The Analogue Reader: Freedom by Jonathan Franzen

Hospital Miguel Bombarda: Where the Freedom Ended
This is not an article about freedom. It's about a security panopticon inside a psychiatric hospital in Lisbon. I like to think the patients were free in their own minds, so maybe this is a bit about freedom. -
PIcture This: The Freedom of Flying
I've always loved flying, because in my opinion it's also a symbol of freedom. It's something that we've always tried to do from Leonardo da Vinci's time, and it's something that we will never be able to do on our own, but it still embodies the complete freedom of movement. -
Picturing Freedom: What is it?
Last month, Lomography asked us to picture Freedom. What exactly is freedom? I could say traveling (well, it's a big part of it), but I guess for me there's a little bit more than that. -
Picture This: Freedom
Man belongs to nature. Nature makes part of our nature. Inspirational nature gives me the true feeling of freedom. Freedom is naturally a man's need. So, nature has a strong relation with freedom. -
Picture This: Freedom
Whenever I see birds flying around, I think of freedom. I wish I was one of those birds to fly freely through the immensity of the sky, with no obligations, no destination, light as a feather. To have the sky as the limit, literally. -

Hi Peter, i am looking for a high-end, soft mattress, a luxurious type that one "sinks into" yet offers the appropriate amount of support. my list of aches and pains is somewhat short, albeit lower back pain (and sometimes hip) is beginning to be evident. I am 67.5 inches, 139 lbs. I have been looking at the Stearns & Foster Silver Dream Ultra Plush and some of the Aireloom models (Super Featherbed), and have an interest in looking at the Hastens. I wanted to know if there were other brands that i should be looking at that would deliver the same attributes and at perhaps the next lower price point. Thanks much.
Hi Julia, You don't normally hear people refer to their height in inches. My mother still refers to my age in months, like when I was little. I'm 665 and a half months old. (If you're not laughing, it's not my fault...that's a good one). The Stearns & Foster Marsielle Cathedral is a level 9, three levels below the Silver Dream. It has the same construction with an ultra plush top. It's a much better value.

Good afternoon everyone! Last week I got some 3" potted heuchera's and immediately re-potted them in 6" pots. Now i'm not really sure what to do with them... I am overwintering a bunch of peppers, so, should I let them stay with the peppers to help them grow a little before spring? Or, since they are perennials, should I put them in the garage so they can go into hibernation? I have a few container hostas in there now... This is the first time I purchased plants so late in the season, so i'm not really sure how to proceed... thank you! |
Follow-Up Postings:
I am over wintering a couple of potted heuchera in my unheated garage. This is my first year doing so, so I'm hoping it will work. I plan on checking mine to be sure they don't dry out, at the same time being careful they are not soggy either. I have over wintered potted hosta like this for several winters and plan to treat the heuchera in a similar manner. I assume they will go dormant when the really cold weather sets in and is here to stay. Hopefully someone will chime in with heuchera experience. |
- Posted by Rock_n_Ruf 5 (My Page) on Fri, Nov 30, 12 at 18:32
I am sure yours will be fine! With mine, I'm just afraid with them being so young... I'm not sure what will happen. I'm sure I'm just being overly protective of the new additions! |
I can relate to your feeling protective over the newbies. I've read that heuchera need to dormancy to bloom their best, but I understand that you just want them to survive the winter. If you do overwinter like a house plant, be sure the humidity in your home isn't too dry. As a suggestion, how do you feel about experimenting a couple of different ways? Maybe grow one like a houseplant, one in the unheated garage and one outside. The one outside would be protected against the house with leaves around the pot for insulation. If you site it under an overhang that would help protect it from excess rain/show etc. Or tip the pot after it freezes, like some do hosta in pots outside... Anyhoo, good luck with your new babies. They will probably surprise you by how well they'll do overwinter. |
I have bought heuchs late in the season and I have also divided them late in the season. I carried them through the winter by I heeling the pots into my garden. I dug down far enough so that the rims of my pots were at ground level, but did not cover the crowns of the plants. In the spring, I just planted my plants out in my garden. Every heuchera I have done this with, I had no problems - they all made it through the winter beautifully. Good luck to you. |

"Very good soup. Tastes like chicken! After trying many, many chicken soup recipes, I've seen that you just can't make good chicken soup quickly.

Pyra Gorgon hasn't visited any places yet.
I am into puerh teas: raw & cooked, aged or ripened. A good friend of mine sent me a sample of a puerh tea and I fell in love. Before that time, I really only drank black teas, and those were iced! Obviously I was tea challenged.
Puerh teas are very unique, I've found. I have even had different tastes come from the same beeng cha! Mostly my collection is ripe (cooked) puerh from Yunnan region only. I intend to branch out my tasting horizons into raw puerhs, and if I can afford them, some aged raw puerhs. (the really good ones tend to be pricey, like over $50 for a tea cake pricey)
I do enjoy a good oolong or cuppa black tea, but mostly my enjoyment and passion is for puerh teas.

Some of Father David's 505 Orphan Children with medical and physical disabilities below
Important Note: The Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to Father David in a stunning dream in her most powerful role as Our Lady Mediatrix of All Graces. The Mother of God was holding Mary's Way unique, All-Protecting 12-Way Scapulars in her outstreached hands to Father - which he has never seen before.
Father told his spiritual director in the Vatican of this stunning dream. He also told Francis the Director of Mary's Way Apostolate of the dream and that "many miracles will come through these Scapulars!" This directed Father David to help Mary's Way Apostolate in every way he possibly could.
In very grateful return for this, the founder and director of Mary's Way Worldwide Apostolate does everything he can to help Father David, his orphanages, orphan children, and monastery through the Masses, Medals, and Relics offered by Father David to raise funds for his Orphanages and his 505 Orphan Children.
By the Graces of God, through Our Lady Mediatrix of All Graces, Father David is also the Personal Spiritual Director of Francis Slinsky the Founder and Director of Mary's Way Worldwide Apostolate.
(See our Home Page Drawings, the top Gold Bar Categories, our Shop Pages, the top line "CLICK HERE TO LEARN ALL ABOUT FATHER DAVID..." the Miracle-working Capuchin priest who Saint Padre Pio and the Blessed Virgin Mary appears to.)

Greatest gift I could give my family!!!
I just would like to know how and when Father David says the Masses so that I can be praying with him :)
Posted by Nick on 2nd Nov 2014
I placed my order on 20 Oct for 1460 Masses and it is only 1 Nov and I see a difference in me and my family.
Posted by Unknown on 20th Sep 2014
We ordered the scapulars and the masses. Healing sand prayers were answered immediately. Additionally, a year later, when the masses were concluded, our most sought after intention, thought to be impossible, was answered. Praise God.

We in the Catholic Faith, benefit more from the Prayers that are said for us, more than the Prayers are said after we die. These Prayer will get us into Heaven. We must Have Jesus, Mary & Joseph in our lives every day. Watch what happen's when these Masses and Prayers are said for us. We will be on Fire for the HolY Spirit.

To maximize the effectiveness of your solar energy system, you need to know how it is performing. A Kipp & Zonen pyranometer accurately measures the solar radiation available to your system in real time. Comparing this with the power generated allows you to calculate the efficiency of the system. A drop in efficiency indicates the need for cleaning, ageing, or a fault, allowing you to schedule preventive maintenance and to monitor your return on investment.

IP-based Audio Distribution
Save money by keeping an eye on this changing market
4G and other options
A few stations are lucky enough to be located in cities chosen for early deployment of 4G Wimax services, and are having good success on these networks. Wimax offers higher throughput and lower latency and jitter than 3G networks, providing a "wire-like" experience to users. Deployment has slowed during the economic rough patch, but some of the cities on the roadmap for 2009 include Chicago, Dallas and Philadelphia. Verizon is leading the charge with deploying the main 4G competitor to Wimax, called LTE, and plans to have a handful of cities online by the end of 2009.
Another attractive network for IP codecs is the Inmarsat BGAN network, which utilizes portable satellite terminals that are ever decreasing in cost and size. The BGAN network also sports a per-minute cost for a codec-capable IP channel that is a fraction of what previous generation satellite networks charged. With BGAN, worries about coverage are non-existent, as long as a reasonable view of the sky in the direction of the nearest satellite is achieved. And the terminals can be set up in minutes by non-technical users.
Some manufacturers have introduced simple, low-cost versions of their IP codecs, and these products mate well with the new breed of inexpensive IP point-to-point radios. Many of these work in the relatively uncongested 5.8GHz unlicensed band, and carry enough bandwidth to provide full-duplex uncompressed audio links. Several brands are available in weather-proof packages with built-in directional antennas and cost less than $500 per end. These make an attractive alternative for cross-city links, or even for extending IP access to non-wired locations.
Migration to IP audio can save money as well as offer new choices in the way audio is shipped for remotes, STLs and other real-time links. As the demand for mobile data increases, so will these choices. It's wise to keep an eye on this changing market when considering solutions.

Payday loans are very useful and beneficial by default but they are getting a bad name because people often fail to repay these loans, as a result of which they apply for another loan in order to pay off the first one; but then they end up defaulting on this new loan as well, thus creating a vicious cycle! Thus, payday loans are not bad by default but it is the misuse or abuse of such loans by ignorant loan borrowers that makes them appear bad. If you find yourself stuck with numerous pending payday loans and you wish to get out of the situation effectively without incurring more debts then the best way of doing so would be to consolidate payday loans under your name.
If you thought that you could get a payday loan in order to pay off your old debts and sustain your current needs then you should immediately drop the idea because it never works that way! By taking new loans in order to repay the old, you will only be spiraling down the problem further and pull yourself further away from the goal of achieving relief from your debts. There are a lot of people who are in desperate need of loan consolidation services, however, they are ignorant about this option or they are not aware of where to start.
Well, if you want to gadcapital consolidate payday loans in order to help yourself get out of the messy situation then you should approach a reputable loan consolidation company. This is a smart step towards pursuing financial stability because it allows you to merge all your debts into a single loan with repayment terms that are favorable and acceptable to you. The loan consolidation company would be responsible for speaking to your creditors in order to get the late fees or penalties excused and to negotiate a better deal with lower installments. Thus, you can easily pay off this new loan and protect your credit score from experiencing some heavy damage!
One of the top reasons why people seek loan consolidation services is because they get to enjoying repaying the loan at an amount that is appreciably lesser than the amount required to be paid to one's creditors in the absence of intervention from such professionals. Of course in return for the useful services offered by the loan consolidation company, you will need to pay a certain amount of fees, but it is totally worthwhile!
By going for loan consolidation services you will be able to experience peace of mind because all the debts that you are facing currently would be combined into a single loan whose repayment terms and amount are lesser than the sum of the repayment amounts of all the defaulting loans under your name. Apart from saving serious money, you will also be able to improve your credit rating with this kind of solution. A poor credit score is not only embarrassing but demeaning as well, which is why it makes sense to not carry on with your current defaulting payday loans but rather have them consolidated so that you can pay them off comfortably. Check more information at Bloomberg.com
Even though the solution of consolidating payday loans is very useful, a lot of people make the mistake of not consolidating their loans fast enough, thus making this type of service lose its essence and effectiveness. If you feel that you are not going to be able to make the payment for your payday loan the next month then you should seek loan consolidation services right away. Waiting till the eleventh hour in order to adopt such a solution will only spell disaster for you. A stitch in time saves nine – this is indeed true in case of loan consolidation solutions!

Anonymous Backcountry Edge Customer 12/1/2012
Likes: These are heavy duty gloves for extreme cold weather- we used them in the Cascades while snow camping. A bit hard do work around the camp with these on- but the main reason we bought them was for warmth on the coldest nights and they did the job well.
Dislikes: Wish it were a bit easier to XC ski with these on.
Zoomify would go here, or a larger image... This is a temporary placeholder... The settup of this may change depending on whether we are in fact using Zoomify.
Rotate SWF would go here... Greg will reconfigure this after we have an actual example. This is just a place holder.

30cm Square Loose Based Cake Tin
I bought this last year to make a birthday cake for my son that's large enough for plenty of party guests & cake for family. This is a heavy tin & is excellent quality. I use cake release & have never had a cake stick or leak on me. Another fab product from Lakeland - only wish is for a cake box to transport finished cake in - please !
A note from the team: Thank you for placing your review. We're pleased you love this and have passed on your suggestion for a suitable cake box to our buying team. Thank you for your time and feedback.
"cake batter leaked everywhere
" by bridget
30cm Square Loose Based Cake Tin
i was excited when i got the cake tin for my daughters 1st birthday.when i put the cake batter in, it leaked everywhere as its a loose bottom. Because its really big there`s alot of batter.not happy at all.
A note from the team: Thanks for the review and taking the time to speak to me on the phone. I'm sorry that this hadn't worked for you. If making a sponge cake or anything that has a loose consistency we would recommend that you line the tin. However, we also recommend our PushPan baking tins in this instance? Although they are round, they may be suited to the customer as they do not have to be lined.
"Great success!

I have just baked my first fruit cake in this tin and it was perfect. Very good, even heat conduction. Delighted with the tin. Am now going to replace my 9" tin for one from the same series.

I'm BACK!
After an unexpected week long break from blogging I'm baacckkk! Did ya miss me?
Holy Tornado! I feel like I was picked up and spit out in a totally new location and actually that's kind of what happened. Yep, we've been moving. I packed the entire house myself, it took me literally like a week and then we got movers to move all our stuff.
After not having internet all last week (why does it always take so long to get internet?) I thought I was going to go nuts but I have to say it was kind of nice being able to sit down at night, enjoy some mindless television (Honey Boo Boo) and not worry about getting a post out. Not to mention I have gotten SO much done! The entire house is unpacked; I still have lots of organizing to do but at least all the boxes are gone and we are starting to settle in.
And then if that wasn't enough we were on an airplane to St. Louis for our friend's wedding 5 days after our move. My mom took Caden for the first night (she was randomly in town the same weekend) which was nice because we got to hang out in downtown St. Louis with our friends and let loose. Yes, I'm talking shots. WTH was I thinking? I am not 21 anymore.
We were suppose to get a sitter for the wedding as well but that fell through so CK ended up going to the wedding with us. Luckily it was outside and he had a blast just running around and petting the Donkey but boy is it different with a kid! The wedding was gorgeous and the bride and groom looked fantastic. We were really happy that we were both able to go under the circumstances.
Oh doesn't he look so sweet passed out on the airplane. Don't let that fool you!
So, yes it's been a crazy few weeks for us but we have really been enjoying our new place and Caden has never slept better. He's even been sleeping in till like 8am! It's amazing! Not to mention he just loves exploring all his new surroundings with his buddy.
So while Kala and Caden are enjoying their new views; Nate and I are enjoying ours as well!
Cheers to a new beginning!
Well, I'm off to continue getting our new house all put together; we have a very special visitor coming in a few days to visit all the way from Hawaii! We can't wait!

Congrats on the new home! Must be a perfect spot with a view like that- nice!!!
It's been way too long since we've seen you guys- Caden looks like a grown boy all of a sudden! No more baby =)
Congratulations on your move! Beautiful view! Are you still in North Carolina? Anyway, welcome back, I miss reading your posts.
So glad that you are back! Love reading about your adventures with your sweet family! Congrats on the move too!
Congrats! And congrats on surviving the move-moving is THE WORST Can't wait to see the new place
Awesome new house! And I totally agree on the WTH about shots…I made the same mistake a few months back and pretty much loathed my life the next day haha!

Rose Oil and Extracts
Although rose oil and extracts are produced from more than one species of rose, this review is totally devoted to Rosa damascena Mill., which is grown commercially in Bulgaria, Turkey and to a lesser extent, India and Morocco. Lindström and Jaquier (1993) analyzed a sample of Bulgarian rose oil to determine the enantiomeric distribution of a number of constituents.

my cardoon was growing so perfectly all winter. the leaves were huge and in early march it slowly began to fail and finally collapse. does anyone have and ideas. it did begin to have sooty mold and i did find lots of pill bugs around it.
i cleaned up all mulch around it and took out all dying and wilted leaves plus cut back all wilted leaves. perhaps should't have done that. the one photo shows the collapse, the red line around the cut back cardoon shows the stalk that had previously been hidden by huge leaves, about 2" around and 5" tall. anyone have any ideas as to what happened? i would add that the poor thing does seem to be firmly rooted - thought of digging up and potting it. either way i don't have much hope for this one. i'm really bummed out. ordered 2 new ones from forest farm. |

uh, oh; 2nd image not available. What is t=your USDA climate zone? Since it lasted as long as it did, may be after effects of cold damage. Too bad, as they are stunning. That said, sooty mold suggests it aphids, scale or mealybugs. The pillbugs were just cleaning up the mess. |

Ron Paul's exotic past tells us much about him, the GOP, libertarians – and about us
Summary: The Republican primaries, esp the latest chapter about Ron Paul, provide a feast of insights about our America. It's not a pretty picture, but important to know — and cheap, if we learn from this before the election.
- About the GOP
- About Ron Paul
- About us
- About libertarians
- Articles about Ron Paul and his newsletters
- For more information
(1) About the GOP
Donald Trump, Michelle Bachman, Rick Perry, Herman Cain, Newt Gingrich … and now they turn to Ron Paul. What does this tell us?
About the GOP, its leaders? Is this a sign of their desperate search for a right-wing candidate attractive to an increasingly foolish and ignorant electorate? Or does it show indifference to which puppet we elect (just like 2008 Obama vs. McCain, their knowledge that both would be in effect a third term for Bush Jr's policies)?
What does this tell us about the average Republican (ie, as reflected in the polls)? Their ignorance and willingness to be fooled by simple stories told by shallow imitations of statesman (as proven by their fast collapse under even the US media's light scrutiny)?
Some articles discussing these questions:
- "The Republicans' Farcical Candidates – A Club of Liars, Demagogues and Ignoramuses", Marc Pitzke, commentary in Der Spiegel, 1 December 2011
- "The Media's Deaf, Dumb, and Blind Campaign Coverage", Bob Garfield, The Atlantic, 21 December 2011 — "The most powerful segment of the political right has moved into fringe territory. Why has the press been largely silent on this?"
(2) About Ron Paul
This information (all available to the public since 2008) tells us much about the real Ron Paul. Not just the past, but today — as we see an old fashioned defense by this old politician (born 1935), making up increasingly bizarre explanations for the content of his newsletters. Highly profitable newsletters for a decade or more, but now he has amnesia about their contents — the racism, broad bigotry, and crackpot conspiracy theories. Paul might not have believed these things (grifters need not believe in their cons), but he at least pretended to do so for his personal profit.
- The Ron Paul Political Report: A Special Issue on Race Terrorism (15 June 1992) — Ugly statements
- Game Over: Scans of Over 50 Ron Paul Newsletters — Scores of ugly statements
- Transcript of Meet the Press on 23 December 2007 — Paul today would vote against the 1964 Civil Righs Act, and believes the Union should not have fought the Civil War.
- Ron Paul Personally Defended Racist Newsletters: Internview on Anderson Cooper 360 Degrees, CNN, 21 December 2011
- "15 Years Ago, Ron Paul Wasn't Claiming Somebody Else Wrote His Newsletters", David Weigel, Slate, 26 December 2011 — But he denies it now.
(3) About us
Our history since the Ford Administration shows our increasingly fondness for underqualified and fringe candidates for the Presidency — and perhaps at all levels of government. We have elected at least two grossly underqualified Presidents — Carter and Obama. Both were fine floats in our parade of American exceptionalism, but incompetent Presidents.
People often compare the current GOP candidates to those of the Democratic Party in 1988 (the "seven dwarfs", see Wikipedia). The comparison is spurious, as six of the "dwarfs" were experienced centrist politicians. The difference between the candidates of 1988 and today show the rapid deterioration of our collective understanding and judgement.
Now we take the next step — or begin to do so: acceptance of extremism. Typical people — often well-educated, intelligent and experienced — applaud Ron Paul because they like some of what he says. They close their eyes to the whole picture because they prefer the pretty picture in their minds to the reality. With this we crossing another red line into a new future. Crossing another red line.
(4) About libertarians
The libertarian political movement, like all political movements, consists of multiple strands working together. In the GOP, as in its libertarian component, that's an alliance between social conservatives, small government conservatives, economic conservatives, and neoconservatives (using "conservative" in as a modern political classification, not in terms of classical philosophy). As with all alliances, they work together for common goals, overlooking large differences (eg, the US-Soviet alliance in WWII).
(a) The significant aspect of the Ron Paul newsletters — and one obscured by libertarian apologia for them — concerns the role of two central figures in modern libertarian thought: Lew Rockwell (highly involved, probably as an author of many articles) and Murray Rothbard (far lesser involvement, possible occasional author). For details see "Who Wrote Ron Paul's Newsletters?", Julian Sanchez & David Weigel, Reason, 16 January 2008 — "Libertarian movement veterans, and a Paul campaign staffer, say it was "paleolibertarian" strategist Lew Rockwell." Excerpt:
Ron Paul doesn't seem to know much about his own newsletters. The libertarian-leaning presidential candidate says he was unaware, in the late 1980s and early 1990s, of the bigoted rhetoric about African Americans and gays that was appearing under his name. He told CNN last week that he still has "no idea" who might have written inflammatory comments such as "Order was only restored in L.A. when it came time for the blacks to pick up their welfare checks" — statements he now repudiates. Yet in interviews with Reason, a half-dozen longtime libertarian activists — including some still close to Paul — all named the same man as Paul's chief ghostwriter: Ludwig von Mises Institute founder Llewellyn Rockwell, Jr.
Financial records from 1985 and 2001 show that Rockwell, Paul's congressional chief of staff from 1978 to 1982, was a vice president of Ron Paul & Associates, the corporation that published the Ron Paul Political Report and the Ron Paul Survival Report. The company was dissolved in 2001. During the period when the most incendiary items appeared—roughly 1989 to 1994—Rockwell and the prominent libertarian theorist Murray Rothbard championed an open strategy of exploiting racial and class resentment to build a coalition with populist "paleoconservatives," producing a flurry of articles and manifestos whose racially charged talking points and vocabulary mirrored the controversial Paul newsletters recently unearthed by The New Republic. To this day Rockwell remains a friend and advisor to Paul — accompanying him to major media appearances; promoting his candidacy on the LewRockwell.com blog; publishing his books; and peddling an array of the avuncular Texas congressman's recent writings and audio recordings.
Rockwell has denied responsibility for the newsletters' contents to The New Republic's Jamie Kirchick.
(b) It's not just what happen decades ago. Ron Paul's past and current behavior shows the depth of the problem. "Paul Disowns Extremists' Views but Doesn't Disavow the Support", New York Times, December 2011 — Excerpt:
The libertarian movement in American politics has long had two overlapping but distinct strains. One, backed to some degree by wealthy interests, is focused largely on economic freedom and dedicated to reducing taxes and regulation through smaller government. The other is more focused on personal liberty and constraints on government built into the Constitution, which at its extreme has helped fuel militant antigovernment sentiment.
Mr. Paul has operated at the nexus of the two, often espousing positions at odds with most of the Republican Party but assembling a diverse and loyal following attracted by his adherence to libertarian principles.
In May, Mr. Paul reiterated in an interview with Chris Matthews of MSNBC that he would not have voted for the Civil Rights Act of 1964 outlawing segregation. He said that he supported its intent, but that parts of it violated his longstanding belief that government should not dictate how property owners behave. He has been featured in videos of the John Birch Society, which campaigned against the Civil Rights Act, warning, for instance, that the United Nations threatens American sovereignty.
In the mid-1990s, between his two stints as a Texas congressman, Mr. Paul produced a newsletter called The Ron Paul Survival Report, which only months before the Oklahoma City bombings encouraged militias to seek out and expel federal agents in their midst. That edition was titled "Why Militias Scare the Striped Pants Off Big Government."
An earlier edition of another newsletter he produced, The Ron Paul Political Report, concluded that the need for citizens to arm themselves was only natural, given carjackings by "urban youth who play whites like pianos." The report, with no byline but written in the first person, said: "I've urged everyone in my family to know how to use a gun in self-defense. For the animals are coming."
(c) James Kirchick explains how the Ron Paul candidacy highlights these dynamics within the libertarian movement: "Why Don't Libertarians Care About Ron Paul's Bigoted Newsletters?", The New Republic, 22 December 2011 — Excerpt:
To be sure, these figures, like the broader group of Paul enthusiasts, don't base their support on the Congressman's years-long record of supporting racism, homophobia, anti-Semitism, and far-right militias. Quite the opposite: Like the candidate himself, they manage to mostly avoid making any mention of his unsavory record at all. It's an impressive feat of repression, one that says volumes about the type of enthusiasm Paul inspires.
Ultimately, Paul's following is closely linked with the peculiar attractions of the libertarian creed that he promotes. Libertarianism is an ideology rather than a philosophy of government — its main selling point is not its pragmatic usefulness, but its inviolable consistency. In that way, Paul's indulgence of bigotry — he says he did not write the newsletters but rather allowed others to do so in his name — isn't an incidental departure from his libertarianism, but a tidy expression of its priorities: First principles of market economics gain credence over all considerations of social empathy and historical acuity. His fans are guilty of donning the same ideological blinders, giving their support to a political candidate on account of the theories he declaims, rather than the judgment he shows in applying those theories, or the character he has evinced in living them. Voters for Ron Paul are privileging logical consistency at the expense of moral fitness.
But it's not simply that Paul's supporters are ignoring the manifest evidence of his moral failings. More fundamentally, their very awareness of such failings is crowded out by the atmosphere of outright fervor that pervades Paul's candidacy. This is not the fervor of a healthy body politic — this is a less savory type of political devotion, one that escapes the bounds of sober reasoning. Indeed, Paul's absolutist notion of libertarian rigor has always been coupled with an attraction to fantasies of political apocalypse.

Great article. The GOP needs to start over. Each candidate they have fielded so far has been a disaster. The only questions republican voters need to ask their candidate this cycle is. Do you love your fears and prejudices more than the United States and it's citizens? Since they don't know history or government or the tenets of their faiths we can at least try to flesh out their intentions.
Raymond R permalink27 December 2011 4:10 am
Salve Fabius I can't think of a better comment on the state of American politics than your observation: "They close their eyes to the whole picture because they prefer the pretty picture in their minds to the reality." IMO, this observation applies to those who supported (or continue to support) Pres. Obama as well as those seeking to replace him. Thanks for the clear-headed commentary.
USCSWO permalink27 December 2011 4:15 am
Just curious, what are Fabius' thoughts about Gary Johnson? On the surface, Johnson seems to be similar to Paul but without the racism and social conservative leanings(always makes me chuckle when Paul is referred to as a libertarian). I would almost think that some of Paul's support might be because of his ties to racism if I had enough confidence in the average voter to think they thought about it any deeper than the 30 second soundbites that are on the nightly news…
WTF permalink27 December 2011 4:31 am
No question that there are lots of weird Birchers and similar right-wing types in the Ron Paul camp. Attempting to reason with them is as futile as any other group of zealots. But how is that different from the mainstream political left, which is still supported by a variety of radicals/extremists even after it sold out to corporate wealth!?! And how is it different from the "conservative" movement that attracts, far more successfully, wealthy and powerful interests that FM complains are destroying the Constitution?
That said, there are some odd contradictions in FM's critique of Ron Paul that seem to reveal much about FM's anti-populist (or anti-civilian?) tendencies.
Paul is criticized for being unvarnished and speaking from a politically incorrect perspective, and for saying "crazy" things that are really nothing but questions about "unexamined assumptions" in american culture and politics. Elsewhere on the FM blog, americans are criticized for being "sheeple", being overly conformist and politically correct!
Ron Paul has consistently worked to abolish the banking monopoly that FM blames for a great deal of the corruption in american politics!
Ron Paul is no more "racist" than many non-whites, and he is one of the few people that was willing to begin to openly address hatred of whites in the wake of the "culture wars". Ron Paul exhorts people to return to individual responsibility, and in the "racist" newsletters, explains in unvarnished terms how the system of big government and state capitalism (social engineering bureaucracy) has created a ghetto culture that is averse to personal responsibility.
FM is wiling to be brave in criticizing the enormous geopolitical problems that the US government's support for Israel involves. When Ron Paul does the same, he is however somehow "racist" or "anti-Semitic"!
Populists and Independents have long been marginalized and ignored by mainstream analysts, so it is not surprising that such analysts are "shocked" that Ron Paul would have attempted to build appeal amongst those political subcultures when he was an obscure figure.
More recently, Ron Paul was willing to state support for the Transpartisan movement, and worked with people on the "far left"1 for the common good. No coverage of that in the mainstream media or on the FM blog. Ron Paul has probably been the most popular advocate for deep reforms in the corrupt military-industrial complex. FM has also called for deep reforms of a corrupt defense establishment. It looks like Ron Paul's biggest sin is to share too many ideas with FM, but having gained far more support for them than FM has.
The fact is that Ron Paul has more of a shot at creating popular support for dismantling the bloated military than anyone else in recent memory, and that upsets people like FM that presumably wish for such reforms to "somehow" come from people like FM within the military community. ???

To make a long story short, in a networked, globalized, interdependent world, viewing the central swath of the North American continent as a cohesive, hermetically sealed, culturally and economically cohesive yet distinct unit makes less and less sense.
And yet precisely that is what United States politics is attempting to do.
It accordingly follows that American policies grow more and more contrive and less and less credible. And that American politicians, to the extent they are sincere, are QED flaky.
Until society reorganizes itself on some framework that better reflects the underlying social and economic realities, these problems will persist. Needless to say, the current "elites" have no interest in refashioning the status quo and very few such elites – perhaps only the Meiji Restoration samurai – have ever committed class seppuku for the good of society as a whole.
WTF permalink27 December 2011 11:18 am
Hey Duncan,
is one of the more well known groups advocating the kind of paradigm shift you call for:
The New Political Compass project is an example of some of the "elites" attempting the kind of redefinition that you refer to. I do not completely agree with NPC's analysis of the "Cultural Creatives" (I see Ken Wilber's criticisms of NPC as being valid), but it is a fairly well known example of an attempt to define a new framework that "reflects underlying realities".
NPC does attempt to cite statistics from social sciences to support its claim that a massive paradigm shift is possible in the near future: "People Power – The New Political Compass", Paul Ray, posted at Yes!, 30 June 2002 — excerpts:
I call the new constituency the New Progressives because they reflect the concerns of the social movements and consciousness movements that have emerged over the last 40 years.
… This group is nearly invisible in the mainstream press. But the New Progressives are the biggest of the four constituencies at 36 percent of population and 45 percent of likely voters. If the New Progressives were mobilized under a single political tent, they could replace one of the political parties and dominate American politics for the next generation or more.
… Along with these shifts came the insistence that cultural change is a valid part of the larger social change process. Most importantly, the inner dimensions of transformation were carried into political work, in the beginning causing dissonance with the more Left, macho activists.LikeLike

Michele Bachmann asserted that public schools "are teaching children that there is separation of church and state, and I am here to tell you that is a myth," based perhaps on her objection to the accepted understanding of the Establishment Clause, this raised no great media hew and cry. Maybe because the refrain was so familiar. In 2010, Sarah Palin said as much, too: "
So, this is the first thing that comes up, as an idea reserved for military camps and reactionaries? 'No establishment' versus 'separation' — honestly, I think only the 700 club viewers care about this, and most everyone else doesn't feel all that threatened. I mean, I'm not anything close to Christian, and I don't fear theocracy in the USA. I think the media is just ignoring this because most of this stuff was kind of resolved a few decades back in the Jerry Falwell era.
Then we get this…
"Here is what Wesley Swift had to offer on the subject: "This is a Christian nation. The Supreme Court ruled on separate occasions that this is a Christian nation. And the fact remains that there are many forces that are seeking to destroy Christian civilization."
Wesley Swift being the founder of the Christian Identity movement — a white supremacist, anti-Semite and convicted domestic terrorist."
We're supposed to be appalled that anyone says that no establishment does not mean separation, and that's because some guy also says vaguely similar who is an Anti-Semite and a terrorist? I mean, come on. This is a joke. Do I have to actually explain why?
WTF permalink27 December 2011 11:50 am
Not sure I'm clear on your point, sorry!
Christians have, literally, been their own worst enemy from early on. Elaine Pagels, scholar of the Nag Hammadi texts, has written extensively on the suppression of alternative christian thought, such as Gnosticism, suppression that has existed since about the year 300 AD.
The radical whigs, such as John Locke, revisioned christian philosophy starting around the 1640s, to reflect Natural Law (NL), a philosophy that rejected the traditional authority of aristocracy and high church. Natural Law was the foundation of the US Constitution. NL was proposed by Locke as an intellectually legitimate (rational) "alternative" to the doctrine of the Divine Right of Kings.
The Spanish Inquisitions would have been vivid in the minds of those rejecting traditional authority and wishing for the separation of church and state – as an example of the incredible danger of allowing politicians to take over religious institutions under the auspices of "modernizing" a society.
The earlier inquisitions of the Cathar/Albigensian heretics provide another example of Christians engaging in war against other Christians in order to enforce conformity of belief.

It's just that there's zero substance to the theatlantic argument. We have an article here complaining about the ignorance of Republicans, and then a link to an article that's really nothing more than political hackery. If it were guilt by association, it would be a step up, because at least there would have been an association. But with this, people are guilty of having opinions that are vaguely similar to the opinions of Anti-Semites. With this logic, this website is Anti-Semite, the entire world is Anti-Semite.
To make it simple, racist people have various opinions about all kinds of issues, but it's only the racism that makes them racists. If a racist believes that 'no establishment of religion does not imply separation of religion and state' — that does not make everyone who believes this also a racist. This is a logical fallacy. I'm not going to vet all my opinions for what David Duke believes. No one can. This is an impossible standard.
Is this how we raise the level of debate?
WTF permalink28 December 2011 9:04 pm
Marcus, thanks for mentioning the 30 years war as an example of christian-on-christian war that had a religious motivation.
Cathryn, I agree with you to the extent that Ron Paul is being subject to purity tests that are peculiar because of deeper problems that americans have with the legacy of slavery and racism. Ron Paul has talked about taboo subjects in a way that disturbs the comfort zone rhetoric of mainstream racial politics.
As I explain in another response, whites have always been aware that they are hated by large numbers of blacks, and they are also aware that black "slave" revolts have always been a threat to white privilege and power. This is nothing new in southern white culture, and the only thing that is unusual is that "outsiders" do not expect white southerners to discuss the issue openly, but Ron Paul (or Lew Rockwell in the newsletters) did so anyway.
Similar for the gay stuff. Anyone that dares to question the use of coercion and groupthink by the pro-gay movement is usually subject to thought policing and rhetorical inquisition. It is obvious that gay politics, feminist politics and all forms of postmodern politics contain a "toxic" psychological mirror of what they hate. (Jungian shadow)
Similarly, anyone that open criticizes AIPAC or other aspects of the Israeli WAR lobby is accused of "anti-semitism". As you say, it is odd since FM has posted much criticism of that lobby's bad geopolitics and the incredible derangement of the Israeli right wing. Why repeat charges that Ron Paul is "anti-semetic" for opposing the Israeli WAR lobby when those charges come out of a corrupt mindset?
The reality is that Ron Paul is a relic of an era before political correctness (and its Jungian shadows) became a standard method of acceptable intimidation in american politics, and people don't want to have to engage in the mental and spiritual gymnastics necessary to think outside the box about what that all means.
The current comfort zone of racial rhetoric in america assumes that whites are in a continual state of fear of being accused of being "racist" unless they engage in specific rituals of speech and behavior designed to assure the Thought Police that they are compliant with Political Correctness.
(substitute "gay" or "feminist" as needed.)LikeLike
WTF permalink29 December 2011 2:58 am
What is dumb/bizarre about the simple statement that white southerners were aware of the dangers of slave revolts? In slave times, whites lived in constant fear of such slave revolts, and at times did not live through them.
(see Orlando Patterson The Historical encyclopedia of world slavery, Volume 1; Volume 7)Similarly, in the politically correct post-civil-rights era, whites live in fear of being accused of "racism" (and men live in fear being being accused of "sexism", hetero-sexuals in fear of being accused of being "homophobic", etc.). This why whites like "unthreatening" blacks such as Oprah and Obama, they avoid the usual tactic in black culture of "shoot first, ask questions later" by being in a continual state of holtility toward whites (in order to negotiate a position of psychological advantage). As is explained by Shelby Steele, a leading black conservative.
Your analysis of Ron Paul's so-called racism is extremely peculiar, and frankly lacking in the nuance and sophistication neccessary to gain an understanding of the position of a character such as Paul.
Do you not actually understand the "moral" problems inherent to the social engineering bureaucracy?
But of course any viewpoint that isn't dedicated to following the herd that is dedicated to smearing Paul and libertarian ideas in general, you see as "disconnected from reality".
At a deep level, those that wish to damage Paul should avoid the silly "racism" stuff and concentrate of Paul's economic theories and his support for Ayn Rand. Those are where things get "scary".

The New Republican Primary Rules Make It Possible For The Republican Establishment To Steal The Nomination From A Candidate They Don't Like", by Michael (Married American, 41 years old, Independent, Christian, lawyer/activist), 12/22/2011
WTF permalink28 December 2011 8:13 pm
The (cynical) "joke" that I've heard black labor activists make is that if the "white [liberal suburbanite] social workers [substitute public school teachers that get special grants, etc.] actually solved the problems of the (poor) black community, they would be out of work". That is what should outrage people, but of course the "sheeple" have been conditioned to think otherwise. For people that hate Ron Paul (and libertarian ideology), charges of "racism" are easily instrumentalized.
This is all part of the "decline" of american politics that FM constantly complains about, but in this case, the aversion to the politics of character assasination is set aside since it serves FM's preferences.
The reality is that all whites, but especially southern whites, have lived in fear of black "slave" revolts for a long time. Anyone that has a clue about southern culture and history understands that that is what Ron Paul is talking about. All of the social programs that were put in place as a result of the civil rights movement were an attempt to "buy out" black leaders and to get them to convince their community to be happy with the small piece of the pie they were given, and to stop being "noisy", asking for more.
It is interesting that Ron Paul is being subjected to bogus purity tests in a manner that other candidates are not. It isn't that hard to make a case that the liberal social engineering bureaucracy and postmodern culture that arose as a response to the civil rights movement are deeply flawed, full of disasterous unintended consequences that have ghettoized millions of people into "serfdom" – dependency on state social programs that are significantly ineffective.
The fact that "racial" topics are taboo, and that those that challenge the taboos (or fail to make public statements consistent with the fragile "comfort zone" of anti-racist rhetoric) are smeared as "racists" tell the real story of race "toxicity". Any fair examination of the issue would look at the plight of black conservatives, and how they are viciously attacked by the liberal establishment. (e.g., school vouchers in poor urban communities)
For a large section of the back community, things have gotten far worse in the last several decades. For another section, the increase in opportunities has been very fortunate.
The reality is that the same economic powers that FM constantly complains about require the use of state coercion of the socially disadvantaged population via a "liberal" social work bureacuracy (and public "education" system that miserably fails poor people).
Ron Paul is willing to talk about that taboo when others are not. This makes people very uncomfortable because they know that america (including most of the liberal establishment) has horribly failed a large number of blacks, and that creates the possibility of a "slave revolt" against the system of privilege that america is premised on.

Good article, FM.
>> (1) About the GOP, its leaders? Is this a sign of their desperate search for a right-wing candidate attractive to an increasingly foolish and ignorant electorate? Or does it show indifference to which puppet we elect (just like 2008 Obama vs. McCain, their knowledge that both would be in effect a third term for Bush Jr's policies)?
I don't think the GOP is in a desperate search for a right-wing candidate. They are in an ordinary and routine search for a centrist or center-right candidate. Seems like Romney is the best they got, now that Perry totally blew it as a remake of Bush Jr.
I'd say Gingrich is a side-show, and Paul is there to keep his many supporters from leaving the GOP. Get them emotionally involved in the election process so that they remember to vote. I see Paul is being set up to be the next Howard Dean, and there will be a bait-and-switch. Paul can even win a bunch of early primaries, but then there will be some real or perceived public gaffe, and the media will then suddenly turn on Paul (like Dean), he will be declared "unelectable", and that will be that. Maybe the newsletters from this FM article will even be the cause, to be "discovered" by the MSM sometime in late January?
(for the record I don't like any of the GOP candidates, nor Obama.)
WTF permalink29 December 2011 6:39 am
david, nice comments, thanks.
re: "bait and switch"
Wasn't Howard Dean shoved to the side after he helped to pick Obama? Wasn't Dean in charge of fundraising? Was he competent? My understanding (please correct if wrong) is that the Democrats were desperate to find an alternative to Hillary because they were afraid that revelations about Bill Clinton's ongoing sex affairs would blow up in Hillary's face later? As soon as Obama set up shop after being elected President, Dean was banished to the wilderness, and has been pretty quiet since.
WTF permalink30 December 2011 8:33 am
re: "Why do you say Dean was "shoved to the side" and "banished to the wilderness"?"
Dean went from national prominence to an almost complete absence on the national stage in a very short time. The obvious suspicion would be that he was unwelcome in D.C., or in any other prominent national role because his style is more populist and "unrestrained" than Obama's.
Ok, I just read the Wiki page, and it looks like a combination of his previous ruffling of establishment party feathers and disagree with Rahm Emmanuel was the reason for the banishment, err, snub:
WTF permalink2 January 2012 8:45 am
FM, please dare to tell the truth for once about the so-called "racist" Ron Paul newsletters: DESCRIPTION OF SMEAR CAMPAIGN CAMPAIGN AGAINST RON PAUL: "Why the Beltway Libertarians Are Trying to Smear Ron Paul", Justin Raimondo, Taki's Magazine, 18 January 2008 — Excerpt:
Reason, of course, in it's new incarnation as the official organ of the libertarian movement's aging hipsters and would-be "cool kids," vehemently opposes reaching out to middle and working class Americans. Moreover, the decidedly "square" Dr. Paul—a ten-term Republican congressman from Texas, no less, and a pro-life country doctor of decidedly conservative social views—was and is anathema.
Note: "Reason" magazine is funded by the Koch Bros., evil creeps whose giant oil company was started by their father in the Soviet Union under Stalin. How surprising is it that Autocratic Corporatists want to smear the *populist* Ron Paul?
Also: Justin Raimundo is gay. He microscopically deconstructs the so called "racist", "homophobic" and "anti-Semetic " charges and finds them almost entirely taken out of context and misinterpreted.

Ethical Issue -Missing Prescriptions - page 4
I had a new caregiver for weekends. She seemed fine at first, and everything seemed fine. I have chronic pain, and I have to take medication to control that pain after I exhaust all other options... Read More
1Dec 19, '10 by Batman25I wanted to extend my apologies as well. I'm glad you can pick up a partial on Monday. I hope that helps with the pain. I have a mother with chronic pain issues and it's just awful to see her or anyone in the same boat suffer like that. Hugs.FranEMTnurse likes this.
0Dec 21, '10 by TakeOneQuote from FranemtnurseYou are wrong. I put the refill in a different place, and told nobody about where I placed it. She was suspended pending the investigation, but I placed the refill in the new place a few days earlier, checking it just prior to the weekend, and that prescription was full. YOU DIDN'T READ MY MESSAGE CORRECTLY.
I asked you if you were sure, but you responded by saying I'm wrong. What am I wrong about?
I read your message correctly. You put a newly-filled bottle of narcotic pain reliever in places you usually don't keep it on two separate occasions. You lost the first one and couldn't account for it in any way. The second one, not only in a place you don't usually keep it BUT ALSO [you added later] in a place where nobody knew you had it, was fine and dandy each time you went to check on it until that Saturday when suddenly all you had was an empty bottle. Please understand that that is not proof that the caregiver took it. -
0Jan 21, '14 by FranEMTnurse, LPNNobody else has ever taken my pain meds, but she even has an uncle who takes them, and a boyfriend who is addicted. She recently lost her job after the agency she worked for found out.
0Jan 30, '14 by xoemmylouoxI'm sorry you are going through this. My husband has chronic back pain and also takes his pain meds when the pain flairs and becomes intolerable. It's a shame you being the patient and the one in pain has to suffer due to some greedy or addicted caregiver. I hope this gets sorted quickly so you can get the pain relief and peace of mind you deserve. It's sad that you have to lock up your medication, but it sounds like a safe is worth the investment. I also think the sign out sheet is another good idea. Good luck with this mess.
0Jan 30, '14 by GrnTea, BSN, MSN, RNQuote from OCNRN63True, but it's the OP who has just come back for an updateI would think this situation would have been resolved, as the OP is three years old.
I'd love to see a link for that safe, too, if you still have it. I have small grandchildren and I can't watch them every single minute, and you know how fast they can be. -
0Jan 30, '14 by Been there,done thatOP handled it. . The question is how does she get at least a few effin' pills to control her pain!

Bijou is a pretty, sweet, girl. The last of her litter and in March 2010 turned a year old. Bijou loves to play, is very curious about anything new brought into the house and loves sitting at the window and checking out the birds flying and squirrels running into the trees. She's not really a lap cat and will come to you when she needs some loving.. She does enjoy laying with you at night for some loving pets and some snuggling but won't be there all night long. Then she's off galavanting around the house or hanging with one of her other friends. One she's spent a lot of time with is Rachel. Both Rachel and Bijou were both adopted together and then their owner passed away. So, they both come back looking for a furever home again. They were adopted back in 2009 when Bijou was a kitten. Rachel was adopted, however, Bijou has still not found her forever home. Bijou is not able to make our regular adoptions days so if you are interested in meeting her, please fill out and submit a pre adoption form. We will get back to you and arrange a meeting. This Pet is vaccinated, altered, FeLV/FIV tested negative and microchipped.

My sister sent me a recipe the other day suggtesting that I use it for my upcoming Christmas get together. It was a recipe for Holiday cookies. I tried the recipe and was very impressed, not only at the taste but also at how simple they were considering the outcome. Anyway, the recipe was from a small blog called Living the Gourmet at livingthegourmet.blogspot.com
1 stick butter (softened)
Filling: Favorite jam or preserve. Preheat oven 375 degrees. Combine dry ingredients, flour, nutmeg, sugar, and baking soda. In separate bowl combine wet ingredients, buttermilk, butter, lemon juice, vanilla, egg, orange juice, and zests. Mix. Combine all ingredients and mix well. Mold into ball and pat with flour. Wrap in kitchen towel and put in refrigerator over night. Next day. Cut into four pieces, take one piece and place remaining pieces back in refrigerator. Mold piece into ball, flour surface of work area, and roll out not too thin. Cut out circles (using cap of 30-ounce mayonnaise jar is perfect for cutting circles). Place circles on non-stick cookie sheet. Fill middle of circles with about Ľ teaspoon jam, then pinch closed. Bake for about 10 minutes. Let cool, then dust with powdered sugar. Enjoy! HOpe you like it, I know I do. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I bet these would be quite pretty on a mixed cookie plate. I think I'll try them..... maybe with the older grandkids. |
How do you pinch them closed? Do you gather the dough from all around and pinch at the top, or do you fold them over and pinch a half-moon edge? What are they shaped like after baking? Thanks! |
I was wondering the same thing, seagrass. |
Aha! I went to the original website and found a picture. Check it out. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Living The Gourmet Blog

As far as 'pinching' them closed, I wasn't really sure about that either, so I just went by the picture and sort of 'pinched' the top closed. I didn't gather the dough, but rather just shut the tops. I guess it could really be done either way, though. |

Oakland A's designated hitter Coco Crisp was doused with water, received three pies to the face and showered with packages of sunflower seeds by his teammates during a postgame interview Sunday.
The "gifts" were part of a celebration of Crisp's walk-off single in the bottom of the 12th to give the A's a 5-4 victory over the New York Yankees and closed out a four-game sweep. Crisp knew it was coming and took it like a man, although he did say that the water was cold.
