“I’ve spoken of the shining city all my political life, but I don’t know if I ever quite communicated what I saw when I said it. But in my mind it was a tall, proud city built on rocks stronger than oceans, windswept, God-blessed and teeming with people of all kinds living in harmony and peace; a city with free ports that hummed with commerce and creativity. And if there had to be city walls, the walls had doors and the doors were open to anyone with the will and heart to get here.”

“Let us not flatter ourselves on account of our human victories over nature. For each such victory nature takes its revenge on us. Each victory, it is true, in the first place brings about the results we expected, but in the second and third places it has quite different, unforeseen effects which only too often cancel the first.” – Co-founder of Communism Fredrick Engles.
Had he took his own advice he’d understand why his experiment was doomed to failure. Markets may be cruel and uncaring, but they are as natural as evolution and erosion. Mess with them at your peril.
One of the most remarkable things about the way we lie to kids is how broad the conspiracy is. All adults know what their culture lies to kids about: they’re the questions you answer “Ask your parents.” If a kid asked who won the World Series in 1982 or what the atomic weight of carbon was, you could just tell him. But if a kid asks you “Is there a God?” or “What’s a prostitute?” you’ll probably say “Ask your parents.”

The US State Department agent asked to see my passport, and the concierge explained that I was a Somali refugee. So she looks at her computer screen and says, “um, I’m afraid there’s a problem, this passenger’s name is on a watch list.” Oh, great. Looks like my dad is playing Mr. Buzzkill again, just because I took that semester off from Oxford to go backpacking in Yemen. So I showed her my official State Department visa.
So I’m like, “honey, do I look like I’m a US military veteran?”
“No.”
“Do I look like I’m some sort of right wing anti-tax teabagger?”
“No.”
“Do I look like anybody else on the DHS terrorism danger list?”
“No, but…”
“Then I suggest that unless you want a nasty anti-discrimination lawsuit on your hands, you’d best give me an aisle seat. With extended legroom.”
My Way News – 2012 isn’t the end of the world, Mayans insist.
I’ll point out that 2012 is the first year I’m eligible to run for President (assuming I can get a copy of my long form certificate from the lib’ral Suffolk County).
At some point over the past few weeks I did something on my home network that managed to prevent me from hitting my own blog which is also hosted local network.
I’ve finally messed around with the U-Verse router and and by creating an IPTV DMZ which my set-tops can live on, and then use the DMZPlus feature to map the external IP address to my Linux Firewall.
Now I can redirect traffic appropriately using a security device I trust (Sorry AT&T).
That chore done, I’ve got a cisco VPN device to build for office network access, plus I’ve got a VM of GroundWorks NMS and VMWare Studio to play with.
