    I think the my party is better than your party is claptrap.

    It's nothing more than divide and conquer.

    Regardless of party affiliation I see no Congress Critters that aren't in the pockets of some corp or lobby group.

    Our political system currently knows nothing about serving anyone but the elite.

    You say republican like there's another political group that doesn't want complete subservience to the vested elite.

    You act like there's a party that doesn't want that. Please do keep in mind this type of shit knows no party lines.

    R or D doesn't matter if they agree to allow this type of bullshit they are assholes.

    Seriously how much are we spending on the witch hunt for terrorists?

    Can they show results of thwarted attacks to merit such spending? If not the assholes should be removed from office.

    On a side note I'd be interested to find out if there are any ties between these people and those that have the contracts to provide hardware for this project.

    The Constitution does give the people the right to remove power from the gov, of course history tells when those that have that power will not give it up freely.

    What we've learned from our history is the stronger power typically enslaves the weaker, why would you think non-terrestrial intelligence wouldn't enslave us?

    535 members in Congress, replaced with chimps, I should expect with that many chimps we'd get Shakespeare or the very least laws and solutions to social problems that make sense and are sustainable.

    I would agree with this however, "when you can sit down in the wild and have a conversation in sign language" they shouldn't be a lab animal.

    We are talking a trained animal, does your dog still wish to run wild with other dogs? Does your cat wish to hunt in the wild? We aren't talking about something natural, while chimps do have the intelligence to learn sign language we aren't talking about something that is passed down from mother to offspring, it's something taught in a lab.

    I do see your point and it is valid. I also agree to some extent.

    If you had his money it'd probably be worth it to stick it to the neighbors and do low income housing.

  18. Amazes me on Breakthrough In Artificial Photosynthesis Captures CO2 In Acetate · · Score: 0

    How often CO2 is blamed on burning of fossil fuels, I often get gobsmacked by how many people forget plants breathe CO2 and release O2 yet no one ever correlates the increase to deforestation of rain forests. Possibly 1 is not enough to merit the change on it's own, but the two combined could account for the increase of CO2, not enough plants and trees in the rain forests to scrub the atmos of CO2 fast enough.

    I recall in the 70's and 80's it was ozone, at some point we shifted and now it's CO2.

    Your comment was rational and well thought out but missed the obvious so borders on foolish.

    Would have been much easier and less obvious for the pilot to drive 30lbs of C4 into position in a vehicle or a backpack or bag vs the stealthy manner of flying it in with something as unwieldy and less than threatening gyro-copter.

    To my knowledge gyros also don't have transponders and I'm not sure if they show up on radar.

    A decent attorney might argue that the client having disabled the camera and run over the child accidentally is no different from a driver doing the same but in a car not equipped with camera which would not have landed the client in trouble.

    Not sure if you'd win but it is a valid point, why prosecute one and not the other.

    I fully agree with you about the manual though, I love driving manual. I think it forces the driver to be more aware while driving and less chance of distraction. It's hard to change radio stations or fiddle with GPS when you have to shift gears.

    My insurance company should offer me a discount for driving a manual then as I could suggest it's an "anti-theft" feature.
