yes, I'll agree some jobs require gear to do efficiently. I once had a job where it was beneficial to have gerber multi-tool in a holster, however if most people did that they would just be wearing jewelry.

nonsense, there are generic $20 a month birth control pills
no need for exam, many countries sell them over the counter since pregnancy carries far, far more risk than any problem the pill would complicate. big healthcare and big pharmy just need to be beaten down in the USA. anyway, the free clinics for poor people do the exam and even give away a couple months pills. you really, really have to be stupid in the USA to have unwanted pregnancy in 97%+ of cases
such people become more limited in what they can do without corporation and corporate rights. and there is more that can be done to individuals to fight corruption
I was hoping Obama would reverse some of the big corporate control in this country compared to what the Republican party has been doing for decades, but instead we have president who talks the talk while walking the same mega-corporate bitch walk. Even "Obamacare" doesn't have a robust public option because it just keeps the same greedy big corporations in the healthcare loop, so no end to the cost spiral
I use FreeDOS with grub in it to multi-boot thin clients that can only boot from a FAT formatted partition. funny some HP thin clients require that, others don't. I make "servers" out of thin clients, usually with OpenBSD
of course it is a food source, this is why the most dire of predictions about certain catastrophic oil spills didn't happen (yes, they were very bad anyway). there are bacteria that eat petroleum, there are bacteria that can eat petroleum products. of course, this could still be a food chain problem if larger organisms consume the bacteria and are poisoned or otherwise sickened or malnourished.
also, maybe the amount of plastic in land fills vs. ocean is underestimated.
nonsense, not about revoking first amendment, corporations were created by law and thus can be altered or destroyed (for example, by demoting to merely type of business) by law or amendment
money being used to corrupt government is the issue, we can take away the feeding tube for evil desire by those in government, we can attract a different kind of person to be in government
you are being a shill for corporate fascism, somehow equating a corporation with a person. they are not humans, they are not born with inalienable rights and liberties. we can keep the bill of rights, and deny it to corporations
wrong, a corporation can be deprived of any wealth or liberty or freedom by law, since they only have existence by mere law. they are very different from humans in that regard. They could be demoted to a kind of businesss not much different than mom and pop shop
this issue has nothing to do with who is president, nor can any president solve the problem. remember Douglas Adam's words, the purpose of a president is not to wield power but merely to distract attention from those who do.
who said anything about revoking the First Amendment? This is not an issue of freedom of religion, speech, assembly or petition.
We are talking of corruption, of money controlling our lawmakers and executive branch. We are talking of cutting out control by large corporations who have circumvented the democratic process.
reminds me of incident The Algonquin Round Table, a bunch of writers, critics, actors, comedians, etc. that met at lunch daily at Algonquin Hotel in NYC from 1919 to 1929:
(friend feeling top of playwright Marc Connelly's bald head) ""Marc, your head feels as smooth as my wife's ass."
Marc Connelly (feeling top of his own head): "why so it does, so it does"
the mega-corporations (banking cartel, big oil, defense, etc.) that have our government in their pockets won't be stopped or hindered by this well-intentioned idea. something more drastic would be needed, constitutional amendment using path of national convention and ratifying states

sure, great for some sports and some jobs too. part of the gear. can't see the sense for most people though
funny, the boats I've been on for fishing on Lake Michigan had clocks. and gps, etc.
that's right, VOIP phones we call land line, quite common in offices these days.
printing a requirement of the industry I'm in, bet that's because of the watch wearers
they are, no practical need for them in most cases. male jewelry with a timepiece, that's what you're wearing
yes, I'll agree some jobs require gear to do efficiently. I once had a job where it was beneficial to have gerber multi-tool in a holster, however if most people did that they would just be wearing jewelry.
my cell phone does that, don't need a second clock strapped to my wrist, how l 19th and 20th century.
First wristwatch was in 1868, the last one needed was over 20 years ago.
even more clocks are everywhere now, on system desktop, on the land line phone, on my printer.....

people still wear those silly bracelets with clocks on them? why?

they're extinct, the hoop snakes would run them over, then eat them
nonsense, contraception is cheap. people can buy their own damn contraception, cheaper than a movie per week.

yes, talking about same guy. he can start enforcing existing law in all kinds of ways if he really wanted to do something, but Obama is all talk
wrong, a corporation can be deprived of any wealth or liberty or freedom by law, since they only have existence by mere law. they are very different from humans in that regard. They could be demoted to a kind of businesss not much different than mom and pop shop
I only give as example, one of many possible scenarios
we can certainly do anything to a corporation, strip anything from it, by law, without impact on individual liberties
nonsense, you invent a straw man "Changing the situatio requires rewriting the first amendment"
no, it doesn't.
a corporation can be stripped of any and all rights, even to exist as legal entity, just for example, and individual liberty remains.
yes, slap a solar panel charged usb port on anything and it becomes "smart" and "sustainable" and "next generation"
