Your view is really the same view as the Enlightenment. It's only been around hundreds of years and most of Western civilization was founded on it, but that doesn't stop conservatives from rejecting the Enlightenment and wishing for the golden age of artisans, serfs, nobles, etc.: (might be behind a pay wall)
Really? The free market didn't bust up the trusts at the beginning of the 1900s. It didn't break up the AT&T monopoly. It failed to break up the crock that is Microsoft. And now it is failing to prevent concentration of owners of national media given the latest shit storm from the FCC and Congress. Preventing the AT&T's current merger is no coup, it is merely because the Knob in the oval office doesn't like CNN because they aren't as sycophantic as Fox, so that is not for principled reasons but for one of the most base examples of political stupidity.
I don't know, can you be charged with bribery if you are too dim to realize the difference between bribery and proper business deals? Or if you cannot tell the difference between supporting the U.S. and a KGB thug?
All people are historically well-known for what is essentially child pornography and slavery and rape. Now what point were you trying to make again that doesn't implicate you via your ancestors?
Too late, he's already been bought. Wait and see which telecom he is hired by after he leaves office...services rendered ought to get him a very nice salary and perks.
I don't think the two party system has become untenable. Rather, I think the two parties have become untenable. The D's are being overtaking by the left, the R's are being overtaken by the right. Both want the ability to act like authoritarian pricks over the rest of us.
Why? What's wrong with net neutrality? 400 pages of regulations wouldn't have been necessary if companies weren't run by lawyers using any trick they can to game the system.
Hmmm....so more guns means more death. Oooooo....the libretards will take away your magic dog whistle for that one, I'm surprised you haven't been yet modded down.
Yeah, let's take valuable company data and analysis and splatter it all over the organization in incompatible Excel crap. What well-positioned company wouldn't want to do this?
The Orange Fuhrer has no opinions in the sense of most of the rest of us, he doesn't do policy. He only repeats what Fox News tells him is "twooo".
One thing to remember about that Knob, he's got no strategy for anything. It is simply gut reactions to everything. He's easily manipulated and only repeats whatever he heard last. He's completely incapable of fitting the pieces of his alleged Administration into any cohesive plan for governance. You can see this when he uses to the Press to communicate with the heads of the executive branch agencies.
You can also see his incompetence in the people he puts in charge of those agencies and in other positions. He'll take someone with no expertise in an area and make them head of the executive fiefdom for that area. The only reason the U.S. hasn't folded up on itself is inertia. And it will continue that way until that Knob leaves office. The problems he's set in motion will come back to bite us, especially the tax giveaway currently giving the R's wet dreams. When the budget gets sucked up by interest payments, then people will realize what damage he really did, but it will be too late. And Grandma will be coming to live with you because the government can no longer afford her. Better start saving.
Bullshit. You recall the FDA, not in the Constitution. Yet they prevent Joe's Bait and Pill Emporium from poisoning your mother with fake headache pills, or you with fake erectile dysfunction "medicine". The NiH does research into diseases with your name on them, not in the Constitution. The FAA prevents airlines from using accounting methods to find the correct price point between crashes and loyal ridership. They also have vehicle emissions standards so we don't revert to LA circa 1960's air, much as the alleged Administration looks back in fondness at those times. Rules and laws against workplace discrimination, again the alleged Administration looks back fondly at the 1950s, which is strange because most minorities do not have such fond memories. Neither do women.
Ajit Pai has no ideology. His mind was made up that if he did this, he could leave government and work at some telecom for a salary the rest of us can only dream about. He's merely an industry tool.
In your opinion, what's the basic kill rate for someone with an automatic weapon before an Official NRA Gun Nut manages to pull out his pea-shooter and kill him back, miraculously missing all the other people in the vicinity? I figure the perp can probably get 5 people before justice is served by said gun nut.
BS. Read the research on mass killers, over 50% are considered normal. The fellow that offed all those in Las Vegas was yer basic NRA Official Gun Nut and perfectly within the bounds of well-respected Conservative behavior.
Hah, the NRA will simply claim it is part of their second amendment rights to weaponize drones. There's no limbo bar low enough for them. Their goal is to keep bodies from shooting in the low single digits before one of their members pulls out.44 magnum and shoots the perp while miraculously missing every one else; he'll also do it before getting his own ass shot off by the perp or the cops when they see the blood and the righteous NRA member standing there with that hand cannon.
It only needs to carry a very small amount of a nerve agent. I don't know microbots are viable, but they needn't carry an explosive charge to be lethal.

Really? Hitler whacked millions. Okay youse guys, how many have you whacked so we can run the numbers and get this Hitler accusation decided.
Shit happens.
