Harper is trying his hardest to bring the ugliest parts of the US to Canada.

Yes, but no one will join you because they're too busy watching TV.

Yes, that is a small change in composition relative to the atmosphere, but what is the effect? Adding a few grains of salt to a glass of water will pretty much have no noticeable effect. But adding a small drop of food colouring to that same glass of water will affect the colour significantly. A small change CAN have big effect.

I don't get it, after reading the comments here, why is there so much resistance accept that man is causing climate change? Just thinking logically, it makes sense. We're taking carbon that's been buried for millions of years, and then burning it, on a huge scale. How can this not affect the climate? I actually hope that the climate skeptics are right.

Not so fast! A banker was shot dead this year in Lichtenstein. Although, since it's a banker, maybe I would count this as a positive killing...

How about we all start sending take down notices claiming copyright on all Sony content, forcing all Sony content to be taken offline. Even better if we're able to take down all MAFIAA content off of YouTube.

The constitution has become merely a historical document. When there's no one to enforce it, it's essentially useless.

The NSA is using terrorism as an excuse for industrial espionage, which then is probably then used to further enrich the already wealthy. I wouldn't be surprised if the NSA is spying for Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan to get inside information so they can trade accordingly. This would at least be consistent with the pattern of using tax payer's money to enrich a few people.

I wonder if blocking this kind of stuff is self defeating. It sort of signals what you should be looking at. If I saw that The Huffington Post was blocked, it would make me curious and I would find a way to read The Huffington Post.

But now, the printing presses are controlled by the richest people in the world, which happen to profit the most from the current money printing. The biggest banks get essentially free loans, then buy treasuries at 2% yield, profit! All while the brunt of the population has to suffer the corresponding inflation. Sure, inflation is low, if you don't eat or use any energy.

And Jon Corzine lied to congress, and there's event proof of it. But he seems to be immune from jail.

It amazes me that US prosecutors go full throttle going after people like Barrett Brown and Aaron Swartz, while people like Jon Corzine (who made $1.6B of customer money disappear at MF Global) and many other fraudsters in the banking industry are left alone to continue their fraud. And no one seems to care enough to do something about it.

If the top 5% have 80% of the wealth, shouldn't they be contributing 80% of the tax base. Or am I missing something here?

They probably bought the unlimited plan, but didn't read the fine print, where unlimited is defined as 1000 wiretaps.

What's the big deal? The market will either accept or reject this. Just don't buy it! Or buy a real espresso machine. Over the lifetime of an espresso machine, the cost of a coffee is really small, probably in the range of $0.15 - $0.25 range.
