I am not saying this facebook thing isn't a gimmick, just that someday it will be plausible. Or that there are other ways of measuring and mapping brain activity.
You incorrectly presume we are required to reelect them. We are not. Eventually the message gets through, and we can always add the element of criminal prosecution. But, do what you want, apparently passing the blame is still the rule of the day.
But there's not mechanism in place to hold officials accountable should they fail to make good on their promises...
Yeah, I guess voting out the incumbents and petitioning to put somebody else on the ballot is out of the question. This democracy stuff is high maintenance, babe...
It's like trying to teach a toddler to create electrical circuits - they might even work, but the toddler won't understand what he/she's actually doing.
It's like teaching a person how to drive. Sure, they can operate the vehicle, but they're not mechanics or engineers that understand the principles of internal combustion engines and mass and momentum. All they have to know is to not bump into anything.
Carbon tax is just a fee for garbage collection. It is a perfectly valid way to pay for the necessary clean up. But since the voters elect tycoons and won't oversee their government, it will just turn into another scandal. One way or another, passively or actively, together we set policy.
Man is not the "most" anything other than the dominant species. But again you misread... If you want to consider acting like chimps or a simple common agenda as "conspiracy theory", be my guest, but to me you're just hand waving, dismissing the most simple things that make your Trump and Clinton into today's winners.
Do you always work this hard to deny simple animal institutional quid pro quo? I mean, really, why do you care? If you want style, sorry... go find your own dumpster.
What does that mean? The "system" is working exactly the way they designed it to function. The failure seems to be in comprehension of the rules and acknowledging the role we play. Of course that could be by design also. The flaw that needs "fixing" is not there, it is here.

I would like to know what sort of level of verbal threat counts as worthy of investigation to the Absolute Freedom Of Speech people.
They can investigate all they want, but they have no right to compel assistance from anyone. *Look, but don't touch*. That is absolute.
As far as free speech is concerned, read the 1st Amendment as written word for word. No exception is granted, specified, or even implied.
The voters have to do their own vetting. Don't be crying for everything to be spoon fed to you.

Yeah, it can never happen
You don't have to worry about consumables. Up next, the desktop smelter, bring the iron age right into your own home.

Eh, it still makes a convenient storefront, all for free. Just keep the bank account separate from your personal one.
Facebook, NSA, K-Mart, street cam, somebody has all your shit. You don't have much choice.
*sigh* I remember the days when everyone tried to get into the picture...

It's the beat, you know, the rhythm... It rolls off the tongue. Works better if you say it in a William F. Buckley voice.
Cameras on rockets? A little less spin is easier on the eyes
Shit! The internet is Nightmare on Elm Street. I'm too scared to leave Slashdot and go out and read the article.
...merit based incremental updates. That method is how we achieved national coverage for railroads...
Oh, man! That's so funny!

I object!
Overruled...
I strenuously object!
Noted...

I do believe you can file a grievance. The constitution spells out the entire procedure. Ultimately your vote is an offer they cannot refuse.
:-) You are an expert at misreading, I will grant you that much.
To the average American the cops are far more dangerous.
Well, since I'm not trying to "evade" anything, I can only imagine how successful I would be if I were.
And maybe you should take your own advice and "Get over yourself". The sneer only makes you look grumpy.
Yeah, but a couple of them found out their spouses were out on the town. Please... who are they really tracking?
Ah yes... Everything is working exactly as designed... Thank you for your, submission, yeah, that's it... Bwaaahahahaaaa!
No, seriously, thanks...
"We" "You".... Who are they?
To steal from National Geographic: "The mind is what the brain does"
Why can't they be financed with user fees instead of taxes?
Drive on an Illinois toll road and all of five minutes into Wisconsin to find out why you shouldn't.
good players are going to game the system
