No matter how devout they claim their religious beliefs in a theocracy, all governments do what they must to survive. Even the vatican has an army (thou shall not kill).
You actually think they ONLY monitor long distance? Really? If you want to catch the terrorists that are planning on blowing up the then you must monitor domestic communications to catch them HERE.
The corporations would counter by merging into a single huge company, with no wealth transfers and no taxes. A better solution is to tax all income where it's made, with all forms of income (pay, capital gains...) taxed at the same rate.
Most (all) of the problems you list are from poor quality control. If you're smoking/injecting the drug equivalent of mystery meat you've got to expect some strange side effects.
The basic principle of this is to make the software running on your desktop generic (you can use any software, like linux). So long as you have the cloud you don't need to buy/run windows. The down side is no more privacy. Because the government monitors all net traffic (and will require back doors in all cloud servers) and because the gov can't keep secrets you'll have your entire business open to the public.
Given how corporations tend to buy off government we can assume the legality of the EULA isn't a problem (to them). Therefore the only viable solution is:
1- extract the software without agreeing to the EULA,
2- reverse engineer the installer,
3- write our own installer that doesn't have an EULA.
4- profit.
What about used computers? With all the software loaded and all the EULA's already clicked? And it doesn't matter if the EULA bans that sale because YOU didn't agree to that contract.
No, the sons are the bigger problem. In a country where polygamy is normal most of the men can't have a girlfriend/wife/kids. This leads to horrible social problems (murder/rape/terrorism). You'll never calm the middle east till you ban polygamy. The middle east is exporting terrorism to the USA so I think it's a bigger issue to Americans than a small number of girls.
GM foods can't solve world hunger, no matter how much we increase food production the population will grow to match. The only limit on population is food and it will always grow to that limit. Unless you push birth control to the third world, only the USA is strongly opposed to that.
This sounds like a telex machine, they were used by ships to schedule shipping (meetings of ship and cargo). Every message would have a unique id, mobile (by ship), used to schedule meetings, meeting requests created as objects (paper), determine if sent (you get a response when sent), used an address book (a routing indicator book).
Prisoners of War (soldiers) get released at the end of the war, not these guys. Civilians get charged in a civilian court with civilian rules and lawyers, not these guys. If you want to criticize China and Iran for this sort of horror you should avoid doing it yourself.
Bandwidth per subscriber is a function of radio bandwidth (fixed) and cellphone node size. If you halve the radius of a cellphone node you x4 the bandwidth per phone. US phones are cheaper because they don't shrink their nodes.
The fight isn't about defending the homeland, it's about global political control. The USA tells Australia to sign ACTA and they do. But if China is the bigger player then Australia won't sign unless China says ok first.
Until the last election the NDP was a third party, now they form the opposition party. Things can change. "Throwing away" your vote gets noticed if many people do it, then the major parties start changing their policies to capture those lost votes.
If a private company is working for the government (agent of government) then they are covered by the same laws as the government. If it's illegal to give the government a piece of information then it's illegal to give that info to a company who's job is giving that info to the government. If a non profit is knowingly breaking the law then the board of directors are personally liable.
I would think that statistic is per serving, meaning a big mac per day for a year gives odds of 1 in 7 million or 5 deaths in California per year (approx).
The fundamental problem with American politics is you can't get elected without big bags of money. Without the corporate payoff you can't play. You solve that problem and you eliminate big business buying off your government (because politicians won't take orders from anyone if they can avoid it).
If your government is doing something horrible and illegal and you tell (and they know it was you) they will punish you. If you can do this without them knowing who told everyone then they won't punish you. If you want to live in a free country you must have anonymity.
The preponderance of evidence is against. Both protestant and catholic claim they talk with god, yet they follow different rules. Unless your god is insane or evil that can't work.

because the us patent office doesn't validate patents. they just take the money and issue numbers.
The reason we need a secular government is because mixing religion and politics always dilutes and harms religion. (and because they do crazy things).

Chipfabs lower cost by increasing density, meaning more delicate chips. Older computers (properly maintained) last much longer than new ones.

This won't affect drug prices at all, because they don't price it at cost + profit, they price it at all the market will pay.

Can the Austrian police legally give the FBI a copy of the server? Doesn't the EU have privacy laws against that?

The American government doesn't have jurisdiction, I expect the local (federal) government will get sued.
