Interesting and of course disturbing world grain production chart.

If we look at this and as well world population growth charts just where do
we fit in the proposal for diverting grains for ethanol or biofuel?
Switch grass... yes.
Maybe cane sugar can be justified to make ethanol but diverting
corn/beans/grains into fuel will be short term how much the profits maybe
for ADM.

The Oil Drum | The Four Day Work Week: Sixteen Reasons Why This Might Be an Idea Whose Time Has Come

http://www.theoildrum.com/node/2996
The author lists lots of good reasons to go to the four day week and we
already know allot of them.
But then the 10 hour day is again what we end up with.
And people will sometimes accept the 10 hour day for awhile and then it
wears them down.
Also this proposal is about less hours as well as less days of travel to and
from work.

In my opinion a few things will have to change before this can be taken
seriously.
The price of gas will have to increase to $5.00 gallon or maybe even more as
initially it will just be more car pooling and alternatives such as scooters
and bikes as gas price goes up. It won't in itself change the work hours.

And our collective perspective on climate change will also have to change.
People will readily accept the reality of a refined fuel shortage but not
the reality of climate change or even the broader oil issue ...peak oil and
it's direct effects.

We might say: oh my, another severe hurricane, another drought, another
boiling summer or severe winter. Or, yes the glaciers are reported to be
melting. oops it seems they are now gone!
But those are still weather reports unless our own roof blows off and then
we become a believer.
We are not their yet by a long way. And the government aswell as the
American media do not intend to warn us as they have no answers to propose.

As to employers this can be a plus for them in some ways and which have
described many times. But generally the longer they have us at the job site
for the least amount of cost the better they like it.
We are selling our labor and the employer is not our friends as well.

Bush: Kids' Health Care Will Get Vetoed - washingtonpost.com

you gotta love Saturday morning news stories.
It's like blowing the boilers as the real dregs comes out on Saturday.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/09/22/AR2007092200508.html?hpid=moreheadlines
This the story of how our glories noble and dear leader is saving these
children from wretched lives.
Because he knows these gutter snips, feeder fish and ghetto trash(read:
niggers*) could only grow up to be drug crazed alkies before they we on to
became criminals and terrorist.

* As Cheney was over heard saying on one of his 'buttered rum' hunting trips
to another good ole boy.
"They can call themselves what ever they want but niggers they are and
niggers they be."

Cheney had a perfect voting record while he was in Congress as he voted
against all health programs for the general public as well as any increases
for veterans. And why not he was never in the military himself.

Wheels of Change

My dog is a Kelpie and when called: Metta! very promptly responds... unless she is doing a variety of other things.
She is featured in the October, issue of: The Bark...
The Bark is the quality dog magazine ...and what dog doesnt deserve the best?
That's Metta, aka: Kindness.... sitting in her Bajaj Autorickshaw on page 64. And "Wheels of Change" is definitely the appropriate title for the article. Change is what we all seriously need to consider if we want to continue to be part of this round ride.

Metta wanted to make a statement about the environment and enjoy a classy and somewhat exotic ride aswell.
And i think we can agree with her.... saving the world for the dogs would defiantly be a kindness.
And the payoff for us. As we all know dog are perpetually forgivining so i would expect they would let us continue to tag along on the other end of the lead.

Three wheel motor bikes and small electric vehicles where also considered. But in the end we both felt the dogs of India have the best ride for the least Ruby's. And the Rick is certified to be good to the air and Metta thinks it's fun.
And of course she loves the attention! What dog wouldn't?

If you aren't a subscriber to: The Bark and don't see it at the news stand they also put some of the articles on their web site: www.thebark.com by about now.

And if you want more info on Bajaj 'three wheelers' it's: www.bajajusa.com
I bought mine from the dealer in Napa, California.... who has also given me very good follow up service. www.bigkidtoys.com ..

321energy :: Corn Ethanol & its Unintended Consequences for California :: Juliette Anthony

New products but same old energy scams.
The originating site for this article is also very informative.
This article gives some details as to water requirements for these wonder fuels they are telling us will change the transportation energy sources.
Water sources and water demand is what it will eventually get down too regarding crops for fuel or food.
And who actually calls the shots on all water issues is and area to be closely scrutinized.
If you have seen the movie: Who killed the electric car, it is evident as to how state resource boards can actually be controlled.
Also it was again recently pointed out hydrogen is not an energy source for transportation.
And eliminating imported oil/fuel for personal transportation would be possible if all the current vehicles getting the 25 to 30 mpg where trashed and we all drove vehicles getting twice that mileage.
And they are out their but we are being trained to look at alternative fuels and glamorous break through in technology and keep our fleet of gas hogs.
I believe i saw that also stated in 'A Crude Awakening' a 2 part video on the Google site.
http://www.321energy.com/editorials/anthony/anthony091807.html
Does that mean the troops could come home? We'll as far as that aspect for transportation fuel for private vehicles i believe the answer would be: yes.
As to shutting down the profiting from our national war machine. No
As to controlling the middle east politically or supporting Israel in their long term plans. i believe the answer would still be. NO

August foreclosure filings highest since Jan 05 | Reuters

http://www.reuters.com/article/businessNews/idUSN1734756020070918
This is news... today.
Will the FED half point rate cut stop the real-estate slide?
I really doubt it as who will be the house buyer to step up with wallet in
hand and say:
"This is the R-E market bottom. So now is the time for me to buy."
I think most folks see it as a falling knife and will continue to keep their
wallets in their pockets.

A couple of other issues to consider the Fed had already cut rates to banks
in an unofficial move a couple of weeks ago. So in affect this maybe a 3/4
to one point cut that's now in effect.
The ARMS are continually resetting and a large number will reset in the last
three month of this year as well as through 2008. Which will just continue
to flood the R-E mkt with homes that people cannot any longer afford to buy
or live in. Homes today are more than double the size of homes built in the
fifties.
Where we smaller or dumber then? I doubt it.
So it's heat, cool and landscape everyone's 'own' monster until we get 'the
letter' in the mail.

Also their is the dirty little secret that allot of folks have continued to
use the appreciating mkt price of the 'dwelling' to borrow more by
refinance... but no longer. And it wasn't all boats and snow mobiles coming
out the other end. They where paying down debt and buying groceries. Or
maybe even their taxes to defend democracy and the F word in the middle
east.

Will our noble leaders recent proposals to bail out the home mortgage holder
who is going under actually happen?
I'm seeing some analyst stating it sounds good and Fanny May and Freddy Mac
are going to be the piggy bank of last resort for these folks.
Unfortunately, the F's are unofficially insolvent as they haven't been able
to submit clean paper to the auditors in a few years. Definitely not a good
sign if anyone is thinking of handing them bad house paper for new coin.
Good money chases bad. It's been known to happen. But not here, it's... bad
catches bad.

Also in this attached article they mention Nevada by which they must be
referring to Las Vegas. Reno is now a ghost town since the California
Indians are now just giving away the wampum.
So who is moving to glitter and false gold at this time?
'Climate Change' translates for that SW area as turning up the oven.

And of course, you are right that's what the A/C is for and which is
attached to the electric meter and which is attached to the generating plant
and which burns coal and natural gas and which is attached to the
atmosphere.

And crude oil closed at $82 today which is up about a buck and half for the
DAY.
DOW up $335.
Translated...The dieing man gets the news official: It's leukemia! But worry
not we are giving you a transfusion!
So the neighbors then run out and buy stock in the a Hospice." We will be
rich" they all shout.

Then theirs Phoenix (something to do with ashes as i recall) the fastest
growing tumor in the south west. And besides who needs water when theirs so
much sunshine to enjoy?
So at some point and i feel soon we will have to stop running and
acknowledge running and expansion are not working for us.

It seems we are a consuming Hoover vacuum for the world and for some reason
we have equated collective gorging with happiness and for some godliness.
"Our god given right" is the term sometimes mentioned.
And if you think I'm diverging from the topic pull a buck from your pocket
and see who we trust with our money. It sure aint ourselves.

So will a national recession bring us to our senses? I doubt it! But i bet a
national depression will give us allot more time to ponder the bumpy road
ahead.

And I appreciate Harold forwarding the attached Reuters article it's a good
one.

Sept 17, 2007 The Recession Is Here Richard Benson 321Gold

http://www.321gold.com/editorials/benson/benson091707.html
Enough already!
Hardly, the funs just begun by Benson's report and he illustrates it with a
reality chart as well.

So anyone who is working at this time is surly not going to be Mall shopping
or ogling big ticket items even if last week they just had to have it.
Zero interest is great if you got the money to not pay the zero interest on.

How about drawing down on the inflated value of the McCottage? Hey, that's a
thought except the so called market value of the McAmerica dream home is
becoming hard to catch as it just keeps falling so is a lender going to
front more play money for another iphone type toy using the family over
sized box as ransom?

A "Disappointed" Greenspan Lashes Out at Bush's Economic Policies -- New York TImes

The Neo Con response to Greenspan's statements in his new book are also
special.
On the Issue of the Iraq war which Greenspan is calling for them to fess up
too was actually about stealing middle east oil.
Why heaven for bid what a terrible thought the neo's are saying.
So they stood Bill Gates up to respond to that one and i did not realize
Bill had any sense of humor.
But i was wrong. Try this one and Jay Leno move over.
"Mr. Greenspan is misinformed. The invasion (peace keeping missions) in the
middle east by the U.S. and it's allies and by which he must mean Israel and
Pakistan where purely intended to foster stability in the middle east and
which they are now achieving".
Maybe he is referring to the price of the poppy crop this season in
Afghanistan. Best year ever from what i read.
Not bad for an amateur comic.

And so should the troops in Iraq and Afghan. Now that they know why they
going home in boxes from those hell holes. It's for stability amongst
peoples who have "grown to love" us while we shoot them up with freedom and
democracy.

And this is going to hurt but i gotta say it. We all where figuring that
when we put those "We support the troops" stickers the minister handed us on
Sunday over the gas filler caps the troops would understand the trade off
was that we support you if you keep the price of gas down.
And now we all know they failed in their mission as it's twice what it was
when they went their to bring um F&D. So bottom line and don't you say it.
'Definitely a bunch of loser's.'

Blackwater was just told by the Iraq's to get out as the numerous massacres
(which we don't see reported) of the Iraqi civilians is becoming
embarrassing for the puppet government we keep caged in the green zone.

And as to Greenspan being faultless concerning our own trashed economy.
How about these apples? Gold @$710, dollar under 80. stocks falling again
today. And housing mkt in shambles with foreclosure notices in the mail. Oh,
I forgot oil which is over $80. Unemployment up. Now that looks like what
you get out of a paper shredder tome.

Greenspan seems to forgot he was also telling the public to go buy more
trash to help the economy.
And he also encouraged people to take out ARM mortgages if they where broke
and wanted the house to put the China junk in.

Greedspan through out his life was a frog who never could find the pond he
thought he was made for.
First he was a Randite then a fiscal Republican though not for long. Now he
calls himself a Republican Libertarian. So life long party greed ends up as
personal greed and he's still looking for glory.
Hardly something to be proud of or that history will reward.

In Bush Speech, Signs of Split on Iran Policy -- New York Times

http://www.nytimes.com/2007/09/16/washington/16diplo.html?_r=1&th&emc=th&oref=slogin
In a standoff between Condi and Dick who do you think will win?

Here are a couple of hints.

Who has had the say-so on major policy decisions in the area of invading the
middle east, the U.S. Supreme Court appointments, cutting taxes for
corporations and especially the oil companies.
Deigning the Geneva Convention accords regarding torturing prisoners and
judicial procedures? Also, cutting social service and health benefit issues
for kids and seniors. Their are still 42 to 47 million people here in the
U.S. with out any health coverage.

We'll it sure hasn't been Condi. She has no more ultimate 'say-so' than
Powell, O'Neil or Snow did for that matter. They are seen as the front men
or in Condi's case girl for the inner circle which is Cheney and yes, still
Rove and the village idiot lil george.

But they are now 'giving it all away' by the recent actions towards Syria
that it will be Israel that will make the initial strikes. The American
public and congressional response will be muted when it comes to publicly
criticizing any aggression by Israel.

Why? The American public has been trained too never say anything publicly
what ever about Israel actions as they are the U.S. only allies other than
Howard in Australia.
And besides we all know we are sending Israel money (60 billion recently) to
do exactly what they are doing. Provoke and expand our war in the middle
east.
And with out Zionist support in congress and the Senate any one running for
office is dead meat. You do not ever get elected with out Zionist support.
Does a foreign government control our governments decisions on middle east
issues? Does a bear prefer the woods to indoor plumbing?

And that's even in South Carolina or Alabama where Jews are openly hated.
"They killed our savior." Yes, the Zionist still call the shots on the
national seats.
How?
Tight organizing and unlimited funds which they have the U.S. congress vote
on for their vehicle to control us. We pay them to be controlled by the
Zionist.
The American public is considered by the Zionist to be simple children who
need to be led for their own good. And who knows how to do that?
We'll the Zionist think they are the ones that should be doing this as they
have been very successful in congress since the fifties.

And when people are tricked and manipulated they are usually not told: "Hey,
Dude you have just been had...again. Collectively you are fools. And if you
think the national issues are birth control, stem cell research, abortion,
keep the niggers and the spicks and of course the faggots and even us the
Jews on a choke chain. Who gives a .....? We control you and that's all 300
million who don't know the difference from Jehovah and our cast off that
fake "son of God".
And who was a Jew just like us and who you poor dupes have made into a sky
god."
So if you are seeing things from that perspective you sure must think you
are on top.

It's some times mentioned by Zionist that Christian are collective so dull
witted they could not think up their own God. They had been worshipping a
rock or a tree until they where told about this 'sky god' and then they took
one of our rejects when the Romans told them to bow down to that guy the
Jews just tossed.
You would almost think that they saw us as dim witted barbarians.
But if nothing else you can be sure they don't consider us 'God's Chosen'.
And yes, they are aware some of us the dumb down dupes have advance degrees
in the crafts of the day. But do we know how it's buttered? Not a chance or
we would do something about it.

From my own observation those that will speak out and against the Zionist in
our culture are usually (with a very few brave exceptions) politically aware
Jewish Americans who are willing to take allot of heat and who the Zionist
try and get fired from their jobs for speaking out against them.
Now that does limit the vocal criticism.
As to anti-Semitic..It's not the vocal critics of the Zionist who are
anti-Semitic it's the Zionist who hate all Jews who are not with them in
their death wish.

Again, not all Jews are Zionist. Zionist know this but state: Someday all
Jews will be Zionists aswell or they just won't be.

Ask yourself when if ever you have seen something printed or stated in the
media which was directly critical of Israel's (Zionist controlled
government) action in the middle east. You may see some journalistic
reporting when they bomb Arab refuge camps and which happens frequently.
Israel usually has a justification even for that. And in Israel Arabs are by
government statue second class none citizens.

You surely won't see any mention of the 250 nuclear weapons they have
mounted on ballistic missiles and which are furnished by the U.S.
government. And you surely will not see any discussion of any of the issues
i have mentioned in the note.

Do the Zionist control us or anyone you know? How many people will share
this e.mail or discuss these issues with friends? And why not?

We don't need to say it out load or in print.

Because most of us do fear the Zionist and their power to control us. So
yes, they do control all of us to some extent if we fear speaking out or
voting against them.
And if you are a citizen of Israel you have tobe Jewish and you had better
not speak out against the Zionist government repressive policy against the
Arabs.
And if Christians do not make the distinction between Judaism and Zionism
then Christians play right in to the Zionist favorite cover game.

Bush on Global Warming

To whom it may concern...which is somewhere past 300 million of us.
http://onlinejournal.com/artman/publish/article_2412.shtml#top

It seems we are at the stage where those supposedly responsible for guarding
the chickens have eaten the birds and burnt the structure.
So the economy and the dollar based money system in these writers opinion
are nolonger functional and 'we are running on empty' or chickenless.

They also offer an answer to a question that has been puzzling me. Who is
buying the government bonds since it seems to now be an open secret that
China, Japan and Korea are now digging holes in their own back yards to bury
what they where sending us?
If you haven't heard the dollar is now falling faster than gravity.

We'll it seems it's the mutual funds, pension funds and other big
institutional investors who are dropping other paper investments ASAP.
So the bond mkt and the dollar so far don't look as sick as they actually
maybe.

You may doubt all this financial doom and conclude that of course the
economy is a mess but 'they' will continue to fake it with more fake money
along with lower interest rates.
Hey Dude, it worked sorta in former "down turns" and it's just the housing
market and maybe some of the lender that are in trouble. That's what they
would like us to think. And besides they are patching the holes in the
economic tub and it will soon be sea worthy...again.
We'll if you believe that you will believe we are winning in Iraq.

Ask yourself a related question. Do you really believe those supposedly in
charge our going to share their economic jump off a roof concerns with the
likes of us?
And if you can get assurance out of the answer to that one.
How about this one? Have they ever reported... big problems... to the people
while they where still within reach of a lamp post and a rope?
