As far as I know he didn't have any government information on his AOL account and at best minor information in his account.
Just did a quick check:
The Times further reported that there is nothing "classified or hip" in Brennan's AOL account, and it dates to the days when he was CIA station chief in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. However, if accurate, the material is at least sensitive, given that the SF86 form discloses contact information for Brennan's relatives and professional connections. http://arstechnica.com/tech-po...
re Gates!? I don't know how that got in there.:-)
But still. The point remains. What did Brennan do that was incompetent?
Which farms did NYC people rob? I live in NYC. Except for a few areas (the Rockaways, Coney Island, Staten Island) NYC was not hit hard. And even in those areas things didn't break down to the level you're making it out to be. It was an adventure. There was water. There was food. There were good people helping out their neighbors.
Communism requires FORCE to succeed (unless it's a community in which people can join and leave at their pleasure). This is actually an example of the free market where people create something from the ground up rather a top-down government bureaucracy system.
Either that or it's a means of exchange and not a means of valuing currency. Why are you so vested in giving American Express, Master Card and other banks 2-3% of the economy in order to guarantee cash-less transactions?
Socialism is antithetical to Liberalism. Now that socialist / progressives have co-opted the label "Liberalism" your point falls apart. Socialist are collectivists and are hostile to the individualism which is the founding principle of Liberalism.
The phrase is "FALSELY crying fire". The operative word is FALSELY. You are not prosecuted for what you said but the carnage that came afterwords from you uttering a LIE.
This is different than a disagreement over political or scientific issues. The former causes an immediate panic which results in bodily and property harm. The later simply annoyance (and perhaps anger) in the listener.
That's not true. It's that we feel it is not the federal governments role. AND, if the government was not taking so much from you
gasoline tax (state government makes more money than OPEC or Big Oil)
sales tax on just about everything but food
hidden taxes everywhere
and lets not forget income tax, real estate tax....
The government, by a Libertarian's standard, would collect use taxes for key activities and the population (that means YOU) would know that the more you expected from the government the less it could do well and, concurrently, the more power you gave to it the more oppressive it would become.
There are a whole slew of actions. They do require a little effort though.
Write a physical letter to the hospital.
If no response a week later. Call.
If no response from calls and follow ups then
---- Send it certified (you will get a response).
Send response to credit agencies and bill collection agency.
Ask collection agency for a letter of clearance.
If no response send it certified.
If no response it doesn't matter if it's cleared from credit reports.
However if it isn't removed by the collection agencies OR you insist on complete closure and the collection agency doesn't respond the go and file a small claims suit. You WILL get a response. If you are in the right it WILL be dismissed.
Cost: Time and effort and perhaps some money ($4.00 for each certified letter and $20.00 or so for the small claims court filing).
Exactly. Speech should never be considered part of monitory considerations as far as campaigns are considered. Looks like we're over regulating. Don't you think?
This is not a teacher union issue. It's the definition of campaign finance reform. Whoops - here's an unintended consequence of having such moronic laws.
A free market exchange exists when we have something to trade and the we don't need a bureaucrats say-so. You want me to take a van full of stuff from place A to place B and we agree on price (dollar, barter, whatever) and we don't need a bureaucrat's say so for me to load and transport the good then that, my friend, is a free-market exchange.
Don't worry about it. In the cities and other places where people congregate there will always be a place for retail spaces. In rural areas less so but yes they will go gently into that good night. No violence except in your mind. Industries come and go all the time. Real estate is reutilized all the time.
As a counter point - schools, as currently operated, should go out of business and would if not for an entrenched government - subsidized monopoly. Now that waste of talent, time and real estate will still be around, still operating in the same bloated, ridiculous manner years from now. You want violence. See changing that .
Keep believing your rhetoric. The communist ideal will never occur by the rule of law. You can have your communist utopia but not if you have to FORCE others to live by your ideals. As not all people want to live in such a system you have two choices: do as China and Russia did and try to force others to obey (create a homo sovieticus); or have a community of like-minded people and not be coercive in your approach. (In other words you don't use laws to institute your ideal world).
Should you force others to follow you then you will once again create the fascist dictatorship that you think has nothing to do with communism.
You did in the sense that it is not sponsored by a government and required legal tender in a particular jurisdiction.
However, if your definition of a fiat currency is simply "a currency not backed by a physical object" then you're partially / perhaps correct that bitcoin is a fiat currency. It all depends on how you define the value of solving hashes. Such solutions are obviously not gold, silver, diamonds, tea or some other such physical object. But neither is the value simply changed at the whim of a government bureaucrat. This is where the line becomes blurred.
How about you work to making noiseless generators? Invest in companies creating it?
If you live in a city there are thousands of HVAC systems that are very loud. Everybody wants quiet HVAC systems; and odorless restaurants; and ratless/roachless buildings. But... for some strange reason we still have these problems.
But you know the reason - it's evil industry that refuses to address these issues (evil data centers, evil restaurants, evil builders, evil building owners. They're all evil. Except for you. You're a victim suffering under the oppression of living next to restaurants and stores and in buildings that use central air conditioners.
Libertarians don't oppose this. The companies publishing papers don't have a "right" to stay in business.
While the current system may have made sense in the days of physically published journals it doesn't anymore.
Authors aren't paid.
Authors provide articles in required format.
Reviewers aren't paid
There is no need for this industry to remain. There is no need for the government to subsidize them. And Libertarians don't support the subsidizing of companies.
The only reason to keep the information private is if the researchers (authors) of the article wanted to keep it behind closed doors. Which, of course, doesn't make much sense. Why would one publish something if one wanted to keep the research private.
The only libertarians who may argue for this are those who don't understand that the creators of the information and the reviewers of the information (the parties responsible for the intellectual content) want the information to be disseminated and they don't directly receive compensation for their research. (Of course the University system has the "publish or perish" concept. But that's a separate issue regarding compensation.)
If SF is like NYC it has nothing to do with property owners but people who want to stick it to "evil" developers. Whoops. That means fewer places to live and prices go up.
You're not including all the CYA procedures and you're conveniently not including procedures that hospitals add in order to protect themselves. It may not be 75% but it's substantial.
Just look at the cost of malpractice insurance in 1960 and 2010. If you were a doctor and had to pay $500,000/year in insurance as opposed to $25,000 how much more would you have to charge each patient? How many more CYA procedures would you authorize?
Again, there may not be a 75% reduction but it would be a hell of a lot more than 5%.
King and 6th bomb. Funny how nobody heard about it until about 10 years later. Please come up with news articles or blogs written in September 2001. (Not 2010)
I lived in Brooklyn. Debris (paper) from the WTC was in my yard. I worked in Jersey City and took the Path train from WTC everyday. I followed the news intensely at the time. I never heard of these events you're mentioning.

Why is this insightful? What did Gates do that was incompetent? Oh. He had an AOL account. What a F**king dinosaur. Of course he's incompetent.
I ask again - what did Gates do that " is a demonstration of his utter incompetence"?

Things did not fall apart. The center did hold.

/sarcasm
<sarcasm> Are you a shill?
Which politicians? The last I heard was McCain. It wasn't that he didn't understand it - it was that he couldn't type due to physical injuries.
Which politician, in today's world (not 1986 or 1996) doesn't know how to use email?

Wow! An article and a comment promoting deregulation of an entrenched business!
Very nice!!! Keep up the good work.

How about posting it on line? That seems to work for a lot of things.
Would there be costs? Yes. Minor. Instead of $200+ for a journal subscription one could get access to all journals for what? $10.00 a yr?
