It is a sign of the decay of society that this is becoming more true. Now we have a nearly zero correlation between the two. We are even now beginning to see *negative* correlations between "illegal" and unethical.
No.
The document should have never been secret.
We supposedly live in a democratic society. We pat ourselves on the back at how incredibly enlightened we are for being this way.
But then we hide EVERYTHING from the voters.
Tell me, fellow nerds: If the voters have no access to the info, then how does it help that they are voting? Why not just put on blindfolds while voting?
Government secrecy is fundamentally incompatible with democratic elections.
Terrorists have killed people in the US this year. Last year it was . The year before it was . The year before that it was .
In the entire history of civilization, terrorists have killed less people than the US killed in the bombing of Hiroshima.
Can somebody please tell me why we have to turn our society upsidedown to deal with this issue?
If our governments just leave the rest of the world the fuck alone... Or is that too Washingtonian/Jeffersonian for you fucks in Congress?

According to the constitution, patents are only alowed in order to encourage "science and the useful arts". How granting corporations the right to fuck over other coproprations who came up with rather ordinary improvements on the "art" at nearly the same time helps improve the "uesful arts" is someting for head-up-their-ass lawyers to ponder. Because in the end of the day it doesn't matter in the USA anymore if you're right. IT doesn't matter if you have actually come up with womething new. If'you've bought youreself the best lawyer end/or congressman then you can pretty much do what you want.
Honestly, is anyone even surprised that airport security is so boneheaded? These ex-con-hiring, power-mad, politiceized bureaucrats can't tell a threat from a 90 year old grandmother with knitting needles. Since there really aren't any threats, but they're shure that there must be some (since a lot of other g-men said that there are constant threats), this makes them even more confused and delusional.
Of course, since they're with the g-men, then they can't have been wrong. It is all the fault of the person who wore a shirt which confused their addled criminal minds.
Oceania has always been at war with East Asia. Take your soma. Nothing to see here...
