All authority needs to be treated in an adversarial manner. And if nothing else, we can go by precedence, circumstantial evidence, and even mere suspicion and speculation (confirmation on the front page does help) to remove the authority and take away its 'gun and badge'.

Even Snowden and his pet journalists have not released one piece if information that was not already easily discovered by anyone with an IQ over 50.
That's because they really have nothing. This dog and pony show is not what you think it is.
For all the complaints leveled at the NSA there has been no proof that they have ever used that information against it's own citizens.
Hard to say when you can't cross examine the records. If the government doesn't open the books, we have to assume the worst. We have to maintain the Sword of Damocles over their heads.
You assume much, and the ignorance is on your part. I never said anything, much less advocated continued draining of the aquifers. Economics and politics are the only barriers to providing an abundant water/energy/food supply for everybody. The tech is comparatively trivial.

...they're going to reach the point of needing to charge you a flat fee just for the connection to the power lines...
That is really the way it should be. There is no reason to meter electricity anymore.
Change the business model. Make the grid global for generating and load distribution, and everybody can pay a flat fee for infrastructure hookup.

It's not a court...

A clear violation of 1st Amendment rights. Ah, well... It's what people want

He is the liberal/progressive version...
Ah, so that's your game, eh?

It is only a problem when somebody (state/corp) has the advantage.

*sigh* The 'drought' is an economic/political issue.
if it leaks / breaks you get a ... water spill?
It would be disaster! Next thing you know, edible plants will proliferate!
Such needless suffering for the sole benefit of the 'quarterly report' in the portfolio.
this guy is a nut....the GP refers to TSA...
Ok, I get it...
Yeah, well, some kids never get over the desire to blow things up.
Ahh, 1987...

For some people there are certain bragging rights, yes...
Vapor implies humidity. We can call this dustware...
