We knocked two years off the later date.  The cover photo is of a chain link fence and a light shining on the fence lighting it up a little.  In the background are various buildings like warehouses and such with a sign that says “Private Property”.    All the tracks except seven and eight were played on the radio at the time.  This album is kind of a needed CODA to “Missing Links”.    Some might call it “A protest against whatever you want it to be a protest against.  It was an era when protest songs still reigned.   

I didn't vote for Obama but I didn't vote for Romney either.  I still don't like him.  So I voted for Jill Stein of the green party just to go completely off the reservation.  I woke up the night before the election restless and resolved then and there I could not vote for Obama.  Basically it breaks down to five reasons, but there might be more.  First of all of course is his "wrongful life' stand on Abortion, which is beyond extreme and even worse than partial birth abortion.  The next is his coming out in favor of gay marriages last June.  That move apalled me then and I was surprised it didn't blow his campaign out of the water then.  The third is this whole relation with Wall Street - - which kind of transcends left and right.  Michelle Bachman, Ron Paul, and Rick Perry took stands against wall street abuses, so I side with those three.  I don't know what the banks ever did with that bail out money but I'm sure the tax payers would like to know.  There were questions about Timothy Geitner's wall street background, and also questions about his Income taxes before he was approved.  Also I am concerned about "re-inflating the bubble" repeating the same disasterous cycle over.  The fourth is the area that Paul admitted to me he was concerned about, which is government snooping into our private lives without criminal cause.  It seems that Google and some others don't mind "marking a sight as politically dangerous" if it's too right wing or something.  We can't have that.  Ron Paul wouldn't stand for that.  Number five is obviously this whole Bengazi thing.  No I haven't ignored all those Fox News links you have sent me.  They bother me.  And now with the whole bit about Petrayas resigning the plot only thickens.  We'll have to stay tuned.  I kind of looked over the Green Party platform.  It seemed - - reasonable, if more left wing than you might vote.  It seemed less specific than the "Peace and Freedom" party platform- - which features more specific left wing goals.

Explanation of following paragraph.   There is a progression of number ratios carried out to infinity leading to the Golden Mean.  8 and 13 is the fourth such series.   At one time there was the belief that there were 22 levels of the afterlife.  8 are unreal or "dark" realms.  These are from 15 to 22.  Thus zero kind of begins at 14.  Realm 13 was held to be the worst form of Judgement and Hell that was actually "real".  12 and 10 were seen as mirror realms of each other in this universe.  11 was the Sea of Green  9 through 1 were seen as heavenly realms.  Hence for something to be valid or real it had to have at least 13 "light" or actual or real realms and 8 dark or strictly unreal realms.  It was believed that since 8 and 13 were the fourth degree then the error encountered here (variance with the Golden Mean) would be the Same error in sampling you would get from using our square root sampling formula.  The connection really isn't made at all in the following paragraph, which originally directly followed the foregoing one.

I'm been working on a lot of math theories lately.  There are two things I'd like to retract or amend in my letter to Paul.  One was the assertion that the hyperbolic tangent numbers are incorporated in Einsteins addition of volicities theory.  I read it in a Wickipedia article, but I can't find any mathematical connection myself.  I don't know where they got it.  The other is the whole thing about statistical sampeling.  I said "What I need ia a one percent number to use".  Well, I've been thinking about it and actually I have a more ingenious theory about "the right number to statistically sample".  It's kind of like the Four Degrees of the Golden Mean formula, the traditional version of which is itself based on "Sampeling" so I thought I could make use of it.  As you know the fourth in the series of number progressions for the Golden Mean is 8 and 13, which will only result in - - like less than a two decimal place error or just a couple percent sampeling error.  The other part of the theory is the squared theory.  For instance if you have four people you sample one person.  If you have nine people you sample a third of them and if you have sixteen you sample four, and for twenty five you sample five, or if you have a hundred you sample ten.  With  ten thousand you would sample a hundred - - so there is your one percent everyone talks about.  Of course for a million would have to sample ten thousand, but keep in mind these are RANDOM samples, not scientifically screened for variables.  if you screen the sample, you're going to get a lot smaller number anyhow, which will result in a bigger necessary percentage of sample.  Where the golden mean comes in is the Four Degrees.  So if you have say sixteen people and you only want to sample three perople rather than four your accuracy goes to down to the 5 and 8 ratio, which is not as close.  But you can run the risk.  If you want eight degrees of accurecy you can use that golden mean pair- - and sample eight out of sixteen or ten out of 25.  But that's too much work.  Anyhow I just came up with this formula today.
