Answer to Delaware Liberal: What if God is Really Google?

This morning at Delaware Liberal Donviti found God. I know some Republican readers will say, "I never thought it would happen but the liberals actually found God."

But who is this God they found?

Could it be Google? Wait a second. Before you tell me that that is a crazy idea I want you to consider two facts.

First, there is this alarming story about how much private information about you is actually available online.

Second, is this excellent article from Becky the Girl in Shorts on the possibility that Larry Page and Sergei Brin know everything about you. If they are not God, perhaps a Triumvirate Omnipotent Godhead with Eric Schmidt as the third leg.

We know for a fact that they know everything there is to know about everything, right? A sort of benevolent, omnipotent, webmaster godhead whose supplication I invoke while trying to blog and figure out new applications.....constantly.

Finally, in answer to Liberal Geek's question, " What if God is really Mexican? Or worse, Venezuelan? Man GWB is in some serious trouble;" I present the idea that heaven has taken a strange turn in the Global War between Rednecks and Latinos:



In turn this raises the question is God really just a code name for Google's Battle Pope?



So could it be given the stunning diversity of this nation, its humor and its sense of itself through the web, that Google founders Larry Page and Sergei Brin are the God that the liberals located? I say, impossible given the anti-libertarian answers they got from him, or is it them? But, who can say?

What we do know is that for April Fool's day Ted Turner, founder of CNN, found God as reported in a story at JNN the Jesus News Network:

Ted Turner Changes Mind on Religion?
Posted: Tuesday, April 1, 2008
News Summary:
AP News - New York

Ted Turner is apologizing for his past criticisms of religion, admitting that he is "always developing" his attitude as he gets older.

News Story:

Turner issued his mea culpa while announcing a new 200 million dollar partnership with Lutherans and Methodists to combat the spread of malaria.

Years ago, the CNN founder and one-time America's Cup-winning skipper called Christianity a "religion for losers." He also eventually apologized for labeling CNN employees who observed Ash Wednesday "Jesus freaks" who should work for the competing Fox network.Now, he says in an Associated Press interview, he no longer considers himself an atheist, and maintains several churches on his properties for his employees to use.And although he says he doesn't attend church regularly, he says he finds it "really hard to believe" that he's "going to Hell."

Comment Rescue (?) and child-related gun violence in Delaware

In my post about the idiotic over-reaction to a New Jersey 10-year-old posing with his new squirrel rifle , Dana Garrett left me this response: One waits, apparently in vain, for you to post the annual rates of children who either shoot themselves or someone else with a gun. But then you Libertarians are notoriously ambivalent to and silent about data and facts and would rather talk abstract principles and fear monger (like the government will confiscate your guns). It doesn't require any degree of subtlety to see why you are data and fact adverse. The facts indicate we have a crisis with gun violence and accidents in the USA, and Libertarians offer nothing credible to address it. Lives, even the lives of children, get sacrificed to the fetishism of liberty. That's intellectual cowardice. OK, Dana, let's talk facts. According to the Children's Defense Fund , which is itself only querying the CDCP data base, fewer than 10 children/teens were killed per year in Delaw

The Obligatory Libertarian Tax Day Post

The most disturbing factoid that I learned on Tax Day was that the average American must now spend a full twenty-four hours filling out tax forms. That's three work days. Or, think of it this way: if you had to put in two hours per night after dinner to finish your taxes, that's two weeks (with Sundays off). I saw a talking head economics professor on some Philly TV channel pontificating about how Americans procrastinate. He was laughing. The IRS guy they interviewed actually said, "Tick, tick, tick." You have to wonder if Governor Ruth Ann Minner and her cohorts put in twenty-four hours pondering whether or not to give Kraft Foods $708,000 of our State taxes while demanding that school districts return $8-10 million each?

New Warfare: I started my posts with a discussion.....

.....on Unrestricted warfare . The US Air force Institute for National Security Studies have developed a reasonable systems approach to deter non-state violent actors who they label as NSVA's. It is an exceptionally important report if we want to deter violent extremism and other potential violent actors that could threaten this nation and its security. It is THE report our political officials should be listening to to shape policy so that we do not become excessive in using force against those who do not agree with policy and dispute it with reason and normal non-violent civil disobedience. This report, should be carefully read by everyone really concerned with protecting civil liberties while deterring violent terrorism and I recommend if you are a professional you send your recommendations via e-mail at the link above so that either 1.) additional safeguards to civil liberties are included, or 2.) additional viable strategies can be used. Finally, one can only hope that politici
