My Views of Utopia

There will be a world-wide network of major city-nations in the hundreds of millions. Mile high buildings will house tens to hundreds of thousands each. The majority of Earth's surface will be 'left to the wild.'

Communication, transportation, and distribution of goods follow the same routes world-wide.
Quantum level communications will allow instant access of information by every citizen.
Data hubs [former servers] are accessed through a 'second world.' Anyone in that world of virtual possibilities follows a set of protocols [rather than 'laws']. Any economics applied 'in-world' is not subject to the same rules in reality [see economics below]. Personal Information and Privacy lost the war against the Freedom of Information Act of 2012. Each individual is now responsible for hir own on-line person and personality.

Technology will leap to mega-proportions in construction, where what takes 5 to 10 years will only take 1 year. There is no longer a need for separate constructions, with all of its delays and logistics problems we saw in the early 2000s.

Mass-gravity has finally been conquered. Access to 'zero mass' transit is available to any citizen. Travel to any point in the world is now possible by flight without fuel consumption restrictions. There are still requirements for protection from air friction as well as safety-comfort conditions. Air "cars" will fly at higher altitudes and rate of speeds than personal "flyers." Air "ships" will afford comfortable accommodations for transcontinental travel at any speed.

Production of foods and essential items is no longer centralized. Factories have replaced farms utilizing resource material rather than land area. Distribution of goods is now computer controlled using supply-demand-distance mathematics. Emphasis is localization and easy duplication of manufacturing.

Every citizen, except the military is posted a 'one million dollar' account at maturity. This was based on the 40-year income-spending of the 2020s. Except for the State provided housing, each adult is responsible for their own life, given the same access to information, services, and necessities required. All transactions are posted in their own accounting database. When for any reason a person is 'terminated' from society, any purchases made becomes the property of the State. Death, conviction leading to military assignment, and voluntary removal fall into this category. Every transaction, big or small will have a ten percent 'tax' to be distributed to the various levels of services. The rule of 1-2-3-4 applies [local to national].

Gone are the specialized occupations of retail, law, insurance, financial speculation. Government workers are still necessary to the proper running of any society, regardless of the race, creed, or geography. Everyone is drafted into a public service or government office, based early on their aptitude. Administrative officers are drawn from a lottery of government office workers. Terms are for four years, after which there is no re-call or pension. Once done, they return to their former way of life.

Interactions between peoples is no longer enforced by legislative means. Rather, a system is enforced where a true class-less society may practice their religious, social, and other needs, ONLY within their own homes or designated enclosed public areas. Everyone has rights, as long as it doesn't infringe on the rights of others. There is no denial of access based on gender or appearances or orientation. There is no longer any outward show of the use of alcohol, drugs, tobacco, or anything once considered offensive or a pollutant. The removal of materialistic desires has led to the reduction of all crimes at all levels.

Boredom is the biggest problem with populations in the hundreds of millions, 98% of which is unemployed. Even with state run entertainment and access to all information around the world, there will be malcontents. A cadre of Street Judges patrol the streets, skies, and halls of the city. Each is empowered to meet out 'instant justice.' Creating a nuisance to bodily harm to destruction of property are dealt with harshly, up to the temporary removal of access to all but the most basic of services. Potential Judges are trained early in life, based on desired physique and psyche profiles. Unlike occupational aptitude testing, training is more rigorous. A 95% 'drop-out' rate still go into more specialized services, such as medical, technological, surveillance, etc.

The bulk of the military is composed of those convicted of crimes against persons or property. They are conscripted, trained, and stationed away from the general population. Long-term incarceration, never being a force for rehabilitation, is abandoned as a practice. Worse offenders are placed farther away from civil population centers in 'special' groups.

Sample crimes...
- Experimentation and use of animals as pets has been outlawed. As such, there are reports of people enhancing plants as an alternative;
- Use and transportation of banned substances and materials in public;
- Interfering with, harming, or any action resulting in the death of any person or process;
- Having more than one job- "moonlighting"

$pectrum of Money

THE Following refers to individuals, not organizations.

 Although most do tend to group within their own level. A person may “move” between different colors, depending on their current situation. This by no means a science or study of any kind. These are only my personal observations.

RED
Unemployed and deep in debt. May be homeless, without any resources available to them. Psychologically broken. Will not likely turn to crime, having a more down trodden nature.

ORANGE
Unemployed or deep in debt, but with some resources available to them. Under some form of government assistance. Renters or homes foreclosed. A small minority may turn to petty crime. Prisoners and institutionalized people fall into this category.

YELLOW
Cautious spender- target of most lenders. These are the ones that make it in the news as filing complaints and asking for help. Mostly families with children. Pretty much stays within the system.

GREEN
Middle income Majority. This is pretty much most of us consumers. Generally families with the most average lifestyle. Full time employment with spending within the norms for credit to income. These are the ones that vote, participate in polls, protest marches, and charities. Leisure and entertainment is not a problem for them.

BLUE
Inherited into money; privileged. May be philanthropists, knowing there will be tax breaks and publicity. Generally self-satisfied and not prone to illegal activities.

INDIGO
Government band of the spectrum. Not specifically the politicians, but relies upon those in office. To some extent, monies are also being used in political campaigns and various organizations, profit or non-profit. Not visible to the general public.

VIOLET
Wealthiest individuals and families of movers. CEOs of big business. Politicians and celebrities. Very much visible in the news media.

ULTRA-VIOLET
Hidden Wealth; Power; not under any jurisdiction. Not known to the general public.

INFRA-RED
"Off the grid" Mostly homeless. But also includes those who decide not to be part of the general population.

A Week in July                                                            7/21/2011  7:25 pm a Thurssday

Quote of the day: “A house divided has no ceiling”

Idiots in the News this week...
- Suspect who died in a confrontation with San Francisco police officers on Saturday in the Bayview neighborhood appears to have fired the fatal shot from his own pistol…no comment;
- John Edwards' campaign owes the government more than $2 million…to be audited prior to his judgment before God;
- three people who were swept over a waterfall in Yosemite…rails are there for a reason, not because it’s a pretty place for a Kodak moment;
- Michele Bachmann yesterday responded to questions about her migraine headaches by releasing a letter from her doctor saying she is in good health…mentally, notwithstanding;
- Sixteen suspected members of "Anonymous" were arrested this morning in states across the country…hackers hacked…never heard of avatars;
- Whoever termed "Carmageddon,” the feared traffic jam from the long-publicized weekend shutdown of the Los Angeles freeway…actually had a calm pass off and life was back to normal early Monday.

Watching the news early in the day. Some things just piss me off.
  [I originally thought about saying "depressing" bur felt "pissed" adds more flavor to my comments]
-  Libya...why the hell would we fund the rebels? Doesn't Hillary know that we can't just print money like it was nothing? No one officially helped us in our battles! I hardly see how scattered combatants can be considered a 'legitimate' government.
-  L.A.'s Carmageddon closing of a section of 405 will change life as we know it. Really!?
-  I am all for adding the contributions of LGBT in social studies. I am against stressing that they are LGBT. Just like current ethnic histories, it should be an elective.
- I feel bad for the guy who fell into a blowhole. But what the hell was he standing there for? The family wants to blame someone for not putting up signs?! Hello, it's a blow hole!
-  Obama was ordering pizza and accidentally reached the shuttle crew fixing the ISS toilet.
- California woman who allegedly [that stupid word again] cut off husband's penis may be sent to a penal colony if found guilty.
- British hacking...tsk tsk sheame on you! Next time get lessons from the FBI, NSA, CIA, FCC, INS-ICE, and the Girl Scouts. Don't get caught!
- Fruitvale District, BART station and Intermational to 35th area, not Dimond, even though it IS on Fruitvale. Now under police surveillence. Not just streetside, but inside some establishments. Good! if it works. Just like if you call 911 elsewhere, goo luck on getting help.

“Obama has announced that Osama bin Laden has been killed
Finally! HALO and other video game training sees results!

Will Obama be viewed as a murderer because he admittedly ordered the death of Osama?

He was in a mansion. All along others have been saying that he was not hidden in a ‘Batcave.’ All this time he was in Wayne Manor, Pakistan! Neighbors will probably be interviewed, “He was such a nice man. Very quiet. We had no idea.”

Steve Moyer says Bin Laden died of boredom, watching the Oakland A's.
Actually the second thing the special operations team did was cut off his Direct TV. Right after they delivered his pizza.

The new series CHAOS was put on hiatus to keep the CIA out of the all too public entertainment media.

The timing is impeccable! May 1, 2011. May Day. “5/1” will replace the popularity of the “9/11” phrase. 

Watching the news...I love that right now, in this space of time, there are no "Republicans" and "Democrats" just AMERICANS...
That's why they timed this announcement for a late evening weekend. To catch the politicians off guard, not able to immediately put their two cents in. Come Monday morning, they'll be jumping on the band wagon from their richly appointed homes!
March 2009 Obama declared the end the “War on Terror.” -- or at least the use of that phrase -- has been codified at the Pentagon.

DUDE I don't want to see you! not your cabinet! not your promise to change! I want you out now, not in September.

Current news in the Arab World
Rather than what looks like war coming out of the Arab world, it is evolution...to what, no one knows.

The 'work for basic necessities' in a 'credit capital' system does not seem to be working. Something we in the US are not immune to. I stated elsewhere that the 10% [unemployment] might be the breaking point for us. We might be seeing a repeat of the fall of Communist Soviets. Besides ousting presidents and corrupt governments, each of these nations will be looking at each other to see what works. Kuwait for example is 'giving' food and what I call a rebate to all of its citizens. A concept that is not new. 2012 Northern Africa will be a phoenix! This unrest will not end up like its neighbors to the north-east.
---------------------------------------------------
The unrest in North Africa is about the lack of  'work for basic necessities' and the government corruption that led to it. It is sparked and fanned by incidents of self-immolation and social media [FaceBook]. Not 'the Muslim Brotherhood' or calls for Jihad/Caliphate as some political-evangelists keep yelling on cable TV at the top of their lungs [more on this later]. The first group were the completely down-trodden, harrassed by local police, shred of all dignity in a society where that is sacred [ok don't get me started with 'life is worth a few thousand dollars, a year in jail, and free publicity' in the US]. The second group are well-educated, some from influential families, all disgusted...not violent.

There will be those that will do violence, just for the sake of violence...no side or purpose. That's why it's called a powderkeg.

Raves, flash mobs, and 'let's all meet at Tahrir Square.' FB has been said to be the cause of Tunisia's downfall. That's arrogant. The attempted blackout of FB, the Internet, and now the violence towards jornalists who jump in to get puched- the Geraldo Rivera syndrome. The different forms of media, like fire, are tools. Dangerously unpredictable.

 US backs transition? No one has an idea what to transition to! Not the Egyptian president [he's a fool with his head in the sand], not the people protesting, not the other nations in north Africa.

Oh, my opinion...NO US troops!
I hope it does not become military. US intervention of our 'ideals' is not what they need. "Stay on your sides of the treaty neutral zone!"- a Klingon warning

Smallville on the WB
I had said so before on October 16 last year "The truth about Chloe...she wasn't abducted as it seems. She is either the new White Queen or The Oracle/Watchtower. But she IS the [reluctant?] head of the Suicide Squad. And everyone in the SS is supposed to be dead, at least as the world sees it. So Chloe fits in by taking cyanide, then having the antidote." In the comics, Barbara Gordon/Oracle/Watchtower provides information to the SS.

The real 'twist' of this episode was Chloe being asked to be a bride's maid...we never saw the proposal! I hope the actual wedding doesn't turn out followed by tragedy like Chloe-Jimmy Olsen'Doomsday. Or like Lois and Clark! As the season/series ends, I hope it ties up all loose ends...the final fates of J'onn J'onzz, Lex Luthor, Tess Mercer. For the final scene, I would like to see a hundred on-screens at the Watchtower, Clark and Lois flying past the window, Chloe and Tess acknowledging "Watchtower on-line" Fade to black.

I would be interested to see a single DC Universe series that focuses on a different character or group each week. How they interact. The animated Justice Leage series was popular not to kids, but to those that grew up to DC comics. It did not generalize everything into a grand fight scene at the end of every episode. Instead it focussed on personal interactions. Sometimes with just two characters involved, with what is happening around them just...background. Everyone can recite the legends of Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman. The show gave us insights on The Question's conspiracy paranoia, the Huntress' self-doubts, Hawkman's eternal love for Shayera. This is supposed to be a new decade of enlightenment. Contrary to the campiness of the '60s, the feminist/modern '70s, and the darkness of the '90s. It takes good writers to make a series, not just a script for a 'one-shot' movie focussing on one hero.

Smallville has proven one thing...no one works alone. Clark has always tried to bear the burden of responsibility on himself. Kept his secret even from those closest to him who eventually figure it out anyways. Who respect him enough to let him reveal his secret in his own way, rather than confronting him. Reluctantly, every character with an ability teams up with others. League Justice, Legion, Suicide Squad, the Society.

Television and Entertainment
Smallville..the final season. For those that know DC Comics history 1960 to the early '90s...1970 starts now! Rumors are brought up, scenes from upcoming episodes show things about the Smallville/DC world that would not surprise fans of Superman. Starting from Clark being his own worst enemy, Lois being his greatest weakness. Past episodes/seasons have hinted of a "darkness coming" one that will test him" [Clark]. The final scene of season 10, episode 1 shows none other than Darkseid! Introducing Jack Kirby's Fourth World and The New Gods of 1970. Jump to 1987, after the Crisis of Infinite Earth's. The faith of the general public towards its heroes is tested in the Legends story arc.
It is 1986 in Smallville. Legends has Darkseid, Glorious Godfrey, and Granny Goodness sowing the seeds of doubt in all heroes / vigilanties. Task Force X / Suicide Squad and the US government's Vigilante Registration Act is gearing up for the upcoming battle.

Lois and Clark will explore their relationship leading in to...Lois and Clark! The truth about Chloe...she wasn't abducted as it seems. She is either the new White Queen or The Oracle/Watchtower. But she IS the [reluctant?] head of the Suicide Squad. And everyone in the SS is supposed to be dead, at least as the world sees it. So Chloe fits in by taking cyanide, then having the antidote.

WB Entertainment [which owns DC, Comics et al] had a short lived series titled Birds Of Prey which eventually became a comic book series. It involved a Watchtower similar to Chloe's, building, hacking, communications, and the main character mentoring a new hero. Barbara Gordon [Batgirl], Helena Kyle [Huntress] and Dinah [Black Canary] are the central cast. All takes place in a darker Gotham City, years beyond the current continuity. Helena is the daughter of Batman and Catwoman.

[HOW BEING CRITICAL CAN ADD VALUE]
hmm forgive me, but I am not sure where to post my comment. CW or WW on FB? or WW? oh well...
Is the glass half full or half empty. I ask 'does the glass exist?' Science dictates that matter [in this case, the glass] is 99% empty space, so there will always be holes, no matter how much time and research you put into it [the written work]. The act of observing makes changes, more so with writing those observations or opinions or professional facts. The changes could, hopefully, be to your liking most of the time. Either way, things will never be as they were [this is part of the Heisenberg effect].

Addenda...
As you can see, I pretty much apply physical science to social science, at least on a basic level. I admit, I have yet to achieve the Art rather than just the Science. And beyond that, of course, is the Religion.

[re Tyler Clementi, Rutgers student, suicide]
It is difficult to grasp the death of one so young, more so because was "helped" to get there.
VRW- Every young death is a tragedy. Some are so fragile at that age and some are so cruel.
And how long WILL this tragedy stay in our minds. Only as long as it is news? Will the ones responsible be investigated? the one who had sex with him? the one who posted it? Or will this become a final 30 second blurb? After "police responds to burglary, and shoots family pet- arthritic dog?"...to be forgotten along with every young victim of a street-side shooting.

He's not the first, you know. There was this teen who committed suicide after her sexual activity was posted. By her friend.

I would nerver want a CEO as governor or President.
Constituents = Employees = Hunan[s as] Resources.

"...down to the local level..." means 'let them take care of it.'

...Given a choice between a person who knows how to run a compaany, but knows nothing about government, and one who is the opposite, I trust the politican more...sorry. Fact: the governor is only a "say yay or nay" person; the power is in the political parties opposing each other to a stand-still.

As for the mud-slinging, it makes for boring entertainment. If I hear anything more about how bad Brown did as mayor, which is another attack on Oakland, I would hypothetically $*#*&^ her!

Would you hire an undocumented worker?
Yes, I would. if I feel s/he were of good character and looked qualified to do the work. References, especially from anyone I know is better. Anything that require a certified and credentialed professional by law, no I would not. Any document can be forged, so again, I look at the character of the person I am hiring. Every person has a moral right to work and earn wages, even if it is below 'minimum wage.' No one is forced to work, I do not believe in someone saying that 'foreigners' are "stealing Americans' jobs"! Money does not say 'For US Citizens Only."

Just my opinions...don't hate me for it! But if you feel the need to change my mind, i am open [for your eventual exit].

re Meg- she's "buying" votes and bragging that she can do anything she pleases. Her "supporters" are those that will show up in the Lobby when she sits in the high chair! And don't be fooled by her rhetoric...she's a socialist and a fascist!
