Yet the federal government does spend money on education. This is a fact, and in no way am I being dishonest when I say that if the federal government spent more money on education then we would have a more well educated electorate. The r

Who is being "intellectually dishonest?" When you refer to "our government," I automatically assume that you mean the federal government, as I'm unsure of whether you reside in the same state as I, or not. I was referring to the federal gov

Your own linked to site lists the following expenditures by the US federal government: Pensions = 24% Health Care = 24% Defense = 23% Welfare = 12% Interest = 6% Other Spending = 4% Transportation = 3% Educ

"Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power." - Benito Mussolini. Your definition is a new interpretation, and is only one of many forms of fascism. I'll continue to adhere to th

What some refer to as "crony capitalism" is more properly labeled "fascism." (Corporate intermingling with government at the expense of the plebiscite) As evidence there's the trend toward appointing people with strong ties to the very enti

I don't know how old you are, but I've been aware of the Boston Marathon for decades. (I used to be an endurance athlete) People come from all over the world to compete in the Boston Marathon, as they do the New York Marathon, the Honolulu

The Boston Marathon is a high profile event, and when explosives are involved, the security response is elevated. Explosives != pillows. The "world renowned" aspect is just that. The world is watching how we respond to such incidents, and t

There's really no logical comparison between your fictional scenario and what occurred in Boston. The Boston Marathon is a world renowned event, and the apprehension of the perpetrators of the attacks was a necessary thing, because, as some

People are denial about fascism in the USA. Just look at how many pharmaceutical products are approved by the FDA only to be eventually recalled. Of further concern are the pharmaceuticals advertised as having side effects which "may result

I got fairly good results using decidedly esoteric queries, and although I'm on a very s-l-o-w connection I didn't notice a great speed discrepancy.

This is no different than "Signature" killings via UAV, nor is it much different than the Telcoms receiving immunity for their participation in the unconstitutional domestic surveillance program. It's just another example of how far our nat

Kind of late now, huh? The "Cat Signal" was activated prior to this debacle as a means to urge netizens to contact their elected representatives and garner opposition to CISPA. My elected representative voted no. Thank you Tulsi!
