Common Knowledge,

      And Common Sense are not the same thing.   It is surprising if you know about something how much of what you read about it is wrong.

     Do not believe everything you read, or hear, even from me, for I have been wrong about the truth because I believed what I was told or read before I experienced it.

      What would you do if you were spit on?

      The Islamist are reacting to the cartoons of Mohammed as I might if I was spit on.

      The fact is I have been cartooned and I did not punch the guy that made the cartoon, but took it from him, and have it in my briefcase which contains things to first look at when I am dead or if I get killed tomorrow without notice.

       I think I have been civilized and this is sort of equivalent to a pocket veto.

       I just said, "That’s very good, may I have it?"

       Actually I found it very insulting as a distortion of my ideology, but I knew he was after a girl I liked and had done his best to make me uglier than himself.

       He was a Chiropracter, and I was a writer writing my first novel at the time.

       It turned out to be a novella, and I can’t find it in the house since the last move.

       Really cartoons can hurt.   I understand that.

       But if you can’t take it, don’t dish it out.

       I actually am a cartoonist of some merit, and you can look at Daddy Drives a Taxi on my website for the evidence of my ablity to do that sort of work.

      The best resolution all around would be Cartoon Wars.

       Let the newspapers of all faiths and ideology fight it out in Cartoon Land, and let the rest of us be educated and entertained enough to live in peace with the ablity to buy the papers.

Political Scientists

       The academic political scientists that they put on the radio and on the tv these days fasinate me as kibbitzers whereas us real guys know we ought to make a speech or kill somebody.

      It is interesting who gets paid to talk.

      Actually I have gotten paid to talk on occasion.

      I spoke for MCI on a TV Commercial, and I have been a paid editorial writer at some point in my writing career.

       I cannot really decide which is more important; rigging or writing.

      Rigging is more important.

      Tools come first.

      It is not for me to decide, but for me to recognize.

      Let us devide tools into two categories.

      There are life tools, and death tools.

      A plow is a life tool, and a nuclear bomb is a death tool.

      Now, my father told me that I would not exist if it were not for the atomic bombs that ended the war with Japan.

      He did not believe that he would survive after his combat across Germany.

       My Great Uncle survived four years in the South Pacific, so you never know, you might be luckier than you think, but still I felt my luck running out as far as a complete dependence on motorcycles and understand that if you can’t quit the results are more assured.

      Actually we do need to build nuclear power plants as a group, since we need all the energy we can get online as soon as possible.

      The direction of the tools to be made from the energy is the key to our survival through the bottleneck.

       It will be an impossiblity if we do not make nuclear weapons universally illegial.

Koreans Eat Dogs

      Koreans eat dogs and are hungry so the US, denture which has a dog surplus is thinkng about sending dogs to North Korea.

   Actually Transcendia wonders if airplanes on their way to Korea would put dogs in the unpressurize compartments as dead dog gifts to Koreans, cialis who North and South typically eat dogs.

Time to make a sculpture of Mohammed and put it next to Ghandi in Union Square Manhattan New York City to Win the War for Everyone in the World would sin together to see it.

Peace Means Police/Working Class Corner series Letter:

by Russell Scott Day/1/16/2006

I can say that I was ahead of the New York Times and some others in my writings about the pivotal role police are playing, have played, and will more play.

       Today the New York Times did give a report of the police in Iraq.

       I was sorry to not see a more full description of whom the police are concentrating on protecting.

       Still a rise in consciousness as to the role of the police is a good thing.

       In my previous letters I have said that at this time police in Iraq ought to be protecting infrastructure workers as a priority.  I believe that they must work from there from what I know about police work.

      When I did police work my first piority was to protect the building and I remember our confusion with a serious bomb threat for the 11th floor.

       What you need to remember is that Napolean was a military genius and always one circle is to look out and the other to look in.

       The insanity of the US is that it is always an internal home grown nut that gets to blowing people up or killing masses before foreigners.

       It is likely as far as I know of history and experience that there is in the United States some nut building an atomic bomb, as much as it is likely there is someone in Saudi Arabia trying to buy one to use on us.

      By us I mean the working classes who really wish there were war zones we could stay away from.

      In some earlier writing I suggest that the working classes hire through their Unions and insurance companies protectors regardless of their religious affiliation.

      I’m still with that idea I thought of and suggested.

      Just like I’m still with an International Minimum Wage.

      -which is more aptly to be called an International Living Wage.

      Really work has more honor than war.

      The police need to protect the workers and there is enough need to insure an international 100 percent employment for professional police and everyone else if the police were keeping the peace.

       This is the time of the need for a rise up of international professional police who ought to be engaged always with interpol to elimanate all nuclear weapons since such weapons are too much to handle on the street.

Nail Guns

       Nail guns are better than hammers, medstore though they need improvements.

       I have used a good variety of nail guns and bought for myself a Paslode Gas Powered Frame gun.

       If you could make a nail gun the size of a hammer that could shoot a nail anywhere of any size that was the size of a regular old hammer, viagra and was quiet, you would improve working conditions for carpenters, and save their ears.

       I imagine a nail gun that was like a stick with a cylindrical revolver sort of nail load that would shoot any nail and was powered by either gas cyclinders or CO2 sorts of propellants without a firing pin to minimize the noise.

      Sabot barrel gun sticks, and cylinder magazines are recommended for nail gun sticks because winding the nails would allow more nails to be compacted into smaller space.

      Making nail guns more like pistols and rifles is possible and I am thinking about it.

      The adjustable Sabot Barrel is important to co-ordinate with the nail cylinders of different sized nails.

       I am thinking about it.

Everybody I know is Unhappy

       I know a good number of good people.   There is a pall on us all.

       We are doing alright in that we have jobs and have had lives and are used to regular amounts of pain from our backs or sadness over tragedies we have read about or seen stories of on the tv.

       I’ve slept in ditches and only been able somehow to give away bits of myself on holidays.

      Poverty is not being able to give more than not having for yourself.

      Paris Hilton is poor without fame.   It is interesting and admirable that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt want to be famous for working with the UN for Children as much as they wanted to be famous for being good actors.

       I only know them from what I have seen at the movies and in the papers.

       Still I am disturbed that I feel a pall over the minds of my humanity.

       Really we are alright and it is a good thing that we are offended by cartoons of Mohammed.   It is a sensible pall.

       It is the good thing and the bad thing that is the only hope there is going on in public since you can be sure that secretly there are killers out to really essentially end the world, kill us all because some of us like a good laugh and have some humor inspired by bad answers and doubt.

      Maybe I will live forever, but I really doubt it, for instance.

      And what is so great about virgins anyway?

      Now they have filled an empty worn out Russian spacesuit up with trash and put an antenna on its head and children are going to tune in to hear the voice of a robot child report the weather till it stops talking because it has fallen into the Earth and burned up.

      It is no wonder that we are all depressed when this is the happiest story on the radio.

      I suspect that the thing to do now is to send a ship up to get the stuffed doll and keep it from burning up as if it was symbolic enough to forstall us all from extinction.

Local Politics/Working Class Corner

Russell Scott Day

     The Presidential Candidate and former Senator has built a house not far from where one of my temporary wives and I built a house out of a barn.

     Frankly I was a bit miffed that he announced in New Orleans instead of here in Carrboro, or Chapel Hill.   At any rate at least he knows where to live since this is some of the greatest real estate in the world.

      I’ve paid close attention to Mr. Edwards campaigns, and he did take the time to write me a letter explaining why he would not support an end to the Drug War.

      My complaint with him on that issue is that he would not even agree to question flight physical doctors to find out how long from joint to joystick they would certify as legal for airplane pilots, same as the time from bottle to throttle, as is the case regarding alcohol.

     The United States since Viet Nam seems like nothing but a story of failed morality and wasted courage.

      It feels like the United States has come to export to the world its Drug War.

      The United States is more vulnerable to terrorist attacks due to its drug laws than is acceptable to practical realists trained in Sociology.

      The world is full of jobs and for some people smuggling is their job.

      I’ve known some smugglers and they can be dangerous people.

      Still it is one of those jobs that exists for some people and of course my smuggler is a hero, and yours is a dirtbag.

      As long as drugs in Afganistan are illegial there will exist a motive for smugglers to smuggle weapons and drugs, whereas if transporting and dealing in drugs was separated from weapons smuggling, the incentive for combining the two if removed, would more expose the operations that are most dangerous when Weapons of Mass Destruction are actually a real threat.

      If pot was legal, hell the Mexicans could stay home and grow that for the US market.

      Locally my wages are somewhat depressed by the Mexicans who at some point are simply younger and stronger than myself at this point in my life.

      As Working Class I know who my competitors are same as Mr. Edwards Esquire knows who his competitors for "The Office" are.

      I have suggested to the Mayor of Carrboro that the town ought to just issue Legal Work Status to vetted illegial immigrants since internationally work ought to be a legal activity regardless of your nation of birth.

      As a citizen of the US I still really have more in common internationally with all workers, than I do necessarily with the rich of my citizenship who live off their money.

      It really is a bit of a drag to be a poor Episcopalian.

      Chapel Hill has been working on a 10 year plan to elimanate Homelessness.

      Now Homelessness is pretty extreme poverty in my opinion and I’ve actually been homeless enough to know a few significant things about it.

      Hence it is that I have suggested that one component of the effort to elimanate Homelessness be a Tool Room for the storage of the tools of the homeless.

      I will be interested in Mr. Edwards support or lack of, for this suggestion locally.

      I am aware that Mr. Edwards has married well and this does recommend him as a neighbor.   Everyone I know who has met Mrs. Edwards says she is very gracious.

      I will be interested in her opinions as concerns her neighborhood and its initiatives locally caused by international and nation policies that hurt the working classes.

      Socioligist report that 70 percent of the homeless have jobs and they are therefore Working Class.

      As far as the Homeless for Carrboro and Chapel Hill to end homelessness, Chapel Hill and Carrboro have to decide that they want the homeless.

      Every plan and program that aims to end homelessness will fail if the Town or City does not really want to make itself attractive for the homeless to live in.

     As flawed as I see the state of things in the United States today, I cannot forget the wisdom of what is on the Statue of Liberty,  Give us your Poor, your Downtrodden…

      Such Pragmatism is honor to William James the great American Philosopher that ought to be more followed by the Americans.     

Smart Managers Hire People That Are Better Than They Are At Their Job than they are at the job of Managing.

       If I could hire a Police Force to straighten out Iraq or Sudan, I would be interviewing Costa Ricians.

       I would be hiring Mafia guys and Costa Rician Police to deal with what are generally called "insurgents".

       I would call the "insurgents", "Islamic Fundamentalist", and just deal with it.

       Certainly the Old Testament and the Koran have the equivalent wrathful sort of God.

        If I had a show to call up for talking head guests I’d be putting Sam Harris, John Loftin, and whomever they would want on their debate team up against the Islamist.

      This is a time of TV War since it is the most powerful pen, and I would go as far as it took with the mind war that is the tv war to win for the working classes who know war interfers with their work.

       The Unions that exist really ought to certify a list of Mercenary Companies that they will work for or hire.

       The Police in New York have been at war with the Mafia for a long time and it is certain that this is the model for success where peace is achieved between opponents who are directed by motives that are in opposition with one commonality.

      In the case of the Mafia, their work is to do their job, which is crime, and the cops is for them to do their job, which is to stop the crime.

       The commonality of corruption is met in the laws that cause each side to collude until the Peace is disturbed by war noticed by the general public.

      Too many people live in a Fantasy world.

      When Prayer will cut the board infront of me, I will likely be dead or dreaming.

       Life is really so rare in the universe that it may well be true that insects have souls.

       My soul for yours is the apparently the bargin.

       When a set of virus kills a cow it is not unimaginable that they make up over the experience in heaven.

       Russia and the United States and Japan and Germany and Holland and Great Britain, and France haven’t gone to war against each other in awhile and seem to have discovered a common enemy.

      The Infrastucture Defense Team would be a good name for the Transcendian Mercenary Force Inc.. Don’t you think?

       Damn, it is the truth that the first job I had out of High School was as a Security Guard for Rochdale College.

       I thought I was destined to be a writer and a filmmaker, but maybe I ought to be a cop.

                                                                         Love, Scott Day
