  1. Re:Lots of this going around on Report Warns Against Well-Meaning Net Censorship · · Score: 1

    The context of the quote you provide by JFK was in reference to the Alliance for Progress -- an organization established by JFK to battle against Soviet-satellite Cuban-sponsored communism in the Western hemisphere. The method used by the the Alliance for Progress to combat the spread of communism during the early 1960's was economic development. JFK understood better than most that political rights like democratic votes are established when economic rights are enforced; and economic rights like property rights are enforced when people are prosperous. Pretty much exactly the opposite of communist theory. Applied to your case, the context of the quote means that if you don't like being removed by your blogging service, show some of the political rights you espouse through enforcement of your economic rights by placing your blog on a server that you control exclusively. Avoid justifying the call to violence because you can't get heard. You can say anything you want; but no-one out there is forced to listen.

  3. The 30% Solution on $25M Bounty Offered for Global Warming Fix · · Score: 1

    Simple: Since the global warming ideologues believe human activity is the source of global warming; the right answer is to remove human activity from the planet will remove the source of global warming. (Almost all of the methods described above are to mitigate human activity by destroying economies, anyway.) Therefore: My solution is to immediately kill off 30% of the population of humans -- about 2 billion people -- and another 3% of the remaining population every year thereafter. Though, since I am skeptical of the "humans cause global warming" theory, I propose that only those altruistic souls that want to save the planet are killed first. I, and the rest of the skeptics, will be driving my SUV around much less congested freeways with $0.10/litre fuel. Where do I get my cheque?
