It used to be that street photography was, for the most part, only seen by the photography buffs at photo shows and such, and in the occasional photo specialty mag. Now? It can be posted on the internet and seen everywhere. And once facial recognition software is readily available? Ugh.
This ready availability is a problem for many people and specifically for people who do not wish abusers/stalkers to recognize them and know where they are. Sometimes a PFA is not enough.
Funny, I just got an email today from HuffPo "Eyes and Ears" to attend a meetup and do some citizen journalism. My first thought was "Why would I wanna do that for aoHell??"
Well, a friend of mine in Albany NY, where off track betting on the horses is legal, is a sports reporter who specializes in horse racing. He just told me that BofA has, for awhile now, been refusing transfers from BofA to the tracks or to the OTB offices EVEN THOUGH IT"S LEGAL. He said people in that world have known about this for awhile now.
I've not seen much of anything come through in the media about that either.
Since when did Bank of America decide they have a right to tell ANYONE how to spend their dough? No matter what you may feel about gambling, this isn't right.
Um, we paid for that internet and were promised a lot in return . . . which the ISPs such as Verizon and AT&T never delivered on. In my book that's called theft. And now you want to let them do what they want with the network that taxpayers paid for? Turn the internet into Bud TV and the Home Shopping Network????
You need to do some reading on the history of the internet. If you do, you might realize that you're talking out your ass . . .
Thank you for the succinct summation. You only missed a couple points. The corporations are making a profit off spectrum that belongs to us, the American people. Regulating the use of our spectrum by corporations who would like to steal it for their own use is a wise thing to do. And it's the law that WAS in effect when the internet became wildly successful. Of course, that's when local loop unbundling was also the law of the land. Funny, the corporations managed to lobby that out of existence in most parts of the country, but other countries took our good idea and built internet access that kicks our butt forward, backward and sideways. If we don't figure out a way to put things back the way they were, we're going to be relegated to backwater status as a country a dozen years hence.
Most of my clients don't want to switch their email from their ISP to their domain, since they have no clue how to reconfigure the email client. And that's something I can't do for them.
The Public Option has been so watered down that it only will pick up the slack for a tiny percentage of the people without insurance. The rest are going to be REQUIRED to BUY insurance. So this will NOT put the health insurance companies out of business. It will make them rich. We have the best political system money can buy . . .
Not that it matters, since she's in Canada.
I'm a small businessperson already overburdened with paperwork. If I had to collect sales tax for every state I have a customer in, I'd have 30 or so quarterly forms to fill out and file instead of the one I barely have time for. Personally I think sales tax should be done away with entirely anyway EVERYWHERE. It's overly burdensome on the poor, who can least afford it. And then this argument goes away. If states need income, let them charge income tax and property tax.
Well, at least the page is styled now, unlike it was a month or so ago, when all the stylesheet links were mysteriously failing in firefox and only firefox.
We have the technology to make renewables more cost effective, especially the ones you haven't mentioned-- Geothermal, tidal, microhydro, and others, as well as wind and solar.
The thing that pisses me off the most when you nuke lovers speak is you always point to photovoltaic and say how inefficient it is. You're right. There are better ways to use the sun's power, ie direct heating of homes via both passive and active systems.
Throwing more trillions of dollars to the Nuclear Industry is like throwing the money into a failed bank . . .
Invest in a few cases. Put piles out every night for a week or two in places where you know the rats will move through. Rats eat the dehydrated potatoes. Potatoes hit moist rat stomache and expand. Rat Explodes. End of Rat. Then you just have to follow the smell to clean up the mess.
We used to do this in the horse barn. Cats don't like instant mashed potatoes, though you will have to put them in a place inaccessible to dogs. And dehydrated potatoes aren't poisons in the traditional sense, won't pollute the groundwater or foul anything else up.
I used to go to Livingston College back in the early 70's, which is part of Rutgers U and built on the old Camp Kilmer grounds. We used to take downtime in the woods, amongst the old bunkers and places where they used to train. There were a few places in the woods nearby that were marked with very old warning signs that bore the radioactive symbol, if you could find them under the weeds, and read 'em with the paint faded the way it was.
I can also remember a few houses on Stelton Rd that had to have their yards dug up to a depth of around 4 or 5 feet since the contractor who had built those homes 40 or more years before had gotten the fill dirt off one of the backroads in the Camp. The geiger counter readings in those yards were through the roof.
It might pay to have a spare, a pay-as-you-go phone for just such emergencies. Most of us wouldn't need that type of redundancy, but in your case (and the case of every doctor on call) it should be mandatory.
Um, since the Dems have had the majority, the FISA bill WITH telecomm immunity has passed, they handed our treasury over to the Wall Street Idiots who trashed our economy, the newest version of the Farm Bill has very little meaningful reform of Big Agribusiness in it, Guantanamo Bay still harbors prisoners who were tortured, Bush/Cheney still haven't been impeached, etc etc etc.
I'm a Dem, but I swear, I am NEVER going to vote for ANY incumbent ever again. Why? The wiretapping that Bush/Cheney did was for a purpose, and I think I know what that purpose was.
No, that's not what we need. Algae needs water. Lots and lots of water. And with problems like the post beetle devastating upper reach forests in the Rockies and wiping out the watershed, that will be in very short supply ten year from now. The south has suffered massive droughts from climate change as well. Desertification from stupid land use will do the rest.
Geothermal, tidal, solar, and wind in combination will give us what we need. Bio anything is not the answer.
Did you know that there is roughly the same amount of US acreage in farm production today as in the year 1900? And we have triple the population? You do the math.
No, the smart ones got bored and moved onto other challenges, like interacting with other smart people or taking up hobbies and activities that would fill the void. I threw out my TV a dozen years ago, haven't been to a movie in ages. I'm learning how to speak Italian, and learning to play violin. And I read books. Lots of books. Ironically, I'm rereading Asimov right now.

That this is another study funded by the oil or coal or nuclear industry . . .

They're actually Trolleys, but it's basically the same idea. Run by overhead power.

If we all stopped paying taxes, the Corporations would go broke . . .

The ocean full of used condoms, empty water bottles and bits of rubber duckies, and the smog so thick over land that it looks just like . . . HOME.

Banks CREATE money. They do this by creating notes for money that's been loaned.
Quick! Call a Doctor! This is serious! What if he speaks like this in front of a JUDGE????
Nuclear energy Belongs in the Technology Museum since it is not sustainable, and it is NOT clean.

So this does not surprise me in the least.

It's worse than that. The US Government PAID small business people, in the form of tax incentives, to buy those particular gas guzzlers.

I suspect A ClockWork Orange would similarly be misunderstood.
