    Fuck it!

    I am getting sick and tired of being accues of being a (DNC/GOP/Religious/Athiest) Shill on /. simply because I don't fit into peoples neat little catagories. All goverment documents, meeting notes and video/voice recordings should be made public within 7 days of any goverment meetings unless doing so would harm national security. I am tired of the powerful protecting the powerful, hell I can't pick up the phone and get a senator in DC on the line in 5 minutes but those who are powerful can. I know this, because I have seen it with my own eyes.

    The GOP and DEMS are both a bunch of hyprocrits (sp).

    And the tech transfer to china was nuke related as its main use was in the deployment of MIRV's and Bush also allowed the sale of that rare earth magnet company to china, you know the one that was a major supplier of our smart bomb guidence systems programs.

    Then explain why that stupid Fox Hunting ban is getting so much air time? I have watched british tv and read british papers and yes, it's true that they do not cover the same crap that US media does you fail to explain that the cover other crap.

    Almost all media on the planet sucks in one way or another.

    There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. -- Ayn Rand in Atlas Shrugged (1957)

    The prestige of government has undoubtedly been lowered considerably by the Prohibition law. For nothing is more destructive of respect for the government and the law of the land than passing laws which cannot be enforced. It is an open secret that the dangerous increase of crime in this country is closely connected with this. -- Albert Einstein, My First Impression of the U.S.A., 1921

    Every actual state is corrupt. Good men must not obey laws too well. -- Ralph Waldo Emerson

    That isn't how things work these days. When the side you support does something it is OK and beyond question. When the otherside does the EXACT same thing it is wrong and should be made illegal.

    Examples:

    Clinton's health care taskforce - the GOP said the records had to be made public.

    Bush's energy task force - the GOP said the records did not have to be made public.

    Clinton allowing the transfer of nuclear tech to china - Bad in the eyes of the GOP

    Bush alloing the transfer of modern nuclear reactor designs to china - Good in the eyes of the GOP.

    Dems giving speaches in churchs - Good in the eyes of the DEMS.

    GOPers giving speaches in the churchs - Bad in the eyes of the DEMS.

    Chomsky's easy to understand if you think like he does. See, in Chomsky's view, the USA is the Ultimate Evil and groups like the PA are just innocents trying to defend themselves.

    Chomsky is more biased than Fox News could every hope to be yet the people that support him are the first group of people to jump up and say fox news is biased.

    Go figure.

    Kind of like how Rush and Hannity ignore the fact that Fox is the #1 news channel when they rant about the Main Stream Media and CNN? Rush will say and do anything that brings him in money.

    Pure Capitalism, much like Communism, can not work because people, as a whole, suck. With out somesort of external force the people that gain power, almost with out fail thru the enterity of human history, abuse that power.

    If humans didn't suck and try to fsck over everyone it might work, but we do suck so outsides forces have to be there to stop use from abusing each other.

    We call those forces laws.

    Yes, I have and I have seen Christian and Jews leaders condem what Russia has done. I haven't seen high level Islamic leaders do the same, as a matter of fact I have seen the high level Islamic leaders say that actions, like what happened in Russica, are fully justified.

    I also do not see Christians or Jews killing 16 year olds who have premarital sex like they do in Iran nor do I see Christians or Jews locking the gates to keep female kids in why a school burns.

    No, those corps tried to use EXISTING LAWS against Microsoft, while you may not agree with those laws they didn't ask for new ones. Microsoft, OTOH, is trying to have new laws passed to help them.
