    ...look at all the legislation going around allowing governments to seize...

    It doesn't make me feel any better that my service provider can do the same thing. And these three would love to have that power also. Banishing people from their forums, and youtubes, and app stores isn't enough. They want you off the net! Only one law is needed, "Your access shall not be denied, or restricted (outside your contracted bandwidth) in any manner if your bill is paid."

    I wonder what has changed since then.

    Nothing really. The nazi thing is passe for the time being. It's all Mussolini now. Evidently, according to the playbook, the republicans are nazis, and the dems are fascists, is how each side describes the other. And both share in each other's conspiracy theories. I say they'll be whatever we want them to be. So if we want nazis and fascists, that is what we will get. But all these guys are wannabes. They're afraid of the camera. So now they have to find more innovative ways to provoke us into killing each other off, and make it look like an accident.

  9. The whole idea of "foreign" is quaint, to put it nicely, but in reality it is ultimately unsustainable also. The quicker its demise, the better. Time for the walls to come tumbling down and to shut down all the planet's "Checkpoint Charlies"

    "Would you convey my compliments to the purist who reads your proofs and tell him or her that I write in a sort of broken-down patois which is something like the way a Swiss waiter talks, and that when I split an infinitive, God damn it, I split it so it will stay split, and when I interrupt the velvety smoothness of my more or less literate syntax with a few sudden words of bar-room vernacular, that is done with the eyes wide open and the mind relaxed but attentive."

    For the right price, you can turn anybody into a nutjob, extremist or otherwise. Instead of playing political/religical theater, maybe you all should be looking for the money that finances the propaganda and the fighting for both sides of this little war.

    And the USA has never been "isolationist". It hasn't kept its military inside its own borders since.... damn! since ever!

    And it's all to treat the symptoms, rather than addressing the root causes of the disease.

    Well DUH! That's where the money is. Anybody who thinks any of this, on either side side, is political, or even religious, is naive beyond the words to describe it.

    Actually a mass movement (that of course will never happen) could actually create the right to access to transportation and set the conditions for its use. For what it's worth, I would advocate such a thing. Actually through our apathy, we already have set policy. We're staring it right in the face...
