The goal of the Navy is to NOT have a sub lost due to a nuclear accident.

The goal of the OIL company is to make as much money as possible while pushing as much of the cost and risk to other people.

This spill is a consequence of corporate valuation in monetary units as the sole reason for corporate existence.

Ah, yes! Everyone uses language. Copyright language. NOW, everyone uses YOUR copyrighted language. SO! PROFITS RAIN DOWN FROM THE SKY! Well, that is exactly how the drug addled minds behind these schemes think. SO the next best thing is to TAX everyone for using language.

Well, we know where all of the communists and socialists are. This is nothing more than redistribution of wealth!

The argument used by christians who claim that life does not exist beyond the confines of earth are all derivatives of "It's not in the bible, so it must not exist." The vatican has often ruled on the validity of science via the interpretation of scripture. What this means is that someone takes the literal writings of the bible ands says: If these words are true, then what must also be true? So if the bible says that the earth was created but does not mention any other world, then no other worlds must have been created. Such interpretations have been demonstrated to be patently false as we have found other worlds in orbit around other suns, and we have shown that the earth is not the center of the universe, and we have shown that the sun does not go round the earth. Nevertheless, the interpretation of scripture as a means of determining the nature of the world continues.

The catholic church was given the power to write the laws of christianity by the Emperor Constantine at the first council of Niceae where the full count of bishops of the christian church were brought together by the power of the emperor and the decisions of the council were enforced by the power of the roman empire. While the churches of the christian religion all claim that their faith gives them the moral authority to interpret the scriptures, the legal authority to write the laws of the religion is derived from the ancient roman legal authority.

They are wasting our time and money on this obviously stupid stuff and because it is so stupid, they slap "super secret" on it. Just because something is "secret" does not mean that it is in the best interest of the public to not know about it. The real national security issue is that some jackass got on a plane with a bomb in Nigeria, and then made it through Amsterdam and all the way to Detroit before trying to blow up the plane. Making passengers sit still with their hands in the air for the last hour of a 12 hour flight doesn't address how the bomb got on the flight to Detroit in the first place. The TSA has a tough job: keep the bombs off the planes without making air travel so odious that it doesn't work. But when the TSA does something like this proposal - something so obviously not related to fixing the actual problem, they want it to be secret because everyone will think, and rightfully so, that Colonel Klink and Sergeant Shultz of Hogan's Heros are running airport security.

To me, this leak falls under the whistleblower laws. This type of stupidity is negligent.

But of course, the TSA thinks that all of its requirements and lists must be secret because the "Bad Guys" will get through much easier if things are known. But then, secret laws and secret rules with brutal enforcement are fundamentally unfair and ineffective. Far too easy to catch the ignorantly innocent rather than the nefarious. The TSA has a history or trying to hide their rules and go with arbitrary requirements, and by golly they don't want ANYONE to talk about it.

Forget you. You are not valuable. You are an expense. You are a necessary evil that cuts into the profits. Why do you think the company stock goes up when a bunch of you are laid off? If you were valuable assets, then the company could borrow against your value like it can against inventory and accounts receivable. You could be sold or traded like inventory or the old company car.

Right now there are fifty guys in line for your job. Your manager can replace you with another monkey in clothing faster than you can say "But I like music." IT does not matter what your experience or your skills or education, you are a cog in a machine and when you squeak you get replaced with some less squeaky cog.

That's the nature of companies in our day in age.
