As to graphs... did you look at the spread sheet I sent you? There are two datasets for sat temperatures. The RSS and the UAH
Anyway... the point of my cherry picking was to point out the pause is in the data.
And while you accuse me of cherry picking that hasn't stopped you from doing it. I mean... is that what we're just going to do to each other?
Find the portion of any graph that agrees with our premise and then cite it out of context? Because your pH reference did that and so did your sea level graph.
I cited your own Church graph back at you and you're not admitting that it shows no change in the trend despite massive increases in human CO2 release.
The Trend line BEFORE that was the same as it is afterwards. Come on.
As to Vermeer, I don't know why you're taking about him instead of defending the church graph. You're switching data sets whenever your last citation causes you a problem. And the Vermeer graph didn't go back as far as the church graph. Its like my 1998 citation. We can play that game if you like... I just want you to understand the rules you're setting down here.
As to why I assume something is wrong... I laid out the math. I don't see how they could be right.
If you look at our emissions and look at the change in global CO2 mass... you can see that there is less CO2 in the environment than there would be if it weren't getting absorbed.
Then you can look at how fast it is being absorbed.
What you can see from the data is that ANNUALLY about 2/3rds of our emissions are being absorbed and the rate of absorption is increasing as fast as our rate of emission because the graph of increase in CO2 in the atmosphere is linear and the graph of our emissions is exponential. That means that the difference between the two is being absorbed.
If you think I've made a mistake then tell me where. I'm entirely open to correction if you have a correction besides simply assuming that there must be one because you're assuming everything is right.
I'm neither assuming things are right or wrong. I'm simply auditing it and finding issues.
I'm sure... and you can expect all of this to get about as bad as it can possibly get because systems that protected the internet are all being systematically removed.
People like to diss the US for its many flaws but there are some things about us for which we have no peers.
Our protections of free speech are one thing for which we have NO peers.
The corporations are a different story. Look at Apple censoring the confederate flag for no reason... even on civil war games... Reddit banning subreddits that are not illegal... and various other attempts to whitewash the internet.
The corps are ABSOLUTELY going to do that. But don't conflate the US corps with civil rights issues.
The corps do whatever they think will make them more money. They're pretty shameless on that front and I frankly love them for it... they're little monsters... but they're predictable and often serve my interests eventually so I'm cool with them.
Look, if you want to stop this from getting worse, then you need to put pressure on the other stake holder nations in the Western world and convince them to take an absolutist position on free speech.
They currently are expressing the notion that "you are free to say whatever you want unless I change my mind for some arbitrary reason"... and they haven't figured out that that isn't free speech.
A right is not a right if it is overridden arbitrarily by nearly anything. All the talk of offensive speech needing to be banned for example is a death for what free speech exists in Europe at all. what is and is not offensive is entirely arbitary and subjective to the person you're talking to... so anyone can censor you if they simply presume offensive for any reason. They don't like what you said... so they're offended... so you can't say it.
that's where europe is going with this... and if the people of the various nations of the EU don't stand up and fight for their rights then I'm not going to feel sorry for them when they wake up one morning and find they're all gone.
The EU is treating the member citizens like peasants and the people of those nations are letting it happen.
I am not a peasant. I will not be oppressed. I will not be silenced. I will not be intimidated. They'll have to literally kill me to stop me. And if more people thought the way I do, they wouldn't even try this shit. It would be counter productive because they'd just be giving people like me ammunition to tear them apart.
So... he's a teen... which means he's somewhere between 15-19... lets assume he was only hacking for at most 3 years... which means also whomever he was hacking had shit security because a newbie hacker busted their security...
but going with 3 years... 50,000/3=16667 hacks per year... or 46 a day every day for 3 years.
I'm going to assume without reading further that the number of hacks is either coming from some malware the little shit appropriated that ultimately compromised 50k machines or something similar... which I'm just going to call "1" distribution of malware.
Depending on how much damage that did... we might assess punishment. Assuming none... I think I might give him community service where he's obligated to help people understand how their security was shit so they can have it be less shitty in the future.
that's a myth... there are no people outside of the US... just evil ghosts...:P
Seriously though... this is what you can expect for resting control of ICANN away from the US. We warned you that we protected free speech better than your gaggle of international organizations and you didn't listen.
So... expect ICANN to be increasingly obnoxious as the French, the Iranians, and the Chinese start exerting more control over it.
For my own part, I'm going to be selfish because if I don't look after myself... no one will. And from my perspective... I've got this shit covered. I'm fucking immune. And of course it feels fabulous... thanks for asking.
Long term, I think we might see some changes in the way DNS is handled. All these website registrations are just DNS tables. given that england, france, and australia are all messing with DNS tables in the name of "saving the children" I expect that people are going to start using a mix of official and unofficial DNS tables.
So google or whatever corporation will be registered on the standard tables and any jackoff's blog or whatever is going to cited under a different registry that is beyond the meddling of the beurocrats that the Euros especially insisted have control over ICANN.
I am practically bubbling with schadenfreude right now... its putting a spring in my step.
as to your presumptions of superiority... since those are apparently based on little more than your personal shame... I'm going to just laugh at that comment and move on.
As to your evidence that I'm ignorant... *laughs*... Sure sure... 1+1=5... whatever you say.
First... fuck the stupid suggestion that a computer is sexist. I mean... that is the literal implication here. That the COMPUTER is sexist.
Second, if it is doing this then there are REASONS for it. Computers don't care if you have a vagina or a penis... they don't even know what that means. there's no subroutine checking for dick and then giving dick better jobs.
Third, once you've figured out the reasons... THAT is the actual story. The story likely will read something like this "people that click on these things are less likely to click on these other things."... Fucking shocking.
I would sacrifice orphans to a dark god if it meant the morons writing these stupid articles had black voids open behind them and suck them into a world of madness and horror.
I am so fucking tired of people that either don't know how statistics work writing articles that are simply using statistics to "beg the question" or even worse, people that do know and are simply political hacks writing this shit to confuse the rubes.
Legit users can hide their names by proxying the ownership.
I already do this... I have a corporation I set up just to own things for me. I own the corp and all the information on the corp goes to a PO box. So... whatever.
All the mechanisms to obscure your identity are already there.
Think like an IT man... how often do we deal with machines that want things just "so"... and they can't be just "so" for some reason. So what do you do? You tell the machines they're just "so" anyway and then set up the rest of the system to preserve the fiction.
Laws are just rules. And rules need only be obeyed to the letter not the spirit... at least in the US. So you hack the legal code... you find the loophole and then drive a fucking freight train through it.
Its how the corps do it. its how anyone that doesn't want the IRS to rape them does it. Its how any good lawfirm will tell you to do it.
You don't break the law. The law is full of holes. When it becomes annoying... you walk through the holes. No one wants to litigate. You just need to make it clear that whatever you did will take a big court case to even have a chance of getting what you did declared a violation.
If you can be on firm enough ground that that is a reality... the only people that will go after you will be idiots. And idiots are no threat to anyone but themselves.
If you have to charge more to make ends meet then you're providing a luxury good and not a staple.
Staples have to be competitive with the bottom line.
So you're competing with the general agro industry or you're not.
One... or... the Other.
if you're not then you're not replacing anything.
If you are... then you need to be able to make ends meet at their prices.
Again, I just bought a pineapple for 4 dollars that was grown in hawaii. You're not competing with that using urban growing unless you use the sun. None of this LED shit. You can't match their cost structure if you're maintaining all that.
As to subsidies being speculation... Every "green" project I've ever seen has only been viable because of subsidization. Its why the corporations LOVE the environmental movement. So much easy government money.
As to open minds... you don't know what having an open mind means. It doesn't mean not having opinions. It means being open to correction and change. I'm growing disinterested in your judgements the more your reveal how absurdly ignorant you are...
As to me doing research... I'll probably have to since I'm apparently the only one that knows how do it. You people are so tiresome.
Only aspects of it and they can use other liberaries if they want.
The point remains that the code base can be simplified.
A big issue I see with a lot of these projects is that they get too complicated. Rather than adding new features they should simply compartmentalize the code so that portions of it can do these things but they exist at seperately audited components... and should only be used if actually needed.
I've no interest in getting involved in a tit for tat with you. We know there are problems maintaining the integrity of security code against hackers.
You know that. This is not disputable.
The world is changing and the standards upon which security is judged are changing with them. Business as usual is not acceptable. We're coming to adapt or die time.
I choose life and relevance. Anyone that wishes to choose obsolescence and death is welcome to do so. Those that remain will make all future decisions.
all you have to nullify this is have the domain "technically" owned by a third party. Then references to the owner will be traced back to a hosting company.
You can't stop people from being anonymous. Who ever came up with this idea is a dipstick.
I asked for a US source to back up your position. I got a vague puff piece about someone doing it in the UK instead which wouldn't even be meaningful anyway... there was no information in it to audit the economics.
What I suspect with these things is that they get a lot of subsidy money or they charge a lot more at the market for the produce. That means they're not competitive.
If you have to get money from the government and you need to charge your consumer more than you're not selling the same product... and it could be argued that you're more in the business of getting welfare than you are in actually producing anything.
I want to know what they're spending on things and what their output of produce looks like. I can compare that to a standard agro business farm sitting in an open field under the sun. And then... apples to apples... we can see if your concept is competitive.
It won't be. But I'll keep an open mind and look at the data if you ever get around to posting it.
Alternatively... I can look it up for you and then post the information in black and white here.
No no, you're right... he got a puff piece in the national law journal... so really he's even more powerful than if were the AG even though no one knows about the other lawyers that get those puff pieces written about them because when push comes to shove it doesn't matter.
You want to prove me wrong? Show me any kind of track record of these guys saying SOMEONE is relevant and then that being backed up by them being able to do something.
And government officials don't count. They have to be relevant as private citizens. If they say some guy is relevant and then he becomes president or something then you're unwittingly arguing my case.
You put in the vertical qualifier like it is difficult to stack shit on top of each other.
There are plenty of pot growers that use "wavelength tuned" LEDs to grow pot.
Give me a fucking break. In fact... just fuck me. That comment was so painfully annoying in its obtuseness that I deserve a blowjob just to take my mind off f'ing dumb that vertical qualifier was...
As to abandoned factories... go turn Detroit into the salad bowl of America then... what are you waiting for?
I don't want to hear about the fucking blue and red LEDs anymore like that is some kind of recent innovation. That has been going on for ages.
As to hydroponics being more expensive than soil... not as expensive as fucking LEDs. But that sure isn't stopping you is it?
As to costs declining... Sun light is free... good luck with your cost structure competiting with that. Here you're going to say "but in this urban factory blight area"... I'm sure... but you're not competiting against farms in other fucking factories. You're competiting against a sunny field some where with an unobstructed view of the sky, long clear days, good irrigation, and of course a global transit system that can move that produce anywhere in the world pretty damn cheaply pretty damn quick.
I am literally fucking sitting here chopping up a pineapple that was grown in Hawaii. I believe it cost me 4 dollars. Have fun with your revolution sport. I rather suspect the Empire will surprise you with a fully operational agro business battle station.:D
I don't doubt you can do that in your room in your apartment. I have a large pepper crop in my home that is largely kept healthy by an LED array I built.
However, I wouldn't pretend my pepper garden is commercially viable.
I bought 10 dollars worth of organic pesticide today. Mostly strong smelling plant oils... my house sort of smells like peppermint mixed with garlic right now. The point is that what do you think my peppers will ultimately be worth when it comes time for harvest? I might get something between seven and ten pounds of peppers this year. Total up what I spend keeping the peppers happy every year and it would be MUCH cheaper to just buy fresh peppers from the store.
I can't compete with commercial operations and that is without counting my personal labor into it because I count it all as entertainment.
My home is full of edible perennials. But do you know what portion of my diet is sustained by all this stuff? Less than a percent of a percent. And my house is FULL of edible plants.
It gets better though because I've even tried the whole sprouting thing. I got pretty good at it. I still bake sprouted wheat berries into my bread, I have sprouted mung beans in my stir fry, and when I make sandwiches... I use alfalfa sprouts.
But it makes up a relatively tiny portion of my diet. Practically everything I eat comes from the store just like everyone else.
And even if I were growing enough just to feed myself... and using canning and freezing to preserve large harvests so I could have something to eat when something wasn't being actively harvested... it would both consume all of my time and I really doubt I'd be saving any money because I'd be spending as much or possibly more on stuff to keep the garden going... and then because that's not bad enough, I can't promise that the quality of those crops would be consistent.
Look... I went through this explanation so you could get past the purity tests and grasp that I would like all these things to work. I really would.
The problem is that in so far as I understand the numbers they do not.
I think you can make green house growing work for tomatoes in certain markets where tehy can't grow them for large portions of the year. But that is assuming SUNLIGHT.
I'm not counting weed here because that is a product that is only so valuable because it is mostly illegal. It is artificially expensive. If it were fully legalized the Tobacco companies have been gearing up for YEARS to jump on that bandwagon. Imagine fields of planted weed that go on for MILES.
When agro business really gets serious about that the price of it is going to crash so hard that these closet pot farms aren't going to make any more sense economically than my pepper plants. You can still do it... but you'll be doing it for fun like me.
To really produce commercially you need ACREAGE. You think stacking your crops on top of each other and bathing them in little beams of LED light is going to get you parity but you don't appreciate how much cheaper it is to just till the earth, jam seeds into it, then spray water over the top... Miles upon miles of crop land that way of whatever you want to grow.
Look at a Hawaiian pineapple farm. you can't compete or green house that competitively.
Tomatoes you might get away with because they're really iffy plants that are damaged easily by almost anything and every pest imaginable likes to eat them. So you green house them because they're nature's sissy. but even then I wouldn't buy those LEDs and then pay the electrical bill to power those things when I could just use the sun to do it. If you live really far north or really far south and you can't get decent sun... then you're not in a good location to grow that crop.
As to growing things on other planets. The economics and logistics of that situation are not comparable. You can't truck in fresh supplies every week if you're on mars. On earth though... you can. And often as not that is the most efficient way to do it.
Offer up a version of the the package that is small enough to be audited in detail so that there are very very very few bugs with it.
I think they said they had it down to 6k? So do that. Obviously that strips out a lot of features people like. So decide what is more important to you.
security or covering your car with stickers and truck nuts.
good security has to be simple. you get complicated and you get something that can't be fully understood well enough to debug.
info from the US would be the most easily audited... you can provide your cost calculations.
If any of it appears valid then I'll personally start farming this way... no really.
I've low expectations of your ability to validate anything so I'm not checking with the bank to see what kind of loan i can get. But... hit me with your info.
I'm a "muh free speech" type.... you don't understand people like me if you think we're hypocrites.
All the bad things that come with free speech... we accept it.
Think of the way the American public accepts the 2nd amendment despite that fact being incomphrensible to most europeans.
The fact that you can't understand a perspective is poor basis to start judging it. You have to understand it first... THEN judge it.
Free speech people like myself are willing to accept hate speech directed at us or anyone else. That's just an understanding in the same way that if you accept the guns there are going to be issues with gun violence. There's no way out of that.
I'm telling you that people like me go into this with our eyes open. I know what I'm paying for free speech and I accept that.
Freedom isn't free. You have to pay for any right... upfront and then there are maintenance payments.
Some freedoms have to be bought with blood and horror and pieces of your soul. You pay or you lose that freedom.
A price of free speech is that people are going to say things that you don't like... which is the least of what free speech costs. Quibbling over that is nothing compared to the full price... which does include blood, splattered human brains, gore, horror... and young men with wide eyes and trembling hands.
If you can't even pay one of the very minor costs which is tolerating speech that hurts your fee fees... then... you can't afford free speech at all. Free speech is one of the pricier freedoms.
Its a freedom that if you have to ask what it costs... you can't afford it. Because its demands are high and ongoing.
Keep in mind... wars have been fought over this issue... quite of them in fact. The freedom for one group of people to think and believe and say what they wish without having an external orthodoxy imposed on them..
If you want to live in a hug box, that's super. I will totally protect your right to kick people out of your hug box that invade it. But your hugbox... your safe space... is the only place you get that right. Anywhere else... you're either in "no man's land"... or possibly you're asking to be protected from the speech of other people while inside THEIR hug box.
If you're in the fat shaming board... that's their board. Their weird little hug box where they make themselves feel better by talking trash on some other group. Which is what mostly happens in hug boxes from what I've seen. They're all basically full of people that are all one way and they mostly talk about those evil people that don't see things the exact way they do.
I'm not protecting you from being offended AND presuming to give you free speech.
You can have one or the other. Not both.
Its a question of whether you want to b a coddled peasant or self reliant citizen. Peasants need to be protected... poor ignorant excitable semi humans that they are.... Citizens don't need to be protected in general... they're expected to be personally formidable enough to deal with most things on their own. And if there is something exceptional... they can typically gang up with each other and annihilate anything. State or corporate involvement is not required.
The president could pardon Snowden in a heartbeat if he wanted to. That the administration takes this tone is because they're told to by the head of it.

all you have to nullify this is have the domain "technically" owned by a third party. Then references to the owner will be traced back to a hosting company.
You can't stop people from being anonymous. Who ever came up with this idea is a dipstick.
I'm not upset so much as disappointed.
I asked for a US source to back up your position. I got a vague puff piece about someone doing it in the UK instead which wouldn't even be meaningful anyway... there was no information in it to audit the economics.
What I suspect with these things is that they get a lot of subsidy money or they charge a lot more at the market for the produce. That means they're not competitive.
If you have to get money from the government and you need to charge your consumer more than you're not selling the same product... and it could be argued that you're more in the business of getting welfare than you are in actually producing anything.
I want to know what they're spending on things and what their output of produce looks like. I can compare that to a standard agro business farm sitting in an open field under the sun. And then... apples to apples... we can see if your concept is competitive.
It won't be. But I'll keep an open mind and look at the data if you ever get around to posting it.
Alternatively... I can look it up for you and then post the information in black and white here.
Your choice.
No no, you're right... he got a puff piece in the national law journal... so really he's even more powerful than if were the AG even though no one knows about the other lawyers that get those puff pieces written about them because when push comes to shove it doesn't matter.
You want to prove me wrong? Show me any kind of track record of these guys saying SOMEONE is relevant and then that being backed up by them being able to do something.
And government officials don't count. They have to be relevant as private citizens. If they say some guy is relevant and then he becomes president or something then you're unwittingly arguing my case.
sure... he got a puff piece in "national law journal"... clearly he's the next emperor of the galaxy.
You put in the vertical qualifier like it is difficult to stack shit on top of each other.
There are plenty of pot growers that use "wavelength tuned" LEDs to grow pot.
Give me a fucking break. In fact... just fuck me. That comment was so painfully annoying in its obtuseness that I deserve a blowjob just to take my mind off f'ing dumb that vertical qualifier was...
As to abandoned factories... go turn Detroit into the salad bowl of America then... what are you waiting for?
I don't want to hear about the fucking blue and red LEDs anymore like that is some kind of recent innovation. That has been going on for ages.
As to hydroponics being more expensive than soil... not as expensive as fucking LEDs. But that sure isn't stopping you is it?
As to costs declining... Sun light is free... good luck with your cost structure competiting with that. Here you're going to say "but in this urban factory blight area"... I'm sure... but you're not competiting against farms in other fucking factories. You're competiting against a sunny field some where with an unobstructed view of the sky, long clear days, good irrigation, and of course a global transit system that can move that produce anywhere in the world pretty damn cheaply pretty damn quick.
I am literally fucking sitting here chopping up a pineapple that was grown in Hawaii. I believe it cost me 4 dollars. Have fun with your revolution sport. I rather suspect the Empire will surprise you with a fully operational agro business battle station. :D

I don't doubt you can do that in your room in your apartment. I have a large pepper crop in my home that is largely kept healthy by an LED array I built.
However, I wouldn't pretend my pepper garden is commercially viable.
I bought 10 dollars worth of organic pesticide today. Mostly strong smelling plant oils... my house sort of smells like peppermint mixed with garlic right now. The point is that what do you think my peppers will ultimately be worth when it comes time for harvest? I might get something between seven and ten pounds of peppers this year. Total up what I spend keeping the peppers happy every year and it would be MUCH cheaper to just buy fresh peppers from the store.
I can't compete with commercial operations and that is without counting my personal labor into it because I count it all as entertainment.
My home is full of edible perennials. But do you know what portion of my diet is sustained by all this stuff? Less than a percent of a percent. And my house is FULL of edible plants.
It gets better though because I've even tried the whole sprouting thing. I got pretty good at it. I still bake sprouted wheat berries into my bread, I have sprouted mung beans in my stir fry, and when I make sandwiches... I use alfalfa sprouts.
But it makes up a relatively tiny portion of my diet. Practically everything I eat comes from the store just like everyone else.
And even if I were growing enough just to feed myself... and using canning and freezing to preserve large harvests so I could have something to eat when something wasn't being actively harvested... it would both consume all of my time and I really doubt I'd be saving any money because I'd be spending as much or possibly more on stuff to keep the garden going... and then because that's not bad enough, I can't promise that the quality of those crops would be consistent.
Look... I went through this explanation so you could get past the purity tests and grasp that I would like all these things to work. I really would.
The problem is that in so far as I understand the numbers they do not.
I think you can make green house growing work for tomatoes in certain markets where tehy can't grow them for large portions of the year. But that is assuming SUNLIGHT.
I'm not counting weed here because that is a product that is only so valuable because it is mostly illegal. It is artificially expensive. If it were fully legalized the Tobacco companies have been gearing up for YEARS to jump on that bandwagon. Imagine fields of planted weed that go on for MILES.
When agro business really gets serious about that the price of it is going to crash so hard that these closet pot farms aren't going to make any more sense economically than my pepper plants. You can still do it... but you'll be doing it for fun like me.
To really produce commercially you need ACREAGE. You think stacking your crops on top of each other and bathing them in little beams of LED light is going to get you parity but you don't appreciate how much cheaper it is to just till the earth, jam seeds into it, then spray water over the top... Miles upon miles of crop land that way of whatever you want to grow.
Look at a Hawaiian pineapple farm. you can't compete or green house that competitively.
Tomatoes you might get away with because they're really iffy plants that are damaged easily by almost anything and every pest imaginable likes to eat them. So you green house them because they're nature's sissy. but even then I wouldn't buy those LEDs and then pay the electrical bill to power those things when I could just use the sun to do it. If you live really far north or really far south and you can't get decent sun... then you're not in a good location to grow that crop.
As to growing things on other planets. The economics and logistics of that situation are not comparable. You can't truck in fresh supplies every week if you're on mars. On earth though... you can. And often as not that is the most efficient way to do it.
Offer up a version of the the package that is small enough to be audited in detail so that there are very very very few bugs with it.
I think they said they had it down to 6k? So do that. Obviously that strips out a lot of features people like. So decide what is more important to you.
security or covering your car with stickers and truck nuts.
good security has to be simple. you get complicated and you get something that can't be fully understood well enough to debug.
info from the US would be the most easily audited... you can provide your cost calculations.
If any of it appears valid then I'll personally start farming this way... no really.
I've low expectations of your ability to validate anything so I'm not checking with the bank to see what kind of loan i can get. But... hit me with your info.
I'm a "muh free speech" type.... you don't understand people like me if you think we're hypocrites.
All the bad things that come with free speech... we accept it.
Think of the way the American public accepts the 2nd amendment despite that fact being incomphrensible to most europeans.
The fact that you can't understand a perspective is poor basis to start judging it. You have to understand it first... THEN judge it.
Free speech people like myself are willing to accept hate speech directed at us or anyone else. That's just an understanding in the same way that if you accept the guns there are going to be issues with gun violence. There's no way out of that.
I'm telling you that people like me go into this with our eyes open. I know what I'm paying for free speech and I accept that.
Freedom isn't free. You have to pay for any right... upfront and then there are maintenance payments.
Some freedoms have to be bought with blood and horror and pieces of your soul. You pay or you lose that freedom.
A price of free speech is that people are going to say things that you don't like... which is the least of what free speech costs. Quibbling over that is nothing compared to the full price... which does include blood, splattered human brains, gore, horror... and young men with wide eyes and trembling hands.
If you can't even pay one of the very minor costs which is tolerating speech that hurts your fee fees... then... you can't afford free speech at all. Free speech is one of the pricier freedoms.
Its a freedom that if you have to ask what it costs... you can't afford it. Because its demands are high and ongoing.
Keep in mind... wars have been fought over this issue... quite of them in fact. The freedom for one group of people to think and believe and say what they wish without having an external orthodoxy imposed on them..
If you want to live in a hug box, that's super. I will totally protect your right to kick people out of your hug box that invade it. But your hugbox... your safe space... is the only place you get that right. Anywhere else... you're either in "no man's land"... or possibly you're asking to be protected from the speech of other people while inside THEIR hug box.
If you're in the fat shaming board... that's their board. Their weird little hug box where they make themselves feel better by talking trash on some other group. Which is what mostly happens in hug boxes from what I've seen. They're all basically full of people that are all one way and they mostly talk about those evil people that don't see things the exact way they do.
I'm not protecting you from being offended AND presuming to give you free speech.
You can have one or the other. Not both.
Its a question of whether you want to b a coddled peasant or self reliant citizen. Peasants need to be protected... poor ignorant excitable semi humans that they are.... Citizens don't need to be protected in general... they're expected to be personally formidable enough to deal with most things on their own. And if there is something exceptional... they can typically gang up with each other and annihilate anything. State or corporate involvement is not required.
I just don't think his opinions are newsworthy anymore.
bullshit.
The president could pardon Snowden in a heartbeat if he wanted to. That the administration takes this tone is because they're told to by the head of it.
