Yeah but...that's like for forever, for the rest of the century or something. It totally ignores the fact that the gov't will have more income as well.
It's as if everyone in the country demanded all their Social Security checks all at once, even at age 20. Certainly that's nonsense?
Looks to me like an author making a sensational claim to sell books.
I'm just saying he is innocent until proven guilty, and no one should be in jail so long before that. I'm not even saying there is an easy solution to that problem--there probably isn't. But you simply seemed to be defending it as just grand.
No, I don't need irrefutable evidence...any evidence at all would do.
You are surprised that one man trying to convince people of things hasn't changed the world in a short amount of time.
I never said it would be easy. But if you study the history or violnet revolution, I believe you will find that 9 times out of 10 the cure is much, much worse than the disease. See: Iran, Cuba, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Congo, etc. etc. etc.
One reason many of the founders did NOT want a Bill of Rights was because they wanted to be sure that the people's rights were NOT enumerated.
What the Bill of Rights is is an enumeration of what the government can definitely NOT do. Just because something isn't listed there, doesn't mean the government can go crazy and do whatever they want.
Please stop spreading this common false understanding--it's very destructive.
They bought Saitek, which made really good mice and keyboards. But they don't seem to have let the Saitek expertise leak out into the rest of the company.

dude, who needs to be "given powers" to do things like seize domain names...when they're already doing it.
Duh. We need new laws to *stop* that kind of thing.
Issa is a shill, don't be fooled.

Our government is not involved--just some Republicans in the House.
You really think the Earth is that simple?

I looked at your link. I see no evidence for this claim of $200 trillion. Do you have it?
Are you insane? You really think that is reasonable?
Would you still have a job if that happened to you, and you were innocent? How about a family?
God.
Where is your evidence that only a violent and bloody revolution can reverse this trend?
Have you tried, I don't know, convincing lots of people to your point of view?
Progressives don't say that. Some Liberals do.
What are they going to do if you all just stop wearing them? Put everyone in detention all the time?
I think it's a fair point to make that you are human beings, and not animals.
just mho.
No. Wrong. Bad.

I'm not really seeing that any more, friend.
It's incredibly sad, but I am rapidly losing trust in my country to protect the internet that it created.
You do realize what you advocate is impossible, don't you? We're talking about a *billion* people here.
:-)
Even if it was a good idea to slaughter them, you just can't do it.
So I suggest you don't try
Oh don't be a fool.

I don't ever remember that outrage.
/. was not.
Apple was outraged.
Scum? For wanting to buy an assload of hard drives? Really? Don't you think that's a bit strong?
We've allowed last-mile internet to devolve into monopolies and duopolies. Same for cell carriers.
Would else could you expect?
Sad...the internet is American, dammit, and we have the worst internet in the first world!
mod parent the fuck up.
You say all that as though you're presenting an overwhelming argument for how awesome Ron Paul is.
Frankly, most of his ideas about economics are incredibly naive, and would be destructive as hell.
Slightly off topic...
If anybody had the balls to enable unlimited wireless mp3 sharing between devices, they could own the market.
Mod parent up.
I don't understand all these geeks arguing with facts.
Bitcoin is there. Still.
That does not make any sense whatsoever.
I do not think that word "buggy" means what you think it means.
Design flaws are bugs!
