Right. And wasn't Uranus, no longer an asshole, named after a black hole?

Um... martyrdom need not merit scientific basis, hence the immaculate conception and Star of Bethlehem (an astronomical event)

Fear of Missing Out = Bored, Lonely, Horny as a dog in heat.
Addicted to Social Media = Addicted to Porn
Lonely and depressed = Can't get laid on impulse

Sounds like the usual state of affairs. Facebook is fueled by boners and sex drives generated by the Large Hard-on Collider

That would account for the trending results. We reap what we sow. If we create disparity and social underclass then we'll live with it, as well. As usual, our self destructive struggle is a zero sum gain for society overall.. Oh the humanity.

We're only as well off as we treat each other, on this ship of fools.

Just because its not profitable and you can't find answers you expect when you want, it doesn't mean its a waste of time to the people most qualified to make that determination. It just means that human enterprise is currently driven by a system of values that affords us our current results. Perhaps that is why we have a world with 7 billion human beings and 1 billion jobs. It a crying shame that 6 billion qualified contributing members of humanity must just "move along" just because there is no money available to keep them working at Walmat. Since when did money become the prerequisite value of human existence and purpose? What a sad state of human accomplishment, after all. Bacteria seem wiser.

Urban Dictionary: vigintillion ~ www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=vigintillion
a very large number: 1000000000000000000000000000000000. used when wanting to sound smart.

LOL... also used when actually smart (IMO) but I thought that was funny result when I looked it up

Amen, Brother.... You've got that right.

They lie awake all night wondering if there really is a DOG!

Has it worked on any of his textbooks yet, or just on iambic pentameter?

To holster your equipment I recommend a jockstrap or brassiere.

So, we almost have it right.... We've got the capacity, but not the correct sociopaths.

You'll find RT on YouTube if you can't figure out where its hiding in your cable line up. In my market Comcast has it on two channels that are generically labeled "Leased Access" on all of the TV Listings. I've never seen anything listing channel RT on any published lineup. If you are flipping channels, RT will have a green logo and wire crawl. Its like CNN without commercials, but regular intervals of station ID breaks.

The Kaiser Report runs Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, but I still can't figure out what time, although it often repeats throughout the day. Their news has an ambivelant tone, and their agenda strike me as slightly libertarian with certain left and certain right leanings when it comes to social and political issues. In other words, they will not contradict the Putin anti-homosexual social stance, but are glad to elaborate on occupy wall street and the agony of austerity in Greece. In other words its a refreshing anti establishment voice, but in the end it is no less self serving than any other news organization that is subsidized in order to further a political agenda. Nevertheless, I'll take it rather than leave it, and I just LOVE to hear Max Keiser ( strangely an anagram of "I Seek Marx" ) mouth off on the impending economic Armageddon of the West. At the very least his view illustrates that no economic ideology is immune from the unethical behavior of greedy men. Greed and injustice is every bit as widespread in ANY system, institution, and political system. When you stop paying attention, or blindly think its an "us" and "them" then you may be deluding yourself of the facts. Thinking that your shit doesn't stink and that some people/cultures/nations are better than others, and more deserving of dominating others is a slippery slope. If instead, RT helps to bring us closer to the "Golden Rule" of "To each their own" and "Do unto others" then I think that its great! But we must diligently e x p a n d our perspective of this world and try not to be so quick at ethnocentric anachronistic hegemonic ideologies that are spoon fed to us like preachers to the choir in an echo chamber.

Simply put, its best to listen to unconventional views that challenge the status quo. Expand your horizons, and watch a little RT and Al Jazeera and Democracy Now, for a change... and if you already are, then turn on some Fox News and 60 minutes, now and then.

May the farce be with you.

We have a saying in the SF Bay Area:

Two wrongs don't make a right...

but three rights make a left
