Month: August 2012

  • Agenda21 in Prop31’s clothing (Addended)

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regular KVMR commentary that was aired on 31 August 2012.] Last Tuesday August 28th the Nevada County Board of Supervisors took up Propositions 30 and 31 that we will vote on in November.  The best I could make out at that well attended meeting was that Supervisor…

  • The Big Asymmetry (Addended)

    George Rebane A recurring theme on RR has been debating the fundamental asymmetry giving rise to the polarization between conservatives embracing liberty and free market capitalism, and liberals embracing big government socialism.  The Great Divide is one foci of the debate about how to resolve this asymmetry.  The nearby graphic communicates the essence of this…

  • Why it’s so damn hard to be a Democrat (updated 30aug12)

    George Rebane I have long maintained that I don’t understand why self-proclaimed ‘patriot’ Democrats are doing everything possible to torpedo this fair land, and make it into a shadow of a failed socialist state, or worse.  I’ll start with the worse. Radical Islamists are already entrenched in the US among the non-radicalized silent majority of…

  • Europe’s Financial Dominoes

    George Rebane Here’s a succinct picture of Europe’s immediate financial concerns.  Does anyone see any stability in any of it?  (Here’s a little tutorial on how to read and reason with influence factors diagrams.)

  • Introducing RR Glossary and Semantics – latest V6feb19

    George Rebane This post launches a new and deplorably tardy category in RR, one that will contain ready access to the definitions and extended meanings of terms, notions, and ideas discussed and debated in these pages.  I plan to make the glossary and semantics (G&S) available on two separate documents that can be downloaded as…

  • Obama’s Address of National Issues (updated 31aug12)

    “Y’all can’t get the water to clear up, until you get the turd out of the creek.”  East Tennessee wisdom. George Rebane A leading local leftie commented again at length on ‘Behold a Pale Horse …’.  There he lamented that viewing and discussing the films I reported on will keep people from hearing those few…

  • ‘Behold the Pale Horse’ in ‘2016’ (updated 27aug12)

    George Rebane This week with friends, Jo Ann and I attended showings of the two titled movies about the state of our country and its portents.  They are excellent albeit disturbing summaries of the notions and issues that we have been discussing on RR for the last five years.  Definitely worth seeing for those whose…

  • Another California Brainfart

    George Rebane “The sages of Sacramento have done such a splendid job of not adequately funding California’s public pensions that now they want to do the same for non-government workers. Their latest brainstorm is to establish state-administered retirement plans for workers in the private economy.  This is not a joke. … .” as reported in…

  • Ruminations – 21aug12

    Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other. – John Adams George Rebane So where’s all the wildlife? asks a visitor to a local pond and hiking trail here in Nevada County.  Our cartoonist RL ‘Bob’ Crabb drew this little funny filched…

  • Singularity Signposts – More Rapid Systemic Unemployment

    George Rebane Regular readers have known for some years what portents the American factory and warehouse worker has in store for his future employment prospects.  I initially calculated that the number of un/deremployed would be about 40 million by 2020.  It has been clear for some time now that this estimate is too low.  I…
