Government bodies do make mistakes. The LA City Council has instituted a city-wide ban on plastic bags beginning at some indefinite date. Let me tell you plastic bags are a lot easier to tote than paper bags for, for instance, old ladies, who may lack the muscle power to carry paper bags properly. Plastic bags can of course be reused as trash bags. And they point out that plastic bags are recycleable. I imagine plastic bags are a lot easier to store before given out. They remarked that the science used in their ruling is "junk science' and I would claim it's politically motivated by those with an agenda. And then they want to charges us per bag, which is also really silly. We have enough problems in this life without the P C crowd spending one more minute dreaming up ways to make our lives even harder.
Record reviews traditionally suck. I notice that Wickipedia says Mind Games was "John Lennon's worst album to date". But I have found that the more they carry on about how BAD an album it is, the better it turns out to be. Some albums they have given a really bad review are "Duty Now for the Future" by Devo, "Muscle of Love" by AC, "Passion Play" by JT, "Diary of a Mad Man" by Ozzy, and "Barron Vot Tollboth and the Chrome Nun". I admit I have never even heard this last one except for one good song from it that made it on to "Flight Log". It's a tribute to Lennon that he was still doing political songs as late as 1973 because normally about 1972 was about the last year political songs were popular. There is a huge shift in the lyrics of songs between 1971 and 1973 that is almost staggering, if you look at it objectively. I think in this case being "retro" is a good thing. "Meat City" apparently has the line "Fuck A Pig" backward masked. Of course "Empty Spaces" gets more explicit telling the listener "Congradulations. You'd discovered the secret message". Well one thing is my cosmic sources tell me the album was recorded about six months earlier Wickipedia says it was. But I can't prove that.
It's rather silly of Mittens Romney to talk about how "President Obama was into community organizing and politics, while I was into business". We already told you that people like Rick Perry and Newt Gingrich don't call what Romney did as "Venture Capital". Indeed- - people have admitted that "we are all stupid if we think Bane capital was in the business of saving jobs. Bane capitol was in the business of making money for Bane capital." But I'd like to now pose the question of what the Hell is wrong with either community organizing or - - - government service. Don't call it politics; the more proper term for it is government service. Though I would admit that "Politics" rather than Serving in the affairs of the national opperation - - is what tea party candidates have in mind. Just remember that Jesus was a community organizer. This is a noble profession. People who get into office and "serve" a few years and then get out somehow ten times richer than when they came in and then go on into private business because they've become so tainted they're now unelectable - - - are not the sort of people I'd call a "statesman" anyhow. They love term limits because this only makes it Easier for Lobbyists to opporate because the people they have to face are less experianced in dealing with their particular machinations. Besides, it's not even true. Mitt Romney DID seek to get into politics. He pursued it. He tried to pass himself "just as progressive as Ted Kennedy" in his losing contest for the senate in 1994. Then he got out of government in 1996 because he sought to run for president and he's now been doing nothing but running for President for six years already! Someone should really put this guy in his place and shut this guy up for good.
Memorial Day weekend is coming up. On this approximate date in 1967, Wednesday May 24th. relations between me and Kathy Imperiali really took off. I was a junior and she was a sophomore. It was the following Monday the radio was awash in songs from Sgt. Pepper then being released. It was that evening as you know I did my forty year projection into the future. The majority of it of obviously wrong but notibly I do say that there was a democrat who had served for eight years whose term expired in 1996 and apparently we had done away with the 22nd amendment and he wanted to run again but now had become unpopular. In this scenario- - I described one of the republican candidates as "an attractive woman with dark hair". But she didn't get the nomination, so in the year 2000 she decided to run with her husband at the top of the ticket. She was the more dominent personality and the one most popular with the people. He was a bit of a dullard. They got reelected in 2004 and that's as late as I projected. But in retrospect I happened to think of Bob and Elizabeth Dole, although neither of those were ever elected President. Tuesday was Memorial Day and a Holiday in those days. I remember it was overcast. (big surprise!) There were more Sgt. Pepper songs and there was a new Jefferson Airplane song out that day called "White Rabbit". Since it was Memorial Day the Indy 500 was run and A J Foyt won the race after Andy Granitelli's turbine engine conked out at the last minute or something. For a long time I thought STP stood for standard temperature and pressure, because that's what it meant in Chemistry class rather than "Scientifically Treated Petrolium" which I learned much later.
Some of you have problems with "concave space". You ask "So is there gravity or anti-gravity or what?" It's been pointed out that if you were indeed in a world of universal repulsion then the more material you tried to gather together the stronger of a repellant effect you would feel. The only way to escape this universal repulsion is to have the objects further apart. You could not have solid matter or liquid matter for that fact, but any sort of molecular attraction wouldn't happen. Some may theorize that it's only the LIGHT that behaves in this repelling manner and not physical matter. Our whole thesis for this theory is that NOTHING ELSE CHANGES except the space. All other observed perceptual changes are because you see it now through and in different Space. This "imposes a problem" to quote a Whitmark Dylan blooper. So how do you gather all of that repelling matter into one space. It's held together because laws of THIS circular space HOLDS it together. I admit I have not formulated a solution but my brain is working on it and when I do you'll be the first people to know.
