I strongly agree with what you said. I hope you are not one of my schizophrenic alternate-personalities writing to me (note my signature quote). IOW, you sound much like what I am thinking.
There is now less Government in business, religion, politics... (AKA: Institutions), more freedom to exploit citizens, and far less freedoms and far more Government/Institution (RIAA, MS, DMCA...) intrusion and exploitation of Citizens life and workfare.
As long as the USA Constitution remains intact, our Citizens remain free to vote, and take back government in reasonably free, public, and open elections from the corporatist and plutocrats..., I remain a staunch defender of the USA Constitution, our Citizens, and elected politicians.
We must ALWAYS, VOTE-OUT any incumbent and then brand them with a real/electronic data tattoo to make sure they are never again elected anywhere in this world.
Same Old Shit is always Politics (AKA: Politically Correct [PC]).
The PC magic-trick spin, convert lies to votes. Sex=Sin=Morality=Damnation=Votes Crime=Reality=Theater=Violence=Votes Diseases=Dogma=Punishment=dirty=Votes Addiction=Drugs=Corruption=Evil=Votes Slang=Music=Destruction=Lies=Votes Poor=Laziness=Uneducated=Flaw=Votes... Well, I could continue....
A spun-truth is a story told that will never recognize the truth; therefore, never solve a problem; however, will provide PC votes.
Who voted for George Bush? Why vote for George Bush?
Who told the spun-truth? Why are PC stories told?
Politics is Politics... Democrats are Republicans... Republicans are Democrats... Citizens are People... Government for People is DEMOCRACY Corporatist Government is Tyranny by Tyrants
ALWAYS, VOTE-OUT any incumbent and then brand them with a tattoo to make sure they are never again elected anywhere in this world.
Taxing MegaChurches and Televangelist corporations is completely reasonable or make religious spun-truth and hate-speech fraud illegal and shut the ficking Pseudo-prophets down. God Saves by killing is their truth of all religious spun-stories.
REMEMBER: Gods do not kill people, Guns do not kill people, Only People kill people, Religious-truths kill folks, Politics as spun-truths kill folks, Democrats, Republicans... politicians kill US.
The politicization of science is like religious politics; is like economic politics; is like politicized history; is like political culture; is like diplomatic politics; is like...; all politically correct.
All bullshit, no substance, Spin, Frame, Revisionist, Marketeer... is like the politicization of truth.
It ain't reality, but it is profitable and the end is always paid for by poor sacrificial fools, unless it turns into a SNAFU like the Russian, French, Chinese... revolution where many/most/all of the privileged dogmatic and parochial clueless folks are lost, due to delusional personality inbreeding. GOD forgive them, because they never truly knew what they were doing to others and themselves.
Is the Copyright Royalty Board (CRB) organization the paid for (via proxy) by the RIAA, or the RIAA private DMCA persecution and enforcement organization?
This is as fascinating as other, newly legal, global organized crime [AKA: corporatist/plutocrat] activities.
RIAA wants more money... they get the right agencies/organizations to up the rates. These organizations and copyright don't represent or protect the artist they exist to exploit the artist and promote their corporatist/plutocrat gluttony for power and control of their customer-base.
Loan/housing/building companies provide low-rate adjustable loans when the interest is very low, real property has highly [housing market] inflated value... no one appears to notice that the balance is maintained to screew the public [What, HOW?]. As interest goes down... property goes up and vice... versa; So, the price can be high, with an adjustable in a short time of the loan-life both property and interest are highly inflated. As interest rates increase on inflation valued property, we proceed into an economic correction of repressive-recession to deplete any liquid assets (money in the bank), then as citizen financial problems and bankruptcies increase houses are sold cheap or foreclosed on, inflation increases decreasing buying power. Anyway, eventually you get back to the start of a "LOW INTEREST" cycle which is good for the folks that can afford a fixed rate mortgage. This is called churning, flipping, scalping... assets are criminal prosecuted fraudulence in business, but churning, flipping, scalping... when used by corporatist/plutocrats against the general public without legal or government representation is accepted as legal (well it ain't prosecuted/prevented).
Back 30/40 years ago 15% to 25% loan/credit rates were only obtained from "organized crime" loan-sharks. Today anyone with a credit card can get a legal loan-shark rate from legal federally certified "organized banks". I guess it means the credit card companies pledge not to break your legs or rape your daughter.
Big-tobacco, Fat-diet, sports... fraudulent products, pills, and gadgets are advertised and sold to the public and never prosecuted... if they agree to stop hawking an offending product and introduce a different fraudulent products, pills, and gadgets that can still make money as well as the previous snake-oil products.... there are far to many examples to list them all here or anyplace.
This ain't no democratic capitalist society in the USA, EU, Japan.... However, we do got the best totalitarian corporatist-socialism system, in which to live and raise your children, in the whole world. China, Russia, Mexico... are just Wannabees. GOD BLESS AMERICA
Oh, incase y'all or congress ain't aware yet the general public and government is financially broke. Most poor folks know you can only live a little while on borrowed money before you file bankruptcy for your children and the USA future.
For us, it's follow the leader (while acceleratingly) through the red light:-) I like the accuracy of your analogy. From the street corner I am standing on it appears most are acceleratingly with no understanding of the red light, or they are asleep at the wheel (?acceleratingly?).
Thanks you are one of the few folks out of many...many that understand how I mean "Reality is self-induced hallucination." it is open-content... as is anything I wright using oh21 or variations. As a matter of fact I know Anon(%~o)Ymous is the original author.
It is nice to have my simple subtlety appreciated, because it is my one-and-only favorite quote I attribute to my observation of humanity/self.
Your eloquence is almost poetic with understanding.
The herd instinct, I think may be part of the homosapien-sapien (HSS) species.
If there is a homosapien-prescient (HSP) species evolved beyond primitive fears and tribal mythologies; Well, keeping a low profile would be a survival skill. The HSS/SS would burn any HSP at the stake as a blood-sacrifice offerings to whichever mythic gods of the HSS evil dark doom mythological stories. HSS do love to blame their pagan-gods/GOD for every problem and sociopathic/genocidal war that HSS create on earth.
As a HSP once said; "It is far better to die a human, then live like a diseased sick animal." Weapons of war have become our suicidal/homicidal species fangs and claws. If there are truly any HSP, the comparison would be like the Neanderthal/Erectus,... to HSS, not much difference, but maybe a survivor with a less-earthly and more-cosmic destiny than which the HSS is functionally capable.
I guess we folks of the HSS species (as murderous war-lovers) will be looked upon as the great extinct ancestor species of HSP... well if there were any such thing as an HSP species. I mean, "Reality is self-induced hallucination." or I can hope?
Get Fycking Real, No Ficking Change, all is right with the world of US, EU, and....
FYI: US, EU... it is horrible to have our beliefs destroyed by reality, but we all live in totalitarian nations. Fortunately for US, EU and some others it has allowed US and EU to maintain a delusional believe that we have enough cake and can eat cake forever. Let's not blame terrorist for US and EU citizens being fools.
I refer you and all political/religious dogmatist to "http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/P._T._Barnum" for a few appropriate comments on the state of the supposed religion democracies.
You can fool some of the people all of the time; you can fool all of the people some of the time, but you can never fool all of the people all of the time. However, most of the time most of US, EU... are the exploitable fools of flag-waving faux-patriots, bible-thumping pseudo-prophets, history-revisionist plutocrats/corporatist marketeers.
A few more appropriate sayings about fools like US, EU.... * A fool and his money are soon parted. * Every crowd has a silver lining. * No one went broke underestimating public taste. * I don't care what they say about me, just make sure they spell my name right! * You'll never go broke underestimating the intelligence of the American people. * There is a sucker born every minute
Just yesterday I heard the USA VP (the P prior too) say "stating a time table or schedule... tells the terrorist...." Well folks I can say if we had not been fooled to go there in the first place, then there would be allot less terrorist getting real hands on training killing our Warriors, brothers, sisters, moms and dads... and the whole region would not be totally destabilized for further emergence of more terrorist [THANKS YOU VERY MUCH P&VP].
All US, EU... citizens should laugh, because it is far to painful... if you don't laugh at yourself!
An unsettling perspective/comment on beliefs is not troll/flame... just reality as I perceive it. "Reality is self-induced hallucination."
Ignore all beast/bastards/bitches... until injury value requires... then sue for max-damages.
The anonymous/alias-source never has any credibility in private, public, internet... and will never have any reasonable credibility in any court.
The reality, on the internet, we all make ourselves public figures in a public environment and must accept the personal responsibility of a public figure and get on with our life.
All community/social commons/websites on the internet allow everyone to be themselves in an Avatar Populated Experience Simulation (APES). Incognito-persona/Alias-anonymity is essential to the internet APES social dynamics.
Privacy on the internet is always yours to create (self-defense). On all community/social commons/websites, abusive/free expression is part of the commons environment and cannot be avoided/controlled.
For work, business, legal... areas we must use our personal private information in a hopefully secure intranet where any anonymous/alias post should never be possible/allowed. However, that does not preclude the existence of a more public unofficial APES commons where personal private names, known publicly available information (what job type not where, what car type/color not VIN/TAG, When/Where past never present/future...) remarks that would directly/intentionally contribute too the endangerment/harm of life/nature/property should be illegal, but embarrassing, insightful, informative, abusive, funny... comments/interactions with an APES persona on the internet/intranet has no significance/credibility (unless made by god-connected televangelist).
IOW: If you embarrass that easily, then grow up, get over it, because APES bullshit/comments will never make/break anyone anywhere ever. Well you could just stay off the internet, not use email, get rid of your cellphone, become a god and prevent all personal insults and critics (Oh, GFL).
MS now has a Halliburton US2007FedSpeak translator on the payroll. What MS is really saying clearly in US-FedSpeak is "we have more purchased congressional representatives that will tell you different, punish you for speaking in English rather then meaningless US-FedSpeak, and send a few of your friends/family to a clandestine location in eastern EU."
I am surprised so few folks understand the US-FedSpeak (Intel-Camo) that has been in use for over four years now. The Clinton era used US-FedSpeak (Prick-Camo). The Reagan era used US-FedSpeak (Alzhe-Camo). USA political-truth "Image Elects Ethical Defects (IED)." Maybe four years from now we will all know the new US-FedSpeak (Crone-Camo, probably).
Okay, you're right sick/dark humor is not always funny [even when appropriate?], because some truth is always needed for any good joke routine.
We support democracy in other nations, because we know that anarchy works best here in the USA.
The federal government institutions are just diplomatic camouflage (dip-camo) for fools and other countries.
The religious anarchrist, corporatist anarhist, and plutocrat/dogma anarfascist all strongly support a kinder, gentler, freer anarchist nation and society. Why pay for poorly educated, fed, sheltered... citizens when it would just reduce the recruiting pool for our military.
There are many wealthy North and South American anarchist families that praise god regularly for the family welfare provided by government institution providing a job (as representative, senator, president) and prestige (publicly presentable dip-camo) for their marginal producers in their families.
Is it any wounder that theft of $1B has a smaller prison sentence then armed-robbery for $50. Serial killers get death sentences, mass murders get a slap on the back and glowing approval from family friends.
SO, lets not make a mountain out of a molehill, just try to put it all in perspective of your pitiful blight in life. I mean, tough shit, if you think things should be better the homeless in America, Europe, China, Russia, India, Iran, Sudan, Egypt, Saud-Land... anyplace. The anarchist-aristocracy provide enough of what is needed to maintain our status-quo [PTL].
Dang, just another bunch of clueless winnie whiners with nothing to do and to much time and money... GO get a life and job.
PS - This is not troll/Flamebait, it is sick/dark-humor [!HAVEFUN!].
Do you only squat-on and post-to "/.", and who financially donates to your living standard.
Over the past year alone there has been many postings of articles, comments, and URL/Links related to Wikipedia, Google, Novel, Edu content and resources, OSS developers... on "/.".
I am perplexed that anyone who keeps up with current technology events on/., 2600, Wired, Technology Review, San Jose Mercury a/o... would not consider your questions as having the intent to fain ignorance with obvious prevarication to obfuscate a disingenuous self-serving marketeer (musketeer like) agenda to churn-turn serious discussion away from this topic/subject.
The facts are FSF/GPL/GNU, Linux, OSS, Open Standards, Open Content, Open Courseware, Open Knowledge Initiative, Open Biz-Models, Open Market Architecture, Open Government... are having a significant impact on education, business, global markets, governments....
MicroSoft (MS) is big and strong, but their growth is limited in this new vibrant and developing Open-World-Market. MS needs to open up or in another 20 to 30 years they will close up, just like many others corporations in the past that forgot to be inclusive and behaved as exclusive from new disruptive market dynamics.
No genetics and survival of the fittest depends on knowing what others fear, deny, and/or evade. Curiosity, depends on genetics and survival of the fittest, to have the courage to overcome our fear, deny flight/fight lower brain functions, and invade the unknown to learn and survive.
So curiosity created mythology, mythology allows gods to exist and explain the unknown, and curiosity allows unknowns to exist a little longer than the human-science observation/discovery of the obvious.
IOW: Gods are just VR [AKA: fiction/fantasy] definitions of the unknown by fearful and superstitious humans until reality is known. NOTE: A dogmatist fears, denies, and evades all facts and evidence that conflict with their delusional schizoid superstitions.
It is natural and genetic based for humans to question and seek answers; however, a dogmatist is adelophobic, and can only accept that their dogma beliefs provide all answers to all possible question.
The adelophobic dogmatist always have a potential for sociopathic reactionary behavior that would eliminate any guilt response to the murder of another human that they are convinced threatens their dogma (reality) beliefs. The adelophobic dogmatist is extreamly delusional and believes that there are significant very real rewards for their dogmatic acts of murder, genocide, suicide....
Fortunately we are humans (not cats) curiosity does not cause our death, but the delusions of the mentally ill and emotionally unstable adelophobic dogmatist may seek direct/proxy action another humans death. Pity the mentally ill, but be aware and vigilant... very aware of those crazy folks.
Luddite legacy IPR good for some bad for US, because you cannot enforce the present IPR laws (due to technology always changes) globally or locally; Therefor, the Luddite legacy IPR laws are failures
Luddite legacy (industrial-age) IPR is a failure and exceptionally harmful to US, EU... and other well developed economies that blindly insist on continuing a failed IPR system, you change words and phrases, but maintain the anti-competitive structure of an International Luddite legacy IPR system. It is time for US and EU to lead the international community in moving towards a Global Open-competition economic architecture and quickly away from protectionist legacy economic models. A Global Open-competition economic architecture that rewards productive innovation and deters creative, developmental, research... sharing of information.
An IPR system needs to reward performance and productivity. (1) We must allow globally the free (non-monetary/financial) use and sharing of all information, copyrights, patents...; ALSO, we must reward all owners of information, copyrights, patents... production/services that has a marketable product financial value (including when it wins friends/influences people). (2) No IPR holder can prevent free (non-monetary/financial) use by any person, company... country for creativity, product development, scientific research... educational sharing (Binding court arbitration on the proportional sharing of performance profits). (3) All IPR falls in the public-domain, but all property falls in the (as determined by law and court) public or private. (4) Obvious/Public patents/IPR will be determined at the time of binding court arbitration (judge and independent empaneled topic experts) on the proportional sharing of performance profits, and any attempt by an arbitration participant to defraud the court or other participants will be considered criminal (big fine, 2-10 years in jail).
I think, EFF, ACLU, and the FSF-GPL folks could manage developing a damn good and functional International Open-IPR treaty, but the USA Congress, EU, and others are still beholding to the corporatist special-interest more than the Public's/Citizens' and/or National interest. IPRs should be productivity based control... not I filed it, I got it, you cannot have or use it (which is counter productive stupidity).
AC is indeed insightful, because to be insightful you must be observant of situations, people, processes... and then be able to (via epiphany or logic) derive a reasonable or accurate description of facts and/or causes of the situations, people, processes... conditions.
I do not know who AC is, but if I did I would click-friend the person AC. AC's ability to observe and derive personal conclusions that indeed do reflect reality in the USA, EU, China, Russia, Canada, Mexico... is beyond insightful... it is prescient. I regret that I have no moderator points today to provide to AC.
Ditto: "I know you're telling the truth but do you mind sharing *why* you feel this way? This comment doesn't deserve an "Insightful" rating unless he can back it up." This is a statement in conflict (I feel) with logical use of words. You know AC is truthful implies that you may be in possession of facts that would support AC's insightful observations, but then you ask AC for feelings, rather than more facts to support those you appear to already have obtained by some real data collection. It was just odd to me the way you worded your comment, which I understand when folks use ESL. The support you provided to AC... I am sure is appreciated by AC.
JonWan: "Well customers do have rights, but so do businesses." is incorrect, because rights as in "Civil/Human Rights" cannot be reserved or legislated to cover any institutions with "RIGHTS". Institutions (society, businesses, governments, religions, clubs, marriage...) are created by "Civil Law" mandated by "Human Citizens" any institution can be dissolved, terminated, destroyed... by "Civil Law" when mandated by "Human Citizens" for whatever reason. However, when a "Human Citizens" is destroyed, terminated, dissolved... by an institution then a crime against humanity has occurred, this is true for capital-punishment, war, famine, genocide...:"FOR ME" only self-defense to protect the life of family, friends, others and self is justifiable, but might be punishable by an institutions following the letters of the law, legal yes, but never would it be justice. Institutions cannot think, feel, and/or act in anyway, institutions are inanimate objects created and controlled by "Human Citizens". My observations, make me believe, that USA prison populations should be 50/50, one half murders, pedophiles, drug-dealers... the other half should be politicians, CEOs/CFOs, market-traders, pseudo-prophet/televangelists....
Having said the above, please notice I do not include SBA/AFF [Small Business Americans or American Family Farmers in the Western Hemisphere]. I know the SBA/AFF are as fucked as the rest of US, EU....
I know acronyms, but it should be expressed with government terms Cyber Attack Response Mutually Assured (CARMA) Destruction/Terror/... [CARMAD, CARMAT...] I am sure there will eventually be more than one cute acronym for US.
Oh, I strongly believe it is About Fucking Time (AFT) that China, North Korea, Russia, France, Iran, Ireland, Austrailia, Japan... others understand we are prepared and deadly serious about making money for the wealthy and will totally fuckup friends and foes alike for any virtual attack on US.
DAMN, I mean, everyone has (or is getting) nuclear weapons it ain't like we can scare other nations/politicians/dictators/... with MAD or anything less-than a strong CARMA-D/T/whatever defensive response.
Fantastic, donate computers to schools, take a tax deduction, make money from adverts, make more dogma child-bots, elect George Bush II (or Jana) for president in 2025. gODD bLess the ewe ESS (big mesh mess), corporatism and corporate welfare at its best working for profit before democracy or capitalism. Anyway FTA
This is all hysterically funny in a very dark/sick-humor sort of way it only cost US about a few thousand Warriors as of today, maybe more of our children tomorrow.
Plutocrats for corporatism-welfare have nothing to do with Democracy, Capitalism, Civil Rights a/o Religious Freedom, but plutocrats' minions in news, politics, religion... the public will spin reasonable a/o believable lies (out of truth) for the pseudo-savant talking-heads in media, government, religion, public, and military. We USA Citizens owe our souls to the company store and for the last 50 years or more we continue to ask for more loss of life, liberty, happiness, hope, dreams, security....
I mean you get a BJ in the "O", you get impeached for lying to congress about performing private and personal sex acts. That was hysterically funny in a very dark/sick-humor sort of way and shouted the truth about US in America.
Now we have a GB in the "O", that won't get impeached for lying to congress about everything that got us into a personally rewarding war for his family, friends, and nepotism cronies that cost US the life and limbs of Moms, Dads, Brothers, and Sisters.
Hysterically funny in a very dark/sick-humor sort of way. Summary: A BJ in the "O" is more a criminal act then war profiteering and causing the deaths of thousands of USA Warriors, global, regional, and USA security destabilization, economic and energy run-away inflation (Between Iraq start and now, the USA $ is less-than half-value to the Euro $), USA Education of our children is adequate for crop-picking, burger-flipping, drug-dealing and easily exploited public.
Hysterically funny in a very dark/sick-humor sort of way. The lassie-fare reign of royalty that starts with let them watch TV (Paris). The Pax-Romana reign of might that made very human entertainment right (Rome).
I always liked the acronym LEIA, Learning Environment Independent Architecture (LEIA), Independent as in "Open Standards, Open Source, Open Content, Open Learning" always free from authoritarian control or domination by someone or anything. [AKA: Learning-governed by Reality, Facts, Science, Math, Humanities, Arts/Cultures...]
Learning should not be controlled by government, politics, corporations, plutocrats, revisionist, religious-dogmatist.... Learning tainted by religious, business, and/or political greed, hypocrisy, dogma, fraud... is a lie with trivial value to humanity or any nation/culture including US & EU.
My understanding of Ayn Rand is as an existentialist story teller [AKA: writer/philosopher].
Yes, I agree Ayn Rand was an objectivist; However, as an objectivist the story/philosophy must be equally skeptical of the wisdom of self and crowds. As an existentialist, you decide for only yourself (no others). As an objective existentialist, you may decide for only yourself (no others) which (self, crowd,...) wisdom/philosophy a/o decision [AKA: The Experience and Knowledge (TEK)] is the best.
Ayn Rand the existential objectivist cannot reserve skepticism for just the crowd and remain "Objective".

there are truly any HSP, the comparison would be like the Neanderthal/Erectus,
HSS, not much difference, but maybe a survivor with a less-earthly and more-cosmic
destiny than which the HSS is functionally capable.
I guess we folks of the HSS species (as murderous war-lovers) will be looked upon
as the great extinct ancestor species of HSP
as an HSP species. I mean, "Reality is self-induced hallucination." or I can hope?
!HAVEFUN!
Just working for them (elected) now and then could be quite enough?
Get Fycking Real, No Ficking Change, all is right with the world of US, EU, and ....
... it is horrible to have our beliefs destroyed by reality, but we all live in totalitarian nations. Fortunately for US, EU and some others it has allowed US and EU to maintain a delusional believe that we have enough cake and can eat cake forever. Let's not blame terrorist for US and EU citizens being fools.
... are the

... tells the terrorist ...." Well folks I can say if we had not been fooled to go there in the first place, then there would be allot less terrorist getting real hands on training killing our Warriors, brothers, sisters, moms and dads ... and the whole region would not be totally destabilized for further emergence of more terrorist [THANKS YOU VERY MUCH P&VP].
... citizens should laugh, because it is far to painful ... if you don't laugh at yourself!
... just reality as I perceive it.
FYI: US, EU
I refer you and all political/religious dogmatist to "http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/P._T._Barnum" for a few appropriate comments on the state of the supposed religion democracies.
You can fool some of the people all of the time;
you can fool all of the people some of the time,
but you can never fool all of the people all of the time.
However, most of the time most of US, EU
exploitable fools of flag-waving faux-patriots, bible-thumping
pseudo-prophets, history-revisionist plutocrats/corporatist marketeers.
A few more appropriate sayings about fools like US, EU
* A fool and his money are soon parted.
* Every crowd has a silver lining.
* No one went broke underestimating public taste.
* I don't care what they say about me, just make sure they spell my name right!
* You'll never go broke underestimating the intelligence of the American people.
* There is a sucker born every minute
Just yesterday I heard the USA VP (the P prior too) say "stating a time table or schedule

An unsettling perspective/comment on beliefs is not troll/flame
"Reality is self-induced hallucination."
This is all JMO:
... ...
... and will never have any
... areas we must use our personal private ...) remarks that would directly/intentionally contribute ...
Ignore all beast/bastards/bitches
until injury value requires
then sue for max-damages.
The anonymous/alias-source never has any credibility in
private, public, internet
reasonable credibility in any court.
The reality, on the internet, we all make ourselves public
figures in a public environment and must accept the personal
responsibility of a public figure and get on with our life.
All community/social commons/websites on the internet allow
everyone to be themselves in an Avatar Populated Experience
Simulation (APES). Incognito-persona/Alias-anonymity
is essential to the internet APES social dynamics.
Privacy on the internet is always yours to create (self-defense).
On all community/social commons/websites, abusive/free expression
is part of the commons environment and cannot be avoided/controlled.
For work, business, legal
information in a hopefully secure intranet where any anonymous/alias
post should never be possible/allowed. However, that does not preclude
the existence of a more public unofficial APES commons where personal
private names, known publicly available information (what job type
not where, what car type/color not VIN/TAG, When/Where past never
present/future
too the endangerment/harm of life/nature/property should be illegal, but
embarrassing, insightful, informative, abusive, funny
comments/interactions with an APES persona on the internet/intranet has
no significance/credibility (unless made by god-connected televangelist).
IOW: If you embarrass that easily, then grow up, get over it, because APES
bullshit/comments will never make/break anyone anywhere ever. Well you could
just stay off the internet, not use email, get rid of your cellphone, become
a god and prevent all personal insults and critics (Oh, GFL).
MS now has a Halliburton US2007FedSpeak translator on the payroll. What MS is really saying clearly in US-FedSpeak is "we have more purchased congressional representatives that will tell you different, punish you for speaking in English rather then meaningless US-FedSpeak, and send a few of your friends/family to a clandestine location in eastern EU."
I am surprised so few folks understand the US-FedSpeak (Intel-Camo) that has been in use for over four years now. The Clinton era used US-FedSpeak (Prick-Camo). The Reagan era used US-FedSpeak (Alzhe-Camo). USA political-truth "Image Elects Ethical Defects (IED)." Maybe four years from now we will all know the new US-FedSpeak (Crone-Camo, probably).
Okay, you're right sick/dark humor is not always funny [even when appropriate?], because some truth is always needed for any good joke routine.
We support democracy in other nations, because we know that anarchy works best here in the USA.
... citizens when it would just reduce the recruiting pool for our military.
... anyplace. The anarchist-aristocracy provide enough of what is needed to maintain our status-quo [PTL].
... GO get a life and job.
The federal government institutions are just diplomatic camouflage (dip-camo) for fools and other countries.
The religious anarchrist, corporatist anarhist, and plutocrat/dogma anarfascist all strongly support a kinder, gentler, freer anarchist nation and society. Why pay for poorly educated, fed, sheltered
There are many wealthy North and South American anarchist families that praise god regularly for the family welfare provided by government institution providing a job (as representative, senator, president) and prestige (publicly presentable dip-camo) for their marginal producers in their families.
Is it any wounder that theft of $1B has a smaller prison sentence then armed-robbery for $50. Serial killers get death sentences, mass murders get a slap on the back and glowing approval from family friends.
SO, lets not make a mountain out of a molehill, just try to put it all in perspective of your pitiful blight in life. I mean, tough shit, if you think things should be better the homeless in America, Europe, China, Russia, India, Iran, Sudan, Egypt, Saud-Land
Dang, just another bunch of clueless winnie whiners with nothing to do and to much time and money
PS - This is not troll/Flamebait, it is sick/dark-humor [!HAVEFUN!].

MicroSoft (MS) is big and strong, but their growth is limited in this new vibrant and developing Open-World-Market. MS needs to open up or in another 20 to 30 years they will close up, just like many others corporations in the past that forgot to be inclusive and behaved as exclusive from new disruptive market dynamics.
No genetics and survival of the fittest depends on knowing what others fear, deny, and/or evade.
....
... very aware of those crazy folks.
Curiosity, depends on genetics and survival of the fittest, to have the courage to overcome our
fear, deny flight/fight lower brain functions, and invade the unknown to learn and survive.
So curiosity created mythology, mythology allows gods to exist and explain the unknown, and curiosity
allows unknowns to exist a little longer than the human-science observation/discovery of the obvious.
IOW: Gods are just VR [AKA: fiction/fantasy] definitions of the unknown by fearful and superstitious
humans until reality is known. NOTE: A dogmatist fears, denies, and evades all facts and evidence that
conflict with their delusional schizoid superstitions.
It is natural and genetic based for humans to question and seek answers; however, a dogmatist is
adelophobic, and can only accept that their dogma beliefs provide all answers to all possible question.
The adelophobic dogmatist always have a potential for sociopathic reactionary behavior that would
eliminate any guilt response to the murder of another human that they are convinced threatens their
dogma (reality) beliefs. The adelophobic dogmatist is extreamly delusional and believes that there are
significant very real rewards for their dogmatic acts of murder, genocide, suicide
Fortunately we are humans (not cats) curiosity does not cause our death, but the delusions of the
mentally ill and emotionally unstable adelophobic dogmatist may seek direct/proxy action another
humans death. Pity the mentally ill, but be aware and vigilant
Luddite legacy IPR good for some bad for US, because you cannot enforce the present IPR laws (due to technology always changes) globally or locally; Therefor, the Luddite legacy IPR laws are failures
... and other well developed economies that blindly insist on continuing a failed IPR system, you change words and phrases, but maintain the anti-competitive structure of an International Luddite legacy IPR system. It is time for US and EU to lead the international community in moving towards a Global Open-competition economic architecture and quickly away from protectionist legacy economic models. A Global Open-competition economic architecture that rewards productive innovation and deters creative, developmental, research ... sharing of information.
...; ALSO, we must reward all owners of information, copyrights, patents ... production/services that has a marketable product financial value (including when it wins friends/influences people). (2) No IPR holder can prevent free (non-monetary/financial) use by any person, company ... country for creativity, product development, scientific research ... educational sharing (Binding court arbitration on the proportional sharing of performance profits). (3) All IPR falls in the public-domain, but all property falls in the (as determined by law and court) public or private. (4) Obvious/Public patents/IPR will be determined at the time of binding court arbitration (judge and independent empaneled topic experts) on the proportional sharing of performance profits, and any attempt by an arbitration participant to defraud the court or other participants will be considered criminal (big fine, 2-10 years in jail).
... not I filed it, I got it, you cannot have or use it (which is counter productive stupidity).
Luddite legacy (industrial-age) IPR is a failure and exceptionally harmful to US, EU
An IPR system needs to reward performance and productivity. (1) We must allow globally the free (non-monetary/financial) use and sharing of all information, copyrights, patents
I think, EFF, ACLU, and the FSF-GPL folks could manage developing a damn good and functional International Open-IPR treaty, but the USA Congress, EU, and others are still beholding to the corporatist special-interest more than the Public's/Citizens' and/or National interest. IPRs should be productivity based control
AC is indeed insightful, because to be insightful you must be observant of situations, people, processes ... and then be able to (via epiphany or logic) derive a reasonable or accurate description of facts and/or causes of the situations, people, processes ... conditions.

However, when a "Human Citizens" is destroyed, terminated, dissolved ... by an institution then a crime against humanity has occurred, this is true for capital-punishment, war, famine, genocide ... :"FOR ME" only self-defense to protect the life of family, friends, others and self is justifiable, but might be punishable by an institutions following the letters of the law, legal yes, but never would it be justice. Institutions cannot think, feel, and/or act in anyway, institutions are inanimate objects created and controlled by "Human Citizens". My observations, make me believe, that USA prison populations should be 50/50, one half murders, pedophiles, drug-dealers ... the other half should be politicians, CEOs/CFOs, market-traders, pseudo-prophet/televangelists ....
....
I do not know who AC is, but if I did I would click-friend the person AC. AC's ability to observe and derive personal conclusions that indeed do reflect reality in the USA, EU, China, Russia, Canada, Mexico
Ditto: "I know you're telling the truth but do you mind sharing *why* you feel this way? This comment doesn't deserve an "Insightful" rating unless he can back it up." This is a statement in conflict (I feel) with logical use of words. You know AC is truthful implies that you may be in possession of facts that would support AC's insightful observations, but then you ask AC for feelings, rather than more facts to support those you appear to already have obtained by some real data collection. It was just odd to me the way you worded your comment, which I understand when folks use ESL. The support you provided to AC
JonWan: "Well customers do have rights, but so do businesses." is incorrect, because rights as in "Civil/Human Rights" cannot be reserved or legislated to cover any institutions with "RIGHTS". Institutions (society, businesses, governments, religions, clubs, marriage
Having said the above, please notice I do not include SBA/AFF [Small Business Americans or American Family Farmers in the Western Hemisphere]. I know the SBA/AFF are as fucked as the rest of US, EU

This is all hysterically funny in a very dark/sick-humor
sort of way it only cost US about a few thousand Warriors
as of today, maybe more of our children tomorrow.
Plutocrats for corporatism-welfare have nothing to do with
Democracy, Capitalism, Civil Rights a/o Religious Freedom,
but plutocrats' minions in news, politics, religion
the public will spin reasonable a/o believable lies (out
of truth) for the pseudo-savant talking-heads in media,
government, religion, public, and military. We USA Citizens
owe our souls to the company store and for the last 50 years
or more we continue to ask for more loss of life, liberty,
happiness, hope, dreams, security
I mean you get a BJ in the "O", you get impeached for lying
to congress about performing private and personal sex acts.
That was hysterically funny in a very dark/sick-humor
sort of way and shouted the truth about US in America.
Now we have a GB in the "O", that won't get impeached for lying
to congress about everything that got us into a personally
rewarding war for his family, friends, and nepotism cronies that
cost US the life and limbs of Moms, Dads, Brothers, and Sisters.
Hysterically funny in a very dark/sick-humor sort of way.
Summary: A BJ in the "O" is more a criminal act then war
profiteering and causing the deaths of thousands of USA
Warriors, global, regional, and USA security destabilization,
economic and energy run-away inflation (Between Iraq start and
now, the USA $ is less-than half-value to the Euro $), USA
Education of our children is adequate for crop-picking,
burger-flipping, drug-dealing and easily exploited public.
Hysterically funny in a very dark/sick-humor sort of way.

I always liked the acronym LEIA, Learning Environment Independent Architecture (LEIA), Independent as in "Open Standards, Open Source, Open Content, Open Learning" always free from authoritarian control or domination by someone or anything. [AKA: Learning-governed by Reality, Facts, Science, Math, Humanities, Arts/Cultures ...]
.... Learning tainted by religious, business, and/or political greed, hypocrisy, dogma, fraud ... is a lie with trivial value to humanity or any nation/culture including US & EU.
Learning should not be controlled by government, politics, corporations, plutocrats, revisionist, religious-dogmatist
My understanding of Ayn Rand is as an existentialist story teller [AKA: writer/philosopher].
...) wisdom/philosophy a/o decision [AKA: The Experience and Knowledge (TEK)] is the best.
Yes, I agree Ayn Rand was an objectivist; However, as an objectivist the story/philosophy must be equally skeptical of the wisdom of self and crowds. As an existentialist, you decide for only yourself (no others). As an objective existentialist, you may decide for only yourself (no others) which (self, crowd,
Ayn Rand the existential objectivist cannot reserve skepticism for just the crowd and remain "Objective".
