 The Color Clock0 comments

Well I've been thinkin about time and
I just happened to note that time is both a
subjective and objective entity yet
as to the naming of the time it seems
primarily an objective or physical or
numerical exercise.
Why? Should not time express more than
mere numeracy.... I think yes....
so then I debated that each second in a way
could represent a particular state of time
so that in the course of the year if the smallest
state of time were a second there would be more
than 31,000,000 million "states" of time in one year which
is somewhat unmanagable so I thought
well color theres a descriptive aspect that might apply
to time so I though yes why not a color clock where the
hours were representative of the colors of the rainbow.  More >

 New "New Orleans"!3 comments

The Point

Well the overwhelming point the seems to be emerging
then is that it is not "best" practice to build a community
20 feet below sea level. But that would almost seem common
sense but whats done is done. Perhaps resources might be better spent establishing a "new area" ie: New "New Orleans" in a more fortuitous place. Any ideas where their might be room in your country for such. Rather than the adopt a family program and taking these people into ones home, one might simply voluteer a spare car for these people to temporily call
home and set up this car city in an accessible and promising
place.

Now I realize it is not easy to leave ones home but
well no buts there are not many answers to the rentless
forces of nature.... Nature must be respected and to do
otherwise is to invite such folly.

One should therefore not throw good money after bad and
set up a proper place for these people to have and to hold.  More >

 Operation: "Media Rescue"5 comments
category picture2 Sep 2005 @ 15:25
It has just occured to me that
the "media" seems the only one getting
through to these areas and they seem to have a willingness
and perhaps "duty" to help so if the could be
contacted and coordinated and use their resources
and experience to provide relief in the Katrina
disaster.... it would go a lot farther then providing
mere "news".. and rehtoric..
Any way I think the media has more of a conscience
in this concern any way..... more of a willingness
towards the truth somehow.........
I know the media is supposed to be "objective" and "non- partisan" but saving peoples life is neither of these but our
duty to our fellow human beings....... and the "necessity of the moment......"..
The media has resources and maybe some of these resources
can be tapped for the immediate concern....

previous posts.....

I was just wondering what can be done in the
interm for these people and I thought
maybe different states could "adopt" a family
for a couple of months if they feel they can
be so willing and have the room.
This is kind of an emergency and "unprecidented"
situation and calls for creative and extreme
measures. Perhaps some of the "military" dollars
could be channelled to the "crisis" at home...

and of course the dikes will have to be strengthed
renewed and redeployed and the water pumped from
the area and a general cleanup. Where is the
"national guard here" and the "minute" men?

anyway when our city was recently flooded it was
found that the quickest way to convey and coordinate
the information and news from city hall was the
cities web site. It was easier and more convient for
people to access than the traditional media and
the web page staff seemed there around the clock
with current and breaking updates.

Just some ideas

A disaster of similar proportions occured
in Amsterdam in 1953...

It is therefore not necessary in this situation
to totally reinvent the wheel but learn
from some of the lessons they acquired.

Dutch Background = [link]

Well hmmmmm then if your Government is not prepared to help
these people then I suppose you the people will have
to help these people.

Perhaps the Officials have just become to good at shuffling paper when a shovel is the instrument required.

Lets do it then shall we?

Well first since the "necessities" are in short
supply every one in the effected area will have
to understand that "rationing" could be in effect
and perhaps a "curfew" to dissaude and
discern the looters
perhaps food coupons could quickly be issued.
And bottle water immediately be ceased and diverted to the state under "disaster" authorization.

Top priority
In order to contain disease outbreak
the sewage and dead matter with have to be
collected, contained and disposed of.
Also the city hall should be sequestered
as a temporary headquarters.
And work and volunteer crews assembled to
carry out the directives.

I suppose someone should dig up the cities
disaster relief plan as I take that is a
requirement for all cities.
No?


As well NASA should be consulted to determine if
any more possible systems will be moving into the
area so people should be on stand bye in case another
system should move in and repeat evacuation be required.
This may be a "new" trend as far as the effects and consequence of the land mass movement of
the 2004 Asian Tsunami....
So don't go home just yet....
Analysis and assessment of these possible "new" weather patterns should be initiated and cooridinated.
It may actually be that the city may have to be
abandoned or greatly resturctured in the face of change.

I suppose my point would be
that it is a little to late for hindsight

and it is a time of "action" grasshopper
you must contact those "responsible"
and "insist" that they do the job that is
required or insist that some else with
the capacity do it......

why berate the obvious when people are
dying ....

email a letter to the editor
email amensty international
email the white house
email congress
email the UN
email the Red Cross
email the National Guard
email the Homeland Protection Agengy
email your senator
and all those appropriate

the people "MUST" speak to the appropriate
and "RESPONSIBLE" administration

act grasshopper

it is to late to blame and criticize  More >

Definitions of electrosphere on the Web:

* A layer of the atmosphere, beginning a few tens of kilometers above the surface of the earth and extending to the ionosphere, in which the electrical conductivity is so high that the layer is essentially at a constant electric potential.

okay Houston we have lift of....

up up and away in my beautiful ballon....

Blessed are We and They
That serve Love and Truth
Most of the time.
