Iraq was better off with saddam than it is now.
Saddam was bad and we could have made iraq great. But no, we had to shoot ourselves in the foot by fucking it up.
We screwed up, game over. Time to cut our losses and get out before we lose any more troops in what is clearly a civil war.
Taking into account how much of the inverse square attenuated radiation was actually available for the radio to absorb would be a better measure of efficiency.
The earth receives but a minute teensy fraction of all the solar output the sun gives off in total...and it's still a big fat can of whoop ass.
You need a friggin strong transmitter to overcome inverse square over any appreciable distance unles s you aim.
You still have an inverse square relationship based on how close you are to the discharge point.
For a wire, the cross section is constant. For earth, it's friggin huge but starts out teeny, so presumably the area getting the energy pulled into it will need to be protected.
I might not approve of a riot, but then again I wouldn't exactly be a fan of big government suppressing the protests with deadly force.
If I knew the elections were fair and square, or indeed even if I didn't give a shit either way, I'd have to be pretty damned arrogant to be so ruthless.
I have nothing but sympathy for the victims in both cases, and I highly disapprove of violent repression that is COMMON to both.

That's the reason it won't work.
It should be done randomly so that it doesn't just get written off.
Then we never know if you really did post first, and we thus won't care.
High carb isn't the problem, low fiber is.
Even end user monkeys that don't do squat for development are contributing just the same.
Ever heard of beta testing? Bug reports? Performance reviews?
I dunno, the RIAA seems to be doing lucratively that way...
Do the customers get their money back?

If you make your own ringtone, then in theory you are an artist and you are bound by the same laws regarding derivative works as everyone else.
Human nature is inherently corrupt. If it weren't why would we even need government in the first place?
As long as we depend upon people to run the government, there will always be problems.
Capacity for delusion is only a problem because of scoundrels looking to make a dishonest dollar by exploiting said capacity.
Which is exactly why it WON'T happen.
There are big industries making obscene profits due to hemp being outlawed. You think for one second they'll let it be legalized without a huge fight?
Any politician who so much as suggested it would be committing political suicide.
The reason it's illegal is because the paper lobby greased some palms.
Much like big media did to get ACTA put under a classification wrap. I'll bet that some bigwigs in hollywood have a few "need to know" clearances.

Well windmills do crank out lots of carby flour...
The amount sapped from sheer friction with the ground will make the "turbine tax" negligible.
Not to mention that wind energy is constantly refreshed by solar input.
Random assholes will exploit any situation to the maximum detriment of the innocent. That is what makes them assholes.
Presumably the place that sold the ringtone to you gave you a license in the first place.
Would these gay geeks happen to be furries?

So I get to stay on your lawn this time?

Seriously though, we need some federal judges with a security clearance beefy enough to see this "national security" bullshit for what it really is.
Appearances really don't matter when you're ready to silence opposition with deadly force.
This is a nation wide tiananmen square.
