Alfie's Law of Equity
A Fixed amount of (x) can, by a given process, only produce and sustain
a fixed amount of (y), at a certain quality and standard of existence.
ie: For a given process, a pound of steel can only produce a certain fixed number
of nails of the same standard and quality.
Based on the fundemental laws of physics.

Well well well
This latest debockal involving Apple Computer
and Microsoft bespeaks loudly the unfairness of life perhaps though not that it should be dwelt on but my gosh wheres the common sense.
I often heard the real nature of "business" is stealing and selling other peoples ideas but gosh give us a break.
Apparently Apple invented the inards of the Ipod and started selling it without patenting.
After they start selling Microsoft applies for a patent on the idea that Apple comes up with so now Apple tries to patent "their" idea and it gets rejected cause the MS patent is sooner so now it looks as though Apple may have to pay a royalty on their own invention.
Well they said life wasn't fair I guess.
And they say too that honor is dead and so I guess both are true.
Well done Microsoft youre a credit to your greed and an example of "business" at its finest. In keeping with the World Coms and Exxon and Enron and what have you...
I see earthmonkeys on my computer screen
Bananas too
Isn't it amazing what these computers can do
and I think to myself what wacky unfair world.

AFTER THE BOMB
by a.g. jonas
Who won the cold war? Well I heard some say that the cold war wasn't necessarily won but successfully avoided and only by "luck" as it were.
I suppose it really doesn't matter somehow. The problem though was that the current state of affairs was never anticipated. No one anticipated the avoidance of the catastrophe it demanded. It perhaps was not even considered probable to arrive at our current situation so it was not planned for. No one anticipated the current reality. No one could see past the bomb, No one could even "imagine" past the bomb. John Lennon? well hmmmmm
None the less here we have arrived without a plan and without a vision and I suppose some opportunists ie: terrorists, have taken advantage of this lack of vision, leadership and foresight to impose their agendas of confusion. Thats perhaps how strong the enigma of the "bomb" was. It was perhaps a potential and power so vast that we somehow could not contain it and the imaginings it purported in us.
But here we are, like lost sheep in a post cold war, post bomb reality, a reality that defied and still seems to defy the odds. The bomb has been relatively contained or somewhat half heartedly accepted and we have in a sense transcended it for lack of a better sense but now we sort of aimlessly wander from day to day.
The Internet, that somehow was not anticipated either, even in the visionary annals say of "Startrek" and such, we have no precedence for this means of communication and whatever.
So what is this.... Is it perhaps a "success" of sorts a "mutual success" a mutual "compromise" a mutual reality. And where do we go from here. It is perhaps a blank canvas of sorts and a second chance of sorts for humanity. And an unprecedented one at that. Yet where are the visionaries, the poets with there pens, did they all take the last plane to the coast the day the planet died and they were singing bye bye miss american planet, took my chevy to the levy but the levy was....
Hmmmm just food for thought.... Nothing comes to mind at the moment except perhaps enjoying the passage of time.... and..... More >
