The Judgment of the Nations, Matthew 25:31-46

2009-08-24T00:47:00Z

This is what the healthcare debate in America boils down to for me, this minute, courtesy of King James:

When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:
and before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:
and he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
for I was ahungered, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:
naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee ahungered, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?
When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?
Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
for I was ahungered, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:
I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee ahungered, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?
Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.
And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

In the United States we are the Government. The government is the expression of our collective will. If we as a people do not minister to those who have the least we are deserving of none ourselves.

Healthcare is essential to life and the pursuit of happiness. This holds true whether you are a Believer or not. If you are a person of faith and you reject ministering to the least of the brethren of Christ then you have rejected Jesus himself and deserve the fate you have reserved for yourself.

Hat Tip: Roger Ebert for jogging my conscience.

Patchlog for U.S. Government, v2009.01.20

President

Leadership: Will now scale properly to national crises. Intelligence was not being properly applied.
A bug has been fixed that allowed the President to ignore the effects of debuffs applied by the Legislative classes.
Drain Treasury: There appears to be a bug that allowed loot to be transferred from the treasury to anyone on the President's friends list, or in the President's party. We are investigating.
Messages to and from the President will now be correctly saved to the chat log.
Messages originating from the President were being misclassified as originating from The American People.
A rendering error that frequently caused the President to appear wrapped in the American Flag texture has been addressed.

Vice President
The Vice President has been correctly reclassified as a pet.
No longer immune to damage from the Legislative and Judicial classes.
The Vice President will no longer aggro on friendly targets. This bug was identified with Ranged Attacks and the Head Shot ability.
Reveal Identity: this debuff will no longer be able to target Covert Operatives.
Messages to and from the Vice President will now be correctly saved to the chat log.
A rendering bug was affecting the Vice President's visibility, making him virtually invisible to the rest of the server. This has been addressed.

Cabinet
There was a bug in the last release that prevented the Cabinet from disagreeing with the President, which was the cause of a number of serious balance issues. This bug has been addressed, and we will continue to monitor the situation.

Judiciary
Many concerns have been raised regarding balance issues in the Supreme Court. This system is maintained on a different patch schedule, and will require longer to address.
A large number of NPCs in the Judiciary were incorrectly flagged "ideological." We are trying to identify these cases and rectify this situation.

Homeland Security
Homeland Security Advisory System: We have identified a bug in this system that prevents the threat level from dropping below Elevated (Yellow). The code for Guarded (Blue) and Low (Green) had been commented out.
Torture: This debuff is being removed after a record number of complaints.
Item: Large Bottle of Water is incorrectly generating threat with TSA Agents when held in inventory. We are looking into the issue.
Asking questions about Homeland Security was incorrectly triggering the Chain-Jingoism debuff.

Economy
Serious on-going issues with server economy are still being addressed. We expect further roll-backs, and appreciate your help identifying and fixing bugs. We can't make these fixes without your help.

PVP
Reputation with various factions are being rebalanced. The gradated reputation scale was erroneously being overwritten by the binary For Us/ Against Us flag.

Quests
The' Desert Storm' quest chain was displaying an erroneous "Mission Accomplished" message near the beginning of the chain.
The quest chain that begins with 'There's no Cake like Yellow Cake' and terminates with 'W-M-Denied' has been identified as uncompletable, and has been removed.

Reagents
Many recipes that currently call for Crude Oil can now be made with Wind, Solar, Geothermal and Ethanol reagents. We hope to roll out even more sweeping changes in the next patch.

Events
The 'Axis of Evil' event is drawing to a close. Look forward to the 'Rebuilding Bridges' event starting in January.

As I rode home just now I wondered why it is that I feel so good and then it occurred to me: for the first time in my life I don't feel like a Presidential candidate won something. I feel like I have won something. I've never been invested in a campaign like this year's and it feels great to know we won.

I know that sounds corny but millions of Americans feel the same way I do.

Murder Capitals of the World

2008-09-30T17:23:56Z

From Foreign Policy.com

MARIO TAMA/Getty Images News

New Orleans, United States

Population: 220,614 to 312,000 (2007); estimates vary due to displacement of people after Hurricane Katrina in 2005.

Murder rate: Estimates range from 67 (New Orleans Police Department) to 95 (Federal Bureau of Investigation) per 100,000

What’s happening: With its grinding poverty, an inadequate school system, a prevalence of public housing, and a high incarceration rate, the Big Easy has long been plagued with a high rate of violent crime. Katrina didn’t help. Since the hurricane struck in 2005, drug dealers have been fighting over a smaller group of users, leading to many killings. On just one four-block stretch of Josephine Street, in the city center, four people were murdered in 2007 and 15 people shot, including a double homicide on Christmas day. A precise murder rate is hard to pinpoint because the population is swelling quickly, approaching its pre-Katrina numbers. Whether you use New Orleans’s own figures or the FBI’s, however, the city remains the most deadly in the United States, easily surpassing Detroit and Baltimore with 46 and 45 murders per 100,000 people, respectively.

McCain, the Seven Headed Beast

2008-09-13T22:18:46Z

I've been a fan of Wiolowa for years now but it just occurred to me to look up what she has to say about John McCain. Quoted below is the beginning of the article. Click the heading to read the entire article at wiolawapress.com.

MCCAIN THE 7 HEADED BEAST

As most of you already know... the dracs are planning on making us BORG like with implants... however one of their specialties as they go in for NOSE plastic surgery.. is to acquire something for their own aggrandiZement and beautification.... these dracs to me are really humorous.. i don't know whether to laugh or cry..... you decide..... giggle giggle.... giggle ....

As you are allowing the pix to load.. please notice his EAR IMPLANTS as well as his shifting NOSE as well as his NUMERO 7......all i did was find edges and invert what was there already..
