Look up Cargo Cults. They go so far as to make mock air strips and jets to get the "ritual" right. The ones I have heard of are all in the pacific right after world war two not Africa but the theory is the same and it wouldn't surprise me to see it on the rise.
End re-election concerns by going to single terms, and I bet most political posturing and useless activities like this would end (or at least become significantly less).
What about the few good career politicians? Al Franken, Ron Paul , ect. I would hate to lose them after just one term. But that's just two examples in what 500+ congressmen.
Actually Amazon uses an automated script to change their prices to reflect changes in other sellers. They reset their own price and as you can see it is back up to over 900 dollars.
Most problems are cyclical in nature and there is no ultimate end game solution. Take hunger for example. Every day no matter how much I ate yesterday I am still hungry. I can't solve my personal hunger problem forever. So I take incremental steps against it every few hours. Its not ideal, some days (most days) I eat more than I need but it works for now.
If that were true there would be mass riots and armed rebellion.
What they lack is real oversight. Corrupt and unethical police are the norm. Because reporting corrupt and illegal behavior is not acceptable behavior within the police force. Which means that there are essentially no good cops. Because the system doesn't allow it.
They come into most situations and arrest whoever is causing the most ruckus or is most uncooperative.
Who should they arrest then?
They act like frustrated, tired parents who just want some quiet when they come home from work. Right and wrong mean a lot less then just getting everyone out of their hair.
Take a domestic violence case. Who should the officer side with? If both parties are bloody and bruised who started it and who is at fault? Cases are never cut and dry, so they break it up, get one or the other out of the scene and hope that with distance they are willing to work it out themselves.
Then comes the counselor act, where the cops show up after a crime. They assure everyone the that criminal will be caught (rare unless they are caught in the act of another crime) and clean up the mess a bit after pretending to care for a bit.
When somebody you know and love has been hurt you don't want to hear the truth that you and I both know, you want to be comforted and thats a large part of the police officers job. To make people feel safe in a very unsafe world.
I'm sure my contempt for the police shows in this post
It sure does but remember the police are an imperfect system for an imperfect world. If we could have a perfect law and order system there would be no need for one.
, but I really do believe that as a whole we need more control of the people we allow to walk among us with guns.
I agree but as the need for police rises the pay must also rise or the quality must decrease. I would be in favor of a smaller better paid police force given more authority, better training, more education and more accountability.
You download an mp3 for free and each time you play it you hear a brief 10 second ad before it starts?
I would be ok with this kind of pricing model, like hulu and youtube, but the downside is that I have to listen or watch the same exact ad ten times in a row. I would be more ok with commercials or even more commercials if I only ever had to see the same ad once a day. I don't care if I see multiple ads for the same company as long as they are different each time.
Except these personal videos aren't going to a court room but to youtube. They aren't being used as a defense or to fight injustice they are only being used as propaganda against the police. This is the same reason I HATE the criminals caught on tape shows, they only bring up resentment.
I'll let them cuff me and be a quiet nice citizen.
Try that first the next time I bet the whole ordeal would have gone a lot better. If you resist arrest , flex your arms to be in a position to escape restraints or make it look like you might be going for a weapon you deserve what you got for it, not a beating but put into a submission hold.
Hell, once I knew they were just going to injure me if I didn't do what they wanted
Did you think they were going to play patty cake with you?
I should have gone to the hospital and gotten something in writing to prove that I was injured by the pigs, but I didn't; it would have been pointless
Yes it would have been pointless, you already admitted to RESISTING ARREST.
umm no... In the arrest of Ernesto Miranda, the police followed the letter of the current laws. His lawyer objected and stated that current policy of not requiring the explanation of 5th amendment rights was directly in violation of the 5th amendment. The supreme court agreed and Ernesto Miranda was re tried excluding his confession and was found guilty of rape and kidnapping.
Most cop cars have dash mounted cameras. It's not the idea that a cop does not want to be recorded, they want a system that the end user does not have the ability to alter. The individual cop can't get to the video, I am sure only internal affairs and their superiors have access.
The problem with these cell videos is they don't capture the whole event. A group of cops beating up a person looks extreme until you find out that person was resisting arrest and put both the cop and civilians in danger.
No doubt power can corrupt but most cops, and I know from personal and familial experience, took the job to "protect and serve".
Well they would only need to exist long enough to put the work / master into public domain. From there it should be our ( people who are interested in the work ) job to take the ball and run with it.
Ideally, copyright terms should last no longer than patent terms, and registration should be mandatory before copyright can be enforced. Our current "everything is copyrighted by default including my fucking grocery list if I claim it's really a poem" regime is unsustainable and worthless.
and
A good, clean, full copy that can then be used to master additional copies in various formats.
Generally speaking, this is not available.
What if you had to apply for the copyrights to your work but in doing so you have to turn over a master to the copyright office and when the copyright expires the copyright office turns the master over into public domain,
I wonder we will see the ones like General Motors, fighting the user car industry.
I don't think so only because the auto manufactures are deeply ingrained in the used car industry. They use the trade in to up-sell a new car and they use the certified pre own program make money as well. Certainly they don't own 100% of the market but they own enough for it to be profitable.
but the 30% that Apple is getting from them is mostly covering the cost to provide those apps in the first place and to provide the development environment.
$440 Million for the development environment and cost of serving the apps? I doubt it.
When I lease the line it becomes my property, the same when I lease an apartment. The landlord can't come in with out my express permission unless it is a great emergency and I expect my ISP to act the same way.
The judge isn't going after Trudeau, your ire needs to be directed to the prosecutor. It is their job to push the case forward. This judge is upset because
he urged his fans and followers to spam a judge.
and this is clearly Contempt of Court.
Contempt of court is a court order which, in the context of a court trial or hearing, declares a person or organization to have disobeyed or been disrespectful of the court's authority. Often referred to simply as "contempt", such as a person "held in contempt", it is the judge's strongest power to impose sanctions for acts which disrupt the court's normal process.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contempt_of_court

The private copying levy is distributed as per the Copyright Board's allocation as: 66% to eligible authors and publishers,18.9% to eligible performers and 15.1% to eligible record companies.
I may be wrong but aren't the Record Companies the Publishers?

Why do they need to arrest anyone?
AND
If a crime is committed, they need to arrest someone.
A wee bit contradictory don't you think?
If they can't actually deliver safety, then get rid of them.
Anarchy and revolt then?
Bullshit. Police make a great deal of money
