Give up on war

Seriously another $37 billion for war?

What are we fighting for anymore? The war already stole all our money. It took all the tax money pillaged from the middle class and placed in in the hands of the huge companies that profit on these stupid wars. It almost seems like they are trying to start another one in Korea. Didn't we learn the first time.

I am starting to feel that every dollar we waste on these stupid wars is like another dollar the terrorists stole from us. And by terrorists I don't just mean the kind that fly into building on airplanes. I also mean the big military industrial complex company scum bags and their friends that rape us.

metalpeter writes at 08:20:35 07/28/10 - Comment #57530: The Industrail War Complex is very Real. Not to get into loney Ness but Kenedy was really going to get us out of Nam and so they had him killed. The thing that is great is how they create enemies. Take Iraq. We Put Saddam into power, he was our buddy , he ruled with an iron fist, and was brutal but there wasn't all this one sum sect killing some other sub sect of the same belief system. Well then he decided to go inot Kuwat (where we get our oil and our buddies), Then he became the Bad Guy (Clinton). Somehow When 911 happened this same country was behind it. But that is like saying the terrorists who live in England and blew up a train are supported by england so we should go to war with them. I voted for Barrack cause he was supposed to get us out of this mess. Yes WWII at the time was good for us Economicly but it isn't the 50"s and the world has greatly changed. Oh and one other note one reason we (USA) are hated all over the world is because we often stick our noses in where we aren't wanted. Sometimes this means we support a evil dictator and some times it means we cause an uprising of people who where fine the way they where Argh.......

tinypliny writes at 10:38:05 07/27/10 - Comment #57513: I don't get this. What on earth is to be gained by warring against hostile desert psychos in Afghanistan? Really? 37 BILLION?! When so many better things can be done with that kind of money, the only thing they could think of is pouring it into the ridiculously expensive drain of war equipment?

Every government is the same - greedy scum shamelessly feeding other secret scum that make money off of wars and misery of other people. The Indian govt pours billions and billions of rupees into stockpiling against the 50 odd war mongering idiots in Pakistan ruling over people who are all technically Indian - fighting over the borders of a stupid state that was ALL part of India - given away by a man who was so lost in the theoretical principles of "non-violence" that he didn't have the foresight to see the havoc that would be wrecked by his inability to say a simple no and take a firm stance on the issue that lead to the partition.

Yes. They are all the same. Maybe they all come from the same scummy politician planet and their primary religion there is unbridled greed.

Buffalo Garden Walk 2010

We went with (e:Holly) and my mom to the garden walk. It was a great day as we started early and missed the rain.

This year we did the west side behind Kleinhans and near (e:metalpeter)'s. The community gardens were really inspirational. As was the massive amount of fruit and vegtable gardens.

One older woman had a giant fig tree. I think my mom was really jealous as it is her favorite fruit. We asked her about it and she said she overwintered by covering it in rugs.

road construction gas waste

The corner of North and Franklin is under construction. They are removing thr crazy sweeping death trap turns and replacing them with right angles.

I am generally happy with the whole process but they have 2 gas powered arrows on 24/7 for like a week now. I wonder if it will go on the whole summer. It seems expensive, wasteful, and environmentally damaging when reflective tape could do. They even have it on during the daylight hours.

At Gallery 464

over at 464 Amherst street. The gallery is owner by (e:marcus) who had a journal for a post.

And here, the reason we went, (e:heidi) and her masterpeices.

Here I am with the 3D glasses on. They had paintings that popped out with 3D glasses on.

They had some djs and video screens outside which was pretty fun as well.

Removing facebook from your nexus 1

Since I got my n1 I have wanted to remove the facebook, twitter and amazon mp3 app but as they are stock apps it would not let me. Its so annoying that they were running in the background and possibly using battery but it was even more annoying that when I selected a pic in the gallery app it would always have facebook and twitter in the share menu when I really wanted to just have estrip there. After rooting my phone which is really quite simple on a nexus 1 (you can find instructions by searching on google) you need to do this.

Make sure your phone is recognized with adb by typing adb devices

Then run the following code. It basically mounts the system drive and then you move the apps to a backup file where they are there if you later change your mind, but they will no longer run.

To be fair I totally stole these commands from here

and then added Twitter and amazon mp3 store to it

su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cd /system/app
mv Facebook.apk Facebook.bak
mv com.amazon.mp3.apk com.amazon.mp3.bak
mv Twitter.apk Twitter.bak
mount -o ro,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
sync

cyanogen mod 6

The most interesting part of this is that I am typing this journal from safari 5 windows edition using wine of Fedora 13 Linux.

Seems to make my phone much snappier, its hard to believe it could be any faster. I really just installed it and rooted it so I could get rid of facebook which you can't uninstall by default.

The battery on my n1 seems to last forever with the stock froyo. Lets hope it is the same here. They also included this new feature to make the screen monochrome red

which is supposed to by a way to double battery life. I am very curious if that works or not.
