  1. Black ADOS Colored Negro FBA Moor AfroAmerican.......African. In America Society for all intents and purposes he is Black Yes.....but I will not belittle this accomplishment instead I would rather use it to inspire Moral Worth is Dignity and Self Respect....Self Esteem is Confidence and in One's abilities. Yes that is truth....not as much as it was before When adult or teenage Blacks use the word "Bad"...it is bad as in good - a sort of revolutionary act. A Whole lot different from when toddlers to preteens us it...as in character flaw
  2. Systemic Racism has Structure. These Structures are maintained because they make money. This stream of money is protected by those who profit from Racism
  3. We Have done so before.... From The Abolitionist Movement and The Civil Rights to the NOI and the Black Panther Party Yes we have Issues ......but none that is insurmountable. We made great strides... with much less What we need is a Message and a Messenger equal to the task. After having a Black President.....We have a low Self Esteem? Examples of success is One of the greatest encouragement of Self Confidence and Competence You are looking in the wrong direction to start a movement ....if that is you be wanting to do? Yes...it happens ...we all human in need of direction. Coalition is an Alliance of Two..... to Act as One in the furtherance of an agreed on Plan or Common Goal. The Leadership of the respective Groups or of the Coalition is never in question...Only Strategy Tactics Method and Actions to be taken Are.
  4. Engineering is logics design physics and maths primarily. Vision Zero is an attempt to use Civil Engineering to negate human error.....it is not a social fix, Okay. Yes I have heard the same. Are they Deviations or Variations? If it is a mutation as a result of adaptation to a specific environment then I do not think it is a Deviation. Variations is common in Species...it is a survival mechanism
  5. That's like saying the rule of Maths operates differently in Sweden and the US That maybe true....but it is also true that we share more in common than we differ, so if it worked in Sweden it may work here - it's worth a try Where is the Aryan Propaganda? How so?
  6. We are Temporal Beings physically - temporary/transitory....God is Timeless - Eternal Man is a becoming "Being". We are Evolving in our understanding of God Yes God is conceived as Perfect....That Perfection is not our Idea of what Perfection is - but God's. How do you know that Evolution is not Part of God's Idea of Perfection?...we are searching God Out In other Words our understanding of God is evolving. God is perfection our interpretation of God is Imperfect True. Perfection in some sense means Completion...We are not complete. True
  7. The Swedish Idea Vision Zero is the impetus behind most of the new changes in road design first adopted by Washington in 2000 and first implemented in NYC In 2014 its a growing Global policy but not yet totally accept Nationwide in the US. So statistically your statistics are about 40 yrs too much and Way too large a sample area. Vision Zero is a global movement to end traffic-related fatalities and serious injuries by taking a systemic approach to road safety. The premise of this strategy is that road deaths and injuries are unacceptable and preventable. First implemented as the national road policy in Sweden in 1997, Vision Zero has now been adopted by more than 20 cities around the world. Underlying the Vision Zero strategy is the Safe System – a holistic safety approach that shifts responsibility from the people using roads to the people designing them, integrating core management and action areas to create a safe mobility system forgiving of human error. The structure of an effective Vision Zero strategy embodies the Safe System approach. As the policy concept of Vision Zero gains traction, cities must ensure that the Safe System’s key principles and action areas are applied to each new context, considered holistically both in policy documents and practical implementation as cities develop their road safety strategies. https://visionzerochallenge.org/vision-zero?locale=en
  8. I can Answer your question about traffic circles or roundabouts definitively as I work on one such project. The Main purpose is to save lives....a study was done which basically says - Vision Zero Traffic Lights cause less accidents overall but when they do occur the tend to result in more devastating consequence - serious bodily injury or death. Whilst Traffic circles results in more accident they tend to be fender benders, swipes and scratches In Short Traffic circles saves more lives.
  9. You LOOK great... Live eat drink be merry laugh enjoy have fun and be happy....for Today is Everlasting - NOW.
  10. The World is 90% what you make it....The problem is we often do not realize or know what we are making. The World is not what we want it to be....The World is what We Are - Reflected. In a Nutshell You are what has your ATTENTION. Whatever you commands most of your ATTENTION creates a PERCEPTION of what IS Your PERCEPTION informs your PERSPECTIVE PERSPECTIVE becomes MINDSET. MINDSET creates INTENTIONS which leads to ACTIONS/INACTIONS - Reactions
  11. No....Not in my opinion happiness is basically a Skill. Or a State of Mind that has no requirement beyond the ability to choose a particular perspective. Acquisition of Desires is Fulfillment or Achievement....Neither Guarantees Happiness.
  12. Trumps Hypocrisies has not been exposed to his base....Only his exploits.
  13. Its not a theory....its a Conspiracy. As far as I know you are correct a President can only pardon federal crimes....but I stand by my assertion that he will be pardon of all Charges Personally I do not think Trump will be Imprisoned....Convicted yes. I am more interested in Discrediting Trump and exposing his Hypocrisies.

  15. Caucasians "Rope in after they were banished"....Not my understanding of the Situation. My understanding of the Situation is that a group of Africans now known as the Grimaldi(50,000 yrs ago) were the first Homo sapiens sapiens to inhabit Europe. Second Group of Africans cut off with the Grimaldi were the Cro-Magnon (30,000 yrs ago) the came later by way of Asia. They were not "banished" but cut off as a result of the Ice (Age - 12,000 yrs ago)) forced to adapt/survive in that new environment. The Gradual and sometime sudden melting of the Ice resulted in Floods all over the globe...Travel between North and South continually became easier Okay to be direct some Africans and some Native American peoples have traditional Flood stories..
  16. Yes.....Peoples of six Continents have a flood story - that's Global. Gilgamesh's is believed to be one of the earliest iterations.
  17. Your theory echoes that of Herodotus who seemed to think the Colchians(Black Sea) were originally Egyptians now known as Georgians - Caucasians. Your Theory on the Flood story not being Global is incorrect.
  18. The Dogon of Mali is one of the most interesting group, when it comes to Exterrestrial visiting Earth. It is their belief That they are Descendants of Amphibious Beings from the Dog Star(Canis) Constellation of the Sirius (Osiris)Star system. As Proof they have and has displayed knowledge that confound some considered the Greatest of Modern Western Scientists. The Dogu of Japan, The Dagon of the Biblical Philistines, and Oannes of Sumer...... In short what we today popularly call Mermaids. Matsya. Echoes of .....Moses Jonah Noah and Nommo
  19. What other way is that? Politics is a popularity contest which means being liked....especially electoral politics. The best way to get people to vote for you and gain popularity is by buying their vote....Boss Tweed was not hated by the Voters or the Irish - They were bought and paid for. It was the journalist who investigated his activities and the peoples whose resources he illegally misdirected to his voters that hated him....not those who voted him in
  20. Boss Tweed was a corrupt political insider and criminal....who used his elected office to dole out jobs in return for votes....Pork Barrel Politics. In short he used taxpayers money to pay for all those votes....The voters who took the cash I assume were happy he paid for their votes - Those voters loved him. I know little of the d'Alesandro family but based on your description of their (Pelosi) activities..it seems to be swapping favors for patronage - pork barrel I am sure those swapping favors for patronage were grateful for what they received and happy to exchange their vote in return. Pork Barrel Politics is a way of buying favors or likes...if it works then that individual is liked
