Not having a "tax" on environmental damage causes everyone who is effected by damage to the environment to subsidize industry that damages the environment.
While it is hard to put a monetary value on environmental damage, its obviously not $0. If an industry is making money damaging the environment, that may be fine, but some of the money really should go to everyone living in the damaged environment.
Its also nice to see individual states take the lead in issues like this.
It seems like the other defendants (at least the US ones) could be much easier targets than the Chinese government. Possibly the supply chain could be stopped at that level if China is unwilling to settle.
Section 2 (b) as quoted above does apply to Interpol, but that was given by Reagen. Obama just modified what Reagen did to add these sections:
Section 2(c), Section 3, Section 4, Section 5, and Section 6 of that Act.
Section 2(c), which provided officials immunity from their property and assets being searched and confiscated; including their archives;
the portions of Section 2(d) and Section 3 relating to customs duties and federal internal-revenue importation taxes;
Section 4, dealing with federal taxes;
Section 5, dealing with Social Security; and
Section 6, dealing with property taxes.
Google's netbook is not going to require applications to be approved or signed by Google. The apps just need to run through your browser and come in from a remote server. This hardly the same thing. Furthermore its open source and if you really want to run local software you can make that happen.
Free speech through anonymity is kind of cool and really important in some parts of the world where thats the only kind of free speech available. However free speech without the need for anonymity is way better. Also there is something to be said for being proud and responsible for the things you say. And this means putting your name on them.
I guess I should clarify. I am not saying that all encrypted communications are secure. But if you and the person you are talking to understand what you are doing then a secure private message can be sent without too much trouble, even over a completely open channel such as a wire tapped email or a slashdot post.
If your encrypted communications are not private then you are doing them wrong. A law can give someone the legal right to look at your communications, however if you understand encryption you can still send private communications.
Don't get me wrong, I value my privacy. But the government is only one of many possible people who could be eavesdropping and if I am doing something I really want private having it be illegal to eavesdrop really isn't enough, you need to make it prohibitively difficult for someone to eavesdrop.
Now you're educating people to a high standard and then sending them back to their original home
Honestly as an american this sounds like a really good thing to me. We live in world where information, technology and people can easily move from one country to another. Improving the education and technological level of other countries (even at the expense of our own) makes the world a better place.
If your flying between two countries, neither of which are the US and you experience security measures you don't like then thats not our fault. Thats your government or your aircraft companies and you should take it up with them.
And honestly, I can't imagine not caring about a few thousand people dieing, no matter where they were from.
The US is a nation of immigrants (sorry if any Native Americans are reading this:p). While there are lots of different ethnic groups here, they have all become americans and are _much_ closer to each other then they are to the places they came from. Sure you can say the average color is changing and that would mean a lot if you were used to a monochromatic country. But its america, who cares what the color is?

Backup your important data.
Encrypt your sensitive data.
These two steps are as important and effective with the cloud as they are with any other form of storage.

Any government that puts free drugs in my bag is OK by me...

The USA has a population of around 300,000,000, or around 5% of the world population. I
Its about time that the other 95% started pulling their weight :)

Wow, ask your grandfather about Germany's friendlier laws and culture.
