So now we have the mayor of Hoboken describing a conversation that the NJ official says did not happen.

So this is now interesting to the little people
 because someone is lying

Medicare Expansion - Lesson for Youth

Youth
  Stay Healthy!

Do they see the hoopla
  surrounding this

The only way that this system will work
  This system of "health insurance"
    in the U.S. that is a mess
      that is on par with the mortgage industry
        whose players found an optimal avenue for abuse
          and for getting financially comfortable
             a.k.a  "rich"

Thanks to the efforts of the free press
 shining lights on ridiculous hospital "pricing"
   and dermatology "practices" http://www.nytimes.com/2014/01/19/health/patients-costs-skyrocket-specialists-incomes-soar.html?ref=health&_r=0

   change is coming
     but without a doubt
       you who are "sick" now
         woe to you
      and you young
         get and stay
            healthy

Theoretical Sociological Modeling versus real world NSA practices

The executive branch understands and appreciates
   the scholarship
     behind the operations

They are like experiments

Testing theories
  providing insights

yet capable of being imperfect

The executive branch has to balance
  advancing free thought and science on the part of its' intelligence community
with it's protections mandates

It's a tough puzzle



     

On Being Big Brother

Any good programmer knows a sharp mind can in about 20 minutes come up with a world in which an agency can 

infiltrate providers

classify customers

classify gateways (residence, non residence, etc)

classify users

classify applications

establish links

classify patterns

identify threats.

The program, while formidable, is straightforward. It's conceivable that every time a connection is made, big brother twinkles and categorizes the threat of the actions.

Paul Ryan Couldn't Be More Wrong

I heard him on the radio
and I wrote it down
he said

"...our rights come from nature & God, not from government..."

which is exactly the opposite of reality
without a meaningful government guarantee
"rights" are useless
just a verbal construct

The Chinese have rights
as do the North Koreans
Africans and Syrians have rights, too, for sure
They are token rights
they mean nothing
they don't help against the gunmen and machete wielders

What's troubling about Ryan's statement
is the implicit meaning behind it
These rights, that I support, are holy, the authority behind them is magical, but I have said it is so, and so it is...

What Comedians Don't Talk About

Driving
   the other day I'm on a two lane  behind a guy waiting to make a left...
   yeah that would be a riot

Laugh Tracks

[what would you call it] The network identifier; omnipresent, translucent, innocuous icon that started  appearing on the T.V. screen on the lower right in I forget what year . There was a never a beep (that I saw) about that



Bacterial colonies

Ponder bacteria
a population has function
intended or otherwise
as part of a structure

members don't survive
they're functional
and then they retire

much like Americans
sickened up with feed
then slaughtered
an industrial process
from cradle to crave
that none escape
