The merging of corporate and state power is fascism. This is exactly what we see in China today. Mod that down if you will, but words have meaning, and Jonah Goldberg doesn't get to redefine "fascism" to mean "left wing".
This was literally a cover up. Dump toxic chemicals on top of the oil slick, so it would sink, thus avoiding the PR disaster that came with a beach landing of oil slicks.
So they traded the beach for the sea floor, and most Americans promptly went back to bed, or down to the beach to let their kids swim.
We're already running a largely for-profit prison system in this country. Forgive me if I don't trust that sort of system with "organ donations". There is already too high of an incentive to jail people for non-violent drug related crimes as it is.
Millions of people wish that their biggest worry was having too many photos snapped of them. Celebrities need to get over it. They became famous, deal with it. Assaulting people, and damaging private property isn't acceptable.
Damaging private property is against the law, period. If these assholes hate their job so much they should quit. If the photographer took Brand's phone from him, do you suppose nothing would happen? I doubt it.
You know damn well if we were trying to set up a public library system in America today, it would never be allowed. Corporate power doesn't give a shit about the culture of a nation, only the bottom line.
Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
If they were leaving them intact, then the tax whiners would crawl out to complain about NASA wasting money by not reusing their equipment.
Sometimes it really is okay to tell the military NO. But this will be green lit without debate, because to debate matters of military spending is unpatriotic.

I knew that there would be more people whining about tax money here, than the violations of the man's rights.

Or as it was once called: Fascist.
I'm talkin' progress, baby!
If you were going for a good impression of Dennis Hopper's character in Waterworld, great job!

And your lame nerd bashing AC post is yet more proof that /. is becoming a mere shadow of its former self.

It's great reading the pro-communism capitalists rush to defend China, because they hate the current president.

Because scum bags like AT&T won't fund it themselves.
Considering they give the Mozilla foundation a huge chunk of money every year, wouldn't that be like suing themselves?

I'm sure that money all had to be funneled to defense projects.

but when I do, I buy the CD and make my own flac set from it. Then I can re-encode that to mp3 for portability, etc.
That WHOOSH sound you just heard is the sonic boom left in the wake of a fleet of super sonic jets that just flew right over your head.
This is a... Is this a week day?
Don't worry, I've been told that the free market will fund it!
Damned if you do, damned if you don't. If they were leaving them intact, then the tax whiners would crawl out to complain about NASA wasting money by not reusing their equipment.
Go arrest some real criminals, and stop wasting time, money, and lives.
/. Where fantasies about shooting people who steal your ipad get modded "insightful".
Your post is a fine example of why you get called a "gun nut", in case you were ever wondering.
