The price of the bag of peanuts just went up.

Oh man, I'm cryin'

What "other" party? And hey, majority rule, that's the game you chose to play.

That's what's changed recently.

No, it has been the case since at least 1797 in the US. And basically throughout history. Governments have always served the financial interests that create and sustain them. The only thing different now is that they can act overtly with full consent of the voters. Our own complacency (complicity) brought us here. Walk outside and see the zombies glued to their phones, waiting for instructions. It's a robot army.

"Except when..." they say so. Pretty damn simple.

If we don't stop them, nobody will... You all know the routine. Try using your power before crying that you don't have any.

The voters don't give a damn. The TV still works, what's the big deal?

Yes, why? Did you ever have any doubt?

That quotation smacks of pure nihilism.

And?...

I mean, the word 'facetious' is Latin, right?

What argument? I've encountered no such thing.

We're jammin', we're jammin', we're jammin', we're jammin';
Hope you like jammin', too..

Oh my god, It's Mr. Smith!

I would just change the emphasis:

*Yes, but people have got to believe that...*

And that guy in the picture, he sure looks likes like somebody I see everyday at the bar, or a lot of people are wearing the same hat.

Oh! So scary the evildoers... So go lock yourself up somewhere and lease the rest of us alone.

These people are armed to the teeth...

Yeah, with our weapons, that we sell to them even now. Ironic AND tragic all at the same time, very Shakespearean.

It relies on the LTE physical layer to provide a scalable and universal framework for discovery and connecting proximate peers....Mobile operators would be the spectrum holders for LTE Direct, and as such will be authorizing and controlling access to the system. Any application seeking to equip itself with LTE Direct must work with the mobile operator.

That's right. The FBI has no way of knowing who. you. are...

You're still using their carrier wave. They can still turn off the signal at anytime. But you can still play Tetris...
