GEORGE BUSH:
BIG BROTHER, BIG SPENDER, ENDANGERER OF
AMERICAN LIVES
GEORGE BUSH:
BIG BROTHER, BIG SPENDER, ENDANGERER OF
AMERICAN LIVES
06/27/2004 01:00 PM
It seems hardly a week goes by
without another astounding revelation of the Bush Regime's agenda to
intervene without limit into the lives of Americans, and everyone in
the world, to further its right-wing, psychopathic agenda. Here's the
latest grim news:
Bush plans to screen all Americans for
'mental illness': As reported in the British Medical Journal,
under another Orwellian program entitled, in Bush Newspeak, 'The
New Freedom Initiative',
Bush wants all Americans, including pre-school children, to be
examined
by armies of psychiatrists and those showing signs of potential
"disruptive or aggressive behaviours and emotional disorders", and
treated with a range of new, expensive antidepressants and
antipsychotic drugs available exclusively from -- surprise! --
pharmaceutical companies that have contributed three times as much to
Bush as to Kerry. This is a flagrant invasion of government into the
private medical histories and choices of Americans -- Big Brother
doping up American children. The plan, developed in Texas, has been
decried there as a massive payoff to the drug companies, and this new
initiative makes it a national program. An executive who blew the
whistle on kickbacks from pharma companies to the Texas legislators
was
fired for his indiscretion, the BMJ reports.
More foreign journalists terrorized,
deported by US Customs:
The Guardian tells the increasingly common story of harassment,
detention and intimidation of British and other 'friendly nation'
journalists when they attempt to enter the US. Although this treatment
is mild compared to the now-routine despicable, arbitrary and
sometimes
lethal abuse that people born in the third world face at the US
border,
it is evidence that the megalomanic and paranoid Homeland Security
brownshirts are now treating every non-American, and every American
with a foreign-sounding name or appearance as an enemy of the state,
and treating them accordingly. It's a government-run hate factory run
amok.
In other depressing and
under-reported US news:
Balance of payments debt reaches
another record:
A statistic watched closely by economists, but not really understood
by
the media, is the Net International Investment Position (NIIP), the
cumulative total of foreign investment and trade deficits. The Center
for American Progress analyzes the unprecedented degree to which the
US, and global, economy depends on willingness of the US's trade
partners to continue to finance the US's insatiable demand for foreign
goods and services, especially in the increasingly weak US dollar. See
my earlier articles for the explanation
of the danger. But take a look at the chart above to see how far it's
gone, surpassing $2.5 trillion
dollars, a fourth of the entire US economy, last year. Imagine what
would happen if the foreign creditors get nervous and decide to call
in
their debt, or at least denominate it in some other currency. Imagine
what will happen when
interest rates spike, and the interest on this debt alone suddenly
exceeds the lenders' ability to repay it without slashing domestic
spending and massively increasing taxes. That's exactly what happened
to Argentina, and to the Asian 'tiger' economies. Except this time,
the
bankrupt debtors will take the creditors with them.
Heard the latest about anthrax?: There has been
surprisingly little blather from the Bush machine about the recent
revelations (in the 9/11
report
etc.) that Al Qaeda has planned, and still plans, an anthrax-based
bioweapons attack on US soil. The group claiming responsibility for
the
Madrid bombings said that Operation "Winds of Black Death", involving
a
planned attack on the United States, was 90% complete. Attorney
General
Ashcroft has described the statement as coming from an Al Qaeda
spokesman. But while senior government and all military personnel now
get the (still risky and somewhat unreliable) anthrax vaccine, plans
to
administer or at least stock vaccine for all Americans appears
to have been abandoned.
So while Homeland Security wastes time (and America's reputation)
harassing harmless foreigners and torturing Iraqi inmates, this real
threat to Americans' security is ignored. It's almost enough to make
you think they are perversely hoping for another 9/11, or worse, to
get
re-elected.
Scary stuff. Michael Moore and Ralph Nader were both up in Canada this
week urging Canadians not to make the same mistake as Americans by
electing a Conservative government here on Monday. As I've reported
already,
even if the Conservatives get a plurality they won't be able to forge
a
lasting governing coalition. Michael and Ralph have their work cut out
for them in their own country, however. I'll have more to say about
both of them next week.

Expensing's Seven Lives
Expensing's Seven Lives
06/16/2004 11:33 AMMercury News (reg req): Panel
OKs measure to block expensing. A congressional committee
overwhelmingly approved legislation Tuesday that would block a
proposal to force companies to deduct the cost of stock options.
This is a cheap vote by committee members for legislation
they surely suspect will never become law. It shouldn't become law.
The system has worked to the vast benefit of Silicon Valley companies,
which understandably want to keep the gravy train rolling, but now
they should do the right thing. The time has long since passed when
companies should honestly reflect the value -- the cost to
shareholders -- of stock options in their income statements.
Shareholders will understand, if reported earnings drop due to
expensing of options, that nothing fundamental in the company has
changed. Today, profits are overstated, and shareholders seem to grasp
that without much trouble. They aren't as stupid as the tech industry
seems to think.

New
generation lives to see another Che "Che Guevara is widely
remembered as a revolutionary figure, to some a heroic, Christ-like
martyr, to others the embodiment of a failed ideology. To still
others, he is just a commercialized emblem on a T-shirt.
But for Latin Americans just now coming of age, yet another image of
Che is starting to emerge: the romantic and tragic young adventurer
who had as much in common with Jack Kerouac or James Dean as with
Fidel Castro.
The phenomenon began a decade ago with the publication of his
long-suppressed memoir known in English as "The Motorcycle
Diaries," which has become a cult favorite among Latin American
college students and young intellectuals..."

01/09/2004 09:56 PM
Going from one memory to another, I was surprised to find many
references to DaynaFi
le by
Google. Ages ago, I was contacted by a company based in Salt
Lake City: Dayna
Communications. They needed someone to write system software
that enables Macintosh
to read PC disks. What a crazy idea, I thought.
Anyway, I was one of the few guys outside Apple who could write
such stuff so I spent
a year communiting back and forth. Why so long? Well, I
had to convince
Mac that 5 1/4 inch PC disks were Mac disks and integrate
seamlessly with the Finder
as well as other Mac applications. Bridging various
differences between DOS
and MacFS, particularly Mac's resource fork, was real fun too.
After the product shipped, I ran across some Dayna folks at a
MacWorld show demoing
the stuff and they told me that, when one of their customers
found my name displayed
prominently on the boot screen and asked about it, they had to make
up a story about
Don Park being a code name for the project. Oops!;-p

GPLFlash lives again
06/05/2005 11:36 PMThe original GPLFlash project, which was meant to bring to GNU/Linux
the ability to play Macromedia Flash movies, stalled when Macromedia
released a 32-bit binary Flash Player for Linux. Because of that, and
because of a lack of development help, the last significant update to
GPLFlash was in June 2000. But in the past year there has been a surge
in developer interest in the GPLFlash project, and now it's back, with
greater stability and fewer bugs. Unfortunately, it would take a
complete rewrite of GPLFlash to play the vastly different Flash 6 and
Flash 7 file formats. That's why GPLFlash2 is now under development,
with the goal of being a fully Flash 7-compliant replacement for the
restrictively licensed Macromedia Flash Player and browser plugin.
