let's blog
Methinks we are seeing something wildly wicked and strange coming this way into a sea change.

Arthur C Clarke
"Communications satellites can bring to every home on earth sadism and pornography, vapid parlor games or inflated egos, all-in wrestling or tub-thumping revivalism. Yet they can also expose lies and tell the truth; no dictator can build a wall high enough to stop its' citizens listening to the voices from the stars."

yet another moron
Ruben MNavarette, Jr., is scared of justice creating animosity
Aw, so the CIA and FBI won';t be best friends, maybe.
As if they ever were.
Moron.

Tesla, Einstein, squaring the circle
Tesla was critical of Einstein's relativity work, calling it:
"...[a] magnificent mathematical garb which fascinates, dazzles and makes people blind to the underlying errors. The theory is like a beggar clothed in purple whom ignorant people take for a king ... its exponents are brilliant men but they are metaphysicists rather than scientists ...[76]”
Tesla also argued:
"I hold that space cannot be curved, for the simple reason that it can have no properties. It might as well be said that God has properties. He has not, but only attributes and these are of our own making. Of properties we can only speak when dealing with matter filling the space. To say that in the presence of large bodies space becomes curved is equivalent to stating that something can act upon nothing. I, for one, refuse to subscribe to such a view.[7]”
I think one reason Tesla didn't like relativity is that it removed the Cosmic Backdrop, the Cartesian grid of properly abstract space, and replaced it with a world where everything is local, everything is the center of its cosmos, every atom a solipsist. This appeared to Tesla, I believe, as removing the great bedrock of inertia from which Tesla theorized we could draw virtually unlimited power from the very air.
But Einstein was right: there are no straight lines. The only straight line would be an overall lambda wave looping on itself, just as walking on the ground -- a curved surface -- is the only straight line there is in relation to Terran gravity.
As I walk the curved surface of this flat earth, I also move 1k mph as the planet spins, move ? fast as the planet orbits the sun, ? fast as the solar system orbits around the center of the galaxy and in whatever (round!) eddies form in the turbulent galactic tide.
Circles, circles, circles.
Saying space cannot be curved because it can't have properties, being a mere abstraction of human thought, assumes that space is simply a product of human thought.
And human thought is the most roundabout thing in the cosmos.
Every standard 3-d map of any space of the cosmos using rectilinear grids, will suffer circular forms to be imposed upon it as soon as the Four Forces (gravity, electromag, weak nuke and strong nuke) are accounted for. Classic blackhole visualization shows a round vortex forming within a grid of squares. The curved forms caused by gravity and the other forces are real: it is the Cartesian grid that is entirely abstract.
Einstein didn't square the circle but he circled the squares.
Tesla also believed that much of Albert Einstein's relativity theory had already been proposed by Ruđer Bošković, stating in an unpublished interview:
“...the relativity theory, by the way, is much older than its present proponents. It was advanced over 200 years ago by my illustrious countryman Ruđer Bošković, the great philosopher, who, not withstanding other and multifold obligations, wrote a thousand volumes of excellent literature on a vast variety of subjects. Bošković dealt with relativity, including the so-called time-space continuum ...'.[78]"

On pending healthcare reformlegislation...
Some wise guy at the Poor Man summed it up well:
"They really need to rewrite the bill(s).
If you are dumb enough to believe in Death Panels, you go before a Death Panel. Which doesn’t think highly of stupid people.
If you have a modicum of smarts, will then, as you were, carry on, keep up the good work.
Is that so hard?"

Shatner comes close -- at last! to something like redemption
His shining moment.
For this was he not born, yes?
But the man on bongos is, we know, the true once and future king of space, the final frontier.
