"provide venture capital to new companies to keep the economy moving!"
Not really! All products made by any company will in some way always be bought by a private person.Any products bought by a company are just machinery/investments into there own products.
So the thing that keeps it moving is private persons spending there money instead of investing it.
"I could care less if granny rotted on the streets. Survival of the fittest says her dumb ass would have saved some money if she was smart. If not, oh well."
If you read this you will see that the USA is within the description of democracy.
Plus what i wanted to say was not that the USA is not a republic. But that it looks like the elected representevis does not have the interest of the peopel of the USA.

All this about brings back memmory of when my friend said it was time to move to the PC.
He had writen a simple application in anci c for the amiga and was porting it to the PC. When he ran the program the first time he thought something was wrong. Becouse on the amiga (1200) loading and parsing a ~1 meg data file took about 1m while on his 486 100Mhz it took just secounds.
It was quite funny =)

"Or the USSR could have built up a stockpile and wiped us out."
The USSR leders was never out to kill USA. As the USA was afraid USSR, USSR was afraid of the USA.
Just a note! The USSR had good resons to be afraid as the USA had a history of hostility against the USSR. And had seen that the USA had a supper boom witch they where willing to use.
"Totalitarianism is any political system in which a citizen is totally subject to state authority in all aspects of day-to-day life. It goes well beyond dictatorship or typical police state measures, and even beyond those measures required to sustain total war with other states. It involves constant brainwashing achieved by propaganda to erase any potential for dissent, by anyone, including most especially the state's agents."

"Just How are you going to do this witjout power?"
Mass movment and hand guns and the army if they feel killing there own people is wrong.
I dont think it's forgoten. Its just that nothing can be done about it. Its like growing upp and accapting the system you live in. You once thught it was wrong, but you noteced you make more money when you playalong.
No country can stand up to the US. Thats why the US still has Europeans in CUBA. Might be alies, but not equals!

"little fantasy world every geeks looks liks RMS"
Yes but to be uber geek in wy world you need to look like RMS. (it just shows how much more you value content than surface)
"You'd be amazed at how much easier it is to listen to someone who looks professional,"
I usualy fell that in tech the people who stoped caring about there looks cares a lot more about there work.
Looks has more to do with sales than being "professional"
Looks helps when selling something to someone that dose not know you or the subject.

"That's how it works." Maybe the way it works today is not so great ?
Its strange how in a "Democracy" a lot of things are made into law evan when it is not wanted by the people.
How can it be called a "Democracy" when reality is like this ? (Becouse you can vote ?)

Noop! It has to do with code reuse. The code just gets more genral and bigger. But it also gets easyer to develop.
So we get big and slow quick and cheep.

"Simple setup with no routeing of wires,"
Why not just integrate a network cable into to the power cabel and upgrade your sockets with network connection ?
Seams simpler to me... All things need power. Why not give them a net connection with the same cable?
