and says that nuclear energy is, "dirty, dangerous and expensive, and should be precluded on all of those counts", when the actual data shows just the opposite.
If you take into account all of the government subsidies, including covering the industry's uninsurable risks, I'm not sure whether at least the cost argument holds.
If plant operators had to buy liability insurance on the commercial market, all nuclear power stations would be uneconomic.
One has not only a legal but a moral responsibility to obey just laws. Conversely, one has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws. I would agree with St. Augustine that "an unjust law is no law at all."
Even the devil is having trouble picking sides on this one. Mainly because it would mean favoring one child over the other.
Sorry, I've already trademarked "the". Cease and desist use of my trademark immediately! If you do not comply at once, a kangaroo court will force you to pay millions and millions and millions of dollars for the irreparable damage your wanton disregard for Duh Law has wrought on my business.
They need to eat, and so have resignedly signed a one-sided indenture of employment, agreeing to give up their freedom and humanity in exchange for the privilege of continuing to live.

In Soviet America, land owns you!
I'm still debating whether I will write-in vote for Ike Eisenhower or Vladimir Putin. The election is just theater so might as well have fun with it.

Calling your representatives is a good first step.
Have you ever actually tried this? I have. Just about as effective as shaking my fist and shouting at the sky.
Then build a charity, go on search for donors etc.
There we go, that's more like it. Start soliciting bigmoney bribes from oligarchs and become part of the managed "opposition".

Aaron Schwartz legitimately broke the law and had no noble intentions at all.
Duh Law was a badlaw in this case.
Is free universal access to knowledge not a worthy goal?
Honesty is for commoners. Law enforcers and similar running dogs of the oligarchy are expected and encouraged to lie whenever expedient.
"Piracy" is a euphemism for "equal access to cultural data".
I, for one, believe everything I read in the news. Professional journalists never lie and they certainly don't have an obvious class bias.
the crash is on!
In Soviet America, law enforces you!
It's true - the 99% bad apples spoil it for the other 1% of law enforcers.
Why hasn't there been a drop in the number of Facebook or Twitter hits daily?

Rule of Lawyers is overrated. Petty-tyranny is no less tyrannical when it comes plastered over with a thick layer of paperwork and judicial theatre.
Just like Robin Hood, right?
We'd be in a place with fewer petty-tyrannical laws, perhaps?
SF is truly one of the great shitholes of the world.
Would it be illegal for an ordinary citizen to do something? If the answer is yes, you need a warrant
In Soviet America, warrant rubber stamp you!
Summary of court's ruling: "You have no rights. Fuck you plebs, that's why."
That's a feature, not a bug!
Duh Law is never bad. That's why we need more LAW ENFORCERS(tm) to force those filthy plebs into compliance.
Rats,foiledagain!
They're going to run it on Azure? What are they smoking?
