You're too late.
Bush and the neocons already invented it.
But unlike you, they want to drag the entire nation with them.

Be sure to take a good supply of anti-biotics with you!

Hi Sir Fred. I almost missed your post, since the original that
it was a response to was crossposted. I kill crossposted
threads, but often not unless they start getting crossposted
followups. (There are a couple of habitual mass crossposters
whom I have killfiled, such as Raleigh Meyers and
Liberals Hate America, so threads from those don't even
show up as "unread" unless somebody follows up and keeps
the crossposted headers.)
I'm usually unsure what your "snort" means in any particular
instance, but that's not a bad thing.
Re your "phrase of the week, I'm in the camp that the
butterfly in the garden in Japan can create a storm in England
a century later. Microscopic changes do make a difference
long-term, and sometimes short-term. If Mozart's father had
brushed away a fly, or not, the day before Mozart was
conceived, for example, Mozart would or would not ever have
been born. That said, I'll go along with your quote that minute
differences can usually be disregarded when computing for
the short term: It takes a century or more for butterflies in
Japan to affect the weather in England. But long-term, each
flap of a butterfly's wing makes a completely different world,
given enough time. and a completely different cosmos given
vast time, IMV.
Things cancel out when (in many-worlds), theoretical
quantum states that are not "observed" progress to a
next step where which the possible results of the
theoretical though unobserved split cancel out. In that
case it makes no sense to say that by the next step there
is more than one universe for those cases where the next
step theoretically "comes together". That happens all the
time, IMV, but once things get much beyond the single
quantum level, as in the case of an event of overwhelming
complexity and persistence such as an "observation" by a
human, the odds that a universe that has split for a given
observer will recombine, producing once again a single
reality that cannot be said to be anymore multiple universes,
from the viewpoint of a given observer-observers-observer,
approaches a statistical zero. Since realities are unlimited
or inconceivably numerous, though, that's only a "statistical
zero".
The above paragraph is wild speculation by me, of course,
but I'm cocky that it must be correct. One would have to be
convinced of many-worlds to hold such a view, but I am
convinced of many-worlds, just on philosophical grounds.
Unless David Deutsche can be successful with his quantum
computer, the grounds for many-worlds may never be more
than philosophical. Perhaps Heisenberg's Uncertainty, in
some way not yet fully appreciated, guarantees that the
view can never be more than philosophical, though it may
become as silly to think it's merely philosophical as it is to
still believe nowadays that the Earth is the center of the
universe even though a universe with the Earth at the
center is still computable.

It means nothing. I simply like it. That is not a bad thing.
It is difficult enough collecting the sayings, let alone
worry about the appropriates of the "snort".
Sometimes I really do snort in surprise, so the snort
in the sig is just a personalization, no meaning to any
particular quote or phrase.

I'm already retired so as long as you do not mess with me I am fine with your
racist ideas.

Great ! Be sure to move to Atlanta in early 1864. That way you'll
be "shocked and awed" by the Republican president. And talk about
s-n, you'll love 'em.

No electricity, no car, no TV, no plane to travel to far-away places,
no anesthesia to numb the pain. No such thing as retirement... all
hard work, and you'll have to live the Amish way!
