1. Figure out a way to get Relativity and Quantum Physics to agree. (right now both are considered true but both disagree with each other, a real doozy of cognitive dissonance)


2. Figure out WTF Dark matter is or if it exists at all (I don't think it exists, I think it simply shows our current subscription to general relativity as the model for most everything is flawed)


3. Figure out a way to remove the observer from Quantum physics (many scientists consider it a problem that consciousness plays any role in reality and view it as an error in how we interpret Quantum Physics..I disagree I think that the results are correct and consciousness does indeed play a role in reality) or make better sense of why the observer/consciousness is so critical to the experimental results. (this has been described as the SINGLE GREATEST problem facing modern science and the biggest obstacle for it to make any progress).
   
   
   
   1. If it is impossible to remove the observer from Quantum Physics the conclusion is inescapable: Conscious observers are critical to reality
   
   
   
   


4. Unify Particles and Forces


5. The Physical reasons or mechanism responsible for setting the free constants in the standard model or particle physics are "chosen" by nature somehow. We don't know why or how.

• Lebanon has a large christian population, specifically Maronite Christians


• They had a civil war between political groups of Christians vs Palestinian Muslims


• Israel armed and trained the Phalangist political party (christians) since they had a mutual hatred for Palestinian mulims


• The Phalangist leader Bashir was assassinated in 1982.


• Israel sent forces into Lebanon to help the Phalangists


• Two days after Phalangist leader Bashir was assassinated, the Israeli Defense Forces surrounded the Palestinian refugee camps of Sabra and Shatila, not allowing anyone to escape


• They then allowed the Phalangists to enter the camp


• 3,500 Palestinian unarmed women, children, old men etc are massacred.

1. DC Cops respond to incidents in Crystal City, Virginia


2. You can leave a hospital on the 3rd floor via elevator, run across the street to a building where you stashed your silence sniper rifle, and shoot the recovering patient all in the time it takes for a journalist to walk from the same elevator to the hospital room.


3. There is plenty of convenient parking in Washington DC
   
   


4. Reporters drink..ALL THE TIME


5. You can learn a lot of useful information from sweaty guys named Vic if you agree to not one, but two dates


6. Even after your best friend sleeps with your wife you can still continue to trust him, and should be astonished if he betrays you again.


7. You can shove a woman during busy morning commute onto the path of a train and there will be zero witnesses to see you do it.
   
   
   
   1. If you plan on shoving a woman onto the path of a train, and there are only 3 blind spots in the cameras in the metro, your victim will automatically stand right in the sweet spot.
   
   
   
   


8. The only purpose of parking garages in movies is for the psycho guy to stalk you. That and car chases.


9. If a story is important enough then people should have newsprint on their fingers when they read it. No need to you know, post it online or anything. It can wait.


10. Editors serve no purpose other than to let their reporters do whatever they want.

"Unfortunately you were given wrong information as was the public," McAllister wrote in the e-mail "All I have to say to you is Philip is a beautiful person inside and out and could not hurt a fly! A police officer in Boston (or many) is trying to make big bucks by selling this false story to the TV stations. What else is new?? Philip is an intelligent man who is just trying to life his life so if you could leave us alone we would greatly appreciate it. We expect to marry in August and share and wonderful, meaningful life together."

• The capitalists generate their wealth by exploiting employees. An employee is not paid according to the true worth of his labor but according to what the employer is willing to pay him. The employer pays him less than what his labor is worth so that the employer can make a profit when he sells the produce.


• Wealth and unequal distribution can create social problems (such as higher crime rates).


• Government interference in markets can be skewed to benefit the wealthy. In particular, wealthy people have the financial means and incentives to influence or corrupt government officials and to lobby for favorable legislation.


• Many people have little wealth left over after living expenses, so they can't make it grow quickly. This further deepens the disparity between rich and poor.


• Persistent long-term inequality of wealth undermines the motivation of the poor to improve their stance. This creates not only direct but perpetual sociological inequity.


• Wealthy people save relatively more than poor people. Hence some economists believe that an unequal distribution of wealth undermines an economy's mass buying power, effectively leading to lower aggregate sales, reduced wealth production, unemployment and crises.


• Wealth is defined and judged incorrectly, in many different ways. In particular, people may attach value to things for seemingly irrational reasons (sentimental value). Some may also value spiritual development more than material wealth. Capitalism's focus on absolute monetary value thus undermines the legitimacy of alternate paradigms.


• The wealthy may not put their wealth to productive use. For example, they may buy land just to deny access to it to others, for personal or environmental reasons. They may buy out other companies that produce better products but are a competitor, and then sit on the product not allowing it to be released to the public.


• When everything is done for profit, it creates immoral systems. For example, healthcare is currently for-profit. As a result insurance companies will seek whatever means possible to deny expensive care to people to maximize their profit. People who are poor can not afford health care and have a lower quality of life as a result. Many life-saving operations such as organ transplants are so expensive few can afford them and die instead.


• The disparity between the laborer and the employer is enormous. Currently many executives earn over 500 times what their employees earn.


• Companies can easily circumvent moral hazard of bad decisions by being 'too big to fail'. The company is so large and employs so many people that if it were to fail the entire nations economy would plunge. The companies can use this is blackmail to the Government forcing the government to grant large bailouts. This therefore encourages exploitative and damaging investments and tactics by companies.


• Capitalism encourages debt. Laborers are granted access to loaned money with interest, and encouraged to purchase large items they can not afford to purchase with cash like a house or a car or an education, and then enslaved to that debt for 30 years or more. By the time the debt is paid off the total money repaid is often times more than twice what was borrowed.


• Capitalism does not care about individual people, only profit. As a result many companies try to get as much labor as possible from as few people as possible, ideally eliminating employees all together. The drive for cheaper labor to maximize profits results in labor being imported from overseas, which takes away jobs from those who live within the capitalist nation.


• Capitalism encourages people to seek careers in whichever field generates the most income. Thus someone who would have been a promising teacher instead becomes an investment banker solely for the money. People do what pays the most, not what they love the most, or what they are naturally talented at. Vital work for social health such as teachers, social workers, librarians, are paid the least.


• Capitalism discourages the pursuit of pure science. Funding is easy to find for profitable fields such as baldness treatment, impotence, obesity, skin care and other cosmetic issues, while funding for pure sciences such as theoretical physics, space exploration, etc are much harder to obtain.


• Capitalism encourages people to seek to amass wealth and possessions rather than to help their fellow man or society. It breeds selfishness and discourages selflesness. There is no profit in helping those who have no means to repay you.


• Capitalism displaces justice. The wealthy can afford more talented lawyers and buy their way out of excessive jail time or punishments. They can afford higher fines and fees. The poor can not afford good legal defense and suffer harsher sentences as a result.

After your passenger spends 4 hours getting past airport security ("I Love Freedom" T-shirt draws extra attention from security) you can have your character attend a George Bush rally from behind the 1st amendment barbed wire fencing 3 miles from Bush's appearance where your character will be maced and beaten for being there. Then, to complete the trifecta of freedom your character can travel to the U.S.- Mexico border and help build the border fence while patrolling for hordes of brown skinned devils trying to sneak into our country and cut our grass.

I hear Playmobil is coming out with a waterboarding torture set. I think I'll wait for that and buy them together to save on shipping.

While I'm sure your child will love this do we really want to reveal our security secrets to the terrorists? I bet al-Qaeda is training the next generation with this very product. I am saddened to learn that Playmobile hates America.

I suggest that Playmobil stamp "Arbeit Macht Frei" above the passenger portal on this item.

1. The Father of the penguin in Batman returns wasn't the only guy who deserted his son because he was UGLY.


2. twirling head-on into the middle of the street without heeding traffic is a perfectly safe activity that only bad luck could turn into tragedy.
   


3. You can inherit a factory without ID.


4. Aging makeup still sucks


5. German submarines are no match for rickety tin tugboats


6. If you get shot several times by heavy machine gun through vital organs, you will still have enough time to say something really profound before you die.


7. Just because its 2009 does not mean we can not use the old 'Magical Negro' story device.


8. When your wife starts to show signs of age, abandon her and your newborn baby to ride a motorcycle and wash clothes in India, then return years later for some sex.


9. Dogs can live to be 30 years old


10. Even after being born with a fantastic mutation that reverse ages you, you can still lead a very boring, unremarkable life.

What I didn't love but I can't fix

"Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are ruined. The great object is that every man be armed. Everyone who is able may have a gun."
- Patrick Henry

"Militias, when properly formed, are in fact the people themselves and include all men capable of bearing arms."
- Trench Coxe

"What, Sir, is the use of a militia? It is to prevent the establishment of a standing army, the bane of liberty.... Whenever Governments mean to invade the rights and liberties of the people, they always attempt to destroy the militia, in order to raise an army upon their ruins."
- George Mason

"To preserve liberty, it is essential that the whole body of the people always possess arms and be taught alike, especially when young, how to use them."
- Richard Henry Lee

"Those who hammer their guns into plowshares will plow for those who do not."
- Thomas Jefferson

"The best we can help for concerning the people at large is that they be properly armed."
- Alexander Hamilton

"What country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance. Let them take arms."
- Thomas Jefferson

"Laws that forbid the carrying of arms...disarm only those who are neither inclined or determined to commit crimes. Such laws only make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assassins; they serve to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man."
-Thomas Jefferson

"Firearms stand next in importance to the Constitution itself. They are the people's liberty teeth and keystone... the rifle and the pistol are equally indispensable... more than
99% of them by their silence indicate that they are in safe and sane hands. The very atmosphere of firearms everywhere restrains evil interference. When firearms go, all goes,we need them every hour."
- George Washington

An assault rifle is a selective fire rifle or carbine firing ammunition with muzzle energies intermediate between those typical of pistol and high-powered rifle ammunition. Assault rifles are the standard small arms in most modern armies, having largely replaced or supplemented larger, more powerful battle rifles, such as the World War II-era M1 Garand and SVT-40. Examples of assault rifles include the AK-47, the M16 rifle, and the Steyr AUG.

Semi-automatic rifles, though confusingly classified in the USA as assault weapons by the now defunct 1994 Assault Weapons Ban, are not assault rifles as they are not selective fire. Belt-fed weapons or rifles with fixed magazines also do not meet the definition of an assault rifle.
