Ran across this article, “‘Matrix’-Style Effortless Learning? Vision Scientists Demonstrate Innovative Learning Method“, and thought I’d throw it out there as food for thought.
It seems that presidential candidate Rick Perry favors sending US troops into Mexico to start yet another war front, this time with the drug cartels south of the border.
What? Start yet a fourth war front??? Yes, I said fourth war front.
Let’s review. The first war front is that against the American citizens themselves. The government has declared war against it’s own citizens through the DHS. The constant ethical and citizen rights violations perpetrated by the DHS against citizens in the name of security are easily followed in the news. The last episode was once again a violation of the dignity of a cancer survivor who had medical documentation stating the issue. This was supposed to alert the DHS agents to a problem that’s been documented with some of the medical treatments and reconstructive techniques for cancer survivors. While I understand the caution agents are expected to exercise, it seems that they can’t be bothered to use even a modicum of good customer service and listen to the person being molested. Once again they can’t be bothered to prove that they’ve human beings; that they’re nothing more than sociopaths given free reign to practice their anti-social behavior against innocents.
The second front is Iraq, and the third is Afghanistan. Nothing more need be said here. And now Rick Perry is willing to sponsor a fourth front in Mexico itself. I understand that the drug war in Mexico is right on our door-step. But I’m not sure that the Republican party much less their Tea party SS dogs understand the difference between assistance and invasion.
And this doesn’t even consider the world-wide war front that some feel justifies violating the sovereignty of other nations while pursuing terrorists or enemy combatants. I won’t into how this hurts America’s credibility overseas and jeopardizes the lives and rights of citizens abroad.
I’d forgotten that Oktoberfest is getting ready to start. I was reminded when I ran across this picture.
I just ran across this great Kingfisher picture that I thought I’d share. I can well imagine the patience the photographer went through to catch it at just the right moment.
It’s been too long since I last udpated my blog. Almost half a year and has it ever been busy. Moving, cleaning, painting, packing, unpacking, etc. What’s sad is that I have all these tools in order to blog but haven’t had time to use them effectively. Oh well.
Quick sumary: Old house on the market, new house mostly moved into, still have unboxing to do. Tried curling, had fun. Wife fell and got hurt. 
Hope it hasn’t dampened her interest or ardor for the sport. New game – Borderlands – lots of fun and Mac native. 
Got Parallels 7, still need to testing gaming on a Win7 VM with the new Parallels to see if there’s any significant performance difference. I’m hoping so. I’d like to get back to playing around with BF2SP64 again. Thanksgiving is almost upon us, as is wife’s birthday. What to get, what to get….? Halloween next month. Gotta get the goodies for the kids. First time in the new neighborhood. Can’t believe that X-mas is only three months away and then then 2012…..where has the time gone????
