the rest of the world gives a single solitary fuck what the US consumption of anything is in the the first place, you pointless individual?
Also, if you're a US citizen and you're reading this, you should be fucking ashamed of yourself...oh, wait, you're no more in control of your politcal system than I am of mine here in the UK, you bastion of democracy, you.
Forget I said anything...or they'll be coming for you next.
Dude - the time and effort you put into your post makes me think you're a google shill. Either way, you're selling something and I saw you coming a mile away. *shrug*
I genuinely admire your standpoint - I agree with it.
The simple fact is, it won't change for the better because the US political system is a plutocracy, not a democracy [like all the other bullshit 'democracies' worldwide].
You won't change it, I won't change it - FFS, 99% of the people saying 'no' won't change it [even if 'the people' had a voice in the first place, which they don't and won't] because it's all about MONEY and POWER.
Privacy is a non-issue - it died in the western world many, many years ago. Open your eyes - it's not going to get any better without serious public dissent.

DRM threatens our children in the same way nuclear threatened us - we all die, so take the piss as much as you can - like nuclear, DRM kills us all as human beings.

This will (eventually) produce a change only if citizens want their rights back and elect folks who campaign (however cynically) on that matter.
I don't mean to be rude to you or anyone else, but the majority of people I know [Joe Sixpack, to use the US vernacular] haven't a clue what their rights are now. Hell, I'm not sure half the time and I spend a lot of time reading up.
Surely it's very hard to claim something back when you don't even know you've lost it in the first place, or even ever had it?
As to the voting system solving any problems - dude, wake up....
Dude - worms in Australia are 15 feet long, with massive, sharp, pointy teeth, dripping venom. No-one in Australia has lived long enough to see what happes when you cut one in half:)

Is a contradiction in terms.
Any group using force to project its terms is a terrorist group.
Suicide bombers and guided munitions equate to the same thing.

Admit it, you made that word up.
And you're just a gnat's chuff away from 'technotronic', too.

"...identify the type of animal based on the smell of the building they're housed in."
I don't know why, but that sentence made me want to drink more.
Glass shape has nothing to do with it.

it was found that cold reality also makes people drink too much. Various groups continue to lobby for warmer reality.

No-one's been moded up for mentioning how they've been touched by 'his noodly appendage'.
Got them working just sweet, many years ago. Upgraded. All gone. Never been the same since.
Recently tempted by BSD^H^H^H^Mac. Too much of a die hard though.
Got newbies using KDE. Recently tempted by KDE.
Choice is everything. Choice is nothing.
Possibly there's a couple of sysadmin rules in the above too.
Everyone's got a price.
...it's a Microsoft operating system. It doesn't matter.
Oh, hang on, I'm drunk and you didn't mention Microsoft.
In that case, plug it in, dude. It's an operating system. It doesn't matter.
HTH

And therefore you know everyone's mean metrics and can say things that will give you a +integer == moderation everytime?
