History

The last 100 years are full of political failures. From the Nationalsozialismus  to the United of Soviet Socialist Republics, millions have died of neglect, intentional genocide and the horrors of starvation due to the lack of resources. Either through warfare, or economic collapse, these forms of government failed and history proves they don't work. 

Currently, many in the United States government have embraced the ideology that led to these forms of progressive governments. The similar promises of change and a better life for every citizen is eerily similar and only forecasts the destructive eventualities. 

So, if you're following this line of thought, and have some bizarre idea this experiment will be any different, your ability to reason is flawed and you should abstain from voting in the next election. The entire world will be become better due to your restraint and honest assessment. I'll thank you before you make this logical choice.  

Guest Workers

I think anyone that uses that term should have be sent across the border and threatened with bodily harm if they return.

Guest workers my ass.

Isaac Victims

I feel for all that are suffering from dealing with Isaac. The best description is: It sucks. May your recovery be speedy and the officials stay out of your way.

Fear Mongering

There are a few respected weathermen predicting doom, which isn't necessary. They get paid to be dramatic, but their effort to get the best ratings is disrespectful of the ignorance of their audience and demeans the reputations of all meteorologists. Scaring the crap out of people is not something to be proud of, unless you run a haunted house, or are Stephen King.

At this time, even the National Hurricane Center isn't forecasting an exact landfall position or strength for Isaac. They have an idea, but aren't willing to bet.

So, stop the crap. Thinking you're saving lives is BS and only endangers people that were never in danger in the first place.

Oh The Horror

A snippet from the NHC report:

"...THE TRACK FORECAST BEYOND DAY 2 HAS BECOME PROBLEMATIC. DYNAMICAL

MODELS DEPICT THE CYCLONE MOVING INTO A BREAK IN THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE NORTH OF THE GULF COAST IN ABOUT 72 HOURS. HOWEVER THERE IS A LARGE SPREAD AMONG THE MORE RELIABLE TRACK MODELS. FOR EXAMPLE... THE ECMWF FORECAST IS ABOUT 300 N MI EAST OF THE GFS SOLUTION AT DAY 3. SINCE THE DYNAMICAL MODEL CONSENSUS HAS SHIFTED WESTWARD...THE OFFICIAL TRACK FORECAST IS MOVED A BIT TO THE WEST OF THE PREVIOUS ONE. THIS REQUIRES AN EXTENSION OF THE HURRICANE WATCH WESTWARD ALONG THE LOUISIANA COAST. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THERE IS GREATER THAN USUAL UNCERTAINTY IN THE TRACK FORECAST..."

I highlighted the part that means nobody is really sure what happens in two days, which is the time this critter will find some place to go ashore.

What happens? The local Emergency Management officials start preparing to send everyone down the highway, where they spend lots of money, find they're the prey of thieving hotel owners, criminals, unscrupulous businesses and face the possibility of being hit by a tornado in the small town they end up hundreds of miles from the coast.

You can't win. Everyone is doomed.
