    Nothing is being 'destroyed'. There is merging and assimilation. Don't make it like it's a bad thing.

    The US government cannot create this without also understanding they've given a means to everyone else to hack into everything in the US by figuring out the way it works.

    Yes... and? What conclusion can we draw from this?

    Branding is important. Remember, they are making a fashion statement. They have to sell the war, a little bit harder during election season. It's not Orwellian as much as it is Madison Avenue.

    Hillary Clinton does not currently hold an office or position that would put her in possession of classified information.

    Oh what, they used a neuralyzer on her? Let's not take this too personally. She is following her lines, what do you expect? The party fanatics will not turn their backs no matter what bullshit is laid on the table. They just want the primaries to be over and for Sanders to go away so they can distract us with the GOP clown act, that was probably hired.

    You can keep heart and mind, that's not marketable.

    That's not true. Hearts, kidneys, livers, lungs... and the mind of a day trader are all very marketable.

    ...people may bitch, moan and rant all they want, as long as they keep buying.

    Their politics is identical. Piss and moan, then reelect the devil they know. Such is the irrational man.

    Why would you move anywhere? The smart guy just buys a new government. The politician wants the same thing.

    Law enforcement and intelligence are different functions.

    There is hardly a more diplomatic way to put it. Yes, they are, aren't they? Almost to the point where one precludes the other.

    It's pretty sad when the people advocating and participating in the destruction of their own culture aren't self-aware enough to recognize it.

    Ooof! Now you are arguing for cultural purity? Now, that's sad.. More walls you want, eh?

    Costs for some, profits for others. The people that profit from war do not consider it a 'mistake'. While you chatter on about politics and 'morality', they are conducting business. And right now, war is very good business, for some.

    The goal is destabilization to scare off competing 'investments' and keep the Russians in a box. Mission accomplished!

    Small, distributed bases make a lot of sense. A lesson I would hope was learned in Pearl Harbor. You know, *eggs in one basket*, etc. And not just for the drones, they blend in a tiny bit better... Could even make them unmanned, with automated fueling spigots and and weapons loading, operating in the dark.

    Well hell, I should just be allowed to burn my garbage (just stay upwind if you don't like it), and let my sewage flow into the street because I want to "freedom" to neglect my plumbing. I only take a shit once a day, so what's the big deal?

    Rose colored glasses... so the "journalism" doesn't look so yellow. Go back 100 years to read about another couple of fellows similar to today's Murdoch. There's very little to admire, just the chutzpah of naming a prestigious award after one of them.
