California Burning

The Sana Anna hills have caught fire again, like they do every year, and they have cremated houses, like they do every year, and the fire is as large as New York, sounds like the fire of 1956. Sad fact is the Sana Anna hills catch fire all of the time so who is at fault with this mess.

Land use planning because land use planners saw no reason, like fire, not to build there, This is what happens when someone from California gets a good idea, laws are passed, actions taken, people lose everything. So the land use planners should have to pay the bill because they allowed a use that shouldn't have been and now we all have to pay money to "fix".

How about this, let’s set some land use planners afire and then the fun will really begin!

That's how we see it.

Another Round

After reading a book and doing some research on the great war, also known as WWI, my master offers the following original poem.

Another Round

A Reflection On The Great War 1914-1918 AD

A soft rain fell

As we walked into hell

On that cold November morning.

Where machine gun bullets and artillery blasts

Tore the flesh from our bones

Men by the score died without warning.

The wounded lay where they fell

For how long no one could tell

Some died of their wounds in a ditch.

Night came at last

A welcomed end to the blast

To the enemy positions the dead pointed the way.

They died bravely they say

They died every day

In four years the dead numbered nine million.

Wars are fought over tin

The love of a woman

Philosophy and resources.

We will do this again

It's as common as wind

So shall we begin another?

Sherman Lackey

That sums up our thoughts.

Stickem Up Portland!

One of the powers that be wants to add a street charge to the Portland Oregon city sewer bill to the tune of 4.75 per month plus a 3 cent a gallon fuel tax for cars and trucks. Tri Met busses and city vehicles are naturally exempt from this as are government buildings.

So let’s look at this because in ten years they want to “raise” 352 million bucks for the repair of major streets, street lights and a few bridges. This doesn’t apply to state and county roads that are in the city and means that 35 million 200 thousand dollars will be diverted from local businesses and local persons to government.

The city already gets money from the state and property tax for streets, though they don’t say exactly how they spend it, they say they need more. The real message here is that Portland misuses its money, hats businesses and loathes single families, but single rich yuppies are okdokie.

The powers that be don’t want businesses to give their workers raises, or bonuses, or pay a living wage, which is why they like illegal aliens which pay this sort of thing without questioning.

We predict that with such a outlay by an oppressive government business will leave Portland Oregon, small family run shops first, forcing the workforce to seek employment outside of Portland . As people cutback their driving the money stream will drop which in turn will cause a drop in the revenue that Portland receives.

It is not enough for elected officials to say that they need more money without explaining just why the department head of the transportation department makes 10 grand more than the median wage of the Portland Population. If wages for city workers are not greater than the median wage (average as opposed to the rich) then the money to fix the infrastructure will be there without a raise in taxes or the creation of new taxes.

Course they could just sell bonds or take the money out of the general fund but that would be the smart thing to do wouldn’t it?

That’s how we see it.

How Do We Know What We Know As Applied To Politices

Based on the Rumsfeld dialog with the press on the known, unknown, unknown knowns and known unknowns. We offer the following in an attempt to understand the epistemology of it all.
How do we know what is and what is not, that is how do we know that we know what it is that we know. If we know only what we think we know then is what we know actual or are we not knowing and filling in the blanks for what we think we know but what we know isn’t what we really know at all?

Fiction is based on what we might know if we knew what it is that we know but what if we don’t know what it is that we know but instead know things that we don’t know? How do we then tell fact apart form fiction? Don’t bother asking the senator from New York that is running for the office of president as they clearly have issues with what is known and instead aspire to the unknown weather or not it is known or not.

Perhaps we know what it is that we know by separating the known into two different pieces, the phenomenal (things we can’t see or test but believe anyway) and the noumena (that which we can see and test). This is different than inductive reasoning and deductive reasoning that rest on a foundation which is self evident and can be a landmine for political candidates which is why they tend to avoid it.

In this way we have things we can explain and things we can sort of explain. Then as we are able to test for more and test these things we can then know more as opposed to knowing less.

Then normal people have no issues with not knowing the known and they explain the unknown by ideas like prayer and miracles where as political canidates only know what is known and have no explanation of what they don’t know. Members of the press that are aware of the restriction of what the known unknown’s then baffle the candidate with the unknown known because of the phenomenal/noumena separation.

So how can we then know that the noumena even exist? Good question for another time, just remember not to ask the candidate to answer a question containing an unknown known or a known unknown as they will wax eloquent about anything and everything else and not answer the question. Why you ask, because they only know the known and are completely unaware of the phenomenal.

That’s how we see it.

Portland Oregon - A cess Pool by Another Name

We offer this, http://www.portlandtribune.com/news/story.php?story_id=118522686140313400, as proof that he elected officials in the city of Portland Oregon are both non responsive and uncaring about Federal law and the community in which they serve.

By defying the United States Constitution and the laws under it they become complacent in aiding criminals and criminal activity.
Portland Oregon is becoming a cesspool of human failures led by the, in our opinion, the incompetent.

Have a great day, migrate to Wisconsin or North Dakota but defiantly stay away from Portland Oregon.

Have a good day.

Portland Oregon Just Loves Criminals

Last month Federal Impregnation authorities arrested over one hundred illegal persons working and living in Portland Oregon. The mayor made a statement or two. What we infer from those comments is that in Portland Oregon it is considered ok to break into a person’s home, rob them, plunder them, steal from them and even murder them.
In fact the mayor of the city made it clear that he thinks that Federal laws are a bunch of nonsense. We presume he also means the United States Constitution and the Oregon Constitution as well.
So all criminals in the world now know that Portland Oregon is a safe heaven for all of you.

Lovely!

The Reason For Not Using Portable Electronics In Flight

When flying in an aircraft they ask you to turn off your cell, phone, pda, ipod or other device during take off and landing. The government supports this idea, http://www.airweb.faa.gov/Regulatory_and_Guidance_Library/rgAdvisoryCircular.nsf/0/b5c85ae8e38df676862571da00529da4/$FILE/AC%2091.21-1B.pdf.

Oregon State Leading Bio Fuels Myth

There is a myth that the State of Oregon is on the leading edge of Alternative Fuels (AF) production and sales. The fact is that currently there is only a single Biodiesel production plant in the sate, one under construction and two Ethanol production plants. While there are less than 50 places to purchase both.

We contend that if Oregon really were on the leading edge then we would have 20 production plants and 200 places to purchase the stuff.

What we do have is a lot of otherwise, until they were elected, bright legislature types that are the next best thing to a dead boat anchor. See our research below.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Biodiesel Production Plants Under Construction or Expansion http://www.nbb.org/buyingbiodiesel/producers_marketers/ProducersMap-Construction.pdf

Commercial Biodiesel Production Plants http://www.nbb.org/buyingbiodiesel/producers_marketers/ProducersMap-Existing.pdf

There are no, zero, none, zilch BQ-9000 Accredited Producers in Oregon state at his time.

Biodiesel Production: 105 Plants producing biodisel now with new Construction 77 and Expansion 8. Oregon's total is two, one of each.

Ethanol Production: are listed here http://www.ethanolrfa.org/industry/locations/ Notice Oregon only currently produces 108 million gallons a year. However are only three service stations in Oregon to purchase it at. http://afdcmap2.nrel.gov/locator/FindNearResult.asp
While there are 40 stations to purchase Biodiesel from.
Far less that the states that are actually on the leading edge, like Illinois or Minnesota, or Texas for instance. http://afdcmap2.nrel.gov/locator/FindNearResult.asp.

That is how we see it.

The Governer Of Oregon Mandates Freezing To Death For citizens

The Oregon Governor, Kulongoski, wants all of the legal citizens of the state to freeze to death.

And we quote "This bill continues the Oregon legacy of innovation and environmental stewardship and represents the single most important action we can take to accelerate our transition to a renewable energy market"

Read the full story here http://www.oregonlive.com/news/oregonian/index.ssf?/base/news/1179977125310910.xml&coll=7

So there ya have it, move or freeze. This is what happens, in our opinion, when real stupid people get elected to public office.

That is how we see it.
