Friday Sciences: Why bother

My son said to my wife the other day, "You would be amazed how well things grow when you water and fertilize them".   My wife told me this because she is always telling me I don't do it right or whatever.    I said, "Anyone can grow things with water and fertilizer, what  is the trick in that?"  That reminded me of Roy Pearse, an old mentor of mine that taught me all kinds of stuff.  He told me a story about an engineer guy that wanted a grant from NASA to develop a way to grow plants on the moon.  He was at some meeting about future NASA projects and gave some preliminary information about the potential project.  Well, they asked Roy his opinion of the guys proposal. 

Roy:  Are you going to grow it in dirt?  (I think Ralph like people to think he was more of a hick than he was)
Eager Engineer:  (with dollar signs in his eyes) Yes, moon soil.
Roy:  Water, are you going to use regular water?
Eager Engineer:  Recycled, yes, nutrient balanced.
Roy:  (nodding ) Good, good, Sunlight, are you gonna use sunlight?
Eager Engineer:  Oh yes, of course.
Roy:  Hmmm.  I know a guy in Kansas that does this kinda thing.  Been doing it for years.  He knows just how to grow lots of stuff with dirt, water and sunlight.

Roy was not really a mean guy, he just wanted people to think a little bit before opening their mouths in public.

The mind is a terrible thing to waste.  The greatest commercial ever on television.  Science bothers both the rich and the rigid, scares the religious and the righteous but it should not.  It is just discovery. 

Aggressors, foreign and domestic

Why, what we need is a little individualism taking hold and someone kicking ass on things like "supply chain" , "trickle down economics" and "intelligent design" all of which are propped up by voodoo science.  You cannot find two great mathematical or scientific studies that are worth a pound of pig shit on these topics. 

Recap:

For those who do not know, "Supply Chain" is a business strategy for lots of companies that merge into a huge mega company.  There is a theory that they will save money if they de-centralize everything and share procurement, human resources, engineering and logistics across the entire 150 thousand employees.   It sounds great and looks great on charts.   A now huge layer of Management is very happy because they can look at pictures and charts while they are at their health clubs trying to bone the towel boy/girl.  The usefulness of supply chain is that it eliminates the need for intelligent managers and probably cuts down on lawsuits.

Trick down economics is basically, "If the rich get richer, they will most likely have to hire more pool boys/girls to bone at a lower cost because they are all replaceable.  So unemployment goes down and poverty broadens its base.  Greed will never feed the orphans and widows. 

Intelligent design says than some intelligent force created the universe.  So what, does that mean that the theory of evolution is not a theory.  Does intelligent design explain how the force created pet dogs and dinosaurs.  NO, and it does not try to.  That is ok but it is not science and it is not a theory so do not teach it as one.  Teach it as a faith based fact.  When we were kids we hated the reason for anything being "because I said so" even if it was God who said so. 

Ignorance and the greatest enemy of the State.  Sheep and chickens are the dumbest animals ever domesticated.  That is what They (the burgermiesters) are trying to do to us.  Make us ignorant and docile so we will not see the slaughter.

The Constitution: Fourth Amendment

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

John Adams is responsible for the "reasonable"  statement.  It is disconcerting how vague "reasonable" has become even for those in trusted with our honor.  If everyone was reasonable, life would be simple and direct. 

Is it reasonable to assume a black man driving a black Escalade with dark tinted windows and expensive rims doing 85 mph heading north on I-95 is a possible drug runner and should be checked?  The funny thing is that this profile is now enlarged to include Latino men.  If Belgian Sheep Herders become the rage for drug trafficking, will we add them to the profile description?  Or how about Skin Heads.  They have a bulls eye on their hairless heads.  I think if I saw a skinhead driving an F-350 with mud tires and a girl with no teeth tied in the back heading north on I-75 like a bat out of hell, I would just think it was a shotgun wedding of some sort.  But if he was 1/16 mulatto it would be white slavery all righty then.

In the old south, if you were driving a fast car and looked like you belonged in a Deliverance movie and were heading down a back road, you were searched by the Revenuers. 

I think if it looks like you are doing something wrong, there is a 50/50 chance you are doing something wrong.  I would like the popos to check it out.  Maybe not just because you are black or Latino but also by the width of his nose. Hell, if someone would have stopped me from doing all the crazy shit I was doing, I would have been saved much pain and many scares.  I do think that we should hassle anyone that has his pants below his ass because anyone dressed like that will sooner or later be doing something wrong and illegal.  He will have not choice because he can not work with his pants there even if someone would hire him.

Unreasonable search and seizure should be a no brainer. 

The Player Gets Caught part V

The Player just hung up from one of his bitches on his alternate and secret cell phone number.  His wife calls on the regular cell phone number.  She does not know his phone can receive two numbers.  His secrete number has silent alerts and hidden text message receiving.

Player:  Hey Babe, whats up.
Wife:  Some bitch just called named Mandy and said you don't love me any more and you actually love her and so since I do not work, I should move my sorry ass out and she wants to move in.

The Player over corrected and drove into on-coming traffic.  The lady with the miniature Schnauzer in the silver Izuzu will never look at a leisurely drive quite the same way. The Player, in true form never put down the phone or stopped talking as he re-corrected.  He is good.

Player:  Those boys at the Barber Shop, Mandy is one of the whores that hangs with Jess.  The boys put her up to that.   Mandy, no way, she has crooked teeth and a wandering eye.
Wife:  Where the hell are you?
Player:  I am just passing the  I-10 exit.  I should be home in twenty.  Hey honey, there is a lot of traffic, let me call you back.

There was no traffic, the Player had stopped to check his underwear.  He was sweating profusely and breathing hard.

Player:  Hey, Mandy, what the fuck is your problem.  (he is looking at the phone while yelling in to it) Did I not tell you I would see you tomorrow!
Bitch:  I know but I miss you and it has been three days since I saw you.  I was lonely.
Player:  Well, you are gonna be a lot more lonely.  We are done!  I can't have bitches calling my house talking to my wife.  I will be there in five minutes to get my shit.

The Player knows that bitches are crazy and if he leaves a sock or a shirt there, or even cologne, she may take it to his wife to prove their love affair.  Now she is just lonely, soon she will be extremely pissed off.  The Player pulls into Mandy's apartment complex which is quite covieniently on his way home from work.

Player:  (knocking on the door) Mandy, let me in.
Bitch:  No, you are gonna hit me!
Player:  I should hit you, just let me in and lets talk about this.
Bitch:  You gonna hit me?
Player:  No, too many people around.

The Player starts telling Mandy that she is a fine girl while all the time rounding up his cloths, notes, cards etc.  He even took the perfume he gave her.  Which quite coincidentally was the same type he buys his wife.  Women have a great sense of smell.  They can tell a strange smell better than a drug dog.  Pepperoni does not even work on women.

Player:  Mandy, I do love you but I can not trust you any more, Bye!

He backs out the door and runs to his car which is parked about six units away out of sound and gun range.  His wife is expecting him soon.

I knew it, I knew it, I freakin knew it.

Justin Bieber's hair, I knew I had seen that hair before.

So, now how does this fit into my "fractal" theory.  I know it is part of the "nothing is really new" and "history repeats itself" and that is certainly true for styles.  I remember Michael Jackson and the moon walk, James Brown did it thirty years earlier. I will have to think on it, I cannot use the "dust to dust" thing on this one.  Kinda weak.

I started to wonder about his hair when I saw a video of Nataly Dawn of Pomplamoose a while ago.  I could not get past the green eyes until I saw the HAIR.

I knew it, Epiphany! Damn skippy. Ok, so I was wrong about that guy in the leopard print leotard with the boots. Once maybe twice.  Ok, a bunch but I knew it.
