Secret Squirrel On Standardizing Europe To English

Secret Squirrel has seen that there has come a time,now to be exact, when Europe must standardize the language,the common language,must
have a single OFFICIAL language, and of course the only logical solution that Squirrel sees,is english, BUT ,they, of course ,all won't agree,there being 23 languages in use in Europe,BUT many are,of course, very minor in nature and use, and too highly complex to be, of course, considered for THE common language.Now, that really,logically, leaves only THREE major contenders, French,German, and,the logical one, English.
Now Mark Twain  In his essay The Awful German Language  spares no pains to prove German has horrific horrible shortcomings, complete disorder and lack of system,words far too complex and long, far too many odd umlauts and things, utterly ridiculous pronounciation etc so what with the wisdoms of Twain preceeding use, we can utterly and completely reject German, besides nobody in Europe really likes them what with the World Wars you know, so they're easily voted out. Now, what of the french. Well,Mark Twain also commented, rightly on the french language, he found it to be, as it is,"a mess of trivial sounds", and frenchman themselves, as a link between man and monkey.So that leaves us with only on logical choice,English.
Now all Europeans, and indeed those all over the world, already speak English, or a form of it,some form of it, an odd form of it, mixed with their own. English ius an easy language, but we can, for the genereral European intelect, make it much easier for them, by modifying such that even they can then speak it and
write it perfectly well, and we sahll as you shall see. Now Twain saw English as the best language, adaptable, but a bit flawed and wished to change it's rules such that it would be easier to master, and he did this, expounding on this, in his "A Plan for the Improvement of English Spelling",what he suggested here follows with suitable example as provided by that great mind..........

(Directly from his work...)
For example, in Year 1 that useless letter "c" would be dropped to be replased either by "k" or "s," and likewise "x" would no longer be part of the alphabet. The only kase in which "c" would be retained would be the "ch" formation, which will be dealt with later.
Year 2 might reform "w" spelling, so that "which" and "one" would take the same konsonant, wile Year 3 might well abolish "y" replasing it with "i" and Iear 4 might fiks the "g / j" anomali wonse and for all.

Jenerally, then, the improvement would kontinue iear bai iear with Iear 5 doing awai with useless double konsonants, and Iears 6-12 or so modifaiing vowlz and the rimeining voist and unvoist konsonants. Bai Iear 15 or sou, it wud fainali bi posibl tu meik ius ov thi ridandant letez "c," "y," and "x" - bai now jast a memori in the maindz ov ould doderez - tu riplais "ch," "sh," and "th" rispektivli.

Here we can see he was working hard at it.

There was yet another lad who worked hard at modifying the English language and suggested the necessary changes to make it more acceptable to all of the world.......

And here is the W. K. Lessing (Dolton Edwards ) piece as it appeared in the September 1946 issue of Astounding Science Fiction magazine:

Meihem In Ce Klasrum
by Dolton Edwards.
Because we are still bearing some of the scars of our brief skirmish with II-B English, it is natural that we should be enchanted with

Mr. George Bernard Shaw's proposal for a simplified alphabet.

Obviously, as Mr. Shaw points out, English spelling is in much need of a general overhauling and streamlining. However, our resistance to any changes requiring a large expenditure of mental effort in the near future would cause us to view with some apprehension the possibility of some day receiving a morning paper printed in - to us - Greek.

Our own plan would achieve the same end as the legislation proposed by Mr. Shaw, but in a less shocking manner, as it consists merely of an acceleration of the normal processes by which the language is continually modernized.

As a catalytic agent, we would suggest that a "National Easy Language Week" be proclaimed, which the President would inaugurate, outlining some short cut to concentrate on during the week, and to be adopted during the ensuing year. All school children would be given a holiday, the lost time being the equivalent of that gained by the spelling short cut.

In 1946, for example, we would urge the elimination of the soft "c," for which we would substitute "s." Sertainly, such an improvement would be selebrated in all sivic-minded sircles as being suffisiently worth the trouble, and students in all sities in the land would be reseptive toward any change eliminating the nesessity of learning the differense between the two letters.

In 1947, sinse only the hard "c" would be left, it would be possible to substitute "k" for it, both letters being pronounsed identikally. Imagine how greatly only two years of this prosess would klarify the konfusion in the minds of students. Already we would have eliminated an entire letter from the alphabet. Typewriters and linotypes kould all be built with one less letter, and all the manpower and materials previously devoted to making "c's" kould be turned toward raising the national standard of living.

In the fase of so many notable improvements, it is easy to foresee that by 1948, "National Easy Language Week" would be a pronounsed sukses. All skhool tshildren would be looking forward with konsiderable exsitement to the holiday, and in a blaze of national publisity it would be announsed that the double konsonant "ph" no longer existed, and that the sound would henseforth be written with "f " in all
words. This would make sutsh words as "fonograf" twenty persent shorter in print.

By 1949, publik interest in a fonetik alfabet kan be expekted to have inkreased to the point where a more radikal step forward kan be taken without fear of undue kritisism. We would therefore urge the elimination at that time of al unesesary double leters, whitsh, although quite harmles, have always ben a nuisanse in the language and a desided deterent to akurate speling. Try it yourself in the next leter you write, and se if both writing and reading are not fasilitated.

With so mutsh progrs already made, it might be posible in 1950 to delve further into the posibilities of fonetik speling. After due konsideration of the reseption aforded the previous steps, it should be expedient by this time to spel al difthongs fonetikaly. Most students do not realize that the long "i" and "y," as in "time" and "by," are aktualy the difthong "ai," as it is writen in "aisle," and that the long "a" in "fate" is in reality the difthong "ei" as in "rein." Although perhaps not imediately aparent, the seiving in taime and efort wil be tremendous when we leiter elimineite the sailent "e," as meide posible bai this last tsheinge.

For, as is wel known, the horible mes of "e's" apearing in our writen language is kaused prinsipaly bai the present nesesity of indekeiting whether a vowel is long or short. Therefore, in 1951 we kould simply elimineite al sailent "e's" and kontinu to read and wrait merily along as though we wer in an atomik eig of edukation.

In 1951 we would urg a greit step forward. Sins bai this taim it would hav ben four years sins anywun had usd the leter "c," we would sugest that the "National Easy Languag Wek" for 1951 be devoted to substitution of "c" for "Th." To be sur it would be som taim befor peopl would bekom akustomd to reading ceir newspapers and buks wic sutsh sentenses in cem as "Ceodor caught he had cre cousand cistls
crust crough ce cik of his cumb."

In ce seim maner, bai meiking eatsh leter hav its own sound and cat sound only, we kould shorten ce languag stil mor. In 1952 we would eliminait ce "y"; cen in 1953 we kould us ce leter to indekeit ce "sh" sound, cerbai klarifaiing words laik yugar and yur, as wel as redusing bai wun mor leter al words laik "yut," "yor," and so forc.

Ah we can see the great minds at work here, great minds thinking alike, minds very much the almost equal to that of Secret Squirrel,but not quite mind.

Ben Franklin(in England mostly noted for his membership in The Naughty Hellfire Club,and also being regarded as the biggest traitor to England) also saw flaws in English and suggested changes to it as well.Benjamin Franklin's phonetic alphabet was Benjamin Franklin's proposal for a spelling reform of the English language. It used many of the same letters, but changed some of them and what sounds they
represented. It was one of the earliest proposed spelling reforms to the English language.

So we can see that English is changeable,adaptable, and will still be english for all of us, and so then we must adapt them in to our language by adapting thelanguage in totheir language,and so by means of syncretism, adapt them in to our language and absrob them in to our proper language by changing our adaptable and ever changing language to include and absorb them properlyto assimilate them, in to it so that they see the light and embrace English as the language, the sole language, the official language of Europe. Ah, yes, but how to do that? Well, we can do that, it can be done, all by proper tried and true scintific m,ethod, embracing and using the ever adapting,inclusive and changing nature of the English language itself......to quote the Borg, "They shall be assimilated.".More than
300m use English as their first foreign language and half of these regard themselves as fluent.English has become Europe's second language of choice with two thirds of people in the continent able to speak it, according to a survey.A logical choice for THE OFFICIAL LANGUAGE,of Europe, ans yes, of the world,indeed.English is already Europe's lingua franca and it's time for politicians and educators of Europe to realize and acknowledge that fact.English began its development in Great Britain and was spread across the globe through the Commonwealth nations. It became so influential across the Commonwealth that countries adopted English above and beyond their own languages.
Back to the case of India; with more than 22,000 languages and dialects it is perhaps clear why English became so popular and unifying. However, Hindi, being the most widely spoken language in India, never became the national language. Linguistic experts point out that the speed and depth with which the English language became so popular globally is unbelievable.The English language has taken
on words from many other languages and cultures, giving it its great diversity. There are mnay German, Greek, Latin and French words that have been assimilated by the English language – from avatar, bazaar, bungalow to bandanna and cummerbund.

The major reason as to why the English language is so popular is down to its simplicity and flexibility.English must become the single official language of the European Parliament, defeating its many diplomatic resisters,the 23 other languages of Europe.but how?

Well.........

The main feature of the English language that has made is so popular globally, is the language's adaptability.

What does adaptability mean?Well....change.........ability to include, such as words, or adapted words, adapted phonetics,written and spoken...........evolution,ability to evolve,ability to assimilate and be assimilated,that's adaptability, that which other languages....................lack.

Now we must change English such that it incorporates some elements of all the languges of the world, mixed in as spoken by all those others of the world, and believe you me it can be done, it IS slowly being done as exampled by such English language versions as Ebonics, Spanglish etc etc etc.Not to overhaul english would be linguistic racism..........this is an organized set of attitude,sideas,and practices that deny a racialized group those who do not speak engish as such,the
dignity,opportunities,freedoms and rewards that speaking english properly does, face it they all speak it differently and so then if english is to be the base language of europe it must adapt and make itself flexible and understandable to all, nicht wahr, as it were, or och eye as it is not.,this means speakers and hearers share access to understandings of the pronounciation of the words of the modified,improved,more socially and politically correct version of english to be used by all,whilst acknowledging the inferiority of their own rejected language.This adaptation allows for the leakage of the presumed pronounciation features of their forms of english in to english thus subordinating their language of pronounciation to the proper english.thus their way of pronounciation will be radially subordinate to the correct and proper standard of english.Not to overhaul english would be linguistic racism..........we must, nay,we are forced to, for no to creates a
 set of attitudes,ideas,and practices that deny a racialized group those who do not speak english as such,the dignity,opportunities,freedoms and rewards that speaking english properly does, face it they all speak it differently and so then if english is to be the base language of europe it must adapt and make itself flexible and understandable to all, nicht wahr, as it were, or och eye as it is not,this means speakers and hearers share access to understandings of the pronounciation of the words of the modified,improved,more socially and politically correct version of engloish to be used by all,whilst acknowledging the inferiority of
their own rejected language.This adaptation allows for the leakage of the presumed pronounciation features of their forms of english in to english thus subordinating their language of pronounciation to the proper english....thus their way of pronounciation will be radially subordinate to the correct and proper standard of english,but we shall adapt such that they shall be able to properly pronounce
and utilize the English language to the fullest.

Now changes we shall make will be implimented in gradual stages such that each and evry individual of every other language speaking nation is accomodated, as we ourselves are and shall be....now....

In the first year, 's' will replace the soft 'c'. Sertainly, this will make the sivil servants jump with joy. The hard 'c' will be dropped in favour of the 'k'. This should klear up konfusion and keyboards kan have one less letter.

There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year when the troublesome 'ph' will be replased with the 'f '. This will make words like 'fotograf ' 20% shorter.

In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expected to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible.

Governments will enkorage the removal of double leters which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling. Also al wil agre that the horible mes of the silent 'e' in the languag is disgraseful and it should go away.

By the 4th yer peopl wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing 'th' with 'z' and 'w' with 'v' to beter align the modified language with the kapabilities of the Euro speaker.

During ze fifz yer ze unesesary 'o' kan be dropd from vords kontaining 'ou' and similar changes vud of kors be aplid to ozer kombinations of leters.

After ziz fifz yer ve vil hav a rali sensibl riten styl. Zer vil be no mor truble or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi tu understand ech ozer.

Ze drem vil finali kum tru! Ze drem of a united urop vil finali kum tru. Und efter ze fifz yer, ve vil al be speking like zey vunted in ze forst plas.

But there is still something that plagues me over this though...........it does sound an awful lot like,and spell an awful lot like,some kind of kraut dialect you know.

Secret Squirrel Berates Canada On The Removal Of The Penny

Here's Secret Squirrel's two cents worth of opinion,taking note that Squirrel has never nickled and dimed you with his opinions,no indeed.And what is Squirrel's two cents worth concerned with? Squirrel is concerned with the Canadian government's remoival of the cent,the penny,,their pence as it were.It just makes no cents to do so as Squirrel sees it,just makes trouble for the Canadian population on the whole, the Canadian government treating them like so many holes,on the whole.Squirrel has a penny worth of thoughts on this subject and her shares them with you.

Firstly let's look at the history of the early pennies, as they were created for proper use,and right use, so very many centuries ago, by those far wiser than Canadian politicians.......

First pennies

Through the end of the 7th century, no Anglo-Saxon coins had been minted in any metal besides gold.

In Northumbria, pennies made of silver were being minted in the name of Bishop Eadbert (consecrated between 772 and 782, died between 787 and 789), some in
the name of his brother Archbishop Egbert (the shilling is one of the oldest of English coins, preceding the penny).

Pepin the Short, in about 735, minted the novus denarius. The novus denarius was based on the denarius and the penny was based on the novus denarius. He declared that 240 pennies or pfennigs should be minted from one Carolingian pound, approximately 326 grams (11.5 oz), of silver, so a single coin contained about 1.36 grams (0.048 oz) of silver. (As of December 2011, this would cost about £0.98).

Circa 790 Charlemagne instituted a major monetary reform, introducing a new silver penny with a smaller diameter but greater mass. Surviving examples of this penny have an average mass of 1.70 gram (although some experts estimate the ideal theoretical mass at 1.76 gram). The purity is variously given as 0.95 or 0.96.

The penny was introduced into England by King Offa, the king of Mercia (from 757 until his death in July 796), using as a model a coin first struck by Pepin the Short. King Offa minted a penny made of silver which weighed 221/2 grains or 240 pennies weighing one Saxon pound (or Tower pound—equal to 5,400 grains—as it was afterwards called), hence the term pennyweight.(Besides introducing the penny in to England, Offa was wise enought to wall dyke in the Welsh surrounding Wales with a huge earthworks dyke to be seen to the present day,to keep the Welsh in as it were, and so out of England as it was,he can't possibly have been ignorant there for by logical reasoning.)

    The coinage of Offa's lifetime falls essentially into two phases, one of the light pennies of medium flan comparable to those of the reign of Pepin and the first decades of that of Charlemagne in France, and another of heavier pennies struck on larger flans that date from Offa's last years and correspond in size to Charlemagne's novus denarius introduced in 793/4. But the sceat fabric survived in East Anglia under Beonna and until the mid 9th century in Northumbria, while the new-style coinages were not merely those of Offa, but were stuck also by king of East Anglia, Kent, and Wessex, by two archbishops of Canterbury, and even in the name of Offa's queen, Cynethryth.Henry III in 1257 minted a gold penny which had the value of twenty silver pence. The weight and value of the silver penny steadily declined from 1300 onwards.

And so the penny was, in wisdom, born, so very early on.And so what of the day, the present day...........what have we to say, but.........

A penny for your thoughts, a popular saying, a popular request, the politicians, the Canadian politicians, thought it far too cheap for their thoughts, swelled head that they have, so they thought they rewrite it to A Nickel for your thoughts,well their thoughts and actions aren't worth a cent really, t'is true, subconciously they knew it, but their ego's wouldn't let them drop it to half a cent,and they certainly think your thoughts aren't worth a cent.Scots now ridicule Canadians openly saying, "Eye y'a 'av na got a penny fur ma tots.",and the Irish say "Ah begoran ya 'ave no got a penny fer ma thoughts." as well.Sadly tghis Canadian move has sorely affected Scottish and Irish thoughts but of course Canadian politicians don't care a rats arse for the thoughts of Scots nor the Irish.

Further their egos drove'em on, knowing there was the expression,bad penny, knowing that politicians were referred to as bad pennies,so the penny just had to go.Well they can still be called and referred to as bad nickels if things come to that,as they shall.

Another expression they've done in is A penny saved is a penny earned.Well now Canadians can't be said to earn a penny,it's destroyed the nation what the politicians have donenot that they knew, or know, or could possibly know that that''s exactly what they've done,that's what they were dooing, nay,not themwhy they've gone and turned the Canadians in to a bunch of penniless sad sacks doomed to lives of penury without a penny.Top it all off now the Canadian government won't give two cents to their complaints.
Even kids have gotten nickled and dimed by the Canadian government as this means the end of their fav penny whistle candy, and horrors, no more penny bubble gum balls, no doubt the politicians realizing this are moving in on the gum ball machine racket.I never put it past them.

And so too are gone penny ante busineses,for the politicians have now decided to undoubtablye come out of the closet and go hard core with their arranged businesses,organized crime it all is.

Gone now too are the days of the Penny Arcade, sad pasing for the Canadians, victims of the politicians.Gone too are the days that foreign nations got a red cent from Canada, now not even yet that for them. The Canadian government just has no cents and centsibility.Why just look at the wisdom of the British, the Euro and the pound et all, and through it all the Brits kept their pence,it can't be said that the Brit PM hasn't got his pence, but it can be said that the Canadian Prime Minister hasn't got any cents.Let's just look at how things have changed now that Canada has eliminated the penny, at least in Canada.......

Well, first of all, I'm worth every penny.
Howard Stern


A penny is a lot of money, if you have not got a penny.”yiddish quote

a penny saved is a penny earned-ben franklin

“Penny wise is often pound foolish.”
penny wishing well, now more expensive, lest wishes to the buck.

  “I told the Inland Revenue I didn't owe them a penny because I lived near the seaside.”

 Ken Dodd“Sex in a woman's world has the same currency a penny has in a man's. Every penny saved is a penny earned in one world and in the next every sexualadventure is a literary experience.”

 Harry Golden       

    I Like this quote I dislike this quote“I won't play for a penny less than fifteen hundred dollars”

 Honus Wagner    
                   
 A penny saved is a penny earned.
-- Benjamin Franklin.

Find a penny, pick it up, and all the day you'll have good luck.
Find a penny, leave it lay, and you'll have bad luck all the day.
-- Proverb

Look after the pennies, and the pounds will take care of themselves.
-- English proverb

In for a penny, in for a pound.
-- English proverb

Every time it rains
it rains pennies from heaven.
-- "Pennies From Heaven," lyrics by Johnny Burke


Pennies do not come from heaven. They have to be earned here on earth.
-- Margaret Thatcher

Just ponder how it has affected all of these quotes.........well it has paid book to Howard Stern's value.but let's not go there, pluses don't count in this desertation on the removal of the penny in Canadian circulation......

Now what value and use and importance has the penny......

To "spend a penny" in British idiom means to urinate. The etymology of the phrase is literal; some public toilets used to be coin-operated, with a pre-decimal penny being the charge levied. The first recorded charge of a penny for use of a toilet was at the The Great Exhibition of 1851.But then the Frenchman Depardieu,(also know as the Ridiculous Flying Fatman) hans't any need of a penny as he pees anyhere without paying,true, and noted.

Let's look at the penny versus the nickel,and also the effects of the removal of the penny,leaving the nickel.........

  Consumers and the Economy — Penny elimination would be bad for consumers and the economy, and the alternative to the penny - rounding to the nickel - will negatively impact working families. Research by Penn State University Economist Ray Lombra shows that were the penny to be eliminated, consumers would be hit with a multi-billion dollar rounding tax.  In addition, the penny is a hedge to inflation.

    Popular support — An overwhelming number of Americans want to keep the penny. A poll conducted March 22-25, 2012 by Opinion Research Corporation International found over two-thirds (67%) of those surveyed favor keeping the penny in circulation. These results confirm the strong and unwavering public support for the penny.  The poll results showed that over two-thirds of adults (67%) favor keeping the penny in circulation; 77% are concerned that if the government implements a rounding system for cash purchases, businesses might raise prices; 66% of Americans oppose eliminating the penny and establishing a price rounding system.

    Demand for Nickels — According to the U.S. Mint, rounding to the nickel would also lead to a demand for increased production of nickels, costing around 11 cents to produce. Applied to FY 2011 cost and shipment data, the Mint would have incurred an additional net loss of $10.3 million without the penny in 2011.
 
  Charities — The penny aids charities in raising hundreds of millions of dollars each year for important causes and clearly demonstrates the coin's value.

Notable charities like Ronald McDonald House Charities , the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, School and Youth Programs , Pennies for Patients, and countless

local groups rely significantly on small penny contributions. On Lincoln's birthday in 2009, the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society celebrated the 15 billionth ($150 million) penny collected by school students across the country for their "Pennies for Patients" program.
    Charge of lost worker productivity — Retail workers are not paid according to their productivity. It is difficult to link time wasted with pennies to a dollar equivalent productivity loss.
Prices will increase - If we eliminate the penny, everything will have to be rounded to the nickel. Merchants will probably round everything up in their favor, costing us more for everything we buy.

The poor pay the most - A corollary to the above argument says that the poor will be affected the most, because they are most likely to make more frequent, smaller purchases, thus suffering the rounding up more often.

Charities need pennies - There are thousands of small charities that depend on penny drives to bring in donations. People think nothing of pouring out their old penny jars to support these drives, but they won't part with nickels so easily.

Nickels cost even more to make - If we eliminate the penny, we will need more nickels in circulation. Nickels cost 7.7 cents to make, (2.7 cents over face value, as opposed to 0.26 cents over face value to make a penny,) so making each nickel costs 1.44 cents more than making each penny. Since the penny costs 0.26 more than face value to make, the Mint can make 5 pennies and still lose less money than making 1 nickel. And, of course, if we eliminate the penny, we'll need a lot more nickels, which will offset the savings of stopping penny manufacture.

And so, remember, the luck of the penny, the Canadian government having left Canadians, as it were,are and is.luckless..........
 
Finding a penny is sometimes considered lucky and gives rise to the saying, "Find a penny, pick it up, and all the day you'll have good luck." This may be a corruption of "See a pin and pick it up, all the day you'll have good luck" and similar verses, as quoted in The Frank C. Brown collection of North Carolina folklore and other places.

It is also believed that one may get rid of bad luck by dropping a penny on the ground. The bad luck will go with the coin and be acquired by the next person to pick it up.

Every thoughtful penny believer must sometime pause to ponder the great questions with which we are presented by our penny faith: How came this lucky penny here in my path for me to find? Does it come to me (and I to it) by mere accident, by random chance? Or, could it be that my finding of this penny necessarily had to be, that it was determined by a complex web of inexorably linked events? And just what do I mean by luck, anyway?
Consider the difference in meaning when we say that to find a penny is lucky. Clearly it is not because we are now one cent richer. Rather, it is because the found penny exerts an influence on subsequent events.Lacking the penny, we have no luck,we are.lucked out,out of luck.in short in great trouble,being so deserted then by lady luck who then throws herself upon those who still have pennies.Pennies are blessed because they are of no practical value in a money-grubbing, namebrand-worshiping society. Unbelievers put them in little bowls by cash registers to expedite the purchasing of stuff. By contrast, nickels, dimes, and quarters are money; no one yet gives them awayFrom the person who lost the penny. Luck can be neither created nor destroyed, but is distributed—very unevenly—throughout the living cosmos. Luck continually flows from one living entity to another and back again. When you are dead, you are out of luck,you have no pennies.in short the government wishes us dead.Penny is made from copper, which is one of the oldest metals used by humans. It has played an important role in mythology. Its primary use has been as a specified metal in rituals, but it has also represented the Greek God Venus and to the Greeks, it could protect against evil and attract love. Find a lucky penny means you are being protected against any evil energy, and you can use it as a lucky charm.Many people believe it's best to find pennies heads up and that finding and picking up tails up penny is unlucky. This is based on Manichaeism, a system of religious doctrines based on a supposed primordial conflict between light and darkness or goodness and evil. Centuries ago people believed in polar opposites of good and evil, body and soul, dark and light. With coins, specifically the lucky penny, heads were seen as good while tails was seen as evil.A penny may be tossed overboard when one sets out to sea, in hopes of appeasing the marine gods and thus ensuring a safe passage. Similarly a penny (or other coin) may be tossed into a well or pool in the belief that so doing will cause one's wish to be grantedIt may seen a low tech accessory for a $2.5bn spacecraft, but Nasa has revealed the key to ensuring the Curiosity rover, which landed on the red planet this morning, can see clearly.

It is Curiosity's own lucky penny.

Rather than rely on hi-tech cameras and sensors, the space agency has revealed it secretly hid a lucky penny on its latest craft headed for the red planet.So was it and is it wise for the Canadian Government to have robbed,removed, stolen, the penny from the average Canadian Citizen? No, says I,Secret Squirrel, for any and all of the above reasoning.

Secret Squirrel Ponders Making Crime Pay To Reduce Crime

Secret Squirrel has pondered the vast expense of the prison system with respect to many of the so called smaller crimes, versus the violent ones, and has come to the conclusion that we should make crime pay as it were to reduce the costs of the prison system and system of incarceration on the tax payer. It would and could work, and in the worst we would come out at a cost which equals incarceration, without actual incarceration. All round there would be vast benefits you see.
Consider things as they are with respect to salary, the dole(welfare payouts), and the cost of incarceration of those who have committed crimes(here considering the non violent crimes at best, we would still be incarcerating and keeping those of violent natures and crimes in Her Majestie's Prisons For The Extremely Naughty.).

Now it has been noted that there was and is a rapid growth of the US penal population over the last two decades that has coincided with a decline in the number of welfare recipients,in short the welfare recipients are finding their way in to the prisons,where conditions of living and their general quality of life are better than living on the dole,over there at any rate.Of course this means that those on the dole, the wlefare system as it were, have been committing crimes rather tahn sitting contentedly at home collecting the meaghre and inadequate US payout. BUT, let's look at the US dole payout, t'is merely,only,solely (or soulessly....)...In the USA ,in 9 states welfare pays more than the average first-year salary for a teacher,the rest however don't.

 Now consider the costs to house prisoners in Britain.The cost to house in reception center is $92.60 per day....say 100$, be 3000 per month $36000 per year.........The estimated cost for a UK prison place is usually quoted at something like £37,500 per year. So this works out at £102.74 per day. So this being the actual cost per se,et all...why not just pay them that per day/per year say that's
roughly 32000$ per year for them NOT to commit crime.........come to the same thing wouldn't it then, eh whot! I should say so.The average salary per year in England is 26000pounds.On the dole however,they collect £30,899 before tax, while many workers can only aspire to an average wage of £23,422(which at US dollar equal rate, would be the same as the average Italian wage,surprisingly).....now the incentive NOT to commit crime would be evn more.Who's to object to that eh?Consider.....Britain's benefits bonanza has been laid bare as it emerged 100,000 households rake in more than the average wage in welfare every year.It IS affordable you know, what with that stated figure being spent on each prisoner each year anyway I should say.The Americans can hardly object,In 9 states welfare pays more than the average first-year salary for a teacher.

So in effect we would be employing criminals to basicly live at home,employing them as government employees doing nothing, much as politicans for that matter,being paid to do nothing,and so many prisons would become unnecessary,or,indeed freed up for the hardened violent criminals which the
Judges state simply aren't able to house so THEY are set free to commit yet more violent crimes.

Why does Britain bear such costs of incarceration? Well that's because Britain prosecutes certain of the more petty crimes,versus other nations which do not. Consider Holland with respect to the smaller drug crimes which Britain will and does prosecute.In Holland its capital is notorious among stoners and college kids for marijuana haze–filled "coffee shops," Holland has never actually legalized
cannabis — the Dutch simply don't enforce their laws against the shops. Other countries have lowered their crime rates by simply decriminalizing crime,such as in Portugal, which in 2001 became the first European country to officially abolish all criminal penalties for personal possession of drugs, including marijuana, cocaine, heroin and methamphetamine.However, Britain does not, it incarcerates.....so pay'em NOT to do drugs etc by paying them what they coswt to incarcerate for doing that very thing! Makes sense it does doesn't it!!
Of course, there is the problem that they'd then commit crimes to get the pay out you know. Indeed we'd have the French,Spainyards, and Italians flocking to Britain to commit the crimes so that they could get the payout. Eye there's the rub.

Secret Squirrel Ponders New Orlean's Problems with Lake Pontchartrain.

Secret Squirrel has once again turned his attention to New Orleans,the hurricanes it suffers from, the waters of Lake Ponchartrain, and the levees,and sees things are still sadly lacking and not right at all for the safety of the citizens of New Orleans. Let's look at Lake Pontchartrain which generates a vast problem and is a great threat in itself to the people of New Orleans.

As an estuary, Pontchartrain is not a true lake. It is, however, part of one of the largest wetlands in North America, and the world.It's average depth,at 12-14 feet. with a Max. depth, 65 feet (20 m).Max. length 40 mi (64 km) with Max. width     24 mi (39 km).It's surface area is 630 sq mi (1630 km²).It threatens New Orleans with each and every hurricane, regardless of actual strength, as storm surges develop from the lake even yet at weak category 3 hurricanes as surge is dependent on both wind, and actual water volumes from the hurricane itself.
The government, in it's idiocy, won't close off Lake Pontchartrain at the bridge,and
drain the lake which constantly threatens New Orleans with massive storm surge
flooding,over toppings, and breeches of the levee system which barely holds Lake Pontchartrain back.

A hurricane in September, 1947 flooded much of Metairie, Louisiana, much of which is slightly below sea level due to land subsidence after marshland was drained. After the storm, hurricane-protection levees were built along Lake Pontchartrain's south shore to protect New Orleans and nearby communities. A storm surge of 10 feet (3.0 m) from Hurricane Betsy overwhelmed some levees in Eastern New Orleans in 1965 (while storm surge funneled in by the Mississippi River – Gulf Outlet Canal and a levee failure flooded most of the Lower 9th Ward). After this the levees encircling the city and outlying parishes were raised to heights of 14 to 23 feet (4.3 to 7.0 m). Due to cost concerns, the levees were built to protect against only a Category 3 hurricane; however, some of the levees initially withstood the
Category 5 storm surge of Hurricane Katrina (August 2005), which only slowed to Category 3 winds within hours of landfall (due to a last-minute eyewall replacement cycle).

Experts using computer modeling at Louisiana State University after Hurricane Katrina have concluded that the levees were never topped but rather faulty design, inadequate construction, or somecombination of the two were responsible for the flooding of most of New Orleans: some canal walls leaked underneath because the wall foundations were not deep enough in peat-subsoil to withstand the pressure of higher water.

Tropical Storm Isaac, downgraded from a hurricane about 19 hours after making landfall, drove water over a levee in a lightly populated part of Plaquemines Parish.Until the weather stabilizes,it’s too dangerous to breach the levee, but it needs to be done so water can flow back into the bay.There was considerable talk about breaching the levee to take pressure from the great storm surge off the levee.So clearly then, all's not well with the levees as such.

Storm surge depends on winds, and also on volume of water dropped during the hurricane. One can see the problems with the levees let the water in, let the water out, a breaching of the levees appears to be done.

 For starters the levees have to be stronger than they are.....and secondly, what with breaching and what not being done ion purpose, the idea would then be to incorporate within the levees sluice gates such that the breaching can be controlled without actually physically breaching the levees.Squirrel sees the need for such improvements in the New Orleans levees, but will the government see the sanity of Squirrel's way.Squirrel sees the need for much more improvement.

Secret Squirrel On Politically Incorrect Behaviour By The Cities of Chicago, Boston and San Francisco.

It has come to the attention of Secret Squirrel that Chicago,Boston and San
Francisco banned a business for having supported and funded anti gay
groups.Squirrel finds this curious as they have not banned businesses
which have supported and funded pro gay groups.This most definitely an
inequity,and inequity, one which shows immorality and proves unethical
practices going on in both city governments.It is inequality and most
definitely a violation of The First Amendment.Let us look at what the
headlines read...........


Chicago Alderman Moves to Ban Business for Politically Incorrect View
on Gays,
that is what the headline reads at

http://www.infowars.com/chicago-alderman-moves-to-ban-business-for-poli
tically-incorrect-view-on-gays/

 Here I quote in it's entirety the article for you to view yourself....

 And here starts the quoted article...

Quote

In Rahm Emanuel’s Chicago, the Alderman controlling Logan Square wants
to block Chick-fil-A from opening a store because its CEO opposes gay
marriage.

Chick-fil-A President Dan Cathy said last week he believes in the
biblical definition of marriage as between a man and a woman.
“I think we’re inviting God’s judgment when we shake our fist at him,
you know, [saying], ‘We know better than you as to what constitutes a
marriage.’ And I pray on God’s mercy on our generation that has such a
prideful, arrogant attitude to think that we would have the audacity to
try and redefine what marriage is all about,” Cathy said.

“Same sex marriage, same-sex couples — that’s the civil rights fight of
our time. To have those discriminatory policies from the top down is
just not something that we’re open to,” said Moreno. “We want
responsible businesses.”

In other words, business that does not tote the political agenda of
government – and the United Nations – will not be allowed to operate.
Like the former Soviet Union, Chicago will only permit business (called
“enterprises” in the Soviet Union) to exist if it follows the political
dictates of government.

If an alderman (essentially a Mafia don) disagrees with the personal
opinion espoused by a business owner, he will be run out of town after
a self-righteous tongue lashing.

“If he’s in the business of selling chicken in Chicago, he should be in
the business of having equal rights for everyone. Period,” Moreno told
the Sun-Times. “If it looks like a chicken, talks like a chicken, walks
like a chicken, it’s a chicken. If you’re saying you don’t respect the
values and rights of same-sex couples, that trickles down through the
organization. … That’s paramount to the way the company behaves.”

Chick-fil-A had received zoning approval for the restaurant in the 2500
block of North Elston on Chicago’s westside. The company still needs
City Council approval. This may not be forthcoming thanks to Moreno and
Chicago mayor Emanuel.

Chicago’s godfather agrees with the alderman. “Chick-fil-A’s values are
not Chicago values. They’re not respectful of our residents, our
neighbors and our family members. And if you’re gonna be part of the
Chicago community, you should reflect Chicago values,” Emanuel said
Wednesday.

“What the CEO has said as it relates to gay marriage and gay couples is
not what I believe, but more importantly, it’s not what the people of
Chicago believe. We just passed legislation as it relates to civil
union and my goal and my hope … is that we now move on recognizing gay
marriage. I do not believe that the CEO’s comments … reflects who we
are as a city.”

Unquote, and so here ends the epistle presented informationally.Now

Squirrel comments....
.
Squirrel sees that this means essentually that if you are anti gay or
express anti gay values, which may even yet stem from religious
opinions and convictions,or indeed your own personal one, or those or
your peer group, or other group, then you are not welcome in Chicago or
San Francisco,basically as a person, and also as a business,but if you
support those views which are and go against your religion's and many
religions of the world, and openly support those and fund those,such as
support of the so-called gays, or broke backs or whatever,and even yet
fund those, you are welcome.In short if you do not hold certain
opinions ,which you will find out as you go along, you may or may not
be welcome and free to express those and fund those at any particular
time,which may even yet extend to political opinions and the support of
political parties,or whatever.In short, the Mayors and alderman of

Chicago and San Francisco and such places claim to be THE opinions and
morals and ethics of all Chicagoians and San Franciscans,and at any
particular time. Recall, in both cities it was not so long ago that the
dead could and did vote even if they did not have the right to do
so,and also many council decisions were ruled by the application
of.......shall we say chicken schmaltz (or chicken fat, the fat of the
land,the grease of the land). Perhaps the chicken franchise did not
apply the proper amount of chicken schmaltz which both cities have been
known to run on. Recall also, that the citizens are free to frequent
any chicken franchise they please, or should be, and or not forced to
frequent nor custom such places,as yet at any rate. But one sees the
day coming,indeed the day has arrived, when such chicken places may do
business should they adhere to the public and private opinions of the
mayors and alderman, at least evidently of those two cities ...that is
the reality of America,the new public and open reality of America.In
THAT America,their version of America,you are free to form and hold
your opinions, and support and even yet fund organizations that support
them ,as long as,in the cities of San Francisco, and Chicago, they
conform to the stated opinions of the Mayors and alderman of those
cities,and NOT if you don't. Here both cities have clearly violated the
right and freedom of expression, of opinion, of supporting any opinion,
yea,nay,one way or the other.

Clearly both cities are in violation of The First Amendment,and quite clearly they are trying to enforce and enforce their own opinion in any specific psycho-socio-political area.Both cities have quite clearly mentioned, and indicated their area of their infraction.Clearly these cities must be taken to task by Federal,State and local judicial processes and MUST be forced to retract,and cease and desist entirely from further and future violations in the areas of supposedly allowed public expression of opinion.To be forced to espouse the opinions of city governments such as Boston,Chicago, and San Francisco is to follow and go down the road that Stalin and Adolf Hitler fashioned, so says Secret Squirrel.

Secret Squirrel Says Britain Should Form A True National Guard Reserve.

Secret Squirrel has perked up his ears and heard of the sad sorry state Olympic Security is at.Imagine Olympic Security, simply security for an event such as The Olympics. Of course this was never seen as necessary in earlier years, but due to recent activities and events round and about the world, invasions,wars and what have we had our government do, we now require this. The Olympics requires security.More security, greater security.And, does Britain and the British people NOT require the self same, security? Indeed it does, but what has actually occurred, revealed by the sad sorry state of the Olympics, the stress,imagine,stress, it is now placing,placing, on Britain's military!Stress!Imagine stress,manpower stress,stretching resources,stretching manpower, a thing as ridiculous as the Olympics! Imagine, it never stressed anybody else, any other nation,no, it stresses Britain, only Britain.Sad state of affairs,sorry state of affairs, ridiculous state of affairs. The military is being stressed, stressed also,by evidently a short supply of manpower, imagine, THE MILITARY!The very thought of something like this years back would bring hearty guffaws in  each and every Old Boys Club round and about the nation,Parliament would have it's walls shake with the laughter such a mention would produce,people would fall out of pubs for the laughing.But face it, it's just not funny.

Well let's look at the overview of things....


British Military OVERVIEW (as at early 2012)

Regular Forces    
Royal Navy     35,430 (includes 7,500 Royal Marines)
Army     101,300
Royal Air Force     40,090
   
Total Regular Forces    

176,810 (excludes approximately 3,800 Gurkhas and approximately 2,040 Full Time Reserve Service (FTRS) personnel)
   
Regular Reserves    
Volunteer Reserves     37,600
Cadet Forces     133,000 - Sea Cadets -14,000,  Army Cadets - 75,800,  Air Training Corps - 43,000
   
MoD Civilians     85,000

Well now, look at the army.Do you realize that actual FIGHTING men are actually half of the figure, the rest are various support,administration as it were!The British military is sadly drawn down.Defence Secretary Philip Hammond has confirmed that an additional 3,500 military personnel will be deployed as part of the security arrangements for the 2012 Olympic Games.

This will bring the total number of military personnel, from all three Services and including reservists, contributing to the safety and security of the Games to 17,000.And they also state, that this drains,taxes,strains...THE MILITARY.In short as it were, they're taken short, all round and about.

Well it figures.Britain is in a sad sorry state.What thence needs be done,since the military is being constantly reduced, is Britain must increase actual reserves,then,form a concentrated effort to create and evolve an actual real National Guard,or Home Guard,the Part Time Soldier, trained for all events really, and utilized as such, and ready for call-up for various crisis and events...such as flood relief etc on the home front, assistance in whatever disaster as needed, ready for call-up such as is being done for Olympic Security, and,of course, if necessary foreign defences,such as the Falklands or Gibraltar,and various foreign wars or so called policing and peace keeping activities.As presently configured the reserves are really only geared to military activities. Of course, the Navy,a Navy, must be maintained, along with an Air Force,and here also a working functional reserve force must be created but also yet trained  for uses in national emergencies and disasters. Of course this is along lines originally envisaged and actually at one time, so done in America, The National Guard, up until recently when the Americans simply used them as active troops.Of course we now see America as extremely disorganized internally with little or no help for it's citizenry as they suffer from tornadoes,hurricanes floods and whatever disasters the constantly suffer from, they now being left mostly to their own devices.We see in America National Guard units played a major role in providing security and assisting recovery efforts in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, in September 2005.

In January and February 2007, National Guard troops from 8 states were activated to go help shovel snow, drop hay for starving cattle, deliver food and necessities to stranded people in their houses, and help control traffic and rescue stranded motorists in blizzards dropping feet of snow across that country.

 What we should be doing, in Britain, is form a definite National Guard, reservists, functioning as the National Guard in America actually used to. It worked, unquestionably it worked, and it will work for us all round.

Secret Squirrel On The Benefits Of Massive Nuclear Disasters.

Secret Squirrel was discussing things with a colleague from Japan, who had
legged it over for the duration as it were, of the Fukushima fallout.In
the course of our discussions the course of conversation turned to
Fukushima and he remarked that no good come ever come out of Fukushima
for Japan and the Japanese. However I,ever known as The Master Debater
since my Secondary School days(that's Comprehensive High school to
Americans),also Head Prefect in my final year, which may have had to do
with the accolade so awarded to me, but in either case, what with the
massive global release of nuclear radiation by the Fukushima meltdowns,I
naturally took to the positive side of things in the nuclear accident
debate.
Previously I have been said to be anti-nuclear in my debates and
writings, but do point out that I am not,that those making such
statements have missed the point, that I am merely pointing out the
reality of things as they were and are, and indeed shall be in the light
of,in glowing terms, nuclear accidents and explosions and other
occurrences which are so very common with the nuclear industry as it
were,was is, and used to be.So to the good side of Fukushima and similar
events, the Chernobyls,the Three Mile Islands etc etc etc ad nauseum ad
infinitum,nuclear reactors ad perfidiosus.....
  
1) Cures cancer, or at least treats it, for those who already have it,
hence,unknowingly they are and have been cured and are being cured of it
and so will be spared the horrible expense of hospital treatment for
their cancers.There's just no arguing that hospitals do not use radiation
to treat cancers formed, no indeed, they most certainly do.Radiation
therapy is proveably responsible for extending the life of many people,
and the application of radiation and radiopharmaceuticals has led to
greatly improved medical diagnoses and subsequent treatment of injuries
and diseases. More indirectly, applications of radiation and
radionuclides in industry have led to economic benefits that have
improved living standards and, consequently, better health.

2) Now for, those who have cancers generated due to the radiation, well,
they must enter the hospital stream, where they most certainly provide
the need for, and the employment of hospital staff, and the necessary
production of various large and expensive medical equipments and drugs
used to treat that cancer. That's a huge boost to the economy of any
nation without a doubt.
  
3) Causes the body to generate more vitamin D,a proven fact, a vitamin
most necessary to the body and so those so exposed would not have to
purchase said vitamin, a cost removed from their budgets,and a
beneficial humanitarian plus on the side of radiation!!

3)    Reduces lifespan, and demand for pension and Social Security
pension benefits.Indeed it does, by killing off a large portion of the
population effectively exposed to high levels of radiations which
generate the cancer which will kill them quite early in life long
before they reach such pensionable ages.(Recall also the plus seen and
mentioned in 2) directly above.

4) With special night vision goggles, provides additional
illumination.Indeed cancers and radiations can cause that certain glow
you know and hence improve the night lighting in areas where they can
still live in concentrated fashion.

5)    Helps kill germs on food and kitchen surfaces.Most certainly the
sterilization effects of radiations are well known, and their ability to
kill living cells and organisms which are in fact germs.

6)    Reduces body odor for the living and the dead.Indeed yet another
positive effect, and reduces the need to purchase deoderents, both
personal hygene ones and also the air freshener types you know.

5)   Simplifies funeral arrangements since no embalming is required -
Indeed radiation at certain levels purifies and mummifies.No doubt funeral
homes saving on embalming fluids usually necessary can pass on these
savings to the next of kin of those funeral customers they receive,and so
survivors benefit from lowered funeral costs.

6)    Kills human parasites - such as the Malaria parasite.Indeed you
wouldn't even yet know it. Imagine this hidden effect,going on in you
now, if you have been irradiated, or even yet are being irradiated by the
consumption of foods of whatever kind grown in areas of such places as
Chernobyl and Fukushima,and suffering from vast sprays of radioactive
particles and dusts as are present in such events as Fukushima and
Chernobyl,events which are spread over vast areas,be they spinach or fish
and whatever in between.

7)    Kills aliens from outer space - these are mostly nasty
anyway.Indeed we have many Hollywood movies proving out and using such a
scientific principle.

8) Reduces the homeless population.Indeed it does remove the homeless
population as they are mostly killed off as they tend to congregate in
certain areas, in flocks or groups or whatever their masses are called,
and so, they not being prone to evacuate such areas as being near nuclear
accidents, they die out,or off,and whatever.

9) Consumption of such things as higher level radioactive fish for
example, will result in a mild internal general radioactive medical
treatment helping to erradicate any hidden cancers developing much as
expensive cancer treatments hospitals offer do, a great saving for
you,and most beneficial. Most governments have realized this and so have
actually more than doubled the level of acceptable radiations in foods so
consumed, especially fish, as used here in the example, for just such
reasons you know.

10) Radiation actually has effects which are similar to the body's immune
system, indeed activate and boost the body's immune system, it's abilities
to fight disease.Radiation hormesis (also called radiation homeostasis)
scientifcally states that low doses of ionizing radiation (within the
region and just above natural background levels) are beneficial,
stimulating the activation of repair mechanisms that protect against
disease, that are not activated in absence of ionizing radiation. The
reserve repair mechanisms are hypothesized to be sufficiently effective
when stimulated as to not only cancel the detrimental effects of ionizing
radiation but also inhibit disease not related to radiation exposure This
seemingly counter-intuitive hypothesis has captured the attention of
scientists and public alike in recent years.

11) Mutations.Indeed a tippy subject to say the least, but consider,there
are beneficial sides to things.Longer arms for examples would and do cause
the abilities to reach things in much better fashion.Long legs, would
enable the average, or used to be, citizen to say run in the Olympics and
so beat those African runners(they had to learn to run, and so passed
this gene on to their sons etc, they had to learn to run from
slavers).Now a third eye, well, all the better to see with.Could we argue
against a case for massive webbed feet, why just look at the
Australian,Thrope, those massive feet easily allowed him to win Olympic
medals with their massive flipper like natures, unquestionably the result
of beneficial radiation mutations...And who could argue the case against
a third breast,errr in females, indeed a highly desired and muchly looked
forwards to form of mutation, long looked forwards to.Indeed there is yet
more in support of radiation mutation, here as reported by NBCNews...............

"Somewhere in Germany is a baby Superman, born in Berlin with bulging arm
and leg muscles. Not yet 5, he can hold seven-pound weights with arms
extended, something many adults cannot do. He has muscles twice the size
of other kids his age and half their body fat.DNA testing showed why: The
boy has a genetic mutation that boosts muscle growth.
The discovery, reported in Thursday’s New England Journal of Medicine,
represents the first documented human case of such a mutation."

Indeed this is a great step forwards for mankind,indeed this German
SuperBoy would have driven Adolf Hitler wild!
12) Sterility.Well now....is sterility caused by nuclear radiation all that bad.Not really. Imagine, all the sex one could have and no worries about having children,having to go through childbirth, having to pay for children?No indeed, none of it. No necessity for abortion, no problems for the unborn being bullied by such terms as "You should have been an abortion." And none of that from their fathers either. Jolly good all round I'd say, and do say, no worries there then,none at all, no expense of children in any numbers,great nor small, reduced necessity for welfare amongst those less endowed financially what with having children.A Jolly good thing.

So, given all these arguments, are they really debateble? No most
definitely not, a most definite undebateable supporting the beneficial
massive releases of radiations from what were formerly known as
disasters, the Chernobyls,the Three Mile Islands, the Fukushimas. Indeed
we should look forwards to many more such events as will without a doubt
occur, and revel in the massive releases of radiation that they cause.
Without a doubt a great boon to mankind brought to us curtesy of our
governments,nuclear scientists, and nuclear industry workers.
