Of course it's sarcasm. My other post to this article was modded flamebait (http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=1658158&cid=32271774). I like to cover all the bases.
Well can you blame them? If you have a simplistic, fundamentalist view of the world then of course your simple truisms seem obvious and everyone else sounds like some kind of elitist, telling you to read books and go to school and shit. Everything you need to know you read on Lew Rockwell's blog, so these elitists are obviously persecuting you for your beliefs.
Ron Paul free marketeers favor their interpretations of the constitution in exactly the same way that fundamentalist christian sects think they have the true interpretation of the bible. Except instead of "faith" they rely on "smug" to insulate their egos from information that does not fit with their world view.
This regulation will only strangle growth and innovation, slowing our economic recovery. But I guess it's easier to carry out a regulatory vendetta than it is to appreciate that the simple, universal truths of Austrian economics.
If these are the same scientists that discovered "global warming" then I figure these new airport scanners, far from being dangerous, may actually cure all sorts of diseases.
Funny thing, I've never actually met or read any posts by these mythical Obama-worshippers that I keep hearing about. In fact, every single time someone has referred to him as the Messiah, it's been a right-winger.
You're surprised by this now? You haven't noticed all the Ron Paulogists and linux libertarians that swarm on every political story? (and some science now too, see climate change)
This attitude is like saying you're never going to use open source again until all open source developers admit that the Debian OpenSSL incident proved that open source is fundamentally and flawed.
The beauty of the free market is that it always produces the cheapest, most efficient, and highest quality outcome. Even if you work in government, if you are smart enough to let private industry dictate requirements and bid on projects you will always realize a quality far beyond what you'd get if you asked lazy proles like teachers and IT staff what they think.
This sounds like BS to me. If Blackboard was so bad, they would fail in the free marketplace and be put out of business. Since the value judgments of the free market are beyond reproach, the fact that Blackboard still exists and in fact is very expensive, means it is highly valuable and therefore good.
I suspect you are just a communist detractor with elitist opinions.
Slashdot Mirror
This supernova is catching on, I tell you!
Time Warner is in for $550 million according to this: http://www.zdnet.com/blog/btl/wimax-saved-sprint-clearwire-form-joint-venture-google-intel-among-backers/8750
Yeah, just like Exxon Valdez. All traces of that spill vanished in what, 2-4 weeks?
Yes, well, /. threads are often libertarian echo chambers.

Uh, excuse me I'm pretty sure anything American beats the pants off anything European. That's home come it's America, jackass.

Yep, in the end the panopticon emerged because enough people chose to opt in. No conspiracy required.
Shooting all our remaining gold into space so they can shine lasers at it. Typical.

GO BACK TO RUSSIA, COMMUNIST!

It must be awesome having a persecution complex so strong that the Imperial March from Star Wars plays in your head whenever you see Obama on TV.

En libertad, como los pajarillos.
En libertad, que nadie me pregunte: a dónde vas?
Yeah, that's the lesson here. I swear, Slashdot is whinier than a bunch of teenage girls. Remind me to never read this site again.

Or maybe stupid shit just happens. You don't need a conspiracy for everything. Let me guess, Ron Paul supporter?
Me too. It is.

"nice"
But Ron Paul will bring back the old free market and make us all rich with gold again! Right?
