Not if I was a Senator, Congressman, President, or other member of the government. It would be my job to keep my employer (the People) informed, not to hide things my boss would disapprove of.
If Assange can't live in Sweden, it forces him to flee to some other location within the US' grasp... perhaps even the US itself. I'm surprised the EU has not spoken-up, to tell the US to stop interfering with its domestic policies. Also surprised the US hasn't tried to assassinate Assange yet.
Oh really? I watch Russia Today, and they are even more anti-government than FOX News is. They invite people like Alex Jones (conspiracist) as commentators.

You shouldn't make rash assumptions about the people you ":debate" with. That's called stereotyping.
Oh I see. So when MSNBC took a Video of a black man carrying a rifle, edited him to be a "white racist", and then spent an hour discussing how they fear "a black president like Obama" is "in danger" of being assassinated by the "white gun owners" (even though the video showed a black man altered to appear white).....
was that "exaggerated for comic effect"? I have a different word for it: A Lie.
>>>viewers of Fox News were much more likely to believe things that were factually fals
MSNBC viewers are pretty gullible too. They keep repeating that lie where Glenn Beck raped some girl back in the 90s. As well as other ridiculous things like, "Tea Partiers want to kill the president," and "Republicans want to re-enslave blacks."
>>>Fox) have gone to court to establish that their "news" is meant only for intertainment
I cannot find any Citations to prove this. I found a blog which made the claim, but it too cited NO proof this event ever happened. Care to back-up your statement?
If you cannot, then the claim must be rejected as fiction.
BTW everyone has the right to lie. It's a first amendment right except in cases of business transactions (such as advertising 10 Mbit/s lines but only giving 1 Mbit/s).
The NES is simply the US version of the Famicom, which was released to Japan in 1983. Same hardware and specs; different plastic package. So it's really 27 years old now..... almost as old as a Commodore 64 or Atari 5200/Supersystem or Colecovision (1982).
My usual stated position is, "We are a Republic, rule of law, not a Democracy." I see your point about the board risking losing their jobs, but that's why we have leaders rather than a simple rollcall vote of the Demos. The leaders are supposed to make educated decision ("Health Canada and scientific study shows wifi is no more dangerous than microwaves"), not just blindly follow superstition.
I liked my pointy-haired boss from three years ago. He was always on business travel.
So does the switch to IPv6 mean I have to throw-out my old Windows XP and Mac OS 10.5 computers? Like many people threw-away their old analog TV sets on June 12 (DTV switchover)? Maybe I better sell them on ebay, so some other sucker gets stuck with the problem. Mu-ha-ha-ha-ha.;-)

>>>But is there any proof that it IS harmful?
Unfortunately there is a lot of proof that WiFi is harmful, but it's mostly manufactured evidence by the same crackpots that want to see it get banned. The same crackpots who claim they've "proved" an engine can run forever, or that cars can roll uphill in some parts of the US.
>>>the (often irrational) fear that some people (e.g. parents) have of wifi is real
I thought the purpose of Educators was to erase irrational fears through endorsing/sharing of knowledge, NOT to kowtow to those fears. - It appears to me the administration is as dumb as the parents - i.e. embracing superstitious nonsense ("Wifi is bad - it must be banned").
Why just HAM? It would also affect other VHF services too - like TV channels 2-13 and FM Radio and DRM (digital radio mondiale). Probably AM radio and shortwave radio would experience noise too, since they seem to be susceptible to everything.

Or redefine "pi" as 3.14.
>>>the wavelength is too long to break chemical bonds
So how long are WiFi's waves? And how "short" do they need to be to cause damage?
Aside - It's somewhat ironic that Shortwave Radio is called "shortwave" when the waves are actually much longer than the waves used by AM, FM, or TV.
