  1. Re:Any second now. on Google Enumerates Government Requests · · Score: 1

    When pandering to China as they are, yes. It's not enough. It's a big loophole that all governments may try to exploit.

  2. Well, pull out of China completely on Google Enumerates Government Requests · · Score: 2, Insightful

    And tell them where they can put their "state secrets". Maybe if they disclose all their "requests", they'll stop making them.. But no... appeasement is the word of the day.

    Demand a waiver from all employers..Maybe it takes things like this to get you all to organize. Otherwise live with the verdict if it goes badly.

    Why do the Africans let them?

    I don't know. Maybe they want to live?

    Why do they choose leaders who let them?

    I doubt they have the abundance of choices like we do. We can choose our governments without having to shoot anybody. It doesn't quite work like that over there.

    I just realized...Your statement is equally correct from both opposing viewpoints. Genius!

    Now that they're on treadmills I say we put a feeding tube in one end, a gas hose in the other and a milking machine on their udders.

    Yeah, I kinda had a "Far Side" drawing of that scenario in mind when I made the comment.

    Jane! Stop this crazy thing!

    ...everybody needs to be a food producer...

    Monsanto says, There can only be one..

    ...so there's no "civilization" either.

    Well there are other things besides food that people can cooperate for. There's still manufacturing, and it might be a good idea to build machine that makes everybody a food producer. Would save a lot of bickering over the price...

    Copyright is an entitlement system...

    That's nothing. I saw a fat lady in her scooter, on a treadmill! While eating Oreos and smoking a cig, with a bloody Mary in the cup holder.

    Yes, there are plenty of famers plowing their crops under also. I wasn't singling anybody out, just finding the most dramatic example to point out the insanity. The agricultural industry is probably the biggest criminal organization operating today. Nothing presents a greater danger to the world's population.

    Why would hunting and gathering be considered any less civilized than running a hog farm or meat packing plant?

  16. Re:Ever done business in China? on China's Research Ambitions Hurt By Faked Results · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The European governments may have left, but their corporate proxies are running full bore. Libya is a fine example. One reason they "can't" stop fighting is because the companies are putting sociopathic criminals in charge of security. Latin America has a similar problem.

    You have to start with the top and work your way down. That's the only way.

    Sounds like trickle-down. For people that need a leader, yes, the example of good leadership has to come from the top. But true "non-corruption" can only well up up from the bottom. That's you and me. We have to stop tolerating corruption. That means no more stealing pens and paperclips from the office.

    They can still get a contract to do studio work for soundtracks, advertising, etc. They can release one song and get you to pay for more if you like. All sorts of new options will pop up once the gates are broken down.
