  1. Re:Rep. Ben Dover (D/R - AT&T) on FISA Bill Vote Today, With Telco Immunity · · Score: 2, Insightful

    No sir! I want to go after those who committed the act. The request means nothing without the following action. Remember, words are NOT deeds. They are only words. The sinner is the actor. The leaders have no power without the followers. That would include everybody all the way up to Hitler. There...Godwinned.

  2. Re:Call Barack Obama on New FISA Bill Would Grant Telcoms Immunity; Vote Is Tomorrow · · Score: 1

    Both offer more of the same crap we've had since 88.

    More like the same old crap since 68. There is nothing really new going on here.

    And yet...All the "significant" candidates are still the same old crooked republicans and democrats with the same presidential cabinet members and bureaucrats over the last forty years. Nothing has changed. Well, ok. The decline has accelerated quite noticeably. Maybe we can blame the internet for that...

    If it doesn't return, can we taser the people who put idle on the front page? Or at least block it?

  6. I have a good compromise on Wiretapping Bill Passes Swedish Parliament, 143 to 138 · · Score: 1

    Let's just wiretap the people that voted for the law. And arrest those who voted against it. Because they're obviously criminals with something to hide.

    There is no federal law, secrete or not...

    Cool! I had no idea you're so high up in the food chain :-) There's no need to ban it, with it being so easy to monitor who's reading it. And a lot of that TSA stuff is very secret. I can hardly wait till wikileaks gets a copy of that manual.

  8. Re:Where's the outrage in the rest of the free wor on Wiretapping Law Sparks Rage In Sweden · · Score: 1

    Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see your comment as a troll. Don't know why it was modded as such.

    I suppose what I'm saying is that we can not depend on the government to protect our rights. See, I don't accept that it's up to society to "grant" rights. It's not for it decide where I can go, what I can say, or any other consensual act I commit. So, while I realize I live amongst a fairly civilized bunch, it's up to me to go the last mile and just do what I can to protect myself from the Fifty-One Percenters. On goes the arms race. They're perfectly welcome to toss their rights away. Leave mine alone....please...with sugar on top...

    So tell me, where are the statutes that say a state can't use a certain book or has to use a certain book for learning requirements in their public education system.

    Can't. It's a secret

    The majority of people saw the NSA wiretaps as the government doing something, that's why it didn't hurt Bush's reelection.

    More proof that majority rule can be a miserable failure... when the majority is un/misinformed and too comfortable to give a damn about anyone else and thus wrong. Those of us who care about our rights need to protect ourselves from them.

    Communication is overrated. It just leads to confusion and bad thoughts. It's something that's best left to professionals, with a license.

    But in this case, the crime will continue. The killing won't stop. And if Bush is a criminal, then so is the congress that authorized him and handed over the money. And so are the voters who failed to watch over their representatives. Let's just say he couldn't have pulled it off without our support. It was handed to him on a silver platter.
