The Three Tenets of Existential Terrorism

Words are not things or actions. They are vibrations of the air molecules or squiggles on a page. Mistaking words for reality is the mistake that puts politicians in office and sells all of the products, religions, and systems of government on the planet. Saying "Tree" is no more a tree than saying "I love you" means that someone loves you. To perceive reality as it is, one must accept that words are a vehicle for the transference of our perception of reality, not reality itself.
God is dead. I killed him (it, them, her, et al) on November 5th, 1991. Justifiable Homicide. The idea that the universe is run by some cosmic supra-hero concept of ourselves is absurd and unproven. The idea that the creator of the universe put us here in these bodies to satisfy some moral experiment is offensive. The God question; "What are we doing here?", may or may not be valid. At this time, we are here because the physical laws of the universe are not completely against our existence. Our short time of consciousness would be far better served ensuring our survival rather than posturing before some misanthropic cosmic deity.
The only government, the only rule of law, is economics. However our societies are structured, whatever religion or ethnicity, we have all decided that those with relatively more assets have better lives than those with less relative wealth. All measured value is economic value in this system.

The Immigration Obfuscation II



Part II

The United States, being a sovereign nation, can decide who is allowed to immigrate.  The current debate, however is focused on immigrant rights.  Which means that the 10-15 million who are here illegally, have an inherent right to stay here, work here, and become citizens.  Which is nonsense.  And no, I am not racist because Mexican or Guatemalan or Chinese  is not a race but a nationality.  Because the United States has the right to determine who enters the country legally and what that status entails, we should decide what immigration policy is best for the United States.  We don't need to populate the continent anymore.  Cheap labor is a misnomer due to costs beyond wages for supporting an underclass.  We should be investing in automated agriculture, not using human beings instead of machines.  We do need nurses, doctors, engineers, mathematicians, and lawyers (kidding on the last one).  We should have an immigration policy that brings in the best and brightest in these fields.  That's it, immigration policy should serve the personnel needs of the country.  We don't need to provide political haven or increase diversity, which I will discuss tomorrow.
