MP Raj Pannu

Is Raj Pannu thinking of running for the NDP in Edmonton Strathcona in the next federal election?

Civitensis raises the rumour then says it's not true. To bad he would win.

Maybe its time to start a Draft Raj campaign...hey we already have the campaign slogan:

Raj

Against the Machine

Lagrange 5

I came across an interesting space news blog :

Lagrange 5 Waypoint to the past, present, and future of space.

Why because I was googling around my previous article about Hawking and space colonization, as well as this one:Astronauts board space shuttle for practice launch

So I have to wonder why NASA and all the other space agencies fail to build in L5 rather than in suborbital space where their stupid space stations will inevitably decay in orbit and crash back to earth.

Oh what am I saying, of course it's the planned obscelence of capitalism.

Whereas if we used the Lagrange 5 we could have already been on our way to space colonization.

But of course space stations are not for space exploration, they are war stations in space for use by the Military Industrial Complex to continue its business as usual.

As anarchist sci-fi author Mack Reynolds exposed in his novels.

Libertarian Forum

 Mack Reynolds -- Lagrange Five (1979)
 Reynolds was, for 25 years, an activist for the U.S. Socialist Labor Party.
 His radical perspective on political issues is reflected throughout his
 work. This book -- examining a quasi-utopia without sentimentalism -- is
 only one suggestion. Also of huge interest are Tomorrow Might Be Different
 (1960) and The Rival Rigelians (1960), which explicitly examine the relation
 between capitalism and Stalinism.

Mack Reynolds (Dallas McCord Reynolds) (November 11, 1917 - January 30, 1983) 
was an American science fiction writer. 
Many of his stories were published in Galaxy Magazine and Worlds of If Magazine. 
He was an active supporter of the Socialist Labor Party and consequently many 
of his stories have a reformist theme, and almost all of his novels explore 
economic issues to some degree. He was quite popular in the 1960s but most
of his work is out of print today.

Bear With Me

As my faithful readers will know I am concerned aboutthe plight of Bears. A recent story on cannibal polar bears caught my attention.

Along with one about Thompson Manitoba locking up their garbage dump to keep bears out.

However back to the cannibalistic polar bears, well I have to agree with this guy, Conservative Joe. Shock, shudder, say it ain't so, for the most part.

WHEN SCIENCE IS USED FOR POLITICAL ENDS

Wednesday, June 14, 2006 10:47:41 PM

When science is used to achieve a political goal, it is no longer science. It may resemble it, but that is where the relationship ends. In a dramatic story being published across the globe this week, we are told that polar bears are eating each other because of global warming and that this behaviour is unprecedented. Historical evidence and past studies show this to be an outright lie.( Read Article )

He raises serious questions about the cannibal polar bear stories now circulating. Even if he is a right winger who has doubts about global warming.

He is far less an apologist than these guys though; Polar Bears on Thin Ice, Not Really! Brief Analysis

Who also use science for political ends, just conservative right wing ones. Of course they won't be denounced by Conservative Joe.

Slaves To Ipod

What was that the right wing was saying about unions being outdated? As long as we have wage-slavery the wage-slaves will need to organize! Yeah codes of conduct are as useless as the paper they are written on. The only real code of conduct is when workers organize. Apple is the new Nike.

THE 'ROBOT' WORKERS ON 15-HOUR DAYS

Apple has responded to the recent claims of poor working conditions at iPod factories in China, stating that it takes the allegations seriously and that it is looking into the charges. “Apple is committed to ensuring that working conditions in our supply chain are safe, workers are treated with respect and dignity, and manufacturing processes are environmentally responsible,” Apple said in a statement. The company said it is “currently investigating the allegations regarding working conditions in the iPod manufacturing plant in China. We do not tolerate any violations of our supplier code of conduct which are posted online.”

Screw Up A Planet And Move On

Yep thats what a leading scientist says.

Hawking: Life on Earth Dangerous, Humans Should Colonize the Moon

Sure its already a desolate wasteland so we couldn't possibly screw it up anymore than it is...could we?

On the other hand this could be another example of capitalism in space since the Moon is rich in heavy metals.
