Demand that all service providers act as common carriers, or "dumb pipes", if you will. To insure access for everybody, the basic infrastructure must be managed by a publicly accountable entity, the government, just like the roads. And these "roads" must accept all kinds of traffic. No tiering, no filtering, none of that. The "last mile" can be leased out to those who will accept these conditions. We need consumer protection with real teeth. They won't do it unless they hear from us. So speak up, and speak LOUD. I am formulating my letter at this very moment. To those of you who want to leave it up to the market, I respectfully remind you of the AM stereo debacle, and American cell phone service.
My position is that you have no right to tell a person where he can be simply because of the misfortune of his place of birth! It's no different than racism, sexism, or any other of those things. It's Jim Crow on a grand scale. And it doesn't matter if you watch FOX or not. I do sometimes. So I can tell you that you are merely echoing their tiresome bullshit.
Exactly! The water is going nowhere. There's just as much now as there was 4.5 billion years ago. And there's plenty of it bubbling up from deep underground we haven't even touched. Christ! We pipe oil 800 miles across Alaska. Do they mean to say we can't do the same for ocean water? In fact I thought it might be one of the reasons to just float the damn things, or better yet sink 'em so they are surrounded by nice cool water. As always, it's about the damn money.
Well then, time for single payer insurance. It's long over due anyway. The rest of your crap is nothing but FOX talking points that know nothing of nature and how it works.
Over 1/3 of California inmates are in for violations against prohibition. Deal with that before complaining about where they come from.
If you really want to post videos yourself, you can always host them yourself.
Oh! That's rich. Maybe you might want to read the TOS you have with your provider. And I'm sure we all have enough upstream bandwidth to handle the traffic.
Oh please! No more fences..We gotta tear down the ones we have. Go microwave if you have to. And lay more cable in a neural fashion to give true redundancy.
What's all these little red dotted lines beneath your quote there?:-)
The entire credit based economy is a ponzi scheme, but it is within that framework that I'm speaking. For it to grow, the population has to grow with it. Truth be told, the entire thing has to be ripped down, and the borders too. They only serve to keep the slaves on the plantation. A person has at least the same rights to roam freely about as a moose. If they can't bring the food home, then they must be able to go where the food is. Seems pretty basic to me.
My point is that you will need people to continue to pay into social security since Americans aren't having enough kids. Best to get these people on the payroll to avoid a breakdown. As for the person I responded to, he/she will find that once they start getting a serious income, they tend to vote more conservatively. And they too will hate the new immigrants that come in after them.
The "Bush" road was built by Nixon. Bush's crew just made it into a six lane superhighway. And Now, Obama gets to try it out...in his brand new Ferrari (get with the times, will ya? It's a Tesla)
They will be back eventually. With all the DRM they can pack.
Oh, please do! All the old DRM has been cracked. It will be like buying a puzzle. Fuck them. Somebody else will always come along to provide new distractions. Pirates created the world you live in. This economy is their design.
You know what it's good for? The radio section. I don't even keep my own music anymore. Takes up too much space, figuratively and physically. I just put on the radio, and let them do all the work.

Don't hate the playa..
Yes, please don't.. There's good in him. I felt it.
You've been a wonderful crowd. Thanks

You have illegals raiding your refrigerator?
Hey! What are you doing in there?
This is a Westinghouse, isn't it?
Yeah, so what?
Well, I'm just westing..
No, it's not.
Shows what you know...
It's starry-eyed Utopianism, the most destructive form of idiocy.
Yes and the crap that the "realists" have wrought upon us is pure genius.
Pull the other one, Einstein.

You could conceivably go back to Washington and the Wiskey Rebellion...
But this disingenious "blame Bush for everything bad, whether it's actually his fault or not" thing is getting real old.
This is what you get from people who are completely unaware of any time period before 1992. Talk about "young earth"!
Obama is going to fix that with amnesty and citizenship for the 20 million or so illegals in the country.
Well, who else is going to change your bedpan when you check into the old farts home? Would you rather have prisoners doing it?
Obama's only redeeming quality is that he has a talent for reading speeches from a teleprompter.
Reagan was way better. His delivery tops 'em all. But just like Obama, it was his only redeeming quality.
By "customers", you mean advertisers?

Why do we elect these bozos as our leaders?
IOW, who's the real idiot?
Heh, you should see what they say about the dumb suckers that vote for them.
I would suggest that anybody with a serious case of OCD stay away from that page.

Whats next? Some sort of physical DRM for printed copies?
Yeah. Like in Mission Impossible, they self destruct after purchase, but before you have a chance to read any of it.
...the concept of habeus corpus is not something that English speakers should be able to conceptualize either.
Yes, we did lose that ability just a few short years ago.
