I am sure majority of American voters (of the time) would have opposed civil rights law or abolishing slavery or vote/equality for women. That is why referendum on every major decision is a bad idea. You vote for what you think is the best leaders and let them make decision popular or unpopular and kick them out if you want later...i think that is better than making decision by popular acceptance which would mean daily electioneering already its terrible every 2 years.
Run for power if you think you'd do a better job than is being done. But the question is: ow come every libertarian or small govt person that gets into power morphs into yet another protect wall street person ? Is Wall St the center of liberterianism ?
I believe the usage is way higher in developing countries. Some universities in Brazil for example has been using openoffice in all administrative offices for 8 years or so.
There are more computer users outside developed nations now than in it.
Uruguay was the first country to have reached, in 2009, full coverage of their primary students (and their teachers) population by the OLPC's (One Laptop Per Child) XO through the Plan Ceibal.
Its a fair balance that is needed. Pure excellence in examinable academics goes that far. Guess why India does not have a huge fraction of inventors...its middle class is as big if not bigger as the whole of US...so economyand daily comfort is not the issue. Thinking outside the box or traditional way is an issue. Knowledge of spelling is good but thinking of how to make that home made rocket go higher in your back yard with your friends is good too !
Ah...in the respect culture argument you don't mention that historically...things, that are considered "good", had to be imposed.
It was in the culture of whites farmers to consider blacks as chattel but it was a few intellectual/political who deemed that not right and it was imposed after a struggle
Similar with cannibalism, or wife burning etc...
I argue we are in an age that intellectual/politico arguments say that an individual has the right to expression and information...and that is what is getting imposed on humanity as "good" for this day and age. Just like we (intello/politico cabal) believe that it is wrong to allow rape of 12 year olds. So respect my culture...is not an argument...we move by imposing what the intellectual cabal think is good. And freedom of information and speech is considered good by the intello cabal who influence the running of the world.
A rock in the shape of a sphere or a cube or a tetrahedron...now that will be odd to have such a non odd shaped rock on Mars. Hence a non odd shaped rock is odd and an odd shaped rock is non odd. Go figure what was meant then
so you mean the people who are buying a Nike shoes but don't own a PC do not contribute to the advert tax...that nike uses to pay google. These guys at Nike are good !
That the government people are bad is not my point...my point is if you have ideal taxation to finance google or ideal ads to finance google its cheaper to the buyer to go to the ideal tax system.
If you are discussing bad bureaucrats...then i am sure there are bad bankers i can point to...oh may be not you are right bankers are always right and we give them our money to keep because they are saints. Madoff is an ideal capitalist.
Money is an artificial construct but resources
are not...And real resources were used that took work (in the physics sense) to create
The chemicals put into that person came from somewhere and the doctors were paid and had food and drive their cars. So somebody or everybody else in the system contributed to it.
Just because money can come out of thin air...everything else does not...creating money is not sustainable...reality catches back.
This "i don't want to be forced" is a virtual problem...you/we are FORCED already.
People paid for your treatment that you defaulted, one way or the other (its not that the doctor went hungry or the hospital also went bankrupt) its paid by contingency funds that we people who contribute into...one way or another...the physicists amongst us will agree you donot invent things out of nothing...conservation laws work.
Its like people say google is free....no its not..its financed by ads which is paid by us because we buy stuff at higher prices for companies to pay for ads...now if we had a tax to finance google and no ads people will shout "OMG its a tax...i want free market and free stuff"...yet it will cheaper than the indirect tax we pay already...because in the process of making ads we finance ad agencies and all kind of intermediates and intermediaries to finance google search engines....
It is not okay to block a freedom just because it makes economic sense.
so be it if no museum is going to be willing to pay for digitization because they can't recoup their cost or
make profit out of it. They should revisit their goal of being a museum. Not block people freedom
of sharing something that is free, If they can't do it...i'm sure somebody else will be willing to
do it and even ind a way to make profits without blocking the freedom of sharing something that is free,
Oil, gas, coal makes beautiful landscape more beautiful ?
Otherwise why most people have no issues binging on these and
yet the mention of wind or solar they talk aesthetics and birds and bees.
Oil and coal formed as there were not enough species of bacteria to cause decay before they got fossilized
Arguably this will not happen anymore as most organic (and even some non organic) have bacteria which will cause them
to decay in very short period of time into CO2, methane etc etc...
No it was an anti death penalty politics....I'm sure the taleban would have sentenced him to death in public if he was a cause celebre
Pro-life and anti death penalty == matter v/s anti matter in some world !
Kaboom and its clean !
This is what threw me into Linux...remember how windows 3.1 would freeze and have to reboot etc etc..
Then when you tell them of the bugs they tell you oh its fixed in the next version which you have to buy
again....so why did i bay for the buggy stuff then ? So i just jumped in linux...was buggy...was hard to get X11 going (this in 94 'm talking about)...but once it got going i did not
have to reboot for months.
Why struggle and spend your time with something you pay hard earned cash when you when you can
lose less time and work on something that is free and open....after all its just the OS....Most of the other stuff either you buy (matlab etc) or you have open version for or you run wine on it.
The world is always in a crisis...you do realize that most of the world is in poverty....so did that stop us from doing science, plays, movies, theaters, art, sports
So why stop now...because a few people made stupid investments in companies run by more stupid people ?
Not true...

There is a big problem with this....you donot get a section of the populace that knows about technology to take them out of poverty....
You need to get them to know about networking, technology etc so that they can devise stuff that fits their environment...you guys in the west have no interest in low power communication to villages etc...why would you innovate in that domain.
they will if they have the knowledge and capabilities and know what wifi or radio communication is...
Allowing for just food always create a population still living in the 1700...

Why not one for Linux or Mac too....Why compete on your turf only ?
Every child in Uruguay has one

Thus Uruguay has 3 children only !

Your argument is the same as the Pitcairn island rapists. ...as one of their defense.
They claimed it was in their culture to rape 12 year old girls
So should you respect that and let that happen ?
