Dude, you just fucked up. Cuba's health system is the best in "Latin" America, and is in many ways better then the USA's. Tell me how that is a failure?
Because Cuban doctors can't buy the good US golf balls?
I enjoyed your post, but I had a slight problem until I realized that "...who do at least understand that the way to knowledge is to look for yourself." wasn't meant in a zen sense.
Are we basing our "security" on stifling curiosity? Will this eventually lead to profiling folks who ask questions - "Why does this bubble when I mix these?"
If kiddies can't ask these kinds of questions - and are prohibited from having tools with which to seek answers, where are we headed?
Hmm - wasn't it just a few years ago that Prince had a major dustup with BMI (or whatever label), so that he could regain control of HIS music?
Yet the ABC story this morning seemed to indicate that BMI was responsible for the takedown notice. Is that because BMI still controls some of his older stuff?
And they interviewed some paid lackey, who was "scouring the internet". It wasn't clear that Prince was directly involved.
Southern California where you're surrounded by citrus or avocado groves.
They've mostly been replaced by high-rise condos and subdivisions. But at least some of the subdivision housing has been used to produce high-value crops.
Note a few things about China:
They spend more money on their military then any other nation in the world.
They are modernizing their military far beyond what's necessary to attack any other nation. In the above, I think you misspelled USA.... The premier of China has threatened to nuke Los Angeles You seem to have misspelled North Korea
Hmm. Some interesting possibilities. Thinking about the future, imagine what it would cost to put President Mouse's picture on currency. Would Disney license that use, and would the guv have to pay royalties for each bill/coin in circulation?
And there's also the argument that we already have a mickey-mouse president.....
Either you're willing to "throw your vote away" and show people that they can too- or you'll
need to resort to stronger measures. I don't at all advocate the latter, but it's really your
only option if you're not going to vote in the manner your conscience tells you to.
I would suggest that a better way to throw your vote away is to register for the incumbent party, make a point voting in the primaries. Far too many folks still think of a primary as a non-event, and yet complain that they don't have a good choice come the election.
You can still vote 3rd party in the final, even though you're registered as R or D.
And until things get shaken up at the primary level, not much else is likely to change (except more of that worthless piece paper being shredded in the rush to prove how patriotic congress is)
If I don't vote and thereby lose my US citizenship, can I stop paying taxes too? br>
You can actually stop paying taxes now, and retain your US citizenship. You'll even get room and board for some number of years, and never have to worry about voting again, since felons lose their right to vote...
...in which the technology can be used to track dissidents and unauthorized religions.
We'd best be careful, here. Until recently ( 6 or so years?), we were falling behind in tracking our own dissidents and non-christians.
But we're beginning to catch up, and this congress will soon put in place means so that we can get around those pesky laws/regulations which prevented us from doing this in the past.....

Science fiction, ca 1950? Watchbird?
you mean like this? http://archives.fedoraproject.org/pub/archive/fedora/linux/core/
Hmmm - the "g-speak"... Let's call the cursor the "g-spot"; I can visualize some interesting apps developing around that.....

Watch birds??? From ca 1950's SF
I propose that we rename "indeterminate state" to "undead cat state", just because it sounds cooler and (sorta) makes sense.
How about "decatenated"? And on resolution, "concatenated"
Must have been about the same time I saw the sports car in El Segundo w/ plate reading only 1000101
circa 1974. I heard that he was forced to turn it in....

Vin Diesel is a fairly hip, and current Hollywood type, and we all know that TinselTown is full of drug users?
Hmmm. thought just occured to me.

That is what happens next: You don't vote anymore, because states will cease to exist. The only states are corporations,
OK, so long as they follow through with good RollerBall teams....
Not to mention that perhaps drivers using hemp-fueled cars will be doing about 7 mph, and saving fuel that way.....
Southern California where you're surrounded by citrus or avocado groves.

...making ethanol from sugar cane...
What if it turns out that it's more efficient to produce ethanol from, oh, let's say hemp......or certain other highly over-valued weeds....

But is the tool clever enough to discriminate between boobs and boobs?

Wasn't one of the arguments against open format in MA that FOSS tools didn't provide accessibility?
How does this ruling impact the use of OSS tools to build web facilities?
I can imagine them wanting to draw the US into full scale nuclear war where they all die in a glorious stand against the west.
Like the U.S. religious fundamentalists who support the same thing, hoping to fulfill the Second Coming prophesies, and Armageddon?
I think you're thinking of SCROTUS.
as in two SCROTUS, one SCROTUM ???
