I know it's not politically correct to state it, but Stephen Hawking has never exhibited a particularly spectacular ability to think. It is spectacular only that he didn't let his CP stop him... but the brain power... sorry... not so much.
Climate change deniers.... The people screaming that carbon dioxide isn't a pollutant.... They INSIST this whole thing is a ploy by the space lizards to institute the NWO. They may be using it for those ends, but I wanna know how they can FAKE things like ocean acidification. My whole gig is:
STOP THE SPACE LIZARDS, BUT DON'T KILL THE PLANET.
We ARE killing the planet... whether or not it itself dies... whether life of some stripe makes it through. That we-can't-kill-the-planet stuff is DANGEROUS. Even if it's true, we are STILL killing it and that is EVIL.
It would be FINE if we were ONLY killing off humanity. We're killing thousands and thousands and thousands of other species. And that ain't THEIR tough luck! It's OUR tough karma.
Thousands and thousands of species came and went long before we got here and will continue to do so long after we're gone. Perhaps our karma will hasten our demise.
I'm thinking of your poor departed parents, who, love you though they certainly cannot have failed to do, must have wanted to strangle you even more frequently than most.... I'm thinking of you in second grade! OMG! It had to be a SAINT teaching that class!
I think you should listen to Unbound a couple hunnert thousand times, think of the trees, think of everything beautiful you ever saw, think of tribes a thousand years ago taking care of each other and the planet, think of true humantude, start aiming your intention in honor of those things.... I'm talking about a way to ignore the fuckers to death. We might not be able to take them down physically, people being this disinclined to budge from their caves, but we can help make them so irrelevant they can't do this shit anymore....
I remember my second grade teacher - Mrs Williams. She was black. She and her husband came to dinner at our house. Until I got much older I had no idea how rare that was back in 1956.
Oh, well, if she was black, THAT explains it! Back in those days black people had to be buddhas to make it to middle age. Your parents probably invited Mr. and Mrs. Williams out of abject gratitude that she didn't kill you!
Everyone knows drilling is heinous, SERIOUSLY dangerous and bad for the environment, but offshore drilling is outright genocidally despicable. If Obama sticks with his plutocrat appeasement "strategy", I think I'd rather have Palin in the White House. Then it could at least be a ditzy and venal stupid bitch instead of a dickless and venal half black guy. The blacks have suffered enough.
Hell, she probably has the balls to do something about the space lizards. I know she seems to be right on their wavelength, but once she got in office and found out they would kill her and her family, she very well might opt to kill them and theirs instead. I don't think we've considered the possibilities there enough.
Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable. —John F. Kennedy
The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they are ignorant, it's just that they know so much that isn't so. —Ronald Reagan
Some of us who have already begun to break the silence of the night have found that the calling to speak is often a vocation of agony, but we must speak. We must speak with all the humility that is appropriate to our limited vision, but we must speak. —Martin Luther King
We're all fucked. I'm fucked. You're fucked. The whole department is fucked. It's the biggest cock-up ever. We're all completely fucked. —not uttered by anyone in charge lately
Anyone calling Obama a leftist, liberal, or progressive needs to have the stupid beat out of them. —Old Uncle Dave
As for the Taliban ... their stated grievance is the same as Gen. Washington’s in our war with the British: If you want this war to end, get out of our country. —Pat Buchanan
Obama-era drone warfare ... in general looks like Bush-era drone warfare on steroids. —Scott Horton
There has to be altruism in the universe. —Frank Drake
The morons in Washington are pushing the envelope of nuclear war. The insane drive for American hegemony threatens life on earth. The American people, by accepting the lies and deceptions of “their” government, are facilitating this outcome. —Paul Craig Roberts
I am a child of the South. Janet Napolitano tells me I need to be afraid of people who are labeled white supremacists but I was raised around white supremacists. I am not afraid of white supremacists. I am concerned about my own government. The Patriot Act did not come from the white supremacists, it came from the White House and Congress. Citizens United did not come from white supremacists, it came from the Supreme Court. —Cynthia McKinney
No one has to "marry" anyone else politically; no one has to embrace every tenet or belief that an anti-imperialist ally might hold. You simply have to say: "All of us, regardless of our other views, believe this truth to be self-evident: dismantling the empire will bring immediate and enormous benefits to our nation and to the world." —Chris Floyd
The power of the people on top depends on the obedience of the people below. —Howard Zinn
...the government only starts listening to its voters once the more corrupt option turns out to be untenable. —Matt Taibbi
· One out of seven American homeowners will probably lose their homes by the end of 2010.
· Only 4.7 percent of distressed homeowners who enrolled in the modification plan have gotten any help.
· Out of Obama's $75 billion program, only $2.3 million has been spent—or 0.03 percent.
Obama's performance on the foreclosure crisis—along with unemployment, the biggest problem America faces—makes Bush's laissez faire approach to Hurricane Katrina look caring and loving in comparison. If ever there were a cause for impeachment, look no further. —Ted Rall
As self-appointed champions of civilisation against barbarism, they fail to see that a certain barbarism is the flipside of civilisation itself, inseparable from its smooth operation. For every cathedral, a pit of bones; for every artistic masterpiece, human wretchedness and back-breaking toil. —Terry Eagleton
Here at home and throughout the world people are fighting back against the forces of wealth, privilege, and militarism — some because they have no choice, others because they would choose no other course but the one that leads to peace and justice. —Michael Parenti
I've found that culture, however useful and important, is neither the foundation nor the ceiling of human experience, even if it is commonly used for walls. —Thomas Cleary
I really consider President and Mrs. Mubarak to be friends of my family. So I hope to see him often here in Egypt and in the United States. —Hillary Clinton

ReplyDeleteNot to worry. Future impact events are inevitable, as are eruptions of supervolcanoes. Come back in 50 million years. You won't recognize the place.

You know, it's pretty funny you mentioned this because I'd just downloaded:

from the Princeton Lectures site....
I'm going to start listening to it in a minute, and if they mention Mrs. Williams' 1956 second grade class debacle, you are so busted....
