Imagine Air/RSD

My current studies are of the United States Postal Service, here and trying to do right by my photographs.

I was also continuing to figure how to make IGX work right.  Bringing in Imagine Air to IGX to take over Med Air operations out of and into IGX might make for a win win resolution.

Leastways for my agenda which is to maintain and expand flights in and out of IGX.

The Law is on myside as written, abortion but not so much in the reality of the situation.

You want to privatize?  You want to control?  Basically far as I can tell the University wants it all both ways all the time.

Frankly I don't think the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill really knows what they want, asthma and therefore defaults to mindless fads of all we can get, and bad ear pandering.

I'd like to know the names of those in the meeting with Holden Thorp who got him to promise Orange County NC would have no airport.

It is a blot on the usually ethical NC State Legislature that they let the Airport Authority they authorized be squashed by the fiat of an unelected University Chancellor who has no responsibility or duty to any other entity than the University.

Frankly he is probably more upset that the basketball team lost tonight, than that his decisions are helping destroy the prospects of local working classes who may well be overeducated.

The thing to do far as the State Universities is concerned is get NC State Engineers to tell UNCH how to have a good airport for Orange County.

Having been a Taxi Cab driver and spent a lot of time on airports working for FBOs, or even the airline Piedmont, I know a few things about this stuff.  I am told that FAA regs are not right for it all to work right.  All for hire and integrated large and small is likely to be 121 regs..

Anyway fast and far wins.

When money got tight and the University could not build on the IGX land it shut down Tar Heel Temps, instead of moving it across the street to IGX and sending out the people it fired.

I don't for the life of me understand this sort of thing.  I love the life of the mind.  Still I need to eat.

Elon University will turn around and eat Duke's lunch since Alamance County will put an airport anywhere they can and they are hungry.

Coach Bill Miller of Elon got them far, far as basketball.

Where was I?

 

Unipolar Powerbalance?

Unisex bathrooms are for both sexes but Unipower is one nation in charge? Super power?  Right?

Libby the political science major told me some say the situation is now just the US.  I'd like to see France run the problem out in Libya myself, denture just out of intuition.

I feel that the French have some good enough planes for the mission and think they are more capable of dealing with the interests of the Italians in this matter.

Far as any realism is concerned, you who might think boots on the ground are not, or won't be required, are fools, in my opinion.

When I get hurt I am not above fighting fire with fire.

I recently read Once a Fighter Pilot by Jerry W. Cook.  It is hanging with me well.  Some nuts and bolts realities are most important to remember about war, and one that requires boots on the ground in Libya, same as in the air for General Cook, is positive identification of the enemy.

How you going to not kill civilians or friendlies, if you can't see them close up?

Who cares if a place is safe or not anyway, if they would never go there?

Face it and admit that people go to Libya to buy oil. 

Soul of Aerotroplis/RSD

When designing Transcendia I took great notice of things Hitler and his 7 did.  The point was that if I wanted to do as much good, remedy as Hitler did bad, I needed to know what he did technically to achieve such power.  The ideals of hatred are not accepted and are to be reversed.  The history of Hitler, and apparently his teetotalling speed freak habits make me wonder if the world would be a better place if he'd drank as much beer as I have.  I one time got to try some pilot pills, good speed, called White Cross, and liked that, but other heavy speeds made my heart hurt, and having had Scarlet Fever I figure I could well have some heart scaring.

I noted that Hitler and his guys did radio and movies, and uniforms and posters, with speeches cults and clubs.  Hitler Youth and sex for citizen production clubs sortah like the Boy Scouts were done.

I seem to fail to give a lot of speeches, but am working on getting a few at least out on YouTube or somewhere.  Eventually here in semi archaic Transcendia.org. Had two editions of the flag.  IT IS A GREAT FLAG, and we need to make more of them, bigger, and up at airports.  I need to show the flag more, like I did at Dag Hammerskold Plaza.  There were also the MESSAGE ROCKET LAUNCHES of ROC, and LGA.  JFK works too.  You know you can just put an airport identifier on your snail mail letter, and the US Post Office knows what you mean.  I use IGX all the time.  People know how to find me.  I think I'm now also listed in the phone book.  I love that movie The Jerk.

Anyway years ago I wanted to make a business of billboards painted flat on the airport fields seen best at landing or take off.  I thought it was an unexploited billboard opportunity I could make some money from.  I seem to have too many ideas to make any money from any of them.

What I started out to say was that Transcendia is the soul of Aerotroplis.   The review of John D. Kasarda, and Greg Lindsey's book, Aerotopolis says soul is missing from their vision.  Well I've got that covered.  I even understand why they missed that, since it is an inherent strength of the airport that it is culturally neutral, to a great degree.  The Frequent Flyer programs echo the early days of the passenger log book.

It is cool really to log all your airtime either way.  Too bad Hitler was a mud soldier instead of a pilot aye?  Yah gottah wonder why smart guys want to hate people and kill. Enhancing Civilization is really more fun, in my opinion.  I suppose it is a reason for my love of physics and engineering.  Have a car, here's a highway kids, go fast.

Apparently IKE was pretty impressed with the autobawn.

It is not right on airports for women to be mistreated.  It is a soulfull reverse of jew and less robotic perfections hatred imagined to fight for women's rights.  Your culture may well be flawed and not allowed on international airports, in Transcendia, if it is bent towards mistreatment of girls.  One of the finest things women can do is carry the family name equally as men.

Where was I?  Oh yeah, saying of the Aerotroplis I was the man.  Transcendia is the soul of it, for it has a flag, I have a uniform, I have a passport.  There is some art…

Gottah do a poster.  Checklist thing.  TV has been done, but a new push required.

Far as where I live I've done the IGX campaign, and not fully lost, just not won as much.

Since Dr. Kasarda works in town at Kenan Institute I am local enough for IGX to be a place to meet, and move forward from in tandem.  Hey, I got soul!

US Education Funding Idea

I've been trying to figure out where to get money from taxes for US schools.  I had an idea last night.  Maybe later this idea will be applied in Transcendia.  Who knows maybe in the whole world!  Transcendia seeks to be so perfect as to become desirable to take over by either DisneyLand, asthma or the UN, vcialis 40mg or a combination of the two.

I myself started working when I was 11 delivering newspapers.  This job was outside somehow taxation.  It was when I worked as a camp counselor at Camp Cherokee, that I got my first W2, and filed my first tax forms.  I don't know what youths really get to do for work these days.  My sister worked for some burger chain.  I suppose many do work legally for McDonalds, or maybe mow lawns.

Some children work in motion picture and television as actors.  Those kids can make a great deal of money.  There are serious regulations about what they can do, not do, and attention is paid to there education.  There are probably some good lessons that could be applied to proper treatment of working youth there.  We ought not go around re inventing the wheel everytime there is a serious problem come to some sort of head.

If after WWII all had won forever the benefits of the GI Bill far as education was concerned in the US, we wouldn't be having some of the crisis in the US, far as education, and the strength it provides for a nation.  But the situation is different from that dream, ideal, that really really worked, but now seems to have faded away.

I consider my own education actually excellent except in math.  Possibly Pi is really helpful because it is math, not arithmetic.  Further much of my education has been self directed, and was gifted by experiences of going to school in many different sorts of environments, cities, towns, and suburbs.  I lived and worked in the experimental college of Toronto, Rochdale College, which had profound influence on me.  I also went to Monroe Community College for Audio Visual Technology, which served me well enough.  In that case I actually went there as an artist who was self directed and only wanted really to know how to use the tools available to make my art.

I still use crayons.

Anyway there is not a complete and perfect organized path to the full education of any individual.  Still it takes money to live, and that is an education in itself.  Where ought the money come from?  Where is it right for it to come from in this baffling and imperfect world?

It is not that baffling really to recognize that it is the duty of adults to protect and nourish the young.  Youths are allowed to work at certain jobs in the US and in other nations.  Sometimes they are forced to work, and ripped off.  I get real upset knowing of terrors perpetrated through really evil ideas about the way to treat girls.  I wish more women carried guns for their own protection.  At least in Transcendia I might decree they carry pepperspray, and the like.

Guns are an awful lot of work to carry around actually.

But anyway I'm thinking that taxes paid by youths who it is the duty of adults to protect, and empower through education ought rightly be fully spent by the government on their education at the Federal, if not the State level as well.  I'm interested in what amount of money, tax dollars, are paid by those below the age of 18, and then 21.

Transcendian economic foundation is to come from buying Whole Life Insurance Policies for its youth, at birth, when it is cheap.  Maybe the Saudi King could do well to do that sort of thing instead of just handing out cash?

At head is the shift in power, and the reality of a One World Government, where all war is a Civil War.  "My past, is your future."  -is what the US can say.  States Rights are broken down, and breaking down for good reasons, since the US is really one nation, and States Rights are no longer working out.

Anyway my suggestion is that in the US taxes paid by working students are dedicated to education spending.  After they reach majority, well then they will see money spent on Defense too, but prior to that their taxable incomes will not be used for any weapons purchases, as it is legitimate for the adults to take care of that sort of responsibility.

Tools

I had a business to run once.  My main tool was insurance.  Without it I wasn't a real business.  I highly recommend youths buy Whole Life Insurance Policies with their allowances, generic or from whatever income they can get out of mowing lawns.

I do wonder what job opportunities exist anymore for youths these days.  My first job of any regularity was delivering newspapers.  That isn't so much at all much of an option for youths these days.

I know some youths who made fighting robots, and repaired or made musical instruments from an early age that seem to be doing all right.  I myself will pay youths to help me write on the computer.

People need food so I guess youths ought to stack up tires and grow potatoes in them.

I suspect the world is reverting back to what it was when we were illiterate savage animals.  Round here there is a need for deer killing.  Deer are traffic hazards.  Urban deer hunting is something the 13 year olds could be doing at dawn around here.  Probably they ought to use bows and arrows.  Deer hunting and potato growing may well be good jobs for youths locally, since newspaper delivery is a dying business around here.

I started working when I was 11.  I spent money on food and clothes and candy.  Too bad I didn't buy an insurance policy then.

I didn't get good financial advice.  My dad wasn't much interested anymore in killing, since he had only been a soldier involved in killing other people.  For soldiers there is a paycheck in being successful at killing other soldiers.  Course fact is killing deer, or pigs, or cows, may well be a better job, since other soldiers are more capable of shooting back.  They do sell soldiers insurance policies though.  Far as jobs go that are somewhat undeserving of good payouts for the insurance company, the job of killing people is right up there.

Mostly it seems youths go into the drug business, or computers.  Computer games are big.  Nice guys and their women from Mexico around here were doing all right building houses and buildings till that work ran out.

Whatever income I get comes from making either art, or furniture out of junk.

I'm thinking about going back into show business. 

Education/RSD

People need to know some things.  It is one of two major responsibilities for a government to provide good education.  In my experiences with Unions, therapy the bottom line was that Union workers were better workers than non union.  I frankly was proud that the union wanted me after working non union jobs.  Music Video jobs would twist my gut in knots over where my equipment was, unhealthy if somebody was going to get killed, medstore or I'd get the money.

Ripped all my fingernails off fretting one so bad I hadn't thumbnail enough to pick up a quarter.

Most people I know just want to do a good job at their job, and otherwise be left alone.

Teaching is one hard ass job really.  It is second in importance to the survival of the nation to defense.  Actually the two may well be of equal importance, but you do have to admit you have no country that you cannot defend.  If you are ignorant, you may sometimes still be lucky.

Anyway maybe yah gottah put up with toll roads, or gambling, and maybe hurt people who are corrupt and steal from the public, but you have a duty if you know a twit about what government is supposed to do, to at least support education.

It is likely that we can look at in the US those that have fought for the Pell Grant, and those that work to diminish it, and draw a line.

NC is as strong as it is due to agile Community Colleges.

Far as the US is concerned, I myself am for a percapita level of spending, and see variances in schools far as the money, so tied to local property taxes, as not the right way to go.  Have we got a country or what?  What's up with States Rights if States Rights is about keeping some of the citizens Ignorant and Superstitious!  My schools are Flight Schools.  I don't need to do propaganda.

I confess, when I wanted to go to another school, I just went there.

Grew up sort of wild without much money so Boy Scout Camp was about as close to Boarding School as I got before a scholarship cause of poems.  I've had a scholarship to a very high level Executive Workshop even late as an adult, for my poems.

Poetry otherwise hasn't been a big money maker.  Still over in Arab countries poets are highly regarded.  Over there they are murdered, while here we are just marginalized and starved.

It would take me awhile to fully explain the last paragraph.

Anyway I do believe factual education is to be second to defense for spending and abhor any who diminish that.

It is terrible for me to live in a paradise that hates its airport.  I'm well educated about the realities of life and just don't understand how the University doesn't seem to get it.  The liberal education is supposed to be about balance.  One is supposed to know how to actually get from A to Be.

I wish that I had had to opportunity to have flown with Horace Williams.  He sure has made a point about balanced education, far as I see it.

Anyway I have to sign off now.  Sorry I haven't completed and tied it all up by saying where the money is to comefrom comfortably.  Maybe you can figure it out.

Exile Island/RSD

Muammar al-Qaddafi has not been made the most sensible offer I know of, ailment far as I know.  That would be Exile Island.

I had some wonderful correspondence with Andre` Lewin of the French UN Association concerning Points for Reinvention of the UN.  One of those points is Exile Island like Elba was for Napoleon.  I made the point that Transcendia, the nation of airports could well take up the exile option, as it is essential a system of island airports.

Hell when despots finally leave town they typically go to the airport anyway.  Most even despots know how to act at the airport.  Shuffle 'em off to Disneyland forever.  Not like some of them ever got around to the real world.  I mean I want my country to be attractive to join.

There are some very attractive things about living on the airport.  This is especially true if we want to advance women's rights.  I've not visited all of the great airports of the world, but suspect open persecution of women is not generally tolerated in international airport confines, which tend to run according to international standards of behavior.

My experiences of what I call well civilization have been a gift to me.  Most markedly from state to state most similar on airports.  I also lived in a zenith city of civilization, NYC.  On airports or in NYC I ran into randomly old friends from all over, or made new, sometimes of right fleeting common experience to be shared.

I do not terribly lament urbanization.  The Fuel Farm worked for me as I went in circles fueling airplanes and reading books.  An International lending library system on international airports is entirely workable, though I'd hate to put airport book and magazine stores at any disadvantage.

Where was I?  Oh, I was postulating that Exile as was accorded such a character as Napoleon can be a best case thing when it is time for a leadership change.  I suggest that the International community of nations put the option forward to Muammar al- Qaddafi.  He could at least salve his ego by recognizing it happened to Napoleon too. 

Things to Do

Prior postings this month disappeared.  Possibly they can be retrieved via Internet Archives in about 6 months.  Otherwise I have to retype, vialis 40mg rewrite them from paper print outs.  I am grateful that the webmaster has fixed the problem.

Sometimes I read about crazy people with large followings, symptoms or individuals like the Unabomber, health and am thankful I'm not crazy.

In fact I am certified sane, since my sanity was seriously challenged in the courts during my divorce.

Due to a number of semi predictable events I have been caused to review my life and work.  Some of it stands up pretty well over time.  The rule is look at a poem after it has aged for a year at least.  On this site I was doing pretty good in 2005.

Starting in 2007 I got addicted to writing on CR4.  Finally I was banned from that place in December 2010.  Actually I believe there was some misunderstanding, but then again acknowledge that there was also some real conflict with the controlling administration.  Overall it is an interesting cyberworld political event.

My friends there above the neck did produce a White Paper about building in Haiti.

I am terrible in that I don't want to live in disaster prone areas.  Visits are okay.  LA is tempting, or was.

I did drift around and know well how valuable the real estate is where I currently live.  Still I do get big ideas about this small place that are tailored as appropriate to it.  I am specifically talking about a little airport in Orange County North Carolina controlled by the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.  No Airport signs all over the place were so numerous before the economic crash you might rename the county No Airport County.

Ironically Dr. Kasarda of Kenan Enterprise Institute argues for Aerotropolis from offices about 2.5 miles from IGX, or Horace Williams airport.  The University controls this land by legacy, though not law.  Dr. Kasarda did not help out at all with IGX.  In the end the little airport is simply not run right.

It may well be best as a Pocket Airport for the community served well by the big airport RDU over there in Wake County, but that doesn't mean my little airport ought to be badly run, and killed off in a land grab by academics on fad boondoggle building tracks.

My thing to do now is put out old videotapes of Transcendian video productions that at least confirm my storied conflicts, or comedic views of a difficult life I hope to inspire others to make easier.

Oh to be gifted with flowery gab.  Sometimes I don't have it.

Just barely hanging on, okay for today.

Victory is just around the corner. 

Driving

I really used to love to drive, buy but don't anymore.  I did have a great deal of driving skill which did turn into more like strategic operations, than skill operations.  I have trouble turning my head anymore.  The arthritis in my neck is inhibiting.  It would be easy for me to back over you in a parking lot.

Anyway since I have noticed that people drive as fast as the posted speed limit will allow, with no regard for weather conditions I get off the super highways, especially in rain.  I take a slower route.

When there seems to be something wrong with the car, I take a slower route.

In my driving career I've never been stuck all that long, but I have been stuck.  I have had to get out and walk, so I never treat a car or truck as clothing.  Some people do that. I think it is a very bad idea.

Trick is to take the best route for the conditions in the vehicle you got, or hire a cab, or call a friend with a better vehicle, or stay home. 

Traveled RDU to LIT Undressed

The number two US Air terminal at RDU is awesome pretty and manly nice to women too.  My wife liked it while I tried to remember the names of rigging things.  I had intended to get some pictures of the place but my camera battery died and I only got some pictures of CLT, sale Charlotte.

During the recent trips I have been flown as known and flown as unknown.  I kept having to undress as an unknown.  I have problems getting dressed because of my arthritis and having to undress a lot in the normal course of a day of travel is a real pain in the ass enough for me to wish some shoe bomber had never been born.

I got throughly searched and felt up, adiposity patted down in Charlotte NC.  At RDU they didn't make me take off my suspenders, so at CLT I didn't and then I got patted down in public.  I chose public since going into a private room for it all was another time waster.

Way out start even right we missed the flight, and had to get another.

Somebody was caused to shed some tears.

"Guess what kids, it's War Time."
