treason against the constitution, ethics, philosophy and taxpayers that employ is still treason, whether you like the definition or not...
Here is why: if someone causes me little pain it is called mistake, if someone causes lots of pain, then it is assault. this is not wisdom, this is fact, try it yourself on the streets:-)
Now, if a politician or governor causes small loss and makes small mistakes, it is abuse of power, regardless of background to his action... if you have the means, be informed. politicians have advisors of all kinds. If the loss is large, or touches negatively other peoples fates, it is treason against the above mentioned, especially in a democratic country.
Or, treason could be modified to fit my definition, without much lost...
Look what the swedish have done with Barsebeck, the nuclear pant... They bught with tax payer money, in times of no replacement, a fully functional and "relatively" safe plant, only to fill it up with concrete... Why the waste? 10 digit sums of taxpayer money went into the decommissioning of it...
There is a lot of other seriously bad decisions that I will not mention, where the price is a lot grater then many (most) good investments... As example http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hallandsås_Tunnel is one really pathetic one... yet again 10 digit sums...
If government develops things, then it is tax payer money.
If what was developed gets distroyed, or hidden for no apparent reason, other than lobby or corporate pressure than that is TREASON. TREASON is punishable by death...
Since one can not become politician on "competence" only, but on slimyness mostly, one has to accept he fact that the governors are not thinking like sane and technical minded people do... We have to accept this, and then find ways to live with it by regulating it:-) (i love that word)
To regulate this, I propose the introduction of death penalty for incompetence at political missions and corruption...
theory is what is needed, otherwise statistics does not mean much to anyone... With probability theory one models, while statistics is used to estimate the parameters of a model.

There is nothing unambiguously good about total and unrestrained freedom. There must bee rules: physical, ethical, political and economical. And these rules must bee followed.

If I am an artist and make a CD and price it 1000$ THEN I choose the group of people who can purchase this CD - The group of people who can shell out with 1000$.
This means that YOU others are NOT invited.
I DEMAND THE RIGHT TO CHOOSE MY AUDIENCE, AND LET IT BE THEM WHO PAY THE BUCK.
I think that Micro$oft and other related "restriction" - stuff are wonderful and glorious things.
WHY? Because I respect the rights of both Hollywood and the music industry to CHOOSE who will use their stuff. I also respect that they do not wish me to share with others.
I also respect and use my own rights to not purchase their shit, because I do not like it.
I think that we should be thinking more and more on the power consumption of things in general... On the environment, you know...
I wonder for how long "The_American_Way" will hold...
It would be interesting if some law turned up,(I am from Europe, Sweden), that would make some serious "restrictions" on the power/performance phenomenon...

that this is segregation. It means that your
chance to meet someone interesting is reduced.
The more people are invited to the party, the
greater chance you have to find
someone to have a relationship with.
That IS the point with a party, or what???
The rule of life: do not reject people for
stupid and pointless reasons.
Or live and die alone.
