I am by no stretch of the imagination a scientist but I am a thinker. If anyone that is reading this discussion has more understanding of the science behind black hole well fell free to educate me.
A physical black hole concentrates a large amount of mass in a small space and creates a strong gravitational force that traps even light. The government black hole concentrates a large amount of power in a few people who trap society’s resources. According to quantum theory, however, black holes leak energy, Hawking radiation. A black hole's life is finite. Government faces leakages of capital. Capital flees the control of government. The government’s life is also finite. Finances are the final constraint upon a government. When government can no longer finance itself, it fails. When its tax collections fail, it fails. When its printing press no longer seizes enough real capital to sustain the government, it fails. If the black hole of government proves too powerful for the concerted action of its citizens to control it, then they will control it by their own personal and individual actions. They will remove their capital from government control.

I think you are right about black holes, but I am no expert on them (different type of scientist). But I agree. Our government is turning into a black hole. The real questions is how do we stop it? Well only the American voter can. For some reason a large amount of voters seem think it is a good idea. For the life of me I do not understand why. Our government is in a very self distructive phase right now. They are going to take us all with them if we do not do something about it. But I think Obama will win this election, which will only increase the power of the black hole ten fold. More spending, more special projects, more deficit, more special interest groups. (shaking head sadly) It is just such a waste.

I shake my head with you, more spending, more special projects, more deficit, more special interest groups will be the end of this once great nation. Either Obama or McCain election would not be good for this country, one would be a little better than the other but not much better. Imagine in those debates Ron Paul verse Barack Obama, but that is just would have should have.

I right there with you. Ron Paul was the only REAL choice this time around. He was just what is country needed and now we are stuck with twittle dee and twittle dum. No matter who wins, the american public looses.

So are you saying that the government will become a black hole if a black man is elected? That's racist!!
I am being sarcastic of course but not for nothing, In Dallas a couple of months ago a county Commissioner was called a racist and asked to apologize for using that term at a Commission meeting.

As for your post I think it is very well thought out, and I very good analogy of what is going on today. It too bad that most people will never see it. And those that do will deny it.

I believe you have come up with an excellant analogy to explain why big private money, institutional money, and corporate money will probably leave the USA even faster if 0bama's policies get put in place.
A tip of the hat to you!

The trouble is if the government stops giving money away and taxes the people to get the money to give away, America is left with a depression or a bad recession where lots of people are laid off, and have to work from home as telemarketers, and making their own business and they fail because no one has the money to buy from them.
I have no idea what is going on down there, and I hope something can be done to put America right again.

So are you calling for the collapse of the United States Government? I don't see the government doing that on it's own, and I feel that if our governmnet made it through the Bush years, it will never die. This many has tried over and over again to destroy the economy, the constitution, every Americans civil rights, and our reputation throughout the world. Like I said before, If we can make it through the next three months, then we can make it through anything.

So you are saying that a collapse will happen, but you aren't saying that you want it to happen. I have never heard anyone say that the government of the United States is on the verge of collapsing. I have never even heard anyone say that the government is in trouble. But, like I said we still have about three months left of Bush, and you can never under estimate George W. Bush.
