Thank you, Bush administration. You brought us so many wonderful things: Patriot Act, PROTECT act, economy disaster, NCLB, and other heaps of bullshit as well as killing and torturing thousands if innocent people.
Why are we not prosecuting Bush&co? Oh, very easy. It's not because he&co aren't evil (because they most certainly fucking are). In our world, might makes the right -- the one with power is the one with enough propaganda powers (and just powers) to make himself right.
And you ask me why I hate religion and wasps.. this is why :) It hides evil under the mask of morality and goodness.

- DanielBMarkham 17y agoThere's an interesting discussion in there somewhere about pornography -- as I understand it even drawing stick figures on a napkin can break the law -- but with rhetorical hand-grenades like that it's impossible to have it. I'm usually good at thinking that all sorts of things can be HN, but heck if I can justify this one. There's no technology angle, there's no hacker angle. I can't even extrapolate the general principles into something resembling a startup angle. It seems designed just to incite pointless argument. Was this just copied from one of the more free-for-all boards like Reddit?
