K Street Embassy

Citizens for Government Waste Starts Campaign to Influnence Washington, DC; Considers Building Embassy with Lobbiest Ambassadores on K Street Lex Loeb Contributor Network . The Mark of a highly advanced civilization is a government's ability to consume the highest percentage of a nation's economic resources in the shortest period of time possible. Have you ever noticed how archeologists are most excitied when they excavate royal diggs? Who cares about excavating the tombs of common people when you can instead dig up an elaborate costly royal tomb filled with treasures from a life of royalty taxing loyal subjects? Governments are supposed to collect taxes for the political upper classes to dispose of it with wreckless abandon. Americans rejoice in traveling around the world to visit royal monuments like Versaile to savor the senseless spending of bygone eras. What tourist is not impressed by royal monuments that cost more than we can imagine. Who is to say anything a government has done has not been wasteful spending? Even if government does something necessary for a maximum number of people it usually costs at least three or four times what it might if government were not involved at all. It is time to get real and accept the fact that even a government of the people for the people has no greater purpose other than to waste as much money as fast as it can. Citizens For Government Waste (CFGW) is an organization dedicated to wasteful goverment spending. Founded in 2009 the organization saw the national stimulus spending bill as a sign of much greater spending to come. Its founders were worried that government restraints on spending might be the reaction to the stimulus plan so they formed the group which is now gaining members at a rapid rate. .

Best Kept Secret Park in Lake Oswego

Best Kept Secret Park in Lake Oswego Great for Bike Riders, Walking and Running with Scenic River Views Lex Loeb Contributor Network . Lake Oswego does not like to advertise some of its best attractions for fear of attracting non-locals. The area has many interesting treasures almost no one from the Portland area bothers to explore. Lake Oswego has long had the cache' of an upper middle class white Anglo Saxon enclave that does not want the company of everyone from the Portland Metro Area coming in. One can't blame the present day city for trying to protect itself against crowds of non local strangers using their public facilities. Anyone who has been to lake Oswego actual lake knows it is a privately owned body of water that does not welcome the public access in anyway. That is not true of the Oswego Furnace Tower in George Rogers Park or Old River Drive that connects to the park's main pathway up along the Willamette river front. Along most of Old River drive the fro

Vines are the Most Intelligent of Plants.

 Ever seen Boston Ivy covering the walls at Ivy League colleges?   That could make them the most intelligent of plants. Vines train themselves to cover territories and structures. They don't just grow toward the sun they find their way to spread their leaves with trial and error until they cover wide areas that satisfy their demands for light and exposure.  Some have tendrils that find a way to spiral around things to rise off the ground and follow the pathways they can take advantage of.  If i was designing an artificial intelligence app or algorithm I would think about vines and how they deal with their environmental factors.    Most plants do also have this ability to grow with a kind of logic, especially the roots which will grow to seek water and nutrients.  Some tropical plants have ariel roots that can seem intelligent too in finding sources of water and nutrients and taking advantage at a considerable distance. If one root becomes disconnected these plants can send out a ne
