    You think voting could change that?

    I can't say until you try. 95% reelection rates say you're not trying. If all you're going to do is show up once every two years, I don't expect much to happen. Working the system means working the system.

    Maybe the trick is.. not to follow bad example, kind of like doing the *right thing* despite what others are doing. Not that a stupid law is going to make a difference or anything. That's purely a PR thing after the party just gave another pass to Wall Street.

    Point of 'discovery' doesn't sound so easy to prove in court, unless it's documented I suppose. The best to thing to assume now is to assume the worst. All systems are compromised. It's just too easy to do, especially for you-know-who...

    They don't need that anymore. And maybe the manufactures prefer that Google doesn't patch it. It relieves them of all liability.

    What we're dealing with here is a police failure...

    We are dealing with our own failure, to control the authoritarians, but it's basically because most people identify with and support the authorities that we have this problem. People want to be the authority. I heard a guy once say, paraphrasing, *I don't mind a dictatorship, as long as I'm the dictator*. This is what most people feel. So, we have what we have. We are certainly NOT Charlie. The voters are siding with the terrorists with all this censorship crap. And we are seeing the fascists grow stronger for it.

    Pythagoras hacked Sony to suppress the truth

    Pythagoras imposed his quasi-religious philosophies... about never urinating towards the sun...

    when Pythagoras’s student Hippasus tried to calculate the value of [square root of] 2, he found that it was not possible to express it as a fraction, thereby indicating the potential existence of a whole new world of numbers, the irrational numbers (numbers that can not be expressed as simple fractions of integers). This discovery rather shattered the elegant mathematical world built up by Pythagoras and his followers, and the existence of a number that could not be expressed as the ratio of two of God's creations (which is how they thought of the integers) jeopardized the cult's entire belief system.

    Poor Hippasus was apparently drowned by the secretive Pythagoreans for broadcasting this important discovery to the outside world.
