I love the middle and lower middle class, much more so than my peers in the upper middle class.

Some notes on law.
One cannot enact a policy (obtain a current gain or defer a current cost) that future generations will pay for.
On cannot enact a policy that one cannot reverse.
One cannot enact a policy that one cannot pay restitution for.
One cannot enact a policy that is retroactive.
(we cannot interfere with planning, we can only insure against shocks)

I have three very deep posts in progress.
1) on the properties of law perfect law
2) on economics that one of our Spanish speaking friends asked me to write weeks ago.
3) on why conservatives speak in hyperbole.
I promised myself I would try to do some serious writing today. But between sleeping late (because of vodka), my car full of Ukrainian women in bikinis, and these wonderful people trying to get me drunk, I am having a very hard time.
I know. I know. First world problems. 😉

It’s very rude to say no to vodka. I apparently must drink.

I love this country. Big family at the table next door. Ivites me to share vodka. Sit with them. (I am working but it’s beautiful.)

There are only three spheres of influence, all ruled from the north. The western, the orthodox, and the Chinese.
A strong south-facing Russia is a good thing for everyone. It gives Russians something useful to domesticate while domesticating themselves.
In a perfect world, the anglos phere, the eurosphere, the russosphere, the hindusphere, and the sinosphere contain islam and simply let africa continue to evolve.

I’m having a very hard time understanding why we don’t want Russia to rule the muslim world, other than that maybe we fear a russian-iranian petro-currency. I mean. If the russians want to work with israel, I have no idea why we don’t encourage it.
