The fact that it's subject to interpretation is in itself showing how ridiculous the whole argument is. It's a piece of paper...it will mean whatever the government employees, judges and cops want it to mean.

Yeah - agreed. This is the argument the police use to justify warrantless searches: "If you are not doing anything wrong, what do you have to hide?" The point is not what I have to hide...the point is that I own myself, that I have an actual constitutional right to not be searched and tracked without a warrant, and just because your douche-bag policy attitude gets offended when I exercise these rights, it doesn't make them less real.

Agreed...I was just being sarcastic :) My kids are the most talkative and interactive kids I know. Like I said...kick ass.

Bad analogy. Just because the Internet was created by Government, it doesn't mean the economic need was not there to develop faster, better and more efficient means of communication. The Internet was built on the work of people like Bell and others who created the early telegraph and telephone systems. All private individuals motivated by personal and economic reasons. If the State did not do it, someone else would have...it's the nature of human achievement. The only difference between the two is this: The State does it with money they steal from me; the individuals do it with their own funds, which allows them to manage risk and expense much more effectively, introducing efficiencies that you will never find in government research labs.

The P word....you must be a Rush Limbaugh dittohead.

Are you talking about the private ownership of land or about how mountains look from the distance? I imagine if a private entity would buy Yellowstone, the pictures you'd take from the side of the road would look identical.

Yeah...they are unsocialized triglodytes. And we love it.

I homeschool - my kids kick ass and I don't need your fucking State education. Roads have always started private...look at the turnpikes development early last century. There are plenty of private parks all over this country and they are better maintain with lower funds. Energy and geo research will be fine if the government gets the hell out of it and starts leaving people alone to discover the economic incentives. If the economic incentives are not there, then tough shit. I guess the rocks will have to wait to be discovered by some government bureaucrats that gets paid with theft money..

Yes...because only the almighty government can do these things...

It was a bacteria not virus that caused it...

So now I am not allowed to say "bomb" online? Bomb bomb bomb...bomb bomb bomb bomb!!

There has to be a way for the Patriot Act spying to go mobile...you can't just have people spying on Americans from a cubicle somewhere when they can do it from the privacy of their own government-owned car...

So this is just another way to entice me into staying longer in a room that smells like crap and touch a mirror that's been likely touched by a douchebag that doesn't wash his hands after he touches himself? No thanks...

And the use of government power by corporate cronies continues...why let the market decide which device should be sold and bought when you can use the power and violence of Government to work in your favor?

Why is Google+ growing so quickly?

Because it's not Facebook...
