why devote so much of your time to me? Surely you have more serious matters to deal with, don't you?

And deal with them I do. You're sounding kind of needy here. Can I help you?

I don't need anything from you. I see you post bullshit and I reply. Not a very complicated situation, here. If I could get you to be honest at some point that would be a nice perk but I don't expect that from you any more.

And then what is your next plan to have Obama thrown out when HR36 fails to do it? How many Benghazi investigations do you want the taxpayer to pay for?

What matters now is sowing the seeds of reform.

Your actions do not seem to be in line with that goal. You are currently calling for the consumption of millions - if not billions - of federal dollars in investigations that are politically motivated and driven by nothing more than "because I want to see this investigated". Eventually you will have completely discarded the legal system in your unending desire to throw out Obama.

This does not sow the seeds of reform. This sows the seeds of revenge. Eventually the shoe will be on the other foot and don't think that the democrats won't remember your efforts. If your goal is to drive the government into a total standstill, you might accomplish that by setting this machine into motion, but you certainly won't bring about "reform", "justice", or anything else that would be a positive change in the federal government.

Conservatives are desperately grasping at a mountain of straws hoping to find one that can break Obama's back. So far they clearly have less traction than a Yugo in Crisco, but they keep trying anyways. They are not afraid to try to manufacture a controversy if it will bring them more air time, either.

Why do you not hold yourself to the same standard?

I also don't have time to watch everything Andy Warhol ever filmed, which, at a guess, has the merit of anything the NYT ever printed.

With that statement you are doing more to prove my point than to disprove it. I had stated before that you would not read a link to a site like dailykos or huffingtonpost (while expecting me to read reason, powerline, and townhall). Here you just brushed aside one of the oldest names in journalism in our country because you perceive them to somehow be evil or inferior to your conservative blogs.

I stand by my point. You won't read sources you don't like. You hold the rest of the world to a much different standard of reading than what you hold yourself to.

Yeah. As a Satanist (and presumably outstanding employee), we really need to offer you ample opportunity to review your theological choices.

By review do you mean reconsider, or do you mean declare and invest in?

Furthermore, how would the NiemÃller quotation apply less?

That quotation doesn't apply to either case. Nobody "came" for anyone. There was no force or government action at play here. So indeed the quote applies equally - by which I mean not at all to either - to both cases.

Doubtless there is some merit to your re-election point

Thank you. However unlike you I suspect Boehner has actually read the existing reports.

and still want to see HR36 put to a vote.

I'd say more than just the "community". We have a great many companies that incorporate this software and generate billions from the sales of applications or services incorporating it, without returning anything to its maintenance.I think it's a sensible thing to ask Intuit, for example: "What did you pay to help maintain OpenSSL?". And then go down the list of companies.

OK guys. We've promoted Open Source for decades. We have to own up to our own problems.

This was a failure in the Open Source process. It is just as likely to happen to closed source software, and more likely to go unrevealed if it does, which is why we aren't already having our heads handed to us.

But we need to look at whether Open Source projects should be providing the world's security without any significant funding to do so.

How are we dealing with the challenge of allowing people to hold opinions, to take perfectly legal actions, and have the line shift across those opinions, without fear of blowback?

There is a group that wants to build a monument for Satanism. If I contributed to that and my employer was opposed to it, would you be opposed to them firing me for it?
