I'd rather the corporate globalists weren't jacking us and the U.S. had remained a small limited republic as intended by the founding fathers so going out in the street wasn't necessary in the first place. You think they are going to listen to the voters? Hah, voting in a Dem Congress last year accomplished a boatload of nothing.
Using the military to enforce the countries laws is a blatant violation of the Posse Comitatus act.
"The whole text of the relevant legislation is as follows:
Sec. 1385. - Use of Army and Air Force as posse comitatus
"Whoever, except in cases and under circumstances expressly authorized by the Constitution or Act of Congress, willfully uses any part of the Army or the Air Force as a posse comitatus or otherwise to execute the laws shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than two years, or both"."
Instead of "native"working people and immigrants fighting we should unite against the corporations who use our fighting and the threat of off shoring to drive wages ever farther down to the point that probably 30% of jobs in the U.S. don't pay a living wage no matter where you are from. THINK people before you react.
I do truly think this is sad news. The same old fantasy/war adventures set in canned worlds are not as liberating for the human soul as unique music is, whether it be Beethoven, Public Enemy, or Bjork. Well done music is a window into a unique world view, what do I know about the creators of WOW or Doom 4 after playing? Answer is nothing. And no this isn't a Luddite rant I think the internet has brought many positive advancements to humanity, I really like my 20 inch widescreen lcd, ipod, digital camera, advancements in medicine, etc. Video games on the whole however do not IMO help advance humanity. Note that I don't think they should be banned or regulated just ignored like the overly hyped iPhone ought to be ignored.
Feel free to flame away BTW my karma can take a few hits now and then and survive quite nicely.:) Yep old fart over 40 here, deal.
Did you read ANYTHING I posted? Oh that's right Rethugagain troglodytes are against reading, evolution, and education. Hint it's not lefty radicals pushing "creation science" or trying to slash school budgets.
We have been interfering with some other governments business just about EVERY single year since the U.S.founded, that is why "they" hate us. Note that this is entirely against the founding principles of the American republic which were isolationist in nature. Try reading A People History of the U.S. by Howard Zinn and Gore Vidal's perpetual War for Perpetual Peace to see just how "good" we are. Good at propaganda which an American Edward Bernays (Freud's nephew) invented that is...
If you aren't afraid of a soldering gun (and you ought not to be if you are going to run a radio station, deal with the FCC etc) here is a link to Stephen Dunifer's web site in Berkeley that will show you how to build a radio station with the same capabilities for about 1/4th that 4000 dollar price.
Very insightful alas this discussion is weeks old and I have no mod points but you deserve a +5 for saying what no one else had the nerve to say that corporate greed is actively enabling communist censorship here. Double plus bad.:(
As an active flickr participant I can testify that Yahoo is very willingt o engage in Censorship on behalf of any country if it's bottom line is threatened by not censoring. And no it doesn't have to be that way Zoomr for example has a clear and unabiguious anti censorship principle and I'd move there in a second if I didn't have hundreds of photos with over 10,000 views, didn't admin 3 groups one with over a thousand members and over 10,000 photos, sigh. Fuck censorship!
4000!!!!??? I am sure if you go to that pirate radio site in Berkly you could get schematics for the same radio and parts for less than 400. I agree about the reaching people without computers.
Yeah Fascism is real humanistic wasn't Mussolini nominated for a Human Rights Watch man of the year award right before that enraged mob hung him from a pole for ruining Italy?
I do know what you mean, I'd certainly never claim the Greens were perfect and I have enough Libertarian type sympathies and just general orneriness to be not much of a party follower myself, I just thought you might be interested in the Greens from had stated if you hadn't heard of them before. Obviously you had, my bad.:)
A states rights leftist is in essence a Green Party member. The Greens believe in lefty positions like pro environment, pro choice, pro health care for the poor, but done in a decentralized fashion check out the ten key values of Green Party platform if you are not familiar with it already:
Of course the Greens tend to be poorly organized, poor at media outreach, and unfairly slandered when they do get media coverage but this point anything is better than an interventionist anti COnstitution neo-con Republican or a Caveinacrat, so check them out if you are not already familiar with them.
You are talking out of your ass, I just dealt with this problem with an HP Wide screen monitor that used a poor dithering algorithm it created severe and obvious banding problems where there were any subtle color transition to the point where is it was impossible to edit my photos and I had to return it.
Cheap TN film LCD screens that display 6 bits of color information per RGB channel are not adequate for graphic design work. If you don't believe me go to a big box store and look at a photo on a cheap LCD screen, then look at background out of focus areas, the cheap screens with bad dithering WILL have bands that make it impossible to see detail, they will also have over saturated colors, and blown out highlights. That may be find for an 3lite gaming 13 year old who also loves a giant sub woofer, but it's not even in the ball park for professional design work. I'd be pissed if I paid over a thousand bucks for a MacBook and it had obvious dithering patterns.
And I am typing on a dual G5 tower here so not hating on Apple in general but in this case they failed and badly.
