"No wait. I changed my mind. Destroy your copies! If you give away one of your photocopies, I will have you convicted for trafficking stolen property."
Do you see how stupid this is? Even a Lawyer would be able to understand.
"Ah - now, that's our speciality - covered with darkest creamy chocolate. When you pop it in your mouth steel bolts spring out and plunge straight through-both cheeks."
Since 2005, for example, the foundation held investments totaling $189 million in four large chocolate makers: $146 million in Archer Daniels Midland; $26 million in Nestle; $12 million in Cadbury Schweppes, the world's largest confectionary maker; and $5 million in Kraft Foods.
All four companies publicly support sustainable cocoa farming, responsible pesticide use and nonabusive labor practices. All participate in the International Cocoa Initiative to keep production environmentally safe and free of child labor.
Nonetheless, all four firms buy much of their cocoa from West Africa, where 70 percent of the world's cocoa is grown. A 2002 report by the International Institute for Tropical Agriculture at the U.S. Agency for International Development said 284,000 children in West Africa, many younger than 14 years old, worked in the cocoa industry under hazardous conditions. They included 200,000 children in Ivory Coast, the world's top cocoa producer.
"Countless numbers of children have been trafficked to slave on Cote d'Ivoire's many cocoa plantations," according to a U.S. State Department report.
The U.S. Labor Department said: "Children working as forced labor on these farms describe being deceived, coerced and threatened by adult intermediaries and employers; working between 10-20 hours per day with few or no breaks under hazardous conditions; and being confined to locked rooms at night."
In 2005, the International Labor Rights Fund sued Nestle, Archer Daniels Midland and another chocolate producer in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles on behalf of three children from Mali who said they were taken from their homes and brought to Ivory Coast as slaves.
The lawsuit, filed for "thousands" of children who allegedly suffered the same fate, said the companies failed to use their power to control suppliers.
The companies denied any liability. The lawsuit is pending.
I thought the liberal/conservative axis of political discourse was of relatively modern derivation. Now I am told it is assigned to the highest of human qualities, extending back to the emergence of the species!
Meanwhile, I declare victory to the doctrine of 'Separation of Powers' I declare victory to the distracting sideshow - so you can get your pocket picked while figuring out which moving card is the ace.
The electorate has almost no access to information about candidates that is unmediated by corporations with a horse in the race.
The narrow palate of "electable" candidates is not produced by a process in which 'the people' are in any way involved.
"Which of these mandated monopolies do you select?" is the way it's done here.
Political parties should be abolished, and the judicial decisions that equate corporations as persons AND those that equate spending to speech should be reversed. Then you'll have a beginning. Dream on.:-)
I really dislike Ron Paul - for a number of reasons. But if elections were "free and fair", it's pretty clear he'd be the next President of the United States. But He's not been to the Bilderberger meetings. He's not a part of the CFR / Round Table cabal. He's not an agent for private banks. He'll never get as far as Ross Perot.

"The AP reports that the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has invoked executive privilege to justify withholding information in its response to a lawsuit.

This guy embedded the terms of GPL and/or uRLs to the FSF in comments at the top of every file - even headers and READMEs.
This is pretty enthusiastic.
It's obvious he just got a job at Motorola or Microsoft - now he's drinking Kool-Aid.
Thanks for the helmet! Before wearing this, I forgot you couldn't revoke the GPL!
Do you even know what you're talking about?
"Here I gave this away. Everybody photocopy it."

The Gates Foundation, which awards much of its money to help children, has benefited from a $2.1 billion stake in companies cited by the services that analyze corporate conduct because the companies have been accused of violating human rights, including the rights of children.
Since 2005, for example, the foundation held investments totaling $189 million in four large chocolate makers: $146 million in Archer Daniels Midland; $26 million in Nestle; $12 million in Cadbury Schweppes, the world's largest confectionary maker; and $5 million in Kraft Foods.

Microsoft released ME Squared.
Vista is itself a horrible flaw - one for Microsoft itself.
Capitalism 2.0? Capitalism Rebooted?
Nah.
White Man's Burden.
JE "Journal Entry" ;-)
No prob. I'm actually a realistic optimist!
My point is that ANYONE elected to the office will be someone's favorite face on the fascist machine.
If RP could change that, he'd already be swapping stories with RFK.
A: Sin in this world. Your reward is waiting in the next.

p.s.: Ron Paul for the friendly face of bank/state fascism!
Doing good for people is "Liberal"? My word!

I thought you said "Vomiting machine!"
Hey, Guys! I want some help too!
Do we have open-source Tasers? I'm also after open-source software to rig voting machines.
I look in freshmeat and SourceForge - but they mostly seem to be oriented to freeing people, not locking 'em up.
About 3-4 of us have been JE'ing this for 3 years.
I have an X300.
But it's racing green. 12 cylinders. Made by Jaguar.
This is MY tinfoil hat.
There are many like it, but this one is MINE!

KSM was a looney, who admitted to being the man in the moon, once sufficiently tortured.
If justice as persons is not universal, it is a fiction.
We have issued propaganda, that validates the production of our propaganda!
Now, "this is your rifle..."
