I gather you aren't familiar with Rousseau either. If you have any interest in political systems I would strongly recommend the reading of "The Social Contract" and the preceding "Discourse on Inequality". The latter begins with a criticism of the theoretical 'state of nature' described by Hobbes and Locke, so a familiarity with "Leviathan" and the second of the "Two Treatises of Government" might come in handy. Though to be fair, those are both more than important enough to read on their own.
For one, the reason these trade agreements and the process of designing them is so long and drawn out is to compensate for the systemic issues you raise.
Secondly, it is not a zero-sum game. Gains in partner nations do not cause our economy or wages to fall by the same amount. Growth on both sides may even accelerate. In other words, we aren't giving up our share of the pie, the pie is getting larger.
Trade and democratization are inextricably co-variant. No democracy has ever gone to war against another, nor have any nations with free trade agreements.
I'm guessing you aren't what, in International Relations, is known as an Institutionalist. Personally, I rather like the development of formal international rules, norms and systems. What with them acting as the foundation of a peaceful and democratic international order and all.
It's the rise of Rousseau's Social contract on a grand scale.
Nonsense. Might as well say Democrats hate freedom and want everyone to be poor.
You know what the big difference between Democrats and Republicans is? The policies they think will have the best outcome for the American people.
If you are so convinced you're right that anyone who disagrees must be doing so for evil reasons, then you have abandoned empathy and understanding in favor of partisan rage. You and your blind, ignorant hatred disgust me. Not your party or ideology, you.
Don't be such a crybaby you unhinged loon. Only an idiot says they want to die because someone else has a different perspective or favors different policies.
"Oh no! Somebody who shares the same goals as I has a different opinion on how to achieve them! Boo-hoo I want to die!"
If I recall, he was appointed by the governor because corruption and mismanagement was out-of-control in the county. Somewhat amusing as Governor Deal is infamously corrupt himself - once named the most corrupt member of Congress, he abandoned his seat just ahead of a massive investigation into his behavior. He said it was because he wanted to focus on his gubernatorial run.
It didn't take long for ethics and corruption investigations to be launched against him once he was elected as governor, which he has since been accused of interfering with.
Absolutely ridiculous! It doesn't matter where an American citizen is, the Federal government is still bound by the Constitution to respect and uphold their rights.
The FBI can threaten to torture so long as they don't actually do so (the police are allowed to lie in interrogation), but they can't violate habeus corpus. Where did they find a judge with his head so far up his own ass that there isn't enough light to read the Constitution?
Agents of foreign governments are not party to the Constitution or its protections. Their rights are governed by international treaties and conventions. Individuals can come here and say what they will, but governments are a very different matter. How foreign powers interact with the American people is not a free speech issue, it's a foreign relations issue.
Because the Constitution protects the rights of American Citizens, not foreign governments; whose rights are far more limited, established and protected by a set of international treaties and conventions which do not include unfettered access to broadcast media?
And the law doesn't state that foreign governments can't speak to or be heard by the American people, it states that their intermediaries have to be registered as foreign agents with the Justice department, and that they cannot own more than 20% of a media outlet.
I was thinking about how to set up quick recording to online storage for this exact purpose, as my girlfriend was having trouble with a crooked sheriff, but I never thought about doing it via app. Kinda wish I had thought of it myself, but so long as it exists, I'm happy.
It's not like it's a state secret. Heck, every profession involved has conventions, just send someone to find out what they do! Ask people on the street, watch TV, read trade journals, read the laws and regulations (good luck)! There are a host of easier, legal, means to get that info.
I'll be damned if I'm going to let some smelly, wine-drinking Quebecois talk back to me!
Nah, I'm kidding. I just like teasing our Northern cousins. No offense actually intended.
Seriously though, a parachuter is a radically different case. For one, it's a live person. Second, it's a live person who probably wanted to land somewhere else, but blew off course and can't do much about it. An unintentional trespasser in too much distress to be spying as opposed to a remotely controlled camera.
Scientific/Academic papers are not written for the general public, they are written for other people in the field. People who are familiar with both the terminology and the style. For example, If I were to write a critique of Marx's interpretation of Hegel, I'd probably call it, "A critique of the Marxist interpretation of the Hegelian Historical Dialectic." Simply knowing what the hell the title means would require more than a little familiarity with the field. That familiarity would also provide a warning that the following text will be incredibly dense and complex both conceptually and syntactically. But, you would have a pretty good idea of where I was going with it.
To write the same paper for a general audience would require I write an entire textbook first.

Where did you get all of that false information? It's like saying that all of computer science is targeted at rendering scenes.

Trade = Democracy = Peace.

Or you could look at the region's demographics and party preferences before pulling insults out of your ass http://www.myajc.com/local-gov...
instead of Family Guy, but I'm standing by my decision to wait till this morning to find out what happened. (I live near Atlanta)

I believe he was appointed by a Republican governor if that makes you feel better. Don't know why it would. I know I'm not proud of it.

Yup. Corruption in the county is out of hand. It's a factor in the move towards cityhood.
The US has 10x the population of Canada. Mightn't that be a factor in what systems are feasible?

The good news is that there is a linux version of "This War of Mine", a handy guidebook to situations such as this.

I find that update notifications for QT are just a reminder that I have to uninstall it. Can't think of a single reason to have it on a PC.
They do not. The Apple Update software is responsible for all updates, and it will try to install QT, never remove it.
Well, I was going to put it in the water softener tank, but we can accelerate it at each other if you'd prefer.

I checked the links and there isn't even an artist's rendering of a proposed design!
