  1. I remember the first time President Choom signed a bill extending the PATRIOT act, despite having said (correctly) during his first presidential campaign that it's unconstitutional. Anyone who still supported him after that was either not paying attention, or a goddamned hypocrite.

  2. There are legitimate reasons for the NSA's data access.

    If that were true, they could convince a neutral magistrate to issue legal warrants.

  4. I prefer the term "co-conspirator". This is felony wiretapping on an industrial scale: not merely illegal, but specifically forbidden by the 4th amendment. Everyone involved in this belongs behind bars.

    How's your hobby of being a judgmental prick working out for you? Does it make you feel mature, or just old?

    I'm sure it greatly disappoints you that people like things that you don't. It must be even worse to realize that your approval is neither sought nor required.

    You have no idea what you're talking about, but don't let that stop you!

    What keeps poor people poor in south america is the looting carried out by the local kleptocrats. See Venezuela for the current egregious example.

    Capitalism is why poverty is in retreat over most of the globe today.

    pretending that government isn't for the corporations

    Close, but not quite. Government is for government, and corporations are a means to that end.

    His idea of a perfect world is one in which taxpayers pay him to write code, and there are no private companies to hire his friends away for bigger salaries than they can get at MIT.

    Nikola's not using metal tanks. This 2018. The tanks are carbon fiber, with a polymer lining (not sure what the composition of that is), they contain pressurized, not liquid H2 and they operate at 10K PSI. The fact that we don't need massive metal tanks anymore is one of the things that makes their product possible.

  25. The reason I'm not a cable TV subscriber is because those assholes won't just sell me what I want. I don't care about sportsball, I don't want a couple dozen shopping channels, and I don't want 90% of what's in their "packages". Just sell me the movie channels, my local network affiliates, and I'm pretty much done.
