Norwegianty
Too much of this blog is news to review it properly ( a cessation of blogging has been announced : a not uncommon event for prolific bloggers ). Past experience tells me this should be a highly rated read. So does this...

"Obama's not an African American he's an African American. You see the difference, right ?

The words are the same, but one means somone descended from ancestors who were brought to the New World in chains. The other means someone who was born in Africa ( or whose parents, grandparents, etc. were) but who is either a naturalized or native born American. Obama's father was African, but he wasn't brought here in chains.

Chains make all the difference. If you know an American racist ( and who doesn't? )at some point you've heard them talking about Africans. Howeve rudely they made the reference, chances are it wasn't as rude as their contempt for African Americans ( the kind associated with chains ). Or maybe you have heard nothing of the sort and are wondering if I'm batshit insane, a blue-eyed idiot flapping his gums about shit he knows nothing about.

Except I've worked with hundreds of African clients, coaching them on geting jobs in America. Ghanians, Cameroonians, all kind of Nigerians, some North Africans, a handful of South Africans, one Ugandan, and lots and lots of Eritrean, Tigrean, Oromo, Sudanese and Somali refugees. They all had one thing in common : they knew that American racists treated them better than native African Americans and they exploited that difference. When racist peckerhead supervisers and co-workers said to them "You're not like ...", my clients would smile, nod their head, and keep working. Whether they were or weren't different was irrelevant , the important thing was to stay on the "You're OK for a nigger" side of the line.

Because American racism isn't so much about color as it's about property and some people don't let go of property well. In this case generation after generation of American racists have taught their children the same lesson in how to be mentally diseased. And a similar number of generations of healthy Americans have taught their children how to exploit that mental illness, keeping working whites, blacks, browns, tans, yellows, etc. at each other's throats.

If racism ever ended in America, economic justice would prevail. But so long as we stay at each other's throats, the parasites at the top will continue to eat our lunch, cherrypicking our ranks for lovers, lieutenants and goons while keeping myraid rules in place for keeping us in our place.

It doesn't what color you are, when you hear someone say the word nigger, they're just cheering for the status quo and 400 more years of economic imbalance and continued rule of the parasite class over the rest of us."

(There's more. Good posts get lost because they aren't current.)

Think to bring all-electric cars to U.S. next year
Ethanol pumped in all states, but not everyone sold on it
( ? I'd say there was a perceptable increase in mileage when I went to mid-grade and high octane - improved performance in rice-grinders and less problem with moisture in winter. For me there was no signicant bottom-line cost difference with 5-10% ethanol after allowing a few pennies/liter higher price . )
The World's Most Innovative Companies
China's love for big cars leads to U.S. - type remedies
( Europeans have faced higher prices at the pump for a long time ; and get higher performance with lower displacement. However, China may have the longer travel distances of the U.S., where lower rpm/larger displacement usually equals less wear. Making cars uses energy too. )

"Of al Qaeda and Bush, Bush is the larger threat to the lives and rights of the people and the Constitution."
BUSH'S CONSPIRACY TO CREATE AN AMERICAN POLICE STATE; PART V : PUBLIC OPINION BECOMES IRRELEVANT
"Media fixation with every aspect of politics but issues is evidence of insidious media cynicism, an entrenched belief that Americans will not read or understand a story unless it has star quality and celebrity in it. Media fixation with every aspect of politics but issues is also evidence of media that is either out of touch or under the control of the corporate establishment. In the end, public opinion will have missed the point and will not matter."

( 'Soft drinks' are acids contained in plastic. Do they leach anything from their container ? You do remember Coke has applications as a cleaning agent. )
Gene-Environment interaction in Yeast Gene Expression
( Aren't you glad not to be tied up with understanding ailments associated with the gut ? A diet high in sugar grows lots of yeast : an imbalance which can be hard to diagnose for an ordinary person caught up with bad dietary practice; i.e. almost everyone on a 'Western' diet. Plus - not all microbial stews which digest food are the same. It isn't just the human genome - or diet - which is variable.)
Host PRP glycosylation : a major factor determining the outcome of prion infection a.k.a. Jacobs-Cruzfeld in humans, 'Mad Cow' in bovines. As an aside, I'm recalling a British farmer's hypothesis that there was a relationship involving magnesium levels in soil [ from fertilizer ] and agricultural chemicals - as the condition isn't properly understood as an infection.
