Comment Re:Trial and extradition were never the goal (Score 2) 345

In times like these, it is important to ask. For what do you want the economy? Is the continued perpetuance and growth of the economy the goal? I do not see it as such, I believe the goal of the economy is to provide a better life for people and in order to do that any part of the economy that is rotten, absurd and wicked should be cut off and left to wither.

Now when we have everything we could wish for, perhaps it is time to reconsider what could make ones life better, could it perhaps be more materialistic wealth or could it perhaps be more time to enjoy the company of ones peer, to socialize and to enjoy art and culture? Perhaps it is shorter workdays, shorter workweek.

I also like the idea of storing excess energy by another molecule. The problem with hydrodgen is that it is a gas and hence is rather volumoues and being the smallest possible molecule one can think of, hydrogen tend to be rather difficult to contain in any container as it leaks catastrophically through seemingly solid walls. I would prefer creating ethanol from the carbondioxid in the air and water.

Without a warrant the law-enforcers are not permitted to do a search, getting a warrant permits them to do so. Usually with a search warrant for a house that means they either ask the owner to cooperate and open the door but if the owner is not cooperative, they will simply break the door. The same principle should logically be applied to search warrant for a hard-drive. Though I would like to see the law enforcers try to break into the hard-drive. :)
