He doesn't sound much like a libertarian. More like a Republican trying to look cool.

Umm, I pay Comcast to delivery content to me. If I want to stream video from a content provider, that's my decision. I make the request, not the content provider. The request for data is coming from Comcast's customer, not the content provider.

If Comcast is losing money because of the requests that I make, then they need to change their pricing structure with me, not blackmail the content provider.

We need enforcement of current laws. I have never, never, seen anyone pulled over for talking or texting on the phone. Let alone charged for it.

And if we're talking about context-sensitive devices, how about a car that extends a 4" spike from the steering wheel every time it sense you fscking around with your phone.

most up-to-date climate models—including those used by the United Nations’ prestigious Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)—incorporate the effects of the sun’s variable degree of brightness in their overall calculations.

This wasn't difficult. Are you being willfully ignorant?

Army Intelligence personnel were photographed engaging in the abuse of prisoners at Abu Ghraib along with the grunts that were convicted. Those officers have never been identified or charged. Probably because they were also following orders, but had the good sense to get those orders in writing.
