That is the key, the goal. And this goes for all issues of speech. Regardless of "libel" and slander", or anything else. Words do, and always will mean nothing. The response is the only relevant piece in the matter.
No no, hey, you're right. It's much better to just keep on killing people and taking their shit. You gotta go with what works, right? Survival of the fittest! The devil you know is always the best. Don't want to take any unnecessary risks... You just keep on counting those "numbers". That's what makes the world go 'round.
Right now, fusion is solar. What we really haven't begun to tap is geothermal. I mean, Iceland, yeah, but it's not exactly "carbon free". Instead of sending the tunnel boring machines across the Channel, let's point them straight down and see what comes up. And heat is not the only issue. When we start farming the deserts with desalinated water, all sorts of moisture will be pumped into the air. Then you will see some real climate change, the planet will turn back into a sweltering jungle. Everything depends on how we use the great abundance we have before us. We can all live like kings if we want to, without even having to wipe our own butts, and there's still plenty of room to grow more brains to help find another couch to sleep on for a couple of billion more years.
Oh please, it has always been that way. How do you think wealth/power become so concentrated? Might makes right is the only way. Money is blood and it always attracts sharks. When "poor" (I'm using the term extremely loosely) people want to start a war, who do you think they go to for financing? Where do you think American "independence" would be if not for French aristocracy? You think Jefferson and Franklin were strolling through the slums, asking for spare change and advice from people who all talk like Maurice Chevalier? *Au-haw-haw* (Everybody: Au-haw-haw).
The rich (the very tippy top) do live in total anarchy. They can do what they want, and they do, and there's nobody to stop them aside from other rich people. It's an eternal battle of giants. The alpha always has to sleep with one eye open.
The problem is purely political/cultural (okay, it boils down to biological, but who's counting?). The technology is comparatively easy. Right now we create poverty out of abundance, simply to support the financial systems we have surrendered control to. All our energy is spent putting up barriers.
No, it's more akin to negotiating a price over some martinis and sending the courier to the bank to make a deposit. The "court proceeding" is also a charade. It doesn't have to be this way, but nobody gives a shit, and will reelect the same scum who are doing this, next month, and again in two years. Let's not talk about the government any more. Let's discuss why people want it like this. The government is just a reflection of it.
You know, if the iMac had a touch screen, they could justify the thing being so damn heavy.
PCs will become big screened tablets, with a keyboard and a mouse. They already are, and are extremely practical. I don't know why Apple is holding off.
Don't let help them open more solar power plants till we can store the power.
Then fill the reservoirs up with desalinated water so we don't have to hear all the crying about the droughts. We waste because we are wasteful, not because we produce too much.

Nonsense. Like the CIA, they already sustain themselves through the sale of contraband. Nobody is going to stop them without a war.
I say put his cadaver into the stockade... That'll teach him
Well, I guess that's your excuse, and you're stickin' to it. Ni modo

Defend it against what? There is no resistance. All the same creeps are going to be reelected next month. What is there to defend?

Yes, that will make things better. Do what you can to ignore the problem.
You can find the numbers yourself if that is what is important to you. I prefer pictures.
The monarchy still rules. It is your "democracy" that is ceremonial.

Rulemaking is more akin to a court proceeding.

You don't refuse an offer from the godfather to buy you out.
Business IS business.

Our phones would cost half as much if not for them.
The war mongering Randolph Hearst of the new century, and the old one.
AT&T owns the entire pipe. "delicate" snowflakes indeed. Our networks are fragile due to their monopoly status.
No biggie, we'll just move you next door, downwind... Oh, and don't drink the water... there was a small leak, and...

It's available right now. And it could lead in power production by 2050. Like so many things, it's right under our noses..
Yes, Cheney is crying also*
