Most seeds (also non-GM) are made sterile so the farmers must buy new seeds every year. Otherwise the farmer could save a part of his crop to use as seeds the next time.
And no, many GMOs are not poisenous, they are just engineerded in such a way that you'll need less (or no) insecticide/herbicide/fungicide, wich seems good...until you find out the plant is designed to produce the X-icides on its own.
And many consumer interest organisations in Europe hold the view that IF you allow GM food, that the consumer should be able to READ it on the label. But the manufacturers don't want that even though they claim the food is perfectly safe...
The American GM industry (and it's disciple, the USA Government) want the Europeans not only to accept GM food but also not to know when they eat it.
A free market can only exist when buyers can make fully informed choices.
Believing the results from a commercial IQ test isn't very smart...
Also it is probably pretty difficult to extend this operation principle to flexible paper like display, as it relies on a mechanical effect.
According to the website:
A display using their technology would be thinner than a LCD screen.
They're investigating plastic substrates. (the manufacturing process uses lower temperatures than LCD fabrication.)
It's using MEMS (= Micro Electro-Mechanical System) devices. These are small enough not to break off from a bended substrate (if you succeed in putting them on it).

Banning parties wont' help.
politicians will form groups by 'trading' votes anyway:
"If you back me up with my pet amendment, i'll back you up with yours".
They'll rationalize it with the notion that their amendment is so much more more important than the other one, besides no one has to know...
Democracy works, not because the majority is right, but because the majority is divided.
Arguably, it means the end of democracy:
Either you've got a voting system that is secure or you've got one that's comprehensible by people with a sub-120 IQ.
Democracy works, not because the majority is right, but because the majority is divided.
You can only purchase so many, for so long, until you've run out of money.
Nope, any entity that buys just enough votes to tip the scales in favour of a corrupted candidate can make so much money they can tip the scales the next election too.

According to the Powers that Were in Europe, most emigrants (from Europe to the New World) were criminals and scum.
According to the native americans most immigrants were criminals and scum.
Most the people who cross illegally into the US are criminals and scum. The conclusion is inevitable: Most the people who crossed legally into the US were criminals and scum.
Considering that criminal traits are genetically acquired...
So you oppose not to criminals coming into the US but how they come in? But what can you expect from criminals?
E_elven: No, the problem is that of voting for people who can win because all the other schmoes think the same way instead of risking an opinion. Lord Kano: MY vote means very little, but the votes of millions of people like me matter very much.
Vote (together with millions of people like you) for the candidate you really want.
If Pat had a those millions of votes wouldn't that be a very strong signal for George ?
Wouldn't he shift his policies in the direction of Pats (or at least claim to do so)? Wouldn't that mean that you got more out of voting for Pat than out of voting for George?

What's the problem?
Humans will get themselves extinct, then nature can take its course. Then the sun will fry the earth. And finally the universe will collapse or die a cold death. So much the better.
If you can print a conductive ink you can print an isolating one too. So you can print any circuit if you're willing to do multiple passes (wich is quite common in offset printing), and that includes some 'component circuits' like inductors as well.
And when when you can print transistors...

Why not use a oiltanker?
Sure, zeppelins are faster, but can't carry much load compared to a vessel.
BTW, when using a zeppelin, why use helium at all? In your scheme you have to carry the helium with you, lowering the load capacity (H2 in storage tanks).
Sounds very 'rational', but: If you - as a member of a social group - help to increase the survival chance of other members of that group, then your group as a whole will prosper, including you.
So it will also increase the proliferation of your genes.

Not even counting in the amount of energy they use just for being lifted from the surface.

Well, that's a nice definition of intelligence. Great criterion too, for deciding what to eat.
IIRC, the native Americans didn't eat turkeys because they were stupid animals.
I like vegetarians, that is, on a plate.
Sorry, that was supposed to read ...(low mu)
Yep, that's what he thinks.
Man, this one is wearing a tin foil hat, prolly doesn't even know it's made of aluminum (low ).
Somehow i get the sense that your REAL PEERS are more among the National Inquirer types...
...unless i'm overrating you.
What a majority says is not right per se, it's just less likely to be questioned...
But really, how different need the voters to be, to get the same results independantly?

Follow this train of thought for S(2), the 2D sphere in 3D space, or the Earth
Nope, it's S(3) moving through 2D 'space'.
Now make the analagous visualization for S(3), the 3D sphere in 4D space.
In a similar manner, it's S(4) moving through 3D 'space'.
