    âoeWhat is hell? Hell is oneself.
    Hell is alone, the other figures in it

    Yeah, and they'll stop these with drone attacks. Welcome to the age of corporate Stalinism

    The Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel prepared a lengthy memo justifying that extraordinary step, asserting that while the Fifth Amendment's guarantee of due process applied, it could be satisfied by internal deliberations in the executive branch.

    Attorney General Eric Holder then publicly claimed: "'Due process' and 'judicial process' are not one and the same, particularly when it comes to national security. The Constitution guarantees due process, not judicial process."

    Regulators use their favouritism towards the regulated, to secure employment with those subjects at a later time - often as influencers on future, toothless and industry-biased regulation.

    This phone is a ruse, to captalise by make people think they can manage this. In other words, it is a comfort item, not an actual safety measure.

    It also works as a propaganda item. "Testing radiation levels is the new normal, it's even on my phone, see!" The management of public perception is far easier than the management of spent fuel in reactor 4.

    The real, long-term prospect for anyone living in the Fukushima shadow is too horrible to contemplate.

    The new, official story - just made public - is that the initial release from TEPCO was 2.5 X higher than was admitted at the time. If this is what they are recalcitrantly admitting to, after incontrovertible evidence, how bad is it really? After all, the utility and the government both demonstrate they cannot be trusted to prefer health and safety over saving-face.

    So? Buy a phone and whistle past the graveyard...

    Yeah. OSX, too. HA! A joke. MS spend years and many tens of millions to derail the corpulent and putrid hulk that is Adobe Flash. Instead, they manage to build a custom DRM container for NetFlix, as the sole volume partner/customer.

    Anybody else who tried walking out on this limb, wound up getting screwed, per the usual MS bait-and-wait.

    How dare individuals presume to obstruct Monsato's right to maximise monopoly corporate profits?

    The right to maximise shareholder value is a founding principal of this nation, and trumps any petty indulgence a person might have about selecting what they ingest.

    Capitalism defeated Communism, you know. That's why it's more important than the Bill of Rights that you pinkos cling to.
