I still have yet to amass my large amount of admittedly "partisan" evidence against abortion. The only real reason it is partisan is because Democrats have gone off the deep end as far as denying the right to life, a basic right from the Declaration of Independence, to anybody they decide is "unwanted"- to the disabled, to minorities, to the poor.

But an interesting side question was asked, and deserves an answer: What would those of us who believe abortion is murder and genocide replace it with?

The answer is and should be obvious, but apparently it is not: We'd replace it with intergenerational households and an absolute right to private property for everybody.

All rent should be converted to rent-to-own schemes designed to give the previous owner income until they die, after which the renter becomes the owner. All families should, in this way, eventually *OWN* their households. Multiple generations of families can live in a single household, working together to build generational wealth. Divorce should be eliminated, as should the anti-human contraception schemes that keep "the poor" under oppression right now.

In other words, when you eliminate the sexual revolution, what you have left is natural, cisgendered, heteronormative humanity.

THAT is what we'd replace it with, and anybody who would object, may be a progressive, but is an anti-humanist no different than any of the other genocidal regimes of the 20th century.

What used to be comedy science fiction very heavy on the comedy, continued the darkening of the end of Season 2 with a very important, very dark and serious episode about war-induced PTSD, racism, suicide, resurrection, and forgiveness.

Where I saw the 5th act (yes, Seth McFarlane took advantage of the Hulu deal to do what he said and make the entire show more cinematic and longer episodes) as kind of a tack on to the original story line (in that, the episode was complete an hour in, then suddenly, the engineer while having sex had a moment of inspiration and ran off in his bathrobe to "resurrect" the suicide victim using a "backup personality" found in Isaac's computerized brain- despite the central processing unit and memory being fried on purpose with a targeted electrical surge- now that's some prime technobabble worthy of the show's Star Trek heritage), I was glad for the sudden reversion to Christianity that some atheists like Seth have a tendency to do. Still, it took a very powerful morality tale, which was fine on its own from ANY standpoint, and turned it into a story line that seemed more at home on PureFlix than on Hulu (especially with the forgiveness offered by one PTSD sufferer, convincing another PTSD sufferer to help "save" the person who they both saw as an enemy due to race).

But maybe this belongs here more. When I ineptly referred to it on facebook, I got 72 hours in facebook jail.

Abortion and Guns are now likely to be the two things the major parties square off against each other in November. Both are pro-life issues. But I would say both are also *heterosexual marriage* issues.

It is male abandonment of our offspring that is the common cause of both socially alienated youth (a very small, but significant, portion of which will become violent and sometimes irrational criminals) and the perceived need by feminists for abortion.

NEITHER of the major political parties is currently willing to address this problem. Progressives aren't willing to address it because they think the patriarchal family is a tyrannical model for teaching morality, and they hate both tyranny and morality. Liberal Neocons aren't willing to address it because divorce is profitable- no-fault divorce doubly so. And of course, promoting heterosexuality flies in the face of what we're about to start, First Deadly Sin Month, in which heterosexuals will be vilified for not keeping up with the latest trends in sexual sin and worship of the Holy Orgasm.

Just the other day someone told me that he was a database programmer. So, i asked him which database. He said, "Access". I snickered (and remebered Brent Ozar's tweet on the subject).

A Canadian company, investing in Nevada real estate might be your next big chance to profit off of President Biden's Stupidity. Electric tanks and humvees will need an American supply of lithium. AWLIF is a penny stock (currently trading less than $1 a share) that has been quietly prospecting lithium in Nevada.

Is the idea of an electric powered tank rather ridiculous from an invading-foreign-nations-for-regime-change point of view (where the enemy already controls the electric grid)? Yes. But it isn't that much more ridiculous than all the other insanity the army has done over the years- and it will cause development of domestic supply chains in the United States.

As i turn 49, i felt the urge to post, because i always post on my birthday. Except i don't. Going through the list (link takes you through your own posts, as adding a username does not work), i found:

News: I'm thirty and related ramblings
Verbiage: So, 32 is here
Verbiage: Ding! I just hit 33.
Verbiage: 42 is here

Really? That's it? I'm such a lazy bum. But, i don't have to do it anyway. It's just something i value.

I always seem to remember the 30 post because my b-in-law commented that he liked the line, "I went from being a twenty-something to a thirty-nothing". In a sense, any time someone says a "line" is a good one, i'll think myself special for coming up with it. Heh. Half the time i don't even need anyone else to tell me, i guess i just forget about those "inspirations" more quickly.

As for "I, myself, seem to be about fourteen or fifteen, but wiser for the wear. If not for my experiences, I doubt I'd be much different." I cannnot say that anymore. Midlife changes you, and i am definitely different. But that feeling does persist to some extent anyway. It must be partially true.

In the 32 post, i didn't care so much. Same. Birthdays are just dates on the calendar, and perhaps a time to reflect. Not much more.

33: asks "Ah, to be forty, to be over the hill. Will it be then that i can finally enjoy life?" Heh.

42 just laments, and i feel the same now.

Regarding age, my thoughts are now about 50. I didn't really feel 40 until i was 43 or so. But i've felt 50 for a few years already. I'm not a young chicken, even if at time i wish i were like one. Age is just a number, but it's also an indicator of the journey.

I've been on slashdot for about 25 years now. Wow. I even got that 25 years on ebay email with a $25 coupon.

Assume a "Coruscant Earth"- an Earth where *all* potential space is used, both land and sea, for a combination of food production and living space. Use the Permaculture formula of one acre per person of absorbed sunlight, with 100% conversion to whatever mass/energy combination we need to create food and energy of one person to live.

Earth is about 510,000,000 km^2. There are 247 acres in a square kilometer. This yields (with much better technology than we currently have, of course) a maximum population of 125.97 billion people, each owning one acre.

Of course various contracts would increase efficiency and there'd be the normal range of capitalism creating rich and poor in the long run, but at least there'd be an agreed upon base lifestyle- even if it's only a kayak with a net anchored at sea or a tent on land.

Like walking down a familiar road, there may be a few new places here and there, but there's always the old standards

Odd experience looking at friends list, and remembering some of you and your personalities some 12 years after my last visit through these parts

Absolutely bonkers that I've been on this site since the late 90's

Probably hang a while, still looks like a decent news feed up front

As we are beginning to see divisions appear that are destructive to the Constitutional Representative Republic known as the United States of America, with Democrats finding new ways to cheat at democracy and the promotion of mob rule; combined with the massive increase in information technology we've seen over the past 40 years, I propose the following changes to governmental budget processes:

1. Break up the budget into line items

2. Forward those line items to taxing authorities at every level- city, county, state, and federal

3. Allow individual tax payers to fill out an extra-long-form return, with the caveat that by doing so you agree to allocate every penny of your taxes to something that makes a difference in your life or the lives of people you care about.

Doing so would reduce the incentive of the rich to cheat on their taxes (because by paying more taxes, they can regain some small amount of power to fund government programs directly) while enhancing even the common person's ability to influence government (truly voting with dollars for programs that help your family and your friends).

People who choose not to fill out the extra long form, have their taxes applied to the general fund which provides matching grants to those programs that either nobody else will fund (one FTE if your program attracted $0 this year, whose job it will be to promote the program next year; otherwise grants will be some percentage of dollars raised).

This spring, the Supreme Court of the United States, will once again be considering a case on USC 42 Title 42 Chapter 6A Subchapter XIX

Despite many changes to the law over the past century, the Biden Vaccine Mandate will be the first challenge to this law since Jacobson vs Massachusetts (1905), in which a State's Right to force vaccination upon a private individual or a group of individuals was established.

As the major Web 2.0 sites are now censoring discussion on this issue, I'm opening up for discussion- Did Congress intend this to become a power of the federal government?

We send our children to school to learn from people who have expertise in that
 
No we don't. We send our children to school *because we are required by law to do so and for the free babysitting*.

Experts, as a rule, are awful.

Take Ibram X Kendi, for instance. The Doctor of Anti-racism, or is he? I would argue that everything he has ever proposed as anti-racism, would produce *unequal results* along racial lines, and thus is racist *by his own definition*.

Just as the 1619 project, by the very nature of its generalized racial genetic stereotyping, produces *unequal results* along racial lines, and thus is racist by the very definition of the anti-racists.

Perhaps Thomas Sowell is right instead, and no two cultures were ever meant to be equal to begin with.

If you have disagreed with me on Critical Race Theory being a step backwards, if you don't believe we can do better than the segregation of anti-racism, then may I present to you Virginia's new post-racist Republican Government
