    ...I don't think the government has feared the people in quite some time.

    Not since the Whiskey Rebellion...

    I'm so angry I could spit.

    Be careful. Anger is becoming an actionable offense. And if you do spit, don't spit on the sidewalk. In some places that is also actionable.

    History. The US has always been at war.

    Kerry justifies his bullshit with the standard, "The other guy is worse, so STFU".

    Yes, well, I do consider self defense to be a pretty "righteous" thing. Rich or poor, don't blow your smoke in my face! Capisce? Your whole spiel, if not religious, is entirely political.

    The computer will tase the users if they forget to change their passwords at the prescribed time. If they do remember, give them a biscuit, with a glass of milk if it's a strong password.

    Unfortunately, I can only confirm the problem. It's probably a UI thing, since Firefox is laying on the chrome pretty thick. And I'm not giving up my Netscape either.

    Talk about religion! You sound like a regular preacher there.

    No, what kind of silly shit is that? It's not a rich/poor thing. Don't make it into one. Try to stay focused. All humans are parasites, not to say it's bad thing. Our relation with the host is symbiotic and perfectly natural. If you want the species to survive, it is best to ensure its environment remains habitable for as long as possible.

    A good parasite keeps its host as healthy as possible, obviously for its own benefit, but that's okay. That's nature

    Of course if you can keep your pollution localized inside your walls, that's okay too. But whether you're religious or not, you should consider the people downstream/wind. Please don't empty your piss pot on my head. The planet is local. Just a thought.

    Pollution.

    The simple goal should be to spew as little as possible, regardless of the potential issues.

    Yes, but these things are important if you want to maintain a submissive population. They always tell you not to resist, just lie down and enjoy it. This is the dependency the authorities want to create. Obey, and all your needs will be met, and you can keep your cable if you want to.

    Stop pretending people are stupider than they are, and stop encouraging them to be stupid. Just stop.

    Hey, it works in politics, why not here too? If it puts an extra penny in the basket, then it's all good.

    You can keep your outdated OS, just don't complain about how evil Microsoft is when you stop getting updates...

    I will hold them responsible as long as they hold on to their copyright privileges. What I can or can't afford is nobody's business. If you insist that I update, then YOU pay for it.

    Those old hippies are pretty astute. They're selling the "ecologically friendly" plumbing that's being mandated. It's kind of an old trick, widely practiced by the insurance industry.

    The "public" is conditioned, from birth, to defer to the established authority and prefers to live the submissive life with no obligations. Nobody is going to rock the boat until they miss a meal or two... or Facebook gets shut down.
