Looking through the comments, I'm reminded again why I visit this site less and less. I think this might just be my final post here. This site is a shadow of what it was when I joined, and I came along fairly late...
Learn what an economic bubble is. When you give money to a Kickstarter project you want to support, it is a donation, not an investment. There can be no bubble, as there is no market to create an inflated value on anything.
Are you done arguing with your person version of me? This jet isn't needed, and was a waste of billions. Period. I can state that without going off on the ignorant tangent you did.
On one hand you have people that over-state the danger, and then on the other you have people like yourself that dismiss the danger outright. So much for any rational discussion.
They reported it. Just like they report what is going on now. The problem stems from the "fair and balanced" approach to news, where they report pretend these kinds of issues have "two sides". For all their reporting about Guantanamo and waterboarding, what came of it? Absolutely nothing. Gitmo is still opened, and no one will ever be prosecuted for war crimes. They did a fine job of presenting "both sides" until a segment of the American population condoned torture and other illegal activities.
Without partisan hypocrisy, it wouldn't be so easy for them to get away with it. The same people that want to impeach Obama for the patriot act and NDAA, were totally silent when Bush was in charge. Conversely many who wanted Bush impeached, now seem to just look the other way and yawn now that "their team" is in charge.
One thing I've learned from observing politics closely for 20 years is that partisans are the most hypocritical bunch on the planet, regardless of ideology. So you can claim Romney will be treated easier by the press, but the fact is that the ruling class get's it easy no matter what, as long as they play ball, and our current president (despite being called a communist) has played ball so well that wall street recovered while main street is still in a recession. I don't see Rick Santelli ranting about needing a tea party now thew Dow is over 10k again.
Wake up and smell the coffee. The press didn't give a shit when Bush was doing it, they don't give a shit now that Obama is doing it, and they won't give a shit if Romney does it. They have their orders from their parent companies who all also own defense contractors.
No one is advocating that they can inject "ANY" chemical they "desire", you half-wit. If you distrust this government so much, just leave. No one is forcing you to stay.
No, I'm certain the word I was looking for is evangelical. In the past presidential candidates did not wear their religion so proudly on their sleeve. To say that evangelicals don't advocate anything that is not mainstream is laughable, regardless of how many followers they have.
The data I have is my observation of politics for the past 20 years. The evangelicals are not going anywhere, as they represent the largest voting bloc the Republicans have. Ron Paul can turn out younger people to his rallies, but it does not translate into votes, otherwise he'd be sitting higher than 2-5% in these primaries. Rick Santorum, running as the evangelical candidate has been utterly cleaning Paul's clock state after state. The problem is that the younger generation is so turned off by social conservatism, they don't vote Republican in large enough numbers to make any sort of difference. The ones that do are the ones that sympathize with the evangelicals. Just look at this primary. It came down to the emissary for the 1%, or evangelical Santorum. I don't see the younger generation represented there at all.
What for The People's Fusion Research Kickstarter Project? Here is a crazy idea: Some people are just fine with their tax money going to fundamental research.
I tire of the tax trolls that plague this site.

But no one has any sense of giving back to the community that made their success possible, so forget it.
Special Ops training for cops?
I'm outside all the time, and have not seen this police state you're blabbing about. Do you even know WTF a police state is?
Booth was a patriot to the confederacy. That's why Americans refer to him as a terrorist. I'm not a Confederate. The "rationale" is bullshit.
I'm not sure how your family operates, but mine pays taxes. If we can pay taxes, so can multi-billion dollar companies.
It's never presented as an investment.... You are helping to support something that interests you. Nothing more, nothing less.

War mongers like you really have no shame do you?
On one hand you have people that over-state the danger, and then on the other you have people like yourself that dismiss the danger outright. So much for any rational discussion.
and have the arrogance to think you don't owe anything to anyone.
Sums up a lot of what's wrong with things, ATM.

Another fine example of why I hold right-wing libertarians in utter contempt.

I don't have to respect the opinions of dangerous idiots.
And as you see from the response to this posting, libertarians are not immune from idiocy.

How is this bullshit rated insightful?

I wonder if hands with no thumbs make a different noise when clapping.

Going from Arch Linux experience it would probably be in their repo in 50 hours, going by your 48 hour example.
