Get this straight. MLK was not a "fee-good, let's all respect each other" civil-rights version of Barney the dinosaur.
He was mobilising and uniting the underprivileged, black and white, in ways that were threatening to the war-mongering coproratist kleptocrats. They didn't kill him 'cos he wanted people to drink from the same fountain.
Now, they are killing him with artificial praise. It's like the moneylenders in the Temple, now selling "Jesus Slept Here" t-shirts.
The precedent for these "laws" were set by the so-called "war on drugs".
When a few people claimed that that this was the first step on a slippery slope towards fascism, they were decried as shrill, bleeding-hearts. The mainstream-media equivalent of being "Godwinned" into humiliation or silence.
That's OK. Keep this going and - of course - there will be no American market to afford such things. Big business has already planned thing along these lines, for some time now.
There are new, Asian middle-classes to exploit, for a couple of decades. It's called "Corporate Crop Rotation". It keeps populations insecure and dependent, rather than empowered and questioning.
But forget about technology making things cheaper for the consumer. Technology is now simply a way to streamline the ability of peripheral entities to extract new rents, while lowering the actual "service" they "provide".
The payment of a transaction USED to be between you, the payee, and a penny-slice for the bank.
If the service-providers are salivating enough to "Bet Big"? You will take a haircut.
With an Internet like this? Give me back USENET and a 14.4K modem. It really was that much better a way to live.
Our grandchildren will still be be dealing with their sadly deformed children, long after the BP Deepwater Horizon and TEPCO Fukushima disasters get "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED" stamped on them in the corporate-pwn3d, crony-stooge media.
Of course, if this is pointed out? The messenger will be compared to those who insist the world is flat, and that Apollo never landed on the moon.
Since we are in Permanent Campaign Mode, let's talk about it. The winner of the 2012 Presidential election will do all of the following:
- Continue the occupation of Afghanistan
- Drop bombs on at least one Muslim country
- Send predator drones and special forces to several more Muslim countries
- Incarcerate dark-skinned people for buying and/or selling the wrong kind of plant
- Subsidize agribusiness
- Shield banksters from consequences for their actions
- Increase the national debt
The winner of the election is perfectly capable of doing these things without my vote. Consequently, if I vote in the Presidential elections, I'll vote for either Gary Johnson or Ron Paul in the primary

Do you even investigate your opinions? You sound "tased and confused". Obama has funnelled more public funds into RICH, private pockets than Bush could have ever achieved.
Just one REGULATORY - not statutory - example:
The largest transfer of wealth from the public to private sector is about to begin. The federal government will be bulk-selling the massive portfolio of foreclosed homes now owned by HUD, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to private investors -- vulture funds.
These homes, which are now the property of the U.S. government, the U.S. taxpayer, U.S. citizens collectively, are going to be sold to private investor conglomerates at extraordinarily large discounts to real value.
So, while Bushie turned these INTO US Government assets, via TARP and other 2008 bailouts, Bamie will now sacrifice those already dubious "investments," to make more geld for Goldmann.
I have to say. If you liked Bush, then it follows that Obama ought to be making you fill your trousers with white, gooey geysers.
Richard Nixonâ(TM)s White House Counsel John Dean, while Bush was president, predicted that Bushâ(TM)s successor would be one of two things, either the best or the worst president in history. He, or she, would either undo the damage and prosecute the crimes, or protect the criminals and continue the abuses. Obama has protected the criminals, continued many of the abuses, more firmly established the power to commit those abuses, and expanded abusive powers beyond what Bush ever attempted. Iâ(TM)m not trying to quantify and determine whether Obama has grabbed âoemoreâ new abusive powers than Bush did. Iâ(TM)m simply pointing out that, as with previous presidents, Obama has retained the powers bequeathed him and added some.
Although policies being implemented under Obama's leadership exhibit the continuation of Bush's tyrannical agenda, his stunning betrayal of populist and Constitutional principles in support of these actions makes him the ultimate hypocrite. Additionally, because Obama is a much more influential orator than Bush, his service to the puppet masters is far more dangerous to the American people he's supposed to serve.
Next yearâ(TM)s presidential campaign is predicted to cost a billion dollars, which Obama has already started raising from the financial industry and other interest groups. He faces no progressive or moderate opposition at all, with the only question to be resolved that of exactly how extreme his Republican opponent will be.

The group building the memorial are PISSING on King's grave.
Harry E. Johnson Sr., president of the foundation, made $265,085 in 2008.
They built the "memorial" with uncompensated (read "slave") labour from China.

Exactly my point.

To whom. Under what circumstance?
Import tariffs were the principal source of US Federal revenues until the early 20th century. These were supplanted by Fiat Currency and Income Taxes.
Income was replaced by DEBT.
But, you'd rather be a slave in Nike's with a Samsung TV, than free?
That's OK. Keep this going and - of course - there will be no American market to afford such things. Big business has already planned thing along these lines, for some time now.

Meanwhile, we can play on ANYTHING!

No.

I still use this card for dual- head support on my P100.
Maybe the resources freed by the team can be used in providing support for Elite/Impact framebuffers on classic SGI Indigo?
I will consider that an exchange worth making.

I think they'd lay waste to countries that wanted to retrieve it!
That is, if you assume a diamond has value because of it's rarity when found without flaws, above certain sizes...
