That's because you're not voting for a different one. 98% of you vote for same thing, and the same people, the same party over and over. You've handed the government over to bureaucrats with 40 year careers. Check how far back some of the more famous ones go. Look at the actual numbers. The machine is your creation.
Oh please! Ron Paul is a rat. He just wants to privatize the system to get people to look away from the government. And his "show" bill to put congress people through the same process is just that, a show, something that would never pass, and he knows it.
What would make you think it's any worse now? Yellow journalism has a long glorious history. It has propped up the drug war for 80 years. By shaping a complacent, submissive public's opinion, it serves the government agenda quite well. Sorry, nothing new to see here. It's the same as it ever was.
The basic intent of the bill was to wipe out the competition. All the problems with the food supply so far have been traced back to the big operators. And yet we see: "Outreach to food industry sectors.."
This poll (probably fairly accurate) shows 12% supporting the bill. Clearly it must pass:-/ Bad democrats! This is another trophy on the mantle for the republicans if they ever wanted to play it right.
This is like health "care" "reform" for food. A bureaucratic wonderland to create a culture that could put us in danger of a real famine. Eh, time to cull the population, I guess. Drown 'em in paperwork. It's madness, I tell ya.. Madness!
From what I can gather from the amendment is that it only delays enforcement on small and "very small" business for one and two years respectively.
It's a very horrible bill, as toxic as anything that has passed over the last ten years, giving the feds permission to march onto your farm on any pretext of "food safety". You can bet this "cyber security" bill is no different in the draconian powers this gives to the government.
No worse than anybody else... Nobody can get that big on a single set of books. It's just not possible. Too many palms to grease. In this economy, honesty is the anomaly..
Yeah, and get ready to be flogged with a wet noodle until you give up your passwords... And if that doesn't work, just expect an outright ban on "unauthorized" encryption... unreadable packets will be dropped
Fake AV scams say a lot more about the present state of the market economy and human psychology in general. Attempted fraud is an essential if you desire infinite growth through consumer debt.. A game of cat and mouse, like many things in nature.
Yes, China is the one of world's biggest importers of iron ore, copper and crude oil, not to mention rubber and other commodities.
That's only because they believe it's cheaper than looking for and digging it up themselves, not because they don't have them. Mineral deposits are localized, yes, but China covers a lot of territory. And since nobody is mining anything deeper than a couple of miles so far, the sky's the limit as to what's actually there for them (or any of us) to extract...
First, the point is, in this case, to knock P2P bandwidth hogs off the network.
Second, it's to give law enforcement the ability to harass "undesirables" through the use of probable cause, providing a nice end run around various legal protections.
And of course, yes, there is the money... There could be some kickback from the entertainment cartels..
...it makes their job of imposing six figure sums on financially poor students look that much more vile...
To whom? Public relations is very low on their list of priorities.. Be vile brings in big bucks. Vile are the people who prop up their business with their purchases.
:-) That's funny... The truth is scary, isn't it? Nobody likes being told they've been had.. Makes 'em feel stupid... Would this be why you are so defensive?
That's entirely possible, but there is no measurable difference in their love of power and money, only minuscule differences in their methods. So while you wallow in trivialities, the psychopaths that set you against each other are pillaging everything you have. And because you are asleep at the wheel, they get to the rest of us also. Thanks for all your support!
...Bush put in place these policies...If Obama or Clinton were in office in 2001 they would have done the same thing...
And that's precisely why there is no "left/right" issue outside of mass media propaganda. Also note there is no "left" in the American government. There is only power and authority and various methods of acquiring it.
Meh, It just means the hijackings weren't really religiously motivated. But it does show the lengths people will go to distract any investigation from the people who financed the operation. Only there will you even approach the real motivation.

We need Condorcet voting.
And that is different from open primaries how?
The electoral system in the United States is rigged...
*sigh* Please.. just stop... It's amazing how, when confronted with a problem, a person will always face everything but himself.

Yeah, it worked a lot better back in 1898...
If I don't like how a government conducts its business, I can always vote for a different one... Funny how everything is alike

Then it must be destroyed! Down with irrational, tyrannical majorities!

That's right. It was intended to be dismissed by a totally submissive public. Mission Accomplished...
What's the truth about free speech?
There is no free speech

Yeah, they only pull off three of your fingernails now, instead of five. I feel better already...

Does the pope shit in the woods?
Replace "did" with "does"... And replace "Microsoft" with *
Well yeah, there could be a balance. Even with higher per unit costs, the labor needed to extract from somewhere else still could be cheaper.

Satan has a twin sister?
Yes, and if he will not turn to the dark side, then perhaps she will...
and as such it remains vulnerable to potential legal attacks from Oracle which now owns the Java technology...
