  1. Re:Nazi America on TSA 'Secured' Metrodome During Recent Football Game · · Score: 1

    "by whom"?
    By our governments. It seems like they all are heading in the same direction: More internet control, more observation and registration, more traffic tracking, more financial control, more privacy invasions, etc. etc.
    The big corporations are everywhere busy to lure our governments in colluding with them in order to control the population and to force us to buy their products. Through patenting (Monsanto et. al.) or through legislation (compulsory vaccinations, health insurance) or through harassment and out-legislation of the small producers, and especially the organic ones (fresh milk anyone?).
    In short: fascist tyranny.

    That would be
    1. Keep Guantanamo open

    Is this your 'right direction'?

    They may be getting classified intelligence of planning outlines of attacks on stadiums.

    I see. So that's the reason why they only ask some questions.
    As in: "We've got credible information about pending terrorist attacks, but let's not upset the people too much with scanners.
    Let's keep that for later, when they are more used to our appearance in the public.
    In the mean time, let's just wait for 'the terrorists' to succeed.

    Yeah right, as if that is adding to security.

    ... are more the result of the introduction of hybrid vs. the native varieties.
    The fact that the big agricultural corporations preferred to introduce GMO hybrids, more than non-GMO hybrids, and push them relentlessly through bribery, does not make the increased production a result of GMO 'an sich'.

  13. Re:This is a rare breed of human. on Anti-GMO Activist Recants · · Score: 3, Interesting

    As long as there is no conclusive science telling us where all the 'modern' diseases (cancer, cardiovascular, diabetes) are coming from, to me the correlation with the introduction of processed and chemically grown, and even GMO, foods is too strong to state that the choice to fear GMO's (and processed food) is 'superstitious'.

    That's why my opinion is that everyone has the right to choose for 'organic' food, and to demand also labeling of the same.

    If any hate is spewing, is targeted against the ex M$ bigwig Elop which brew this destructive strategy.

    As pointed out above, it was the board that was already decided at ditching the previous CEO and hiring Elop/MS instead.
    Now, as Dilbert has pointed out, this was a strategic move of sheer genius, with which MS has realised three very strategic goals:
    1. Windows phone introduced in the market,
    2. Nokia, the biggest competitor for their own phone hardware sales ambitions has been crushed,
    3. Linux as OS for the mobile phone has been disabled.
    Luckily, there is still the Jolla (currently connection time out) initiative with Tizen.

    The grand question: How did the Nokia board get played up so much by Microsoft?

    As this is a state's ballot, it is in the state's legislature that anonymity has to be arranged.

    So, I think the judge was right, although I'm also very surprised by the fact that anonymity in ballots is not guaranteed.
