Or you give a damn about civil liberties. Ron Paul's a fiscal libertarian but not a civil libertarian. He's still a Bible-thumping social conservative by all appearances.
Yep, sorry to tell you this direct-democracy haters, but if it isn't a "tyranny of the majority" then you've got a system that allows you to be tyrannized by the only alternative group...
Canada isn't big on propaganda and would have little to nothing to gain from it. I think the US or Israel would have more interest, and Israel clearly gives no fucks about conducting operations inside Iran, so if they can save the guy's life and turn him into an anti-Iranian mascot for freedom I say go ahead.
True. He was offered the chance to become King of America, but because the US got so damn lucky with George Washington, he said no. That's how close the US came to becoming a dictatorship.
But, but, what about Big Green, that dangerous industrial complex that has such unfair, UNFAIR! influence despite the fact that they're a mere cottage industry compared to the fossil fuel industry?
it's the wife of a fellow in the Koch Foundation. The Heartland Institute's biggest donor.
The Koch foundation is not Heartland's biggest donor, not by a long shot. That would be The Anonymous Donor who donated $1.6m the year after the Koch bros. donated only $200k.
A few times I've seen machines in US truck stops and tourist traps (I'm pretty sure I've seen a few in Canada as well) that press pennies into novelty coins. Aren't these illegal?
That was my first thought. You'd have the excavator pulling the dump truck onto its side, and the backhoe trying to dump dirt as far from the work site as possible within the first minute of going online.
Yeah, the only weakness Ghostery has is that it relies on an updated blacklist. With a whitelist policy you can be 100% sure all trackers will be blocked, but it would break half the websites out there that get their images from CDNs etc.
Yep I use Ghostery and block all the known tracking services. Using a whitelist system like RequestPolicy would be technically better but it would be a massive PITA to browse that way.

Tribler? Looks like it would make a good P2P replacement for Youtube, but the future of file sharing in general is in torrents over I2P.

Hey if you can patent the bird's DNA then why not copyright it's songs? ASCAP will have a field day...
IMO child rape is worse than bad working conditions.
Forget that, what crazy-ass world does this guy live in where your Internet connection is faster than local disk access!?!?
That's like saying there's nothing wrong with drum brakes because your Cadillac Cimarron has them.
Really? Says here they gave $200k in 2011:

Forget that, do you know how much oil & tobacco industry semen is in those stomachs? x_x
Spreading light FUD discredits the documents, outright denial would seem more like an admission of guilt.

If only there were a way to encrypt attachments, or ideally an entire email!
Oh that's a very bad line of thinking. When tech makes something cheaper and easier you definitely should re-examine the rules.
That was my first thought when I first read this story on another site.

He should've put a jackhammer attachment on the excavator to do the ground-breaking :-P
Yeah I bet he's disappointed now that it's done.
