First: America is about 50 km thick. And no that is not around our waists. And 3937 km across, again not at our waists. We are about 2,700 km "tall." Now, you should all remember that density is mass divided by volume and that volume is base times height times width and that density times volume will equal the mass. Rock has an average density of 3.0x10^12 kg/ km^3 This means that if we mathy multiply everything that America, if we assume a box of uniform density and ignor continental shelves and oceany stuff and peopley stuff, weighs approximately 1.59 x 10^21 kg (about 7.23 x 10^20 lbs--alot!)
Second: According to the Brittanica 2005 Almanac this planet has something like 735 million cars. Now if we make the ridiculous assumption that each vehicle has a 20 gallon tank filled with octane that needs filling if you are lucky every two weeks or about 26 times per year. And if we remember from our chemistry classes that octane is an 8 carbon chain that when combusted will form 8 carbon dioxides. We need a few unit converters like 1 Gallon is equal to 3.785 litres and that there are 6.023 x 10 with 23 zeros after it husbands of Eve (atoms) per small fury rodent (mole) and that there are 22.4 litres per said rodent. If we again remember that CO2 is made up of two oxygen and a carbon and that a whole lot of them weigh about 44 grams/ rodent and knowing that there are 1000 g/kg This means that by driving our cars we are pumping 1.425 x 10^12 kg per year into the atmosphere.
Conclusion: Assuming that we could turn every rock into gasoline, oh wouldn't the oil companies love that, we will have turned our entire country into atmospheric pollutants in just over 1.1 Billion years. We MUST stop this calamity. If you are a true patriot, for the love of our country PLEASE stop burning fossil fuels. We only have 1.1 Billion years left! Remember what we do today will affect our grandchildren 50 million generations hence! So I implore you, act now, ride the bus, carpool, do what ever you can to reduce global warming Incidently, if we assume a linear relationship between carbon concentrations and temperature our planet's average temperature should be something like 3.1 gajillion degrees Fahrenheit. That's not even considering other resources drains such as breathing, population doubling, etc. Things really are looking grim so please act now!

Love it!
(Characters drawn by Ron Proctor. Images copyright Ott Planetarium, so please don't even think of stealing them, sad I have to say all of that, but as we are publishing the show I feel I should.)
So anyway, these are our characters for our upcoming scout show for the planetarium. Yes we are sending it nation wide and Yes it does meet ALL of the astronomy meritbadge requirements. We aren't done yet, but I got to see a sneak preview. Its FREAKING HILARIOUS!!!! Incidently I wrote the script, and I also play at least three of these characters. Anyone care to guess which ones Answers are later in the blog.
Highlights include, buzzard blowing up the Earth. Boy gets cactus on his tongue and is carried away by giant killer mosquitos. Buzzard gets baked and a postage stamp is really an atomic bomb. Scoutmaster Ted is eaten by light pollution AND Bobo the Buzzard does stand up. Its the most hilarious 20 minutes I have seen and that just the start. Oh, and if you were still in doubt as to which characters I play: The male interview doesn't exist, The mosquito is silent, as are the medics. Billy screams. And I play Jimmy, Bobo and Winston Churchill. Its great! I recomend to anyone coming to watch our scout show starting probably early February. (Oh, and if you should happen to want to buy it just click today's title.)

Internet and the Telly
The internet and television both have FAAAAAR to much in common. Most of what is out there--stuff you don't want to watch or see. Television has its Las Vegas, and other shows of negligently clad vixens and other means of soft core porn. The Internet slightly harder. Guess what takes up most of the space on television--ads. A thirty minute show now is about 17 minutes of show and 13 of ads. 43% of what we suffer through on the tube are salespitches. Ugh! Guess what the television with the keyboard intervenously plugged into it is also mostly ads. Exciting. It gets worse, based on a 2007 scientifically sound study of me surfing the internet for about an hour, most of the schtuff I read is an intellectual rerun. Read enough posts and you will find there are startlingly many of THE EXACT SAME posts here there and everywhere, nevermind they have "different authors."
Surfing the internet is great, but its like watching daytime soaps. There really is no content to anything there. You know it will never end, there will always be something new, yet so very little of it is anygood. Yet even inspite of all of this, in spite of knowing there are at least a hundred million other better, more productive things you could or should be doing, yet we watch on. Watching ever on our brain's writhing and melting all the while. Even several hours into the crap with our brains oozing out onto the floor. Even with intelligence insulted, our pocketbooks demanded, held ransom by the world or marketing; even while being numbed to content especially drugs, crassness, violence, sex and any other vice you want we watch on. Hopping, yearing, even longing for something, anything good to come on so we can watch just a little longer. Just frequently enough to keep us glued good things do come, but why must soooo much of the internet and television be wrought with CRAP!?
Quality. It has been posted and written of here: and elsewhere. It has been said that we have an inate sense of quality. Given a room full of people and presented with works of varying degrees of quality the "good" pieces can almost unanimously be recognized, yet the simple fact that there are so many posts on quality would seem to suggest that we are still struggling to define this idea, and to reconcile our ideas of what it whould be to the things that have quality. Perhaps maybe this difficulty in defining quality is the fact that we are imersed in so little of it. I have already complained at the internet and lack of quality on television. This is probably because both of these media are "easy" to produce material for. A new television show is produced every day every week every year decade after decade on hundreds if not thousands of channels. The internet grows at 186,000% per year according to one statistic. The shear volume and ease of producing material for both of these media have for the most part stripped them of much of their quality. Now admittedly there are still many fine products found within each of these spheres of thought, but some much of it isn't.
Even in the face of multimillion dollar (Not even surprised if soon to be multi billion dollar) movies with all of their high tech special effects and high paid actors, books are still better. Books allow you to use your own imagination to create the world of your choosing. Books will tell you things a movie never can. A book is a higher form of quality even than a movie in that books usually take longer to produce, they are more intimately tied with their creators. Books exude a quality that will not be matched until neurally tied viertual reality can be invented. When we have invented the machines necessary to make the world of our imaginations come to life, to combine the visual appeal of a movie with the intellectual draw of a book. That is power. (A power that would make a good science fiction, but that is for later.)
Ah, but here I have strayed. Is mine a work of quality, maybe. But with little or no editing and post post reading probably not as much as it could be. Drivel, maybe to someone. But it is my drivel, and that is probably the excuse that is shared around the world. So enjoy your drivel. May you all break free of your phrenic export bans, and may you never take the easy way out. Strive for quality, seek creativity, and go with the words of Longfellow from his Psalm of Life:
Seek Quality and go with luck.

Holes
From: http://www.impawards.com/2003/posters/holes.jpg On Jan 9 2007
Oh, and the picture doesn't really have anything to do with today's post. The post today is actually about Art, Mathematics and the languages of the universe. Yes, LanguageS of the universe. It has been said that math is the language of the universe. It has been said that if you ask the universe a question it will answer in math. Well this is sort of true, but it is true in the same way that the language of a computer is English. Every time I look at the computer all I see is English. But the computer actually speaks on and offs, but we are able to translate it into English. What language then does the universe speak? I think it is something closer to math art. There are numbers galore, even if I don't hear birds spouting formulae, there are still numbers everywhere, yet there is also great beauty. Intense amazing beauty in each and every component of the universe. The languages of the Universe is art, but to understand the art of the universe we have to translate into math. Birds don't sing in numbers but their song can be transformed into them the same way the computer screen is written in 1s and 0s then the English is dug out from them.
Ah fascinating, but if math is not the language of the Universe proper, what then is math? Math is the language of holes. (Ah, that's where the picture comes in, a post Hole if you will.) Moreover, art is the language of Wholes. I say that math is the language of holes because math provides us the techniques to fill in the infinitely many potholes of logic. Addition, subtraction, multiplication, sines, cos, and the rest--these are the letters the language of Holes is written in. They are the dirt, the foundation on which the whole is built. 2+3=5 if this is true we can then fill the hole that "2 and what, will make 5. " We disguise the hole with the symbol "x." I guess X marks the trap. Since we have ascribed 5 to be formed from 2 and 3 3 is the only thing that will fill in the hole we have created. The same holeds as we progress through stranger smaller holes to fill math gives us the shovels and the dirt to fill the missing holes. Sine of what will fill the hole (X) plus some other hole (Y) when divided by 6 and squared will equal three.
Science is intimately tied with mathematics because science is the special case of looking for holes in the universe and ways of filling them. Math is the language and science is the story problems.
Ah, so what of art? Art is the language of wholes. Art likes to see the whole picture whereas math and science are only concerned with the hole picture. The reason well laid out pictures of every day objects work so well is that the artist is keen at recognizing what we see as the hole-- merely a part of something larger is inturn itself a whole. All of the universe can be contained within great art, if even but a glimpse. The master has shown us the whole within the hole. And herein lies the metaphysical fractal for it is truly an object of math to be powerful enough to fit the whole within a hole. Artists see the emotional picture, the grandest scheme of things--the wholes if you will, while the mathematician and the scientist seeks only the newest question that expands the hole of our understanding by filling in the holes of our understanding.
If this is true, then a religion is an art and a science for it deepens our hole yet it lets us glimpse the universe as a whole. Music is another translation of sight into the realm of sound, letting us too perceive the whole hole. To eat is to fill our holes with things that are whole. And engineering is the whole of holes filling holes with perceived wholes.
But, the trick is for the studier of holes to realize that there are wholes, and for the wholes to realize that even their wholes have holes. The two are opposites one is empty even though it is filled, while the other is full and yet empty. To be a success we must unite the two. Art and religion must unne with science as must the other way round. Only then will we truly see the whole of wholes holes and all.

A town unlike any ever found
To know more of his plight your heart yearns
But fear not for Jytan Fitch returns.
Voyaged we into once an orinry hamlet.
But now the town is dead and couldn't handle it.
A town devoid of fools,
yet wrought with ghouls.
Every single citizen,
now death's denizen.
A borough of skeleton
townsfolk as ammunition.
Woe unto a rogue that tries to sneak attack,
the creature lacking a back.
Crossbow bolts, and arrow shots
simply rattle within the undeads rib slots.
But of this you can trust,
Dewey and the dorf turned the fiends into dust.
Twas at the cemetary
to where we did tary.
Those undigging the graves
quickly we dispatched with our blades.
Within that cemetary plot, amid those grave sites
Unhatched we a more sinister plot of ancient rites.
The barkeeps daughter maid mention of in earlier fights.
In but hours she'd be dead in all rights.
Off we ran to the bar to make wrongs right.
No fiends we saw so we hid amid the barrels that night.
We hoped to catch them in their act
Leap from behind the barrels and stope them in their tracks
Me with my sword and Dewey with his axe.
We got each other we had the daughter's back.
Or so we'd thunk.
Aye but through the window they'd snuk
Our plans foiled,
A maiden's inocense nearly spoiled.
When we realized what had passed,
we rushed to save to stolen lass.
Long we traced the damsels trail.
We would not lose we had to prevail.
Plunged we into a cave.
Fear we surpressed to be brave.
Filled with grinning skulls ranting.
An army of undead chanting.
An aura of gloom filled the room.
Spewed forth by 170 emissaries of doom.
Will our heros be torn limb from limb?
Will our distressed damsel meet them?
Do our the Gallant gladiators die?
Who do they meet that lets an arrow fly?
Come read again,
To find rest of the crews shenanigins.

2006: A year in Review
So come late December or early January, many places do a review of the year past. Who am I to buck this tradition. The year 2006 in review copied directly from http://timelines.ws/0B3300_1300BC.HTML
2006 BC The first agricultural tribes appeared on the Bactrian Plain (Afghanistan).
(NG, 3/90, p.62)
2006 BC Bronze-age mounds from this time in Turkman SSR indicate that Central Asians built cities around oases and developed a flourishing civilization with monumental architecture, sophisticated gold and silver craft, and irrigation agriculture.
(NG, 3/90)
c2006 BC At Arbor Low in Derbyshire, England, a Bronze Age stone circle was constructed.
(SFEM, 10/11/98, p.21)
c2006 BC Silbury Hill, located on the prehistoric site of Avebury (named after nearby Avebury, England), is the largest prehistoric mound in Europe. The artificial hill, which rises up 130 feet, was constructed over three separate phases beginning at least 4,000 years ago. Although the shape of the mound is similar to smaller earthen constructions used for burials, its purpose remains a mystery.
(HNQ, 6/8/01)
2006 BC The initial phase of what scientists call Stonehenge III was begun about 100 years after Stonehenge II with the lentil structure familiar to modern visitors. The builders continued improvements on Stonehenge III up until about 1550BC, well before historical records of the Druids or the Romans. Both Stonehenge and a neighboring circular monument were added to UNESCO's World Heritage List--a listing of cultural and natural sites--in 1986.
(HNQ, 3/3/01)
2006 BC For as many as 4,000 years, the salty sand of the Taklimakan Desert in China held well-preserved mummies wearing colorful robes, boots, stockings and hats. The people were Caucasian not Asian. The bodies have been exhumed from the Tarim Basin of Xinjiang province since the late 1970s.
(SFC, 5/6/96, p.C-1)
2006 BC Balathal, outside the city of Udaipur in northeast India, was a Chalcolithic village. The people used copper tools and weapons. Terra-cotta figurines of bulls have been found at the site. It was abandoned and reoccupied c340BC.
(AM, Mar/Apr 97 p.B)
2006 BC Legends from Mecca indicate that the prophet Abraham built the Kaaba about this time. The Kaaba is a shrine meaning cube in Arabic, that enclosed the idols of their gods. Religious rituals were performed around the Kaaba which had a black stone embedded into a corner, said to be a gift to Abraham from the angel Gabriel for his belief in one god. By CE 500 more than 360 idols were housed within the Kaaba.
(ATC, p.57)
2006 BC About this time the Egyptians domesticated the cat in order to catch snakes. Advances in astronomy enabled the Egyptians to predict the annual flooding of the Nile.
(eawc, p.2)
c2006 BC An Egyptian painting on an interior tomb wall depicted 6 men scrubbing, wringing and folding a cloth.
(SFC, 10/11/97, p.E3)
2006 BC By this time Baltic amber reached the Mediterranean and was found in ancient Mycenaean shaft graves.
(PacDis, Winter/'97, p.10)
2006 BC The Timucuan Indians lived on Cumberland Island, Georgia, back to this time.
(Sky, 4/97, p.43)
2006 BC The Hittites lived around what is now Cappadocia. They mixed with the already-settled Hatti and were followed by the Lydians, Phrygians, Byzantines, Romans and Greeks. The name Cappadocia comes from the Hittite for "land of pretty horses."
(SFEC, 9/14/97, p.T14)
c2006 BC In India Tantra, a quasireligious doctrine, dates back to this time. Its first texts were in Sanskrit and the original adherents practiced ritual copulation.
(WSJ, 12/7/98, p.A1)
c2006 BC The Sumerian goddess Inanna was a fertility figure.
(SFEC, 9/27/98, BR p.7)
c2006 BC A palace was built at Qatanah, 12 miles south of Damascus, Syria, that was discov ered in 1999.
(SFEC, 11/21/99, p.A6)
2006 BC-1790BC The wooden statue of chancellor Nakhti and carved face of governor Hapidjefai date to Egypt’s Middle Kingdom. They are now in the French Louvre.
(WSJ, 1/29/98, p.A16)
2006 BC-1600BC In Mesopotamia the Old Babylonian period began after the collapse of Sumer, probably due to an increase in the salt content of the soil that made farming difficult. Weakened by poor crops and lack of surplus goods, the Sumerians were conquered by the Amorites, situated in Babylon. The center of civility shifted north. The Amorites preserved much of the Sumerian culture but introduced their own Semitic language, an early ancestor to Hebrew, into the region.
(eawc, p.2)
2006 BC-1600BC The Middle Minoan period. Middle Minoan I finds polychrome decoration in pottery with elaborate geometrical patterns; we also discover interesting attempts to picture natural forms, such as goats and beetles. There then follows some great catastrophe. Middle Minoan II includes the period of the great palace of Phaestos and the first palace of Knossos. This period also includes the magnificent polychrome pottery called Kamares ware. Another catastrophe occurs. The second great palace of Knossos was built and begins the Middle Minoan III. It was distinguished by an intense realism in art, speaking clearly of a rapid deterioration in taste. Pictographic writing was clearly developed, with a hieratic or cursive script derived from it, adapted for writing with pen and ink.
(R.M.-P.H.C.p.17)
2006 BC-1600 In Oman a transitional culture known as early Wadi Suq.
(AM, May/Jun 97 p.49)
2006 BC-1500BC The events of the Indian Ramayana epic, written around 500BC, supposedly took place about this time period.
(AM, 7/04, p.50)

The artificial hill, which rises up 130 feet, was constructed over three separate phases beginning at least 4,000 years ago. Although the shape of the mound is similar to smaller earthen constructions used for burials, its purpose remains a mystery.
(HNQ, 6/8/01)
2006 BC The initial phase of what scientists call Stonehenge III was begun about 100 years after Stonehenge II with the lentil structure familiar to modern visitors. The builders continued improvements on Stonehenge III up until about 1550BC, well before historical records of the Druids or the Romans. Both Stonehenge and a neighboring circular monument were added to UNESCO's World Heritage List--a listing of cultural and natural sites--in 1986.
(HNQ, 3/3/01)
2006 BC For as many as 4,000 years, the salty sand of the Taklimakan Desert in China held well-preserved mummies wearing colorful robes, boots, stockings and hats. The people were Caucasian not Asian. The bodies have been exhumed from the Tarim Basin of Xinjiang province since the late 1970s.
(SFC, 5/6/96, p.C-1)
2006 BC Balathal, outside the city of Udaipur in northeast India, was a Chalcolithic village. The people used copper tools and weapons. Terra-cotta figurines of bulls have been found at the site. It was abandoned and reoccupied c340BC.
(AM, Mar/Apr 97 p.B)
2006 BC Legends from Mecca indicate that the prophet Abraham built the Kaaba about this time. The Kaaba is a shrine meaning cube in Arabic, that enclosed the idols of their gods. Religious rituals were performed around the Kaaba which had a black stone embedded into a corner, said to be a gift to Abraham from the angel Gabriel for his belief in one god. By CE 500 more than 360 idols were housed within the Kaaba.

(Sky, 4/97, p.43)
2006 BC The Hittites lived around what is now Cappadocia. They mixed with the already-settled Hatti and were followed by the Lydians, Phrygians, Byzantines, Romans and Greeks. The name Cappadocia comes from the Hittite for "land of pretty horses."
(SFEC, 9/14/97, p.T14)

(WSJ, 1/29/98, p.A16)
2006 BC-1600BC In Mesopotamia the Old Babylonian period began after the collapse of Sumer, probably due to an increase in the salt content of the soil that made farming difficult. Weakened by poor crops and lack of surplus goods, the Sumerians were conquered by the Amorites, situated in Babylon. The center of civility shifted north. The Amorites preserved much of the Sumerian culture but introduced their own Semitic language, an early ancestor to Hebrew, into the region.
(eawc, p.2)
2006 BC-1600BC The Middle Minoan period. Middle Minoan I finds polychrome decoration in pottery with elaborate geometrical patterns; we also discover interesting attempts to picture natural forms, such as goats and beetles. There then follows some great catastrophe. Middle Minoan II includes the period of the great palace of Phaestos and the first palace of Knossos. This period also includes the magnificent polychrome pottery called Kamares ware. Another catastrophe occurs. The second great palace of Knossos was built and begins the Middle Minoan III. It was distinguished by an intense realism in art, speaking clearly of a rapid deterioration in taste. Pictographic writing was clearly developed, with a hieratic or cursive script derived from it, adapted for writing with pen and ink.

Santa is an Eagle Scout
SANTA IS AN EAGLE SCOUT
Santa is an Eagle Scout,
it's very plain to see.
Just listen to this little poem
and you'll agree
Santa navigates by the stars
on Christmas Eve.
After all, his first merit badge
was Astronomy.
To fly his sleigh
with finesse,
Santa took
Aviation merit badge next.
Santa and his reindeer
have a friendly alliance.
He learned it all
while earning Veterinarian Science.
Engineering merit badge
was very hard for Santa Claus.
Going down a chimney is an engineering feat,
if there ever was.
Santa's service project
was for all the boys and girls.
He delivers toys
all around the world.
And lastly, Santa's work on
Communication merit badge was out of sight
That's when he thought of the phrase
"Merry Christmas and to all a good night"

My latest mental wanderings
Consider, if you will, the philosophy of math. Most people will usually start with the point and work their way outward expanding on the logic that came before Inductive reasoning at its finest. I'm going to try the reverse. Imagine if you will a four dimensional object. Any four dimensional object. Ok that didn't work. We'll go slightly smaller to make it somewhat easier. Imagine if you will a three dimensional object, any object in R3 (that's fancy math speak for it has three dimensions). Why was it there? What is it that determines where it exists and for how long?
Some might answer that it is the mathematician that holds the entire fate of this shape in his hands controlling where it is place what its dimensions are where it is defined and the rest of the whole gamut of a 3D objects life. Is this the case, or is it that the shape was always there and the mathematicians have just now discovered it? Was Shroedenger right? Do we need to oberserve something for it to exist or is its existance independant of our observation? Can we reach our full potential on our own or do we need the input of others? Does our work exist if there is no one to recognize it? Or are we dependant upon the imaginations of others in our very existance? Can we determine ourself or are we constructed by society?
Let us consider this shape further. Regardless of the details a shape exists (?). But why does it take the form it does? One answer to this is that it is defined by what came before, a shape is defined by the pieces that make it up. A cube is defined by the square. A sphere is defined by its circle. All of these can be represented by equations once initial parameters have been defined. We are a product of our component parts and we too are subject to what has come before. We are the integration of our genetics, our parent's are friends all of history, all of time and space. We are a product of the equations that compose us DNA RNA et al, and we are of our environment. We are the function that effects and is effected by the vector field. There are forces acting upon us at every point in every second for all time. But here there is a difference between us and the cube. We are non-deterministic. We have free will we are able to choose our path and our actions even though they might be played out for us.
How is this possible you might ask. Consider this, On my calculator I have on my calculator a function composed of three completely random variables. It is impossible for me to predict the path it will take, I do not know how long it will take, but I know without a doubt the final outcome. Always. Even though the function is completly random. I love this program as it is metaphoric of our very existance. Some might say that if we truly have free will how then can an all knowing God know what we will do? Others suggest that if there is no god what then is the point of our existance (to find our very purpose IS our purpose, but this is a subject for a later day!). But if we have a devine plan how can we possibly have free will? The function to which I earlier alluded provides the key. There is an equation that models the path. There is a god over seeing our lives, there is a purpose an equation of life if you will. But there is also free will randomness. The answer is known, and yet it isn't! I suggest as evidence of this, consider God hedging his bets. Inspiring two people simultaneously one accepting one choicing to reject, perhaps even God doesn't know which is which. Perhaps he can see all possible outcomes of either one or both. I do not know. but this would predict, if it were true that many people should be inspired by similar ideas at about the same time. Alexander Graham Bell Patented the telephone 4 hours before a William (?) Grey. Nichola Tessla patented the radio days before Marconi. The pattern repeats throughout history. What does that mean? That is for you to say.
But, we are not done yet. Let us consider again that shape we obtained earlier. It is true that a shape is defined by its component parts, but how we perceive these parts is subject to interpretation. See this post and its link. (check it out later its worth it.)
http://fishingtherabbithole.blogspot.com/2006/12/precieving-truth.html
That shape we were mentioning: what would happen if it were a cylinder? When viewed from the side its component part is a two dimensional rectangle. If you are in a 2D mindset no matter how you look at it, even if you consider all of the evidence available to you, you will only, can only see a 2 dimensional rectangle. If you are in side of this rectangle you will see material in every direction you look. If you are suck viewing this object from above or below you will see something completely contradictory to a rectangle. You will see a circle. Were the viewer of the circle to meet the viewer of the rectangle or the viewer of empty space They would each be solidly convinced (I would apologize for the pun, but its my site so I won't) that what they saw was truly universal truth. It could be no other way. For how on Earth can a circle be a rectangle. You are WRONG I am RIGHT! Universal truth is MINE! GOD is on MY SIDE! Your comment that God is a rectangle--pure lunacy! We shall war!
But wait, they are both right, even though they are contradictory. God is one, God is all. He is within us and around us. We are in his image. He act through us and we become him. God is singular and he is pluaral. He is here and now and there and then. He has a plan and we are part of it yet we are allowed to do our thing. 3-1-300,000 It is all the same. Truth exists for everyone.
Ah, but here's the kicker. We still are not done! We have considered the solid, made mention of the fact there are probably other solids out there possibly even in here. It is only a matter of where you search and being open to the answers you find. Let us complete our mathematical journey and consider my final point (pun intended). The zero dimensional object.
We have said that a shape is determined by is component surfaces--Remembering it is entirely possible to have infinitely many surfaces, a shape is nonetheless determined by them. And that a surface is constrained by the many vectors that make up its existance. But what about a point? Why is a point there? A line exists and is defined if only one other point exists. A rule a guideline. A constraint of society. Others will force us into a fixed mold, but the point is free. The point is Zen. Two points is rules and society. Interaction with others. One point is self and the only thing that can be said of the point is where it is at and that it exists. Our observation affects the point because as soon as we observe it there is a distance between us and it there is a path a destination a line/line segment--a line cut short of its full potential. It is unknown what it could have been or how far along in its life it would have been if we were not there. A point, an individual can become anything go anywhere. More fascinating still is that from just a few points an entire world can be defined. Change even 1 point and the world is a different place. Change even one life and the world is changed.
Remember the individual is free to act. And it is the individual at the intersection of infinitely many others that changes the path the others were traveling. X two lines composed of infinitely many individuals intersect always at only one point. It is up to the dot the zero dimensional object. The things that cannot be measured and are not seen that matter most. They are the ones who can change the line of societies path.
In short, be the dot! Change the worlds path! You can do it! All you have to do is plot out how. Good Night, Good Luck!
Some might answer that it is the mathematician that holds the entire fate of this shape in his hands controlling where it is place what its dimensions are where it is defined and the rest of the whole gamut of a 3D objects life.

So vote and I promise there will be no hanging chads here.

So I am a Complete Techno-illiterati
The long and short of it is I think this Lady is trying to do something cool. I support her quest. However, I can't figure out how to post her little deally off in a corner somewhere, so mine will just be smack in the center of my posts. Incidently, I think I can make an exception about speaking harm to no one in order to continue the story of Fitch. He is just too interesting of a character to simply forget about him simply because he has a nasty habit of stabbing monsters from another realm in their backs.

So Aparently ...
I did it! I posed a blog a day for the entire month of November. Yes I posted daily despite what the actual dates on the blog headers say. I think the reason some of them are off is either a. posted right around midnight and it hadn't quite rolled over. b. there were some I went back and edited. And there were some that were typed on one day saved and then actually put online the next. But I did it! And it does appear to be true, daily blogging does keep the wookies away. Master Yoda was right.
