teach them kids good, they will need to be prepared to kill people in the next war.. i mean police action.. i mean liberation.. i mean contingency operation..... ...
what would happen if they spent their childhood playing games where you learn stuff or have to puzzle out complicated stories?
the film that causes gas industry PR people to shit bricks, because it shows several people, on film, setting their water on fire, and because it has interviews with people who have had the gas companies pay for their new water supplies (trucked in periodically), and because Josh Fox has discussed what happened to those people for daring to talk to him - the gas companies shut off their supply of water.
initimidation and persecution are not the tactics of an group that has the facts behind their cause.
There are already thousands and thosuands of wells all over the United States, that was the whole point of part of Cheney's energy plan.
Please see GASLAND by Josh Fox.
Fun fact - the people who own those mineral rights probably don't care about the environmental damage, they are getting massively rich. if you could somehow spread out the wind-power profits to tens of thousands of people you might see more political support for wind farms.
i was starving to death because of the worst drought in sevral decades, a government that doesnt exist, etc etc.
thank goodness i had GPS. i was able to mark exactly where i died, so that i will not become a ghost, wandering the desert - someone in my clan will find me and give me a proper burial.
or a bicycle path or a number of other transportation solutions? why pour more money into a system that has proven to be so destructive, not only to safety, but to the environment and human health?
power steering: human is in control, power steering augments that control. if it fails, the human can still control the cars direction
cruise control: human is mostly in control. if cruise control fails, the human can still control the cars speed
if the anti-lock brakes fail, you just have normal brakes. the human can still stop.
if the fuel injection fails, the car rolls to a stop, as it would with most other kinds of show-stopping engine failure.
if the collision avoidance radar fails, nobody even notices.
in a robot car the human is not in control, the robot is. if it is going at 60 mph, that is 88 feet per second. if the robot malfunctions and jerks the car into the left lane, then the human can take over... but it takes a good portion of a second for the electrochemical message to get from the brain to the hands. in that time the car has have traveled a good portion of that 88 feet. maybe under the wheels of a tractor trailer, maybe into a bus full of nuns.
is the government watching over these robot experiments, to make sure they are done properly? maybe in the united states, but i can assure you that in China, scant attention has been payed to safety, and any whistleblowers have been put in prison (google Xiao Lianhai).
Heres what psychologists have to do before they do an experiment involving humans:
"8.02 Informed Consent to Research (a) When obtaining informed consent as required in Standard 3.10, Informed Consent, psychologists inform participants about (1) the purpose of the research, expected duration, and procedures; (2) their right to decline to participate and to withdraw from the research once participation has begun; (3) the foreseeable consequences of declining or withdrawing; (4) reasonably foreseeable factors that may be expected to influence their willingness to participate such as potential risks, discomfort, or adverse effects; (5) any prospective research benefits; (6) limits of confidentiality; (7) incentives for participation; and (8) whom to contact for questions about the research and research participants' rights. They provide opportunity for the prospective participants to ask questions and receive answers. (See also Standards 8.03, Informed Consent for Recording Voices and Images in Research; 8.05, Dispensing with Informed Consent for Research; and 8.07, Deception in Research.)"
etc etc etc. (from APA website)
nice to know that the robot car people have, basically, no ethics whatsoever, considering that automobile-travel systems have killed more people than terrorism.
most of the great scientists did not pretend their field of endeavor was separated from society by some kind of impermeable wall, where they didn't have to care about things like freedom of speech or the uses that governents and military had for their creations.
im not talking about lunatics ranting and raving in the asylum, im talking about Albert Einstein, Carl Sagan, Andrei Sakharov - the Galileos and Copernicuses of our day.
Slashdot Mirror
they will adopt it in a second.
teach them kids good, they will need to be prepared to kill people in the next war.. i mean police action.. i mean liberation.. i mean contingency operation.. ... . ..
what would happen if they spent their childhood playing games where you learn stuff or have to puzzle out complicated stories?
one day, the money will be gone.... who will pay for the cleanup?
look at some of the EPA superfund sites, take Pitcher oklahoma for example.
eventually, you run out of places to exploit.
learning a new programming language is awesome.
however, if swelling persists for more than 4 hours...
its also natural for people with lots of money to hire PR flacks to spread lies to attack anyone who threatens their power.
that has been happening for at least a few hundred years.
it ran out. there are other places we can get it cheaper.
what will happen to the gas?
same thing.
your fossil fuel ideas wont work here.
something that has been going on for something like 10 years already?
the new stuff is using a lot of innovative chemical combinations.
you can read the articles to see the arguments, there is plenty of knowledge of history found therein.
when they are trying to treat all the diseases caused.
the national association for the advancement of civilization,
the companies who love birds and squirrels and bunnies alliance
the patriotic america loving job creation coalition
the brilliant people who hate losers organization
the anti-baby-killing league of mothers committee
and many many other independent groups, none of whom receive 100% of their funding from the oil and gas companies
you can go to the website and read them, if you really want to know.

its called trains, subways, bicycle paths, etc etc etc.
all it takes is the desire to put down the kool-aid and stop throwing money down the car-hole.

its experimental by its very nature. you dont experiment on people without their consent.

why do people lie about war so much?
considering that we now have multiple different versions of Windows 7, windows XP, windows Vista, and 64 bit vs 32 bit, etc.
finally the suits can have touch-button control of every single user, what they are doing, what they are looking at, etc.
and you dont have any of those fucking nerds getting in the way soaking up profits.
next step - get rid of users.
oh fuck it , nobody cares anymore
