As a New Zealand citizen, I laugh at your optimism. Welcome to the land of low wages, rampant alcoholism and child poverty.

To his employer, his work is worth the cost of physical inputs + the cost of wages or salary + the cost of relevant taxes, regulations and marketing + the markup at the point of sale.
Yeah, Singapore is a beautiful place, I went there earlier in the year and my basis for comparison is New Zealand. They aren't really a 'democracy' but the country runs like clockwork and puts the West to shame.
Here's some news for you buddy - you live a very ordinary, verging on 'American Dream' Californian life. Leave the US, see what happens to minds that didn't grow up there.
Excellent post. I agree with everything you said except for the bit where you say that drugs don't solve problems. If I hadn't had access to LSD and cannabis when I needed them, I would probably still be a depressed anxiety-ridden shut in relying on prescription drugs.
So, because the situation is now hopelessly fscked up and it's almost impossible to establish cause and effect for all the minor incidents that occur, we should all forget that Palestine was invaded, occupied and settled?
Charging per unit of data is as retarded as charging per unit of electricity. Both show total lack of understanding of the concepts and both should be handled by nonprofits.
I remember video chats on dialup. 2 - 3 fps at 320x300, terrible 8kbit sound streams. Cellphone video cameras are upwards of 8 megapixel these days. 1080p video conferencing on a desktop is not at all an unreasonable request. Maybe we should just stop developing all types of tech once they become just bareable enough to use?
"When the government does something that The People clearly oppose, then it is not The People doing it, and it is wrong to spread the blame. These things are being and have been done by people in government who are no better than criminals. Are criminals, in fact."
So, you elect criminals, and then when they do criminal things, you pretend you didn't elect them? Whether Americans think they should be held responsible for the actions of their government is irrelevant. Your living standards are too high for your to look around and see what is being done in your name. The rest of us don't care much for your schizophrenic world view.

Wall posts, messages and facebook chat are an extremely common precursor to face to face conversation.

Ending scarcity is not likely to happen within our current economic model. Most goods are made scarce artificially to increase their value already.
Yeah, that's a joke about New York.

Real confidence is good. Most people seem to think confidence is just being a self centered asshole and talking over other people.

Survivor Man just had to survive, Grylls is moving from a drop location to an extraction point.
Except he's not a military operation. The whole wikileaks crew is probably not as armed as your average US citizen.
Worked out pretty well for silicon valley.
That will never happen. They will go for the command & control systems instead of seeking robotic attrition.
do you know what bandwidth means?
In New Zealand we've been waiting about 12 years for competition between carriers to remove caps. Still hasn't happened. Good luck with that.

Don't forget that the US uses the CIA to advance corporate interests in foreign countries. Loaning money is one of the nicer things they do.
Whatever color his skin is, he lies like a rich white man.
Yeah, works real good. No problems at all. =)

Or, you know, if your government's foreign policy wasn't so damned contemptible you wouldn't even have to that.

Lexus are built by Toyota. Of course they are designed better than Chevy's.
