BTW, in old not-for-profit community theater, using a hammer to insert screws into the gussets/frames when making flats was an accepted practice as once the glue dried you could unscrew the screws for reuse. Today you probably won't see that. But it goes to show Exceptions to prove the rule..
Why are there more U.S. Soldiers dying from suicide than have been killed in Iraq? Why does not the military train its soldiers how to heal from the damage war does psychologically?
A bit of History leading up to the current world wide protests and why..... Limitations being reached.
In human evolution there was a time when we did not use high level abstraction in communications and certainly not in organized structure of society. Not really much different than animals. We knew working together we improved survival rate and even were able to develop small societies. As population increased so did the complexities of society so to maintain the benefits of such team work. But population growth eventually caused a breakdown in communications as team work became more specialized. Many know the story of the tower of babel but its a story representing an event that happened around the world, each growing society in its own time. It was teh event of human transition from bicameral mind (Julian Jaynes) mental functioning to the creation and use of higher level abstraction which required a new way of mental functioning, what Julian Jaynes identified as Consciousness.
In this creation of higher level abstraction we also discovered that misuse, wrongful use of this new tool of abstraction can bring personal benefits, what we recognize as cheating, lying, being dishonest. Mathematics was the next major refinement of our abstraction tool set and solidified when we transitioned from the limited roman numeral system to the Hindu-Arabic decimal system which was far more powerful and did not require experts to do accounting. Of course as accounting is, the abstract tool of money was created to ease trade, based on mathematics as so much has been since.
Today we have reached the limitation of our abstract tools of language and structures we have created, i.e. government, financial, religion, etc. due to the growing abuses, misuses of these abstract tool to deceive and distort and distract from real value.
People are not stupid, for if they were we'd not be having these world wide protest and they will increase as the population grows. This population growth resulting issue is why there is effort and intent by those in positions to influence, to reduce population massively and by all means, preferably by those means that reduce retaliation.
Limitations of those who deceive is now being challenged...... Because the people are NOT stupid and growing wiser to the cheats all the time.
What if each individual tax payers instructed government as to where their taxes are to be spent and government was then required to verify their spending/accounting openly. Wouldn't this make for a far more democratic process where elections would be more inline with an employer looking for someone to simply execute a defined job though handling the details, via their genuine skill set? Instead we have corporate sponsored candidates where the best advertising gets the winner the position to lie to the people for their terms length.
Stupid is not the people but the process which includes all sorts of detours from the majority vote.
Are the people stupid or just wrongly informed and why?
Join the U.S. military go to another country kill many many civilians and maybe get a medal. Morally I'd rather commit wire fraud by giving the people information access. Ethically, Id spend my time exposing excessive profiting of telecommunications.
If enough of us do this we can start our own country within a country, different than the country of Washington DC... as it'd be much bigger and we'd have our own fence, food, clothing, shelter, medicine, even security, etc.... paid for by those in the outer country. And the diff from DC would be... not having the command to order the kill of many many people w'd never meet.
Wire fraud huh? What if it we wireless?

The first step in dealing with addiction is to admit it openly. That is the genuine intelligent thing to do And in this case it is also a step in the direction of correction.
"There is, however, one obstacle that the Open Ministry and the entire citizens’ initiative law is already facing.
The Ministry of Justice should have a website where people can sign the initiatives.
To be legally valid, the signing of an initiative requires a bank identifier code or some other form of accepted online signature to prove the signee is who he or she says he is.
The Ministry of Justice has not even commenced the constructing of such a system.
It will not be up and running before the end of the year at the earliest."
Perhaps the first issue to use this system for is to get the Ministry of Justice to do what they need to do. To have "OVERWHELMING" votes for such a verification system (though not verified)....... If only the Ministry of Justice might be able to argue teh vote wasn't valid.

... the mindset of the intelligence industry. It shows there is an element of self supported dependencies involved. This is not unlike addicts, such as Alcoholic and durg abuses etc. But on th eup side of thise there are help groups such as AA, OA, MA, SPA etc.. (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_twelve-step_groups ) where they have buddy systems because once you are so caught up in an addiction it is difficult to stay objective about getting yourself out of the addiction, hence the buddy system comes into play... better objectivity.
So, perhaps we need such a group for the Intelligence Industry, lets call it IA or better yet lets stay silent about the intelligence part and simply call the help group Anonymous.
... is not the content of the emails of Statfor but the mindset of the Intelligence Industry. It shows there is a degree of self supported dependency. This is no different from Addicts, such as Alcoholics and over eaters, drug addicts and.. well http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_twelve-step_groups all of which are there to help in various ways such as a buddy system. Of course we all know that such addictions can lead to criminal activity.
So perhaps we need to add another help group to the list, so to include one for the intelligence industry addicted.
If you had been following the details of the leaked KEY you'd know its not the KEY to the "Insurance.aes256" file but a mush smaller subset encrypted file.
Further more if you understood technology about.torrent files its the file your torrent software (i.e.http://www.bittorrent.com/downloads ) uses to set up and participate in receiving and sharing the files the.torrent file is relevant to.
The insurance.aes256 is not a.torrent file but rather the very large file you want.
Admit nothing, deny everything and make up counter accusations. Now we know where the US Government gets its ideas to make crap up.
How about the tax payers telling government where it is going to spend tax payers taxes? The system is already there for tax collectors and processors to direct each tax payers tax revenue to where each tax payers instructs. This will solve a great deal of problems with an out of control rouge government.
As a tax payer I do not approve of my taxes being spent by the government funding lies and deceptions that hurt innocent people. Who are the tax payers who do? Can I get a list?
According to the Declaration of Independence it is the tax payers right and DUTY to put of government not serving the interest of the people and to form a new governance that will. And that is in the works - i.e. http://www.nycga.net/resources/declaration/
For those who do not know, you can support Wikileaks, using your credit card or paypal by simply buying sponsor items (see wikileaks site for donations) such as a T-Shirt for $100 where the profits go to funding Wikileaks. And this is called Free Enterprise.....
Here is a better direction, How about the tax payers telling government where to spend the tax dollars they insist we pay them. The system is already there with government revenue collections that they can direct each tax payers funding according to what each tax payers wants their taxes to be spend on.
In other words, know any tax payers who'd not want access to what they pay for?
