    It is kind of neat to look at the logs, but it's amazing to me that my phone is writing logs every 5-10 minutes. It takes me 2 minutes to scroll to the bottom of the LIST of logs, which are only about two weeks of data.

    I still fundamentally disagree with you. They have to do much more than just use it to sell their own pharmaceuticals. They have to try to appear to BE like Merck. I don't believe having a link/page would do enough to cause trademark infringement.

    Sanofi can do what ever they want with facebook.com/Merck, as long as it doesn't look like they're selling Merck products, or endorsed by Merck.

    So, you're saying that Facebook doesn't have the exclusive rights to do whatever they want under the facebook.com domain? Because I really don't buy that.

    If Sanofi wanted Facebook.com/Merck and had a page that said Merck kills babies (with sources), I'm pretty sure that Facebook could allow that, legally. It's their domain, legally. And no one has any rights, legal or otherwise, to facebook.com/*anyname* except Facebook.

    If we cut military and social services spending by 50%, there would be no deficit. Probably no lobbyist either though.

  17. Re:Republicans and Taxes on Debt Reduction Super Committee Fails To Agree · · Score: 1

    I'm simply arguing that in order for any meaningful management of the debt, both HAVE to be done.

    As I posted above:
      In order to get rid of (or at least significantly lower) the debt, spending needs to be cut by a lot, and revenue needs to be raised by a lot. If you decrease spending by $1T/year, and increase taxes by $1T/ year, it will still take 7 years before we start saving ANYthing for a rainy day.

    Neither raising taxes by $1T/yr nor lowering spending by $1T/yr are doable by our current government.

  18. Re:Republicans and Taxes on Debt Reduction Super Committee Fails To Agree · · Score: 1

    First, that would require a cut in total spending of greater than 28%.
    Second, if you only *just* cut it to under $2.5T, you'll take forever to get rid of the debt.

    So, no it couldn't actually be done that way. In order to get rid of (or at least significantly lower) the debt, spending needs to be cut by a lot, and revenue needs to be raised by a lot. If you decrease spending by $1T/year, and increase taxes by $1T/ year, it will still take 7 years before we start saving ANYthing for a rainy day.

    Congressmen don't run states. So that's a completely useless argument, that you obviously spend a bit of time on.

  20. Re:Republicans and Taxes on Debt Reduction Super Committee Fails To Agree · · Score: 1

    10% ain't going to cut it.

    The government has debt equivalent to 6 years worth of income. Debt is $14T, annual tax revenues are ~$2.5T. Annual spending is ~$3.5T.
    Which means you HAVE to raise taxes in order to lower the debt, along with lower spending. You can't 'spend less' your way out of 6 years worth of debt, or even 1 year.

    That's a LOT of pain in order to lower the debt. And no politician can live with that much pain.
