WASN'T SURE IF IT WENT THROUGH, NOT HAVING NOTICED THE MODERATION TAG, SO I SAVED A COPY AND MY SPELL-CHECKER WENT CRAZY, WHICH DIDN'T WORK IN YOUR COMMENT BOX LIKE IT USUALLY DOES ON BLOGS.]<BR/><BR/>Slow down to speed up. I mean: (1) Again re-organize your own personal blogosphere into a Reader's Digest format (I know not how except to publish one or more BOOKS), and (2) get perma–linked by as many other popular (semi-libertarian) blogs as possible, such as NiceDoggie.net and Jonah's blog etc.<BR/><BR/>You added comments! So I am commenting. Actually, you have answered every one of a dozen e-mails I've sent in the last few years, at least with a "cheers" that indicated you actually read them. Alas, your comments do not allow me to comment on specific items, just the whole flurry of entries? I usually don't have time to get to the bottom of your day's page (or weeks' worth, however it's organized until it turns into archive links only).<BR/><BR/>Your end-piece about your credentials and history is hodgepodge, by which I mean, besides on my browser being double-spaced between paragraphs, has not been edited into a block-essay format, nor is it obvious that it is an epilogue instead of a continuation of a blog, and so it suddenly hit me as the harsh and disorganized rant of a drunken sailor making his way home, screaming about the Party in Power. This would, I imagine, if I was new to your blog, which I am not, lessen the effectiveness of your message, a message that was once shocking to one like me who didn't exactly switch from liberal to conservative as much as had 9/11 be a wake-up call to finally "figure out politics" for which previously I had not only no interest in, but a lifelong aversion to.<BR/><BR/>Having a Ph.D. in chemistry from Columbia (followed by 3 years at Harvard in Boston, which finally turned me into a real "New Yorker" for life), it was when I finally looked into "Global Warming" and found it to be utterly junk science...that was my "too late to turn back from expulsion from Paradise" moment, when I awfully realized that whole passive-aggressive subcultures existed, ones that wanted to, like individuals with narcissistic (parasitic) personality disorders, lure entire countries into their fold, just like happens in office politics or marriages, in which a Honeymoon phase hooks you, but then their sadistic back-stabbing claws jut out, after you have invested your life in them, and yet you keep forgiving them again and again until it becomes too obvious for them to hide, so you discipline them, so they scatter their efforts, by which I mean randomize them, and it becomes death by a thousand cuts, each individual pinprick being like a single mosquito bite on a camping trip, but dozens of stings and your are diving into water to escape ticks and dear flies too, but I digress, if not confess, to once having been as big a dupe as Bill of Capitol Hillary.<BR/><BR/>I do not yet accept your logically deductive yet unreferenced and thus unempirical axiom that Leftistm is hatred of success, merely due to the fact that celebrities latch onto it so often. I say this due to the bitter experience of trying to find events in NYC full of young creative types, who, say, have tried LSD in college, and who have read Nietzsche and Cellini, or at least dabbled in Joyce by choice. But I find that the envious Liberals are mainly the gold-digger wives of non-celebrity business and money men who are too busy to even have political opinions, combined with huge numbers of “gatherings” run by living fossil hippies, the room being full of young “art student” types who spout conspiracy theories as a form of mating ritual which I fail to dance to, so they suddenly see me as a dreaded non-dreadlocked Republikan. I do run a home business, if that counts as being a Capitalist.<BR/><BR/>They don’t even think, as I hand them my design products postcard, that I pay more than their minimum wage college drop-out jobs do. They just red-eyed ask me to hold their huge quartz crystal (whose 3D molecular structure I as a formerly fanatically ambitious chemist can still write out on paper) and wish happy thoughts, which I don’t mind, but mostly they just smile, and discard my card in the corner with an affected gesture (!), as soon as I’m no longer holding eye-contact but they know I will see happen. This experience has become about as fun and predictable as watching the second-hand tick on my watch, and holding it up to my ear to see if I can hear it, and then check if the second-hand really lines up with the second marks on the dial, which it more or less does, as in the error bars would be pretty tight if you graphed it.<BR/><BR/>Yet first California, and now the whole USA is *outlawing* my main “retro” product that uses exposed filament Edisonian light bulbs for it’s entire ahead-of-its-time “steampunk” aesthetic effect. My business is outlawed, come 2012 (the end of the Mayan calander, which you must accept as also the end of the world as we know it or you wont get laid at the local rave).<BR/><BR/>My advice to you feels condescending, making me feel uncivil, but it's also midnight plus an hour in Manhattan so I'll just fire it off here, fueled by a little and now more beer.<BR/><BR/>In a way what you are doing is yanking open-minded yet "caring" people out of their cocoon, exposing the world as being corrupt, utterly, in not only one but at least three areas in which most people (like I used to) think were true instead of Kangaroo Poo: Environmentalism (science itself!!!), Atheists (liberals/Democrats), and twentieth century psychology.<BR/><BR/>My point is that it really is like realizing your husband or wife of ten years has a Machiavellian cold heart, then in the next gasp of air, you realize she's been slowly poisoning you with Arsenic supplied by her lesbian boss, who she is sleeping with, and then you feel an itch and your doctor makes you fill out a lot of forms, or at least you start to wonder if your liver already harbors time bomb Hepatitis Zyklon Z.<BR/><BR/>That's the type of barrier you face in getting your point across. It's not just "liberals" who might recoil from your site(s), but non-activist dabblers as well, who will give a dollar to a polite bum ("homeless person") yet change between moving subway cars to flee the body odor of a passed-out homeless drunk who just soiled his pants, because the fifth person that afternoon gave him the final dollar he needed for a fifth (of vodka), and basically he’s just some THING to flee from.<BR/><BR/>That impression hit me today, in some way, that you in fact only go half way, unlike “talk radio” shock jocks, or like a shy guy politely saying hi to a girl half his age, who doesn’t know he’s worth ten million dollars, since he works so hard, so she will stay stuck with her living-on-credit boyfriend who is merely 10 years older than her.<BR/><BR/>You are stating hard facts to people who have not obtained their opinions from study of evidence, so I declare Learn from Liberals Day: wrap your facts in the one fatty bacon emotion that is left besides shame: a sense of outraged injustice, worded emotionally, mockingly. I guess the reason I’m using your comments session for an obvious self-analysis session is that I’m wondering what Religion do you have to replace Puritanism or Fascism with? In my mind, you start with the Big Bang, and create new myths from it, meaning new nursery rhymes that draw people AWAY from “politics” and activism. Activist politics is a trap, on either side of the X does not equal Y equation, for it draws people into The State instead of into a state of self-actualization in the Old World sense.<BR/><BR/>If you wrote a 125 page book or three, then I could add one or two to the small stack of books I give my employees which include 'The Painted Word' by Tom Wolfe, Ayn Rand's 'Anthem', and a couple I hesitate to mention about male vs. female psychology, penned by applied instead of academic psychologists, by which I mean pimps and the last book by a 60s psychoactive drug enthusiast who was kicked out of Harvard, a book in which he actually distances himself from 60s activism and pressure on him to become a guru, a book in which he reclaims his scientific roots, and shame on you too for claiming academic credentials, even infiltration of street activist hate groups, yet who wont even discuss BRAIN CHEMISTRY ALTERATION from the right side of the fence.<BR/><BR/>Finally, I live on the “Upper West Side” and am here to honestly tell, that especially nubile females really like outspoken free thinkers, *and* that the Boomer liberals that you other islander’s and especially mainlanders claim DEFINE this area, well, they COWER at the very hint of a free thinker being in the same room with them. They are not controlling this area, they are hiding within it, defenseless. They tip poorly too, so every ethnic cafe between 72nd St. and 121st St. bring us libertarians free wine, to keep us coming back. It’s also a myth that NYC is open till 5AM. Same as everywhere I’ve ever been except Amsterdam: 1AM, then 4AM but you have to know where to go since it ain’t within walking distance.<BR/><BR/>I notice you have Reagan’s image as your current masthead. Guess what?! Even on the Upper West Side of NYC, those same “money men” whose wives chit chat away with their thousand dollar baby strollers tucked under their table (since they have not discovered how to operate the baby-chair function without knocking into me at the next table), if you mention “supply side” even across a room, their pussy-whipped facade falls away and they start ordering beers by the pint (large capped bottle).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4138458.post-62617551726784769492008-01-28T07:58:00.000+13:002008-01-28T07:58:00.000+13:00As you most correctly point out, Nazism is indeed ...As you most correctly point out, Nazism is indeed a leftist phenomenon. Note that Marx, Lenin, and Stalin all were anti-Semites. Jews were referred to as "Rats" in Venona code. Nazism and Communism have a great deal in common; anti-Semitism is only one example. Hitler's attitude on eugenics closely matched Soviet era thought. Read "The Venona Secrets" and "Blacklisted by History" for the many parallels long denied by leftist invention. Stalinist propaganda was very effective and somewhat dominated Western media prior to 1950; today it continues, only slightly squelched.Layer Sevenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06957915588014779943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4138458.post-47284778184322297782008-01-28T02:48:00.000+13:002008-01-28T02:48:00.000+13:00"... 3.5 gallon toilet."

I recently learned about the Sloan Flushmate toilet, which harnesses the water pressure in the pipes to give the waste an extra boost on its way down the drain. In this way, it can use less water to flush without impairing the flushing action. I found to my surprise that these toilets, up to now unknown to me, were installed in a house which I bought recently.davidhamiltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09298960390582070502noreply@blogger.com
