If corporations are people, Mitt Romney is a serial killer than murders them and feasts upon their corpses. He would be worse for business than Obama. Particularly in the long run when his tax and spending cuts gut the long term stability of the nation and we fall back into being a backwoods yokel country that nobody gives a damn about like we were before WWI.
It would have the same rest mass, but its effective mass would be different thanks to the different orbital velocity between earth and mars and relativity.
technology theoretically allows the kind of workforce amplification that would allow for a near utopia society. We could all have been working 20 hour work weeks and earn more than enough for an upper middle class lifestyle if it were not for the leaching plutocratic class.
I've had to unfriend someone after the slutty drunken whore got "saved" and everything she posted was a bible verse and she posted at least 10 a day. So yes, if your friend posts enough of the same crap, you implicitly don't mind it enough to break the association.
Yes the treatment does vary. People have rights. Governments do not.
The government has an absolute obligation to be transparent and responsible to the people it was created to defend and empower. The only secrecy allowable for government is the minimum amount required to operate on behalf of the people. Generally limited to military battle plans and details of deployment during a conflict.
It was set up so that the archive could be distributed safely, and manning believed that only the wikileaks people would have direct access to it. lives would not have been at risk if the newpaper wasn't stupid enough to publish the krypto keys to the archive.
Manning is not the police. The government is not a person. Evidence is not merely "reason to suspect". This is a case of the system of military justice failing due to institutional corruption, and Bradley Manning took extreme but justified measures to expose it.
"I, _____, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God." The Oath.
Bradley Manning fulfilled the first sentence of the oath by defending the United States and its Constitution against domestic enemies.
They had evidence of a crime and a mountain of material that likely contained more evidence of crimes, but was so vast that no one person could vet every bit of data.
So they sought assistance in combing through that mountain.

So help me God." The Oath.
When the people within the government abandon their principals, commit crimes, and use secrecy as a cover, they become a domestic enemy of the United States and its Constitution. Bradley Manning was put in a position where it was impossible to fulfill the entirety oath, because the people who were giving orders were the domestic enemies of the United States and its Constitution. The compromise he made was the moral one, and I do not fault him for it.
Yea, its really inconvenient when someone reveals the crimes that your business performs to the public. People might not buy your products if they knew you bribed Afghanistan warlords with little boys to be used as sex slaves.
To its credit, Abe Lincoln Vampire Hunter had one of the most innovative fight scenes I have ever seen. The one in the herd of stampeding horses. Not realistic, but it was certainly made of awesome.
Conservatism is just a means to an end. And that end is overthrowing the liberty and prosperity of the American people in order to restore the old way of doing things. A plutocratic class with absolute economic, political and theocratic control over the a disempowerd class of serfs.
The liberals who value justice, personal liberty and prosperity will always oppose you. And we are more numerous and better armed and trained than you would suspect.
Given the choice between jumping off a cliff (and into a steaming pit of shit) in order to avoid someone throwing mushitd at me? I choose to remain where I am and tolerate the the small amount of shit for a little while longer rather than drowning in a pit of shit after having broken myself from the jump.
That was the choice between Obama and Romney. Obama sucks badly. But Romney is much worse.

Downside? Sounds like a perfect weapon system for interstellar conflict.
Apple sells slightly above average products at high end prices, and that is why they have much higher profit margins.
It would have the same rest mass, but its effective mass would be different thanks to the different orbital velocity between earth and mars and relativity.
Then he would be beholden to no one (except maybe google).

The market is much less willing to bear arbitrary price jacking than price jacking related to a major event.
Your baby pictures.
Chris Hansen would like you to have a seat over there.

If you were to expose criminal activity, either negligence or malicious you SHOULD expect protection.
Its called being a wistleblower, and its very important.

Having a bad haircut.
THe collateral murder video and its coverup.
There was also the little part of a us contractor paying for boy sex slaves as bribe to a afghanistan warlord.
The majority of it wasn't particularly offensive, but there were a few malignant little gems in there.
And congress failed in its duty.
It is the business of a true patriot to expose the corruption within the system when the system fails to deal with it.

You are accusing me of being what you are. A useful idiot is all you are. Your empty posturing is infantile.
Your thinly veiled threats of violence are foolish.
You assume I am not willing and able to fight back just as hard or harder.
