Can the people
of the United States run our business and government better than what we
are doing now, of course they can. What is the United States government
doing in just about everything that the American people are working at
anyway. Can't we have more affordable consumer goods and services
without the government added expense, of course we can, if we remove the
corruption in the government.
Why is the American people dealing with so many middle men in their daily business.
Because of the government, the corruption in American society is self evident.
You want to open up a bakery selling bread and your local government requires you to pay taxes for your license, and to comply with the health regulations. Then a local insurance company tell you that they are going to insure your bakery business also to protect your new business so that is another added monthly amount of money. You can't sell bread to anyone in that city or town if you don't pay them otherwise.
Then Tweedledee and Tweedledum run TV games on the
American people in the form of the Republican and Democratic political
party's that is simply breaking down America social ability to live
around one another successfully. The bad guys like the political mess so
the people can be kept under control.

What did our ancient ancestors sound like?
Click: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/
Between approximately 4,500 and 2,500 B.C, the ancestors of much of Europe and Asia once spoke the same mother tongue, a language referred to as Proto-Indo-European, or PIE. Although there is no written record of such a language, linguist Dr. Andrew Byrd recently attempted to reconstruct his own recordings of PIE language for Archaeology magazine, building off three centuries' worth of scholarly work on the topic.
Byrd is an expert in ancient Indo-European linguistics, focusing on phonology, and teaches at the University of Kentucky. For his recording, he edited and recited his own version of a reconstructed PIE fable known as "The Sheep and the Horses," as well as a version of a Sanskrit story called “The King and the God.”
"The Sheep and the Horses" is an interesting case because it was actually written in 1868 by German linguist Dr. August Schleicher, who then translated the story into PIE as a way to experiment with the vocabulary, according to Archaeology.
In an interview with The Huffington Post, Byrd said that his recording of "The Sheep and the Horses" was "an approximation" of what PIE originally sounded like and is largely based on our knowledge of the texts of ancient Indo-European languages, such as Latin, Greek and Sanskrit. Byrd's rendition of the "The Sheep and the Horses" largely derives from a text originally composed by a mentor, UCLA linguist Dr. H. Craig Melchert. That text in Proto-Indo-European, as reprinted from Archaeology, reads thus:
"Languages differ on how they pattern their sounds together," Byrd explained. "And they use those sounds to create new words. Proto-Indo-European is very guttural."
Somewhat surprised by the viral success of his recording, Byrd said he doubts that he will make any further recordings, in large part because he'd have to create new narratives to translate. The researcher added, however, that he was pleased the media attention has helped bring Indo-European linguistics into the mainstream.
Some of the many modern languages that stem from the Indo-European family include English, Swedish and Farsi. Byrd told HuffPost that this ancient connection is often forgotten in the context of today's geopolitical climate.
"Farsi and English were 6,500 years ago the same language," he said. "That's pretty cool, and it kind of gives you a sense of unity."
Because of the lack of available information, PIE is a debated topic among researchers. Byrd believes PIE was probably spoken on the Eurasian steppes around 6,500 years ago; but, he added, other researchers recently introduced a controversial new theory that it was spoken several thousand years earlier in Turkey.
Asked what it would take to create a completely definitive PIE recording, Byrd just laughed. "A time machine?" he mused.

Is This How Our Ancestors Sounded? Linguist Recreates Proto-Indo-European Language (AUDIO)

Here is the passage translated into English:
A sheep that had no wool saw horses, one of them pulling a heavy wagon, one carrying a big load, and one carrying a man quickly. The sheep said to the horses: "My heart pains me, seeing a man driving horses." The horses said: "Listen, sheep, our hearts pain us when we see this: a man, the master, makes the wool of the sheep into a warm garment for himself. And the sheep has no wool." Having heard this, the sheep fled into the plain.Although there is no way to create a definitive version of the language, Byrd told HuffPost that his pronunciation is "still a very educated approximation."
"Languages differ on how they pattern their sounds together," Byrd explained. "And they use those sounds to create new words. Proto-Indo-European is very guttural."

Well in the after glow of the poor LSU defensive reflection against the Georgia Bulldogs. I can't help but feel like even with the much improved QB play of Zach Mettenberger. Our 2013 LSU tiger football team is in danger of only being good enough to play in a after season minor Bowl game, instead of a SEC Championship.
LSU college football season success is going to depend on how and if these LSU defensive players can catch on to really playing defense aggressively. Making the plays on defense that stop the other guy football team. Until then this season is going to be like living on a wing and a prayer hoping that LSU wins the football game by out scoring the other football team anyway.

No defense for LSU's D: Ron Higgins' 'On the Drive Home'
By Ron Higgins, NOLA.com | The Times-Picayuneon September 28, 2013
Things to ponder as Georgia puts new lights in its Sanford Stadium
scoreboard after the Bulldogs edged LSU, 45-41, scoring more points than
the Bulldogs and Tigers' basketball teams have against each other a few
times in the past:
1. The LSU defense has got to get better: Okay, all together now, BECAUSE IT CAN'T GET ANY WORSE. It would be easy to put all the blame on LSU's secondary after Georgia senior quarterback Aaron Murray threw for 298 yards, four TDs and did whatever he wanted whenever he wanted.
But truth is, LSU's defensive pass rush rarely got any pressure on Murray. He sat comfortably in a cocoon provided by his O-line, giving receivers plenty of time to run routes.
True, the secondary looked way out of position most of the day, especially on Murray's TD passes. But please place some of the blame on the D-line. They rarely made Murray feel remotely uncomfortable.
2. Jarvis and Odell: LSU wide receivers Jarvis Landry and Odell Beckham Jr. are well on their way to having the greatest receiving season as a tandem in Tigers' history. Landry had 10 catches for 156 yards and one TD, and Beckham had six receptions for 118 yards. Again, they made some catches so incredibly difficult they should have been awarded style points. And on the other end of the throws.
3. Zach Mettenberger just gets better and better: He stuck some passes in tiny windows that the average quarterback has no business even trying. His command of the offense is impressive, especially going through his progressions (his two first-half TD passes to backup wide receiver Kadron Boone are good examples). Nobody in the SEC this year has thrown with his velocity, because he has faith his receivers can catch his bullets.
4. Finding Jeremy Hill a dependable backup: The Tigers' running back had 86 of LSU's 110 rushing yards. When he wasn't on the field Saturday, LSU's run game disappeared. There might be a hint of light with the re-emergence of the little-used Kenny Hilliard, who uses his 233 pounds to punish defenses, as does the 235-pound Hill. As great as Mettenberger performed vs. Georgia, even he said the offense lacked the needed balance.

Poetic justice is one of my most favorite moments when I see the bad guys get what is coming to them. After Kiffin rand out the back door on Tennessee football program I had a very bitter feeling about Kiffin since then. Now he gets fired from USC, the university that he sold his soul to the devil for.
