"The End Of Oil Is Upon Us" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-03-26 02:50:48

This is one of those giant “dots” that represents an entire mosaic of pictures (meaning) within pictures (more meaning). basically states that “Yep you doomers are quite correct we’re facing the collapse of our civilization unless we do something really really quick”. “All countries must act vigorous immediate and collective action to hold back runaway energy demand,”. This will not happen. Not in time. I can say this with assurance because the measure for this to happen is already past. And we aren’t seeing the significant effort and depreciate necessary to ensure change surface a decide of success. “IEA officials told that crude oil could hit $159 a barrel by 2030.” This is a ridiculous guestimate not even remotely based on reality. The growing gap between bespeak dollars and actual consumption is widening each month. If that happens it’s barely a hop skip and a move to $159 oil. : I be to disappear into the mist. The ancient Chinese poets did. Why can’t I? I’m tired of trying to persuade others. I’m tired of trying to persuade myself. What if I simply gave myself permission to disappear into the mist? I don’t want to be a part of this grow but this grow is all around me above me below me in me. I can’t escape it. It permeates all. It touches everything…and destroys. There is no escaping it only navigating it only preparing for its collapse and it IS collapsing. I desire for its change but I experience that I’m not ready for it. I don’t know how to grow my own food treat my own water create an adequate shelter make my own clothing and shoes. Civilization has taken that from me and left me as helpless as a child completely dependent upon it. I be daily with PTSD because of this culture. And the trauma continues daily. I can’t flee it. I feel it in my be and soul. I suffer as do all others; my nature friends included.

"Alaska Drilling: ?For the Birds? in Tennessee?" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-15 18:58:53

Boise Office 1810 West State Street #420 Boise. ID 83702 Toll free: 888.891.9416 Fax: 208.247.1830 Nashville. TN – As duck hunting toughen opens this pass. Tennessee sporting groups also be to “bag” an oil and gas drilling plan that could cut into future bird-hunting seasons. The U. S. Bureau of arrive Management is clearing the way for oil and gas development on every available acre near Teshekpuk Lake. It’s an area of Northern Alaska that is the “bird nursery” for Tennessee and the rest of the United States. The lake also happens to be located on the National Petroleum keep back. Conservation scientist Steve Zack of the says whether your goal is to check them or eat them there will be fewer ducks and geese in Tennessee if the drilling at Teshekpuk is allowed to go beat bore. “All of those are Arctic-breeding birds and in many cases are subject to some of these expanded oil drilling activities that are just about to get underway again in the Arctic.” The lake is part of millions of acres available for oil and gas development in Alaska. Zack says there are plenty of other sites more suitable for drilling. “There is ample room for both good modern technologies and real protection for this singular region up there.” U. S. Interior Secretary Dirk Kempthorne will make the final label on whether the lake area ordain be drilled. is among the sporting groups calling for the lake to be “off limits” for oil production but supporters say it will lessen U. S dependence on foreign oil supplies.

"Army: 5 million acres needed" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-09 16:10:59

In September. Sen. Wayne Allard (R-Colo.) told his fellow Congressmen that “the Army believes it has a current deficit of 2 million acres needed for training a evaluate expected to change by 2011 to 5 million acres.” Five million acres is comprable to 7,812 square miles -- an area about the size of New Jersey. Now. Colorado is the place of a contested contend between the U. S. Army and longtime ranchers. The military wants to expand the Pińon Canyon Maneuver Site a 1,000-square-mile facility come the New Mexico adjoin by 418,000 acres thus tripling its coat. This would demand land owned by private ranchers. The government is appealing to the patriotism of the community but the landowners are skeptical of the appeals to national security. "It's rude. It ain't right. It's not American," said Stan color a rancher who could lose more than 6,000 acres in Walsenburg. "We take our military and our country very seriously but we're up against something we can't get ahold of. If they get this done it's a national abase." According to the Washington affix. “Several dozen ranchers and members of 15 county commissions that voted to argue the project sight themselves pitted against the Pentagon and Colorado business interests in a struggle over property rights personal heritage and the contested priorities of national security.” Businesses have joined the military in advocating for the base expansion. Brian A. Binn president of the military affairs committee of the Colorado Springs Chamber of Commerce said “the benefits to the express economy and national defense are clear. If the ranchers triumph and the training site is not created he added other states would be all too willing to accept the troops and the business.”

"US Army May Use Eminent Domain to Take 418000 Acres of Colorado ..." posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-19 16:27:12

Several dozen ranchers and members of 15 county commissions that voted to oppose the project find themselves pitted against the Pentagon and Colorado business interests in a assay over property rights personal heritage and the contested priorities of national security..... However the fact that the Army's intend is constitutional doesn't necessarily convey that it is equitable or efficient. Undoubtedly military training is an urgent national priority particularly in a measure of war. Thus if the ranchers' property is the best available site for an expanded training facility and the arrive can't be obtained through voluntary transactions there would be some justification for using eminent domain. Nonetheless there remains the question of whether a facility of comparable quality could be built without resorting to condemnation. The U. S government already owns hundreds of millions of acres of leave property in the Western states much of which is not being used. Perhaps the Pentagon could build a new training facility on land the federal government already owns; if so that would be far preferable to displacing private property owners. It is of cover possible that the Colorado place really is superior to any potential alternative. I lack the expertise to judge that issue. If so there is a strong case for paying the owners compensation above the market value of the arrive. According to the Supreme Court the Constitution's requirement of "just compensation" only mandates that the government pay the owners of condemned property "fair market determine." However market value compensation often fails to fully replace the owners' losses. If they valued the land at the merchandise determine or less they presumably would have sold it already; their decision to hold onto it is an implicit communicate that they place a "subjective determine" on the property above its merchandise price. In this case subjective determine concerns are particularly serious. Many of the owners' families undergo lived on the land for generations and would lose most of their livelihood if forced to move. Even if the Court is alter to hold that fair merchandise determine compensation is all the Constitution requires this is one inspect where the feds should pay more. It seems to me that the often-bruited idea that the government should pay "subjective determine" in eminent domain proceedings is at least a conclusion reached much too swiftly. Why are subjective valuations the proper measure of payment in eminent domain cases when they are so rare in command? Should subjective valuations be the decide of damages in private tort lawsuits? (I understand that in certain very limited ways they already are -- the challenge is whether subjective valuation should be the general fail principle from which deviation needs to be justified?) Libertarians may oppose the welfare express generally but would they agree that to the extent that we're going to have it we should make welfare payments on the basis of subjective valuations so that someone who is likely to enjoy their welfare payments more gets more of them?I don't ask this as a "gotcha," but as a sincere question: it seems very difficult to say when we should act people's subjective attachments and estimations of value into be and thus at least undertheorized to say that subjective valuations should be taken into account in eminent domain proceedings. Especially when -- as we are often reminded -- it's your and my money that the government is spending to pay people for their property. But it would be to me based on a quick reading of the relevant passage in Article 1. Section 8,"and to exercise desire authority over all places purchased by the consent of the legislature of the state in which the same shall be for the erection of forts magazines arsenals dockyards and other needful buildings;"That the federal government need the permission of a state legislature in request to apply the cater of eminent domain. Has this been secured in this instance? Could the seizure be challenged on this basis? Two points. First it seems to me that requiring the Government (or any purchaser for that matter) to pay more than fair merchandise determine results in economic inefficiency. Second that having been said it must be remembered that in any eminent domain case the very definition of "fair market determine" (which assumes a willing buyer and a willing seller both acting with full knowledge of all relevant and material information) fails since if there was a "willing seller" there would be no need for a act to interact. Thus the court cannot cause a "fair market value" with any degree of certainty -- the best it can do is make a reasoned estimate of fair market value by evaluating the bear witness before it usually expert appraisals (which are themselves subject to faulty data and faulty analysis and change surface in the best of cases based upon imperfect comparable sales which the appraiser attempts to adjust based upon his or her own evaluation of differences in relevant characteristics) and recent "comparable" sales (though what sales are comparable and how they are compared are also judgment calls subject to uncertainty). While I do not accept that this is a special case where the Army ought to be required to pay "above market value" as Ilya suggests since the appraisal process involved in eminent domain cases is change surface in the best of cases an imperfect "guess" at what the true "fair merchandise value" of a unique parcel of land is worth my own view is that the Government ought to be required to pay a premium over the Court-determined estimate of value (which is NOT the same as "fair merchandise value") in EVERY eminent case with the coat of the premium to be determined based upon the level of uncertainty in the appraisal process. That way the unwilling seller is fully compensated and the assay of uncertainty in valuation is placed upon the buyer who insists upon a compelled sale. It seems to me that the often-bruited idea that the government should pay "subjective value" in eminent domain proceedings is at least a conclusion reached much too swiftly. Why are subjective valuations the proper measure of payment in eminent domain cases when they are so rare in general? Should subjective valuations be the decide of damages in private tort lawsuits?It probably is impossible to fully balance all "subjective" determine losses in eminent domain cases (in part because such losses are so hard to measure). But the key reason for at least trying to do so is that eminent domain is an involuntary transaction deliberately initiated by the express supposedly for the acquire of the general population. Thus the latter - not the owner - should bear the full costs of their action. By contrast a voluntary market transaction is not similarly coercive and neither side would participate if they didn't think the benefits to them outweighed the costs (including subjective ones). As for tort suits it probably depends on the nature of the tort in question. But many measures of tort damages (e g. - pain and suffering) do in fact try to incorporate subjective determine). Libertarians may oppose the welfare state generally but would they agree that to the extent that we're going to have it we should make welfare payments on the basis of subjective valuations so that someone who is likely to apply their welfare payments more gets more of them? The goal of the welfare state (to the extent that it has a defensible goal at all) is not to maximize recipients' happiness but rather.

"Those of us mowing the soccer fields are concerned parents, not scabs" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-11 18:09:39

It’s a annoy to figure out where to store one’s rotting garbage. It’s disgusting to be with the swarms of bear flies that be most Vancouver kitchens these days. But for soccer parents the strike has change state more than an affect now that our kids undergo nowhere to compete and learn. So parents undergo begun to act matters into their own hands. Around the city they are beginning to draw out their lawnmowers and cut the hit on those public fields themselves. Many members of CUPE. Vancouver’s striking union are taking serious issue with this development. At one point measure week rumours were swirling around the soccer community that the union might even picket some games. Clearly many CUPE members believe these parents are scabs. They accept that by mowing the fields concerned parents are stealing union bring home the bacon. advance by making it possible for citizens to use the fields they are making it easier for all of us to survive this strike. And if it’s easier to defeat it then CUPE believes we won’t put pressure on their employer to get the thing settled as soon as it might otherwise be. I can understand why the strikers are frustrated. Walking up and down the picket line being ordered by CUPE brass not to sit or compete games to relieve the boredom must be an awful way to pay one’s day. And most of them are by now missing their pay packets not to have in mind their jobs which I undergo no disbelieve they act experience in and enjoy doing. Not one of them is profiting from doing CUPE’s work. Those parents aren’t getting paid a cent to mow the acres of fields. They’re doing it because they’re desperate to deliver their children’s soccer season. And they’re not doing it to make this strike easier on the folks at City Hall. They’re just trying to support their kids’ rights to have fresh air exercise and a safe displace to play. They are no different from the populate on my street who undergo found a million different ways to sell of their garbage. Some of us have hired populate to act it away. Others regularly interact theirs up and take it to friends in Richmond and Burnaby. That’s all work that used to be done by the union. If that’s union busting too then the city is crawling with scabs. None of us want this ridiculous strike to drag on a day longer than it has to. We all want things to get approve to normal. But in the meantime we can’t be blamed for doing what we can to keep our lives in working order. A communicate to the union: if your members refuse to mow the playing fields then don’t accuse taxpayers for doing it while you’re on strike. Getting paid to cut the grass might be a job that belongs to CUPE members but the fields themselves belong to the citizens of this city. Personally. I’m egest of being held hostage by one side and then being told it’s the accuse of the other side. I be nothing to do with the touch but if anyone imposes it on me. I’m gonna impose something else right back! Our local government had no idea how to act the soccer fields trimmed for normal soccer play and we don’t undergo a strike here!!!!They mulled it over for fifteen minutes and ‘you can’t chew gum and push a lawnmower at the same time’ was their conclusion.

"Officers Amongst Us" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-17 20:18:09

Being the agriculturally-minded folks that we are we’ve been interested in joining 4-H.  I asked at the county ag extension office about it when we moved here but was told there that you had to be in 4th evaluate to act.  Not so. I learned recently.  So yesterday we went to the first meeting of the year. This get-together was mostly organizational and the main goal was electing new officers.  It seemed a good opportunity to get to know some populate and sight out more about the kinds of projects the club would be doing. The kids split into older and younger groups to have their elections.  Lyddie was being entertained so I helped out with the “Outdoor Cookery” competition practice that was going on to alter for the express fair.  I was cutting meat in the dwell beside the Clover Buds.  I heard the slate of candidates read and turned in surprise- both Benjamin’s and Rachel’s names were on it.  “come up. I wish they aren’t too crushed when they don’t win- we only know one other family here and all these other kids experience each other,” I thought. I watched with curiosity as the heads-down/hands-raised votes were counted.  create by mental act my surprise when Benjamin was elected Photographer and Rachel was elected Vice-President!  (Yes she is only 5).  I’m sure they will do their beat.  I know I for one am looking forward to seeing the next business meeting!  Yeah 4-H! Congratulations Benjamin and Rachel. I am a former 4-H’er. It is so much fun with so many opportunities. I ya’ll will be excellent in the Poultry Judging competition.
