Prophylactica (The Art of Revamp)

For those of us who were alive during the invasion of Iraq, we learned alot about warfare. One of the main things that we learned was that prosecuting a war against the wrong person can make you a very sick individual inside, because that is murder. The Bible tells us to kill those who murder, not to murder those who would kill...a kill, by its very definition, is not evil (though I would not say it is ostensibly good, in the same way that correcting one's spelling would be).

Another thing we learned was how to be an effective war machine. The most important part of a successful invasion are pre-invasion operations, which is known as “softening” or “prepping” a battlefield. A prepped battlefield can mean the difference between cutting frozen or warm butter. A simple strike on a communications or power hub can mean the difference between fighting a dog with teeth or a puppy with gums.

So that got me thinking about Texit, Secession and the processes we will be conducting WHEN we secede for the greater good of our Nation, to be re-unified after we get rid of the fat of corruption.

The main example was with regard to the roadways in Houston, which are dilapidating and need to be renovated, if not for safety's sake alone...you can be the best driver in the world, but eventually, the mere aspect of just having to think about an extra facet alone, theoretically, could afflict one's total amount of lifespan, considering new revelations on Net Energy (more on that in another article on here). Eventually, dirty surroundings turn you into a dirty person, and nobody likes an ugly face, lets just be honest here...the covergirls of beauty magazines don't get recruited from My 600lb Life, do they?

If Houston wants to keep its title as the best city to drive in, then its roads will need to be renovated, in the same way that 1+1=2. It must happen, and so developing the best ways and means on how to go about it should be a major concern of the citizenry who love to drive. Doing so without the corruption and embezzling which Houston is famous for via a secession would be the first and most obvious step (sorry for y'all out there who think that closing your eyes makes you invisible).

Prophylactic is the name of the game. 30 years ago, the roads were designed to handle the large population we have today, that's why Houston seemed HUGE to us when we were younger. Now, those systems are at or near their capacity and will need to be revamped to accordingly in order to accommodate larger populations in the future (hopefully...that's if we don't continue rob piss off the rest of the world via allowing The Fed to exist).

But lets remember our lessons we've learned from other difficult tasks such as warfare...we could make the renovation processes much more streamlined, efficient and effective: economical, could we not? A good bit of WD-40 makes the bolt come off, and a spoon full of sugar makes medicine go down, and a some saliva...well, I digress. Bottom line is, do we want to renovate the roadways in the sweltering Houston heat fighting a dog with teeth, or do we want to do this the good ol' fashioned way how we were taught to work from our world-famous heritage that we have set standards by and do it the smart way, like a hot knife through warm butter? Work smarter, not harder or die, that is where we came from, when those of us who did not obey the laws of physics in logic perished, giving us the good genes we have, it is called natural selection.

Here are some ideas that I believe would make such processes prophylactic in the same way that battlefield prepping works:

The first idea is an old one and has been a major precept of work for a long time, and that is to have two systems so that one can be used while the other one is being worked on. For things like roadway work in Houston and other cities like Dallas and SA, this would entail having two routes for traffic so that one can be worked on while the other handles the load. In the Oilfield, rigs have two power units so that if one goes down, it can be fixed without shutting the rig down. Anyone who has ever had one vehicle and had it break down knows how critical it is to have two vehicles. Simple tasks such as a trip to Autozone can become arduous with only one vehicle. The likelihood of loosing your ass with only one vehicle is exponentially greater than with having two, and the same should go for work, roadway work included. Before major roadway revamp begins, it would be wise to create new roads and systems to reroute traffic around those which need to be worked on.

Another VERY important idea would be to have a fully integrated CCTV AI system up and running, and also to use the government to force those systems to be tied to phone GPS systems real-time (in the same way that emergency broadcast systems are integrated into the TV networks), that way roads that are being worked on can be identified by AI or manually input by city officials, and then GPS systems in our cars can re-route traffic around those areas, turning what would have been a deadly headache into a mild breeze.

CCTV AI systems should also be used at the traffic lights in order to better time those lights to take advantage of blanks in traffic...”blanks” are a term used for traffic light periods when there is no traffic coming the other way, yet the light stays red, which costs us time, fuel and carbon emissions. AI systems, if given enough time and tuning could become very sophisticated and traffic could be very well tamed. When doing major renovation on major highway arteries that don't have a second route around them such as in downtown Houston, CCTV AI systems would be absolutely invaluable. Renovating the roadways without such systems will be like getting into a vehicle without safety harnesses...doing something the same way it was done 50 or more years ago could be deadly in the modern era, PERIOD. Those of us around us who have not grasped such concepts who are over 30 years of age or so need to be identified by those of us who do, we need to remember who these people are and just generally make sure that they are not and do not become public officials unless they are rehabilitated and certain procedures need to be followed, the first being a mandatory Thimerosal detox (Hg mimics poor mental health) and others like general due care such as ensuring that they are properly educated and are familiar with logic and religious dogma (more on that in other articles though)...the fact of the matter is that we just cannot afford stupid when it comes to our lives, people need to grow up and start thinking more like an animal would if it had arms, legs, running water, air conditioning, hot tasty food and a fast vehicle...being inconsiderate towards loosing such utilities and creature comforts is just not allowed...and in fact, it is so not allowed that even one iota of it is veritably deadly, as if we decided to introduce a negative number into a positive infinity, it is that serious and literally has that much potential to hurt, kill or damn us, forever...like someone flicking their Bic around a huge gasoline spill with people, families and homes soaked in gas, it's just simply unimaginable, which is why I would ask y'all to remember who these people are and ensure that they are working some sort of manual labor, such as pouring concrete with micro-rebar, or going back to school or church.

With new tech such as micro-rebar and things like tire-based fill and potato starch for concrete that is both more flexible and much stronger, as well as taking perhaps a tenth of the time to lay, when we combine those advancements WITH the above, the synergistic effect will be monumental, and make the monumental task of renovating the roadways such as those in Houston a doable task that will take 10 years instead of 50 or more...what's more and almost more important is that with better concrete tech, those roads will last much longer and wear much better than the old technology and so we might be in a whole different ballgame, in flying vehicles the next time we need to renovate them (if at all).

This kind of thought train is the one to be one, and should be a form of thought in how to approach other areas which need improvement, because things are so run down that revamping them outright might not be such a good idea, in the same way that eating and drinking alot of food and water can kill you when you are very emaciated from starvation.

Another idea would be to roll out the vehicle retrofit systems mentioned in another article such as HHO hydrogen-on-demand hybridization, heat-reuptake and electric rear axles, as well as solid lubricants. Such things being done before roadway work goes full tilt could take the edge off even more, making the roadways cleaner, cooler, more and ultimately safer for construction crews...nature is life, and so being more harmonious with nature would ensure that we live.

I did notice one thing though that made me think a bit. The curbs here in Houston are absolutely aggressive. There is no gutter next to the curbs, it's just road and then curb, so a distracted driver has no way to tell from the feel of their wheel when their car has left the road and is going towards the curb unlike other cities such as Austin which has a foot or so of gutter before the curb that is different than the pavement. One curb-check and you're toast...I have seen people check the curb, I have seen wrecks and disabled vehicles from it too. It's just an accident waiting to happen when a vehicle that has checked a curb on its left side but is still driveable but then tends to pull that vehicle then to the left into oncoming traffic, creating a much higher tendency for a fatal head-on collision later on down the road. I had a moment in thought for a second and realized that it would be much easier to compel a court to renovate the Houston roadways WITH the curbs the way they are than without, and it made me wonder, did the city planners who made the roads back then make the curbs that way in order to make the job of renovating those roads easier in the future for us, or to perhaps eventually force us to? And, could that have been a tactic they had learned from their elders or ancestors in long-gone systems of their day, who perhaps had learned it from theirs? I imagined that it could have been, and that there are lots of lessons like that which we can learn if we just keep our ears to the pavement, and to perhaps find clever ways to pass on those lessons and also create our own for children of the future, just like buried treasure, or honey in the butter (agave nectar works well too).
