Notes

21 things driving a wedge between Israel and the great nation of the USA. It is not just Obama. It is antisemitism from top to bottom. A lot of people hate jews. So much so, that they think of it as normal.

What you gonna do? Pootin don’t play. I don’t think he bluffs either. This is going to lead to a lot of dead people who were fighting for freedom.

All conflict relies on delusion. This is a particularly intense example. The only way to win at anything is to believe you can win and to be willing to do what it takes to win. Oh, and as it turns out to be willing to let someone loose. In fact, you have to insist on it.

Arms race in the Middle East. My only solace is that every one else saw this coming too. No country that has nuks has ever been successfully invaded, much less conquered. Think about it. if you have a nuke in your pocket and you start to lose, are you really going to just loose without lobbing the ace in the hole?

Because all the leaders think like lawyers. They forget that without police, lawyers wield little power. At some point the world (internationally speaking) lost the ability to spark fear in nations who just don’t care how they are portrayed in the press.

If thieves get it for free, I want it for free dammit. I get what Microsoft is doing. They want everyone to ge on Windows 10 because it is a service. At any point Microsoft can start charging and you either pay, or you don’t get the service. It is not free. It is like the drug dealer who says “The first one is free.”

let me guess, Google’s algorithm says mo money = yu URL. This is the problem with trusting a company with your data and online information. At any moment they (the company) might change their mind and completely fuck you.

Cowards. Australians are feeling the pinch of a government that wants to control their lives to the tiniest little bit. This is not freedom. This is oppression. Well, suck it up Aussies. You got the government you voted for.

Competition in spaaaaaaaace! We were just talking about this at lunch. The US government is freaking out saying they will withhold FCC approval until [whatever reason]. The companies are saying “That’ OK, we will install it for the rest of the world and the US can catch up when they get their shit together.”

Wow, horrible analogy, but apt. More on the big government data breach. This is the most painful problem with our government. This is the problem with having lawyers run everything. Lawyers think that making rules controls actions. It doesn’t. If no one gives a crap about your rules, they will do the actions as they damn well please.
