While I like the sentiment I doubt it will be effective in the end. Google and FB have huge numbers of talented engineers. They will find ways to dig through any attempts you make to hide your data from them. The fact is, the very usefulness of online services seduces most people into freely sharing everything. Only the most paranoid will succeed in hiding and by doing so they will deny themselves a lot of services and useful benefits of the Internet.
Not in Middle Georgia at least. I'm inundated by bugs of all types. My car is covered in them from driving at night, they fly all around my yard, they eat the fruit on my trees, my vegetables. They need to come here and collect all they want, free of charge. For a fee I'll box a swarm up and ship it to them.
Only a person's driving record should be considered. If they don't have accidents and driving offenses on their record what in hell does it matter what email they use?
I considered it worth it because at the local level most outfits have stewards and officers that care about their members. I successfully arbitrated many cases and forced management to abide by the contract but our ability to litigate was severely curtailed by lack of support and often outright hindrance from the National and Regional office. We could have done much better with a real union at the upper level.
I was a Union Steward for my local and I can tell you from personal experience that the only benefit Unions have provided for the last 3 decades at least is at the local level. The National office preyed on us constantly sucking money out of us while they whored around on "working" vacations in Puerto Rico and Hawaii. The top level of the big unions is so corrupt it's indescribable. We struggled to pay for arbitration fees while they jetted around like kings. That is the reason the Unions are dying.
You're short sighted. If you split into 6 states with 4 liberals that would give the dims 6 more Senators while the Rs would gain only 4. It would however weaken the dim's hold on all the natural resources of the state.
Actually that's impossible too. You're asking the majority of states to cede even more power to the Federal government. Essentially committing suicide.
I don't doubt some do but most people know, as I do, that some people are smarter than them, just as some are stronger and some are faster and some are better looking. Only pathetic people are jealous over attributes distributed by the random chance of birth. No one feels inadequate unless someone goes out of their way to rub it in their face. The few that do are bitter and sad because envy and jealousy will rot your soul.
Nobody looks down on intelligent people, they look down on arrogant asswipes who think they know it all. I've known intelligent people far smarter than me and had no problem with them. They talked to me like I wasn't a simple minded idiot for one thing although to them I probably seemed like one. Far too many people on slashdot don't seem to be half as smart as they think they are yet insist on telling you how brilliant they are.
Agriculture uses about 80 percent of the water in California. It takes a lot of water to make deserts bloom. As far as cities like Cape Town, there is a limit to how many people certain areas can support. Eventually you reach such a high population that the land can't support it without massive projects.
The real safety issue is the lack of respect our government has for the Constitution. I for one am not happy with the whole secret court, secret warrant and other "Patriot Act" nonsense. The government has immense power and only wants more and more. The most dangerous thing in any society is a government that forgets it rules for the people and not OVER them.
But right now both sides can use that tactic, that's called free speech. When only one side gets to tell their bullshit that is censorship. The fact that anyone could make a serious pitch for censoring free speech is chilling.
The Mormons were violent when they practiced polygamy. Today it is not practiced by Mormons except for some fringe groups. One thing that is certain, young men without women are a problem regardless of religion.

If I was homeless I'd want to live in Hawaii. I spent 4 months there on a job once and I hated to leave. The weather was perfect.

He looks like an old Alfred E. Neuman.
Don't worry, Wray is about to be fired from his job on The Apprentice-White House Edition.

I mostly agree with you but without the parasites at the top it could be so much better.

I never had any interest in it. I could see Puerto Rico as a state but certainly not DC.

That's a pretty novel idea, that'll never catch on. It's more important to save the planet from wiring that doesn't disintegrate over time.
We used twine laced with arsenic when I installed wiring in tech control facilities. They don't get immune to it.

You know if they didn't they'd tell you. So of course you have your answer right there.

Perhaps you're just too damn sensitive?
I am speaking in generalities. There are certainly exceptions.
The Mormons were violent when they practiced polygamy. Today it is not practiced by Mormons except for some fringe groups. One thing that is certain, young men without women are a problem regardless of religion.
Every dog and cat I've owned LOVED milk when they could get it. They have problems with milking the damn cows though.
They're mostly banning bots. I'm glad of that, I had to spend too much time ridding my timeline of them.
