Of course pointing at the problem and solving it are completely different tasks.
What fool proof identification system do you propose?
I've always figured going with all three identifying items.
1) Something you have. (IE the credit card) 2) Something you know. (IE the PIN number) 3) Something you are. (IE fingerprint, retina scan, DNA, etc)
1 & 2 can easily enough be changed or updated if a breach happens, 3 is something you can always have verified by some kind of identification authority.
Which is why I said specifically beyond insuring that it wont kill you there is nothing for the FDA to do. Fraud is all ready illegal. If you have been duped, call the police, if they don't do anything sue.
Granted the actual democracy pretty much sucks, and I don't think ANYONE wants the FDA in its current form, but the solution isn't to abolish them. And even if we got rid of them, we'd likely just create another one shortly thereafter. Its what the majority wants.
And this would play exactly to my plan. There would no longer be full time federal government employees. They would all be on mid-term contract 1-2 years with no option to renew, until after 50% of the time has passed, into the same position. All government programs would have a sunset clause. Each year a program will be required to go back to vote with an increase of 1% per year. (simple majority to start 51% after first year, 60% after 10 years etc... up to ~90%) It should be obvious after a program has been running that it is doing well as intended otherwise it needs to be removed and rebuilt from scratch and entirely new people.
no, it's what made it what it was. It has become some kind of Socialist playground since WWII. Have a vote, "We need money if you give up just 2% of your wages we can win the war." Now it's 33%. Obama wants 50+% Why even bother with a job, at some point I'll just wait for the government to assign me my tasks and provide me my daily rations.
Solution: first repeal the gun ban in Mexico, implement something closer to what we have in the US. Of course not quite as restrictive as it's pretty lame in some places here too. Weed out the crazies and felons the best you can but make sure everyone else also has a gun.
Like them or hate them they are the great equalizer. make sure most citizens have a gun and kidnappings will go down to almost zero. Kidnapper related gun deaths may go up for a little while though.
but it is also not the governments responsibility to police labeling. current laws are already in place to say that labels must be correct. It is up to the buyer to to decided whether or not they are being duped.
If it was Italian food yes, greek food maybe, but do you think a New Yorker has no rights bragging about Pizza? Much of the American version of Sushi originated in California, and yes the American Sushi bar are about as Japanese as Pizza is Italian.
No, the food and drug administration should do the least possible to insure that food and drugs wont kill you. Everything else is advertisement and buyer beware. If you order to both maintain a free market and keep from being crushed under even more government control.
Unfortunately, we're not cool enough to run on your OS yet. We really wish we had a version of Photosynth that worked cross platform, but for now it only runs on Windows.
Trust us, as soon as we have a Mac version ready, it will be up and available on our site.
well then it's like meeting and arranging to have sex with a minor on the internet then drive your car there and find out it was actually a sting operation.
Scientist trying to get funding: "We have to fear global cooling!! or we'll be into another ice age." Politician: "Hmm this guy may have something give him $100million" Sane scientist: "psst, we're not really cooling it was just a strange spike. We may start warming."
Scientist trying to get funding: "We have to fear global warming!! or we'll all be burned to death in firey hell." Politician: "Hmm this guy may have something give him another $200million" Sane Scientist: "psst, what if something changes and we get a cold spike again?"
Scientist trying to get funding: "We need to fear global Cliamte change!! or everything will be different than it is now." (eye's around to see who might still give him money.) Politician: "Hmm this guy may have something give him another $50million" Sane Scientist: "2008 is the coldest year this century and things will probably stay about the same for at least another decade."
Scientist trying to get funding: "Well, hmm, We must fear global weather stabilization, or something bad might happen!!" Politician: "Hmm this guy's a wack job and he's gotten how much money from us?" Scientist trying to get funding: "Ummm, Ozone? does that one still work?"

Yea you might run into your grandfather doing the same thing.
Ugh...

Ummm, yea. Except it's called civil court.
How many countries with nukes have been invade lately? Ever?
You may have a good idea there.
Ever stop to think that maybe he meant purposes that were intensive?
Alot of you grammar nazis and you're strange ways...
Somewhere, a comedian cries. Not sure if it's from your missing it or the original joke.
Javascript is great for all intensive purposes on the web.

And the device still goes into panic mode. Then it comes down to response time of the organization that implemented it and the local law enforcement.

He was an early beta tester of the program. The size of the device has been reduced to slightly under half so as to cause much less discomfort.

We secretly replaced this group's sushi with Folger's crystals. Let's see if they notice...

Wow I skimmed past the Mac part. I'm browsing to it with Ubuntu. They're not even cool enough to stroke me off right.

Almost feels like they care.
So a self signed cert is more secure? Last time I made one I didn't even verify my credit card.

A closer analogy might be a friend promising you some of the insurance money settlement for burning down his house, then skipping town with it all.
And WoW, It seems to think of time as a little more abstract. Like, as if I have unlimited amounts of it.
What do you mean there is only 24 hours in a day? that's bullshit I still need that epic ring...
