And a nice addition to the story:
“New York State Senator Carl Kruger has attempted to bring a similar ban to New York, which would also prohibit talking or using iPods while walking or running”
If something happens to the video, here’s the source link.
Kind of insane. I can’t imagine how pissed off people in places like Japan get upon hearing crap like that.
Thanks for sharing that before it was (so quickly) taken down. (f-ing IP nonsense.) Luckily I grabbed both versions before they disappeared. If they don’t pop back up somewhere and someone wants to see them, lemme know and I’ll put them somewhere.
Make sure your water is safe.
Anyone want to take a shot at this fool?
Hehe
A bank employee, who is a subscriber to the EPJ Daily Alert, was explaining to her boss about the EPJ view and how the business cycle is dependent on what the Federal Reserve does as far as money printing and that there was one big splurge of money printing, 20% plus, at the end of last year and that it had slowed to 6% since, which is why we now have a sluggish economy, after the earlier boom.
Not quite enough of a slowdown in money printing to crash the economy, but enough to make it sluggish.
Her boss responded, “Economists most of the time don’t know what they are talking about.” She then walked into a meeting with him where he repeated to the group verbatim what she had just told him about the economy.
“By denying consistent behaviour Mr. Armstrong no doubt makes the theory more realistic, but at the same time he destroys much of its usefulnes”
How would you make the tradeoff between realism and usefulness? Or wait, how can something be less realistic but more useful…
How Stone Age Man Invented the Art of Raving
This picture of ancient British bacchanalia has been created by researchers led by Professor Alasdair Whittle of Cardiff University and Dr Alex Bayliss of English Heritage. Using a revolutionary technique for dating ancient remains, they have built up a detailed chronology of the first farmers’ arrival in Britain and have shown that agriculture spread with dramatic rapidity. In its wake, profound social changes gripped the country, culminating in the construction of causewayed enclosures where chieftains or priests held revelries to help establish their power bases.
Until recently, archaeologists had an imprecise knowledge of the timing of agriculture’s arrival in Britain. “We knew the first long-barrow chambers, often used for communal burials, and the first causewayed enclosures appeared not long after the first farmers started taking over the land from existing hunter-gatherer tribes,” said Bayliss. “But we thought these processes took hundreds of years. In fact, they took about a tenth of that. Armed with this precise sequence, we can understand the social and political revolution that happened with agriculture’s arrival.”
[…]
The first farmers arrived in Britain from France and appeared in Kent around 4050BC. At first, agriculture spread very slowly — by 3900BC farming had only reached the Cotswolds. Then it went through a period of explosive growth. Within 50 years it had spread across almost all of mainland Britain, reaching as far as Aberdeen. “Presumably a critical mass of farming folk had arrived in Britain while our native hunter-gatherers had seen the game was up and turned to agriculture and a sedentary way of life,” said Whittle.
Maybe F4M needs to take a look at this.
Oh you mean the anti-technology guy who just went on the Internet and posted a video about the latest water filtration machine?

I would not have believed it if i did not see it. Today in the Evening Standard which is the free newspaper that everyone in London UK reads on the way home. An article by Tim Evans from the Adam Smith Institute on privatizing the police.
Public sector police are resisting cuts, one set of departments that are extra difficult to reduce, due to the sheer power of the entities.
How is it even possible to cut the likes of the Home Office or DHS. They are powerful entities that practically manipulate the government and legislator to their own advantage.
One sign says “cuts are criminal” how do you even deal with public sector workers who have this sort of mentality?
Oh you mean the anti-technology guy who just went on the Internet and posted a video about the latest water filtration machine?
For the sake of not watching his videos I don’t plan to watch that video, but I see it’s Alex Jones, the same guy who water boarded iPad’s, so I’m starting to get mixed messages with what’s going on here. Water board the iPad’s to make a point, BUT MAKE SURE IT’S CLEAN FILTERED WATER. How you going to hunt and gather while dragging one of those units around?
Oh don’t get me wrong…I didn’t watch the video. I was just assuming the title and the freeze frame were accurate representations of the content.
As to your question, I’m still trying to figure out how one is supposed to hunt and gather without technology. Especially when one has an apparent biological need to go on the Internet and tell people about it.
BIG NEWS:
New evidence suggests Obama born in Kenya
Yeah…check out the other piece of interesting info in the update…
Breitbart.com discovers a 1991 promotional brochure from Obama’s literary agents in which his bio starts like this:
Barack Obama, the first African-American president of the Harvard Law Review, was born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia and Hawaii…
The site disclaims “birtherism,” but does note that the Obama identity has been carefully constructed, sometimes in different ways, and needs to be explored.
UPDATE from a friend in the know:
The bio is interesting for another, even more important reason: It mentions his employment with Business International Corporation, a known CIA front organization.
I need a new headline for this post: “Obama Born in Kenya? Who knows? Obama a CIA operative like his mother? Definitely.”
