Oops. Thank you so much. I've corrected the error(s). I got so excited that I was bashing away on the keyboard and must have misspelled heroin and it autocorrected to heroine. I think I need to relearn how to type with Mavis Beacon, ha

I'm not going to rehash my recently made above comment, but you should check it out. [1] Tylenol kills 500 people a year, so I guess that means we should make it illegal, huh? Drugs are mostly destroying people and communities because

There are plenty of things that are physically addictive and still legal: caffeine, alcohol, cigarettes and a cornucopia of various pharmaceuticals (both prescription and over the counter). Also, there are an abundance of illegal drugs that

People should be allowed to put whatever they want in their body. The war on drugs is a seismic failure that does nothing but propagate the prison industrial complex. The most popular drugs on these sites are marijuana and psychedelics such

The way this has played out through social media has been amazing. The biggest thing I can think of is that someone falsified documents to make it look like the vote was taken before the 12:00 AM deadline, when it in fact took place several

It is definitely getting worse. I had MSNBC on last night as background noise and heard several pundits speculate that Snowden may have sold or given information to China or Russia.

I can't find the tweet, but a little while back Greenwald said on Twitter he has thousands of documents from Snowden.

Don't we already know that Yahoo fought hard against PRISM? Why are all of these companies lying so blatantly by saying they've never heard of it?

Why are these companies only publishing requests from the last six months? That seems like a rather short time span.

It's not a teaser. It's a refutation to someone else's comment which said, "Sorry, a year from now we'll be snoozing about this. Not against you, just tired of your self-promotion."

I think there is more to PRISM than we know right now. You should read Glenn Greenwald's latest article if you haven't' already. [1] In my opinion, he makes a lot of good points in it. "If, as NSA (and Silicon Valley) de

You should check out the link I posted above. Under the FairTax the highest and lowest brackets will see their share of taxes go down. Everyone who makes between $15,000 and $200,000 will see their share of taxes go up.

The FairTax also shifts more of the tax burden on to the middle-class. No thanks. "With the prebate program in effect, those earning less than $15,000 per year would see their share of the federal tax burden drop from -0.7 percent to -

Exactly. Look at what happened to Obama. He had his press conference last Friday and told everyone that "No one is listening to your phone calls.". Then we found out yesterday that he was pretty much lying right to us.

Greenwald has said on Twitter he has thousands of documents. I really don't think it's about Guardian page views, but more of doing proper research and, well, journalism. You just don't dump a bunch of documents out there wil

Greenwald is getting a lot of hate mail via Twitter. I don't blame him for the teasers who are usually aimed at people who are doubting him. If he dumped all the data at once, the story would blow over way faster. It's also been h
