Will the ignorance of politicians ever stop? Nope. Will my laughing at said ignorance ever stop? Nope.

Your experience with surgery
Posted: Sep 25 2012, 07:13 AM Forum Act I: Chit-Chat Hangout View full topic
Surgery? I've had my fair share of them. From birthmark infections at birth, exploratory to take a look at my liver, hernia repair, heart repair. All before I was five, so some exact details are missing but I can just about bet I was one terrified little guy. There might have been surgery involved from accidentally ingesting a bunch of my mom's blood pressure pills too. Stomach pumping I know for certain. Goddamn, looking back at all of this, I'm a medical car wreck.

-shuts his helmet down over his neck and inhales filtered air- At least it's not the Andromeda Strain. Otherwise the nuclear safeguard would've triggered by now.

I'm the devil's son straight out of hell And you're an angel with a haunted heart If you're smart you'd run and protect yourself From the demon living in the dark There's nothing to be gained cause I can never change And you can never understand my sickness (I'll never understand my sickness) Save yourself From a life full of lies and a heart full of pain and sorrow Save yourself From the choices I make cause nothing but failure follows me Save yourself You're the perfect drug when it hurts like hell I've never needed anyone so much There's no-one else I love and I curse myself Cause the right thing is to give you up I'm overcome by shame cause I can never change And you can never understand my sickness (I'll never understand my sickness) Save yourself From a life full of lies and a heart full of pain and sorrow Save yourself From the choices I make cause nothing but failure follows me Save yourself From a life full of lies and a heart full of pain and sorrow Save yourself From the choices I make cause nothing but failure follows me Save yourself You'll never understand my sickness (I'll never understand my sickness) Cause i don't understand my sickness (I'll never understand my sickness) Save yourself From a life full of lies and a heart full of pain and sorrow Save yourself From the choices I make cause nothing but failure follows me Save yourself From a life full of lies and a heart full of pain and sorrow Save yourself From the choices I make cause nothing but failure follows me Save yourself

I'm the devil's son straight out of hell
And you're an angel with a haunted heart
If you're smart you'd run and protect yourself
From the demon living in the dark
There's nothing to be gained cause I can never change
And you can never understand my sickness
(I'll never understand my sickness)

Save yourself
From a life full of lies and a heart full of pain and sorrow
Save yourself
From the choices I make cause nothing but failure follows me
Save yourself

You're the perfect drug when it hurts like hell
I've never needed anyone so much
There's no-one else I love and I curse myself
Cause the right thing is to give you up

I'm overcome by shame cause I can never change
And you can never understand my sickness
(I'll never understand my sickness)

Save yourself
From a life full of lies and a heart full of pain and sorrow
Save yourself
From the choices I make cause nothing but failure follows me
Save yourself
From a life full of lies and a heart full of pain and sorrow
Save yourself
From the choices I make cause nothing but failure follows me
Save yourself

You'll never understand my sickness
(I'll never understand my sickness)
Cause i don't understand my sickness
(I'll never understand my sickness)

Save yourself
From a life full of lies and a heart full of pain and sorrow
Save yourself
From the choices I make cause nothing but failure follows me
Save yourself
From a life full of lies and a heart full of pain and sorrow
Save yourself
From the choices I make cause nothing but failure follows me

Save yourself

In the 1950s, President Dwight D. Eisenhower commissioned the Interstate Highway System after considering the designs of the German Autobahn post-World War II while acting as Supreme Commander of Allied Forces in Europe. These highways are the same that we drive on today and in some instance it can be told from looking at them that they are extremely durable and are a great way to get from one point to another. They're also always needing constant maintenance and hard resources such as asphalt. Other than that, the current Interstate system does what it's meant to do, get people from Point A to Point B across the U.S. But what if it could do more? Such as providing a way to shift to dependency on solar energy for power generation? Such as providing a way to make our roadways safer, smarter and frankly awesome looking? But most importantly of all, what if it could propel a drive to put the unemployed to work? Think about it, heat radiation from the Sun makes asphalt hot as all Hell. If you implement this solar road technology and replace all asphalt with it, that heat radiation is no longer wasted when absorbed. Over that mileage, that is a lot of energy being pushed by daytime exposure. And at night? Simple as shifting to the stored solar energy held in batteries or special centers for the night-time period. You also have to consider though that parts of the system will shift to solar generation earlier than the others. Sun rises in the east, sets in the west. Depending on how much radiation comes through in early morning, we may still be able to power a significant amount of the grid until the rest of the country boots up. And as the video demonstrates, there are some really radical uses for the new system. The signs used in construction zones have LEDs and are solar powered. Put LEDs in the panels and you don't need to paint roads anymore. You just have someone program that stretch and have them line up the dots to create the guide-lines that are needed. Need to expand from a two lane to a four way? Fine, you'll of course need to lay the panel down, but again, when it's ready to come online, it just needs to be reprogrammed. You could theoretically have the program done already during the time it takes to lay the panel. Which brings me to the next point. Jobs. Engineers are needed to design the components. Technicians are needed to fabricate them. Construction workers are needed to remove the existing asphalt, prepare the infrastructure and then install the panels. Then you have people on hand for maintenance and expansion. At the federal level, this could be a powerhouse as it is, controlled by the Department of Transportation. Then if the states and the municipalities get into it, then that means the same structure comes into play with the states' Department of Transportation equivalents and the county/civil engineers. That's going to be a lot of jobs available and there are definitely people out there to fill that demand. The only thing that really shoots this in the foot is of course it puts a dent in our way of looking at conventional energy systems. This could pretty much cut out oil, natural gas, coal and nuclear power. Depending on how things are set up, the power being generated could technically be considered a government-provided utility, much like water. Either conventional power companies shift to adapt to the new mode, they serve as a backup role or they go down into obscurity. That means jobs lost potentially, I understand. But at the same time, conventional energy is killing this planet, and as Enron, among other controversies have proved, there's waste, corruption and unethical lobbies. Either way, this is a big thing that we're looking at here. This transcends politics, religion and all of that baggage. This is our energy and jobs solution being served on a plate to us. Question is, are we just going to skitter it across the plate until it crumbles and falls off? Or are we going to gnaw on it with gusto and call it our new favorite food?
