Ocean Cities


Ocean Cities
The streets of Miami, for example, are already flooding due to global warming. They are spending millions on elevating streets and ocean walls to keep the water out. My idea is to take a lesson from Venice Italy, only with modern engineering. Spend those millions, instead, on modifying the infrastructure and buildings to accept the ocean as it rises. Expand the city out onto the continental shelf, with vast underwater housing and surface areas fit for cultivation and green areas. Miami could be the first “Ocean City” built to accommodate and embrace the sea and all of its treasures. I realize this city would have to resist ever larger and more destructive hurricanes, but this is an engineering problem solvable with innovative approaches to accommodate wind and water. Even use them as energy sources. I see a Miami of tall glass buildings connected by broad waterways and canals growing eastward with new structures that allow residents to live under or above the surface. A circular building, perhaps 40 stories at the center and tapering down to a single story at the edge. Shaped like a saucer to allow the wind to pass over it like an airplane wing. Buildings supported by steel piles driven into the coral rock below and capped with reinforced concrete, such that the tides and storm surges move underneath the structure instead of against it. Large wind and tidal turbines to make electricity from these forces. Just an Idea.

Virginia Rackets

Virginia Rackets Last year, I was caught speeding in Lexington County Virginia doing 85mph in a 65 zone. Guilty as charged, except I was attempting to pass a truck doing 60 at the top of the hill and 80 at the bottom. I was pulled over and ticketed for reckless driving, a misdemeanor. The truck was not stopped. The following week when I arrived back home, my mailbox was filled with dozens of offers from Virginia attorneys guaranteeing they could get the charges dropped for a fee! Now hold on! A guarantee means only one thing. The attorneys and judges of Virginia are running a racket! I was facing a misdemeanor charge, and a lot of hassle, so I decided to pay the fee and so contribute to their unethical conspiracy. Okay, I’m grumpy about this. But a league between the Virginia judges and attorneys where traffic offenders van be guaranteed charges will be dropped for money is corruption and racketeering. What’s more, it has created an industry of hundreds of crooked attorneys and jud...

Legalization of Drugs

Legalization of Drugs If you are addicted to alcohol, then you are free to overdose on this drug, at the expense of your family and friends who are poised to mitigate or not. If you are addicted to marijuana, then you should be free to overdose on this drug, at the expense of your family and friends who are poised to mitigate or not. If you are addicted to heroin or cocaine, then you should be free to overdose on this drug, at the expense of your family and friends who are poised to mitigate or not. I realize this is brutal, but so is our present situation where drug gangs are so rich from drug money that they can take over whole governments and force populations of people to flee their oppression. It seems to me that if this condition persists, our civilization will become unstable and incapable of coping with any other crisis such as rising sea levels and famine. It is a shame it has come to this, but everything else has been tried and has failed. Eventually, individuals who are ...

Russian Billionaires

Russian Billionaires Why don’t Russian billionaires spend their money on the needs of the Russian people, instead of laundering it into western banks? Surely there are poor people in Russia who could use a hand. An orphanage or a rural community on hard times. A bridge needed or a farm tractor somewhere. I’m not an authority on Russian poverty, but how many jets, yachts and houses does it take to satisfy these guys? Some of them can’t possible spend all that they have, ever. Putin, Deripaska, and others need to stop and consider how they can use their fortunes to help their country, not leave it behind. Help for the here and now. Okay you guys, you have a choice. Tyranny and greed verses kindness and charity. Was Stalin a good example in Russian history? Your time on this earth will also pass. How do you want to be remembered? https://www.amazon.com/Without-Warning-Rabb-Marcellus-ebook/dp/B00B8L2TH2/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1542196239&sr=8-3&keywords=rabb+marcellus
