Protesting, and calling anyone who complains a bigot, racist or homophobe = part of the process of freedom of political speech = part of society's rules for the process of change.
I never said it wasn't. But I also noticed that you left out "rioting, blocking roads...." all criminal acts included in my original comment, that gave a more complete context to my point, rather than the cherry picked version you responded with. I can't even give you 1/10 for that, because ignoring the bits you don't like, is EXACTLY the problem we're talking about here, on a wider view.
you can riot, block roads, protest, or simply ignore the actual laws, and call anyone who complains a bigot, racist, homophobe..
"or simply ignore the actual laws" there as if it follows from all the other items on your list, when in fact "riot" is the only one it clearly applies to.
Actually, I didn't slip it in there, it was purposeful and you failed to even grasp why I would have included. We have lots of laws on the books, regarding how Immigration is supposed to happen in our country. Our Current President is simply ignoring those laws, and anyone who disagrees is called "Racist" for wanting the laws enforced. We also have "sanctuary cities" where criminal illegal aliens (those that have committed OTHER crimes) are protected by the local city from Federal Immigration law, simply because the city doesn't like those laws. If you oppose these cities granting "Sanctuary" status to Criminals, you're called "Racist" or "Bigot". Which is kind of funny, because the ONLY reason they are protected is because of their skin color. Any other person would be tossed in jail or otherwise deported, except for their skin color.
As for name calling, it works on most people, and especially the current generation of snowflakes who take offense to just about everything, including being "traumatized" by chalk marks on sidewalks. However, I don't give a shit what people call me on the internet. Name calling is what liberals do when they can't actually win on facts.
Moral equivocation. And Dick Cheney didn't out anyone.
BUT as long as you're talking about "outing" someone in an intelligence community, then I assume you think Hillary's Private Email Server is much much worse, since, it was likely compromised by foreign intelligence, and DID have secrets in it so sensitive that the Inspector General investigating had to get Special Clearance, as did member of congress, to see what she was emailing to people.
But you probably don't even know about this, because the press thinks Melania's speech was so much more worse than Hillary Clinton's irresponsible actions as SoS.
Society has rules, you don't have to agree with them, just follow them. There is a process to change them if you don't like them...
Unless you're a leftwing liberal, then you can riot, block roads, protest, or simply ignore the actual laws, and call anyone who complains a bigot, racist, homophobe....
The problem is that we have accepted, in a large number of cases, ignoring laws we don't like, and people think that is how it is supposed to work for all laws. You cannot say we are going to ignore laws we don't like, and at the same time want people to uphold / follow laws we like, but they don't.
Besides, we now have a new class of laws, Laws that apply only to the little people, and don't apply to people with enough power and influence.
I have no concept of how it works, and yet you don't actually explain where it went wrong. Please, enlighten me on how Comcast has exclusive rights to my city, without the city being involved.
What "commercial space"? Under my plan, the last mile is functionally equivalent to building roads, so that UPS, FedEx and the USPS can all deliver to your house.
The ISP part is in the COLO, not in the fiber plant.
to see if the fleet is overall getting more or less efficient
Yeah, sure, but no. There are cars no longer on the road, not because nobody wanted them, but that the Manufacturer couldn't afford to make them any longer, because they were so popular that they skewed the CAFE numbers. Cars like the Crown Victoria, a staple of Police and Taxi companies. They are prized for their durability and longevity, and now... they don't exist.
And instead of driving Crown Vics, Police have moved to bigger, larger, less efficient SUVs and because they are "Trucks" do not fall under CAFE standards.
Having things like CAFE standards are good, in the short term, but in the long term, end up doing nothing. The Market eventually adjusts and either things get worse, or things are worked around so that the original standard is irrelevant. It is this way with just about every over zealous regulation in existence. And we hold onto the outdated standards far too long because people yell "Republicans love Dirty Air, Dirty water!"... and we can't fix bad laws because of it.
The correct words are "Franchise Agreements". And those are granted by your local municipality. Stop blaming businesses for corrupting your local mayors and council critters.
The problem is easily solvable, because it is a problem of the "last mile" and a simple bond measure would solve it. Issue bonds to build out Conduit pathways to all city dwellings and commercial buildings. Pull fiber to each house, back to a single (or more) COLO facility. Offer any/all providers a spot in said COLO facility to offer whatever they want, to any/all of the people hanging on the other end of all that fiber.
1) Competition will create lower prices 2) Competition will create additional options (a la carte??) 3) Competition isn't for last mile, it is for service.
IF you are pissed at your options, make this proposal to your City council next time the Franchise Agreements come up for renewal. MAKE them work for you, they are your Public Servants (or should be)
It isn't the hospital that requires it, it is the government regulations that prevent anything resembling an upgrade. The amount of red tape that is assigned to anything "medical" is astounding, all in the name of making things "safer". In the end, things are NOT safer, and hospital systems running on older, exposed versions of software is a huge liability, but nobody really cares, just as long as it is "certified". That certification prevents lawsuits, and passes the buck when shit hits the fan to the point where nobody can actually address the issue that caused it.
It isn't just that $label is those things you say, it is. It is the lowest form of debate, used by people who cannot argue based on fact. It works. I yell $label_epithet and suddenly everyone stops listening to the other person, regardless of how correct (or not) s/he is. It ends debate, without presenting any facts.
McVeigh also attacked a "government" building. So, if the Parent to your post is insinuating that killing cops is equal to McVeigh rebelling against the government, then by all means he does have a point. Chances are, he views McVeigh with more disdain than the cop killers.
Actually, if you watch that video, it is clear that there was an ambush. Watch the video again, and ask yourself, where the guy came from that shot him. IT wasn't from a vehicle on the road, it was from 50 yards off in the forest.
Who is making it "volatile high stress" ?? Regular Americans tired of people like BLM rioting, cities like Chicago getting shot up daily without a peep from the "Black Leaders", cops getting shot in ambushes or... liberal idiots shouting "Hands up, don't shoot" (didn't happen), "pigs in a blanket, fry em like bacon" (BLM) or some racist asshole targeting "Cracker" cops ?
ALL you have against Trump and his supporters is stupid words. IMHO actions speak much louder and you probably should be paying closer attention to how things are ACTUALLY proceeding, rather than listening to the idiot talking heads who know nothing.
Yeah, because people with OPEN carry shoot others all the time for no reason. Meanwhile, anti-cop racist assholes have killed and shot over a dozen cops in the last couple weeks, and you're scared about Trump supporters? Yeah, Liberalism has no bias at all. SMH
Actually, the previous poster is the reason why Liberals want to regulate EVERYTHING, not just guns.
They want to regulate my car, house, business, lifestyle, religion, income, property, and indoctrinate my children in public schools with social engineering.
Getting government approvals doesn't hurt and sometimes it proves helpful.
Having seen the ridiculous efforts to make us safer, actually do the opposite, I'll beg to differ. I've seen a fire inspector require a new powerstrip, only to see the new (and approved) custom built power strip start a fire, and pop 8 Power supplies and send toxic fumes into a room full of students, all in an effort to keep a cord (under a trip strip) from starting a fire, because the code said so.
So, I am under NO illusions that such things happen, on a regular basis, but are NEVER recorded as a safety violation to the agency involved.
Of all the strips I've seen that were "trip" and "fire" hazards, I've never seen one actually start a fire, except the one that was swapped out in an effort to make it safer. Saying it is safer, without full and complete evidence is nothing more that propaganda. I want empirical evidence.
And if you didn't have to have your water tank replaced, the old water tank was "Grandfathered" in, and was about as safe as the new replacement, except for the fact that now you've had to have a government inspector involved, paid additional "fees" and you likely delayed repairs because of the added expense. And if you hadn't, there are others that have. Getting Government approvals doesn't actually help, and may actually be problematic. But we can't actually look at those aspects, can we?
Why should government be involved at all? There is very little difference between renting month to month, and renting week to week. In fact, there are whole communities that are built around weekly even daily rentals (tourist, vacation homes), that have VERY little government oversight.
This just smells of "We have to do something, this is something, therefore we must do it" kneejerking

You can't have it both ways.
Except, of course, in the 38% of states who have laws that "protect" incumbent franchise holders and make it harder for municipalities to do that.
The Municipalities don't have to compete with the service providers, just provide the transport layer (Layer 1-2) for use by the ISPs.
I have no concept of how it works, and yet you don't actually explain where it went wrong. Please, enlighten me on how Comcast has exclusive rights to my city, without the city being involved.

Now think about this. It works this way with ANY commodity.
