Where "Super Heroes" Walk The Street

Phoenix Jones is a man who likes leather .... he's also a good citizen and loves his home city of Seattle.

New Phones And Other Technology

I just bought a new phone that is a 'touch' phone ..... I mention this only because I was reminded  once again how fast the technology has moved since I last bought a phone. I now remember why I always hang on as long as possible to my old ones ..... I have just spent a good day learning how to  operate the phone in new ways, that are not intuitive to an old dog like me ..... and this wasn't an expensive android phone LOL

From this


The first "mobile" phone

To this ......


Android Operating system 2010 

... in just 35 years! What a world of advances we live in ..... the technology just keeps advancing like a form of magic ..... its easy to see why some people think it is just that .......

Clarke's Third Law

"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."

— Arthur C Clarke

"If it is distinguishable from magic, it's not advanced enough."

— Anonymous

"The essence of magic is to determine the root cause of all things. There's no distinction between science and magic. The power of magic is like those of science. Meaning, it's at the forefront of the times!"

A Lesson In Democracy?

Today the Sudanese Christians of Southern Sudan have started the process of getting away from their Muslim overlords .....

..... it remains to be seen if it passes off peacefully, or even at all, as the South has all the oil. Of course the South is cripplingly poor, after decades of attacks by Muslim 'government' troops, followed by internal conflict and being starved of oil revenues, so the chances of the fledgling state ever developing into anything more than another desperate Black African failed state are slim, but at least they are trying.

In theory, there should be no trouble, as Pres. Bashir (yes the one from the Mohammed Teddy bear row, and wanted by Interpol for genocide crimes) has promised rather like a latter day Pharaoh to let them go.

However, should they succeed  then the message is out that those states tied in a loveless partnership with others they despise, can escape this bond by peaceful means. Nigeria springs to mind but parts of Indonesia (where the Christians of  East Timor seceded in 1999 but other Christians are still being attacked), and some African states such as Buruni and Rwanda also have issues that might be resolved peacefully by referendum, we can only hope .....

Update 2017:

Sadly these hopes were dashed by the usual African taste for violence and guns and South Sudan has descended into violent chaos.

The Real Story The BBC Wont Tell

The PC driven BBC has reported on yet another Muslim, Pakistani paedophile rape ring operating in the UK ... however in the radio reports they don't mention the racial and religious aspects of the gang.... all the victims (one aged 12) were white, non Muslims.


Child Rapists

All the gang were non white, Muslim men of Pakistani descent. 

 

You Know Things Are Going Badly Wrong When ....

... Drunken Prisoners are rioting and burn down their cell blocks .......


4 Drunken prisoners refused to be breath tested and started
a riot burning the prison cell blocks

... they no doubt believed that their 'Human Rights' were being impinged .... the "right to a private life" probably covers breath testing prisoners .....

The fact that prisoners can freely obtain alcohol in the UK says everything about what 'Law and Order' has descended to here.
