We should also shoot dead any animal, wild or otherwise, that shits and doesn't pick it up. Foxes, deer, coyotes, bears, sheep, cows, babies, chickens etc.
I mean shit, if we're all for the initiation of force, I'm in guys.
Also, I'd like to lobby for the right for you to kill yourselves. ASAP.
Just reach in the drawer, take out your guns and put it in your mouths. It can't be wrong if you're doing it to yourself and lots of people would like you to do it.
There's no such thing. Money is fungible. The people who think they're paying for their unemployment and social security are actually paying the creditors who loaned the government money 3 years ago and the government is also going out and borrowing more and printing it.
Everyone who is not in the sanctum of power is liable for the 17 and going on 19 Trillion dollar debt.
That's 150 thousand dollars per tax payer, in today's dollars. Good fucking luck.
To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof.
Treaties do have major implications under U.S. domestic law. In Missouri v. Holland, the Supreme Court ruled that the power to make treaties under the U.S. Costitution is a power separate from the other enumerated powers of the federal government, and hence the federal government can use treaties to legislate in areas which would otherwise fall within the exclusive authority of the states.
Fuck off. The 10th amendment is abundantly clear and anything you or anyone else writes or says elsewhere is meaningless.
The feds were granted very specific and NARROW domains and anything not mentioned is NOT THEIR BUSINESS.
The fact that they wipe their asses with the constitution on an hourly basis and in perpetuity does not make it right and some day when they've pissed off enough people there will be a revolution.
You do understand the differences between this fictional entity called 'the government' and the other fictional entity called the 'corporation' right?
While both of them are fictitious entities used to shield individuals from accountability, one has a monopoly on the initiation of force and violence and is in fact the parent of the other.
What I've seen is that people are content to stand under a nest of security cameras suspended above their heads and painted black to blend in, but they get really offended if a stranger points a camera at them.
You know what. Screw your petty nonchalant attitude.
Had this not been documented and proven beyond reasonable doubt, countless people including you would have dismissed it.
There's a big difference between a hypothesis and a hypothesis backed by evidence. The first one is like assholes, except everyone has a million of them.
You must be from the alternate dimension where the people have somehow ensured the federal government operates within the bounds of law.
Over here, the feds wipe their arses with the constitution and completely ignore the fact that they're only allowed certain powers and anything not enumerated is left to the people and the states.
The first thing I should tell you is that the secret feds have created their own secret interpretation of their secret version of the constitution which you're not allowed to know about, unless their secret courts use secret evidence which you're not allowed to see to put a secret gag order on you, which you're not allowed to talk about to the public who doesn't care and ain't listening..
Sit down, relax, watch a game of football or baseball on tv as is the local custom and forget about pesky things like justice and liberty, it's gonna be a while.
Yes, let's see if we can fool everyone into thinking this is the same as arduino. Even though the reason behind arduino's success is that it is (L)GPL licensed.
When the executive decides that certain classified information is beneficial to them, they leak it and go unpunished. This happens on a weekly basis as a form of propaganda.
When the executive wants to retaliate against someone, they leak classified information and go unpunished, e.g. dick cheney revealing valerie plame.
If anyone else leaks classified information, the government goes after them with full force.
Given that the government has taken to classifying just about everything it does, this results in a propaganda machine where only information beneficial to the government tends to be revealed.
This. Exactly.
Terrorists are a sometimes-maybe-sorta threat. Government is much more terrifying because it is always there protecting itself rather than its citizens.
How do we fight this nonsense?
It goes way beyond the role of groups like the EFF... What groups can I support to prevent nonsense like this?
Actually in America, you have a greater chance of being struck by lightning on the way to your car in the morning than being killed by a terrorist.
But the sheeple and government tyrant's response is a little disproportionate don't ya think?
This will never work because it assumes that the purpose of the surveillance state is to 'fight terrorism'.
This is incorrect. The purpose of the surveillance state is to consolidate power in the hands of the elite. The target isn't terrorists using keywords like 'bomb' etc. The targets are everyone, using whatever words they use and doing whatever they do in their normal life.
The real intention is to give those at the top, unlimited, total information surveillance powers against their enemies, WHOMEVER they may be at any time. You want that supreme court decision to go your way? Read the private email and listen to the private conversations of the swing justice to gain insight to his thinking and shape your arguments correctly. If that fails, use the information to blackmail him.
You want to influence the elections? Analyze the big-data you have on the entire population in the voting district to figure out their private thoughts on issues and advertise accordingly.
You want to start a war? Use the knowledge you have to leverage the actors you have creating mainstream news to shape the country's views.
There were already laws against bombing or shooting people. The terrorism is the slight of hand that allows you to target people who have not committed crimes.
Yeah it's ok that the government killed a million people in illegal wars and is now guarding poppy fields in afghanistan and giving arms to al qaeda in syria. Who cares? It's over there and not here.
It's ok that they spy on us. It's only digital crap and "I" have nothing to hide.
It's ok that they get rid of all the rights and civil liberties that are ours by right. 1st ammendment, 4th and 5th ammendments. Hell even 2nd ammendment and habeas corpus. They're only doing it t certain people right, and it's not me so who cares?
Every single one of those views are held by people who aren't targets of people in power *right now*. What you don't realize is that allowing the government machine to do this to others just means they can do it to you to at any time of their choosing. You are not safe.
Of course the army is going to block access to the guardian. There have been several stories published there that prove the US government is listening to the private phone calls of the troops, including tape recording their phone sex and passing it around the office as entertainment.
Army officials are then quoted in the same articles as saying that the troops should know that their phone calls are not private.
I mean really, who wants the troops to know this and be all demoralized and shit, we need to spy on their sex lives in SECRET god damn you Glenn Greenwald.
Your post displays a naiveté so stunning that I would think you have never been around people.
For you to even say aloud that your stasi government is less of a threat than xyz really shows how ignorant you are of the fact that information is power and a monitored human is not a Free human.
Not to mention how you have no fucking concept that your economic Freedom is worse than a peasant in the 1300's.
A percentage of the harvest went to the lord of the manor (the land's lord, or landlord) the amount varied, but it was between 10% - 25% - an additional 10% went to the local church as a tithe. Compare that 20-35% tax rate to the combined 50-80% tax rate many in the developed world pay (the ones that don't suck on the government's tits).
How you doin' Eloi? is the food good? are you happy and eating well? Hey what do you care if we take some people away every now and again, it's not you!
Just keep grazing on your grass like a fat happy cow all the way to the slaughter, telling other people around you how it's not so bad after all, it could be worse.
To be honest, I feel all this will amount to some huffing and puffing at first, but in the end nothing will really change and the Average Jane and Joe will just live happily knowing their government is doing all this to stop those evil terrorists. They simply have no reason to believe anything to the contrary.

This underlines the philosophical difference between FreeBSD and Linux, and is why I remain a FreeBSD user.
Nah, that's a utilitarian difference.
The philosophical difference is quite another thing related to the licenses...

Well, except history.
And taxes that are a higher rate than feudal peasants paid.
If the whole world is fucked up, you're just claiming that you're less fucked up in comparison.
And you're wrong.
All politicians lie.
No exceptions.
If they weren't willing to lie, they'd never get elected.
What a fucking cop out. You should be ashamed to even float that line.
