I trained my 91 year old mother-in-law with a Motorola Xoom. I put I put the email app on the front. Of course, now she can't find the tablet, but that is irrelevant to the question of which tablet to use

If this is the same Ellen Richardson, a disabled author, the DHS did not need her medical records. She posted her suicidal tendencies on the internet. http://ellenrichardson.ca/ http://ellenrichardson.ca/bio/index.html

If fossil fuels are doing so great then why do they need subsidies? Thats what the GOP doesn't like, not that such a thing exists, but that the government creates distortions in the economy by picking winners before the race starts. Old school republicans and libertarians both distaste government intervention. Fossil fuels eventually rise or fall without subsidies, lets wait for that to happen.

The United States has become a nation of public financing and private profits.

No wonder I am having a hard time logging into healthcare.gov to look at my (probably) new insurance. All the bandwidth is being sucked up by GTA5, because they both launched the same day.

I want restrictions on all those OTHER children. My child is special.

I think the problem is EVERYTHING is labeled Top Secret and everything is a terrorist group. Is this going to embarrass Senator X? Label it top secret. Twenty years in the future, this fact MIGHT be pertinent. Label it Super Top Secret. Annoyed with someone? Label him a terrorist. Annoyed with a situation. Must be terrorists. In the rush to cover their governmental asses, everything must be labeled top secret and everyone must be spied on, because, ya know, they might become a terrorist someday. Land of the Free, as long as you do not upset anyone in power: corporate, military or government.

I see privacy issues both ways. If the cops is required to wear Google glasses all the time, we have an issue where the cops cannot use the restroom or eat in privacy. And if he takes them off, then some lawyer will be upset about the missing time. I also see a problem with overriding the individual judgement of the cop. What if he feels he HAS to write a ticket instead of just give a warning, because his every move is being monitored by someone. I think we should just stick with dashcams

I actually went out and read/watched TFA (gasp!) What is created by this robot is aesthetically pleasing to me. My definition of art is: something that can invoke an emotional response. Some of the pictures invokes loneliness, or struggle. I would call it art.

Are these going to be kept at the school? Or home? Have they thought this out? What is to keep an addicted parent from selling the ipad? The curious toddler from taking it apart or dropping it in the bathtub? I don't think will end well.

Fairness has nothing to do with it. I am saying it is UNCONSTITUTIONAL. Illegal. Violation of oaths.

All Snowden did was let the us, (ya know...We the People of these United States) know that the secret courts, and secret spying was running amuck. As we employ these people, we should have a say as to what is funded. How would an employer feel if he had a secret project in his company that had an unlimited budget. Ya think he might want to know details? You think the head of the project should tell him that he did not need to know, security and all that. And that he had no right to know what was going on? This is beyond bizarre

It IS a start. I live in Kansas, a deeply red state. I called my representative on this, and he actually voted "Aye" to reduce the funding. I was shocked, but pleased. He is what you can do, as a lowly, unimportant citizen. Look at the list. http://politics.nytimes.com/congress/votes/113/house/1/412 . If your representative voted "NO" then he voted that the NSA should continue to spy on everyone. Vote him out. He is probably deep in the pocket of the Corporations/Military or deeply believes that the NSA accumulation of all phone, postal mail, email, for-all-I-know bedroom data is a wonderful thing. Vote him/her out. Your vote is one thing they have not managed to neuter yet.
