Chet:
They forgot Marko Rodin in that movie preview! lol
Such a polarized world these days, eh? That dude must have the answer!
I spent 5 minutes looking at the patent. It looks to me like somebody is trying to convince others that 4.33 Hz (?) is good for you. That way you will be tempted to buy the 4.33 Hz bath water resonator, not to mention the 4.33 Hz bistable multivibrator relaxation unit. I bet you never knew how much fun you could have with a 555 timer.
Sorry, Chet, but I don't take these things seriously and I simply filter them out.
I see the Wall street occupiers as a variation on the people that storm the G20 meetings. The real irony that seems to escape the G20 rioters is that the meetings are made up mostly of elected representatives. They can vote because 20-year-olds almost three generations ago died protecting those rights.
As long as things don't get too far out of hand let them protest. But if they go psycho then they should be stopped with commensurate force.
Any one that is 100% in favour or against something is arguably wearing blinders. Take the example of Wall street. Wall street allows a little guy in a small struggling company to raise money in a stock offering and then take that money and form a larger, stronger, more successful company that produces products that people really need, spurs on new innovation, and creates jobs for hundreds or thousands or tens of thousands of people. Chances are that when you look at this web site and the long story that got us from a few universities sharing data in 1991, to here in 2011, to me posting right now and you reading my posting... well chances are that the vast majority of the technology and development of the intellectual property that's making all of this possible was financed by the original stock offerings done by the people on Wall street. It's like complaining about the evil oil companies while you take your hot shower in the morning.
I think of a protest by union representatives and members (can't remember which one) outside the Ontario legislature a few years ago. They took it too far and smashed at the legislature doors and scratched and defaced them. That never happened in the past. They did about $70,000 worth of damage to the 19th century ornate carved doors of the Ontario legislature, the common property of all Ontarians, and by extension all Canadians. That crap has to stop and we have to have a civil society.
The government in BC is going to petition the court to televise the proceedings for all of the Vancouver rioters and I hope they get it. You will see those mindless idiots not act so tough in front of the cameras.
Call it a rant.
