Sorry to see Ron Paul go. I thought his libertarian views were just what the Republican party needed, and perhaps what the Democrats needed. His particular strong views on the how to help the U.S. Dollar, inflation, our economy and the necessity to protect us from "warmongers" needs to carry-on in both the Republican and Democratic parties. Sorry to see ya go, Ron. We hardly knew ya.
-----------"Very, very few rich people are genuine philanthropists."
Why so cynical? There are many genuine philanthropists in this world and they certainly don't set up their foundations solely for the purpose of tax write-offs and providing as you say "cash cows." As Zig Ziglar put it, "I've been rich, and I've been poor. And frankly, it's better to be rich." Why, because you can help folks when you're rich. Me thinks, you think the rich are not genuine in their philanthropic endeavors. I beg to differ.
In Bruce Schneier's keynote address at Linux.conf.au, he essentially admonishes that "security theater" is not only a necessity, it's a critical component that needs to accompany real security solutions. In the article, he states
the best security solution will fail if it doesn't cater to both the reality and perceptions to do with security. He's affirming that sales in the marketplace will be driven when security theater and real security products are matched. That's when end-users will also experience a real sense of security.
