Clean Up of Old Rants

i have a Rant File on my Computer which i don't Clean Out ( Post to This Blog ) as often as i should, and occasionally it overflows.
Many of these Items are Very Undeveloped.

Gawd! i hate journalists.
Partly because they just aren't journalists,
They're just newsreaders.
The Government or Their Vast International Military/Industrial/Entertainment/BreakfastCerals Complex hands them something to read, and they read it.
And this isn't just local ( News ) Organizations, It's all of them. Everywhere.
In a Recent Story about The Russian Spies; Sleeper Agents as it was, were described on ABC National News as one agent being; "placed in a job as a real estate agent" and another ...
Ack! i forget the actual phrases they used...!
Look On The Internet for Stories on this...
It was clear that they were reading straight from news releases put out by the government prosecutors.
- -
There was another story today about an alleged child molester. This mother was turned in by an internet viewer; of her shenanigans, somewhere in Europe ( ??? ).
So anyway, The point being was that the newsreaders refused to disclose exactly what she was accused of. NeverMind that they showed her face and revealed her name & where she lived, thereby disclosing the identities of her children, the victims ( ? ), But the newsreaders replaced pertinent details of actual news with vague hysterical comments such as; "We can't tell you what she was accused of, because it's just to horrible, it's the most disgusting & horrible thing i've ever read."
The point of that... and this is done routinely. ( This is a standard operating news reading propaganda tool... )
...And that is; They create a template for what they are saying is an actual news story with actual identified people, and then allow the listener/viewer to simply make the whole story!
The News Viewer is told this is A Real New Story, and you can just fill in what happened with whatever you want. And thereafter; The Viewer will happily go out the next day believing that they have a thorough and accurate understanding of what actually occurred.
- -
Another Crazy News Reader Propaganda Tool is to have a story of A Bank Robber, or other some such criminal activity,
And show a picture of the accused.
But this picture will be a tiny, tiny image, out of focus and grainy, with no attempt made to enlarge or enhance it any way.
So that Effectively; It could be anyone.
Why do they do this?
It is my theory that The News Reading Arm of The Fascist Local Governments are doing this to Invite all The Snoopy Dorothy's and Busy Betty's to call in with 'Tips', suggesting that all the suspicious characters in their neighborhood might be The Bank Robber.
This gives the Fascist Local Government a Renewable Source File of All The Odd Eddie's that aren't fitting in.
This is probably an Extensive File of everyone that dresses out of style, Artists and Writers in General, Independent Thinkers & Generally, Everyone that has a genuine concept of Autonomy & Individual Liberties.
Exactly the kind of people that The Police & Governments most Fear.

Maybe The Higher Number of Autism Spectrum Children are being produced, because it is these adults with Asperger's will be the kind of humanimals most perfectly suited for space travel.
So-- What force is acting on Human Genetics to produce these Children?
Aliens? ( The Reasonably Intelligent Designers ? )
Electromagnetic Pollution? ( Might Asperger’s be a natural Evolutionary Development, Like Larger Brains, Symbolic Thinking & Grasping Hands? )

Phase Array Cameras that could be used at Airports.
The Phase Array Camera is An Old Idea that is A Digital Camera that Consists of An Array of Receptor Elements, Each is Dedicated to A Particular Band of The ElectroMagnetic Spectrum, Along its Entire Length. Many of These Frequencies pass right through Walls of Any Composition, and would effectively make everything with The Camera’s Purview Transparent or Translucent. The Camera would also Integrate All The Views from These Elements into A Single Image that The Operator could Edit, Enhancing Certain Spectral Ranges and Blocking Others. A Computer working in Conjunction with The Composite Image would look for Pixel Areas which Matched Known Element or Chemical Signatures, such as those used in Explosives, Plastic Guns, Bullets, Biological Agents and such.
What is The True Agenda for All The X-Rays & Pat Downs?
It is my contention that The Homeland Security Agency is In Fact The Consequence of The So Called War on Terror, And The Terrorist have Won. The Homeland Security Agency & Acts is What The Terrorists were aiming to create all Along.
Isn’t it awfully suspicious that since 911 there have been no follow up Attacks,
And those that were ‘Attempted’ and Failed, Invariably consisted of multiple layers of nonsensical tomfoolery, Or were Actually Instigated by The FBI and Other Agencies to Recruit, Train, Assign, and Then Arrest Innocent Dups!
Are these Terrorists Local or Foreign?
They are Obviously Locally Grown, But what is There End Game Agenda?

One of my principle arguments against Evolution, without a directional principle,
i.e., The Intelligent Designer, Is The Time Frames for The Development of People from Sponges, and from Shrews to People.
The PreCambrian Explosion of Life, A very mysterious period in which All
( + some more that have since become extinct )
Animal Types suddenly came into existence in just a few millions of years. In All the millions of years since then, No New Major Animal Groups have evolved or been designed.
These groups are NOT Birds & Mammals, which Have come into existence comparatively recently, but Vertebrates & Insects, Mollusks & A Wide Variety of Multilegged creatures.
Just Concerning ourselves with The Vertebrates, which most people think of when you say; Animal, It is very curious that about 560 million years ago, the most primitive Vertebrates, which resembled flat worms at that time, came from sponges just a few million years earlier. Then 560 million years later you have People.
Then there is the small problem of the Dinosaur Era. This lasted for about 200 Million years, during which time, Mammals came into existence, but didn’t make much headway. They essentially started out as shrews and 200 million years later, they were still shrews.
It was only after the Dinosaurs were exterminated 65 million years ago that the mammals took off.
So;
Subtracting Those 200 million years from 560, leaves 360 million years from sponges to People.
Given that Each Individual Species Varies Widely in how long it remains One Species, that is able to freely reproduce with one another, A Wild Guess needs to be posited as to how long we will allow for each Species to have remained A Unique Step.
That is; During Each Unique Step, No Substantial Evolution was taking place. There may have been some minor improvements to this or that, but since they were still reproducing with their cousins that didn’t have these improvements, Any such advances would have waxed & wained over the length of The Unique Species’ Existence.
Some Animals seem to go for Very long Stretches as a Unique Species, such as Ants & Sharks, but other animals may have jumped from Species to Species in only a few hundreds of thousands of years or even less.
So let us say that on average; Each Unique Species, Each Step, Lasted 100,000 years.
That’s 1/10th of a Million.
10 Steps per Million Years.
So that Sponges evolved into People in 3,600 Steps.
Does that seem like enough to you?
And when you consider that Shrews evolved into People in 65 Million years.
That’s 650 Steps.
And i believe that i’m being very generous in allowing 100,000 year per step.
It is actually much more likely that each Unique Species lasted for about a million years,
Which would only allow for 65 Steps, from Shrews to People or 360 steps from Sponges to People,
Which is just ridiculous.

Conversation with Local Pastor Concerning the Nicene Creed
This pastor ( ? ) told me that the lutheran interpretation of Christ descending into Hell was that Jesus died and was sent or went willingly to The Realm of Satan & his minions.
In The Magazine ‘Plain Truth’ which i don’t think is being published anymore, There was an article that suggested that there are three distinct kinds of hell, that are all referred to in the bible & torah as simple -hell-.
The Three ( Four ) kinds:
Dead in the Ground. Inert NonBiological Goo. ( Sans Bacteria )
The Pit of Armageddon where bad souls are burnt into nonexistence
The Pit of Armageddon where bad souls are tormented for all eternity
The Home of Satan & His Minions

Given that Jesus died and was resurrected after three days,
With no mention of what he was doing for these three days,
It makes far more sense to me that Jesus simply died and was an inert corpse in the ground for 3 days.
But this is rather hard to reconcile with the assumption that Jesus was gawd,
How can Gawd die for 3 days?
It also begs the question of how Jesus died at all.
The entire premise of his being crucified was to act as a surrogate sacrifice for our sins, But if he never really ( ? ) suffered or died; Then what was the point?
This is also a common theological mistake that i find inexcusable. And that is; JudeoChristianity ( And others ) Consider this World of Humans, The real World, With Heaven & Hell Subsets that exist above & below us. It is far more reasonable, Given the elemental religious assumptions, that Heaven is the True Reality, With Earth & Hell subsets, or virtual, realities of Heaven. Given this; Jesus would have visited this imaginary world, got into a finite amount of mischief, then left with virtually little muss & fuss.
Plus: The Entire Idea of Sacrificing ( x ) for ( y ) seems very hokey to me.

But the second curious part of this is that when i tried to bring up this discussion with my relatives, i was met with blank stares.
And i thought; Was it too obvious to discuss, and which way was it too obvious?

And then i thought of Wm [Jaz] that is much smarter than me,
And fills his blogs with reams & reams of analytic discussions about things like this;
That are either very important or not at all important.
It’s either an important investigation or an utterly complete waste of time.

i don’t often have horrific violent dreams, but i had two last night.
One was chiefly populated by giant machines that tore people apart, and peaked with two women being cut into pieces by train wheels. Specifically; One woman was hit by the train wheel in the back of head, near the spine and followed through to her forehead, cleanly cutting her head in two, leaving her still screaming as the train passed over her.
After i woke up from that; i had another dream in which i was doing odd jobs, particularly trying to fix a leaking faucet with a bandana, knowing all along that there were blood thirsty guards with long cross cut saws that showed little mercy for stragglers. We ( 3 of us ) needed to pass a series of guards to get away, and maybe there was a small chance of sneaking past them, but we took a little too long, and the man in front of me lost part of his arm, The cut was not a clean amputation, but a long cross cut that left most of the arm and half the hand dangling along it’s entire length.
i had just seen the movie _inception_ which included some light violence, particularly two characters being run over by a train, with the running over part being implied, and now shown.
But i like ultra violent films and they have never given me trouble before.
The kind of night mares i usually have are where the dream is usually trying to get me to solve an incomprehensible puzzle and i slip into a sectional loop that repeats itself over and over. Usually if i wake up from such a dream, i will fall immediately back into the loop, and it’s very maddening.
- -
This got me to thinking about the universe again.
One of oldest concerns is that if at any given moment, The universe should have existed ( long before the so called big bang ) for an infinite amount of time; While thereafter, we have another infinite amount of time to finish what we’ve accomplished so far.
If anything; The big bank attempts to side step this paradox ( ? ) by denying that there was an infinite amount of time leading up to _now_.
The paradox is : Why does the universe, despite a considerable amount of complexity, seem so unfinished. Why are incarnate beings still struggling with elemental issues of moral activity?
The solution that i have long considered the most viable; Is that Evolution doesn’t cause anything to become more sophisticated; it just moves things around & around, sliding forward & backwards, So that an infinite amount of time may elapse, without showing any particular advancement along any given axis.
The universe may well have been considerably more sophisticated at some time in the past, and will again become a utopian paradise at some time in the future, but these peaks haven’t, and will not, follow any expected or predictable patterns.
- -
The Other Solution that i considered last night; Is that the universe is advancing / developing in a more desirable pattern, and has long since allowed for worlds to evolve that are no longer dominated by animals eating animals, and sentient beings brutally savaging one another.
In such a world; The Sentient Beings have incarnated into mechanical forms that pull their energy/food from the zero-point ( ? ) field to power their consciousness, which then leaks the excess heat back into this elemental field, living off the convection currents. From this position; This community of minds have created a Ξ.x layer of reality that we apparently inhabit.
The remaining question is; The Sentient beings that supervise this ( these ) layers know that they’re not real, and that the suffering is not permanent, but why expose countless souls to our experiences of horror, pain, disease & torment?
Might it be, that the universe has nothing more to offer?
Boredom and the absence of viable alternatives have left their idyl hands & minds to explore the limits of mischief.

And the Anecdote with The Neck Rub…
Whuck!
She is Dead, Then Arises after three days to give her Astronaut ( ExAstronaut, since The United Colonies no longer has a manned space program ? ) Husband a Neck Rub from ICU, Where she should be laying back, with tubes extruding from every orifice & limb, with alarm sensors attached to keep her from flailing about, And yet she is able to get up and give him a neck rub.
Does That sound a tiny bit improbable.
Why would he allow her to even attempt such a crazy thing?
It’s all wrong on every imaginable level.
If she was only reaching out to him from a coma, How does that become a neck rub?
There is Spin, And then there is so much Spin it should make anyone other than a hardened Russian ballerina; high on PCP, to fall over, uncontrollably vomiting chunks of pink cotton candy.

The Slow Lady : This happened quite awhile ago, and i am only mentioning it now because i made a note of it in my iPod Journal.
Apparently; From what i can remember, i was on the 25 going north to northtown or ? and there was a lady, oddly dressed, with a shopping cart or walker in front of her, and she was trying to take out her MP3 player. While she was trying to do this and hold on to the shopping cart ( Collapsible kind ) It kept slipping or tilting away from her, so i held it for her. She completely ignored me, but apparently acknowledged my participation by using both hands to get at and manipulate the MP3 player. What was particularly odd about this, was that she was -really- Slow. Really Slow. And when it came time for her to put the ear plugs in, she moved the left ear plug ( on my side ) up to her ear, and then ground it, and ground it, and ground it, twisting, and pushing, grinding it, over and over into her ear. Honestly; She must have taken 5 minutes on this one ear.

Tangental Thinking Group / Neighborhood Advisory Committee
There should be a service, available through a local community network, for everyone to use, that is staffed by volunteer tangental thinkers.
These Tangental Thinkers would listen to peoples problems and come up with definitive solutions. After a time, All The Usual Problems would be asked and carefully and functionally indexed on an internet site, so that most problems would be simply and easily answered without and special effort, but The Tangental Staff would always be availably, hoping for the genuinely novel and curious problem to challenge them !

One of my Most Vibrant Pet Peeves is people that criticize children that are accomplishing something as these children having thrown away their childhoods.
Most children never have anything like an enjoyable childhood.
Most children’s childhoods are a freaking nightmare of taunting, bullies, pressures to conform, behave & suppress all their natural instincts, succeed at inane & incomprehensible goals, routinely enduring mindless criticism from their parents & teachers, And Television ideals that keep urging them to commit suicide.
But a child that can really become good at something when they are very young, and have their affairs managed during this time by responsible adults, they can have a real childhood that will be extended for their entire lives.

What’s the deal with The Crisis in Japan with their Nuclear Power Plant(s?
We’ve been hearing for years & years about Japan’s expertise with Robotics,
And now that they actually have a Crisis specifically Designed for Robots to Handle, They have No Robots !
Why are they sending people into the Melting Power plant, when they should be sending in Robots?
Plus; They should have buried the whole power plant with lead bowling balls a week or more ago, and yet they seem convinced that they’re going to just sweep it up and restart it at the beginning of next month ( ? )
And : If this is a Chernobyl Sized Accident and they have to seal this area off, how much of the entire island of Japan is going to be uninhabitable for next million years?
And And : Why aren’t these Nuclear Power Plants designed so that if the power is cut off, The Control Rods don’t fall by Gravity into Their Containment Block?
Or - If you’re basically an Alarmist; The Plant should be designed so that in any sort of crisis, The Fuel Rods would Fall, By Gravity, -Through- The Containment Block, into a More Heavily Shielded Pure Lead Containment Block. Pushing them back out and into operation would be the hard part, not getting them in there in the first place.

Dreaming in a Forgotten Language ( Reference to Wm Jaz Blog )
Dreaming in a Forgotten Language is; perhaps, rather like speaking in tongues, or speaking in a language forgotten from some previous life.
But my other initial impression of this dream recollection relates to an idea i had some time ago, in which i was speculating that evolution, or angelic engineers, created people ( homo sapiens ) to possess an iq of 100, and that those people that deviated from this point of perfection were ill-equipped to function in the perfect of all worlds Earth that we inhabit.
Being dumber is obviously a hindrance; the more dumber, the more likely the victim is to stumble into some ill fate by the poor exercise of simple expectant thinking.
But the smarter featherless parakeet is also at a terrible disadvantage in most real world situations, in that often see tigers in trees where none exists, and contrive of schemes that involve too many steps, any one of which may result in some terrible calamity.
This perhaps explains why many civilizations evolved so slowly, and those that did, because, perhaps, they encouraged the smarter hamsters to self actualize, contrived of many such schemes which ultimately burnt out those civilizations in just a few short centuries.
Dumb civilizations last for Millinia,
While Smart Civilizations rapidly evolve, Then implode from within.
Very seldom does a Civilization end at the hands of foreign barbarians,
It is much more frequently pushed apart from within, or starved to death because of climatic changes.

There is something wonderfully enchanting about finding structure and order in surrealistic paintings, prose poems, the gematria & dream interpretation; But the angels that created us, and wished us to survive & flourish like Beetles, did not wish us to kill ourselves off with the ideas & delusions that too much intelligence provides.

People were designed with an iq of 100 because that suits us best.

Smoking & Creativity ( Wm Jas Blog )
This Strikes me as one of the perfect test examples for what i would like every computer to be equipped with; And that is; A Simple, Easy to Use, Near English ( Native Language ) Programming Language.
With such a tool, The User could simply instruct the computer to search for all notable writers and other artists by some easily quantified criteria, then look up the biography of each, searching for any reference to smoking & all thesaurus related terms. Then The User would either refine these results or examine them in their snipped out form to determine whether the subject was an active smoker or not.
And while in the early days of computers, Every Computer DID have an Easy to use BASIC Programming Language included with it, The Software Industry has now removed all of these easy to use programming languages from the public domain.
- -
In The Spirit of Full Disclosure; i am a fanatical non-smoker.
i grew up in an extended family with many aunts & uncles, all of whom were chain smokers, and upon this reflection; i can attest that none of them expressed any special talents or creative abilities.
If such an argument were to be made that smoking were an elemental factor to contributing to a ‘prepared mind’ to be =more= creative than one without this drug,
It seems to me that one might just as easily use the same argument for alcohol, schizophrenia, Any number of personality disorders, A violent temper, general sociopathology, acute rabies, harsh winters, unrequited love, head lice, syphilis or hyperopic vision.
Many have argued that Van Gogh painted as he did because he was ‘Mad’ and other’s have argued that he painted that way despite his Depression & Whatever else he may have suffered from.
The prepared mind may be either suppressed or ignited by any number of environmental blankets or triggers, but these elements will never activate an unprepared mind.
Many genius’ throughout European history became Catholics to enjoy a regular income and societal security, but Catholicism is rarely given as a factor in their genius.

As for those that attest to the great pleasure that they derive from Tobacco,
It has long been my simple & obvious observation that it is Their Addiction to Nicotine that makes them praise The Tobacco, which gives them relieve from The anguish of no Tobacco.

Wm Jaz’ Religious Rants
One of the most troubling responses that i have to your many reflective diatribes &/or Exhaustive Analysis’ of various religious works; Is your eternal efforts to find meaning, purpose or esoteric gnostic wisdom - -
Where none exists.
Why to Giraffes have long necks? Why to Zebras have stripes?
Evolutionists have it exactly backwards,
Zebras have stripes, Not because they gave them some advantage,
But because the Stripes didn’t kill them off.
They got along perfectly well with stripes, as they did previously, without them.

There is a very popular view amoung many amateur historians that The Ancients knew more than modern hamsters do. That the grandiose secrets that were common to The Scholars & Priests of yore, were somehow lost when animeals were domesticated & grain was used more often for bread than for beer. But before these secrets were lost forever; Some of the priests wistfully encrypted all that they knew in poems & incomprehensible prose, and then bound them with expensive, gold leaf covers, so that they would be preserved by wealthy patrons, until at some unspecified time, when curious academics in the distant future would again discover all the subtle truths that gawd shared with Adam before casting him from Eden.

i suspect that it is far more reasonable that these books were written by schizophrenics and saved for millennia for the simple reason that the enthusiastic & marginally articulate ravings of these early surrealists were far more entertaining than the bland & pragmatic, insipid & flavorless Annals written by competent accountants.

But any truths which may be derived from them, are the same truths that one may extract from studying the shapes of clouds or listening attentively to the voices of faeries hiding behind waterfalls.

Subject: Inverted Flags

Question or Comment:
i have noticed that quite a few of the drivers are sporting inverted flags
on their jackets.
While they may provide the excuse/explanation that these are 'flying in the
wind', one might expect another flag on their right shoulder patch that is
flying in the correct orientation.
But this is Never the case.
What do the inverted flags really mean?
Are they a code for an Al Qeada Sleeper Cell?
Or are they simply an expression of The Amazingly Open Racism that has
always been an important part of Spokane's Culture and Heritage?

The Inverted Flags are just wrong,
And Spokane Metro should not allow these to be displayed on their official
uniforms.

ReSponse Two :

Mr. Campbell

About two years ago, it came to our attention that the flags sewn on the right
sleeves of our uniforms were technically oriented in the wrong direction. One of
our coach operators pointed out that the flags on the uniforms of our Armed Forces
always have the 'union' (or blue field) facing forward. This caused us to research
the technically correct way to display the flag on the right sleeve of our uniforms.
It is a little known detail, and one not commonly practiced -- that is why it may
look odd. We immediately requested our uniform supplier to change the orientation
of the flags on all our future uniforms. Due to the fact that it is common for the
flag to be displayed both ways, and due the cost of replacing the flags on all
uniforms, we did not retroactively change the previous uniforms. Consequently, you
will still see a mix of both types on our uniforms.

As public servants, we at Spokane Transit are proud to display the flag as an
expression of our love of country. I appreciate the fact that you noticed and care
about this much as we do.

RePly :

i should first note that i am not a xenophobe or jingoistic ultrapatriot.
In fact i don’t even have a flag to wave.
i believe that our government routinely lies to us,
That we never went to the moon,
And that 911 was the work of a home grown group of American born millionaires,
And not that of islamic Terrorists.

Nevertheless;
i belong to the old school of believing that the flag should always be displayed with the union in the upper left hand corner,
Whether displayed horizontally or vertically.

And consequently; i will continue to believe that the inverted position is wrong.
In any other context, this would be wrong.

Just wrong.

Anyone looking at an inverted flag as those are displayed on your uniforms,
Viscerally knows that this is Not the correct depiction of the iconically presented american flag.

If you really believe that the union should face front;
Then the flags should be sewn onto the left shoulder,
Where it can be Displayed correctly.

Shoot 'Em Up.

i was just looking through Google for a Recent police shooting in which a woman in the passenger seat of a car was shot and killed by police.
i just heard a snippet of it on the radio or TV ( ? )
And so i thought i would find some more details on the interweb ( a few days later... )

Unfortunately; When i typed in Police Shooting,
i got about a million hits,
And when i tried to refine the search for innocent victim,
it cut the results back to only a half a million hits.

???

i see this over and over again;
Whenever The Police decide to use deadly force to disable a man in a wheelchair that may or may not be wielding a rock,
It invariable results in every cop in the vicinity just opening fire in the general direction of what they think, may or may not be in the correct target.

i would like to advocate a new policy for this sort of situation;
And that is;
Some of The Officers would only be allowed to use Blanks.
These are The Police Officers that can't shoot straight,
and tend to become panicky when they see a spider in the bathtub.
They would still be able to provide 'Coverfire' for The Officers that were allowed to carry live ammunition, but they would be less likely to kill innocent children or hostages.

Also: At any given location in which there was more than one Officer with Live Ammunition,
Only one would be designated as -The Shooter-.
This would be the one that could actually shoot the straightest,
And it would be well understood in any given situation, which Officer that was.

Then The other Officers with blanks would provide the necessary cover fire
To allow the Designated Shooter to safely put themselves in a good firing position,
And fire ONE or Two Appropriately placed shots to disable the suspect,
Evaluate The situation; Then fire again, If The Designated Shooter thinks that this is Necessary.

But that would take all the fun out of it,
Wouldn't it ?

Determinism: Fate or Phat ?

In A January 5th 2011 Blog Post by Wm Jas ( Bugs to fearen babes withall )
He mentions the concept of Determinism;
Asking : What does that mean?

[ From the Future } : i've been doing some more light thinking on this,
And i've decided that Wm Jas has made all the correct deductions,
But he simply doesn't like the conclusions.
i.e.; Determinism infers The Reality is Wrong.

Do you believe that anything is possible,
Or that only possible things are possible?

Determinism; for me, has always meant : Cause & Effect.
And i don’t believe in Quantum Randomality or Indeterminism Either.
i believe that everything that goes on inside a proton is happening for specific reasons, And when one of them decays, it is doing so for statistical improbable reasons, Not random ones.
If there was any Genuine Randomality in The Universe;
Randomality would take over. There wouldn’t be any order at all.
Every time Any Motion were attempted, And That Motion were to Pass through The Force Lines of Any Given Atom, Any Given Atomic Nucleus, Any Given Proton;
And encountered A Spatial Zone of Randomality; The Intended Line or Path of Motion Would be lost, and Everything would fly apart.

This analogy is similar to what allegedly happens when light passes through a sheet of glass, Or bounces off a Mirror, Where All The Photons enter the glass or mirror, are absorbed by Electrons & Are then reemitted Randomly, In Any Imaginable Direction.
The Reason that Glass & Mirrors work; So it is suggested, Is that All this Randomality Somehow Cancels Itself out and And Clear Images are Produced.

This is Suspicious.

But If Randomality Does Exist; And Does Cancel itself out,
Leaving a thin veneer of Order that arises from ( ? )
Is that Determinism?

This would seem to suggest that There is Order,
But it is Riding on a Wave Front of Neutralized Randomality,
Which means that Everything that happens,
Doesn’t happen for Reason ( x )
It happens for Reason ( x ± ).

In a Strictly Cause & Effect Universe,
Everything was set into Motion several billions of years ago,
And The Universe as we know it today was predestined at that moment of Creation,
Or - - The UnMoment of NotCreation, an Infinitely long time ago.

Or : Everything was loosely set into motion at some time, Or not,
And It has Fudged itself, Randomly, Into the current universe.
The Version with Things Randomly falling into It’s Current State, i think,
Is Far more Disturbing.

There is a Theory, Or Crazy Idea, Insane Speculation or Whatever;
That Our Entire Reality has Not slowly evolved from a structured Origin Point,
But is At The Current State that it is;
Because a Randomly UnStructured Cloud of Plasma,
Has; Given an Infinite Amount of Time to Play Around In,
Settled on This Universe, for this Instant ( or two ) and it will,
At any future moment, Return to it’s State of Randomized Plasma.

The Version mentioned a paragraph or two above seems to be only a slight variation on that argument.

- - :

Then Wm Jas’ Post considers the question of Orderliness.
How Can Orderliness be Determined?

Given A Very Simple Example of A Series of Numbers
1 2 3 4 5 7 8 9 26 68 2 3 9 …
Is this An Orderly Set or Not?

i was thinking sometime ago, and actually believed that i was making some progress on solving this problem of creating a perfect code, base on a psuedo-random number generator.

The way that proposed it working, Would be; You would create A Plain Text Document,
Then Convert all The Characters into a Three Digit Representation; A = 001 Z = 026
And so on; With allowances for Punctuation and so on,
Then Create a Psuedo-Random Number Generator that would Produce This Sequence of Numbers.
My Idea was that It - IS - ( In some crazy Theoretical Universe ) Possible to Find a Wave Form Generator that will Produce Any Desired Number Sequence.

- - [
Something like A Fourier analysis
The analysis of a complex waveform expressed as a series of sinusoidal functions,
the frequencies of which form a harmonic series.
A Field of Mathematics which i had briefly overhead somewhere’s,
and my understanding of it has not expanded from that point since !
] - -

From this Insight; i thought that it would only be a few days or weeks before i tinkered together a procedure to do this.

Although i have yet to make any further headway on this project,
It does remain feasible to me.

So.
What does this mean for Orderliness.
It would seem to me that it means that No Matter How Random Something May Seem,
It DOES HAVE, Available to it, A Procedure to Codify it, And recreate it at any future time.

Or another way of looking at it;
You may have a V-8 Engine block,
And a bucket of Sand,
And Then posit the question;
Which is more orderly?

To my way of thinking;
They are both exactly what they are.

One may seem more orderly and =Functional=,
But What does that mean to The Universe?

In The Comix -WatchMen- Dr. Manhattan has taken Laurie Jupiter ( Silk Spectre ) to Mars; And Remarks that Mars is fine place without Oil Pipelines, That Life only appreciates the Importance of Life as a Self Interested Delusion.
The Universe of Atoms is beautiful without having to be seen or admired,
These are egocentric illusions brought about within the fleeting & mundane chimera of Consciousness.

Most of The Universe ( Apparently ) gets along fine without people to snap pictures of it.

Order is An Entirely Subjective Deception of Structure.

In this book i’m tentatively working on;
As a minor Subplot of the main story,
A Time Machine is created that uses a Force that is responsible for what we think of as Time, to Turn Time Backwards, So that Events Flow Backwards in Time.
That is; When the machine is turned on; An Expanding Bubble of Reverse Time is Created, And everything within The Bubble is exposed to This Reverse Time Field.
Everyone walks around backwards, Lightbulbs absorb light, The Dead come to life and eggs leap back into their shells.
The Time Machine comes with a Bathysphere which shields this effect, So that Chrononauts can view this spectacle from a small window.
Curiously though; Since the Chrononauts are no longer part of the external world, They leave a hole wherever they were supposed to have been as time is flowing backwards around them. All The Other Laws of Physics are still fully operational, so that when a missing chrononaut had opened a door to let their infirm mother into her house; He is no longer there to cause this sequence to happen, backwards.
Hilarity of a sort ensues.
When The Time Machine turns off The Field; It has to Restart The Universe, So that it begins to move forwards again, And remarkably; This Forward Canceling Field moves slightly faster than The Reverse Field - -
So that The Forward Bubble will eventually catch up to The Expanding Reverse Field, and Nullify The Effect. So that : The Reverse Field doesn’t keep expanding forever throughout The Universe.
And this is good. Because;
Not only are there bumps caused by missing chrononauts,
But The Reverse Field isn’t quite at 100% Parity to Forward Time.
Every Time The Reverse Field is Activated, There are slight anomalies introduced to The Universe when The Forward Time Field is Resumed.
The Farther you go back in Time with this Device, The Stranger The World Becomes when you Restart it.
The Way that The Engineers & The Government have determined to get around The Principle Problem of Missing Chrononauts from The Resumed Time Line, Is to Recruit a Group of Slightly Crazy Chrononauts that enjoy being completely alone, and isolate them in an underground bunker. These Cells are completely isolated from one another and each contains it’s own Time Machine. When The Government decides that a Time Mission is required; One of them is selected and s/he goes back in time no further than when they were put into isolation.
In The Story; One of The Chrononauts; Suzi is sent back to assassinate a young boy that takes over the world with giant mechanical ants. Although while in The Isolation Cell, Suzi can’t have any contact with the outside world, He can receive phone calls, and frequently receives calls from himself, giving him clues as to how to accomplish his decidedly more difficult mission than one would have thought.
Along with the giant mechanical ants, there are several other interested parties that each have their own agenda.
There are several Alien Species that are very annoyed with our use of this time traveling technique. Of all the different ways of traveling through time, this is the worst.
The Aliens are using a variety of methods of time travel to stop us, but each method has it’s own problems.
And so on.

Exiting this Digression :

Determinism is directly related to FreeWill,
Everyone thinks that they have it,
Yet there is just NO WAY that it can work.

All Variations of Determinism, Near Determinism, Fudged Determinism,
InDeterminism & Pure Anything Goes Randomality
Are all stained with severe Improbability as a mechanism to explain how the universe got from there to here.
In an infinite universe where everything, so it is assumed, will happen eventually;
Improbability doesn’t carry much weight,
But when you’re standing in the frying pan, it does seem hot.

The Solution that i have chosen;
Which explains everything from what takes the place of determinism, freewill & consciousness; As well as bigfeet, flying saucers, angels & missing socks - -
Is that The Hindu’s got it right when they decided several thousands of years ago that the world is Maya.
Pure Illusion.

The True Reality is Incomprehensibly Incomprehensible,
But from it; Freewill & Consciousness are an Easy Extrapolation from First Principles.

The Alternative is that we simply live in an impossible reality.

Quirkiness Index / How Odd is Odd ?

How often do you hear the word : Simpatico?
A week or so ago; i was watching _The Trouble with Angels_ that used the line several times,
And then, a day later, on _White Collar_, One of the sub-characters used the word.
This sort of thing happens quite often to me, but how often would one expect something unusual, something unspecified, to happen two or three times in a row, within a constrained time frame?

It’s easy to chalk this up to Coincidence; As it is Well Understood that Anything That -Can Happen- Will Happen from time to time, and It is Entirely reasonable, And Expected that These Odd Events will happen in Sequences that any given person will notice with sufficient clarity to Note them as Being Somewhat Odd.

As The Population of The World becomes greater & greater, and more & more babies are being born; It is Entirely reasonable that Babies with a Particular Notable Birth Defect or Anomalous Condition will be Born More Often.
In Late 2009, Two Sets of Two Head Babies were born; One Set of Boys in Indonesia, that lived for only 5 days, and A Set of Girls born in The Philippines.

In Early 2011 there have been what may seem like a very large number of Massive Animal Deaths around the world. Zoologists tell us that this may seem quirky; But in actuality, Reports of this kind are quite common.
Which brings up a corollary issue; When Very Odd Things happen too Frequently; Do we Greatly Underestimate How Genuinely Odd They are?
We have become So Acclimated to The Phenomenas or Gravity & ElectroMagnetism that it doesn’t seem to bother anyone, Especially Scientists & Physicists, that No One has Any Idea what these Things really are.
( Granted; They have been thoroughly labeled and described, But no one has any idea what their underlying causality is founded on. ( ? ) )
This is especially peculiar when it comes to Electricity.
We have Tamed & Enslaved Electricity to what may appear to be A High Degree of Mastery; But There are currently about 20 Competing Theories as to What Electricity Actually Is and How each of These Explanatory Attempts Chooses to Clarify the Many Manifestations & Expressions of How it Appears in its Various Guises.

Labeling Things does not explain them.

So :
i have been thinking of How A Class of Phenomena May be Used to Create A Spectral Continuum of What i Call Swirliness.
Specifically; The Class of Odd Things that are Sufficiently Rare & Notable, That The Given Observer is Highly Likely to Recall Every Instance of When They Happened, And Clearly Recall All The Particular Details that Surrounded Each Event.

From This List; It should then be possible to Quantify the Quirkiness of Each Event, And apply this Data to a Graph that will Clearly Delineate whether or Not there is a Correlation between The Occurrences & Their Swirliness.

In Other words; Of all The Recalled Comparatively Rare Events;
( That are Not by Their Intrinsic Nature Particularly Quirky )
How many of them Are Unexpectedly Quirky?
How many of them would we Expect to Be Quirky?
After all; As we have previously noted; Genuinely Quirky Events should be Expected to occur from Time to Time—
So that If there were An Unexpected Number of Quirky Circumstances that Surrounded these Events; Then maybe; If a large number of these studies were performed and This High Quirkiness were reported again & again, Maybe they weren’t just happening in a Statistically Predictable Manner.
Maybe The High Quirkiness would be Evidence that these Events were being Constructed & Orchestrated by The Ξ.6 Controllers ( Angels ( et. al. ) ) for some Incomprehensible Purpose or Agenda.

i would also like to note at this time; That just as Astronomers have Created; Ad Hoc, Dark Matter & Dark Energy, with No Evidence for Them At All, To Explain Their Inexplicable Observations; Theologians & Spiritualists have created Daemons, Shadowy Succubins & Ogres to Explain their Unwillingness to Allow that The Meddling of Angels Must Always be Comprehensible to Our Finite Awareness of How The Universe Works.

One Collection of Studies that have already been performed that suggest something like this; Are the Comparisons of Twins that have been separated at Birth, Raised in Very Different ( Sometimes Very Opposite ) Environments, And then ReUnited by Chance Events; Have Revealed Remarkable Similarities. Some of These Resemblances are so Improbable & Inexplicable that to suggest that they were caused by The Twin’s DNA, would be making a claim far Stranger than Insisting that they were caused by ESP!

A Few More Examples :
Someone yells at you for something you didn’t do.
An Encounter with A Crazy Person.
Spotting someone taking a Pee in Public.
Spotting someone masturbating or having sex in Public.
Finding a Photograph or Letter.
Witnessing a Car Accident.
Witnessing an Act of Violence.
Being Robbed or Beaten.
Being Injured by Some Ostensible Accident.
Rescuing Someone or Something.
Spotting A Quixotic Object, Thing or Animal.
A Peculiar Conversation with A Strange Child.
Hear Something on The News that Is Obviously Wrong.

The Study that i am Proposing has to do with A Phenomena that i think most everyone encounters from time to time, Rarely, But not Extremely Rarely; And that is:
Finding Money or Wallets ( et. al. ).

There may be a Sub-Class ( or Super-Class ) of this Phenomena which consists of Finding Curious Things in Dumpsters, But this sort of things is far more easily explained by Statistics, Cultural Habits, Western Economics and such.
You may like to explore this by simply gently grazing through a dumpster from time to time, and i strongly suspect that you will, occasionally, find something that will purely astonish you.

But enough of that digression.

SubClass A : Witnessing Someone Drop Their Wallet or Money.

Finding Money or A Wallet is one thing; But to Actually Witness them at that Moment when They Drop it, That is Pretty Quirky In Itself.

3 / Seattle Washington / Early 80’s ± /
This was a odd, but not particularly quirky, one: i had just seen some movie and was leaving the theater and some guy dropped his wallet right i front of me ( about 10 feet away ), so i went over to picked it up and then for some reason, i seem to have lost him, or neglected to follow him ( ? ) or whatever.
Anyways, i took it home, and this was at a time when i was always broke, so i took $5 out of it and put a magick trick ( and possibly some other bits that were laying around ) that i had in it’s place. The Magic Trick was to put a half dollar in a wine bottle, then remove it.
The other curious thing about this was that while there were several names and addresses in the wallet, it wasn’t clear to me which one was the owner… So i just picked one and sent it by mail to that address.

8 / Oahu Hawaii / Mid 80’s
i was walking over to The Local Safeway, and Just as i turned a corner that was blocked by a building, i saw a guy across the street fumbling with something in his pocket and drop something. This observation occurred within a time frame of less than a second.
That is; If i turned the corner a moment sooner, i would have missed it, and if i turned the corner a moment later, i would have turned to my left and missed it. After all, This guy was completely unremarkable and i would not have been paying any attention to him.
So i walked across the street to see what he’d dropped and discovered that it was a $50 Bill!
This was at a time when i was a street person in Hawai`i and before i was on SSI, so that i had no income and was always broke. So i considered what i should do. ( ! )
The Quirkiness of this happenstance had a substantial influence on my decision to return it. Now then; The Second Layer of Quirkiness was that when i tried to get him to turn around and return the $50, ( Repeatedly ! ), He just ignored me— So that i followed him over to The Safeway where he went in. For some reason i didn’t follow him in, but waited outside and tried to talk to him again and again he just ignored me.
So i followed him for about a block, thinking that i’d made every reasonable effort to return it, but he was just a jerk, So i came up to the corner where he’d stopped for a light, and i came up beside him and just handed him the Bill.
And i didn’t even get a finders fee or reward.
That better have been arranged by angels!
Of course; Was i acting for the right reasons…???
Doing good for all the wrong reasons is the same as doing pure evil.

6 / Bremerton Washington / 2000±
Again; i had just come around a corner and spotted a guy dropping a $20 Bill.
In this case; he crossed the street and was just getting into a car, when i walked up to him and returned the $20.
Again; i got no reward.

( This story is a little different, but it’s so odd, that it almost deserves it’s own category ( ? ).
The defining element here is that i know exactly where the money that i found came from. )

7 / Seattle Washington / Early 80’s
i was doing some x-mass shopping at The University Bookstore.
This was when i was very poor, and after i paid for some books, or such, with probably a $20 Bill, The clerk, instead of carefully counting out my change, Just thrust a wad of bills in my hands and i was moving along.
When i got outside, i made an effort to straighten the bills out and put them away when i realized that she had given my far too much change back. i’m not sure if it exceeded the original $20, but it was a lot !
i agonized over this for several minutes, But did Not go back to straighten it out.

SubClass B : Found A Wallet or Money

2 / Ballard Washington / Early 60’s
This may be the first time i ever found anything!
i was sent to the local hobby store on my own, when was maybe 7 or 8 years old.
The store was maybe 3 or 4 blocks away, and my purpose was to buy a kite, but when i got there, i found out that i was a nickel short, so i returned home.
On the way; i found a dime, and reported this to my mother. She and my slightly older sister were angry with me that i didn’t use the dime to get the kite!
The reason that i still remember this, Was because it deeply scarred my sense of morality in that no effort was made to find the rightful owner of the dime!

9 / Pacific Grove, California / Late 70’s
This was when i was a Street Person for my second stint of about 2 or 3 years.
i was staying for a long time in the Monterey & Pacific Grove area, where some years before that, i had attended, and flunked out of The Language School There for Budding CIA Agents. If i had graduated from The Chinese Branch, i would have been sent to Taiwan and spent every day listening to Chinese Radio Broadcasts, Attempting to figure out what they were up to.
But that was water under the bridge.
At this time; i was eating out of garbage cans, sleeping under stairwells, and sitting in the library as much as possible, reading a lot of science fiction.
Every morning, Shortly after sunrise, i would walk a circuit through town, checking dumpsters and outdoor pay phones ( ! These were phones that passerby’s could use for a small amount of pocket change ) for change.
One phone at the bottom of the hill leading up to the local McDonald’s for many, many mornings, had a return change box full of quarters !
i can only speculate that some person would attempt to make a long distance call every evening, fail to make the connection, and was unaware that their money would have been returned to them.
The additional layer of quirkiness is that this happened many times.

2 / Northern California / Late 70’s
i found $5 on an outside skywalk around a library on Some Unspecified University Campus, When i was completely broke, and i would like to believe that i spent most of it for laundry, but i’ve actually forgotten.
i seem to have another memory that may have occurred at this same time, perhaps on the same night. During this time i rarely, if ever, talked to anyone, but i met a young teenage girl and i told her about the $5, and she wanted it, but i didn’t give it to her.
Then she tried to use a Spock Neck Pinch on me, but it was completely ineffective.

9.8 / Bremerton Washington / Late 90’s ±
Wallet on bus that whose address i walk past on the way home.
The Leading Circumstances for This Event are Both Important and Uncertain.
What i seem to recall as happening; Was that i started out downtown at the local bus terminal, at the end of A Day of My Usual Mischief, and for some reason i decided to take a bus that i wouldn’t ordinarily have taken, Possibly because i would have had to have waited another 10 Minutes or so. This bus that i did take would require that i walk about 6 extra blocks, but at the time, It seemed like a reasonable trade off.
On the trip home, i found a wallet on one of the seats at the very back of the bus.
It was a girly Wallet and full of gee gaw; Photos, Cards, Notes and A small amount of money.
Finding Things like this Fascinate me. i am always very curious about how ordinary people live, So that rather than immediately return it; It was my intent to take it home, thoroughly paw through it, then mail it to it’s rightful owner.
But.
When i got to the street where i was going to get off, i got off with the wallet that i’d put in my back pack and started walking home.
But after about a block or two; i began to experience a truly unnatural compulsion to examine the wallet. This violated several of my protocols regarding things in my backpack. i have a phobic reaction related to any chance of loosing things, that has evolved from my many years as a street person. Loosing anything is a Disaster, So that i have protocols to prevent anything like this from happening.
One of these rules is that i Never Open my Backpack when on A Street or While moving.
i Never Violate these Edicts. Never ever.
But on this occasion, i did.
i stopped on a corner, Pulled my backpack around to my front, and clumsily fished out the wallet and opened it. It was full of junk and the likelihood of dropping something from it, or something else from my backpack was pretty great. But i was undeterred, and found The Owners ID Card. After reading the Address; i looked up and Noticed that The Street of The Owner’s address was The Street that i was on!
Further; i noticed that The House Number was pretty close to The Numbers on The Street Sign over my head. In fact; The House of The Owner, was Literally—
Literally; Right across The Street.
So i went over to the house, Where the owner’s father answered the door, and told me that his daughter routinely lost her wallet.
Again; i did not receive any reward.

8 / Oahu ( Waikiki ) Hawaii / 2006 /
This happened in after getting on a very crowed bus going through Waikiki.
i was sitting in the back of the bus and found a wallet literally Stuffed full of bills. i’m sure that there must have been several hundred dollars in small bills.
So natureally; i thought that this must be somekind of crazy STING Operation, So i hardly looked through it before i took it up to the Bus Driver.

4 / Seattle Washington / Late 70’s /
i got on a bus heading into The University District in Seattle and found a backpack under the seat. i lifted it up and looked around, but no one seemed to own it, so i got off near The Crazy Aquatic Park that has several Uncompleted Freeway Ramps.
As a small side note; The City of Seattle, At one time thought that it would be fun to build a huge new network of Freeways, and began working on them; But then ran out of money, So that there are many areas around Seattle that have a Surrealistic Sculpture Garden of Freeway Sections, High Overhead or Vaguely connected to Existent Roads, that Don’t go anywhere.
After getting off the bus; i found a reasonably secluded spot on the grass, and looked through all the pouches.
i think i may have taken $5 or $10 out of it. This was when i didn’t have a job & Long before i was on SSI. ( i did have a bus pass though ) So after looking through the backpack, i found an address, and i thought, i’ll just take it over there. But it turned out that this was an old address ! So i took it back to The University, and tried calling the owner by dialing information, and i almost didn’t connect with the owner because i had so thoroughly mangled their name when asking if this was the so & so residence! But; After spelling it out for the man that answered, i did manage to tell them that the pack was at a specific building’s lost and found.
i think that i determined by some manner that they lived outside of Seattle ?

6 / The Big Island, Hawai`i / 2004
The Oddness of This Discovery is compounded by A Rare & Quirky Event that happened The Day or Two Before.
What happened was that i thought that it might be fun to take a bus over to Kona from Hilo. The Big Island is aptly named, as this trip from one side of the island to the other took all day.
It was late when i arrived in Kona and after turning left, when it later seemed that i should have turned right, i walked for several hours trying to find a suitable place to sleep for the night. Ordinarily; It is reasonably easy to find a church or school or other building with a suitable area to get out of view from anyone walking by, But i walked and walked and walked, without finding anything like this !
Finally; i found what appeared to be Farmer’s Market Area, that was empty for the night, to i found a booth and settled in, but Amazingly; i Night Watchman discovered me and was in the act of calling the police when he decided that i bribe would sufficient to let me go. He wanted $20, but i only had $10 on me, So he Settled for that.
i left and walked all the way back to Kona, climbed up a hill and found an open area in the dark to spend the night, before returning to Hilo the next day.
Then; A day or two later, i found $15 on the sidewalk in Hilo! i didn’t see anyone drop it, so i kept it.

7 / Oahu Hawai`i / Late 80’s
While wandering around one afternoon, i came up to a bus stop, and found a Wallet or something like a Wallet, Stuffed with pictures. Naturally, i wanted to examine it, but before i could even open it, A guy from right across the street came running over and started shouting that it was his wallet!
And then i was thinking; This is NOT his wallet ! So i asked what his name was as i looked inside the wallet, but before i could verify that it was his, he grabbed it away from me and ran back to the apartment complex that he had come from ! But he didn’t run back to an apartment, he just ran half way up the stairs, then sat down and became pawing through the wallet ( ??? )

2 / Berkley California / Late 70’s
While wandering around a school on A Saturday or Some other Holiday; i found a Purse that was Opened and it’s contents scattered over a bench table there.
It took me an inordinate amount of time to figure out that it was stolen, brought here and torn apart.

3 / Pacific Grove California / Early 80’s
While walking down the hill from The McDonald’s in Pacific Grove, i found an empty wallet on a post top and for some reason decided that it must belong to a girl from the high school that was very near there. So i took it over to the office, and the girl that had just lost the wallet was in the office. Apparently she had brought $200 to school that day to pay for something or another, and told too many people about this…!
Amazingly; i was not immediately arrested.

2 / Bremerton Washington / 90’s
i was walking home one evening from ? and found a Wallet and numerous Cards scattered on the sidewalk. i gathered them all up, then was able to find the owner’s identity and called them up. The offered to give me detailed instructions on how to find their apartement, but i was sure it would be easy to find from the address alone. i should have noted their offer to write down these instructions. The Arrangement of Numbered Units was not as Obvious & Intuitive as it should have been.
But i found them anyways, returned the empty wallet with the few cards that i found with it and Again; Received no Reward.
The Owner and her friend seemed slightly not quite right.

4 / Spokane Washington / 2008
After leaving The Safeway on Frances; i found a Razor Cell Phone, Which was The iPhone of that time. Curiously; My uncle Mike was telling me that of all the people that he knew that i gotten a Razor Phone, they invariably found that it didn’t work properly and had to take it back to the dealer again & again!
But this one seemed to work OK, except that the screen was so dim that i couldn’t view it in the bright sunlight, so i took it home to examine it.
i was curious about the phone itself, so i hunted through all the menus and tried all the buttons, finding a collection of pictures that were taken with the phone. A few of them were kind of interesting and i was thinking of mailing them to myself, but i also didn’t want to leave my email address on the phone’s memory, so i reluctantly decided not to do that…!
Then i examined all the phone numbers and picked one that seemed like a close relative, and called it. It turned out to be the owners father, who came by and picked it up, and gave me a reward of $20 !

SubClass X : Events In Which Money Played a Peripheral Role.

7 / Bremerton Washington / Early 90’s
i had recently gotten about $1400 from The Rodney’s Estate ( Ferry Insurance ) and had taken it all out of the bank to buy a computer. This must have been before i had a Debit Card, although that seems improbable ( ??? )
i distinctly recall that i had a Debt card after i’d gotten on SSI in Hawai`i, Then moved to Eugene Oregon for 3 years, Then moved to Bremerton, and for many years there, The banks on The Mainland weren’t offering Debt Cards !!! ( ? )
Anyways, i was on the bus going to The Mall, and while we were at a stop light, i noticed that a woman about a half a block ahead of us had mysteriously fallen down, and i mentioned it to the driver, but he hadn’t noticed her. So when we got to the next stop, i compulsively sprang out of the bus without my backpack, which i absolutely NEVER do, and ran back to where this woman was, She seemed insensible, so i ran over to the car wash, where again, no one had noticed her falling, so i managed, i think, to convey some urgency to these people, pointed to the woman, and then ran back to the bus, which had remarkably waited for me.
Then i went over to the mall and bought a Performa 460; which lasted for about 10 years. Although i got a Virus ( ? ) that so Corrupted The Entire Hard Drive that i had to Erase & ReFormat it, It Was The Floppy Drive that Eventually Killed it.
There was some additionally strangeness After that.
Kitsap County didn’t have anything like an authorized Apple Dealer or Service Provider, But it did have two Apple Repair Guys that worked out of their garages. One was very difficult to get a hold of, and whenever i talked to his wife, She was very Unhappy with his Decision to start his own business. The one that came over to evaluate my broken 460, decided that it would cost a lot to replace The Floppy Drive, and it would be cheaper to simply buy a new ( Old ) computer, which i did for a couple of hundred dollars. The New ( old ) computer was much faster & had a much larger Hard Drive, So i was very happy with it, But i had to buy a New Operating System for it, Because the one that this Unauthorized Apple Guy had loaded onto it was too big for The Computer. After i got OS8 for it, It worked fine.
But; The UnAuthorized Apple Guy said that he would have to take my Harddrive out of my Old Computer to download the entire contents of it onto a Single CD ( ! )
And after he sent that CD to me; All of it’s contents were corrupted!
How could he have screwed that up?
Fortunately; i’d saved everything i wanted to Floppies, And this new computer had both a CD Reader and A Floppy Drive.
And then Although i lost The Hard Drive on It Twice, The Computer itself lasted until i left Bremerton about 5 years later.
One of The Most Annoying Problems that this Generation of Apple Computers had, Was that if you Turned them off, or they lost power unexpected; They just wouldn’t restart, or When you did get them to restart, the memory would be so corrupted that they would refuse to recognize that it had a Hard Drive or couldn’t find it ( !!! )
Gawd! i hate computers !

This one is The Opposite; Where i lost some money under quirky circumstances.

3 / Seattle Washington / Early 80’s
This case is the opposite of finding money, in that i lost something like $20 or so ( ? )
i was walking down 2nd avenue, along a shady ner’er-do-well stretch and i dropped $10 or so, which is very, very unusual for me, i just never drop money, and i realized that i dropped it immediately, but in those few seconds, a young Afro-American picked it up, and he still had it in him hand, so i reached out, thinking that he would just hand it to me, but instead he said that he’d give it back for a dollar or some such, but when i took out the dollar, he grabbed it too!
And what could i do?
So i left.

SubClass Y : Odd Event that i Peripherally Witnessed.

This is a Class of Wallet or Money Incidents that i Witnessed Peripherally
or Came to be Aware of from Their Primary Source.

3 / November 2010 / Lady on bus loses wallet with 150$, Her life Savings, on another bus.
i didn’t find the wallet, but was only a witness to her telling this story to the driver. The context of the situation was that i first saw this woman with her two friends, i first thought that they were young teenagers, but after a more proximal examination, they were discovered to be middle aged women dressed up like teenagers. They were also chain smoking and seemed ‘Distracted’. The other two women seemed to be unconcerned with their friends crazy situation, and none of them had a cell phone.
i find it astonishing whenever i run into someone without a cell phone !
Which seems to happen much more frequently than i would expect !
They are just so useful, and in an emergency that applies to yourself or someone else,
They can save a life or your sanity.

He didn’t stop and i was on my way somewhere, So i didn’t stop & get off either.

This Doesn’t relate to me, but when i was introducing my idea of finding money to Sandi & her kids at Her Chrstmsa Dinner 2010, Sandi mentioned that when she and The kids were living at ( x ) there was a money tree near where they lived.
They would go out periodically and find various amounts of bill currency at it’s trunk base!
Sandi speculated that there was a crow or raven that had discovered someone’s secret stash and was pilfering it to make a nest or just to collect things, as such birds are known to do.

SubClass Z : Odd Events That Consisted of Finding Something Other Than Money.

7 / Bremerton / Summer 2000±
This doesn’t involve finding money, but a newspaper clipping.
i had just seen The Silence of The Lambs and was on the bus heading home, when i picked up a newspaper page ( one sheet ) and looked it over. One the back were some obituaries, and i never read the obituaries, but i was bored, so i looked through them, and found one for a girl that i didn’t actually know, but had seen her around town on several occasions, and i had on each of these occasions wanted to say ‘Hi!’ But hadn’t because i was too shy.
The reason for my interest in her, was that she was a dwarf, and part of what kept me from being more friendly was that she had a really big nose! And curiously; In this picture of her, that accompanied the obituary, was that they picture was straight on, so that it wasn’t obviously her! i was only able to piece together from the description of her, that it must have been her. The Obituary was about 6 inches long and thoroughly covered her whole life, Which made me very sad, As she appeared to be interested in many things that i was !
Then Months later i met someone that knew her and verified this story. Her name was Kayla Khulman ( ? )
After that; i was determined to be more friendly to people that i thought i would like to know, but of course, i have Not been ( !!! )

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

As Side Anecdotes to this ( or similar ) phenomena; Are two more examples.

7 / Bremerton / Late 80’s
1) When i was looking for apartments in Bremerton, i only really considered two places, as when i start looking for something like this, i usually find what i’m looking for very quickly, or not at all.
And at both of these places; The Front Door Knobs were so loose that you could wiggle the door open, Even if it was locked! After i moved into the second place, i took the doorknob mechanism apart, and filled it with pennies, which seemed to fix it.
i have never prior to or since; encountered this phenomena.

6 / Spokane Washington / 2007
2) When i was looking for apartments in Spokane, Again i really only considered two apartments, and moved into the second again, And both had doorways to the bathrooms that were unusually narrow. The doorway to the bathroom of the room that i moved into, opened onto the toilet so that it was very poorly engineered, but fortunately; The apartment is arranged in a very odd way, being rather small, but the bathroom has two Entrances ! And i use The larger, better positioned on. i would think that the narrow one is so superfluous that at the time the building was being built, they should have just left it out, but due to some other curiosities, when it was built, with all of the original features, maybe it was absolutely necessary ?
And again; i have never prior to this, or since, encountered these very narrow doorways to bathrooms, or anywhere else ( ? )

4 / Spokane Washington / May 11th 2009
i Went over to The Abby's on Monday to give her a Microtape Voice Recorder, So that she could record some stories of her photographs, ( Which she never used ) and while there, i noticed that one of her curlycue Energy Saving Lightbulbs had burnt out. It was my understanding that these would Never burn out, Or; At the very very least; They should last for decades. -- When i got home, within a day or two, The Curlycue bulb in my desk lamp burnt out.

This sort of thing seems to happen quite a lot; Whereas something will foreshadow another event, or simply participate in a triplet of Events...
Things really do happen in Threes.

6 / Spokane Washington ( re : Midwest News Items ) / Mid 60’s
Another Three's event was when i was around 12 or so ( ? ) i had heard on the news that a Grain Silo had Blown Up...!
Apparently the grain sometimes becomes unstable, Too hot or wet, or Swirls up into a cloud of fine particulates, The somehow ignites, blowing up ( ? )
… But during this period of a month or so, there were several reports of this happening, and both prior to this, and thereafter, i have never heard of such a thing happening...?

Another Class of Events that is really very different, but very vaguely within the same superclass of events; Is when i am curious about something, and without having to, or unable to find the answer or solution on the internet or other conventional sources, i will simply overhear someone talking, or hear it on the radio or TV, or due to some quirky set of circumstances, i will say the solution, and at that moment, realize that i have just answered the question that i have wondered about for weeks or months ( ! )

9 / Bremerton Washington / 2000±
One was; i had known this vaguely crazy, very mildly retarded girl in Bremerton, very casually, for some months, and she mentioned on day on the bus that she had recently gotten married, So i was curious about who her husband was; And then a week or three later, i was in the main city bus terminal, and this guy, who was completely crazy, unattractive and disheveled, and in her company, was running back & forth in the terminal & literally screaming that she was his wife ( ? ! )
i later learned that she divorced him and married a much older man.

8 / Ellensburg Washington / 2005
Another time; i had eaten a sandwich from Subway that contained eggs, and this sandwich had made me very ill, The yellow of the eggs had immediately passed right through me.
So then, because this was the only fast food place in this town; Ellensburg, Washington, i was there again a few days later, and i overheard the counter guy talking to another customer about the eggs, which were revealed to be synthetic eggs from a Carton ( ? ) For the longest time after that, i was convinced that i was allergic to eggs, which had never given me trouble before, but this episode was so traumatic that i shied away from them anyways, And then years later, i started eating eggs again, with no ill effects.

Small Rant for KXLY's : Talk Back

RE: Bomb threat at the MLK parade in Spokane Washington:

The instigators of this are hiding in plain sight. Just look around for people displaying their american flags in an inverted ( left to right mirror orientation ) manner. They are seen on many commercial trucks and predominantly featured on the uniforms of many city workers. ( ? ) This could easily become a Pulitzer Prize winning story of someone brave enough to dig into it. Don't let the initial 'explanation(s' distract you, keep digging. ( ! )
It's a huge international movement.
All The actions taken to prevent terrorism, are exactly what they wanted all along. They have succeeded is disrupting international air travel, made many people fearful, and created an atmosphere of opposite day where everything that is good for America is thought to be bad for it.
Don't you find it a little suspicious that if there really was an international terrorist organization, with funding in the billions of dollars provided by oil sheiks & nations interested in over throwing western civilization, there have been no successful attacks against the united states since the very suspicious 911 ? Maybe their attacks have been successful ( ! ? ) Maybe our steady loss of civil rights & support for the lowest tiers of the working class have been their true agenda all along. Blowing things up doesn't change or fix anything, except making people fearful enough to allow another layer of their freedoms to be taken from them without a fuss.
It's been suggested in the past, to follow the money.
When it comes to The War on Terror, Follow the causality that is leading western civilization into a fascist state with every citizen bound with electronic shackles.

Coast to Coast AM ( The Art Bell Show )

Several Years ago; Just as Art Bell was becoming a Household Media Whore,
And his program began to attract the largest Audiences in AM Radio History;
He Retired, Ostensibly due to A Back Injury.

The New Host :
George Noorey is a dim shadow of Art Bell,
And as a consequence of his inability to hold a steady train of thought,
i have had to, on many evenings, choke down my own vomit when listening to Coast to Coast.

But most recently; George Noorey has Crossed over his own lines of Disreputable hosting... ( ! )

Note to George Noorey C2C
[ i apologize for not addressing this issue sooner,
but i don't have internet access her under the porch when i live,
wrapped in a damp blanket,
filling my underwear with discarded kittens to keep warm. ]

[ i further apologize for this missive being so long,
but i've been appending snippets to it over the course of several days ]

Regarding George Norrey's continuous rants & tirades,
using the most immature language & demeanor,
concerning The Shooting of U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords of Arizona
by Jared Lee Loughner ( The Lone Gunman of Tucson )
. . . .
Re: Referring to The Tucson Assassin at a Looney, Kook and so on.

Question: Are you interested in appealing to your audience's lowest common denominator,
or lifting them up to a higher standard of thinking & behaviour.
If your intent is to race ahead of Rush Limbaugh as The Principle Dimwitted Cretin of AM Radio, The gap is rapidly shrinking,
You are well on the path is achieving this illustrious Title.

Essentially : When you talk like that, You sound like a retard.

It's hard enough to listen to Coast to Coast on any given night,
And i have long admired the patience & restraint that all the hosts demonstrate with your callers,
But please present yourselves as professions in search of some greater truth,
Rather than merely Rabble Rousers.
. . . .
As a Side Digression; i believe that no one ever does anything that they think is wrong.
From your neighborhood pedophile cannibal,
to burglars or pick pockets or plain spouse murderers;
They may understand that you think what they're doing is wrong,
in the same sense that you understand that The Taliban believes that our women are dressed immodestly,
But you dismiss their irrational beliefs as the ravings of lunatics.

Everyone thinks that way.

Whenever someone goes on a murderous rampage,
they undoubtedly have very good reasons for motivating them;
Are they acting on irrational beliefs,
or is our critical analysis being mislead by a dirge of information that they are privy to?

Which side of the kook fence are you sitting on?

Although that was a rhetorical question;
The Answer is; You can never know.
You should know better than most people,
that there is never enough information available, to know,
if it's you or them that are the kooks.

Were Mischievous Angels Directing him, for some reason(s that mere mortals would find incomprehensible, or does everything happen for no reason at all?
. . . .
i was hoping that this would be old news by now; But as of Thursday, you ( George N ) are still beating this dead horse and still defending your childish naïvete.
. . . .
It is universally accepted, even by atheists, when miraculously good things happen,
The Recipient will instinctively thank their particular flavor of gawd;
But it seems that it is equally universal that humanimals fail to understand that the agendas of angels may be starkly different than what mere mortals believe to be good & desirable.
Most prominent is that what, or how, transient mortals perceive death,
is Not how angels perceive and use death as a tool to achieve their end games.
The Deaths of mortals is not appreciated by angels with the same fear & mystery as its recipients do.
Angels do more than give us what we desire,
They provide us with the circumstances & providence that we need,
even when it seems very quirky & horrifying.

Do you believe that angels are caring for us all the time,
Or only occasionally—
During their leisure time for their recreational bemusement?
. . . .

In The same way that Astronomers have conjured up Dark Matter & Dark Energy
to explain their apparently empirical observations,
Theologians & Philosophers have summoned up Daemons & Fiends to explain away the disconjunct between The Activities of an unjustifiably All Good, All Just,
Omnipotent Deity whose understanding of the universe
is as limited & unassuming as Ours.
. . . .

On still another level;
NPR ( The Antithesis of AM Talk Radio )
ran a program that has filled me in on What is going on with The Radical Far Right;
Specifically, Unambiguously calling of An Armed Insurrection to Overthrow our Current Government.
Sarah Palin & Rush Limbaugh are heard every day, calling for America to pick up their guns and kill democratic politicians.
They are not beating around the bush or speaking in metaphors,
they are telling their listeners to pick up their guns and murder the people that are trying to protect our economy & provide affordable health care for the working class that forms the backbone of western civilization.

i used to think that The Republicans represented big corporations & The Democrats represented the common people;
But The Actual Politicians, once in office are indistinguishable from one another;
Republicans are often responsible for enacting legislation to promote the issues associated with The Far Left, such as Women's Rights & The Environment,
While Democrats defend the Issues that The Far Right is Fanatical about.

It seems like The Peanut Gallery ( AM Talk Radio Personalities )
& The Damp Masses wave back & forth like tall stalks of barley & merely create a distracting & dangerous background of white noise that serves only The Snake Oil Advertisers that give these lunatics a forum to shout incoherently to whomever can't find anything inanely distracting to watch on TV.
. . . .

Coast to Coast shouldn't be contributing to this Black Vacuum of DisInformation.

Stick to just being Crazy on Topics that concern only those listeners that are living Outside The Political & Cultural Spectrum that eats properly cooked hotdogs & drive cars with well serviced airbags.
. . . .

Much of this current Debate is very reminiscent of an argument that took place many years ago when critics of cinema violence were insisting that the gratuitous gun play in the movies was a direct causal mechanism for a spate of violence in many American Cities.

At this same time ( ± ) The Vinyl Record Industry was under attack by this same class of pecans & cashews that wanted all records to feature Rating Stickers.
Many Radical Musicians; Notably, Frank Zappa,
Were sure that this was Blatant & Rampant Censorship.
At this same time; i interpreted this movement as Truth in Advertising & Information Helps Make Accurate Decisions.
As much as i love Frank Zappa, He was overreacting on this issue.

But the point is : In both of these cases; The Musicians & Film Makers wanted The Damp Masses to Believe that their work was Both Relevant to The Creation of Western Civilization,
And Simultaneously, It was having No Effect on The Behaviour of Featherless Parakeets & Ill Suited, Shaved Hamsters.

As Dick Cavett noted ( ± ) from left field;
The movies are filled with Witty Comedians; Yet do we find the streets filled with Comedians?

i don't know what his point was; But while imitating Oscar Wilde requires a Substantial Intellect & Quick Mind, It takes considerably less Natural Talent to pick up a gun and shoot someone.

This Same Situation is Being Readdressed Now;
Many Media Pundits are Insisting that they have A Constitutional Right to Broadcast their Incendiary & Subversive Ideas, They further insist that These Comments would only be interpreted by only the very few Clinically Psychotic Individuals to Actually Act on Their Pronouncements.

Free Speech entails its corollary responsibility; Freedom of No Speech.
