Aw yes the good old double agent. I have been trying to master it for years. Think it may have sent me off the deep end. Either that or I am the ultimate one and didnt even know it until now. Wow talk about a new realization.
My advice would be just keep doing what you are doing until you are so damn crazy that you don't know who is who anymore and you wake up some morning in a fucking cubicle surrounded by the most mindless people on earth. Worked for me. I bet drugs could probably get you there also.

Pertaining to the transfer of energy; what constitutes something being classified as "Alive"? Is this mearly a question of if an entity consumes something as fuel in order to sustain "life" or does there need to be a level of consciousness interjected into this vehicle of consumption. Fire needs oxygen and fuel to burn. Is fire "Alive"?

I gave this one some thought. Generally speaking alive means it eats, breaths and shits. Fire does that. I think that most people can agree that in order to be alive there must be consciousness of some level (regardless of how little). I cant really think of anything that eats, breaths and shits and has consciousness and is not alive.... I'm sure some internet dickwad with nothing better to do could be prove me wrong but fuck him because he doesn't even realize that al gore invented the god damn internet. Unfortunately there is no money in the internet...hmmm??? or claiming to have invented it......... soooo he had to rape global warming (aka manbearpig) for its last cent. I mean what the fuck? Are you telling me...that seriously......the ice age is a result of a shortage of pricks driving SUV's? Maybe the earth has natural cycles... holy fuck and to think you went to Harvard.....
Now with that being said: I do support the environment and improving how we interact with it.
Oh by the way feel free to buy carbon credits for all the bad things you do like drive to work..... I drive a truck and have a boat.. If I can afford the gas then leave me the fuck alone... and until the market (not the fucking govt) dictates that alternative energy will be cheaper then gas then I am going to use oil...
My name is the general and yes I LOVE OIL.
So if you update the definition of eating, shitting and breathing and add consciousness then that eliminates fire. So fuck no its not alive.
There is some cool depth to be found in the dictionary definition of the word alive...
a⋅live
/əˈlaɪv/
–adjective
1. having life; living; existing; not dead or lifeless.
2. living (used for emphasis): the proudest man alive.
3. in a state of action; in force or operation; active: to keep hope alive.
4. full of energy and spirit; lively: Grandmother's more alive than most of her contemporaries.
5. having the quality of life; vivid; vibrant: The room was alive with color.
6. Electricity. live 2 (def. 17).

If you had to chose one i would say C.
Hell look at the crises in Mexico with the drugs. Legalizing drugs would accomplish so much. First, you could eliminate the drug lord violence (which clinton says is caused by our excessive demand for drugs) by putting the drug lords out of business. After all if capitalism has proven one thing it has proven that competition lowers prices..lol... Secondly a simply tax on now illegal drugs being sold through govt certified stores (its a start) would help fund health care. There is no doubt that health care needs reform but to provide universal health care by taxing those with vision, the entrepreneurs, the "evil" rich, the successful is a fucking joke in my opinion. The billions we spend on the war on drugs would be better spent helping educate and rehabilitate those effected by drugs. Not like we are keeping them from coming in the country. Further, the additional income from the taxation of drugs would lessen the burden of taxes on the citizens and help fund massive projects such as health care and defense. I hate how left thinkers always cut defense spending for social programs "because we don't need it." Hell, the reason we don't need it is because we DO have it. Think of nuclear weapons. The purpose of nuclear weapons is a deterrent.
Pumping trillions into the market is false hope for the long run. Sure you will see a short term bump and the same people that we chastise for causing the crises will be able to profit from that bump(because they are the only ones with spare cash to invest right now). The long term effects will be minimal to possibly disastrous. Although, the economy is built upon hope it more so relies on faith and stability and not too many have faith or trust in our "stable govt". So i think conservative spending plans that keep the money in the peoples pockets is a better plan. Lower taxes and people have more to spend and more jobs are created. Hell you could write a novel on this subject but generally speaking this sums it up.
The simple reason we are in this crises is greed. Not just Wall Street, not just gov't elects, but pure greed also at the individual level. Living outside our means. If you cant afford a 200k house on a traditional fixed rate mortgage how in the fuck are you too stupid to realize you are a sitting fucking duck buying a 500k house on a variable rate mortgage? Must have been one smooth sales broker or one huge dumb fucking moron. I am guessing a combo of both.
So how do we solve it? Some say government regulation...some say lower/raise taxes... blah blah blah.... If anyone in this world knew the answer to that we would not have chosen the leader of the greatest free nation in the world out of those two candidates. My suggestion fuck it... let darwin take its course let the ethical and good companies survive and those that sinned pay the reaper... But remember no empire lasts forever...................................
Who gives a rats ass anymore...the world will end in 2012 anyways
