Once again, I am not getting through. The problem starts when those people get reelected. That is where the corruption gets rewarded. Capiche? Yet? Please?
It's still easier to get fresh water from the atmosphere. Since it falls down freely, we just have to harvest it. I mean, the deepest hole we've dug is what, five miles? Let's just wait for it to seep out, like the methane and oil do. Besides we are only using about one percent of the water we have on or above the surface. The "crisis" is in management, not supply.
A new party or candidates without party affiliations won't fix this.
You're right. Refusing to reelect the crooks will. We are the system. The system is us. Blaming the "system" is externalizing our own failures. What we are experiencing now is nothing new, it's just been scaled up a bit. And it's still our own fault for letting/making it happen.
I know a guy who will tell you it's all Wilson's fault, and that everything was absolutely grand before he became president. Personally, I blame Mother Nature.
Wrong! They are con men, who hit the jackpot. The voters are the only idiots here, and they are just as corrupt as those people they reelect. The corruption of the politician is a reflection.
Read your history, and learn how corrupt the local authorities are. The country has already endured all that "state's rights" crap. I would prefer not to repeat that fiasco. The voters enable the corruption. Let's shitcan the blame game.
98% of you will still vote democrat or republican, thinking this time things will change. You're right. Things will change... for the worse. And then you will STILL vote democrat or republican again. You have the government you asked for. And quit your bellyaching about lack of choice. I ain't listening. It's bullshit. You decide who is on the ballot.
What that tells me is that the voters are the assholes. Naturally the politician will follow suit to win an election. We know that people like Feinstein, Boxer, Hatch, McCain, Cruz, etc, etc. are assholes. But what kind of asshole does a person have to be to vote for them and give them a lifetime career in this business? They are people who are only looking for a piece of the pie. I do not sympathize with them in any way. In fact they illustrate all that is wrong with majority rule.
I'm glad to see this guy thrown out, but it won't amount to a hill of beans with the replacement being the same thing on steroids. Game changer? Only if both democrats and republicans are tossed out en masse.
Anti-incumbent sentiment is running extremely high
I will believe that when I see greater than 50% turnover in congress. The media polls are full of it. If the approval ratings were so low, we wouldn't see a 95% reelection rate. It's that simple.
By the way, switching back and forth between democrat and republican (which includes Tea Party, as they are simply republicans on meth. Their entire gag is to scare people away from alternative parties and to make all the resistance look crazy like the Las Vegas shooter) does not count as voting the incumbents out. You have to vote both factions of the party out of office for it to mean something.
...what I do with that bandwidth as long as it is within the law is up to me not the providers choice. I do not accept the ISP monitoring, controlling and censoring my.
You shouldn't accept the state doing it either. The internet is information, don't let the government censor it any more than you would your ISP.
It is obvious laws are required to protect the provision of services to ensure anti-competitive monopolistic tactics can not be used to artificially inflate profit margins.
I suppose you can start with outlawing exclusive franchise contracts to pry open the market for more service providers, including municipal ones. It is also necessary to consider them as common carriers and the internet itself as a public utility.
No, the abuse is always top down. The more power, the more abuse. And why should we have to go to court for every damn thing? That's half the problem anyway, write crappy rules and let the courts "fix" it. Damn lawyers have more clout than anybody... well, after accountants..
"Platters" pfft.. You kids had it so easy. Real projectionists do change-overs every twenty minutes, and have to maintain the arc.
And Google Glass... Will there always be only one style? Y'know, there are lots of different kinds of spy glasses out there, and they look pretty geeky in an unfashionable way
The only solution to this is to shut down the agency.
Impossible. It will just go deeper "underground", and move even more contraband than they do now to keep the money flowing. The entire government is going rogue and the submissive population will do nothing about it. This is the world we live in.
Exactly, they took a big chance there. Honesty does not go unpunished in this business. The only safe way is to report it anonymously, and then take some money if they ignore the report and don't fix the problem. The point is to make sure it remains their problem, not yours.
No, you don't get it. I'm just telling you why you pay so much. Personally, I don't give a damn. No duopoly or monopoly can exist without government protection. The solution, if you're looking for one, is up to you. I'm only observing, not advising.

This water is not going to solve the need for water in California's Central Valley anytime soon.
Can't they just import it from India during the monsoons?
A "middle of the road Republican" would not have tried to force the ACA down everybody's throats.
Of course they would! The kabuki not withstanding. Who could possibly pass up such a big windfall?

Bush is history. Obama runs Gitmo now, and the wars. So you can stop with that tired old crap.

Roads? Where we're going we don't need roads...
The bright side to a hovercraft is that you don't need to fix the potholes.

The abuses go both ways.
No, the abuse is always top down. The more power, the more abuse. And why should we have to go to court for every damn thing? That's half the problem anyway, write crappy rules and let the courts "fix" it. Damn lawyers have more clout than anybody... well, after accountants..

With both, can't you just sniff the network traffic?

I would like to know how you can definitively prove that.

...$1,100/mo is what my business pays for 30mbit/s of symmetrical pipe with SLA
You only pay that much because your service provider owns the government that granted its monopoly. Hardly an open market, is it?
