You guys have fenced off a prime pasture that people have clamored for years to have a road built to access. Now you are complaining because people are forced to walk through the mud?
My poorly stated point is anyone who supports Obama Care would 10 times prefer a single payer system, but we will take what we can get, baby steps are better then sitting down and crying.
I loved "My Side of the Mountain", I was just recently considering locating a copy for my daughter to read. However, it is a very different story and dealt with a different part of the country then "Where the Red Fern Grows".
The Foxfire series is more instructional, I have read some of them. They don't deal so much with local social customs and the interactions of youths.
A good fictional story can more easily reach people and make them understand things from a certain perspective. It doesn't even have to be a perspective they agree with. Good fiction is powerful, look at "The Turner Diaries".
Many corporations are multi-national. They are just a sort of limited liability partnership which takes the form of a legal fiction in our society. However, they could easily exist without a government. What would prevent it?
They require a charter because our society recognizes (some) of the ways they can wield power and the founding fathers were familiar with the ability of corporations to do evil unless they are regulated.
wrong, wrong, wrong... You are either woefully misinformed or intentionally muddying the issue.
From the FCC report; Finally, we decline to apply our rules directly to coffee shops, bookstores,
airlines, and other entities when they acquire Internet service from a broadband provider to enable
their patrons to access the Internet from their establishments (we refer to these entities as
“premise operators”).162 These services are typically offered by the premise operator as an
ancillary benefit to patrons. However, to protect end users, we include within our rules
broadband Internet access services provided to premise operators for purposes of making service
available to their patrons.163open Internet rules, we note that addressing traffic unwanted by a premise operator is a legitimate
network management purpose.164
Corporations are not extension of the government. I think there needs to be a separation of corp and state like our separation of church and state.
At least unions have some sort of democratic feedback. Even public corps are all non-binding votes with no recourse for owners except dumping their stock. The management is in total control. Even privately owned companies are disconnected from the owners, look at Bain Capital, Romney was the sole owner and he claims no control or responsibility for decisions and day to day operations.
I use my Android phone because it is always in my pocket. I can read afew pages in line at the grocery or while I'm waiting to pick up a kid. I can pop it out to "take notes" during a boring meeting and read while I'm waiting for a drive to image. Pulling out a dedicated e-reader would give me something extra to carry or loose, and look less professional. I probably read 2 to 3 books a week.
Get rid of your cellphone while you are at, every company wants their customers taxed. They are always arguing that any taxes a company pays are passed on to the consumers (technically true, but still a cleverly crafted lie).
I think amazon also sees a lot of companies getting sweetheart deals that allow them to keep the sales tax they collect for building a store in a certain state or municipality. They probably want in on that cash.
Got mine, as in I'm up the social/financial ladder, who cares if I break every rung on the way up and wherever my shit goes when I dump over the edge is not my concern.
It taught me a bit about how rural people lived in the years it depicted. It taught me how to trap a racoon. It also taught me a little bit about human nature.
This is off the top of my head about 20 years after I read the book. I remember it as quite a good book.
I took a general communications class expecting to get nothing out of it except some required credits. I still use things I learned in that class every day, over a decade later. It opened my eyes to another way of seeing things.
None of this conflicts with students being encouraged to have their own opinions or views, its about students being able to understand others opinions and views, and is part of the foundation on which the ability to critically evaluate others' viewpoints, and their own, is built.
Spot on! This is what infuriates the right wing pundits most of all.
From the wikipedia entry, Chandrayaan operated for 312 days as opposed to the intended two years but the mission achieved 95 percent of its planned objectives
So, it looks like they did non even engineer to the required specs.

So, without the government, you don't think it would be possible to obfuscate ownership enough to avoid liability? That's risible.

True, but how many parents do you see out there teaching ethics. How many people have you worked with that seem to have a good set of ethics.

Writing in your own words is easy, typing in your own words (when that other paragraph is just a copy-and-paste away) is difficult.
Interesting, you sound like someone who reads as little as necessary...

Yes, we the people need to establish our own right to privacy and clarify the 4th amendment for today's technology.
Separation of Business and Goverment.
Rights of people, not corporation
