Could we condemn criminals to suffer for hundreds of years? Biotechnology could let us extend convicts’ lives ‘indefinitely’

Sentencing a criminal to 1,000 years in an artificial hell may one day become a reality.

At least, that is the claim of scientists at Oxford University who have been exploring controversial technologies that could extend human life.

They say billions are being invested in techniques that could mean the cruellest criminals will be kept alive indefinitely in condition befitting their crime.

FK – One wonders what kind of sadistic asshole would come up with the idea of ‘eternal punishment’ when our lowly human governments, at least most of them, have banned it:

Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.

Reminds me of this:

Friends of Science Welcomes World Economic Forum to Alberta with Climate Change Billboard at YYC Stating the Sun Is the Main Driver of Climate Change Not CO2

Maier points out that the World Economic Forum may also have been deterred by the world’s largest concentration of earth and atmospheric scientists and professional engineers in Alberta – with the Association of Professional Engineers and Geosciences of Alberta (APEGA) membership numbering some 70,000+. A recent survey in Organizational Studies reported on by Forbes peer-reviewed study Feb. 13, 2013 finds some 56% of APEGA scientists strongly disagree with the dangerous Anthropogenic Global Warming theory expounded by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).

The survey entitled “Science or Science Fiction? Professionals’ Discursive Construction of Climate Change” by Lefsrud and Meyer reports most respondents felt climate change was a natural process and human impact posed a minimal risk to the public and little or no personal risk. [The survey discounted 7.9% participants as ‘disguised’ and only 36% as “Comply with Kyoto”].

FK – Gee, the sun affecting what happens here. Imagine that.

The most important thing to understand about ‘global warming’ is that it’s the latest excuse of the “Liberal”(commie) trash who call themselves ‘environmentalists’ to control every aspect of our existences in this world.

Anti-gun Surgeon General Nominee in Serious Trouble, Thanks to You! — Plus, GOA needs your help to stick it to fascist states like NY and CT

Thankfully, because of the united pro-gun opposition to Murthy, ten Democrats are now considering voting against this Surgeon General nomination.  Since the only Republican defection thus far is Mark Kirk of Illinois, this would be enough to defeat Murthy, even with the illegal nomination-related rules changes Democrat Leader Harry Reid enacted last November.

Interestingly, according to Saturday’s New York Times, one of the options considered by the White House would be to delay the nomination until January, when, it hopes, newly reelected “red state” Democrats like Mark Begich (D-AK), Mary Landrieu (D-LA), Mark Pryor (D-AR), John Walsh (D-MT), Mark Udall (D-CO), Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH), and Mark Warner (D-VA) would be once again free to vote anti-gun.

We are working with litigators to try to challenge states such as these in court — in the face of a judiciary which is increasingly packed by Obama with anti-gun judges.

But one thing we can do to force states like New York and Connecticut to recognize the Constitution is to pass reciprocity legislation like H.R. 578, which has been introduced by Congressman Marlin Stutzman in the House and currently has 38 cosponsors.

FK – Don’t forget to use their form to contact your elected public servant.

Did Gun Rights Examiner defeat confirmation of rabidly anti-gun Surgeon General?

This comes as something of a surprise. This column reported in early February that with the Senate’s Democrat majority having invoked the “nuclear option” with regard to Presidential appointments, Murthy seemed poised for a fairly easy confirmation process. Indeed, several news sources at the time described Murthy as having “breezed through” the confirmation hearing before a Senate committee.

So what has changed since then?

The NRA has announced that it will “score” the vote on Murthy’s confirmation, meaning that those who vote to confirm him will be judged (in a critical light) on that vote when it comes time for supporting and endorsing candidates–and opposing them. This is especially important for “pro-gun Democrats” running in districts where gun rights are still valued.

FK – Uh, what about this? GOA has often stepped in when the ‘No Rights that aren’t Allowed’ group sat back and ignored real attacks on our Liberty. That’s what it’s about, Human Liberty, not just guns, which unfortunately for many are just toys that they’ll readily surrender when told instead of marching forth from their homes and commencing the extended and thorough “Liberal”(commie) trash season this country so desperately needs.

U.S. to relinquish remaining control over the Internet

The change would end the long-running contract between the Commerce Department and the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), a California-based nonprofit group. That contract is set to expire next year but could be extended if the transition plan is not complete.

“We look forward to ICANN convening stakeholders across the global Internet community to craft an appropriate transition plan,” Lawrence E. Strickling, assistant secretary of commerce for communications and information, said in a statement.

FK – Whenever they start using that key term ‘stakeholders’ you know you’re in trouble. It’s a commie word that means “You’ll end up doing what we tell you!” Kinda’ like ‘consensus.’

If they end the net as we know it, the war begins because that will be the same as ending the First Amendment. Time to fall back on the Second.
