The identities of their constituency is posted on the open secrets site. And by the looks of things that constituency is extremely pleased, or the funding would simply go elsewhere, towards a smear campaign against their former puppet while trotting out a new one. Oh! Sounds eerily like present day middle east policy
The bill is a waste of time and provides zero reform.
Who cares? 95% of congress was reelected. I ask again, and again, what incentive is there for them to provide us with this ethereal 'reform'? I am really beginning to wonder if complaining is some kind of sexual stimulant.
The proper argument to make is to determine who they are supposed to work for. Given what is known so far, they are doing exactly as intended for the people that intended it. And given what happened last Tuesday, all indications are that the voters have no problem with it. You cannot argue with a 95% reelection rate. All this philosophizing about the NSA, etc is only a little more useless now than it was before the election.
For 500 dollars the Jeopardy Answer is:
"Pleasurable intellectual activity that serves no practical purpose"
Would that suddenly justify starting executing random Americans since that is what dictators do?
It doesn't matter when nobody objects. See, that's the whole thing, there is no negative feedback coming from the people responsible, the voters. So,who cares what's "justified" or not?
Yeah, I know, but follow the thread, I got a bunch of phony "liberals" that vote for democrats trying to pass off their propaganda as a sociology lesson on Africa. That is what most people (and moderators if you're keeping score) want to believe.
Trying to be funny, eh? I just just pointed out we don't need anything from Dupont. It is the alternatives that are trivial, just not as potentially profitable. Fear the beast, even those *bearing gifts*.
And it will continue as long as the rest of us continue promoting 'incompetent' politicians. It really is no different. We act the same on every level, in every organization. It's just our nature... Maybe we'll come around, but first we need to recognize the world isn't driven by human intellect. Primitive emotions and instinct trump all of that. Hence the apparent chaos.
You better take another look at the reelection results. The buying habits are identical. Nobody cares about their damn privacy. Never give any authority the benefit of the doubt. They are the last types to deserve such a thing. They will abuse it. It is a universal scientific fact. How many more studies have to be done on the subject before people understand the nature? The cynicism is justified. Is there a word for that? Because it's not really cynicism then.
There is more collusion amongst the automakers than there is competition. It is up to us to pry open their books if we are going to attempt to 'keep them honest'. As publicly held companies, they are not entitled to any real privacy themselves. A few surprise inspections is the only way to determine if they do what they say.
That would be cool. I would to see how they can pull that off. It will have to be some David Copperfield thing. Make their corporate charters disappear *poof*
Sounds more like a neo-liberal.... worse than Randian:-)
Anyway, your naivete is strong if you think the world works the way they taught you in the seventh grade. You got the mods on your side too. I'm, impressed.
Mostly the little generals who rule damn near the whole continent, and the outside meddlers who threaten to invade if the generals don't hand over the goods. But they are good customers, so, without dealing with that little issue, there's not a lot that can be done all the other shit. It's plain old organized crime in every aspect. That is the cause of most of the world's poverty today.
Well yeah, if they're being chumps for DuPont or Monsanto or whoever. In which case, they would be nothing but a tax dodge for laundered money. What the hell, why not? The kids don't know any better. This is schtick.
They don't even need "open source crop lines", whatever that is. The best alternative, least likely to be applied, is for them to lay down their damn weapons. They already produce enough food to feed themselves. Most of it rots in warehouses, waiting for a higher price, or for lack of transport, or the truck's been hijacked. Your "charitable organizations" are only creating a dependency situation for profit.
By what incentive would they want to do that? Everybody just got done reelecting their servants back into office. I don't see how AT&T is the problem. The voters gave their consent through apathy and complacency. Those that deny that are only fooling themselves.

Hey, if the poison buys you another minute, go for it. This is still fraud, hungry or not.

*Beware of Greeks bearing gifts* I would recommend more long term thinking on this. Haste can only lead to trouble.

If it works as well as what we just saw for the politician, who's to say it can't be the same for everybody else? Waddya gonna do, walk?

Oops! Forgot to ask, What am I promoting?
Ah, an Ayn Randian... figures...
See ya later...
Then we should take the money back. It's okay, I know it won't happen... They won the election. What can I say?

...GMO crops help developing farms substantially.
What, are they bullet proof? Africa is a victim of corrupt resource management. Nothing can be done until that is addressed. GMO won't do it.
I've been paid 50 million dollars to piss you off.
You were robbed...

So, what exactly is the issue?
Corruption. The technical solutions are comparatively trivial. Nobody needs DuPont's seeds...
By what incentive would they want to do that? Everybody just got done reelecting their servants back into office. I don't see how AT&T is the problem. The voters gave their consent through apathy and complacency. Those that deny that are only fooling themselves.
Let the feds roll out the infrastructure, just like they did with the interstate system. It's their obligation anyway. It's why we pay taxes.
