According to an article on Y! Tech, Japan is working on a gun that can silence people speaking out of turn and keep them from talking. According to the article the gun absorbs the sound coming from the speaker and plays it back at a rate, that confuses the brains response to the normal brain-to-auditory process. It all sounds like trying to watch a movie where the voice and picture are out of synch to this tech-challenged blogger. I am sure that on normal everyday people this will be very effective in making them look like dullards. I doubt its effectiveness on politicians, professional public speakers and spin doctors – whom close their minds and ears off to the world around them, basking in the glory of their fifteen minutes of pomp and fame upon a public pedestal, while they speak million dollar multi-syllabic words, in lengthy run-on sentences, about subjects they are unknowledgeable about and/or see as merely a headline that will make them sound important to the world. Meanwhile I am sure that Dean Wormer led Super-Secret Star Chambers, like currently operating in Erie, and bumptious power-hungry Mayors such as some indicate rules with his Iron Fist in Davenport, Iowa that seem to prefer faux public meeting surrounded by backslapping disciples sans any uncomfortable opposing views – are cheering the invention and giddy with expectation of the opportunity to point and click a gun to shut up challengers to their status quo. It’s nothing less than a power mad politicians dream weapon.Of course this is just the amateurish opinion of a self-proclaimed scoundrel on the outside looking in. That and a Washington dollar, a Jefferson nickel and two Lincoln pennies might buy you something off the Mickey Dee dollar menu. Strange, it costs more for a 99 cent hamburger than a dollar dance at the local strip club. Of course if Illinois politicians have their way, they will tax those also.

A Politicians Dream Gun
A Sign of the Times to Come?
Caution the following post deals with adult subject of a sexual nature.
An article on Time’s News Feed makes you wonder if the US is behind the times when it comes to protecting the USAmerican human gene pool from accidental incestuous breeding? According to the article tiny Iceland has created an ancestry and genetic website that its citizenry is also using to weed out possible incestuous relationships. The old jokes about hillbilly marriage with their cousins immediately springs to mind. But in the more modern times of US sexual practices the chance for accidental incest is a very real danger. Perhaps one of the biggest dangers comes from the often used modern practice of artificial insemination for biological clock-ticking single professionals, straight and lesbian couples. It is estimated that as many as 60,000 children are born in the US yearly by sperm donors. And though the mothers are asked to report such births to the sperm banks – it evidently only happens 20% to 40% of the time. In one instance noted in an article, one man had fathered 150 children through artificial insemination. A study I read also suggested that of women with two or more children there was a 28% chance the children had multiple fathers. There is also the issue of mothers who refuse to register the name of their baby’s father for personal reasons. That does not take into account children fathered by sexual partners other than the husband, where the husband is automatically registered as the father on birth certificates. There are also cases where members of the male population think it is their duty in life to randomly repopulate the world with Mini-Mes, with as many different women as possible. There is even a growing sexual fetish that includes couples taking part in random partner breeding. While this all may seem incongruous , it certainly increases the likelihood of inadvertent and accidental incestuous relationships. I know this used to be a small concern for adults that were adopted as children, but with the increasing usage of modern reproductive technology and the loosening of sexual mores – how do we balance the rights of personal privacy versus the risks of accidental inbreeding by offspring? Just roll the dice and gamble? It is the way it has been to date. Is the Icelandic model a sign of the times to come? I hope not. Perhaps what worries me even more, is that I can envision Nanny Statists in the Republican and Democrat Parties eventually using this issue as a reason to force a national DNA registry to track genetics of all USAmericans. A perfect foothold for Nanny Statists involved in the philosophy of eugenics.

Dear Santa
Noahs Ark Found?
A group of Chinese and Turkish explorers claim to have found the remains of Noah’s Ark on Mt. Ararat in Eastern Turkey. They also claim to have carbon dated the materials to the time period associated with the biblical event. I suppose if they can prove it is a boat and not some other structure, it must be Noah’s ark. After all who else might have parked a boat 13,000 feet high on a mountain!
Tobacco – Next in the Bio Fuel Saga
Media sources are reporting that tobacco could become the next source in the search for a viable bio-fuel energy resource. Evidently it seems to hold a lot of promise. It sounds as if it could turn the tobacco plant back into a favorable crop and help fix the negative public image created by the tobacco products industry. It was also reported that the final product created for fuel does not generate the same dangers of smoking tobacco products. Still, for some reason–> I cannot get this picture out of my head of heavy smokers chasing down moving vehicles trying to inhale the exhaust.
theScoundrel Takes the Rorschach Test
It seems that many in the Gold-Laden Pompous Psychology Industry have become upset as an insider released the ten basic Rorschach images and the top patient replies on Wikipedia. I suppose I could use the building controversy to go on a rant about the smoke-and-mirror shrink industry that I consider mostly a pseudo science, that wants to become the next God, but I won’t. Instead I have decided to take the test myself and analyze the results. The following are my Rorschach Answers to the images presented at the Wikipedia link–>
- Fenrir or my last hip x-ray
- The makeup left on my white towel by my last date
- A stripper that outgrew her costume (might have been my last date) or a powder puff girl sketch
- Transformers – robots in disguise
- A moth or maybe Commissioner Gordon needs to clean the bat signal
- A space ship prop from some B-movie of the fifties or sixties
- An inside look of Al Gore’s skull when M.D.’s performed his lobotomy at the request of the Bill Clinton Administration
- Bozo the Clowns head from the backside
- Monty Burns of The Simpsons performing asexual reproduction
- The Red Skull doing a Jesse “The Body” Ventura imitation
After analyzing my results I have determined that theScoundrel is most likely an average and inconspicuous Zelig-like individual with both bizarre imagination and humor. The patient has a fondness for movies, old cartoons, comic books, science fiction novels, the Chicago Cubs, the Chicago Bears, consuming mass quantities of peanuts, munching down Moon Pies and Nutty Bars, guzzling Mountain Dew and chasing younger women. The individual is somewhat of an insomniac, which probably heightens his already antagonistic issues with authority figures, egotistical hallowed institutions, medical and mental health experts – plus he exhibits an extremely low tolerance for politicians, their disciples and their rhetoric. Which probably explains his complete distrust of their actions and motives. Wow – to think I got all that just analyzing my Rorschach answers! Whew, I guess I’m all-better now!
Earth Hour Approaches – Be Afraid
Be very Afraid!
Well tonight there will be many people turn off their lights for an hour celebrating Earth Hour. Earth Hour is global alarmists way of attempting to push the Kyoto treaty and Al Goracle’s fear mongering Global Warming theology. Many people will be doing it for any different reasons. There will be many that actually buy into the Global Warming hype just as many of us bit into the Global cooling hype many years back. Been there done that- no thanks for a repeat showing. There will be many people that will be joining because like Al Goracle, they will have figured a way to make a buck off the promotion. No thanks I will donate my money when and where I choose. There will be many who join looking for a false badge of honor to wear on their chest. Sorry I am not into pretentious and grandiose ego trips. Many women will be joining in because they feel better about themselves when they have a big group hug. Good for them I actually think group hugs are a good thing for most people – just not my style. There will be a huge amount of guys that will join with them in the group hug – not because they are particularly into the Global Warming Cult – but because they are guys and hope by joining all the ladies in a big hug they might get lucky and get laid. I will pass on that reasoning also- I am mature enough to know there are better and more successful gender connections options available. No I say all this -not because I do not think we could be all be better shepherds of the planet. In fact I think we are terrible shepherds of the planet. I think there are lots of things we could do to make this planet better to live on. But this idea is just another fad where a handful of people want to look important, as they pretend to themselves and others how proactive they are at fixing the problems of the world. They will claim that dissenters from their global warming religion have buried their heads in the sand. Maybe – maybe not. Global warming is a theory that has many experts both pro and con about the theories. Plus turning off your lights to save energy is a lot like forced carpooling if you believe in the peak oil theory. It solves nothing! It merely strings out the inevitable. If you want to stave off starvation -fix the problem– don’t starve the mind and the body. Instead find alternative food sources. As to the infamous Kyoto treaty – I am sure it would make a good substitute for the now defunct Monkey Wards catalog in the outhouse. I have said this before and I will say it again – I live in the USA and not the NWO of the UN– I do not offer the United Nations any say in how I live my life. If that offends anyone -so be it! So as Earth Hour approaches, in honor of all those Goracle disciples, in all those different time zones that will be turning off their lights for an hour tonight – I plan on running my lights, televisions and radios for the next 24 hours straight. My house will be the bright spot visible from the sky tonight!
