LATEST 20 POSTS, SOME VERY SHORT, SOME RATHER LONG

Welcome to One and All

This is not my only Internet project by a long shot, and Internet producing is not my only activity by a long shot. Although Unity-Progress may very well be theoretically my most important project, resources are limited for it at this time. I have the resources to produce about 5,000 words a month for Unity-Progress. To put this in perspective, 5,000 words are about 250 tweets, 20 very short "blog entries", ten longer blog entires, five short articles, two long articles, or 1/20 of a longer book. I do guarantee these 5,000 words will be produced and that they will be as informative and perfectly accurate as possible.

Unfortunately though, there will be wide variability from month to month. It is possible that nothing at all will be posted in a month, but at the other extreme, there will be a month now and then where about 10,000 words are produced. Another thing leading to variability is that there is no production template as of yet, meaning that postings will vary radically from very, very short to quite long. At this time it appears this variability will continue indefinitely.

Aside from the postings, there are numerous very important features that go along with this project to be found on numerous pages. Look for links to them; see especially the links just under the banner and the ones in the right sidebar near the top.

Finally, please know that you absolutely have to bookmark this site if you ever ever want to come back because it is not easy to find this Site or any other Sites of its kind on Google Search. In fact, most of the characteristics of this Site are precisely the ones that get the short shrift by the Google Search Engine formulas.

Unity Progress is Reborn Bigger and Better

We are making the following changes:

1. Postings will no longer necessarily be tied to articles appearing at Common Dreams. Going forward, some postings will be tied to articles at Common Dreams, some will be tied to articles elsewhere, and some will not be tied to any article at all. When we say "tied to," specifically we mean that the posting is in direct response to the article and that article is linked to at the conclusion of the posting. In other words, the article linked to has motivated the posting here.

2. Whether or not a posting is tied to an article at Common Dreams or elsewhere, there will be going forward intra post links from time to time. If the text color suddenly changes from gold to green, you have come upon one of these. These intra post links are used by me and other writers to direct readers to a good source of supporting and/or of additional information about the subject being covered at that moment.

3. On the right sidebar we recently installed crucial article reading lists. These are all-important, totally on point articles that we rank a nine or ten (usually a ten) on a scale of one to ten. These lists will be added to and will eventually grow to the point where separate pages will have to be made for them. We hope some people will use these lists as Internet surfing time savers.

Separately, from now on we will also from time to time append a reading list of one or more articles at the end of postings. These links will be to articles rated between 7 and 10 on the scale. Those ranked 9 or 10 will simultaneously be added to the most crucial lists that are currently in the sidebar.

4. Even though we disagree with "tea baggers" and other off the deep end conservatives most of the time, we agree with them whole heartedly that Obama Care unnecessarily and unconstitutionally restricts health care freedom. We also agree with them that Obama Care fails to control costs more than trivially and will be economically counter productive to one extent or another. Therefore, we will from time to time link to anti Obama Care and anti Romney Care articles at right of center and conservative sites.

5. While resources for producing Unity Progress remain limited, we expect to soon get approval to slightly but significantly increase the planned production time for articles produced for this site. We are doing so mainly because opposition to Obama Care is even stronger than we thought it would be, so an increase is needed to correlate with that.

6. Readers have been installed that show the titles of the most recent 85 postings. There are five readers that each have 17 posts in them, placed in order from newest to least new from highest to lowest on the home page. These are not simply links that you can click on to pull up the item. No, this is much better than that: you can actually read the item right in the reader after you have clicked on it. A Massachusetts based software / internet company provides this extremely valuable resource.

7. "Pages" have been installed. These are particularly important resources collected on a single, stand-alone, but updatable posting that you click a link to get to. The links to pages are near the top of the right sidebar under the header “Health Disaster Monitor”. (Google Blogger uses the term "pages" but this is really a misnomer since only the posting is unique while everything else is the same as it is on the main, multi-post page.)

The “pages” currently are:

--Health System News
--Physicians for a National Health Program Press Releases
--Health System Disaster Blogs
--Single Payer Explained
--Penalties and Enforcement

The first four are mostly links to the latest news, commentary, and research on the health front. The Penalties and Enforcement page will be custom designed by Unity Progress and will be a vital and unique consumer aid for those facing the authoritarian ravages of Obama Care. Here the penalties and the enforcement will be objectively and in detail explained. Commentary and context about the penalties and enforcement will continue to appear in various postings on the main page.

8. The new Unity Progress satellite site (or page) called NDP Canada is launched. The NDP items that were on the main page have been farmed out to here in the never ending fight to prevent the main page from becoming overloaded (which causes it to take too long to load).

9. The new Avoidance, Repeal, State Opposition, and Lawsuits Site (or page) is launched. This will keep you up to date on the many and varied ways Obama Care is being opposed, thwarted, and hopefully eventually nullified. Obviously, the motivation for this page is the unexpectedly strong opposition to Obama Care. Although I still disagree with them on most things, I have a new found respect for conservatives due to their clear and strong rejection of Obama Care and due to their active plans for opposing it. The status quo is horrible, but it is better than Obama Care. Many Americans don't seem to understand that no matter how bad things are, they can always get worse.

Note that the main topics of this site remain the same regardless of these changes, improvements, and expansions. The focus remains on:

--The health care system disaster in the U.S.
--The labor market disaster in the U.S.
--The economic disaster in general in the U.S.
--Haiti (will remain a sub focus, but time limitations will not permit continual coverage of Haiti)

The main ultimate mission of the site remains the same as well: to unify Americans into a new and instantly popular political party that will be center-left but be so with American characteristics. The ultimate goal must be to restore maximum freedom by reestablishing lost economic freedom and by establishing economic fairness in the first place in America. Economic freedom and economic fairness are by no means contrary objectives as many on the right in America falsely believe.

I hope you will agree that Unity Progress has now been reborn as bigger and even better than before and I thank you for visiting.

OIL GUSHER COVERAGE

BARRELS VERSUS GALLONS
1 barrel = 42 gallons
1 thousand barrels = 42 thousand gallons
1 million barrels = 42 million gallons

GUSHER ESTIMATE
-70 thousand barrels a day = 2,940,000 gallons per day
-70 thousand barrels per day for 60 days April 21 through June 19 = 4,200,000 barrels = 176,400,000 gallons (176.4 million gallons)
-70 thousand barrels per day for 120 days April 21 through August 18 = 8,400,000 barrels = 352,800,000 gallons (352.8 million gallons)

A BILLION GALLONS OF OIL?
At 70,000 barrels a day a billion gallons of oil would be reached on March 27, 2011.
