You bring up an interesting point. I would disagree that government is good at much. What is the cost of the interstate system? That said I do think that they are the most qualified for the job and I would consider that part of the interstate commerce clause of government. My personal opinion is that these roads should be paid for completely out of a gasoline tax and vehicle registration fees.
And I was not referring to any infrastructure but the cost of service. Unfortunately broadband is becoming a 'need' much like cable television. In the broken system, the governments, they take from the rich and offer 'free' money to those in 'need'. The correct system, done by the LDS church, is run completely by donations and helps people get back to work. Needs and resources are evaluated and you are to see what you can do to improve your situation. If your needs are greater than your resources then you are to look to your family. If the problem still exists then the church will help.
A great example is the tsunami. The UN built refugee camps while the LDS church helped repair boats, fishing nets, looms, etc. to get the people back to work.
Why don't we create a mob to go and rob rich people to make sure the poor have broadband? Never mind we already have government to do that. But seriously I would hate to have our broadband run as poorly as Canadian health care.
I would. If I would have come across this problem I would have immediately let Amazon know. Some people still have integrity. They do things not because of profit or fame but because they are right. But by looking at most of the posts on Slashdot I can see that most of these people don't.
I completely agree. People feel that they are entitled to work. Through all the socialism Americans are quickly losing their edge. Americans are getting fat and lazy. It is interesting that the countries that are taking over are usually the poorer ones like China and India.
I sure hope more states revolt against this. We are surrendering our privacy for 'security'. Of course one must realize how few terrorist attacks the USSR and Nazi Germany had that weren't staged.
I find it very interesting how the government convinced millions of very independent Americans to be tracked in the first place. Social Security, aka 'free' money.
I agree that the government doesn't want to get in trouble but I think that they also do not want it banned for the future. This is the old two steps forward and when the people protest you take one step back. I heard Senator Hatch say that the Patriot Act is a good thing as we have had no terrorist attack in the US since. How many terrorist attacks did the USSR and Nazi Germany have that weren't staged?
Here is an argument I put on a site called www.utahdebate.org. I would be interested in hearing your response.
I must start my introduction by saying I am not against legal immigration. I, myself, am an immigrant to this country. I went through the proper channels and received my citizenship. I spent two years in the Philippines amongst the poor and understand why people want to come to this country. The need to do so legally. Legal immigrants are much more desirable than illegal immigrants and here are some reasons why.
1. Legal immigrants have health checks. People crossing the border illegally bypass these checks and are much more likely to bring contagious deadly diseases to the United States.
2. Illegal immigrants are breaking the law. By coming into this county illegally they have already shown a disregard for the law. Is this a way to attract law-abiding citizens?
3. Many illegals have criminal records. Sexual predators, child molesters, and murders cross the border illegally. The immigration process helps keep these people out if followed.
4. Illegals are exploited. What is an illegal going to do if somebody cheats him? Can he go to the police?
5. Most illegals do not pay income taxes. Even if they want to, many are afraid that they will be found. As they are often paid 'under the table' they benefit the big businesses who can avoid paying taxes on them also.
6. They take away jobs from either citizens or legal immigrants. If their are more jobs to fill then more legal immigrants should be let in. If their aren't enough jobs then they are often taking jobs away from others. When immigrants skip the line and come here illegally then they push everybody else back.
7. The conditions that the illegals cross the border are dangerous and many do not make it.
Government has the right and duty to protect the borders. I have a right to protect my property from invasion therefore I can give that right to my government. In the Constitution the congress is given the power to "establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization" and "repel Invasions". We must hold are government accountable for their lack of action.
What can the government do with all of the infrastructure in place? Hitler didn't rise to power in a day. With the infrastructure in place it becomes much easier. Don't look at this as an isolated incident but in the context of all the other events going on in the nation. We are quickly moving to communism.
It is interesting to note that the founding fathers met in closed doors. It was forbidden to say what was going on until it was over. That way people weren't 'acting for the camera'.

Are we partly to blame? Sure. Should we pay a global tax? That sounds too much like the Emperor's new clothes to me.
Very well said. It is too bad that these other people break the law and then see themselves as the victim.
If everybody else is doing it than it must be safe and we should jump off of the bridge to. Didn't most of us outgrow this?

Would you rather hire a network admin that would take advantage of the company's mistake or one who wouldn't?
I would. If I would have come across this problem I would have immediately let Amazon know. Some people still have integrity. They do things not because of profit or fame but because they are right. But by looking at most of the posts on Slashdot I can see that most of these people don't.
The LADA program has grown many things including cabbage, peas, radishes, etc. http://www.sdl.usu.edu/programs/lada/

I actually have almost 25 years computer experience. I was merely making fun of loaded questions.
I remember the Daily Show did a really funny show on loaded questions.
It is the RFID part that bothers me the most. Ever read 1984?

See what happens when you finally get rid of Jeb Bush.

No bias in this headline.
I wonder if this is a move to cater more towards home schoolers.
Sometimes I look at how things like this work and I am just amazed and somewhat grateful to be living in an age with such incredible technology.
Sounds like it would make a great superhero headquarters.

Despite the fact that it is an unpopular word and will probably make me sound like a nut I say Conspiracy.

Is this where they get green ham from?
Sorry, I'm talking about the Constitutional Convention. This was after the war.
