OMFG FREE BALU this is SERIUOS!! www.myspace.com/freebalu

On March 27th, 2008, Mike "Balu" Regan was arrested in Mexico for possessing marijuana for which he had a prescription through the California Medical Marijuana Program. Without being given access to an attorney or a phone call he was immediately incarcerated in La Mesa Penitentiary, a prison so terrible that even the Mexican Human Rights Commission has called it, "the worst prison in Mexico, and one of the worst in the world." Since then, Mike has been beaten, had bones broken and forced to sign confessions written in spanish (even though he does not speak, read, write or understand Spanish). Mike now sleeps on a dirt floor in a 10 x 14 cell with 27 other prisoners, even though there are plenty of empty cells, and no beds. He has not had access to medical attention, translators, toothbrush, toilet paper or soap. He has, however, had access to a few meals consisting of rice and corn meal. We have created this page to help raise funds for attorney's fees and to keep friends updated as to his current condition. Thus far, we have gathered $1000 to retain an attorney and have been working with the U.S. embassy to fight for Mike's quick and safe release. Feel free to drop a comment, ask a question, or make a donation, in any amount, to help pay for attorney's fees, toothpaste, food, storage of his personal belongings in California, etc. Many of you out there know the generous nature of Mike. He has never hesitated to give of himself to others. Right now Mike needs us. Please help.- Rob Areson and Katrina Davies...............................

Adystopian scenario:

I found myself most troubled by a passage detailing adystopian scenario:

THE NEW LUDDITE CHALLENGE

First let us postulate that the computer scientists succeed in developing intelligent machines that can do all things better than human beings can do them. In that case presumably all work will be done by vast, highly organized systems of machines and no human effort will be necessary. Either of two cases might occur. The machines might be permitted to make all of their own decisions without human oversight, or else human control over the machines might be retained.

If the machines are permitted to make all their own decisions, we can't make any conjectures as to the results, because it is impossible to guess how such machines might behave. We only point out that the fate of the human race would be at the mercy of the machines. It might be argued that the human race would never be foolish enough to hand over all the power to the machines. But we are suggesting neither that the human race would voluntarily turn power over to the machines nor that the machines would willfully seize power. What we do suggest is that the human race might easily permit itself to drift into a position of such dependence on the machines that it would have no practical choice but to accept all of the machines' decisions. As society and the problems that face it become more and more complex and machines become more and more intelligent, people will let machines make more of their decisions for them, simply because machine-made decisions will bring better results than man-made ones. Eventually a stage may be reached at which the decisions necessary to keep the system running will be so complex that human beings will be incapable of making them intelligently. At that stage the machines will be in effective control. People won't be able to just turn the machines off, because they will be so dependent on them that turning them off would amount to suicide.

On the other hand it is possible that human control over the machines may be retained. In that case the average man may have control over certain private machines of his own, such as his car or his personal computer, but control over large systems of machines will be in the hands of a tiny elite - just as it is today, but with two differences. Due to improved techniques the elite will have greater control over the masses; and because human work will no longer be necessary the masses will be superfluous, a useless burden on the system. If the elite is ruthless they may simply decide to exterminate the mass of humanity. If they are humane they may use propaganda or other psychological or biological techniques to reduce the birth rate until the mass of humanity becomes extinct, leaving the world to the elite. Or, if the elite consists of soft-hearted liberals, they may decide to play the role of good shepherds to the rest of the human race. They will see to it that everyone's physical needs are satisfied, that all children are raised under psychologically hygienic conditions, that everyone has a wholesome hobby to keep him busy, and that anyone who may become dissatisfied undergoes "treatment" to cure his "problem." Of course, life will be so purposeless that people will have to be biologically or psychologically engineered either to remove their need for the power process or make them "sublimate" their drive for power into some harmless hobby. These engineered human beings may be happy in such a society, but they will most certainly not be free. They will have been reduced to the status of domestic animals.1
