Issue 684 You're allowed to insult people September 23, 2015

Ok, you are wondering probably how I can say you are allowed to insult people.  That it hurts others.  That the recipient receives emotional pain.  People may consider your statements racist.  Um, you are forgetting the first amendment and its responsibilities.

Insult away:  People need to stop worrying about insulting people.  They need to stop worrying about being politically correct.  But a college in New Hampshire made a list of banned words to fit the politically correct themes they believe in.  As such the word "rich" are people of wealth.  Senior is people of age.  But all this violates free speech.  Senior and rich are innocent words that are a describer, they are not designed to be hateful in the least.  However, our notions of sensibilities has changed to say that they are insulting.  I say they are not.  It is not calling a black person the "N" word, or a Spanish person the "S" word. These words like senior, rich or poor are not designed to be derogatory.  Even then, you're calling someone an idiot or a moron for doing something dumb is ok.  Saying your friend is a dummy and him calling you an ass as per your regular greeting to each other is insulting, but it's ok.  Insulting someone you do not know who happens to be six feet tall, bulging muscles and a face only a mother can love is also ok, though you suffer the consequences of being punched in the face.  Speech already has consequences socially, yet laws and codes of conduct try to ban them.  Last I checked, no law can restrict speech as per the first Amendment.  And if you do not like what is being said, you are under no obligation to listen as per your first amendment rights.

Conclusion:  If we follow this trend, every word used as a describer can potentially insult someone.  But insults are not something that we should concern ourselves with.  It is simple speech which has its meanings change only when we the people change those meanings.  So if you stop changing the meaning of senior, poor, low income, and the like and instead set a specific definition to describe people under specific or varied circumstances, then they are not insults, they become just words.  It does not stop the prideful from being hurt by a descriptor they do not like, but it is up to them to take it that way, not yours.  You should not be afraid to speak, yet changing meanings and claiming that a word can demean someone so much is just silly. If you think it is insulting, then do not say it, but do not force it on others.  People are already responsible for what they say due to social consequences.  What need do you have to punish someone who is already admonished publicly for saying something stupid in the first place (if what they said is dumb to begin with). You can speak freely.  Resist political correctness as your freedom of speech says you can.

Issue 683 Illegals and Businesses September 22, 2015

Apparently illegal immigrants put pressure on businesses.  What is that about?

Illegals and their pressure: Immigrants are unskilled labor.  We know this due to their lack of vocational training for most jobs, and their economic status in their home country.  As such they compete with our own unskilled and low skilled labor pool.  This means that these immigrants are cheaper to hire as their skills necessitate lower pay.  Additionally, they do not pay into Social Security (unless they have a fake number), and they do not pay taxes (unless they have been registered as an illegal that can stay for whatever reason).  As such, government also places pressure on businesses to care for immigrants and register them as illegals so that they receive tax breaks and thus channel money from the federal government into the State and local governments.  So our own low skilled population cannot get a job because they could and would be paid a higher wage than an illegal.  If you include the issue of competition and trying to get ahead business wise, this becomes a recipe for disaster for American workers.

Conclusion:  Immigration is a big deal.  Illegals coming over the border are actually taking jobs that would otherwise be filled by lower skilled members of the American citizenry.  As such, the illegals coming across the border must be halted.  Then a policy put in place to deal with current illegals in the United States.  But many of our laws already do this, but are not followed due to lack of enforcement.  So is there anything that can be done?  At this moment, I do not think there is as the Latin American community is a voting block and most politicians and the President do not want to risk losing their vote.

Issue 682 Iran and Nukes September 21, 2015

The Iran nuke deal that is being pushed by the current administration is in my opinion a bad idea.  Here is why.

Why it is a bad idea:  The goal of the deal is to make sure that Iran does not produce nuclear weapons to attack its neighbors like Israel or its Sunni Muslim neighbors like Saudi Arabia.  But like most deal with this nation in the past, the deal is an effort to stall for time.  Iran under the Ayatollahs has a history of taking advantage of the United States and is set to get money out of this deal as well as technological knowledge to their benefit.  In the mean time they can comply very easily with the deal for they never needed to refine the nuclear material themselves, as they can buy already refined or partially refined material, or use other forms of material that can be used to make the bomb.

Additionally, the current President of Iran is not the man he appears to be.  Presidents in Iran are selected by the Ayatollahs for being acceptable religiously, and in this case for wanting Israel dead.  Yes that is right, a radical Muslim cleric, the one with the real power in Iran, chose the current president of Iran to be 1 of 6 potential presidents.  The current Iranian leader is a former member of their security council, which is responsible for designing plans to remove Israel off the map, countering U.S. forces and strengthening Iran's control of the region.  Iran's current President is not a man of peace.  He is a man chosen for his appeal to western policy makers to fool them into lowering their guard.

Conclusion:  This deal is not going to work.  Iran is run by radical Muslims from the Iranian revolution.  This theocracy wants all non-Shiite Muslims dead.  What should be done is the continuing of pressure via sanctions until the nuclear facilities are dismantled and replaced.  Also, the only technology Iran should get is nuclear teach that cannot result in a bomb, and they should not get any money from the United States.  Simple, clean cut, effective.  Not some pandering policy which is hoping that Iran is sincere.

Issue 681 Eugenics: Supports racism September 18, 2015

Again we shall talk about eugenics to finish up the week.  In this case, I will discuss with you my readers on how this fake science supported racism.  Let us begin.

Racial support:  When eugenics was being implemented it used the ideas of Karl Marx that one race was superior to another.  Marx advocated that blacks and Hispanics were lesser peoples and eugenics which was born from progressivism which is the descendant of Marxism sought to prove that and then some.  It went so far that head measurements with the size of the cranial cavity were used to define intelligence.  This further extended to other groups as well such as gays, and Jews as seen in Nazi Germany with respect to their extermination policies which were using eugenics as their basis.  But, before all that, there was George Bernard Shaw and Margaret Sanger.  Shaw was a Fabian Socialist who believed in these principles of one race or even sets of people being above another.  It was his idea first for the gas chambers to cleanse undesirables which Hitler used.  Margaret Sanger on the other hand did not invent Planned Parenthood out of the idea of women's reproductive rights, but instead to cleanse the undesirables.  When she established her clinics they were almost all in black communities, and she tried to enlist black preachers into convincing their congregations into getting abortions.  In short voluntary genocide.  This racism of the idea of one group was superior to another played into Americans fears and woes with respect to anti-immigration groups, KKK and later neo-Nazi groups, and the disrespect for people of skin colors other than white for years.  As you can see, the damage done continues to this day with the continued existence of groups like the KKK.  This evil spread to Islam and fit in with ancient anger against Jews in the middle east (Islamic governments during WWII supported Hitler and his final extermination ideas).  It was even deeply rooted in the Cuban revolution where Chee, and Castro believed that blacks were nothing but degenerates.  We even have selective abortions based on if the child has a disability or their sex, again based on eugenics principles where women were inferior to men and needed the backing of this fake science to perpetuate this lie.

Conclusion:  Wherever there is racism, and science supporting it, wherever selective breeding of humanity is, eugenics has played a role.  Even assisted suicide and ideas of euthanizing the elderly potentially are partially influenced by eugenics legacy.  Now even population control groups are reviving ideas from the eugenics movement in the form of euthanasia and forced sterilization.  This legacy can be quashed in time, but it is going to take a lot of time to do so.

Issue 680 Eugenics: Superhumans September 17, 2015

Eugenics, if you read yesterday's issue is a really bad idea.  It sought to cleanse the unfit from society to strengthen the human race.  But some would seek to go a step further.

Supermen:  The eugenics principles advocates that races or peoples were superior to other races or peoples and would breed forth the idea that a race of supermen could be developed.  As such, Hitler used this science to put forth that by Aryans breeding with other Aryans would not only purify the "race" but create superior men and even soldiers.  This would later spawn the idea of selective breeding by scientists to create superior breeds, but in this case with dogs.  In other words selective breeding to bring about certain traits in animals and even in plants is a result of the eugenics movement.  It can even be argued that genetic manipulation and the study of animal traits to bring forth superior food that can grow in harsh climates, and animals that can perform specific tasks come from a basis in eugenics.  In fact, while this fake science would be used as an excuse to cause mass murder in Europe during WWII, it would pave the way for new types of food stock that would aid in solving issues of world hunger.  This selective breeding and manipulation can potentially create supermen, such as superior athletes that do not need steroids to enhance muscles, or perfect bodies for a particular sport.  This genetic alteration idea comes from sciences while perhaps based on the same ideas of eugenics are not eugenics.

Conclusion: Eugenics is evil, but the evil that bore it resulted in a few good things such as better food crops to aid in fighting world hunger.  Its selective breeding idea and now with the addition of genetic manipulation can mean a lot for the world.  Genetically modified crops can survive drought, dog breeds specifically designed to find lost victims on mountains or sniff out bombs, even breeding a domesticated shark is another potential here.  I will not praise eugenics (as you will see in tomorrow's issue), but what we took out of it that was potentially good was for the betterment of mankind.

Issue 679 Eugenics:Death Panels September 16, 2015

Eugenics is a pseudoscience.  It is based on cleansing the population of those seen as undesirables, while strengthening the human race.  Today I am going to go over why this fake science should never be followed.

What is Eugenics:  Eugenics came out of the progressive socialist movements of the late 19th and early 20th century.  It was based on the Marxist ideals that spawned progressivism were some races and peoples were genetically superior and thus meant to rule over them.  But in the 1930s, this pseudoscience in the United States would be taken to its most logical "peaceful" solution.  In the historical background of the book "Unbroken" it gives a nice little list of those who were targeted by this evil fake science.  Those the fake science sought to cleanse were: The feebleminded, insane, criminals, women who had sex out of wedlock (considered a mental illness at the time), orphans, the disabled, the poor, the homeless, epileptics, masturbators, the blind, the deaf, alcoholics, and girls whose genitals exceeded certain measurements.   As to how they would cleanse these groups, the methods varied, but euthanasia was encouraged, and in mental hospitals euthanasia was carried out on patients, or they were killed through lethal neglect or even outright murder.  Some patients at an Illinois hospital were dosed with milk from cows infected by tuberculosis, with the belief that the undesirables would perish (4 in 10 of these patients would die) (Unbroken page 11).  Forced sterilization was also popular by State governments with some 20,000 being sterilized by the State of California alone.

Conclusion:  As you can see, eugenics is a bad science that seeks to kill or remove thousands from the gene pool to gain a superior human race.  Thankfully, this fake "science" has become seen as backwards, but its legacy is still here.

Issue 678 Stateless Businesses September 15, 2015

Globalization has altered how businesses work.  In short, any business is in fact a national business if they ship around the globe.  As such, should we start thinking differently about businesses themselves?

Stateless Businesses:  Our concept of American Businesses, French Businesses, Chinese Businesses, comes from the age old concepts of territorial boundaries.  Basically, the business exists in a country and nowhere else unless they open up a headquarters in another country. But now that is unnecessary as the headquarters can exist in a singular country, a cruise ship, or even a person's laptop and still do business all over the world. This can be done thanks to the technology from the internet.  As such, businesses do not need countries to operate out of anymore.  This could potentially lead to businesses divesting themselves of national borders to escape taxation.  So a business can literally pick up and move to a tax haven if they so choose with little effort.  Even brick and mortar businesses can ditch the brick and mortar and operate on a network of computers throughout the world with employees seeing each other via video phones.  Deals can be made remotely and even discreetly without government knowledge.  These businesses also become almost impossible to tax as they exist as nothing more than a series of individuals.  All regulations that a normal business might follow become useless as the business exists out of islands in the Pacific, tax havens in Holland, or in the homes of individual people.  There may even be no employees to pay, and if there are people are strictly paid for quality of work.  Basically, these businesses are nearly impossible to track, tax and regulate. In short, businesses become like phantoms, existing as another entity that is above State control.  And you know what?  It is a very good thing.

Conclusion:  I wanted to give you my readers an idea into the potential of what a globalized business in the future will look like due to technological progression.  There is no need for any physical structure for the entire buying and selling structure is on the internet.  A single individual can present items on a cheap website, and when you click to buy, you are charged a traditional rate, but the business owner has no factory or warehouse, instead they have the actual factory in another business that produces your item deliver it directly to you while you are simply charged a little extra because you had to pay a middleman.  Alternatively, a factory can skip on using a middleman and ship to you directly without using other websites.  There is a large number of possibilities here as a single business can exist almost anywhere in the cheapest taxed country in the world.   No more patronage by government needed, no more need to follow most regulations.  It becomes a near free market paradise.  All that is left is to see how each business, and each entrepreneur develops in this new globalized market where taxes, and regulations on the workplace (excluding safety if you have a factory) cease to be of use.
