Is this Abandonment, Nihilism or Hedonism?
Abandonment, in law, is the relinquishment or renunciation of an
interest, claim, privilege, possession or right, especially with the
intent of never again resuming or reasserting it. Such intentional
action may take the form of a discontinuance or a waiver.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abandonment
Nihilism is the belief that all values are baseless and that nothing
can be known or communicated. It is often associated with extreme
pessimism and a radical skepticism that condemns existence. A true
nihilist would believe in nothing, have no loyalties, and no purpose
other than, perhaps, an impulse to destroy. While few philosophers
would claim to be nihilists, nihilism is most often associated with
Friedrich Nietzsche who argued that its corrosive effects would
eventually destroy all moral, religious, and metaphysical convictions
and precipitate the greatest crisis in human history. In the 20th
century, nihilistic themes--epistemological failure, value
destruction, and cosmic purposelessness--have preoccupied artists,
social critics, and philosophers. Mid-century, for example, the
existentialists helped popularize tenets of nihilism in their attempts
to blunt its destructive potential. By the end of the century,
existential despair as a response to nihilism gave way to an attitude
of indifference, often associated with antifoundationalism.

Hedonism is the name given to the group of ethical systems that hold,
with various modifications, that feelings of pleasure or happiness are
the highest and final aim of conduct; that, consequently those actions
which increase the sum of pleasure are thereby constituted right, and,
conversely, what increases pain is wrong.
The father of Hedonism was Aristippus of Cyrene. He taught that
pleasure is the universal and ultimate object of endeavour. By
pleasure he meant not merely sensual gratification but also the higher
forms of enjoyment, mental pleasures, domestic love, friendship, and
moral contentment. His followers, however, reduced the system to a
plea for self-indulgence ... the School of Epicurus, who emphasized
the superiority of social and intellectual pleasures over those of the
senses.

Bleah. We need a news group that focuses on enjoying the
end-of-the-world apocalypticism of fundamentalist Gaiaist
Greenshirts. The end is nigh, repent of thy consumptions.

It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it,

Or do we just have another sophism here? Belief is so human and
convincing the reader of some 'truth' is so mundane.
But, post away........

Mankind's last days on Earth are caused by his own stupidity and lack of
foresight.
So enjoy your stupidity!
And let us hope the blight called man is wiped off the face of Earth as soon

No, nutters believe there will be an impeachment, war crimes

So you admit that you are nostalgic for the high-tax
high-interest-rate, high-unemployment, high-inflation
super Jimmy Carter/Jim Jones seventies?
Next, you'll be singing the Village People.

I didn't hear the big "negatory."
Bret Cahill
Shrik...@gmail.com
So "no" isn't good enough anymore, now that we're
heading forward into the past? Late seventies high-tax
Jimmy Carter economic stagflation boom, here we
come!
A big negatory to KKKahill's suggestion that somebody
assassinate some Democrat or another, as though
that would prevent the one term Carteresque Presidency
from crashing and burning. I'm not surprised that the
Stalinist Leftard wing wants to stage a purge though.

Not from nutters.
We know two things:
1. Rightards have no political options other than assassinations,
and,
2. The Supreme Court ruled that shooting DC blacks was
constitutional.
In 7 months Obama will become a DC black.
Now say "negatory" like you _mean_ it.

Well, let's grant the Many Worlds Interpretation of quantum
physics for a paragraph. Let's say that in one of the many
worlds, there's a history that matches your own loonie version.
Then, we'd have to assume that Obama won't pick Hitlery as
his running mate. Nothing like leaving temptation in her hands.
Anyway, since there hasn't been a single Squeaky Fromme
leftard (out of the millions) who has managed to get a shot in on
W, I'm guessing that our security services earn their keep these
days.

If you keep hearing voices saying "out of my live warm hands,"
you're bound to wind up sniping from a tower.
Day Brown
mailbox, and water meter in the Ozark woods. I have a large garden with
a lotta interesting gynecological herbs that young women have found
interesting enuf to get me laid.
I have solar panels out in the shed in case the grid goes down, which
it may not because my power comes from the Petit Jean Hydro. I didnt
raise sorghum this year, but I know how, and how to ferment the juice,
and still have the still. IT wont be moonshine, but rum. Which cannot
have any of the isopropyl the former has that causes brain damage.
There are lotsa rebel flag well armed rednecks out here, but they'd
keep out the flatland rabble. And none of them would want to burn down
a distillery.
I have enuf seed for several acres of Sorghum, and the U of GA website
that says I can get 100-120 gallons of ethanol per acre with just 3.5
gallons of engine fuel. Sorghum is gonzo easier to deal with than corn.
Crunch the numbers. The average farm country county is 25 X 25 miles,
or 400,000 acres. Which could produce 40,000,000 gallons of ethanol
from sorghum. Which could be converted into butanol which has the very
same BTU rating as gasoline and can be put in the "gas" tank with no
significant diff in performance.
So, less see: 150 counties would produce 20 gallons of fuel for every
car in the country. Each state could have its own supply. 200 gallons
for every car every year would keep the economy going as is. That'd
require a piece of land 950 X 950 miles- however. With sorghum, you
still have the mash which you can feed livestock with to raise beef.
and you still have the seed to raise poultry with for chicken in
every pot. And you still have the manure from these animals to put
back on the land.
Unlike the oil crops for biodiesel, the ethanol is made up entirely
of hydrogen, oxygen, and carbon, all of which come out of the rain
and air. Not out of the dirt. You can grow sorghum forever replacing
only the nutrients lost from the farm in the meat, milk, and eggs.
Why you spoze they aint already doing this?

Cahill, before we get to your cyber therapy that you so
sorely do need, be cognizant that "Gallows Humor" has
very instructive anagrams for you, like for instance:
"Gallows Humor" is where "Law Logs Humor" while
"Lo Worms Laugh" and "Largo Owls Hum" in their
"Warm Lush Logo" where nothing but "Glamour Howls"
and the... "Uh,... Morals Glow" .... ahahaha... Soooo....

Cahill, you being a fretting old geezer, an aoler and a little
green idiot to boot it is understandable that you and
your like suited and like minded geezers are in a state
of denial and anything but cheerful about it.... ahaha...

Cahill, don't be such a megalomaniac and assume
to speak for all Mankind. And Cahill, you are a misogynist
on top of that, disregarding the other half of humankind.
Instead focus on yourself only and perhaps on the many
geriatrics who, like you, hang out here in cyberspace
& cry doom while looking at their own last days on earth...

Cahill try to realize that the world with all its cheerful youngsters
will roll on the same whether ever have existed or not.

Cahill see, here is help you you: The source of... AND the
solution for all your anxieties can be found in the Green Bible
that says:
Green Genesis:
1 "It doesn't matter what is true ... it only matters what people

2 "A lot of environmental [sci/soc/pol] messages are simply not

Modern, attributal definitions of enviro classifications:
========= enviro Class (1) --- the Green shit(s):
...are the ones who advocate, promote, support, legalize,
institute and extort the permit charges, the user fees, the
enviro surtaxes and the CO2/Carbon tax, all reflected in
HIGHER PRICES of goods and services!, ...and being
responsible for much of the OUT-SOURCING!
========= enviro Class (2) -- the Green turd(s):
... are the ones who are recipients and beneficiaries from
the lootings of (1), directly or indirectly.
========= enviro Class (3) -- the Little green idiot(s):
.. are the unpaid, well-meaning ones, in "environmental
groups" who think they do something for the "environment",
when in fact they are only the enablers and facilitators for
(2) who are harvesting the green $$$ that (1) has extorted.
>
The most intriguing fact though is that during the past 40 years
**EVERYBODY** has adopted the Green Bible & learned,
by now how to uses these machination principles for their
own agenda by now.... ahahaha....ALL of'em use and do it...
from the far Left to the far Right, from Lenders to Creditors,
from Union bosses to Wallstreet CEO, from Jews to Muslims,
from secular Heads of State to the Pope, & most ominously
of all ... from Elementary School pupils to their Teachers...
WORLDWIDE!...
Strange enough though, the original hard core class 3 enviros
the first tier disciples of environmentalism are in full denial on this.
