    Yeah, but making taxes difficult to do also creates animosity towards the IRS which directly helps the talking points of the right.

    The ONLY way to stop this shit is to label all ISP as common carriers. This is the most important issue of our time because if the ISP's knock down net neutrality they can easily force us into PIPA and SOPA.

    That's right. I don't use dropbox and never will as long as they have ANYONE on their board who supports the NSA. I am against the NSA, TSA, patriot act, and I think those issues are where I share ground with intelligent conservatives.

    I said BCBS had the majority of ACA marketplace enrollees, not the majority of people insured. I never claimed that everyone in the US was buying plans on the marketplace through the exchanges. I have already provided you a link substantiating the claims I made. Now where is your evidence that the books are cooked? I am waiting...

    Well point inc is a member of blue cross blue shield. If you add the numbers from well-point inc to just blue cross then you will get a majority. Read your own damn link

    Your numbers do not include the expansion of medicaid for states that chose to accept federal funding to provide care for those below the poverty line. For example Kentucky cut its uninsured rate by 50% with the expansion of medicaid.

    BCBS is a consortium of insurers coming together and offering plans. The BCBS group accounts for the majority of the enrollment, so if their numbers show that customers enrolled and paid, then the numbers are fairly accurate. Also why do you not have any sources for faking the numbers? I provided you a BCBS source. Please provide me a statement from a health insurer indicating that sufficient number of people have not signed up.

    What the fuck does this have to do with tolerance. Why would I want someone who supports the Patriot Act, NSA, TSA, basically everything big brotherish to sit on the board of a cloud based storage company. That basically says to me that I should expect that the data will be sold to the highest bidder and I have no privacy.

    Blue cross Blue shield has said that 80 to 85% of all enrollees had paid. http://www.chron.com/news/medi... My question to you is do you have any evidence other than speculation that the enrollment books are being cooked? Because even fox news cannot find any one who has hard evidence that the books are cooked and you and I both know that if someone came forward with that information they would be instantly famous.

    All the insurance companies are are private entities. All of them seem to be putting out similar numbers in terms of those enrolled. If you really believe the numbers are phony, why don't you find a publicly traded insurance company and file an SEC complaint for defrauding shareholders if you really think the numbers are bogus.

    The reference is the PBS documentary on the rise of silicon valley from its roots. Also, I am not sure what population growth has anything to do with causing advancement of science. If anything it is the other way around. Population growth was enable by advancement in hygiene and medicine. Also I would say that science really did not advance during 1200 even controlled for population as near 1600.

    Yes, but at no time did science advance as quickly as between 1960 to the present. You do realize that NASA and the DOD was buying 90% of all transistors made in the 60's and 70's which started the whole digital revolution. You keep pretending like the government had no role in promoting any scientific progress because it suits your ideology.

    I don't know if that rule applies anymore. It seems that there are more incompetent people in managerial positions nowadays because of all the MBA and HR types that call the shots instead of true engineers. Real management is hard as any engineer will tell you, but ask any MBA or HR drone and they will tell you that they are all perfect managers. The real problem is that the more incompetent someone is, the more oblivious they are of their own incompetence even though it is painfully obvious to the talented people around them.
