Side by Side execution of Microsoft.Practices.ObjectBuilder 1.0.51205.0 and 1.0.51206.0

Although I do not intend on using this blog for programming notes, the following note is too important to leave in the ether.  I have many interests, but this entry is for frustrated programmers trying to deal with Microsoft Development, .NET, Microsoft Programming, Microsoft.Practices.ObjectBuilder, dependentAssembly, Side by side, Microsoft.Practices.ObjectBuilder.dll, Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary issues.

I spent 10-15 hours to resolve this problem, so it is definitely worth sharing.


When MS upgraded Microsoft.Practices.ObjectBuilder.dll to version 1.0.51206.0, they had a few bugs. One bug was that the 1.0.51205.0 revision increment was not updated, so between version 3.0 and 3.1 there 2 versions with the same revision number.


The key to the side by side execution is as follows:

1. put the version 1.0.51206.0 version in the BIN

2. create a separte bin folder (bin_6_0_3_0 in my app) to hold the previous version of the Microsoft.Practices.ObjectBuilder.dll

3. In the web.config, add dependentAssembly references with both a publickeytoken=null and one with the publickeytoken=443a159333f77b8c

4. be sure your configSections section name dataConfiguration for the Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Data has a publickeytoken=null


Your implementation may have some additional complications, but now you have avoided recompiling the entire Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.

<configSections>
<section name="dataConfiguration" type="Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Data.Configuration.DatabaseSettings, Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Data, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null" />
</configSections>
<runtime>
<assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
<probing privatePath="bin;Bin_6_0_3_0"/>
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity name="Microsoft.Practices.ObjectBuilder" Culture="neutral" publicKeyToken="443a159333f77b8c"/>
<codeBase version="1.0.51205.0" href="Bin_6_0_3_0\Microsoft.Practices.ObjectBuilder.dll"/>
</dependentAssembly>
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity name="Microsoft.Practices.ObjectBuilder" Culture="neutral" publicKeyToken="null"/>
<codeBase version="1.0.51205.0" href="Bin_6_0_3_0\Microsoft.Practices.ObjectBuilder.dll"/>
</dependentAssembly>
</assemblyBinding>
</runtime>

Why ObamaCare is Immoral and every American should oppose it.

It is not my place to judge ObamaCare supporters. Like most Americans, they have not taken the time to learn the ramifications; however, the people who designed it are deserving of judgement.

There is a simple idea called Justice. It has two parts.

Perfect Justice comes into play when a specific person is assigned responsibility to a duty. Upon failure to perform this duty, the person is considered negligent.

Imperfect justice is when a group has a duty, possibly implied, to perform. For instance, if a crime is committed and I as a citizen could stop the crime it may be my general duty, but it is not my specific responsibility. If I do not stop the crime, I may be a coward but I am not negligent.

Free market health care has an imperfect responsibility to provide the best possible care to all members of society. If someone becomes sick, it is not someone else that bares responsibility to treat that sickness. The person who becomes sick has a number of options if they feel that appropriate care is unavailable. They can try to get a job with benefits, apply for aid, get a different insurance company, appeal for help to family and friends, etc...

If for some reason they cannot avail themselves of proper care and die, it may be the free market that is at fault, but only imperfectly because responsibility is shared within the limits of human society.

ObamaCare drags us all into a perfect responsibility to provide care. The designers of the system, whether through ignorance or immorality, bare complete responsibility for everyone who does not receive adequate care. Government is known to be less efficient than the free market, which translates to the fact that more people will not receive adequate care. This is criminal negligence. Worse yet, they intend to force tax payers to be complicit in this negligence and immorality.

The economics of ObamaCare are simple. Destroy the free market to "redistribute wealth." This is undeniable, and was reported in the New York Times on March 26, 2010 under the disguise of "income inequality" which is a politically correct, fictitious notion based upon statistical groups that does not correlate to individuals.

What is also undeniable is that the system designed by ObamaCare will be accused of murder the first time someone sues the government due to inadequate care. As citizens and tax payers, our money will be used to defend this system against our fellow citizens.  Passing such a bill against the will of Americans is immoral.

I am not portraying the average American that supports the bill as evil, but the supposedly "elite leaders" who created and lied to promote this bill to gain political power over the American people surely understood the implications. If they did not, they were criminally negligent, negligent in their oath of office, and blinded by greed of power.

Americans are moral people and have no duty to God or country to be complicit in this immoral law. That is why the bi-partisan opposition must be labeled racist or extremists by the radicals who intend to impose their malicious will upon the world. The administration will continue to poke, attack, and abuse the public in the hopes that the public will react back. They must continue to blind their supporters to the truth, because that is the fundamental tenet of Machiavellian power...deception.

Dante on Demons, Masters and Leaders.

"Earth is another form of Hell, and men are it's demons," Lucifer from Dante's Inferno.


Within this context, imagine a land that stands apart, where men do not rule but are ruled by a restraining constitution. Imagine a place where freedom reigns, and the individual is free to pursue life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. This land where all men are created equal and free from the fiendish satisfactions of other men could not exist upon this Earth according to Dante in the 14th century.

It has not existed upon Earth but for a brief 234 years, most of which were formative and incomplete. Now, with prosperity and security achieved, freedom may have reached its peak and begun its slide into oblivion.

This is what is at stake, a world in which every hope must be abandoned. A world where the long arm of the law is replaced by the deep sting of the whip. In this approaching world, we may pay to avoid the whip, but our master's satisfaction is demanded at the expense of our pain and efforts regardless.

It is time to clearly define the difference between Demons, Masters and Leaders.

Demons whip and bleed men for their own fiendish satisfaction.

Masters whip and bleed men for their own satisfaction.

Leaders keep the whips from our backs.

We must not be satisfied by representatives who want us to believe in them. We must look for people who believe in us. We must restore the Constitution as absolute law to restrain our would-be masters.

People with Progressivism - Awareness Campaign


I blame Glenn Beck. He is very insensitive to the plight of people with progressivism, and continues to use the derogatory term "progressive." Watching his show, I have to cringe at the insensitivity.  In organizations across America political correctness has advanced "People-First Language" and it is time for us to embrace this agenda.


Progressivism is a disease characterized by a complete loss of belief in Americans, democracy, and freedom. Due to the lack of this belief, people with progressivism often latch onto false hope provided by charlatans, frauds and con-men. It is a tragic disease, sometimes referred to as "Liberalism," and is often called a mental disorder brought about by continuous exposure to others with the debilitating illness.

People at high risk include professors, high school social studies teachers, and people who have been completely separated from marketplace reality. Drugs use is also often associated due to antecdotal evidence, but causality has not been proven.


We need to be sensitive to people with progressivism. They do not understand language involving capitalism, democracy or grassroots movements. Some say they develop deafness to the truth and if spoken, they may disengage from conversations or run away screaming "racist," "homophobe" and/or "sexist!"



Cats are possible carriers of Progressivism. This link has not been proven. Hein Tran, lead scientist for CARB believes that his progressivism was calmed by the sound of "MAO-wing" from the cats that lived in his dorm inside the UPS box.


People with progressivism often seek power. They may gather at condo association board meetings, community organizations, school boards and often in federal governmental positions. Telling others what to do and how to live while claiming "open-mindedness" and "transparency" is a major symptom.  The false sense that they are being compassionate to "the little people" is also a red flag.

Some studies consider progressivism an addiction, possibly the addiction to power over others or environmental superiority. Prolonged exposure to "people far infererior to yourself" or people from "fly-over country" may invoke a voilent, single-minded withdrawal reaction. Anger, frustration, and accusations against others are common to this reaction. People with progressivism often self medicate or comfort themselves in the belief that "others are just too stupid to understand me."

What can you do?


Donate time to a charity organization, and teach your loved ones the signs of Progressivism. It is a growing disease in America, but many Americans have natural immunity.

Adam Smith was not an Economist.


Today, we hear the name Adam Smith and envision a stuffy old economics professor droning on about various econometrics. You may think of a powdered wig from the late 1700's, or a thick book that is far too imposing to actually read. We forget that economics is the study of free markets. Adam Smith's rail against big government-big business collusion is what Karl Marx calls "Capitalism", so it is difficult to label him an economist. It is like labeling Jesus a Christian.

Adam Smith was a moral philosopher brought up in a Judeo-Christian system. He wanted to find a way for the poor to rise up through a westernized, Judeo-Christian moral system. That free market system is what we study in economics today as "Capitalism."

Theology is not my strongest suit, but the parallels between the fundamental tenants of Christianity and Capitalism are clear. The government promotes certain aspirational goals by setting the legal and regulatory framework for free markets much like a Church dictates which virtues are most valued. Furthermore, the individual Capitalist's unique perspective allows him or her to provide value to the community which is very similar to an individual's "soul" in religion.

Capitalism's strongest moral sentiment is against the collective and for the individual. Governments and big businesses grow detached from morality as individual choices become detached from the ability of the community to admonish bad behavior by individuals within the system. As more immoral and illegal behavior can be blamed upon "systemic policy," the more out of control the entity becomes. For this reason, Adam Smith's moral philosophy relies upon the failure of "too big to fail" entities to provide opportunity to the moral individual through "creative destruction." It sounds like the story of the Great Flood to me.

Evil and Truth

Evil enslaves,
Indebts,
and relies upon ignorance to bind us alone in the dark.

Truth is a fire that burns away the ropes that hold us down,
Illuminates knowledge,
Shows the path,
Defends,
Beacons to others that they are not alone,
and is fueled by diligence, courage and the freedom of ideas.

The $3.8 Trillion Federal budget, WASHINGTON STEP OFF!

I have spent entirely too much time reviewing the new budget. I read the documentation, analyzed the graphs, watched the debates, and listed to President Obama try to sell the budget at the fake "townhalls" where only supporters attended. It is entirely a disgusting situation of lies, deceit, misinformation, mischaracterization, and misunderstanding of American ideals.


To quote our President, "Let me be clear..." we Americans understand that the alleged $100 billion savings that health care reform supposedly creates is at best fictional and at worst the cost of lowering quality of care by allowing government bureaucrats to decide which care is "comparatively effective." In other words, that is $100 billion in savings from refusing preventive and reducing quality of care. In the context of $3.8 Trillion, that is no real savings, and it is spread over 10 years and based on increased tax revenues for several years before the plan starts. It is a scam to provide unions with Cadillac health care, while taxing everyone else.

The President's budget increases taxes on small business, and the middle class through backdoor "tricks." Meanwhile, asking someone else to make the hard decisions on the huge national debt by asking for a committee to review the situation.

Reuters reported then retracted the following:

"Middle-class families also will find fewer tax breaks available to them in 2010 if other popular tax provisions are allowed to expire. Among them:

*Taxpayers who itemize will lose the option to deduct state sales-tax payments instead of state and local income taxes;

*The $250 teacher tax credit for classroom supplies;

*The tax deduction for up to $4,000 of college tuition and expenses;

*Individuals who don't itemize will no longer be able to increase their standard deduction by up to $1,000 for property taxes paid;

* The first $2,400 of unemployment benefits are taxable, in 2009 that amount was tax-free."

Claims that the above report is false because there is a promise to continue these Bush era tax breaks for the middle class are LIES because the $250,000 FAMILY income is often pass through income from small business. This injects more disincentives for entrepreneurs to create jobs and for the economy to grow.

Additionally, the capital gains rate will be increased to 20%. This means investors are going to be soaked along with savers and the entire supply side of the economy. This is more "Doo Doo Economics" and exactly the wrong thing to do in a recession, but another example of tax and spend demand-side non-economic thought.


Finally, there is the blame Bush mentality of going from budget surplus to budget deficits. The Bush administration made all the tough choices that led us out of the economic crisis, which Obama of course takes credit for. Meanwhile, Obama blames Bush for the cost of these policies. Maybe, these people need to remember that the job losses and huge deficits really started after congress was taken over by the Democrats in 2006-2007 (see chart)

To summarize the problem, American families make these hard choices everyday, and the government's inability to make these choices reflects the fundamental reason that government cannot be allowed to grow and take on additional responsibilities. These decisions are best left up to the people.

Economically, twenty five to thirty-three cents of every dollar in U.S. economic growth reduces the national debt even according to Timothy Geithner. This is why Reagan era supply-side policies allowed the country to grow out to a projected budget surplus. All the American people need is for Washington to STOP SPENDING! 

Wishy-washy Washington, particularly our weak willed President Obama, needs to "STEP OFF!"
