    we do have a problem with it, you are very naive. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McCarthyism

    your government is mostly comprised of evil and twisted power and money grubbing people in the pockets of large corporations. They are transforming the USA into a corporate fascist police state.

  2. Re:nonsense, 15% of government shut down on Fusion "Breakthrough" At National Ignition Facility? Not So Fast · · Score: 1

    at the national lab I worked at in the late 80s to mid 90s, there were 2500 people of which three I know of worked for the DOE. the rest worked under a consortium contractor or were contractors themselves.

  3. Re:succession is the only practical option on CPJ Report: the Obama Administration and Press Freedoms · · Score: 1

    there would be some rather steep obstacles for a seceeding state to overcome.

    over hear in Crook County, IL, then might find the Chinese government's ideas intriguing and would wish to suscribe to their newsletter

  11. Re:Perspective on Saudi Justice: 10 Years and 2,000 Lashes For Internet Video of Naked Dancing · · Score: 1

    so then those monsters are back in society back to their old tricks. good thinking. Actually, in Saudi arabia, those with the last name Saudi (so to speak) get to rape and murder. I'd not hold up their land as an example of how to do anything.

    but what do you have to do to get the death penalty these days? it's good we have a death penalty for the monsters. gets the dangerous trash off the planet. no relevance for comparison with harsh punishments for rowdy silly behaviour

    no, the Federal Funds Rate is currently 0.25% and for overnight loans. very short term so does not have the explosive inflationary effect you seem to imagine.

  23. Re:All that, and yet ... on New High Tech $100 Bills Start To Circulate Today · · Score: 2

    not true, the only reason the programs failed was because the government cowardly refused to proactively remove and destroy $1 bills. the lifetime of a $1 bill is only 18 months on average, in two years the country could be converted over
