  1. how do we know Snowden was looking out for US citizens? What if Snowden was working for the Russians as a sleeper or some other foreign gov't?

    What if he's a triple agent, giving false info to the Russians right now? How deep you wanna go?

    Using write once media for backups should come back into vogue.

    I believe their are legally allowable limits on both.

    I think everybody is just running some James Bond car chase scenario in their heads. We're setting the scene at the corner coffee shop in Istanbul, which is always next to the fruit stands and the fresh fish, and the old truck blocking the street. Now, where does the "S"* car go?

    I was kinda speaking in the past tense. They've been doing it for over 40 years. Usually 10 -15%. Seven and a half is nothing.

  7. Right, all those statements are also reported to the IRS, they have everything they need. If they have questions, they can call the banks, brokers, or those other government offices. They can leave us alone, expect when it's time to send the refund.

  8. I would hope this would provide a little incentive to find alternatives to Google. The Yacy project seems like a good start. Or maybe it's too kludgey like Freenet. Either way, decentralization and ad hoc networks are our only hope for an open and secure internet.

    The Abbott and Costello show is always the best for this. And the the old pre-war MGM and Warner Brothers cartoons get more laughs also.

    TV stations would speed up programs to insert more commercials.

    Unfortunately, I doubt you would get the desired result. Since there is no opting out, we just have to look more closely at them, and make sure they suffer all the same consequences we do.

  13. On the contrary, make them actually serve. They should fill out our tax forms. They have all the W-2s.

    Does a petition for a vote require a majority? Usually not... Besides, so what? Everybody gets to vote again. Where's the loss?

    Yes, if he wants the job of speaking for others, he has to make his position perfectly clear. Obviously it doesn't work out that way, but that's the way I see it.

    There's no legal reason to overturn it or attempt to overturn it by holding another vote.

    You are wrong. People can entitle themselves to as many votes as they want. If a sufficient number of people want to do it again, it is their right, just like resubmitting a bill for passage.

    I hope you aren't trying to tell me he wasn't aware of that campaign. I can't argue what he knew and when he knew it, but, for a politician, silence says a lot. It can also work to his advantage to simply avoid the subject, and just let it slide. There are many way to endorse an idea without voicing that support.

    It shouldn't be any big surprise to anyone now that it was bullshit.

    But, like you said, it didn't matter that it was bullshit. The US is experiencing the same bullshit in its elections right now. They have the two biggest liars in the business battling it out, utterly monopolizing their mass media and internet gossip rags. All others don't even get the time of day. People are going to defend their team no matter what. Politics is pure tribalism.

    He knew it was false throughout the campaign, yet went along with it. He owns it as much as anybody. But you are right, it did mean fuck all, he won.

    He didn't change his mind. He just lied. I vaguely remember a similar thing happening during the US 2008 campaign and while passing their health insurance bill. Same shit, different day.
