I have an idea. Unfortuantely, I do not know too much about search engine mechanics and how I would go about programming this. But hear me out:
So we're trusting private corporations with information. Private corporations that can have their own adgendas or other influences. Whether or not their connections with BushCorp are true, we have been placing too much trust on one "person," who can very easily abuse that trust.
However, one cannot simply ignore the service we trust them with: without search engines, the internet would be much harder to use for finding useful information.
Peer-2-Peer applications may come in handy. If we relied on a user-driven network instead of one that was privately owned, information would not be restricted. An individual could run spiders which would search for information they are interested in, and would also share any information found with the rest of the network. They could also add links to sites they favor/host, contributing to the network (or possibly spamming it, as my experience with searching gnutella will prove).
So that's my idea. An open-source (to ensure freedom) peer-to-peer search engine.
It's like that on paper. In practice it's much more different.
America is a representative democracy, not a pure republic. So we vote people into various offices to care about issues so we don't need to. After we vote the guy into office, nothing short of outbribing will change their mind.
All we can actually do is vote the next president in. My vote is definitely !Bush.
They have done movies before. In 1963, the movie "The Manturian Candidate" was pulled from theatres shortly after the JFK asassination. Reason? It made proud, proud America look weak compared to the Soviets.

Laminate your card each time before use.
More like GPS coordinates.
(From contest site)
Base Camp GPS Coordinates: N36 39.646, W114 55.394
Field Site GPS Coordinates: N37 09.910, W115 00.618
I don't think GPS coordinates would work with a^2 + b^2 = c^2. Any idea on how to do it?
"for the people and by the people." Riiight.
