Where however individuals are more interested in simply playing bandaid to braintumour blame game; I filter the quality of their comments thusly.

In Australia being called a 'bitch' to your face, is a compliment. <BR/><BR/>And, no Mr. Dauvit, I was not joking. The God that I serve, gave me a mind, with the capacity to reason for myself. Carrying capacity, and population vis a vis resources, ain't difficult to understand, if reality and living in harmony with nature as a human, (as opposed to being a 'brain washed debt inslaved, fiat currency believer consumer') is important to you. <BR/><BR/>As for exponential population growth, perhaps you did not follow the links; I provided. Here are a few more: <A HREF="http://navyjag-humint.co.nr/" REL="nofollow">Population Explosion Time Bomb and Consequences, by Money and Markets/Dept. of Navy Long Term Study</A>; <A HREF="http://exponential-yewgenics.co.nr/" REL="nofollow">Exponential Yewgenics (includes: Arithmetic, Population and Energy, by Al Bartlett), and Crash Course, by Chris Martenson</A>; <A HREF="http://pin2gong-humint.co.nr/" REL="nofollow">CIA & Pentagon on Population and Resource Wars</A>; <BR/><BR/>The population model I most subscribe to is carrying capacity organic farming one; as applied to politics, here is a brief excerpt: <I>It is essential to understand the reality of the world: When you look at a map of the world, you are not looking at countries, but farms. </I><BR/><BR/><I>It is important to understand the reality of ideologies: State capitalism, socialism, communism, fascism, democracy – these are all livestock management approaches. </I><BR/><BR/><I>Government schools are indoctrination pens for livestock. They train children to “love” the farm, and to fear true freedom and independence, and to attack anyone who questions the brutal reality of human ownership. Furthermore, they create jobs for the intellectuals that state propaganda so relies on.<BR/></I><BR/><BR/>Re your statements:<BR/><BR/><B><I>I seriously hope that I tick you off, and that you are so disgusted by my Catholic approach to over-breeding (oh God grant me many wonderful children that I may raise them to walk in Your ways and serve You, that is, assuming it's in Your will for me to marry) that you spend the rest of your days fuming and plotting ways to rid the world of me. Only please, please don't respond in words to what I've written, lest I die of aural torture before you have the chance to remove this future papa rabbit from earth.</I></B><BR/><BR/>You don't tick me off at all. Mr. Balfour; nor do I have any desire to exterminate you. I was only sharing an observation, about addressing root causes of problems. I am well aware that most men are so indoctrinated and brainwashed by Phallic Masonic worship $lave and Cannon Fodder dogma, which enables their Jesuit and Catholic Masters to continue living off their slavery and cannon fodder breeding habits. <BR/><BR/>If it is your choice to become, be and remain an ignorant slave, and sperm donor; I support you in being all you want to, and perhaps can be.<BR/><BR/>I don't doubt you shall find for yourself a suitable brainwashed slave sperm recipient breeding cow; and I wish you both all the best. <BR/><BR/>Interesting though. Not one of the men whom was surprised by my kinesthetic Parenting Test, and all of whom subsequently declined that they had been seriously committed to sincere libertarian fatherhood; have called to complain about my Fatherhood Parenting Test. <BR/><BR/>Here it is:<BR/><BR/><B><I>I am 41 years old, I have no children, although more than a few men have wanted me to bear their children; they failed to pass my commitment test for how much they love children, as opposed to how much they just want a woman with good genes to spread their sperm around the planet without being willing to give their lives for the children they want to procreate. </I></B><BR/><BR/><B><I>So they failed the commitment test: a very simple kinesthetic learning test. You see it is my opinion most of the men on the planet have imaginary fantasies about what excellent fathers they are, and how much they love children, and are committed to their children; and that 'fatherhood' is nothing but a 'little boy toy soldier' fantasy. So as an educator (most people learn better kinesthetically, i.e. by action, than by reading, or listening, whereby they only absorb a theory in their HEAD, kinesthetic learning is learning a principle IN YOUR GUTS, IN YOUR BONES, IN EVERY SINGLE CELL OF YOUR BEING). So my test is not an intellectual test (intellectual tests don't help children to know they are loved by their fathers), it is a kinesthetic test. </I></B><BR/><BR/><B><I>The man has to play Russian Roullette with me, 3 bullets each, to demonstrate that he is willing to risk his life, to demonstrate his commitment to emotionally, psychologically and spiritually BE THERE FOR THE CHILD HE INTENDS TO PROCREATE. </I></B><BR/><BR/>Anyway, Mr. Balfour, no doubt the $&CFB faction in the Catholic Church and Jesuit Society shall be only too pleased, they have yet another obedient, docile, submissive breeding debt slave... ; and if that makes you happy. I support you in doing whatever makes you happy.<BR/><BR/>Kind Regards<BR/><BR/>Lara JohnstoneAndrea Murrhteynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13455575591213217060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32869165.post-14340749917654036272009-02-17T14:46:00.000-07:002009-02-17T14:46:00.000-07:00@Psycho-eugenicist-/word for a female dog/Words - ...@Psycho-eugenicist-/word for a female dog/<BR/><BR/>Words - at least words that won't keep this from getting posted - fail me. Please, please, please for the love of God (whom, if you are serious, you probably don't worship) tell me you are joking.<BR/><BR/>My stomach turns at your words, and my mind whirls about in wonderment that you assert an exponential population growth when that is by far one of the most simplistic and silly population models. Anyone with a basic introduction to differential equations knows that there are several suitable models for population, whose usefulness depends on the information being sought with the model. The thoughtless assertion that population growth is exponential is unsubstantiated, silly, and...<BR/><BR/>Oh, forget it, it's not worth it to me to dig through a lot of mathematics that is rusty for me and probably incomprehensible to you, just to demonstrate that you are full of piles of steaming Stierscheisse. <BR/><BR/>I seriously hope that I tick you off, and that you are so disgusted by <I>my</I> Catholic approach to over-breeding (oh God grant me many wonderful children that I may raise them to walk in Your ways and serve You, that is, assuming it's in Your will for me to marry) that you spend the rest of your days fuming and plotting ways to rid the world of me.

Individuals can not fight this.<BR/>The Power Elite can bamboozle the mass of people, who sadly, will never be smart enought, or educated enough, to see the real playing field.<BR/>Ask any of them "why wouldn't you open your trunk if you've got nothing to hide", and they will say "true, only a guilty person will refuse". They will consider any good argument against that mere unintelligible sophistry and never be converted.<BR/>"Liberty rather than security?" They will choose the latter.<BR/><BR/>Our founders knew full well what they were doing when they limited the suffrage to those whom they perceived capable of exercising it. (of course Hamilton's presence was all around then too.) That is also why the Senate was indirectly chosen.<BR/><BR/>Libertarians are so steeped in their mode of thought, that they fail to see the most egregious lie of Star Trek and other Sci-Fi shows: while these show the future in 300+ years, the majority of people shown are always white, yet simple factual demographics prove that in much less time than that, this earth will be anything but primarily white, it is not now. And neither will USA and Europe be, just visit SoCal. <BR/><BR/>When some members of the Power Elite also preach libertarian values, then it is not because they have renounced their membership, but because advocating for these causes helps further the Elite's ultimate goal.<BR/>And this Power Elite is an elite of common thought and values only second, the primary binding element is much stronger than that.Murray T.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32869165.post-44415228501617633112009-02-16T18:21:00.000-07:002009-02-16T18:21:00.000-07:00MY COMMENTS are a bit off topicbut well done Bill...MY COMMENTS are a bit off topic<BR/>but well done Bill on your <BR/>appearance on the Dr Chris show<BR/>Its the first time I ve heard you<BR/>and I was impressed.<BR/> You re a great speaker<BR/>..

Although he only advocates wiping the competing gangsters politically rather than physically he then invokes the threat of using "big government" as a useful thug once it has been recaptured by his fellow Republicrats. He has always been a blowhard but has apparently crossed the line into lunacy. Perhaps he will start doing Ghost Dances to bring all the dead Republicans back as voters. His entire show is based on the nickel's worth (if that) of difference between the two gangs, excuse me, parties.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32869165.post-54214133662351333352009-02-14T16:37:00.000-07:002009-02-14T16:37:00.000-07:00"The Sneetches" wasn't Dr. Seuss's best work, eith..."The Sneetches" wasn't Dr. Seuss's best work, either. Maybe civil-rights allegories just naturally tend to veer into ham-handedness.<BR/><BR/>Just when I was thinking there might be some hope for Limbaugh -- the other day, he used the corporate-jet situation to make the case for "that which is not seen" almost worthy of Henry Hazlitt himself. I reckon every blind pig finds an acorn, now and then.<BR/><BR/><I>Kto kogo,</I> indeed. Perhaps there is something we who love liberty more than power can use in that thought: as the Professor once put it, "That we should wish to cast him down and have <I>no</I> one in his place is not a thought that occurs to his mind."<BR/><BR/>Be of good cheer, and alive to opportunity.Kenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04780425923108876647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32869165.post-29821859744587389902009-02-13T16:35:00.000-07:002009-02-13T16:35:00.000-07:00". . . a self-sustaining cycle of mutually reinfor...<I>". . . a self-sustaining cycle of mutually reinforcing hatred that will eventually be consummated in mass bloodshed."</I><BR/><BR/>Not meaning to be overly dramatic, but I wonder if mass bloodshed will be directed by Warshington at a certain region of the country, namely the South. After the indigenous population (and they have been dealt with), the South seems to be Warshington's most enduring and hated enemy, and like native Americans, southern people are expendable; the word "exterminate" seems always on the tip of somebody's tongue.Louisanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32869165.post-81855397525387475322009-02-13T15:13:00.000-07:002009-02-13T15:13:00.000-07:00For wicked men are found among my people,They watc...For wicked men are found among my people,<BR/><BR/>They watch like fowlers lying in wait;<BR/><BR/>They set a trap,<BR/><BR/>They catch men.<BR/><BR/>Like a cage full of birds,<BR/><BR/>So their houses are full of deceit;<BR/><BR/>Therefore they have become great and rich.<BR/><BR/>They are fat, they are sleek,<BR/><BR/>They also excel in deeds of wickedness;<BR/><BR/>They do not plead the cause,<BR/><BR/>The cause of the orphan, that they may prosper;<BR/><BR/>And they do not defend the rights of the poor.<BR/><BR/>"Shall I not punish these people?" declares the Lord,<BR/><BR/>"On a nation such as this<BR/><BR/>Shall I not avenge Myself?"<BR/><BR/>An appalling and horrible thing<BR/><BR/>Has happened in the land:<BR/><BR/>The prophets prophesy falsely,<BR/><BR/>And the priests rule on their own authority;<BR/><BR/>And my people love it so!<BR/><BR/>But what will you do at the end of it?Jeremiah 5:26noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32869165.post-53178979104574231362009-02-13T14:23:00.000-07:002009-02-13T14:23:00.000-07:00Will,I was trying to explain exactly this concept ...Will,<BR/>I was trying to explain exactly this concept to friend a couple of days ago, but, as always, you did it a lot better than I can; I gave up and sent him a link to your blog.<BR/>Congratulations on the new family member.<BR/><BR/>R.
