The new Hollywood blacklist

Lucy, I think the causes of Autism are as varied as the cause of runny noses.
I have read about the mercury preservative link and it doesn’t seem “strong”.
I have three autistic children, one had the vaccines with the preservative, the other two did not. I don’t offer that as proof but it does point to a genetic link.

if it were a ‘dog eat dog’ world, there’d be nothing but skinny cannibal dogs.
man evolved a brain for reasoning, not big claws or teeth.
what you have is tribes.
even chimps kill other tribes of chimps.
from this evolved specialized soldiers and a monopoly on force (government) and the glorification of sacrifice (altruism)
they look just like h. sapiens and can interbreed with them but their nature is to consume only – they never produce- which means their survival depends on taking from others. but a parasite that kills its host also dies, hence laws and regulations.
if one were to get all dawkiesque, one could define various subspecies of h. sapiens according to their beliefs – enculturation (sometimes also called philosophy) can effective prevent actual interbreeding (intellectual separation can be as effective as geography).
the prosperity of one of the subspecies allowed it to host a load that has increased in population to the extent that the host is in decline.
the parasitic species had evolved a method to consume its prey without violence – a form of animal husbandry where they raise a population of their consumable suspecies which have been specially memetically modified for the purpose. the cliche used in training a novitiate is ‘all they can do is say no’ (but the fact is that the breed does not know how to say no. they do whine when they suffer, though, and that behavior will simply be bred out of the philosophy.)
heh- it’s impossible for a logical case to be made that anybody is a victim when that ‘victim’ subspecies negotiates the terms with the parasite, ain’t it? if nobody refuses and none of them actually have a real gun in their faces or some thugs on the doorstep – if they can’t show a clear and present danger – how can they call it predation? they would have to actually refuse to even find out if their fears were valid – but they don’t breed their own offspring (teach – keeping with the dawkinsy stuff). they turn over their progeny to the parasite subspecies for training and memetic modification. that’s how domesticated this subspecies is.
and so – it is very easy to make a perfectly logical case that it ain’t rape if it’s negotiated and that the whingy ‘victim’ asked for it, paid for it, got it – and that is exactly as it is and ever shall be.
data proves that both agree on this.

there have been brief periods in human history when the population of the reasoning subspecies dominated the forum. they get the name ‘renaissance’. check the etymology. consider the implications.
these periods are maintained, usually, for but a single generation. the reason for this is because they fail to infect their progeny with the explicit philosophy that permitted their success. they lose the ability to define values objectively. they become so unhinged that the concept of refusal, which requires a minimal level of self confidence in one’s ability to reason that only grows from evidence which is only produced by rehearsal of it, is too much of an absolute to be incorporated into the memenome. the notion of an absolute is an antigen and can even bring about anaphilosophic shock.
when there are too few minds remaining in a culture that are able to explicitly define ‘good’ and ‘evil’ in a single sentence at age 4, the culture faces decline. when the prey can no longer say why he isn’t prey by nature – then he becomes that because the distinguishing characteristic of h. sapiens is that he must, by nature, define his own nature – or, better said, a man’s owner has the sole responsibility and sole ability to define the nature of the owned.
and everybody wants to belong – but not to himself…lol
that’s why i love the westboro gang – they are a lot smarter than most of the population in recognizing that things are what they are and there ain’t no shouldawouldacoulda. they provoke outrage because they cruelly taunt ‘sheep’ for being ‘sheep’ and wailing that they shouldn’t be what they are. they don’t loathe themselves and they are able to explicitly damn the self loathers who believe in and support and pay for and suffer the consequences of their self loathing – then go on to howl that they shouldn’t be what they worked so damn hard to be.
once you lose the ability to judge – you lose what made you a reasoning creature by definition.
when you fear to judge because judgement itself is a shibboleth, nature will judge you and that’s when we leave dawkins and go attend your darwin award ceremony.

Kyocera has every right to say no to someone that agrees or disagrees with Global Warming. It is or should be the right of every private party or person to hire or deny hire someone based on political colors. The author of this piece forgot the difference between a public institution and a private part.
It is like someone protesting that Wattsupwiththat wouldn’t let them write global warming.

Agreed. Certainly heredity is a big factor. And my, you have a handful. I wish you well.
But there is a factor with the vaccine: strong correlation. One way to see this is that it takes that extra straw to break the camel’s back. But my real beef here is the injustice dealt to Dr Wakefield – as well as the roadblock in the way of research down this line.

Part of Stein’s case involves the claim that the chap Kyocera hired instead “appropriated his image”. Nothing could be further from the truth. Not only has Morici been wearing glasses, bow ties and sports jackets for years (evidence: http://www.rhsmith.umd.edu/news/stories/2008/morici-testimony.aspx) but unlike Stein, he actually IS an economics professor, as portrayed in the commercials.
Stein-0, Truth-1

Do they also then have the right to copy his persona and appearance? Maybe, in the end, it had less to do with his views than the fact that they wanted to save money. Aren’t there any passing off laws in America? If they wanted to drop him for his views they should not then have copied him. Dishonest from every point of view.

Please pardon the editing errors in my previous post. I also meant to add that, while Morici has written very little on climate issues (and solely from an economic perspective), his bête noire has long been America’s trade deficit with Japan (and others). Ironic that he will now be shilling for a Japanese multinational..

Will someone ask god why he kills little babies with tornadoes and hurricanes, but leaves people like Al Gore untouched?
