The Large Hadron Collider

There have been fanatic claims that the Large Hadron Collider that is to go online soon is going to damage earth somehow or perhaps create some sort rip in the time continuum... These nonsensical claims have, paradoxically, stirred up from some very influential physicists and other scientists around the world. The only connection between some of these claimants and CERN, is that the claimants could be jealous that they aren't able to work on the LHC and therefore want to scare the public against the LHC... Other than that, anyone who is afraid of the LHC is a quack and ought to be completely ostracized.

Anyone who knows the basics of astrophysics knows that the reactions of the LHC will fall vastly short of the very harmless cosmic interactions which occur in our atmosphere every day. Furthermore, those who think the LHC will harm anything or anyone miss the fact that the black hole creation in the LHC will be so minuscule that it will not be able to react with anything and will dissipate almost instantly... Honestly, I think that the people who are filing these claims against the LHC ought to have their statements recorded, and then after the LHC goes online, they should be publicly humiliated for attempting to hurt the progress of real science because of their own petty personal concerns.

While I'm ranting:

Anyone who supports the confederacy, the "Great Nation of Texas" or flies a rebel flag ought to be tried for treason... Just saying... they are separatists, secessionists and seditious...

China

So, China... What, pray tell, was the deciding factor for the Olympics Committee to make the decision to hold the Olympics in China? Perhaps the deleterious air quality? Perhaps the current violent and oppressive stance on Taiwanese Independence? Perhaps the fact that just about the entire western third of China wants to be an independant state and has a several century claim to Independence? Perhaps the fact that entire villages are dying from cancer due entirely, and indubitably, to water pollution... please can someone tell me why the Olympics are being held there?

Public Officials cont...

"If I wanted to be loved, I ought to be a TV correspondent, not a politician,"
- Cheney

This is why the congress is supposed to be equal in power if not more powerful than the executive, and defiantly more powerful than the VP. It is not a simple matter to get rid of the executive nor the VP, however, the congress is much more susceptible to the will of the people than the executive.

If Cheney thinks that he ought not fret over whether or not he is respected by the populus, he needs remedial education in the Constitution and the structure of our government.

Subterfuge

It completely eludes me how a person could run for public office, of any distinction, perform some of the requisite duties whilst simultaneously abandoning the principles upon which the office is founded. Furthermore, abandoning the trust of the public, who espoused trust in the elected individual via the electoral process, in such a manner accrues particular disdain in my eyes. The hubris required to pull off such a blatant disregard for the public is far beyond my comprehension and thus I am motivated to think that instead of some sort of arrogance, one who can do such a thing either suffers from a mental deficiency or is evil beyond mere pride.

The desiderata of a person who could act in such a way ought to be of particular inspection as it may elucidate the motivations which lead to such betrayal and thus may allow us to identify scoundrels earlier. With all this said, I am not naive, i know this betrayal will occur from time to time, this fact does not, however, remove the desire to eliminate such potential betryal from our political officers.

Revivification

Ostensibly, blogs are to be a repository of thought, this blog has been a bit of that though it got rather untidy while at the same time being neglected. Since, as one of my profs put it, my essays and term papers for class have been a tool by which I have been entertaining myself through superfluously ostentatious diction, I will move such works to this blog while leaving my school work clean, concise and perhaps even trite.
