Consider the economic impact (employment, housing, financial) of 9/11. Compare that to the economic impact of the 2008 financial crisis. Our response to 9/11 was labeling whole populations as terrorists, 13 years of foreign war and more restrictions on civilians. Our response to the financial crisis was to rape the taxpayer and begin repealing financial legislation 5 years later so banks can go back to high-stakes gambling.
I say "our" because the buck stops with the voter. Want to see real change, get involved locally and start refusing federal money.
"I can imagine the high-ranking NSA official who instituted the "record all encrypted data we find" policy, on the basis that only people with something to hide would bother"
There are so many legitimate relationships that rely on this. How can the catchall approach not violate HIPAA, doctor-client, lawyer-client, and other such legally protected relationships/mandates? How do you claim compliance? Seems like an easy out for security officers: "We don't patch our systems for things like POODLE in order to help the NSA/CIA identify terrorists."
"But I believe the documentation and the findings and conclusions will make clear how this program was morally, legally and administratively misguided, and that this nation should never again engage in these tactics" - Sen. Feinstein
Does morally misguided mean it's still moral? Does legally misguided mean it's still legal?
From top to bottom, if "I believed torture/preemptive strikes/FISA/giving banks a blank check/shooting to kill was the right thing to do.", regardless of how many people die or are violated or how much tax money it costs, then you were merely misguided?
"And, really, theyâ(TM)re not making enough money for me to regain my losses."
What kind of losses is he talking about? Given the conclusion of the story, Tom's apology has the same monetary value as Wil's losses.
Bush had to appear on national TV in June/July of 2003 to explain to the nation that we did not invade Iraq because of 9/11. Why? Because polls showed that almost 70% of the US population believed that to be the reason.
Works really well for those living overseas. I live in Brazil and get sports for myself and SStreet for the kids. And the service even moves the compressed video files to servers in Brazil to make downloading +600MB files less painful. The trick is getting an account.
If you got a broad selection to sample, you'll more likely find something YOU like.
So that's why it's so hard to choose a presidential candidate! Of course, the lack of choice is really due to "market forces" on the demand-side. We really only need 2 colas, one type of automobile fuel, and one OS right?

People ask Christians the wrong questions. Rephrase as:
"If so, will you treat other practitioners of sexual sin (i.e. fornicators and adulterers) the same way?"
