    These guys are more like oil spills(a way of taking your property by destroying it) than eminent domain. And when the government takes your property, who do they hand it over to?

  3. Criminal activity == free market values on Researchers Ponder Conficker's April Fool's Activation Date · · Score: 2, Insightful

    There's no other way to explain the enormous profits. People ask me, *Why do people write these viruses?* It's because the market demands it.

    They're the hired hands. The "mules" if you will. Look at what created the atmosphere. This is the free market in all its glory. With no silly government encumbrances.

    It really illustrates the tone set by your money for nothing market economy, now that the Reagan generation has grown up. This is your future.

    Lots of sulfur stuff coming out of those holes. Open up a bunch of them and you might have a problem. Besides the earth will collapse if you let all the air out. It will shrivel up like a rotten orange.

  9. Re:and who's going to CARE? on Diebold Admits Flaw In Voting Software · · Score: 2, Interesting

    No it isn't, believe me. This is bullshit. We walked into this on our own, staring right at it, refusing to see because it might jeopardize their favorite lizard's chances. Now, after doing nothing about it, the "victims" want revenge. Diebold, or whatever they call themselves, should lose their corporate charter, and the offenders fined from their personal accounts, and possibly future profits garnished also. Sweet and simple

    Corporate lobbyists are invited because the whole damn thing was created by them for their own benefit. There would be no treaty to begin with otherwise. It would be nice to get the public to demand that these things be opened up, but they're too distracted by the economy right now. Neat trick, huh?

  19. Re:"Clean" coal on How the Economy Is Changing Clean Energy · · Score: 1

    Global warming is not my issue. It's about simple respect for your neighbor. To mangle another phrase: One man's sewer is another man's well. I'm suppose you're right that it can be made clean enough. But it won't be, unless the entire process and all associated processes are 100% mechanized. All human effort must be removed, or it's just not worth the time considering perfectly viable and cleaner and simpler tech is available. We use coal because it's relatively cheap and very profitable. No other factors are applicable. It's really too bad that so many people are convinced that it's irreplaceable. The people who tell us that are the same kind of people that told us the economy is sound, BUY! BUY! BUY! I believe today's lesson after the last year, should be, "Don't leave your energy future in the hands of the economists". I would think that you would have learned that after seeing what they did to your retirement.
