http://movetoamend.org/action I humbly beseech any and all desiring to play a part in combating the domination of corporations over our individual and collective lives to diligently research movetoamend.org , and perchance lend your good name to the cause.
http://movetoamend.org/action I'm just going to lightly spam this link around here. I urge everyone to at least put your name behind a cause for needed change because venting in web forums may educate but it won't have a direct influence. If movetoamend.org could go to the media and/or political machine with 30-50 milion signatures ready to vote around this cause, they'll have some influence.
I think for many people it is effectively "bearing arms". The ability to stream live video and audio from the scene of any government activity by any citizen is a huge burr in Simon Barsinister's ass. If one subscribes to the enumeration of a right to bear arms being meant to enable the citizenry to possibly defend against governmental tyranny then it's not a long stretch to see the cellphone as the modern day equivalent of the musket of colonial times.
Again, surrendering right to privacy is not prerequisite to stopping WMD attacks. Any serious study of the last couple of decades reveals that over and over someone in law enforcement or intelligence has been aware of the info needed to act on attacks against us beforehand . The issue is the bungling bureaucracy and missed opportunities for authorities to act on known intel.
Don't sugar coat it dear Sir, tell 'em how the hell it is. Git 'em.
I don't think anything short of mass crowds overrunning the centers of government and acquiring the info on what is really going on will change anything though....
Ladies and Gentlemen, don't expect the powers, principalities, and the spiritually wicked holding high offices to relent. You'll know Trump is just another ringer when he makes into office alive. There are Simon Barsinister types in this world, they're in charge, and they're some real motherfuckers... prepare accordingly.
"The question we now have to ask is, if technologically it is possible to make an impenetrable device or system, where the encryption is so strong there’s no key, there’s no door at all, then how do we apprehend the child pornographer? How do we solve or disrupt a terrorist plot?" Obama said. "If in fact you can’t crack that at all, government can’t get in, then everybody’s walking around with a Swiss bank account in their pocket."
It blows my mind that a Harvard constitutional law scholar can either so utterly fail at logical thought or blatantly spew state control rhetoric. I didn't vote for him but was mildly optimistic that he might be the real deal. He's just the latest snake oil merchant in a long line of 'em.....
He also notes "Based on available information, the 166,606-tonne figure seems to be the most accurate. However, the 1,200,000 figure wouldn’t surprise me at all. As Philip Barton says it so well, “No claim to precision can be made with regard to the amount of gold in the world. All that can be done is to try to arrive at an educated approximation, based on such vague evidence as is available.”
Democracy is fun when conducted among informed, capable peoples. We're challenged to manifest a critical mass of them at the present time.....:facepalm:
Correct. Your eyes are fine. Flipping the coin is only introducing randomness. The odds of getting A result are 1/1. Assigning a value to the result is the significant part. Assigning the first flip as a score for the Bernster or Hillarity gives 1/2 odds for that first event.
That's what caught my eye also. If Bitcoin mining is actually using energy at those rates there should be some consideration given to regulation. Speculation with currency has shown its downside, and I hope someone is analyzing the potential effects of speculation with the energy supply. If it's 250kw/sq.ft. I hope the ceilings are 30 ft tall....
"Cowards die many times before their deaths. The valiant never taste of death but once." from the play Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare. "What profiteth a man to gain the whole world if he loses his very soul...?" comes to mind also..... Does anyone really buy much of anything the government is trying to sell any more? The model citizen our government is pushing towards looks less and less like the citizen defined in the constitution all the time.
Perhaps they could start with correctly handling those threats REPORTED TO THEM by their own agents, other US agencies, foreign gov's, and the public at large? I think that would have stopped ~90% of attacks from the last couple of decades. The continuing push for mass surveillance is demonstrably counter-productive and stinks of tyranny.

As though we needed that information to determine that Obama is no damned constitutional lawyer...

Wrong answer. The correct response is, "5 digit user # is all the reference/citation you need. Bitch."
...that he has no good faith authority to deal with other than mebbe the public majority. And they ain't had a say in nothin' for a while now...
The love of $ is the root of all evil. I see it proven every day...
If I can mine up a coin, cash it in for....cash, and go buy a lollipop at the corner store, it's got value.
I think the exploiters have already grokked those issues...

http://www.24hgold.com/english... this one would seem to indicate your premise in the sense that there is actually very little gold "consumed".

No mod points so you get a big fat "BINGO!!!"
