Comment Re:anyone surprised? (Score 1) 478

Well, duh. After the TSA "Fusion Centers" (fusing domestic spying and anal probes) got established all over the US with no public outcry, who can be surprised?

"We are spying on you. If we suspect you of something, we can do anything we want for as long as we want and if you talk back you are a proven enemy."

Are there people that read this site that also believe the television movie called The News played each night to get the group think going? Maybe I'd be more sympathetic if I watched TV... Where is that quote about fitting into a sick society...?

"...it is concerned about the absolute freedom of the software, not the user or developer."

If that is what it means, y'all need a better way of saying it. Say what you mean and mean what you say.

"Information" (e.g. software) does not have wants and desires. It is confusing as hell to keep saying "Information wants..." or "freedom of the software". I have no idea WTF that means and I don't think everybody interprets it the same way as you. So as far as a communication goes, it is an epic fail.

We have had a central banking "system" since 1913 consisting of a group of privately owned banks. It controls the price and supply of money, just like in the Soviet Union. Corporate Socialism is still socialism. Social Security is the definition of a Ponzi scheme, so I don't know if that qualifies as socialism. Medicare and Medicaid are already socialized medicine. The tax laws giving people "entitlements" is socialism (do you think there is free market capitalism in the US? That's funny, but a little sad too.). The income tax is theft in the name of socialism, because people in Washington will do better with it than the market would have done on it's own. Right or wrong, it certainly isn't a free market...
