    Have you even looked at the cases the ACLU has fought? There's no attacking rights going on. They even supported Jerry Falwell, for fuck's sake. And that was AFTER Falwell said 9/11 was the ACLU's fault.

    Jerry Falwell is God' fault.

    We should be ready to support those on the bottom end.

    The poor spend a disproportionate amount of their income on food, so they benefit the most from lower prices due to automation.

    Really? And these same poor who spend a disproportionate amount of money on food, how do they pay for better housing, education, safer streets? The use of automation requires a greater knowledge base to maintain those systems, which means higher prices for the poor. Thereby forcing the poor to become a perpetual debt slave to the banksters that created this mess to begin with in 1913, signed into law by Woodrow Wilson who should be (have been) tried for treason.

    Patent trolls are EXTORTIONIST. They threaten you with a patent that you probably are NOT infringing on but the court fight to prove it will cost twice what they are asking to settle.

    Easy to fix. Expose them and deny further patents, forever.

    According to your article, oil was "discovered" in 1975. For an oil company to even drill an exploratory well, there has to be some assurance of the well producing. Athough the article states the time of discovery, it says nothing about when it was first understood that oil was there. It takes many weeks or months to set up an oil rig let alone where to drill. Taking seismic readings and interpreting them takes many more weeks. I knew about the oil while on Yankee station, not alot to read, but will read any and everything. I'm sure it was a magazine article.

    The drug connection was more lucrative. Afghanistan, Turkey, the Golder Triangle are the main sources of opium and heroin, South America marijauna and cocaine, Central America and Mexico are the conduits for said drugs into the US via military and CIA flights. As to citations, no.

    Congress has quite clearly failed.

    Not really, thry're still in office and not in prison, they have their own non-Obabacare health plan for life, they're richer than sin considering their government paychecks, they have no term limits so they can continue this BS until they die with no legal repurcussions, how is that failure?
    If you mean watching out for their voters interests rather than the special interests, reducing pork barrel politics to zero, limiting terms to two, divesting themselves of Swiss and Vatican secret bank accounts, then yes, they have failed and failed miserably.
