Tyranny and revolution are all part of the government cycle. We have been trying to refine social government function since the early Greeks and our struggle for perfect government continues today.
Humanity's primary drive is to expand itself in all areas. Knowledge, wealth, and land.
So it should be no surprise that governments tend to expand its powers over time. The architects of the modern republic realized this, and designed government around contitutional limitations. However even these are showing themselves to be only a dam against the nature of government's need to expand.
Anyone with half a mind can see that if our current path continues, we'll have a revolution in thinking (bloody or not) eventually and scale back our federal government to contitutional limitations of self-defense and cohesive trade ratification with other countries, with states regaining their own titles as republics (after all, we are the United States of America, not The State of America).
In the off-year election of 2003, 46 Libertarians were elected to local office -- and nearly half of those victories came in higher-level races such as city and county council. The LP now has over 600 officeholders, which is more than all other third parties combined.
Currently the party is gearing up for the November 2004 elections, in which we expect to field more than 1,000 candidates for federal, state and local office.
Wrong, that may have been an issue in the late 1700s with Aaron Burr, but that's because the candidates back then did not tie themselves together (democrat Adams as president with republican Jefferson as VP). An electoral vote for Edwards is actually an electoral vote for the Kerry as president, Edwards as VP ticket that has been put forward.
The government's sole domestic role is to be a mediator, between the public and business, public and public, and business and business. It is intended to make sure that the people do not unfairly burden business (socialism), and that business does not unfairly burden the people (fascism).
Somehow, our two party system has evolved in such a way that they either support one extreme (looting business) or the other (looting the people). I'm sure it's obvious which party is which, but it's not the way things were intended to be.

Or maybe you mean subsidize with human lives.
No way, this war isn't about oil. It's about WMDs... uh, I mean: attacking those who aid terrorists... no wait, I meant to say: removing brutal regimes... ok, what I really wanted to say was: bringing democracy to an oppressed people... ok, in all seriousness now: it's about doing something where we change the um, world, and stuff.
1) Divx doesn't do DRM. 2) Pron is moving to DRM (via DRMed WMV). Give it a year and free video trading will dry up substantially (but not go away, obviously). 3) If you can show them another DRM solution outside of MS that works, they'll jump on it.
Hint: the 4 major rules are double email optin (some of these guys email, but legitimately), single email optin (which is fucking pointless) and member/password, and popups (which is pretty fucked up considering it will ONLY pop an IE browser).
So there ya go... show me some DRM outside of MS that is any good, and I'll show you an industry that will pounce on it.
Good straw man you built there, but you missed the point entirely.
The debate over DU is about the dust form it takes after a shell has hit it's target and explodes. That makes it inhalable which is far more problematic than just having chunks of it on the ground that no dumbass would eat anyways.
I was just picking on you based on the definition of empiric:
One who is guided by practical experience rather than precepts or theory.
By claiming to be an empiric, you would have to forego all experiences and suggestions of others and make your own mistakes. I was merely trying to apply some humor to show how that's not always the best course, though mythbusters is quite humorous in it's use as well.
I remember that, it happened in Savannah, GA during the 1996 Olympics hosted by Atlanta. The best part is the guy changed his business by adding one l little line to the 'c' at the end of Olympic, changing the name to Olympia.
A judge ruled in his favor when ACOG tried to sue him again.

I'm curious how well FreeCache works.

That makes so much fucking sense that they would never do it.

The funny thing is when the bank sends you the free life insurance for a measly $10K of coverage. Is it a threat or a snarky comment.
