Oh, better not let the poor or even middle class use the same tools and get the same advantages of us rich elite. Only professionals can act with responsibility, we must task our politicians and police to put down any attempts by the poor t

What can people do about secret backroom deals? Honestly very little or just about nothing unless you have more money and influence than the mega corps who want this deal passed. No, what people can do is just ignore the law and defy the go

Perhaps we should all look forward instead of back, you know the way did with fucking torture.

People usually read log files because something went wrong, like a system crash, why do you assume the OS that generated the log file will be readily available?

Sleight of hand and linguistic gymnastics. Freedom from inequality comes from freedom to buy and sell goods and labor without* restrictions or borders, inequality is near all time highs because of crony capitalism and corrupt governments. E

Again, you are correct, your link suggests just what you are writing, unfortunately it is somewhat absurd the way it conflates assets and liabilities. http://ballotpedia.org/Net_worth_of_United_States_Senators_a... lists me

Read your own link dude, its over half and many have absurd levels of debt.

You're correct, only the vast majority are millionaires. Also you don't get a million in debt by being poor.

To underline your point people should go look up median wealth by zip code and look at the top ten, they'll see pigs massed around the trough of DC. We've somehow been suckered into supporting a massive class of very expensive bur

Yes, I believe every congress member is now a millionaire and most are multi millionaires.

by shit_parade2 11y ago
Because your explanation is nonsense. Congress has enough time to fundraise, they have plenty of time to legislate and they do legislate extensively and almost exclusively in the interest of those who give them money. It has nothing to do w

Every member of congress fund raise every day, sometimes going to multiple fundraising events in a single day. Congress is bought and paid, believing otherwise is to ignore the obvious.

Seems like checksums could solve the issue of minor textual edits of classic texts. Sites like project Gutenberg could even keysign texts if we thought this a major concern. I wouldn't mind an apt-get 1984.txt

To be clear you, not me nor the parent, but you introduced good and evil into the conversation. We were discussing fine, as in decent or humane. But if the words good and evil are to mean anything then the torture and murder of innocents mu

Our public servants are not fine people. They kill unarmed civilians in their custody, they kill Americans without cause nor due process, they torture innocents, admit they torture innocents, and then do nothing. Our public officials state

If you view us politics through a red blue lens you've already been brainwashed.

What about when police officers wantonly kill people or CIA operatives torture the innocent? Of course they should go to jail, justice is blind, the law applies to all, look up the magna carta. When some are more equal than others injustice

Compete fantasy. Eric Holder is on record stating he did not pursue criminal charges against large financials because of systemic risk. One law for some, another for everyone else.

Yeah, except crime and injury statistics completely destroys your hogwash armchair musings. Everyone, including children, are much safer now then 30 years ago. If people want to talk about safety, driving a car is one of the more dangerous

“We must ask ourselves how we reached the point where a parent’s biggest fear is that government officials will literally seize our children off the streets as they walk in our neighborhoods,” he said. I think the quote speaks for itself.

They should be paranoid since banks lose billions to fraud every year. Of course they commit hundreds of billions of dollars in fraud so it doesn't much matter.

Missions can be pre-programmed, but there "will always be a human monitoring the mission", it added. Great use of it. Reminds me of Eclipse Phase nano swarms. The video suggests these are less than a meter in length and not yet we
