“These are one-metre resolution images, which give you a big picture of the summertime Arctic,” said Thorsten Markus of Nasa’s Goddard Space Flight Centre. “This is the main reason why we are so thrilled about it. One-metre resolution is the dimension that’s been missing.”

Working together could be helpful. Think of this as kind of a war. Once this kick’s into high gear it will make World War two look like a walk in the park. Just the ports alone is a big one.

Hay,

Did you listen to Palin the speech yesterday. That was amazing to hear. She used instinct to overcome reason. She probably watches CNBC. The way that goes is if we wish to survive we need to overcome our instincts with reason. Greed, fear and stupidity is good, I think not.

The wise are instructed by reason; ordinary minds by experience; the stupid, by necessity; and brutes by instinct.
Cicero

The Palin speech was ordinary minds by experience; the stupid, by necessity and it looks like after this last election probably listening to who come on put on that old thinking cap listing to who? Nothing like a little Cicero to start the morning off. I told you the witting will change and just wait until the games start on the climate change bill then Denmark and let’s not forget the problem itself if we wish to survive we need to overcome our instincts with reason. Drill baby drill, right and let’s not forget coal that you dig for and better left right where it is. Will this be easy, no.

Read DV Mr. President? That’s the best they can do sorry illusion of knowledge is not the answer. “My fellow American’s people of Earth”.

Morning,

Is there still time to slow this down, yes with Herculean effort and a new way of thinking. Things should be made as simple as possible but not simpler. Some of course will not like this thinking well what are your thoughts on the temperatures in the Northwest the next few day’s the drought in Texas and California not far behind. Flooding in China the ice in the North going bye bye and heck let’s eat every last fish in the ocean while we are at it. So what’s being done on this Herculean effort and a new way of thinking from our fearless leaders? Take call’s from lobbyists, cap and trade, have lunch, get the suit pressed for a minute or two to get the electrons moving. Remember in just a few years it will probably be to late and will people find out? Yes and color me crazy but that will not be good for any economic indicator you can think of and then the problem itself. That article I sent you junior and Dick Cheney wanted it kept secret. Well that game is still being played think it will work? Let’s us pray to the temple of doom. I am thinking more on the lines of a million to start Capital one voice calm at peace.

Don

Read DV so called leaders?

That’s why we need a total change of paradimg from being ruled by corporate assholes to a paradigm of being ruled by compassionate, emotional, affectionate, real humans. Not American Psychos, Souless, Godless Yale, UCLA, Harvard assholes.

Any bloodshed in Honduras has been, and continues to be, shed by the illegal Micheletti (Pinochetti) government, aided and abetted by the Obama administration. Any further bloodshed will also be at the hands rocking the Latin American cradle, not the poor bugger trying to climb back into it.

Are we seriously expected to buy this US State Department-brokered “negotiated, peaceful solution to the integrity of Honduran democracy and the safety and well-being of the Honduran people”?

Puhlease! That is exactly what they had until 29 June, when their peacefully-elected president, who had been safeguarding and progressing the safety and the well-being of ALL of the Honduran people, was abducted and illegally bundled out of the country. What’s to negotiate?

Zelaya was conducting an openly democratic government, in accord with the Honduran Constitution, democratic precepts, and international law. There was freedom of assembly, open media, free transit within and across Honduran borders, open free and fair elections, and even if the rule of law did not operate perfectly, at least it demonstrably existed. The “integrity of Honduran democracy” and “the safety and well-being of the Honduran people” was there for all to see under his presidency.

Pinochetti, by contrast, not only illegally occupies the seat of government, but participated in the self-confessed illegal abduction and removal of the legitimate president from Honduras. Pinochetti has overseen the suspension of almost all civil and political rights in Honduras, evidenced by curfews, censorship of the media, ejection of numerous foreign media and observers from the country, prevention of free transit by the citizenry within and across the borders, the detention of thousands of citizens, the deaths of at least seven, and the torture, beating, disappearance, and harassment of hundreds more. The “integrity of Honduran democracy” and “the safety and well-being of the Honduran people” has been decimated under Pinochetti’s regime.

Listen up, Obama. Democracy is NOT negotiable. Democracy puts presidents in place through the exercise of free and fair elections. Zelaya was freely and fairly elected. Pinochetti was imposed on the Honduran people at the barrel of a gun.

Honduran democracy cannot be served, or have any integrity, until the legitimate president is restored, and the criminal usurpers are held to account.

Zelaya is the legitimate president of Honduras. He was not elected to be the powerless puppet of a coalition of sycophants to the U.S., but to represent the Honduran people’s interests, to protect and maintain their integrity, safety and well-being. His presidential term does not finish until January. Zelaya should be in his country now, fulfilling the functions he was elected by the Honduran people to carry out. Full stop.

The criminals who, using state resources, illegally kidnapped him and whisked him out of the country and refuse to let him back, and who continue to repress the citizenry and breach numerous national and international laws, should be arrested and brought before justice. Full stop.

The only negotiation required is that to get rid of the illegal government. …

Some would say that “very basis” is the key.
That humans are able to know this and animals are not.

I think we all agree that animals are not capable of sin.

Obviously, we are..
And it is most certainly vividly apparent in how we treat these sinless, innocent creatures.

YIKES!

Humans are like every other organism in this way: they are limited and only live fully within those limitations. Our incredible adaptations have confused us and led us into the sins of failing to be a part of the very basis of our existence.

thinking ab. our experiences appears sane; thinking ab. our nonexperience- gods, angels, devil- leads to insanity.
crusades, arabs spreading their cult by sword, judaists killing palestinans for no reason whatsoever burning `heretics` on stake, killing doctors who do abortions, persecuting homos prove to me that most or even all pious people are at least unsane and most likely quite insane. tnx

Calling religious piety a sin would be like calling physical exercise detrimental too. All spiritual and mental as well as physical efforts can be perverted and mismanaged. For one not to seek ones highest aims for fear it would offend another is a matter of self impose oppression. In itself piety of purpose does no harm but when it is used in conjunction with the original deadly sins it does.

Mankind has questions, he seeks answer and follows his beliefs based on what he sees or needs to fulfill with ideas, precepts and practices. there is no sin in following a belief otherwise intellect itself must be considered a sin.

Politics as well as massed religious intent has been a tool for the powerful to use. When mankind has no religion or pious belief toward an individual manufactured or realized belief, governments will invent themselves into being the next best thing. If any thing human frailty and the need to be accepted is a process that has been exploited by those in power as frequently as religious piety has been manipulated to horrific results.

Life is a liquid and must be filled to the value of those that wish to live it and then spilled out to be shared by others. One can’t contain it to share it if one does not seek to understand it and define it to ones self. Men are not so courageous as to act without encouragement so religious piety sometimes is the catalyst of generosity as much as it is perverted for self interest.

I disagree with religious piety as a sin but self arrogance and elitism as the folly of those wishing to oppress others to gain heightened value.

If anything one should spend ones political life disrupting those in power not inventing new lords to worship and enslave the masses under new perversions of the same oppressive beast.

We have thousand of years of conflict to prove man doesn’t need property to instigate hatred of others. Simply we should respect others and their desired claims of value and not create a system that allows transgressions by fabricated political power to be a predominant force.

Tribal warfare exist even when there is no property, but jealousy, want and envy still exist even in base human tribalism. One must not rule out the fact the people have evolved constantly with property and with out but have almost stayed relatively the same despite the changing values of property. To me that nullifies it as a sin but just another variable in the matters in which we cope to co exist.

This is where I agree with repression as a sin, excess, oppression and censorship. Humans that choose to limit others on their quest for survival too must repress, oppress or censor to guide things in their more righteous way which takes us back to how do you respect others even when they are harmful to others?

is only a curse when the ability to escape it is closed off or its value is manufactured beyond each humans leveraging its value.
Basic simple survival is access to food shelter and a way to acquire it. That in itself is tied to skill and success which is a growth away from starvation.

The curse here I think is that some take a pleasure in suppressing value and hyper inflating value beyond the means of reality.

Economic growth is not a sin in my opinion but a tool misused by many to subvert reality and oppress another’s value.

The operative word is to share to me. Life is after all a shared experience, and if we restrict those that have exuberance for invention of progress we demoralize the invention of newness that some see in lives advancing.

We didn’t get where we are through one method, I see no ability to grow without allowing people the freedom to advance there ideas. The focus I would see is, how to allow those gains to prosper all if the masses take all the power of the gain themselves and discard the importance of those that discover that gain?

Prosperity has its curses but then so does stagnation. I prefer progress in measure but then who does the measuring will in fact become the flaw.

I like the race, I like the game we call life, I especially like its realism and how one can’t hide from disaster for long as human lack of wisdom is always exposed at every corner creating the need to trust and work with each other to survive. Progress doesn’t create the folly but it sure adds fuel to the fire of selfish desires.

Indeed, the middle class has also certainly voted to the right – besides the above, they also have the added burden/privilege of being the direct supervisors and overlords of the working class for capital and have been given some reward for that in the form of increased remuneration and more control over their work process.

There’s no assurance that the middle class will be more conscientizizied (a word?) by dropping into the working class. And it cannot be done without active efforts at cross-racial/ethnic solidarity by whites. Speaking of Latin America, where the military is usually more about internal repression than border wars – most of the military is drawn from the ranks of the working class, and provided with a uniform, steady pay, and a sense of camaraderie. The State uses them as a warrior class to crush working class opposition – as well as an outlet for their miserable position in society.

Anyway, your theory is in line with other socialist theories that take hope in the worst possible scenario in hopes that the direst of conditions will spawn working class solidarity and revolution. I don’t know about that.

The real problem from my own point of view is the followers and supporters of the US government and of the Israeli government, and supporters of all fascistic governments of this world.

I posted in one of my former messages that the Middle-Classes, including the lower part of the middle classes (Lower middle classes) always side with the mainstream political parties, because from the middle-class’s point of view they think that any revolutionary political-change would be a threat to their relatively stable lifestyles. The US, Europe, Asia, and even many nations in Latin America still have a large middle-class. A big proof of this is that Argentina has a large middle class and elected right-wing candidates in their congress election just recently.

So my theory is that we will just have to wait for people to pass from the middle class to the lower-class for them to wake up. I mean we just got to wait for a rise in poverty levels in this world to see a real hunger for change in the majority of people. In other words, as long as this world has a large middle class we won’t see a change.

So think psychologically and sociologically and economically in order to be aware of why many people still vote for capitalist imperialist fascist political parties.

it wld be nice if intellectuals and scientists of the world wld study all phenomena that pertain to our and biota’s being.
this is beyond me! tnx
