Topic: Immigration

Title: PROTECT IP Act

I used the topic of immigration here because I felt it was fitting, although not exactly the subject I intend to write about. Here it is, pass that act and i’ll emigrate as soon as possible and will do anything in my power to protest such an act. I wish to be free in my own country, to protect myself on the internet as much as I can protect my home. This bill is threatening my freedom AND security at the same time.

Amendment I to the Constitution -
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press”

In this case you are effectively abridging the freedom of speech/press.

Amendment IV to the Constitution -
“The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.”

The government would effectively be entitled to the search and seizure of online effects without a warrant and I feel this is unreasonable. If I do not have a right to secure a means of exchange, then why should I live here? Or anyone for that matter?

Amendment V to the Constitution -
“No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use without just compensation.”

My and many others exist on the internet intellectual property , you are depriving me of my liberty previous to a process of law. The right to protecting myself was upheld by the courts throughout the history of this country. Toss aside that right, allow myself to be tracked, monitored, my data stolen, and allow companies to do the same and I will have no choice, but to leave this country.

Amendment IX to the Constitution -
“The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.”

Disable my rights and I am no more than a slave.

Please give this to who ever you feel can make a difference, I cannot stand for it, I cannot suffer it. Please submit it to everyone in the house and senate if you need to.

Those who know me would probably call me the most stubborn person they know, my parents, my girlfriend, my teachers, my closest friends, all believe I am one of the most stubborn they have ever met. Well here is why, I refuse to do something that I do not understand, I did not want to learn to read because it was not explained to me why I should. Once it was explained I quickly went on to the highest of reading levels simply because I realized that reading was good for me. My father had a similar story with punishment which he loves to tell anyone who listens, when I was younger any time my parents attempted to punish me by telling me to do something such as sitting in a chair I would simply say “no.” They would then attempt to place me there and hold me while I struggled, punching, nawing anything to hurt them or myself to cause them pity. I sound like a brat right? Interesting enough, eventually I told them what their problem was, at the age of ten I explained that they needed to be fair. I understood I had as much power as they did to command, only less physical force. However, to my advantage I had their pity for me and reluctance of using their strength. Which led me to simply explain to them that if they treat me fair and deal with me by giving me chores in order to give me freedom, I would be willing to do as I am told. I was not willing to accept punishments for something which I did not understand or something that I did not agree to.

Take this lesson to all parents, learn to teach your children how to trade, explain every action. I do not remember one time where I have accepted punishment which I felt to be unjust, nor have I ever committed what I would consider a crime or broken a rule which I felt to be just. I have never stolen, never hurt another unless force was used on me, I avoided arguments, I avoided discussing in class unless called upon, I never speak at my job except to ask or answer questions. This is how I have been my whole life, even since I was a child, perhaps if children were taught that this is the right way to act, to trade to communicate, to discuss WHY to do something parents would have a better handle on their children as well as teach them how to react in the world.

Today I am venturing out to purchase my first armadillo lizard, not even technically mine, rather a gift for a friend who will obtain it on a future date. I intend to put up a full care sheet (including eventually how to entice them to mate), and add as much information as I can. When looking on the internet I could not find any information pertaining to raising, breeding, or even where to obtain these lizards, I now intend to do all of that on my own.

From current reading this is what I understand to be the way in which you care for them:

• 20 gallon tank (screen lid)
• coconut sub-strait (3 inches thick)
• hiding place
• water dish
• crickets for food
• UVB and heat lamp
• a couple large rocks for basking (100 degrees)
• up to three can be housed in that 20 gallon tank (though not recommended) and only one male per.
• lighting is on for 8-10 hours per day

I sat down to one of the many debates scheduled for the Republican candidates to state there positions and apparently feelings on why they should be President. The only ones who did not seem to state why they feel they should be President of the United States is Rick Santorum and Ron Paul from what I could tell. The new beast, that is Newt-Romney, has so elegantly stated how I feel about the two of them. The new Newt-Romney beast has forever tied together the two leading candidates, a good call Michele Bachmann’s crew, hopefully forming a lasting tie in all the viewers brains that will hold Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney as a single unit, forcing a split between their votes. It has yet to be seen how many jokes will be made, but it is certain that the new Newt-Romney monstrosity will dampen the hopes of both parties, or at least, brighten the spirits of those listening to jokes!

Based on my current knowledge of physics (classical through quantum theory), although limited, there are several basic principles that are always constant

1.  The rules that govern physics are universal.
2. Understanding these rules, allow intelligent beings have the ability to alter their surroundings.
3. Anything that can be is at some point in time, if the universe is infinite.

Every time I turn on CNN or msnbc I feel the urge to scream, rarely have I seen any poll in which Ron Paul has come in the lead from either channel. In most cases I have not even seen Ron Paul mentioned in any news broadcast, this race is considerably better than that of 2008 in which I had not even known Ron Paul was running until half way through the primaries (even watching most of the debates).

I wish I had enough time to write an essay on this; however, this is all I have:

The question I was posed the other day was, “When and what was the basis of the first novel thought?”

My answer is this:

“The consolidation of every rule that governs the universe, from the basic rules of gravity, electromagnetism, the bending of space-time, and the principles that form atoms; to RNA and DNA, to the neurons, and to our brains. Every law that governs the universe compounded to create intelligence, and therefore any and all novel thoughts.”

To expand on this, it was inside the rules of our universe that allowed intelligent life to be created, which based on the vastness of the universe allows nearly every possibility (within that rule structure) to exist, at least at some point in time. To prove this, look at black holes, which according to our current theory of physics should be very rare. If that example does not prove the point well enough, take for example every single mutation that has gotten humanity to the point at which it is now; to exemplify, the eye structure. The point is with a universe full of billions of planetary bodies (an infinite amount over the course of time according to some physicists), there were likely hundreds of thousands of intelligent beings created (because according to the Cartesian theory of physics, the universe is governed by the same rules at every point inside the universe). Meaning that the basis of every novel idea comes from and is allowed by the fundamental laws that govern the universe.”

After Thoughts:

Which, if all of this is accepted, also allows for the possibility (a rather large possibility in fact) that we are not the only intelligent creatures in this universe…

When I look at the state of the United States I can not help but wonder not, “how did we get here?” but “how do we plan to fix it?” For the last few years over and over again I have heard, “the banks did this,” “the government did this,” “greed did this,” “investors did this,” but none of this matters from what I see! Here is what I see the issue is, that right now our country is spiraling into debt, causing the masses to organize and complain about corporate taxes, the unemployed to cause stress on their families, the states to cut funding to schools, and many other factors that come with a poor economy. This is the only way I can see it getting better:
