The above is a link to a video of a speech that Michael Crighton gave at the Smithsonian about Complexity theory. His information, thoroughly researched, is very enlightening. I realize the speech is lengthy, but please, please make the effort of watching. Your thoughts will be stimulated and your perspectives on a lot of issues might change due to the information presented.

Some things discussed are the fact that humanities carbon usage has fallen dramatically and well before the 'global warming scare" of late. Also discussed is the fact that not 50 years ago we were headed into an ice age.
Perhaps most enlightening of all is the Population Bomb disclosures.
I highly encourage each and everyone of you out there that has a thinking brain to go and listen to the man.
1. 40% of all workers in L.A. County ( L.A. County has 10.2 million people) are working for
cash and not paying taxes. This is because they are predominantly illegal immigrants
working without a green card.
2. 95% of warrants for murder in Los Angeles are for illegal aliens.
3. 75% of people on the most wanted list in Los Angeles are illegal aliens
4. Over 2/3 of all births in Los Angeles County are to illegal alien Mexicans on
Medi-Cal , whose births were paid for by taxpayers.
5. Nearly 35% of all inmates in California detention centers are Mexican

29% of inmates in federal prisons are illegal aliens.
Here is a little something someone sent me that is indisputable mathematical logic. It also made me Laugh Out Loud.
This is a strictly mathematical viewpoint...it goes like this:
What Makes 100%? What does it mean to give MORE than 100%? Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%? We have all been to those meetings where someone wants you to give over 100%. How about achieving 103%? What makes up 100% in life?
Heres a little mathematical formula that might help you answer these questions:
If:
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
is represented as:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.
Then:
H-A-R-D-W-O-R-K
8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%
and
K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E
11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96%
But ,
A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E
1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%
And,
B-U-L-L-S-H-I-T
2+21+12+12+19+8+9+20 = 103%
AND, look how far ass kissing will take you.
A-S-S-K-I-S-S-I-N-G
1+19+19+11+9+19+19+9+14+7 = 118%
So, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that While Hard work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will get you there, its the Bullshit and Ass kissing that will put you over the top.

ILLEGAL TO SHOOT THEM !"
Newt Gingrich has compiled some amazing statistics from Joe Americans about America utilizing a broad spectrum of Republicans, Democrats and Independents. Now I cannot vouch for the scientific method in acquiring the statistics because obviously Newt is a Conservative.
In full disclosure of honesty, Slanted Left data collection is also skewed to justify their agenda; therefore the method on both sides of the aisle is more than likely skewed for self-justification. The reader of statistics has to decide the integrity of the data organization to filter an opinion from percentages and numbers published as statistical results.
I am a Conservative and I would never trust statistics derived from Kos or a statistical organization hired by Kos, that group is simply too inflammatory against the Right to read anything into their conclusions or methods to acquire conclusions. On the other hand I might weigh some thoughts of statistics derived from the NY Times or the Washington Post, two obvious Slanted Left media publications. You might ask, “Why?” The reason is every scandal a journalistic media of repute (whether it is Left or Right) has to understand that being caught in conspicuous manipulation adds disrepute to the validity of their reporting. The National Enquirer understands this principle, only gossip fanatics and the addicted to the strange take the National Enquirer seriously.
If the NYT or WaPo were caught in Statistical fraud it could eventually cut into their bottom line – sales and revenue. Now that is ironic for Slanted Left organizations is it not?
So obviously Newts statistics may be skewed; however the skewing is more than likely in the question and the conclusion. That works for me.
The essence of Newts recent “Winning The Future” e-newsletter is that media and blogs present a picture of the Left and the Right being vicious enemies on way opposite sides of the political spectrum. Newt’s statistics amazingly disputes the polarizing divide between Americans.
Read the November 7th issue of Winning The Future to see how alike in concerns that Americans are.
