In other news, the PR-contact for the North American Bug COalition said that they'd be locating outside the metropolitan area as the air in Chicago isn't conducive to health.

Duh! You need to be one of the overseas viewers who don't pay anything at all for the service. Greedy Brit :P

Nothing, because free will isn't really a meaningful concept. It all falls apart when you try to define it.

When definition proves difficult, often a series of examples allows the definition to be communicated indirectly.

I'll start the ball rolling by responding only with the word 'cheese' as a full explanation of your incorrectness.

I guess it's more difficult to profit long-term from rehabilitation.

What kind of business model would it be for those organizations running prisons if they start creating less demand for their services?

We're looking for a new project

Signed, the NSA.

Whoosh

If they did give a fuck, how would it look?

You might not have noticed but we in the free world live in fur-lined cages guarded by retarded jack-booted thugs empowered by their masters. There are few opportunities for change beyond a change of mind; for that, widespread access to accurate information is required; not coincidentally, control of information is the front on which open battle is raging. Once secured, it's game over, people.

Ask yourself why *they* stopped shooting presidents.

I am afraid the watchers will go back to work with a confidence reeking of our tacit permission.

For me, this is the core of the problem; they're not asking for permission and our lack of permission has no teeth or even gums.

In most other developed countries this would be considered bribery

I can assure you that it is recognized as bribery and that the world has been looking on in horror as your giant flaming snowball* spins out of control.
