Can someone explain how this differs from Erlang? It is briefly mentioned on the Go site:
"One of the most successful models for providing high-level linguistic support for concurrency comes from Hoare's Communicating Sequential Processes, or CSP. Occam and Erlang are two well known languages that stem from CSP. Go's concurrency primitives derive from a different part of the family tree whose main contribution is the powerful notion of channels as first class objects."
I am not sure if this is an option for you, but the bike commute can be a great way to exercise, with zero additional demand on time.
I recently replaced my car commute with a bike & bus combo. I work in Bellevue and live in Seattle and the buses have bike racks. I bike the Seattle section to lake Washington, take the bus across the bridge and then bike to work. It takes about 45 minutes including waiting for the bus door to door. The car typically took 45 also because of long wait times for the bridge. The buses alone were worse: about an hour.
If the 1.5 hour commute can't totally translate to the bike, it may well partially translate like mine: bike and bus, or start in the car and ride once you are closer.
It might have military uses, such as delivering equipment and supplies to sites that might not be easily reachable. Martin said he and Rist have had meetings with Pentagon officials.
...there's just enough information to make me think something else is going on here, but not enough to know what.
Based on her website, I think we might be able to take educated guesses at two of the mysteries:
1) What else is going on:
From her site: "Right now the Vista Hills land is up for rezoning. Ironically, this subdivision is already featured in an area phone book and it was on a free commercial map that was distributed to area homes. Even real estate guides have featured the completed Vista Hills subdivision on their maps for four years. The truth is the land is still agricultural. If the rezoning to residential takes place before the moraine is protected this subdivision will be built.
I ask both the Ministry of the Environment and the Ministry of Labour to please step in and see what you can do in regards to protecting our groundwater from Activa. We know their history. The citizens of Waterloo Region simply cannot afford the risk. "
Public perception does not equate to much bottom line for a contractor; government rezoning does. It sounds like she was starting to have some success with the various ministries.
2) What their case is based on:
From her site: " Allow me to clairify once again, this website is designed to facilitate the reporting of labour and environmental law infringements to municipal, provincial and federal officials and to try to educate the public on the subject of safety so they can also make their own reports if necessary. In order to place the reports and to illustrate the existing situations I have to mention where I saw the infringements and what companies are involved. It's that simple."
Reporting on what she has seen is one thing. Charging specific companies with breaking the law is another. If the site simply reported oil spills and unsafe workers it would be one thing. Publishing beliefs about the legalities of the contractor's actions puts on record very specific and disprovable claims.
Regardless she is obviously well intentioned. I hope she gets some help in this.
It can't be that there are people who care but realize socialist ideas don't work

Do socialist countries have more social mobility than capitalist ones? Actually with free education, health care and a high minimum wage, it is not all that surprising...
Note the original article came from that old socialist rag, The Wall Street Journal.
Legitimacy is granted through the social contract.
This is an enlightenment ideal, but many modern social anthropologists recognize states for what they are: power structures to differentiate class and power. While most modern states have done away with explicit slavery, they are still all about harnessing the work of the many to the benefit of the few. Your model for popular consent might be a decent indicator of how just a state is perceived by those it rules over, but no state has ever been conceived by referendum. All states start through the motives a few powerful men, and are only after justified as being the will of the people.

Yes, that ancient hunting tradition of firing bomb lances from a heavy shoulder gun...
I hear your point, but this hunt doesn't sound very traditional.
