This is why, ultimately, Ponzi schemes fail. The reason why this one hasn't is due to its longevity, other similar schemes never make it this far since the criminals get busted long before the end scenario.
The first two victims of any conflict are the innocent and the truth. Just watch what happens to the laws, rights, and justice after this fiasco. My question is: Whose behind this? Was it a conspiracy or a lone gunman ala L. H. Oswald? What is gained and lost by this action? What laws will be steamrolled through Congress? Where is the new war front? What will be the cost and who will pay? I see absolutely no good coming from this.
Yes, that's what we need, more government mandates shoving unpopular and unnecessary new things down everyone's throat.
Exactly, I'll give you a prize/sammich if you create an idea that will net me millions of dollars of profit from you. NIST will become another bought dog of big business.
What can they do? All the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. Mankind, on the other hand, has achieved so much – the wheel, New York, wars and so on. Clearly, we are much more intelligent.
According to Toshiro Lakanuki, a Japanese linguistics professor, who has studied dolphins for the last twenty years: "The only thing I can interpret in the dolphin language is, Eat Me."
Actually, there isn't.
Big Pharma has to do testing, proof, regulations, patents.
However, you present a false dichotomy. 'Big Pharma' also owns a lot of those 'natural' remedy companies. So really the debate is between good science and crap.
By your logic, Big Pharma says "natural remedies" are crap and they own these same natural companies, what does that say about these companies?
Why is this sad? Big Pharma at least provides benefits for the money they make. Junk science is more than happy to take your money, and give you placebos and ignorance in return. I think it's good that there's more money in Big Pharma than Junk Science.
Ideally, there would be more money in almost anything than in Junk Science.
However, most of the crap that big Pharma and the FDA is harmful. Drugs that are less harmful have been outlawed. Natural products cannot be patented, even though companies try anyway. There can be no profit from natural drugs, therefore, they are outlawed, thereby forcing people into buying expensive, harmful, highly advertised commercial products that are reluctantly pulled from the shelves when too many people die from so called "minor" problems. Just pay attention to the caveats of the hawked preparations. Just look to the countries with natural medicine regimens, namely China and India. The commonality between them is that each country has over 1 billion people. The only thing America has to offer is superior emergency trauma care (best in the world), the only drawback is their committed fanatism to the big three cures; Surgery, Radiation, Chemotherapy. Basically, a death sentence. All the doctors will say is "There is nothing more we can do", "Good luck, live long and prosper, just like I will. "Here's your bill for $120,000, please pay before you die."
No they don't. Just because one study was proved to be fraudulent, they are now all fraudulent? that's poor logic.
You apparently don't understand the Lemming Law. You also need to understand the deleterious effects of all the drugs being foisted on the public through commercials, especially the quick caveats at the end, as the pharmaceutical companies push you (figuratively) to have your doctor prescribe them. So what if you may end up with cancer, blindness, or your asshole falls out, or a slight case of death. Why does the pharmaceutical companies hawk their wares directly to the end recipient rather than the doctor whose business is to evaluate a medicine's efficacy. If you think that the FDA is looking out for the interests of the American people, then you obviously believe the EPA does the same.

Luckily no single school has either over a million pupils or a deep understanding of statistics so we're safe;)
Response 1: Create testing rooms that have a board (large one), with big red letters at the top saying "NO", below it, confiscated cell phones, pagers and laptops that are drilled and screwed to the board. Cheaters only cheat themselves and skew the grading. It is better to lose a minor trinket than to lose your integrity. Once you give away your integrity (no one can take it), you may never get it back and if you do, it will never be the same, ever.
Response 2: Create a testing room that is nothing more than a big ass Faraday cage.
My point exactly. The Na'Vi were designed, above all else, to be hot. Six limbs are... ok, actually, I know some furries who would disagree. But to most people, six limbs are not hot.
So you say. Well, there are about 1 billion people that say you're are wrong.
See what I mean?
The response to Wikileaks is the response to the Pentagram papers. The ends do not justify the means. If the means are not just, then the ends are not just. All the 1984 NewSpeak is BullSpeak.
Is not to inspire future scientists. It is that every kid with an IQ of 90 or more is told that they can be a doctor, lawyer, or scientist, and allocated resources as if they could, when only the 1st percentile or less can actually fill these positions.
They will probably work at the CIA, MPAA, RIAA, FDA, FCC, IRS, Congress, Oil lobbyists, EPA, or any othe 3/4 letter acronym requiring rubber stamp stooges.

iirc, the F22 project was defunded so that they could move the money to the F35 project, which seems to be progressing nicely...
