People need to be aware that the servers involved in the optical scan ballots can be hacked as well, and I do believe Diebold makes those voting systems too.
The U.S. runs various proxy servers that can allow citizens in other countries like Iran and North Korea to bypass their governments' internet blocks and access free information. Unfortunately, the U.S. plays politics with even this and these proxies aren't open to Saudi Arabia and China's citizens, and probably others for the sake of "international relations".
No. He merely disagrees with your opinion. Yes yes, on the internet, difference of opinion is usually labeled "ignorance", but don't be predictable or anything....
Not only is it naive to believe that government regulation will save us, it's also naive to believe that no government regulation will create the best "free market" on the face of the earth. A balance has to be struck. As it has been shown in the last several years, many of the largest corporations in the U.S. can't be trusted to "do the right thing".
Deregulation is usually pro-little-guy because it ususally enhances competition.
No. Deregulation is usually dressed up as "pro-little-guy", but is usually done for the industry players' benifit only. The consumer is a secondary thought when it comes to deregulation.
MAPS was not bought by another company. The owners of MAPS made a new company to take ownership of MAPS for tax and "hey! buy us!" purposes. It's still run by the same ass that's let Margie Arbon and Susan Tait almost run the place into the ground before he pulled his head out of his ass and got rid of them, but the damage was already done. These days, MAPS is irrelevant to the whole anti-spam effort.

I can't say I know many people with $25,000 in cash reserves to cover the cost of taxes on a trip to space prize. Can you?
The companies offering the prizes should be paying the taxes. 'Nuff said.

Were you expecting something else from the Cato Institute? I wouldn't.

So refute it instead of being snarky.
The FAA does little regarding prices or general customer service though. Imagine how things would be if there wasn't regulation on safety and repair.
