...Does Google, Facebook, and friends think that anyone will trust them again? They lied. They lied about lying. Then they lied about that...
Bankers and politicians have 'suffered' many scandals over the centuries, and nothing has changed one bit. Business is better than ever. Of course people will 'trust' them. And even if they don't, they have been conditioned to feel hopeless about it and will stick with the devil they know. They are more content with not having to make uncomfortable choices. They fear losing the pittance they have if anybody rocks the boat. Eyes front, head down.
That doesn't change the fact that you are responsible for your own salvation. Contrary to everyone's hopes and expectations, it won't be spoon fed by mysticism and politics and mass media.
Because the citizens have no balls. Too many Cheetos, I guess... That's what that shit does to you, it shrinks your balls. Makes you submissive and lazy... This is the government you deserve. Live with it, or fix it. Your choice.
You forgot about Lieberman, every bit as evil as Cheney. Yes, he would push for invasion. In fact he did!
FTW: Lieberman sponsored S.J. Res.46, the Senate version of H.J. Res. 114, that is, the Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq Resolution of 2002, also called the Iraq Resolution
Screw Gore... As far as I am concerned, he threw the election intentionally by picking Lieberman.
Since a patent is a government granted privilege, if you don't market your patented device, you must allow somebody to do so at a reasonable price, set by the government, if need be. If you want to consider patents as property, let's levy taxes on it and use eminent domain where necessary. (See the Wright Brothers patent on lateral control of the airplane)
They have seats because they won the vote. Gerrymandering doesn't force people to vote one way or the other. Listen, all your excuses are nothing but hand waving and passing of blame. In other words, it's bullshit. This is what the herding instinct looks like. All of human 'reasoning' is subservient to it.
I'm sure we already have one, passing orders to the elected officials, who the people reelect because they also do what they are told. Who is this 'dictator'? The TeeVee!
But we can't do this if we're not allowed to know...
Then you must always assume the worse. And vote out any politician that won't change the law... for what the that's worth. Try to consciously to use your voting power before crying that you don't have any.
I will make it a mixture: let it be a tragicomedy. I don't think it would be appropriate to make it consistently a comedy, when there are kings and gods in it. What do you think? Since a slave also has a part in the play, I'll make it a tragicomedy... -- Plautus, Amphitryon

Yeah, I got one of those things mounted on the wall above the mantle.

Don't insult the sheep. People are worse.

Yes, lifting facilities like Three Mile Island and Chernobyl off the ground takes a bit of effort

It's Plato all the way down...
Between democrats and republicans, there is no 'worse'.
They are certainly no crazier than what we vote for now. The only thing the 'batshit crazy' parties lack is subtlety and tact.
It happens everywhere that's not being closely watched and corrected. SNAFU

I cannot fathom any software system costing that much.
Padding... The money was/is being stolen, looting the treasury.
You voted in a democrat, obviously you really didn't want any change at all.
Well, I guess your only option is to give up then, but leave your pitchfork in the closet, and assume the position.
Too bad you ignore the other candidates on the ballot because you feel safer trying to stay in the middle of the herd.
Appoint a dictator...

Yes, she sees the first amendment as a special privilege... She is one of the worst of the worst.
Let's reestablish a free country with liberty for all again.
For all? Again? I'm looking for a reference. Tell me, when was the first time?

Global prices have to increase?....Sorry, I smell bullshit.
Regardless of the smell, prices will increase. We all know why, but it doesn't matter.
Patent trolls exist because we have patents. The problem goes back to the very beginning of its institution.
