The corporations give the politicians way more money and influence than the voting public. The politicians don't work. Of course they are puppets they're on the payroll. The conservative-liberal conflict is just theatre for the most part. At the end of the day they go to the same party and eat caviar you can't afford bought with your money.
I'm guilty as hell here. The fact is that I do backup certain installs on the network. My reasons for doing this are: 1) I work with idiots and they lose stuff all the time. The original disks for half the software in the company are probably under someone's coffee mug somewhere. 2) I work with thieves. People "borrow" my disks all the time. I've fixed this by writing "virus infected", "Damaged", "old version do not use" or "Corrupt" on most of my important stuff. 3) The archiving / version control system we bought is too expensive so we aren't allowed to put most things we need to preserve 4) Our archivist doesn't really do anything or know how and until her ass starts to sag she won't get fired. 5) Using drive shares and active directory for file storage is inefficient and results in a lot of duplication of files due to the lack of maintainable granular security control. Even Sharepoint would be a better idea. 6) If I save them money they never share any of it with me so what the hell do I care if they make any profit? I actually get a big smile on my face every time I see massive waste because these are not good people and bad people deserve to have bad things happen to them. If I were to try and fix it I would get all the blame if it went bad and none of the credit if it went well.
The music and stories of the culture are the property of the culture. They are part and parcel of that culture.
The copyright law was to make sure artists got paid. Greedy middle men who have stolen from us and the artists at every opportunity have no rightful claim to anything.
1) You have the right to free speech
2) Rule 1) does not apply if the venue is owned by the corporate masters
3) The corporate masters get to own everything with no associated responsibility
4) The government can call you a terrorist and then you don't even get any fake rights
Maybe the government could set up a single line BBS in Utah as an online free speech zone.
China has a long record of purging intellectuals and counter revolutionaries. They've reduced that tendency though eugenics. The idea that the Chinese are going to stand up in droves just because horrific injustices are heaped upon them is laughable. The US is starting to train it's people to the same sheepish standards. Grass roots resistance is dead but the media war can be won. Read some McLuhan if you want some effective weapons against this. http://cultofjim.com/scripture/understanding_media/
We've spent a lot of money training kids to live in little police states we call schools where unelected officials impose bad rules. Through zero tolerance we teach them it's a crime to stand up for yourself and that they have no privacy. Justice is swift and stupid. At least the schools have been able to teach this since teaching reading, math and life skills was a complete bust. China is the model..we'll all be living like that soon..the kids are already used to living like that.
With IE I can manage security policies through Active Directory. Since this is how my organization manages these things I'm kind of stuck. Since IE is very proprietary but still a defacto standard I'm stuck supporting it because some online apps require it. So selling taking on support costs for redundant browsers for a reason as fluffy bunny as "The users want it" is a non-starter. I can sell an IE "Patch" to a Pointy Haired Boss easier than an unmanaged 3rd party redundant app.
Actually he is the willing idiot patsy of the epitome of evil. The terrorist word is just a fad. People used to call people lots of names and lock them up or murder them for their own convenience such as: a witch, a heretic, insane, a druggie, a communist, and now a terrorist. According to your news an old man who shoots at a foreign invader in his own home is an "insurgent" or a terrorist. In the real world if you're invading their home with heavy weaponry then you are the terrorist. The fact is if Bush and all his friends and family dropped dead tomorrow the world would be a better place. Even his wife is a known murderer.
I've seen people do far more harm to themselves with a World of Warcraft addiction than a pot addiction. Just because some losers may not be able to handle something doesn't mean the people who aren't losers should be denied the use of it.
That kind of thinking is a race to the bottom because there are always idiots who can't handle any given freedom.
A government is just an entrenched parasitic organized crime syndicate.
They make their money off extortion (aka taxes)and return as little value as possible.
Police are just thugs with pensions. Most mean well when they join but very few are able to come to terms with the fact that they are working for the enemies of society they joined to fight against. People will do horrible things to not have to admit they are part of the problem.
Always remember that there are only 2 types of police that are allowed to stay on any police force 1) Dirty cops 2) Cops that will cover up for dirty cops.
Anyone else that won't tow the party line is pushed out.
Well when the INHERENT freedoms of the founding fathers were being tread upon by the "Lawful Authorities" they started shooting them. I'm not suggesting it as a recourse only stating that it is a traditional and patriotic American solution.
Companies convicted of demanding unpaid work from their employees should be banned from making profit for at lease that quarter. The money should go to the employees.
When executives don't get bonuses and stocks dive things happen post haste.
Repeated offences should result all stocks being voided, nationalization and sale of the company. If you can't play fair you should not be allowed to play at all. Honest businesses can't prosper when dishonest businesses are allowed to get away with this crap.

The problem with lasers is that some techies are irresponsible enough to give them to pieces of garbage like the neocons.
the world would be a better place if these parasites could only throw rocks.
I have to leave the premises in a reasonable amount of time or it is considered trespassing.
Right after I get my crap is when I deem it reasonable.
Depriving someone of the use of their property is the definition of THEFT.
It's been tried on me before but no one has ever dared place a hand on me because they know they will be crippled for the rest of their life the moment they touch me.
You could sue but that's small compensation for living for the rest of your life with tubes sticking out of you.
Liberal, Democrat, Republican, Conservative it doesn't matter who tells you what the corporate agenda is. The corporations are still in charge. They are the "elite" the "haves" that like to make your decisions for you..or rather make your decisions for their profit. Anyone that supports the current system of corporate rule are the enemy no matter what party they support. Most people won't believe this and that is why they are winning the class war. Unfortunately the bulk of people like to have someone else think for them which is why democracy won't solve this problem.
It'll go a little further than last time. Rights are being lost a little bit at a time.
You can measure how good a country is by how much they ADVANCE freedom and RAISE the MEDIAN standard of living. By this measure the US is a very crappy country and getting crappier. You've become a global embarrassment to your former friends and liability to freedom everywhere.
I canceled my own trip to the US and went to Cuba instead. At least their citizens realize they live in a police state, there may be hope for them.
Unfortunately at this point in North America all you can do is wait for enough idiots to clue in to the rise of the new fascism.
When your founding fathers organized terrorist resistance they did not have to deal with flying robotic combat drones attacking them. Lets hope that when you finally have no choice but to open your eyes that it will still be possible to mount a meaningful resistance. To put it in perspective, for less than 100 years we've had the technology in place so that most people in North America can eat until they get full. The majority of your population are killing themselves with this simple non-offensive technology because they are not able to control their own actions and won't stop feeding their face. Now you want to give the technology to control and monitor every aspect of people's lives to these same fat stupid apes?
Global corporate serfdom is what's at stake here and they are winning.
Actually even the greediest pirate captains generally didn't make more than 10 times the share of a deck hand. Comparing CEOs to pirates is very insulting to the honour of pirates. At least pirates were bound to profit sharing. Maybe if employees made more CEOs walk the plank out of their corner office windows then this practice would stop.
I don't know if that life style would contribute to any LONG TERM health costs. I think that would contribute to early health care costs but you save tones on social security when they die young. I for one applaud Georgia's efforts at alleviating the social security crunch. This just in.. smoking is cool again.
Because my tax dollars were used to set up this company in a monopoly.
If it's fronted with my money it damn well better be responsible to me or I want it shut down.
If you want independance then use your own money.
The CRTC are just like any other government agency, their influence is available to those willing to pay to make it happen. They support the exploitive corporate culture not the public interest. This has been proven time and time again.
