Correction... *religious extremists* are evil. That term also covers the assholes who believe we should herd gays into concentration camps and let them starve.
There is nothing inherently evil about Christianity or Islam. As usual with the human condition, it's assholes that screw everything up.
I highly doubt we are going to have tyranny in the U.S. as you define it. Subtle disenfranchisement and erosion of rights leading to a state that is being ruled by an almost monarchy-like corporate structure is on its way though. That way they can always point to the huge corporate oligarchy that are actually pulling all the strings and say "hey look! we still have free capitalism" and the idiots that wear teabags will believe them.
You need to read more than corporate media accounts before you decide to get so close to branding them a violent group of people. Every big demonstration attracts people who want to be violent who may or may not have anything to do with group itself. It sounds like you are taking the corporate media story of the events for granted.
And the issues at OWS goes way beyond wrongfully jailed person to police beatings, to police whose overtime is being paid by banks (which happened in New York), and all other types of problems. The corporate media *does*not*like* people that don't fall in line with their way of thinking.
no doubt... when in the U.S. we've got high level judges that have received millions of dollars from one of the parties in the case an refuse to step down it does indeed seem weak.
They may, however, just have more integrity in that system left. I doubt it, though.
I don't think it's being a Luddite to be concerned with the safety of something that is engineered, whether it be organic or a high-speed train.
Especially since in the U.S. there has been an awful lot of lobbying aimed to MAKE SURE that extensive long-term tests don't have to happen before these products go to market.
Even regular hybridization can occasionally cause bad side-effects and we've even seen this lately.
Being skeptical and wanting more information is scientific, not being a Luddite.
The old bag is going to some suffragette meeting tonight or something. Bring your Mighty Mouse costume... there will be plenty of time. Can't wait to eat your cheese!!
What's even more amazing than the amount of corporate malfeasance we live with day to day are the legions of people that line up to defend that corporate malfeasance.
A U.S. citizen has to go to a foreign news source to get any facts about what is happening... and most won't bother as they have to keep up with the kardasians.
Sorry.. I can't take this type of comment seriously without a second sentence about Fox News being an arm of the RNC (or the whitehouse itself during the Bush years).
If Microsoft doesn't like the political spin that NBC puts on news, it just goes to show you that corporate news is not about providing information, but providing corporate propaganda. Corporations don't want proper news organizations, but organs that promote their point of view.
No no no.. it's a PRO Apple Store topic. This just means now all developers will have to use the new validation method. It's exactly what Apple wants....

No doubt. I wish they would weigh in on the boot loader issue. It makes the I.E. wars seem small potatoes.
bullshit. Back room secrets is NEVER good for democracy.
Our current lobbying system is example 0.
Either that or the person doing the modding has no sense of humor...
but who am I to judge?
..it puts a rootkit on your machine, too.

look at the warships!
Each of the networks you mention show much more pro-corporate bias than pro-liberal bias any day of the week.
They are all already the worst channels ever.

To mention only one is hypocrisy.
They shouldn't be buddies with either "side" and they shouldn't have a pro-corporate bias either.
Actually, the point I was trying to make was that corporate companies do not tolerate non-biased sources of news.
If Microsoft doesn't like the political spin that NBC puts on news, it just goes to show you that corporate news is not about providing information, but providing corporate propaganda. Corporations don't want proper news organizations, but organs that promote their point of view.
anyone that uses the the "Citation Needed" meme need to be buggered with a pitchfork.

It doesn't because both Version and AT&T have limitations based on their common carrier status.
Which means that you can't let corporate leaders have power to change the laws at will through political contributions, either.
The right is paying way too little attention to the amount of power corporations wield. It's not just about politicians anymore.
