Senator Biden's Nuke |
The Washington Post had an article on Richard Nixon. It seemed he
wanted to nuke capitol hill because of Watergate. Right now Bush
makes Watergate a kid’s game. The entire military command the
cia and the Bush people are up on charges.
Except Nixon did a good job on extending the Vietnam War. Bush is
doing well in that regard also.
The Washington Post had an article on homemade nukes. Mr. Biden
wanted to know how easy it was to make one. So he called in the right
scientists and commanded a nuke to be made. Made to the point of only
the fissile material being added. They said it was larger than a
breadbox and smaller than, a car I think they said. Made with off the
shelf items.
So if the reader would like to try nuking capitol hill like Nixon,
here is some advice.
1. At time alpha the xray detectors looking at the core of a real
exploding bomb do something funny. They go supernonlinear. Meaning
critical multiplication is over and another reaction called slow
fission supercriticality is happening.
2. At alpha the initial state caused by the supercritical mass may be
replaced by a small accelerator. Just hit the compressed mass with
1e+16 neutrons and boom, instant double atom slow fission. Field
theory says 1e+16 for low enriched uranium, btw. The 40% enrichment
limit is for the fast criticality, self initiated, booms.
3. The moral is the larger the accelerator over the right initial
state, the larger the yield. Extra neutrons mean extra energy release.
4. If you want to vote like Nixon, just remember the place to vote.
5. use a lithium activated to tritium target. Then accelerate
deuterons into the tritium. 1+e10 neutrons will trigger 10% enriched
uranium or natural thorium.
Philosophers really need to learn to figure out how to have stopped
Bush three years ago. A slight voting problem called, all the
legislators have not assisted the administration in the mayhem. They
have, making the right place the same as Nixon’s choice
location.
A failed nation sits in Washington, DC right now. A massive tribunal
is needed to reinstall the justice system. All the payroll people
need firing and the elected appointees need jailing.
Nixon did not do ***** compared to Bush. Are you going to wait for a
draft to start?

Nixon died. The article is overtaken by events.

FALLACIES
Non sequitur: A conclusion that does not follow logically from the
premise. We've piled up $5.4 trillion in debt; we'd better institute
term limits.
Hasty generalization: Jumping to conclusions before considering
alternative information. We ran a deficit again last year; we're
still borrowing to pay entitlements.
Stereotyping: Generalizing from a small sample. We need to shut down
the border; our welfare rolls are already too large.
Either-or thinking (aka: False dilemma): Ignores other relevant
alternatives. We've got to make the tough decision: raise taxes or
cut spending.
"Post hoc, ergo propter hoc" (Latin for: "after this, therefore
because of this"): Assuming that A caused B, simply because B
followed A. There's been an eclipse just before every stock market
crash. You'd better liquidate, because there's an eclipse next month.
Begging the question: Assumes truth without supporting evidence. Debt
is a burden on our children.
Circular reasoning: Asserting the same idea in different words. The
growing popularity of a Balanced Budget Amendment shows that people
are fed up with deficits.
Special pleading: One-sided argument; completely ignores contrary
evidence. Debt is a virus that's eating us alive. We'll be bankrupt
by 1995.
Red herring: Sidetracking by bringing in an irrelevant matter. We'd
better kill the supercollider project, because debt is a burden on our
children.
Appeal to ignorance: Asserts truth because contrary evidence is
lacking. The supercollider would never have paid for itself.
Ad populum: Appeal to popular emotions, feelings, and prejudices.
We've already piled $20,000 of debt on every man, woman, and child in
America.
Ad hominem: Attacking the person instead of the issue. You think
deficits don't matter? You, sir, are brain-dead.
False analogy: Comparison to something more unalike than similar. I
have to balance my personal checkbook; why shouldn't the federal
government have to?
Snapshot Fallacy: Take a snapshot, examine it for things one likes or
doesn't like, then draw conclusions about what should be different to
make things better. (A snapshot is a poor substitute for a movie.)
The gap between rich and poor is too great. We must redistribute
income to correct this inequity.
