The only one of those that may be plausible may be better healthcare. I don't see many poor people living in something like the Palace of Versaille or eating as voraciously as Louis XIV

They did it on Flight 93, on 9/11.

This isn't about prison (which is for convicted criminals), this is jail, which you can go to merely for being suspected of a crime. You don't have to actually break the law. You usually don't even get to see a judge or your lawyer first. Forty years ago this is something we would've accused the Soviets of and criticized them for it while saying that America is better than that. Now we'll get people doublethinking that it's freedom.

My philosophy classes were about robots, computers, brains, and logic. Never had to read Nietzsche, Bacon, Aristotle, or Kant. Still managed to get a major in it (and computer science, guess which one I actually use). That's what I get for doing philosophy at an engineering college.

I'll be a'ok with the argument that human rights flow from people to corporations just as soon as legal responsibility flows back from corporations to people. If we as a society accept the legal fiction that corporations are a separate entity from the people running them then the entire argument that the rights flow from the actual humans to the corporation falls apart. At that point it isn't legally just a group of people getting together to send out a message, it's something wholly separate.

What do you expect? Most Americans don't get all that much vacation time. Take away a day or two of time and it's not small fries.

What if you brought along a Canadian friend and they paid for everything (and you documented the entire trip with a video camera)?

Publishers don't need to implement that. They just need to support/bribe politicians into shrinking library budgets until libraries aren't able to be effectively run anymore.

Unless you want to go to Hawaii.

The other side is shouting just as loudly "He wants to fund government programs? SOCIALIST!".
