About Me

My photo
Hello my fellow Politiores Troglodytes. This Blog is a collection of Posts, Poems, & Short Stories that I write on a weekly basis. If you find it entertaining, informative, and controversial, then I have done my job properly. Thank goodness too, because Karma has been on my case of late. I'm supposed to bring fifty people into the fold or I'll have to give back the part of Einstein's brain I inherited. No, I'm not one of the Scientists who got a piece of his brain when he died. Karma said, "Eat this knowledge. It'll make you smarter!" The bargain I made with Karma was, if I could change fifty people into Politiores Populos, I would be rewarded with my very own Lamborghini. So, that's my story and I'm sticking to it! Like what you're reading, then read on. P.S. Populo is Latin for people. Politiores is Latin for educated. Troglodytes is English for troglodytes. And Einstein's brain was stolen by Thomas Stoltz Harvey after his death in 1955 and eventually divvied up into 240 pieces. If you just read that last sentence, then you have just learned something and I'm just that much closer to fulfilling my commitment to Karma!

I Am Messing With The Jeff

I would lick,
or is it lie,
or like I mean to say,
that the people of da World,
take me ceriously!
Me now has an agitating annotator named
Jeff.
Andy all know that,
"You don't mess with the Jeff."
But I am going to try!
I forgot to use my grammar
and spellcheck app.
Well,
the witty and humorous
Jeffery
commented on my Post
Which is actually one of my quotes from my
Does that make me a professional?
I do not know,
but I've been shaking ever since
The Jeff
said on my Post,
"I prefer this quote "What a load of crappy, crap,crap." Bart Simpson"
Is he taking me seriously?
OK Jeff,
It's on!
First I
Googled
your image
and all that came up was this.
Jeff
always did have a goatee
and beady little eyes during
and after we left High School.
But I never thought he would be able to keep that head of hair.
He wore it done to his shoulders I believe back then.
Like a girl.
Most of those degenerate Hippies of the time did!
I could have a case of mistaken identity here.
But no.
This is how I imagine
Jeff
would have turned out without my guidance to help him along the path of life.
I am a guiding light for many people who have lost there way
and need to find the path once again.
I believe my next book should be,
for only $14.95 per copy,
"Zen And The Art Of The Mugshot."
Look for it on a Newsstand near you!

It Can Even Hack People The FBI Knows To Be Innocent.

The Supreme Court Just Gave the FBI the Power to Hack Innocent People by William Turton for GIZMODO
This story is important to us all because it is another way the
Government
is slowly taking away our
Privacy Rights.
"A proposed change to the ‘Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure’ issued yesterday by the United States Supreme Court allows federal judges to grant the FBI permission to hack multiple computers at once, including machines belonging to people who haven’t been suspected of a crime. It can even hack people the FBI knows to be innocent."
Why should you care?
Since you say you never do anything illegal.
"The new rule would allow the FBI to infect innocent people’s computer with malware in order to investigate cyber-crime—even if their only connection to the crime is that they’re the victims. What could go wrong? Even better, there’s a legitimate fear that the judges who end up authorizing these hacking warrants don’t even fully grasp what they’re authorizing." 
Oh,
great.
That means my computer will have a
Government Sanctioned Malware
inside it.
Do you think that you'll get an email one day after the investigation is over saying,
this is how to remove our malware?
“I think a significant concern is within that rule there is no requirement that the FBI disclose to a judge exactly what hacking technique they’re using, what the unintended consequences are, what the implications are,” Guliani said. “So you may have a situation where a judge is authorizing something without fully understanding what the questions are. And this has come up in other technologies like stingrays where judges say, well, I didn’t really know what I was authorizing. This rule has six months to be changed or outright banned by Congress before it automatically goes into law. Senator Ron Wyden is already trying to ring alarm bells about these new powers, saying “These amendments will have significant consequences for Americans’ privacy and the scope of the government’s powers to conduct remote surveillance and searches of electronic devices.”
Well,
with this new
Supreme Court
ruling,
that makes everything legal,
right?
"There’s another problem with mass FBI hacking. It’s unclear that evidence gathered via malware-laden hacking tools will actually end up being admissible in court. In addition, these warrants are sketchy when it comes to fulfilling some basic requirements of the fourth amendment, which bans unreasonable search and seizure."
So,
You are telling me,
the evidence might not be submittable because of that protector of us all,
The Fourth Amendment?
God Bless America.
This is,
Wondering If We Will Lose All Our Rights Someday,
Jim Hauenstein,

And,

“The Fourth Amendment wasn't written for people with nothing to hide any more than the First Amendment was written for people with nothing to say.”

From Imagination Comes Reality My Friend

You want to be the leader of
Men & Women?
You want to find
Enlightenment?
Or,
do you need a
Pick-Me-Up
in the morning to get those creative juices moving?
Get the book
Tao Te Ching,
look up a webpage on
Lao Tzu,
or on the religion
Taoism.
See if some of this ancient wisdom,
from the
6th Century BC,
can't do the trick for you.
"A leader is best when people barely know he exists, when his work is done, his aim fulfilled, they will say: we did it ourselves."
-Lao Tzu -

"If you are depressed, you are living in the past. If you are anxious, you are living in the future. If you are at peace, you are living in the present."

"Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don't resist them. That only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like."

"Kindness in words creates confidence. Kindness in thinking creates profoundness. Kindness in giving creates love."

"Life and death are one thread. The same line viewed from different sides."

"The snow goose need not bathe to make itself white. Neither need you do anything, but be yourself."

"Knowing others is wisdom, knowing yourself is Enlightenment."

“Either We Spread Earth To Other Planets, Or We Risk Going Extinct.”

A Photon walks into a hotel. A Bellhop says, "Do you have any luggage?" The Photon says, "No. I'm traveling light."

I started today's Blog with a joke I saw online told by
Yes,
that
Neil DeGrasse Tyson.
The one who started the momentum with the
Scientific Community
 to declare that
Pluto
was a dwarf planet.
It just goes to show you,
that you can get great grades in school,
but it doesn't mean you are very intelligent.
OK,
that is enough banging on Neil.
He was misguided somewhere in his life.
The reason I started with a joke today is,
because at first,
I thought one of the pioneers in
Private Business Space Exploration,
was out of his mind.
"Elon Musk Says SpaceX Is Going To Mars By 2018"
by Chris D'Angelo for Huffington Post
"Just when you thought Elon Musk couldn’t possibly aim any higher, the billionaire tech magnate’s private space company unveiled plans Wednesday to begin sending Dragon spacecrafts to Mars by 2018. SpaceX told The Huffington Post the upcoming missions — dubbed with the project name Red Dragon — will test propulsion technologies required to land large payloads on the red planet and provide information for its Mars colonization architecture, which the company plans to make public later this year. Wednesday’s announcement on Twitter comes just weeks after SpaceX pulled off a nearly impossible at-sea landing of its rocket booster — a technological milestone that set the space community abuzz. SpaceX says the unmanned Dragon spaceships will be carried to Mars aboard Falcon Heavy, a beefed-up version of its Falcon 9 booster capable of lifting the equivalent of a loaded 737 jetliner into orbit. In addition to Falcon Heavy, slated to begin flying later this year, the company is working to develop its Dragon Version 2 spacecraft, capable of carrying a crew of seven." 
I've got to hope for the best from this
Billionaire.
He is the only chance I might have of being a stowaway on board one of his ships!

The Vortex - A Flash Fiction Story

  Hearing Margarette scream, Kenneth Lawenski jumps off the leisure chair he was plastered to and begins heading towards the bathroom door.
  Before his wife's terrifying cries pierced the warm humid Florida air, he is fixated in a trance.
  He's back in a firefight. Back in the jungles of Vietnam.
  The flashback is triggered by an explosion which sees half of Kenneth and Margarette's home disappear.
Kenneth at first doesn't realize what is happening. The explosion sent his mind reeling back to the Quang Nam Province, specifically the city of Da Nang, Vietnam.
  It was less than two months prior, in October of Nineteen-Sixty-Five. Ken was living in a hooch, or Quonset hut with his pregnant Vietnamese, sometimes housekeeper, sometimes girlfriend. Fighting the Viet Cong and his demons.
  Now he is wondering how the Marine Corp could have dropped him off, on November 2nd, in a San Francisco Airport. When only three days before he was in a firefight, late at night, with an M14 rifle, against a bunch of rabid Viet Cong.
  Nothing made sense anymore. At home, or in his mind.
  He is called a murderer. A killer of babies.
 Long haired freaky people, complete strangers, wearing army uniforms that had flowers and words like love and peace sewn on them, would come up to him, telling him, “Peace Man,” while holding up the World War Two Victory Sign with their fingers.
  He wanted to break those fingers.
  The American People were disgusted with drafted Soldiers like him who were just doing their jobs.
  Disgusted with the United States Armed Forces for fighting a war where clearly the objective was not to win, but to perpetuate War for the sake of Big Business.
  He thought about Nguyet. The girl he left behind.
  Someone who obviously cared for him.
  She would be having his child soon.
  Before being discharged, he went to the Navy's JAG unit where he knew a guy and had his Will made out so Nguyet and their child would receive his Pension and Life Insurance Policy if by chance he never made it out of there alive.
  Even now, being back in the States, he made sure it was iron clad, where those two would benefit from his death, and not his wife of seven years.
  He was sure he loved Margarette, or at one time had loved her.
  But how could she know what it is like living in constant denial of your own mortality. With all the death that surrounds a person in the jungles of Vietnam.

  Margarette's cries finally breaks his reverie.
 Kenneth is on his feet, gripping the bathroom door handle, as the wood around it disintegrates.
  Before his eyes, standing on what was once his hallway, looking down, he sees a whirlpool of mud and water.
  His wife, sits in their bathtub, as it goes around and around.
  Margarette can't stop screaming, while holding onto the sides of the tub, circling, falling deeper into the vortex of a sink hole.
  Ken isn't panicking. What is death to him.
  For the last two years in Vietnam, death was a constant companion. It was the only friend that had made it home with him.
  At first, he thinks there is nothing he can do for Margarette. But the panic she is experiencing brings back that old flame into his heart.
  He can't let her die alone.
  He couldn't let her die alone.
  The next time the porcelain makeshift boat floats by, Kenneth jumps into it, immediately grabbing his wife, yelling, “Kiss me. Kiss me now!”
  He pulls her face to his, pressing their lips together, forcing Margarette to stop her piercing cries.
  Holding each other, like the young lovers they once were.
  Both, close their eyes.
  Tears run down Kenneth's face for the first time in years. He is finally feeling something inside his heart.
  An emotion he hasn't felt since before Vietnam.

This is,
