomes of social behaviors offsetting inclinations for biologically driven instinctive responses.  This is also to say, that likely we may still, owing to evolutionary genetics, be stimulated by cries for help, but the degree in which we act by this stimulation may at times be determined by more complex, personal and social psychological characteristics.
 
 

Library of Alexandria

Library of Alexandria  big beautiful library went up in flames...poof gone, and then Europe enters a time of being a backwater (in a way), although its unfair likely to characterize things this way (as scholars might disagree), and maybe I am humoring myself more then anything.  If it feels as though there are many steps taken backwards for the steps taken forward, find consolation in the scaled cosmic calender.   Here, civilization was born in the last few seconds (or second, or something like this), and one merely contends with time itself, and there is after all lots of time isn't there?!   

If need be you start writing lots of science fiction, or merely take what you can get.

   Particular lines of the character Henry Roth...or something to this effect.... "  I give to Amnesty International on the off chance I'm ever imprisoned and tortured for my political beliefs. Paradoxically, I have no political beliefs. Umm... life is pain..."

Thus far I could consider anything that I've said up to this point much more overtly subversive relative to the speech of most.  

Torture

Torture during the Algerian War

Fairly lengthy writings on this subject matter.  If you had the opportunity to be an openly transparent political football, it seems likely your best bet...I mean how sick could a given society possibly get?!   Or if you were living in one of those crazy non linear time systems, your name Marty McFly could be written Marty R?!

Or as in the movie Resevoir Dogs for the character led by the late Chris Penn (supposedly no pun intended), you could torture a man and likely he'll say anything at some point...or even mafioso should know better, but apparently as in the words of our late pope, one is to wonder how many in our government are headed straight to the bowels of hell?!

If one could find a version of the Black Family's 'Warlike lads of Russia' ...  its, of course, squarish folk by today's perspective.

Thoughts on the running stream

Why did four women kill themselves by starvation?

It seems these suicide pacts invoke a suggestive commonality.  Not unlike other cults coming to mind, Solar Temple peoples in France, or down in Southern California well over a decade or more.  People that you imagine were so sickly closed knit to the extent of not really being heavy communicators.  Then I were thinking of this strange awful tradition in Nepal that I had read of where literally as tradition would hold, have a man engaged in what others from a given outside as a social consent to self isolation and self torture.  Here, the man suffers himself by cutting himself off from the world, except to receive food and water.  He isn't from his presumably young age supposed to talk to anyone, walled off in a given cave that would serve as home for the remainder of his life.  To my knowledge generally, he isn't really to be groomed except if he is to do this for himself.  It would seem the sort of setting for a given horror film.  That is, in never leaving such a place, or really beyond the time that such self imposed and socially consented upon barricade were complete, he would have stimulation from a given outside world...would he have gone blind in the darkness eventually, if ran out of matches?  Or the sort of inverse of Plato's cave, which one recalls in a Saramago horror piece.  There isn't really any easy explanation is there?!

   I could recall walking into a supermarket so many years ago and seeing this checkout clerk person that reminded of the crazy 'shhhh' lady of shutter island, maybe one could be taken aback, but you generally don't what to make of it.   As if any of these impressions invariably left one in the same ways proceeding as usual.  Here, a man like Goedel starves himself to death, fearing any other cooking but his wife's own cooking.  You see, then, that while on the one hand, reasoning rationally that he were likely paranoid, but then you understand later (reading a little into his past)...shh...he fled nazi Germany.  It seems that self survival mechanisms could leave these strange awful quirks in us, or that in the long term adrenaline pushing survival hadn't meant being better long lived.

Here, one becomes more reliant upon these ideas, having looked upon something of the past, as if to resurface blurry and faded memories, and often times what should be crystallized so sadly in mind, could be experiences of trauma at times, where other memories hadn't seemed clear enough.  If it weren't that these were so commonplace relative to any other time.  Fortunately it seems for most, even the traumatic memories fade over time, or it seems on the other hand, survival means not being rational but highly rational in a way, or that delving thought much to this extent were much fuller contemplation with respect to human nature, the sort of wisdom that throw one into a lengthy fit of depression.  At least I am here, neither depressed, nor in evidence fearful on either account, and generally ignorant of conditions in many ways of condition, or at least exemplified if the reverse were true, likely one should truly write less, unless this were on some irrational accord, the paradoxical nature being.  Were part of this owing to a form of behavioral conditioning, or were this the strange nature of existing, or that if one should not have to suffer needlessly, one were given reprieve...here one could recall, the other having tremendous vision standing upon the funeral pyre, dancing as it were in the flames while feeling little suffering.  It seems that heretics could be spared, and who were spared is yet another mystery.  

The Trial of Henry Kissinger

The Trial of Henry Kissinger

Another one of those date movies.  :)

Although I was a never a really big personal fan of Hitchens himself given his strange ideological shift, first war to second, but still this documentary is a fascinating glimpse into one of Satan's minions.

The Fog of War

Or in a nutshell, the 'S**t'.  In one of those strange sad days long since past, it seems like somewhere I got the chance to speak with McNamara himself, but I am never really certain of these things...of course, who would of thought seeing the ghost of Kennedy either?!

Goya's Ghost

Well maybe you could take your date to see this one, although its not likely to be in theaters at this time.  Although these days, theaters are now hosting group screenings, where if you get the numbers together, you can select through (some app that I've forgotten) to view a particular film.  Pretty cool idea if you ask me.

You know maybe they can do a remake starring what's her name and turn this one more into a love story?!

Goya food products don't seem so bad these days, couple this with Chronos Baklava...and you got a real party started.

Just remember Atoms with Matoms makes more Atoms and Matoms.

... hard to imagine bullshit going through the 70s but it all resurfaces time and again...mindful at this time forced sterilization clear up into the nineties (via Peru)...remember the raid championed by Fujimori to deal with Shinning Path separatists...now the dude at least last I read were dealing with government corruption charges. During those times, it seems in Australia, aboriginal assimilation campaigns were winding down...while in South Africa apartheid were still a big reality. Never mind the social push back created from civil rights movements in the Americas. Of course, the rewinding the clock seems to be an agenda by some, but its hard to imagine going back to those really fucked up times.

Inhumanities

Inhumanities are a problem to the evolutionary genetics of nurture?!
Eh?!  And sadly a 'comfortably numb' doesn't solve these problems does it?!

It seems that while on the exterior life has its given pursuits, or that in the exclusionary sense, you are to sense that the fewer options are merely picking up and moving forward, who'd truly consider contemplation in a fuller sense?!  It seems the world is full of these paradoxes, for instance, in less then 24 hours you could be a step away from a given battlefield of carnage, while on the other hand someone were complaining about life's trivialities?!  Suffering is not an easy subject.

Anyways, you might not imagine in the same ways the sorts of isolation as I?!  Or at least hard to consider living what should be in a world that should seem more aligned to a view not unlike Conrad's "Heart of Darkness"?  Survival comes by way of degree of empathic internality.  Self denial never displaces one at ease over the long haul.

Or forgetfulness with deliberation is costly in the karmic, spiritual, corporeal sense?

     The world is supposed to be what is on the exterior what one might tangibly sense of it.  That is, by the smiles that weren't deceiving, or merely commonplace to the notion that it operated in one sense as in many different worlds, by varying degrees of shadow.  But precisely at times, given parts of the world have functioned this way, so knowing the ramifications if greater truths provoked enough world wide condemnation and ensuing social pressures caused political, legal, and social reforms, and how to see this more clearly?!  To live in such a world, whose appearances were not clearly as they might seem, or that operated on many different levels to many eyes, attempting to cloak truth, or at times suggesting something which may or may not be true, but should seem base enough?!  Were it merely in suggesting the nature and power of belief systems as whole that indoctrination could even make other suggested realities not so true in other minds, or not in existence, not possible?!  Why people in Nazi Germany could live and function as they had, while others should be sent to their deaths...has implication...of course, it seems any number could argue by way of alibis, that only few people knew, while overabundant evidence could suggest to the contrary something else.  Self denial here is as powerful as the meat displayed rosy red in the supermarket.  Its harder to relate to something that one could not sense with a direct contact.  That is, the meat there bore little relation to the sentient life that it were once belonging, and there to the disconnectedness of photos to the people that were once living, or that at least they were not unhappy in any given photo.  Excluding the defining of ghettos, and round up of people, actual witnesses could have been lesser, if such took place on any given work day, or that anything happened out of site, or that one rationalized, under these premises, that it weren't really as bad as it should seem.

    Likely it seems to the other world, operating and functioning as it had, until civil society were collapsing, in a way should have in some ways less to do with the wars being fought, or much else.  In its sensible exterior, its functioning were much to the conditioned way that societies in many ways ironically were nurturing, consoling the grieving, one should imagine.  Few there could help what should happen otherwise, and sadly how statistically might the nurturing prevail over the more cruel, or were it a misnomer to consider in the abject sense that the cruel were not nurturing?!  Its the paradoxical landscape that bares simultaneously cruelty with nurture, isn't it...or that on the one hand, more reasonably, if people should seek aids to forgetting their cruel nature, is to remind themselves of how nurturing and empathic, or differentiated from others, or even superior, as quasi mythological occultism takes foothold.  That is by varying degree of social lubrication and conditioning, a given society prevails, barring some increase in suicide rates (one should imagine), or whatever ills and horrors that seem to difficult for others in coping.  Invariable some having at one time remained vulnerable at their mothers bosom, offer their bit of coldness for what they called 'weakness', and ironically born to a world where nurture of weakness/vulnerability were required, or this should seem a form of self loathing in a way, or just outright ignorance in some fashion?!

   Then I wonder if it such a world really all over again these days, or if in the sophisticated nature and ways of civilization, that any given societies manage even more to operate creating so many different views of a world unto worlds, or that in that matrix like metaphor, we live upon any number of nested illusions created by alacarte propaganda that should be formed by it?!  And while generally something of a nationwide concentric view of the world is certainly provided even supposedly in a country with unrestrained internet, maybe this isn't as likely true as we like to believe.  If at times, another world were nearly hostile at the surface suggesting in darker ways things that one should find abominable.

I honestly feel a bit juvenile with this one

False confessions from convicted killer leads to release from jail 20 years later

Supposed Serial Killer released for false confession

Ah yes, supposedly law enforcement and D.A. s there to protect and serve...I mean after all the issue with the false confession is time old (e.g, given to an actual psychological condition and any other incentives to actually make such a confession in the first place), and usually, usually, you'd think some would know better, such as not ensuring that a supposed suspect weren't being fed information before hand with knowledge of a crime scene, or basic stuff like inconsistency of information yielded from a suspect regarding a crime and so forth, but apparently, yes, in that time era, people giving false confessions could be convicted for public interests above law and order.  Probably most sad for the victim's for a prosecutor's holy war?!

Sort of reminded of three boys down in Arkansas convicted of murder (around this time era), one released from death row, because of then ongoing 'witch' hunts.  Maybe we see a recycling of this washed up b.s. again?

I mean I know Mr. Gates (if the story were truly could be certified in authenticity to Mr. Gates having said such and such) would liken the whole NSA thing to a problem with 'noisy neighbors' surfacing data 20 years past to boot, while the NSA would gladly have a less then cutesy version of the Truman Story (or at least there is a mirror counter to this claim).   Or as in the presence of HBO running a series with true 'something'...blood or detective either way.  The descent of madness were b.s tabloid fodder that would run words as in recent slate review a mix of 'Grey Gardens' with 'Hannibal'?  Really though awfully amused by this one...apparently the religious types (I only remind because I couldn't stop laughing at this one) lectured Obama on bestiality.

Yeah I know my BoC obsession was the keynote for the Misadventures of the Dunderheads old film of Detroit supposedly back in its glory days...and to think of the city today!

Slew of Contentious Kansas Bills
   inquisition?!
So I am wondering about this about this running into walls bit in the Conjuring movie...you know metas...Bad A.I.script  and the NSA

If only McCarthy and Serling collaborated for terror psych ops.

Now technically as I've heard recently on the history of Crimea, this were land generally annexed into Ukrainian geopolitical boundaries by the Soviets (via Stalin) likely in attempting to draw a cleaner looking map, and likely neither having fathomed the formal dissolution of the Soviet empire.  It seems with supposedly weak historical ties of such land and peoples to Ukraine that a referendum result of this type were highly likely to begin with.  Likely if the Ukraine's are deal with any matter of their economy coupled with governmental corruption, it seems focus on cleaning up their party systems ensuring cleptocrats aren't running off with money would be far better focus then dealing with a chunk of land on its southern borders.

Invention of the teenager

Try also 'My invented Country'

lifting in a way the modern notion of country often described in some cases by arbitrary geographic boundaries delineating these compact 'neat' separations, or consider the partitions occurring where a group of peoples generally having shared culture, language, religion and so forth but are split according to geopolitical boundaries, and then modern solutions to these problems are annexation, partition, and so forth...especially if lexical speaking is on the notions of 'power sharing' a vice of the day.  Sadly, you wonder about referendums?!  Could a centuries old notion in the running gain popularity?!  

NSA revelations and all absurdities entailed

    If you were asking the question 'Why?' or 'Why all the expense?'  Its really not expensive creating much that could be created.  I dealt with this question of 'why', on a given other occasion...one on the point that the idea itself were somehow enough to drive crazy.  Generally a very false assertion, or at least likely to be given the amount of rational thinking otherwise, and then provided that one were reserved enough in waiting for the efforts of other 'respected' individuals in outright saying so, or in other words, if in tandem you hear the chorus saying 'what isn't so', is so, at least the many couldn't be dismissed as 'dangerous delusional'.

But returning to the question of 'why' as in 'why' anything should be as it were, it could be likened often times I wonder to the principle of path of least resistance.  If there animals are to traverse a trail, do you think often they would pass the steepest points over and over to make work harder for themselves?!  Nope, and it seems often times even in the wilderness trails that people use, are likely ones that may have been established by animals firstly, or no less in some effort to make less effort, if we've said little, what should seem an effort is no longer so much effort.  Then as I've stated over again, technology isn't exactly a friend, if it is cheap and prolific, resistances to movement should seem less so.  Certainly if watching is easier, so to communication, and then what should seem elaborate social setups, hadn't amounted really to displacements of people on the ground to create an elaborate social scene, or theater much, or creations of this sort in virtual space should be easy enough (again considering the co opt of the platform already handed to one).  The virtual of World of Warcraft were unlikely created by the NSA but the NSA could very well use, especially if the cost of this social theater were mere rack space and an ample amount of server power for hosting with lifted code to boot.  There should seem very little resistance, if social theater, involved not hundreds of actors that might dissent to a given role, or that such role were defined hundreds, thousands, or more, by one individual alone with the platform and code, or that code were key here in creating as in other estates, illusions.  This is to say if you believed it were expensive then it were, seems to play upon the same level of understanding that I might have if technological occasion were spent on the surface using what were created, as often I suspect not only I but many do.   

As it stands, I am not sure about recent trending in game console sales, last I read, poorer figures across the board.  Not sure if this relates to any particular distrust concerning the modern MMO these days, or amounts to other economic factors.  

Beyond this virtual role, that it seems in some way shape or form I've encountered something potentially, the other world, is hard in more clearly seeing.  After all, it still costs to drive a car from point A to point B, while the free lunch could be given virtually to the other with wireless camera transmissions and gps tracking...consider a transmitter placed unbeknownst to you on your vehicle somewhere...now how expensive is that...well...likely these days less then hundred bucks...alongside the camera...did you notice the battery draining on your digital camera faster then the norm or when you thought it were powered off...now how expensive truly were a 3G enabled wireless camera without your knowledge?  Doesn't seem a whole lot, sure markets charge an extra hundred dollars or so for devices that are solely Wi Fi versus 3G or 4G or whatever happens to be the current wireless cellular technology...but sadly, you wondered in that space if propaganda were running so quick and clean that your snapped photos could be transmitted to a source, or given to make your photos look like crap, or that someone somewhere would plant code on your little digital camera to make portrait shots look like someone were aged (consider aging, via HDR programs, were you lift the light enhancement settings...originally developed for potential medical uses, look scanning for pulse rates of individuals, here augmenting and filtering light in similar fashion, could bring out the pimples and wrinkles underneath the makeup, or perform the exact opposite of desired photo shop enhancements).  Sadly you might want to have an old fashioned non digital camera if you were a ghost hunter!  :) Of course, it seems a bother, doing this to you but maybe someone else somewhere for some self serving reason...or that at least to some image is power, perception is power.  Of course, if absurdly one were asking how and why, I recalled seeing my doppelganger years ago in a Call of Duty 2 game, or as it the development of Google's environment mapping project were completed years ago, by surveillance teams likely in the aims of facial recognition systems, and these days despite all this, social networking systems for digital cameras is merely in keeping with smartphones.  It seems even a previous post conspires in a ways to the wonders of technology without much consideration to the darker implications, it seems that if you wanted better imaging, it might not be for your benefit alone.  Wink! Wink!  Someone  spying on you might need better imaging for low light conditions better and fancier optical zoom technology, or that higher bandwidth, meant less downtime for uploading whatever stuff that happened to be on your system.

In a way, sadly, I'd only hint that maybe I should feel used to enough invasions of privacy, if at least it weren't through the obvious persistent dealings of warrant less home invasion searches, these insidious contraptions are certainly part of the conspiracy, and boots on the ground by the way, are much more expensive, or at least, one should hope one weren't spying to the extent of finding a best entry exit time out of the personal home.  As it were once theorized that this were costly, these days, even the margins here could be declining given enough technological sophistication and know how in the process?

But at least despite all the apparent 'common sense' of domestic surveillance meant that a security apparatus hadn't resorted to the timeless tactic of holding you as the dredged up bogus threat for the sake of justifications for all things being?!  Someday, sadly, I imagined tailored A.I. systems handling these aspects of social control, where you weren't exactly dealing with a human parsing your words, but a system that were programmed with your psychology in mind, and at least you were checked up on by the facebook friends that you hadn't seen for years, or had you thought to do the checking?

Some recent experiences that seems similar to the malware article

NSA plans to use malware

Not surprising.

  I'd probably recommend that you pay attention to inter device accounts that you use.  For instance, a sign on on your smartphone, that is used with your home computer/laptop, with any tablet and so forth.  Paying attention means noticing things like this:  I suddenly go to a website (on my home computer/laptop) that does not have a record of my recent user sign up sign on, while another device (android) smartphone/tablet does have a record.  At least this seems the more obvious sign (that happened to me...after windows security patch update).  What happened, while the alleged website appeared to host a legitimate website for a popular game known as 'Grepolis' whose app incidentally I downloaded formally through Google Play for a given smartphone/tablet type device, had me sign up for the game which I did through such hardware.  I received an email link after signing up on my inter hardware gmail account which apparently was shown to be representing the company's game server.  Unwittingly instead of typing the game servers html address formally or using an alternate link direct method relative the email link, I would choose the email link which I suspect was a bogus proxy fake, made to look like the real one.  Once signed up through the fake server, generally I'd pull this server up likely having stored through search history and caching the fake address each time that I logged on the  given home computer's website address.  I played the game unwittingly for a couple of days without realizing this.  On the second day a typical windows security patch goes through with an added malicious malware removal tool added in the mix.  I noticed this at the time since I manually update windows often instead of waiting for it to update automatically.  After the given windows security update, after I appeared to go to the same address (assuming cached copy of the html link through the google search bar), I tried logging in with user id/password credentials but I receive a log in error message ('user information incorrect')  when I try to 'retrieve lost password' I receive a message 'user email not found'.  Thus, apparently the given game server suddenly claims that I am not there, with no given user record, while it appeared to show this a day before?!  But I am able to log in with the same credentials on my smartphone/tablet?!  What's the deal?!  To check game server site addressing, I cross checked site address formally using link directs through google search with a formal search on the string of the of the game's name...using this like and trying the procedure again for my given email for log on, yielded the same problems.  It seems on the one hand I couldn't log on suddenly on my laptop while I could on smartphone/tablet.

While formally, given the information that I've provided I couldn't rule out a number of potential other possibilities, it seems one possibility were there, namely, that someone may have run a proxy/fake copy of the game server.  I couldn't claim this were technically done by the NSA although I'd offer if the hack were somehow inserted either at point of service from Google Play, it were a piece of mal ware that existed on Google Play's end, or a number of other possibilities.  Google Play weren't offering compromised apps but my smartphone/tablet were entirely compromised, and I were accessing a proxy/fake of the Google Play store, or selectively the app from Google Play were cherry picked by already installed mal ware on my given tablet/smartphone...of course, other possibilities extending this logic without examination of code.

In any event, I couldn't formally indicate who were responsible although I might offer, that if this issue were relating to malware, it should seem sophisticated enough maybe less likely to be conducted operationally from 'lone wolf' kiddie hacks.

For this, I decided to start a 'compartmentalization' of my given log in accounts between hardware devices.  Namely, that I wouldn't not use a centralized account for any given hardware, but instead I would opt to use separate log ins for each device.  Why?!  One  for segregated accounts, at least, in this case, if you were concerned with compromising account data is less likely if you restrict a given account's accessing hardware.
Yes the downside to this method means not being able to use the smartphone/tablet for a home computer's facebook access if you truly want to keep your account credentials hardware segregated, and increasing probabilities that your account is safer.  Basically this goes to the mantra of old intel classification and security protocols.

Finally, while I couldn't argue this were the case, I'd offer the possibility that if this should be true possibly, it could be more then likely a reality.  Game server hosting is not new, it has been around...and generally if you were into popular MMO titles, there could be a possibility that you weren't playing on a game company's mmo server but instead on a proxy one...of course, it seems crazy to suggest in a way that copied social aspects of the game persistently appear to be much the same as in a legitimate game copy, but considering that artificial intelligence bots and scripts in part designed to mimic basic attribute data, could in theory be performed at little expense of the proxy hosting once code has been established, means potentially that any player in the future targeted and whose system were infected could be playing with A.I. bot replica's from a given real site game server...after who notices when a toon isn't saying much and just seems to be grinding along as usual with the crowd, or puts in a much to the expectations of others quip?  For example, when the role playing seems front end bad you might wonder whether something were up...like why is this toon talking like a military person in operations suddenly when they were acting all civilian before?!  By the way, creating artificial social intelligence systems should seem at least a bit more complicated...after all the old generation, running into walls and not apparently moving further without a cross check to movement obstructions seems an obvious to the more obvious bad a.i. design.  Thus I'd suggest if you thought when you heard certain types of malicious online behavior colluding representing some population demographic, I'd also caution with respect to the nature of this anecdotal informal sampling...you might not only be a Targeted individual on a system that seems to have any group serving a social agenda, it could be an entirely faked a.i. script in chats designed to make you think something that really weren't going on in fact at all.

Technology

   My bit of a ramble today.  One because I've been lately something of a technology addict.  I am not sure if its purely for the sake of futurism and science fiction interests alone, or that I happen to be breaking more so from other things.

   So a go...if I had a wish list, it would go as follows:

1.  More free learning software for continuing education...I'm working to the ranks now closer to senior these days (at least have a couple decades potentially to go there).  More specifically tutoring software would be nice, especially targeting my strengths and weakness in any particular subject matter.  Sure I've run into some nice free android language learning software, but it would be nice for something like for college level math courses, generally I were thinking more like graduate level and beyond...maybe its a stretch in asking, and these days a Google query will yield lots of learning resource materials.  And then Wolfram Alpha now has a problem generator added into its site, that can provide testing over any desired subject matter.  Seems nice...the big leap though is artificial intelligence design which not only reads a problem for right or wrong answers but also able to read a given workflow process through a problem, and provide some assessment as to whether or not the student were on the right track to problem solving.

2.  Fancier cameras sure with more mega pixels...yeah but most photos regardless still look grainy funny with poor lighting, or for that matter artificial yellow lighting with normal house night lighting.  Improved camera low light image capturing is probably a bigger plus, and yeah the dual lens system for improvements in optical zooms are a nice...maybe to catch a high quality image of a bird on a branch someday from the smartphone?I liked some emphasis on improving camera images in general irrespective of lighting conditions.  I was thinking of some down sides on this...hmm...

3.  Someday may get around to installing Chrome OS on some hardware if I can...just need to apparently run a build on a linux system, and then transfer this iso to a usb stick...doesn't seem that hard anyways?

4.  More cloud based services...I at least like in theory what Adobe offers in terms of subscription services.  At least if you figured you weren't exactly in need of using services for any length of time to the extent that a subscription would amount to the cost of the software packages alone.  It could be an okay value?!   Especially with a more hit and run approach to software usages.  Secondly, it seems if one could get away from stand alone processor/resource consumption, and make this more network concentric, this might actually be better in any event especially given that next generation FIOS, at least this seems to add to the circularity of the argument that FIOS should be that much more necessary for the sake of cloud based applications?

5.  Next generation internet.  Sure its in my backyard.  I've parsed through the arguments:  do I really need super high speed FIOS?  It went alone the arguments do I need more then 15 gb of storage space.  Well as it turns out yes on the storage, and this extending beyond typified media.   But then as to higher bandwidth.  Well it seems, an old argument, I can now download a lifetimes worth of material in reasonable amounts of time (1 day with Google Fiber) but I'd never have enough time in reality to spend watching or reading this material.  But then I were thinking of the arguments I've offered in the above.  Mostly though with cloud based backups, it seems a bit nice especially if data storage is running in excess to 100 gigs (conventional internet cloud based backups likely amount to many many days here of waiting for a given download for this data amount).  Outside this sort of at a futuristic loss personally with what I could do with so much bandwidth.  Mostly similarities in pricing seems to offset any notion otherwise.  At the point one conceived that anything more then 20 megabytes should seem absurd, finds a similar lack of ability in conception, or this is to say, more data and higher data traffic flows should seem all likely in the future, but how and why is another matter.  Is it that any average person in the future would likely be managing fleets of things all at once in intense data networks.   And then in more enticing ways, had the future meant that poorer video resolutions of yesteryear on chat video hangouts were a thing of the past...keeping in mind, that low light conditions hadn't mattered and the video should seem something like a film.  Nonetheless with irony, I don't do video chats at all.  Listening to what must have been a back issue of Science Friday with the physicist Michio talking about neuro cognitive enhancements...maybe we'll be reading the library of congress in one day, and thus it seems something of the human limiting factor to information necessities are born.   In any event, the ever persistence and growth of smarter computing devices in and around the home one should imagine, speaks probably to seem greater need of higher speed data trafficking.  Not really much into VR.

6.  Project work collaboration social collaboration sites.  I sort of wondered about this the other day.  What if you could be some sort of provisional writer...sort of like a wiki contributor without contributing to wiki, and without dealing necessary with the same moderation processes found at wiki, but what if you could do this outside the fields of writing, say in art, music, media production, or other types of work endeavors.  What if you could get paid for some contribution part on a free lance basis working through a contracts collaboration process that weren't in housed with respect to any given institution.  Or at least if you were a free lance writer, what if you could ensure better that you were to get paid on a free lance contract type basis, and better able to find the work that you needed...maybe its a jumble of ideas here in any event.

7.  Cheaper transportation alternatives.  Certainly it may be in some near future, that there is the possibility that we have fabricated our own fixed wing aircraft.  One given the availability of carbon fiber based 3 d printing, secondly, a cheaper metals 3 d printing using more common metal materials (thanks to the Autodesk people working with a robotic manufacturing arm and attached welder that works literally with molten metals), and then finally having a plastics 3 d printer.  At least in some future day, it seems maybe the more average person is able to work and manipulate engine designs around with the fluid ease that master engineers these days manage...of course, this hadn't dealt with the central issue of transportation costs, namely, fuel these days is expensive enough, and noticeable to the extent that it should seem more of luxury to travel while the willpower of a given younger generation were more steadfast to the virtual of travel here (opting instead for social networking) as indicated trend wise, as opposed to getting a driver's license to visit that same friend.  I wonder if ironically that a form of globalism has ironically promoted in a way local fixation here, or that innately the desire to travel, by way of mysteries, is itself dying out.   Then you could actually pay more for a smaller car not less, and generally more if it were conceived that you were doing things that were perceived as 'healthier'.  Someday, though I wonder if I manage to create a DIY auto in some way, that hadn't exactly involved a garage, lots of grease and tools in the process.  Here while supposedly dating sites should attest to much degree of success, its hard to imagine the social aspect of transportation changing much?!  Not that a given local ism should be bad, or that cabin fever should at times represent/provide inspirations here through resourcefulness.

Thoughts on the Electric Car's future

    Some retrospective revisiting on this subject matter.  First, I'd mention having seen a recent film 'What killed the electric car'.  A few months ago, and while having heard some of the arguments provided concerning why the electric at times went through some decline in terms of use, it seems the film's arguments provided weren't enough in my mind having mustered clear reason for decline.  While the argument that generally most electric car range capacities are poor relative to gas fuel types are true (e.g, average electric cars if that might have around 86 miles before needing a recharge versus a gas car type having a several hundred mile range), and while re fueling times are much more compared to gas one's (e.g., even with fast charging charges could take in many typical cases around seven hours at best for refueling, compared with a refuel time in a gas type in a few minutes), solutions to these problems appeared to be neither the focus or intent of the documentary's director at that time, or at least I hadn't recalled any significant pursuit by the film's director in pursuit to these problems, other then having focused at a glance to the nature of battery technologies themselves...which up until now and likely into the future, focus much about the capacity constraints of the batteries in the volumetric and mass sense, alongside the battery's recharging characteristics which are likely to be problematic well into the future...although it seems I read somewhere that some designs allowed for potential recharging in around twenty minutes which should be far better then the hours mentioned before.

    While it appears Tesla motors has had a head start over its competitors over the range capacity of their given electric car (at least in one case with a range of approximately 380 miles), other manufacturer have been short in following suit, and then Tesla's car were much more expensive sporty car running likely beyond the means or desire of those more budget minded.  As it turns out even the least expensive electric car is likely to cost one 18,000 + U.S.D, and more likely this would be in the mid twenty thousand u.s. dollar range.   As to the benefits of the car itself.  If you were a short range commuter with predictable enough car usage for a given day, and hadn't relied on your car for extensive trips (e.g., business travel, delivery, and so forth), you'd find the electric probably great for your needs.  Although you might not do as well, planning spontaneous trips of any significant out of town distance, or likely you might be flying anyways.  If you had a family, obviously more ride sharing occupants would potentially cut into travel range, and this could be more problematic...the electric car might also be something that you had with a back up gas type nearby in case you had more trip planning to do for an unexpected given day.  So having solely an electric car might be a more worrisome prospect for some (especially given downtime for re fueling).  Even all this being said, I'd say the electric car still holds promise for a number of reasons.  Here are few things to consider:

1.  The electric car ounce for ounce has some nice advantages relative to the fuel car type.  Since you hadn't need haul a miniature power plant with you every where you went, automatically should raise fuel efficiency standards (the exchange of mass for battery to smaller electric engine I believe reduces overall mass load of the car, which means less power to deliver kinetically), and secondly the power generated (even from the dirtier of power plants) is likely to be more efficiently and cleanly generated relative to usage in a typical gas type (afterall, plants have workers and technicians that are there to maintain and look after a given power plant in terms of it efficiency in electrical power generation)...this isn't to say that some car owners are meticulous enough in exceeding the standards provided at a larger scale municipal source, but that the average car owner likely doesn't pay attention at the same levels means that inefficiencies are likely to build in a gas car type power plant relative to the larger scale industrial types.  Then prospectively future power plants could look only brighter in terms of efficiency and cleanness in terms as long as technology remains progressive here.

2.  Most people likely don't drive more then 80 miles in a day.  Thus even a primary commuter, the electric is fine outside of it perceptively limiting aspects.  We just like the idea of having more that we don't necessarily need?!

3.  Fast Car battery swap technology.  While I've mentioned in the past ideas like fast battery swapping systems, that apparently as in one 2013 case went broke as an investment, shouldn't render the idea dead either.  Anyway, the idea of the fast swapping battery system at least solves part of the range time spent refueling problem...while at a glance I couldn't comment on the investment strategies in detail, perhaps, investment capital devotion solely to swapable technology to the exclusion of the thrust of the electric car market was a big mistake...that is, over investment of swapable batteries (for reserve) without a fleet of EV (electric vehicles) for supply was part of this mistake, alongside poor consumer education.  Tesla at least liked the idea of the fast swap battery and integrated this design into at least one of its car types...if Tesla has invested anything into the idea of EV refueling (battery swap) station this would be far more modest to thrust of its main market which is to satiate the needs of the consumer which uses the car and primarily handle an EV's recharging.  It seems that eventually modest investment  in building swap battery infrastructure could lead to the eventual outcome that more consumers are educated well enough to utilize this type of fuel infrastructure solving the inherent time to refuel problem which were noted as taking around '90' seconds, or in other words, less time spent refueling relative to filling up a gas car.  It seems reasonable that an 86 mile ranged car consumer might be willing to pay around $15 for a new fully charged electric battery swap.  And then this could lead to an added benefit of cost liabilities insurance system for batteries...consumers would generally have one less liability to worry about for the given lifetime of the car which could be likely the first to wear out and deteriorate which were the battery (and this likely is a big cost liability).  The key is excellent consumer use forecasting to determine how many EV users in a given location would need to use and access swap technology.

4.  Road integrated power transmission systems.  It seems when I lived up in Seattle there were any number of electric buses already operating daily through the city.  Of course, I weren't exactly sure if the buses had on board extensive battery systems, but I were sure that they had a power supply source, namely electric cables built up over the roads that allowed for the buses to access these via a tethered link system.  It seems if something correspondingly could be developed safely for EV consumers (whether wirelessly transmitted or a linked wired system) that another problem of continuous power could be solved.  Namely integrating power systems into our roadways hadn't exactly seemed entirely out of the ordinary, and generally given EV's onboard batteries where consumers traveled off grid shouldn't mean that all roadways need be electrified.  Analogously, while the internet hadn't solely depended on FIOS investments from individual corporations/businesses alone to grow the entirety of it system in terms of network growth, here governmental investments have played much role here, the same could be said for the advocacy of power lines built into our given roadway systems (e.g., interstates and secondary highway system, alongside urban/suburban/rural roadways).

What killed the electric car?  In the past, honestly, it were the will power of industries, not the nature of the technology that were inherently flawed here as I see it.  In any event, I hadn't seen any reason why the EV couldn't have the same types of unlimited ranges that gas types are given (with refueling capabilities) and/or that the EV couldn't be better then gas types in terms of economy of fuel and time spent traveling.    

When re entering the United States from Mexico

Drug warriors kidnap and sexually assault

Apparently that drug sniffing canines are not only sometimes wrong with their noses so are Border Customs agents in their handling.  No Drugs found, a woman handed a bill for her assault.

Basically for the agents embarrassment of finding nothing, they wanted the woman suspect to sign a consent release waiver signing off on the ordeal, and they'd waive the charges.  She refused and got charged for it.
