Gay Rights and memetic irritants

Everytime I post something about my take on the little controversies going on, it creates a spin off that I didn't intend. This usually leads to more discussion and expansion of the topics involved.

Then I end up deleting the original posts because it's hard for me to actually communicate my ideas on this thing (apparently!).

How do you create a pearl?

And on that note, these are two interesting posts:

communistication breakdown,
it's always the same (or different)
heaving the neural brake down
drives me in Sane.

it's always something
or maybe it's alternatingly not exactly
you're not watery enough
because you're frayed
afraid of their myths
they got you

I'll slide you out from under
Destroy your construct and make you
Dance! Partner
Then the enemy will fall, with nothing to enemize
no violence to economize

Think of how palestine could be one.
How the east was won.
Let go and let the world embrace you.
If you don't, I'll make you.
It's not a contradiction
my silly statist fantasists
I'm not saying you're fantascists...
Just that the ant's getting in the way

The best defense is a good defense. Get it?

Right, Parsifal?

one step closer...

"Virgin Group has contracted Rutan's company Scaled Composites to design and build the passenger spaceship and its mothership. Virgin Galactic will own and operate at least five spaceships and two motherships.

The passenger flights, which could begin in 2009, will take off from a $225m (£127m) facility called Spaceport America in the New Mexico desert. " (emphasis mine)

Creation Challenge

The first five people to respond to this post, will get some form of art, by me, about them. I make no guarantees about quality or type, but I will assure that I will give it good effort.

The only catch, of course; as with most memes, if you sign up, you have to put this in your own journal as well (and actually follow through!).

no catch.

Normalization of Power Imbalance

I actually was thinking about the big political red herring of "Gay Marriage" (that is to say, it is a trick issue used to polarize people) and one of the things that really was fuzzy about the whole thing became really clear to me.( Read more... )

You see, the equilibrium equilibriates everywhere.

That's the secret occult power behind economics that the public choice school has only begun to explore, the secret joke that Pareto understood but refused to make explicit (he expected you to get it, to read between his lines... sociology is really economics taken to the next level... but only when it is. what we call "sociology" these days bears as much resemblance as what "medicine" in the ancient world bore to what we have come to expect...)
