Great points. I like the idea of term limits if only to help prevent corruption. But perhaps that solution is best left up to the contractual accountability. However, I do feel that complacency and the "good ole boys club" plays a negative

Shaming big public companies brings more attention to the discussion, which is a good thing, but I've always felt the entire focus was misdirected. How about ... spend less. Streamline that bloated money burning monstrosity called a governm

Unfortunately, for those that actually utter things like this (the younger me for example) a list of "what not to say" is not going to explain "why not", which is the most important part. That usually comes with experience.

Had the logo or placement of the logo been a result of JS, that would have been ironic. Your experience was unfortunate, but not ironic.

JS is on. Blogspot as a whole isn't working for me right now. And nothing of value was lost.

In your example, the "signal" would be what he says and I'm assuming you mean the silence to be the "noise". Large enough gaps between information could lead to a distortion of the message, regardless of how profound the information may be.

I never said you need to remove all fats from your diet. Therefore my confusion to your reply. While I missed your point, apparently you're having your own conversation.

>What kind of fat to bring to almost nothing? The point was to show that one cannot simply "add fiber" to a candy bar and make it comparable to fruit. Their individual nutritional values are not correlated because they both have sugar.
