There's no reason for private citizens to believe unencrypted communications government can spy on are harmless. Evidence: All of human history, and the reasons behind free speech and right against search and seizure.
I alwo fail to see how the rebuttal quotes prove anything "insane" about the FF. Both are quite reasonable, too.
Presumably he was on about fear of government intervention (marijuana, or making new things illegal) vs. claims of one government money supply as a good thing. But that "contradiction" seems to be something cycling around leftist disasterbation circles rather than anything inherent in either the founding fathers or more modern libertarian concepts.
Banks made their own money, and debts, including government ones, were to be paid back typically in with the same bank's money. To stop bankers from jerking things around, the government creates its own money, even thouh nominally it's a private company constructed by Congress.
If the detractor wants to talk about keeping out competition from other currenies, fair enough, but I doubt he's looked into it even that far.
I have no love of overlords. That the reason for their overlordhood shifts throuh the decades and centuries doesn't change anything. So they have to jump thru an election hoop, but otherwise presumptively have all power options open to them buys a small improvememt, or does it just buy delay in accumulated interference until the economy is, dollar for dollar, little different from a governmemt with massive corruption and you have to pay officials to get out of the way?
Throw money at fines and fees and lawyers and politicians, or throw it to them in a closed room, the result is the same.
The metamod system (does it even exist anymore?) is full of fail, and infected by the same infection that downmods people with different opinions. "No, that downmod of (some opinion I disagree with) is perfectly fine. +1 metamod!"
capabilities of Google Glass and heightened concern over privacy in general, thanks to the NSA data surveillance controversy."
The guy's an idiot, then. If anything saves us from 1984 it will be everybody having this stuff on all the time. It's the politicians misusing it that's the problem, and if everything they do is recorded (to say nothing of common criminality)...
It depends what Google is trying to do -- if they want to innovate, that requires the very top most creative types who drive humanity forward.
If typical management squashes them down over the years, shuttling them into uninteresting projects, no wonder some flop. You need to search this out and work at cultivating it.
There was a study where they asked people if they could put small signs in their yards for something innocuous. After awhile, they came back and asked if they could put a slightly larger sign in. Most said yes. Then they brought in larger and larger signs, until eventually these giant, obnoxious signs were in peoples' yards, signs that nobody accepted if approached with them to begin with.
This was people making an "emotional investment" in something, and refusing to give up on it. This is heavily involved in casinos and gambling, too. People will continue to throw good money after bad.
Now take this and put it in the context of getting people to support a guy who's petered along with a terrible economy for 4 years.
Magnificent job by his people. I suppose. Umm, congrats?
It's the use of the shell companies that suggests scurrilous behavior on their part, making it difficult to track things to real people, or the actual real people rather than 10 layers of janitors acting as CEO figureheads of paper-only companies.
Gaming the system may be legal, but is scurrilous.
China is saving more lives abandoning communism and heavy socialism, as we are witnessing. Would that the west keep that in mind as it rockets in the wrong direction, living off past glories of economic freedom.
Murder people? You've gotta be kidding. There's a reason you don't execute rapists or failed attempted murderers -- "If you're gonna be exected anyway, well, dead women tell no tales."
Presumably dead inspectors tell no tales, either.:(
By the way, if your impulse to the OP is "Good!", you habe serious problems, wanting to murder political opposition. Eh, these people are in favor of censorship, so it's not surprising.
Go ahead. Censor me because you don't like being accused of having a desire to censor people who claim you like censoring.

Sure it is. Just let it run in the background. That speed is way faster than you can listen to it.
If only the laws Congress passed were clearly notified with their sponsors, This Corporation or That Union.
But that would be addressing an issue at least 5 orders of magnitude bigger.
This. I have a right to remember things you voluntarily and unasked told the entire planet.
I've probably eaten 5 Twinkies in my life. We were a Ding Dong household -- that was our choice from mom.
I will say, Ding Dongs lost some cachet moving away from a tinfoil wrapper. Oh those glorious vacuumjammers!

denegation : n An undoing of a previous denial; double entendre; confused blathering de + negate + tion.
I'd paste in the dictionary's sample sentence, but the GP post did already.

Well, after we defeated the Soviet Union in the space race, money collapsed.
ZOMG CHINA CHINA CHINA is going to the moon and Mars, now we have to ZOMG exascale computers in China ZOMG.
The sleeping giant may have trouble stirring running up a trillion dollars in debt every year. Good luck!
This was the first electronically-stored program. Earlier computers had things like tubes of mercury with vibrations travelling down them to do the same thing.

Ladies and gentlemen, history will title this period "1983".

Now that it exists, I suspect board makers will rise to the challenge. Rates of feeding data to 3D cards kept up.

That's Anti-Sir-Bono, to you.
Hell, no.
I agree the DVR thing is bad, but remember they just wanna know if you might want to buy Depends.
Government spying is historically misused to spy on opposition, and is an actual, serious issue.
