What if planes were all equipped with those new laser cannons? Laser up gets laser down, only with 10,000 times the power. Now *that* would put a stop to the problem!
You might be right. In short order, the agents will have firearms. From there it's only a matter of time before those bozos shoot somebody they shouldn't. "TSA agent kills Brad Pitt" "Agency to be closed"
This appears to be true, but that is only because we have an economy based upon credit backed money, and have had so from the beginning of the US. Read C. H. Douglas. He figured out the answer to this and many other questions a long time ago.

The answer is so trivially simple it's laughable, except, well except that once you know the answer, it's like taking the red pill, and looking at the tubes in everyone's back, including your own, is not so much fun. (In this matrix you don't get to tear them out.)
Boy, you hit the nail on the head! Ron Paul's ideas are often wrong, (the worst is his advocacy of the gold standard), but at least he has some. And at least he actually would attempt to do what he pledges to do. Comparing him to the other candidates is like looking at a feather from an angel's wing sitting on a pile of shit.
How any of you could possibly consider voting for anyone but Ron Paul boggles the mind - are you all really that blind?!
Actually, and unfortunately, the mathematics are just a bit more complicated. It's all swell to talk about reserves, but the truth is that the low hanging fruit gets picked first. What's left is, surprise, surprise, the less easy to recover stuff. Now, for "less easy to recover" substitute the words "more expensive", and you start to get an inkling of the horrible future that we are setting ourselves up for. Long before AGW becomes a significant problem, we will have a massive die off from starvation and war caused by the inexorably rising cost of energy. Our only hope, and it may already be too late, is to draft every young adult into the "Energy Corp" and blanket the land with nuclear plants. We won't do it. Thanks free-market priesthood!
Your comments about social engineering are insightful and valid. However, you might want to rethink your ideas about goods, money, and work. At this stage in our development of industrial culture, we could easily produce all the food, clothing, houses, etc, needed to provide everyone with a pretty comfortable lifestyle, and we could do that with only a small minority of our population working. Let those who want to work, work. Let the rest fool around and do whatever they want. After a while most people would work a small number of hours each week - the rest would not work or continue there workaholic ways. The reasons that my concepts here presented seem impracticable or wrong were programmed *into you* by other social engineering. Check the link behind my sig to learn more.
>> Your new employer will appreciate your loyalty, too, when you explain to them how you still need to help your old company out.
Caution! I have had this backfire on me horribly. Better to cut the knot cleanly. The new employer is not hiring a consultant with other clients. They are hiring an employee, and I have seen what can happen when they suddenly, despite full information going in, decide that they didn't get what they thought they were getting.
I was accused of being a spy for my former employer, and fired on the spot.
But the point is that this is how managers think. Recognizing that this attitude exists among managers is a key factor in the poster making the best decision.
"Metal coated bags" don't always work. I sometimes put my cell phone in a metal box. Imagine my surprise the first time my phone rang while in the box.
Well, actually white, adult, male landowners used to live in a pretty great country. The rest of us have always been under the gun one way or another. The only difference is that now all of us are under the gun.
Do you lames really think that this was the *first* time this has been done??? How about this being the first time "our" government has bragged about doing it? That's more like it.
>> Perhaps it is time for the Republicans to back away from their objection to everything and roadblock generation, and get down to the business of governing.
Why? Assholes keep voting for them. Oops did I say "assholes"? I meant *stupid* assholes.
Counter-intuitive as fuck, but not as bad as you describe.
I went to the site. Filled out the register form. Got an email. Pasted the link. Got an "Under Construction" page (complete with quaint photo *rolls eyes*). Went back to the original site and the button was now live. Go figure, but I am no. 242 (and on some fucked up list for sure:eek:)
Agreed. I don't (hardly) do any of that. If I want to listen to music, I go to a live show. Fuck recorded music. Movies: maybe 2 or 3 a year. TV? Oh god no! My mind is devolving fast enough solely due to the passage of time. If I want to get creative, I write software for private distribution - no worries about patent violations, what? Are *my users* going to turn me in?:) Lately I've been gearing up to start building custom cars. Nobody's going to fuck with you on that either. There's lots of stuff to do that crosses no mafia lines.
This, like so many other things in the modern world, is so bleedingly obvious I am going to die young of emotional horror. Automobile liability insurance should be purchase by the state from funds collected by a surcharge at the gas pump. Just like health insurance should be provided by the state from funds collected by the tax man. Yes that is socialized medicine. What other kind is there????
Bet: you are female (hedge: or a gay male). Right, fangirl? Meg has no clue how flawed eBay's operations are. eBay could have passed up Walmart a long time ago as the largest company on the planet, IF they had had competent leadership. They didn't and don't. But the worst part is that Meg is the sort of person who "leverages" power to get away with ignoring that power's harm to less powerful entities. Fuck her!
Look! It's not about global warming at all! The noise is deliberately promoted to cover the truth: if we don't start, very fucking soon!, to build every conceivable form of non-carbon fuel energy production, in other words, nuclear, solar, and wind power plants, and in a very big way, we are headed into a very grim future. Mass starvation, followed by world war like nothing this planet has ever seen. This "energy crunch" will happen way before our carbon forcing has any effect. Clue up people!!!
And for you worshipers of the "free market" this situation is a perfect example of how blind allegiance to the invisible hand can lead you into a very dead end. Our only hope is that the govt. for once does the right thing and forces us to spend the money to build these plants despite the fact that they will never compete with fossil fuel energy. Once they are built, though, eventually the marginal cost of their energy will be thousands of times less then that of fossil fuels. On the other hand, if we wait until that situation obtains *before* commencing their construction, it will be way too late. Way too late.
Because, Mary Fucking Poppins, that is not how the world works. Many pigs have their blood spattered hands in the drug war money bucket, and they will kill you before allowing anything even close to your fantasy to come true. Oh look! A unicorn!

Or, hey!, if we just stopped arguing over stupid shit, and started to work together for the benefit of all of us, why then we could get busy and build the tubes that would eliminate most air travel. http://www.popsci.com/scitech/article/2004-04/trans-atlantic-maglev
Yeah right...

Blah, blah, blah. Forrest and trees, people!
The question is not how to predict bubbles, but how to *eliminate* them! C. H. Douglas had this all figured out a long time ago. Read!
>> loans are crucial to a functioning economy
This appears to be true, but that is only because we have an economy based upon credit backed money, and have had so from the beginning of the US. Read C. H. Douglas. He figured out the answer to this and many other questions a long time ago.

Anyway. Read this: http://douglassocialcredit.com/resources/resources/social_credit_by_ch_douglas.pdf If economics was not so corrupt, C. H. Douglas would now be regarded as the Einstein of economics.
To really understand economics you need to study C. H. Douglas. That guy had it all figured out in 1924.
