The Hawaii state government is committed to impovershing everyone, because when everyone is poor it is equal.
Case in point: some people in Hawaii tried to set up a fairey to take people between islands. Sorry this is a crime to the environment since it could involve killing dolphins and whales (while other sea traffic is permitted to travel unfettered).
They set up water meters to restrict construction. You don't get a water meter unless you offer to fund public works (i.e. bribery), because just by existing you are depriving people of scarce resources. My buddy tried to build a desalination plant to provide cheap water to everyone and the state government shot it down because that's their excuse to their impoverishing rules on everyone under artificial scarcity.
Meanwhile the people are without jobs and use drugs as an alternative to entrepreneurship. Highest crystal meth rate in the US.
Look at every place the democrat party has unfettered control: detroid, illinois, new york. Poverty, crime, unemployment, and drugs. The telescope is a way out of this bringing legitimate money into the state. The state government says, "No way !!".
I have no interest in judging by appearances, slinging pointed logic, editorializing over the news, or glorifying the perverse echo chamber here.
The fact that people can use this echo chamber to insulate themselves from their inner misgivings and celebrate their superficiality makes me feel very sad for them.
Oh, I see... if only the government had more records to keep track of. If only they had more information. If only they had binders and cabinets full of papers bursting at the seems only to be held together with red tape. Clearly this is the only thing standing between them and success.
Successful companies that actually make software systems that work must surely do this all the time, and the government only has to start!
Now that the government has demonstrated its reliability, let's hand over all health care activity to unelected officials.
This is clear, irrefutable proof that single payer, political oversight by the IRS, and the treasury confiscating all bank accounts exceeding $10k will usher in the perfection of society and the shared prosperity as described by HRC, BHO, and Walter Mondale.
"If the Republicans didn't think it an important political issue, why did Congress spend more time investigating Planned Parenthood than they spent investigating 9/11?"
A powerful question, to be sure, but I don't think it addresses your claim. The republicans aren't tapping into sexual attraction to get votes. When I think of planned parenthood the last thing I think of is 'oh exciting! sexuality!'. If anything they're tapping into "hey, there's something to be said for responsibility".
"The numbers of gay characters still being smaller than "real life" but those who are gay are often out of the closet"
Practicing homosexuals is 2% of the population. That was in a mainstream media newspaper. The number of gay characters on TV vastly exceeds that. Pierce Brosnan (not a Sunday School teacher) was attacked because he said he didn't see how a gay Bond would work. James Bond is probably the last character that would make sense as a homosexual.
You have made a very common equivocation: what shows up in the headlines is basically the same thing as what ordinary people are interested in.
It isn't.
Other confirmations: highschoolers are having A LOT less sex than they were 10 years ago. You see 10 - 30% of characters on TV being gay, but that is not how people are getting lured into watching the shows. It's just the script writers wanting to be trendy (believing it isn't going to cost them in the ratings game). See the gap there?
Planned parenthood is only showing up in the headlines because of the recent expose. I don't see that really continuing, and I would bet against any legislation relating to that in the slightest way.
I suppose if you believe labeling a political party as terrorists and other ad hominems will not lend itself to the perception of a thin argument and a loss of trust for people reading it, then you should go with that. On the other side of the issue, I'm going with a different strategy.
Maybe 5 years ago. This economy cooked interest in sex. Examples: I hear there's no nudity in playboy and less or none in GoT. There's always been a strong correlation between DJIA and dress length (which got VERY long immediately following the 1929 crash).
It's not that people are going to church. They aren't. It's that US citizens are thinking more about whether they can pay bills than sex.
Slashdot Mirror
Scares me how you value a welfare program OVER the lives of the people it was supposed to help.
Scares me to no end how much people on slashdot want death.
Check out the immortalists on Netflix. Cambridge voted in favor of always keeping aging.
Murderers. All of them.

Is the government going to seize matches now?
Matches have been known to start fires, btw.

The Soviet "failure" to land on the moon was really a success in economics.
Haven't we learned anything from Keynes that ditch-digging projects improves the overall economy?
That's the secret for how the Russians all became so rich.
Let's help Obama make us rich like the Russians. Or help Hillary bring "shared prosperity". Either way.
So the people writing commercial (good) security software can lose their jobs when the market goes to the free option.
Politico used to have a guy who posted as Vince that responded to every article with "This is excellent news for Hillary Clinton".
Usually it was hilarious to think about how that somehow related to the article.
You're suggesting this Democrat was being too ... theological?
Because the Democrats are totally known for pushing theology on everyone.
Whenever I hear the word "reality" I think someone is ham-fisting some half-chewed opinion down my throat and calling it factual.
I don't know much about homeopathy, but I can digest opinions for myself thank you.
A subtle but inexpressible difference between surviving and living.
Interesting strategy on the 3 years. So how do you address the "critical time" if most tech workers don't make it to 2?
"too many slashdotters think that putting anything other than a bare minimum is being tasken advantage of."
Slashdotters want to work 20 hours a week. Managers want them to work 55 hours a week.
The problem is people looking at superficial metrics. A lot can be accomplished in 40 hours when you're not thinking about hours, perceptions, etc.
If AI can't pass a Turing test, how is it going to run a company?
As government expands the economy and jobs disappear.

Just one more data point
Oh, I see ... if only the government had more records to keep track of. If only they had more information. If only they had binders and cabinets full of papers bursting at the seems only to be held together with red tape. Clearly this is the only thing standing between them and success.

A form was set up successfully.

This ... wish I had mod points.
The probability of a human going back to the moon diminishes exponentially with each country that starts a space program.

What?
That's like buying carrots at the grocery store, and then having to buy them again when you take them out of the fridge.
Because, you see, you can just leave them in the fridge.
If that's the case then income taxes are not really taxes because you can just stop earning money and you don't have to pay anything.
So you are PAYING money to buy something you already PAID with your taxes.
Sounds like the worst of capitalism and socialism.

Wow. You posted that on /. !! I guess this place isn't such an echo chamber after all.
