We are now finding new planets, what next, habitable planets, inhabited planets? We can make 3 D doodling pens and yet, all we have for our taxes is crappy cars with even crappier gas mileage. What's worse is all the crappy auto execs with not so crappy bonuses.
The only shortage is in intelligence, what is needed is a shortage in greedy bastards trying to squeeze out every penny from the unwitting public. Corn is not the only producer of ethanol. The issue is not the origin of fuel but in the efficient use of it. This administration had the big three auto makers over a barrel (excuse the pun), but instead, paid them off with big fat bonuses all the while the consumers, ie taxpayers got the shaft. We can put man in space, put spacecraft out to the edges of the solar system, joyride on Mars, and yet, 25 to 35 miles per gallon is the best we can do. If you cannot see the logic of a situation, look at the money and where it's going and where it ends up.
Governments involved in clandestine assassinations. Who would have thought? And of course, it only happens in other countries, to Al Qaeda and the like. Surely. Oh, and if you believe this, I have a bridge or two I can sell you....
Indeed -- if you invent stepping discs, or the transfer booth, or even an economical and practical flying car, you *will* get recognition.
You'll get recognition all right, ask Stanley Meyer how that worked out for him. It's not about inventing something new, it's about bringing it to fruition. Expect delays, expect opposition, expect heartbreak.
Last time I looked the separation of Church and State is pretty much a failure, many religions are represented in Government with strongly religious Politician's bringing their bigotry and bias with them government and using them to shape laws and policy.
You're right, look at Iran, Saudi Arabia, Israel, Afghanistan, India, Pakistan, etc, etc, et al. Would you want your daughter/sister/mother to grow up in that kind of country? How do you think (that is if you were allowed to think without some sort of religious over-minder watching you 24/7/365) you would feel?
I believe that a spiritual feeling of love your neighbor as yourself has its place in all facets of society including government, but this religious thing should be relegated to altars and tabernacles. The "dark ages" were dark because the CHURCH controlled reading, writing, knowledge and critical thinking to the elite of the CHURCH. Look how that worked out. Anyone thinking otherwise was a heretic and condemned to the inquisition. So much for Monday night football.
If the CONgressMEN would have the same medical/ Obamacare that is being forced down our throats under the guise of a tax, we would have a completely different healthcare system. Enough of the banksters making the banking regulations, enough of the insurance companies making the insurance policies. De-regulation only benefits the De-regulated. A "Federal" banking system that is above regulation and the laws of a nation have no business dictating anything. Shut down the international banksters, put them in prison, seize all assets and identify all the politicians taking bribes. Then, oust all the identified corrupt officials, put "them" in prison and seize all their ill-gotten gains. When millions of dollars is spent on political campaigns that pay, at best, $150,000 per year, the questions arise: Who is paying this money and why? The taxpaying citizens have a right to know and national security doesn't cut it. The sad thing is, there is no reasonable expectancy of a balanced budget when corrupt individuals are being paid under the table, in back rooms, in hired limousines, to squander hard-earned tax-payer funds with little or no benefit to the taxpayers.
Unfortunately, geeks will remain as geeks, and geeks, to the critters on Congressional Hill, are like disposable diapers, and Dr. Chu is no exception.
No matter how much geeks have contributed to the society, the politicians will end up getting all the glory
The issues to look at are bankster accounts and regulation interpretation by the out going regulator. Is he leaving before anyone finds out just what he did in office or is he leaving for a corporate job with all kinds of federal loopholes in his back pocket? Either way, the American taxpayer will end up paying for it in the years to come.
How about a separation of Corporate and State much like the separation of Church and State. Add severe penalties for both sides for infractions. There are way too many politicians in corporate pockets and even more corporate insiders in politics. Federal regulations written by the industries being regulated is insane.
The sad thing is that those who follow the rules keep the information safe. Hospitals are in the game for the money, just like the pharmaceutical companies. Nothing is free, nothing is sacred, just show me the money. Anything that can benefit the patient is secondary unless some medical graduate can get a grant to further the exploration. If a substance cannot be patented, regardless of the lives saved or at least relieved, it has no merit.
That's easy to correct, have Holder sell you guns all the while you claim to be a Mexican drug cartel dealer. It worked in Mexico and it worked in Oklahoma City.
The real study is in Washington DC, where for decades, adults act like spoiled brats, never really growing up. Cater to their whims and they want more. Demand that they sit up straight and act like adults, they become more belligerent, even to the point of rebelliousness. Spank them and they declare war against you. It's time to put RECALL on the ballot.
Suicide sounds like the black ops code for neutralization. With all the gun control talk going around, it's difficult to determine the good guys from the bad. That which is done in darkness will surely come to the light. The truth will set you free but, it will first piss you off.

Always was; He's a criminal, and should be regarded as such. I find his celebrity sickening.
What does that make most politicians? Kevin did his time, how about the rest?
The causes of foot in mouth disease are too complex.
Foot and mouth disease? Mostly generated by greedy CONgressMEN. I believe you mean "hoof" and mouth disease.
Maybe this is what makes a man go neutral...
Neutral or metro-sexual?

Otherwise you'll end up with a bunch of bad laws.

How about regulating them?

I wouldn't think twice about having the clerk go, "there's a surcharge for credit", to which I'd respond, "OK, thanks anyway." and leave.
No better than fighting wars to end war or having sex to end overpopulation. The banksters are too smart for their own good.
If Internet is essential to everyday life,
That's all fine and dandy until power is los....
We don't have inefficient teleportation let alone any teleportation. So take your mathematics and work it out with a pencil.

Did you ever really read the release forms signed immediately prior to surgery?
But growing circuits at room temperature with cheap ingredients would be an improvement.
Which is why the industrial use of zero-g is paramount.
The only way to become a congressperson is to sell out to the very interests you seek to destroy by becoming a congress person.

If officials would reliably issue accurate statements there would be much less reason to stress out.
If they told the truth, the opposite might happen. When the ocean around Japan finally dies for good, then the real fear begins.

Good luck with that.it's clear as mud. How's that workin' out for you?
