    Silicon Valley "Vultures", given their ultra intellect, should know better than anyone that can't sustain a viable economy without people who have money to spend on their services.

    ...everything they need to do their. jobs.

  3. It is the drone owners who are forcing this on all of us, so the costs should be totally placed on them with licensing fees and fines for violating property and privacy rights. Really, none of this would be necessary if drone operators would just fly under the conditions you specify. So many though seem to think that they are entitled to fly their toys wherever they like.

  4. Companies can fire people for such absurd behavior, regular homeowners can not.

    Which is why in many jurisdictions owners of unlicensed dogs are fined many times more when there animals are out of control than owners of those that are licensed. This idea that idiots can fly their drones wherever they want really needs to be nipped in the bud now. And, from the gist of the comments here, the punishments for violations should be extremely harsh if their attitude of entitlement to the skies is to be curtailed.

  8. How does it benefit you not to have regulations that prevent devices from buzzing about over your head? In my mind there should be no weight minimums. I simply do not want these things flying around without well enforced rules.

    No, it is not madness. The overriding goal of business is to make money, and producing products at a lower cost does much to further that goal. Combine this with the overriding goal of consumers, which is to acquire the products that they want at the lowest price possible and you get the race to the bottom others in this thread have discussed. Only regulation can protect prices and wages. I hold internet access up as a shining example of this. If it weren't for government intervention we would be paying pennies and not dollars to participate in this debate.

    Free markets work by encouraging competition. It makes no sense for companies to pay exuberant salaries to U.S. workers when similar results can be had for far less by outsourcing to countries whose citizens expect a standard of living far more meager than Americans. The Prophets promise to trickle upon those who worship at their alters.

  14. ...are going to mourn the loss of those who hate them. My understanding, which may be wrong, is that fundamentalists of every religion hate all those who don't follow their beliefs. I can't recall any religion that proclaims that no matter what you believe, I expect you to get past the pearly gates.

    I can assure you aren't missing much when it comes to TV. The advertisers got so upset with their commercials being interrupted by programming they decided to popup ads during the shows that were drawing the viewers as well.
