I have to agree with you on this... with just religion and greed we could probably account for 95% of the worlds problems, with most of that being due to religious differences.

And now our own idiot teabaggers want nothing more than to put in an American Theocracy. These people just do not look at the harm religion has done to other countries.

I would love to be able to watch 3D movies, but the parts I want to look at (background action) are always blurred and I walk out of the theater with a head-banger of a migraine. My wife is the same way, except she claims that she does not watch the background like I do. An example of interesting background action would be "Natural Born Killers", not anywhere near a great movie, but the background scenes tell the rest of the story as the foreground limps along.

When 3D is as focused as 2D, then maybe I'll try again.
 

Actually, no one news source gives you complete coverage. I listen to CNN, MSNBC, BBC, PBS and others, plus read as much as possible, newspapers, magazines, and the web. It takes thought and effort to weed out the bull from the truth.

That's pure and utter bullshit! You've been listening to Faux News too much! Try listening to real news sources, not the Republican Propaganda Machine that is Faux News.

I have a saying that keeps me secure in my house and my office:

"If it comes into my possession, I control it."

What that means is that it does exactly what I say, does not call home unless I let it, does not keep hidden logs, does not have back doors, does not answer to anyone but me or the person I have controlling it. I think if this were phrased in lawyer speak, then that would be all we need from technology.

There would be no DRM, there would be no humans answering to robots, ever, even if the robots were made to be security guards, and that is in progress as we speak. There would be no way a manufacturer could say that you could not use their machine in the way you want.
