Whaddya mean? The same bullshit is happening all over the globe. People everywhere are very conservative and stand by the ruling authorities. The chatter against it is amounts to nothing at election time.
Will there every be a tipping point where the public reacts negatively enough to actually do anything about it? According to all the trends I see just the opposite will happen.
You needn't rationalize your vote to me. I don't care why you voted for him. The only important fact is that you did, and when you do it twice, all your complaints are nothing but gibberish. The really are anyway simply because we already knew he was lying during the initial campaign. We told you so, but you didn't care then either. So, as nice as all your words may sound, coming from you makes them more tragically comedic than anything. All you are doing is repeating what we told you back in 2007 as if you thought it up yourself. Ahhh, ego.. Do tell!
And the article did draw a large audience, and you drew some of them, so I'm only reminding them what to expect as your rationale as is most of theirs, Obama won your 'lesser evil' game, and it's only because you believe the bullshit.
That does not exist, and if it did, it would probably be declared illegal in most countries. We can't allow them to link to copyright infringers now, can we?
Yet you voted for him twice. What does that say about you?
And for the viewing audience, if there is a response, it will be all about the bullshit of the 'lesser evil'. In that regard, this is a preemptive 'shhh!' That entire argument turns makes the whole thing totally farcical.
How can voters 'approve' of secret programs, to spy on them?
They do so by not demanding sufficient oversight and allowing too much secrecy, legal or otherwise. And they do it willfully because they believe propaganda. As much noise as we make about it here, the vast majority finds it all perfectly acceptable. Not that they will ever overtly admit to such. Code words like 'national security' and 'voting Arabs' are all you need to get everyone on board. The voters are not innocent by any means, they can pretend ignorance all they want, but that kind of BS doesn't fly.
It's not an assumption, it's a given, a known parameter, with its own MIL-SPEC number. When dealing with authority, you will never be disappointed by assuming the worst of them.
So, I have to ask you, why would you ever give them the benefit of a doubt?
Their behavior is highly rewarding. The voters approve, on both sides of the pond. What do they have to be ashamed of? The public that allows this are the ones who should be ashamed.
I'm just going to point out that from a purely pragmatic position...
This is quite a contrast compared to the 'morality' play you were tossing at me. Here it seems you accept that we live in a might-makes-right world of battling empires.

expect the worst then, happy? I never claimed to be a master of the language. I will assume you are not either :-)

Right on cue, thank you!

Understanding the desire for power and natural arrogance of authority, is there a reason not to?
Silly question... Reelection rates remain steady at 95%, so yes, they do.
Why would anyone take anything of real value? The stuff is cheap. Use a throwaway for traveling and upload to a 'cloud' drive during the trip.
They'll get your IP
If you keep your distance that won't be a problem. A properly designed autonomous vehicle will do that by default.

I'm not sure wandering around the internet with a big red flashing strobe light on your head is a suitable solution, but good luck anyway.
There is no free speech protection written into the law, and basically people are against it anyway, so, whaddya gonna do?
Well, they did file a joint return. It seems the divorce is not complete yet.
I kinda figure that while Microsoft can squeeze money out of Android through patent trolling, this SCO thing will always have legs.
He's mighty lucky... My goddamn mule just stands there and eats!
Be careful where you stand. Because where ever that is... is fair game.
With that in mind, I can say you are just talking out of both sides of your mouth.
I don't like violence.... I'm a businessman, blood is a big expense.

Well, yeah, you can't go around building jails and not fill them up.
The submissive, obedient public is much more disgusting.
Poser!
Why would we ever allow a commercial license to be confidential, withheld from public scrutiny?? Absolutely shameful...
