no way. if Gore or Kerry had won we'd have pretty much exactly the same shit today but for different rhetoric, different inconsequential bones thrown out, but as far as wars for Israel and laws that affect the cash flow, identical

QED: Obama

weak

the buzz happened bc the idea met a hungry public. too bad they dont have millions of dollars, but the dream of a federated system seems here to stay regardless of how long it takes, or who makes it happen.

gotcha

It's relatively easy getting rid of a government but you should at least try and have some sort of plan to replace the old before you start storming the barricades.

wow, you're turning the snobbery dial to 11, too bad it wasn't parody...
and, not sure what is more classic "dumb american", the part of how easy it is to overthrow a govt. or the notion that the first priority above all should _obviously_ be the cash flow.

exactly. could be the damn govt itself.

"A spam filter isn't a magical device that "just works" without you needing to do anything."

unless it's ctyme's spam filter. I have a gmail acct that has NEVER been given out, it's there to receive a daily digest, and yet it gets many pieces of spam every day while my main addy has been in use since before spam itself and was freely posted all over the internets in the early years...without filtering gets hundreds of spams per hour. but after ctyme's filters maybe one or two slip through per WEEK (with the occassional new exploit getting through for a day or two before getting figured out. the guy is _good_) and I've yet to discover a false positive after 5 or 6 yrs now.

funny, you seem to be suggesting that the the infamous 'swiftboating' of Kerry was purely an honest setting straight of history by his mates rather than a deeply dishonest and dishonorable ultra-right wing Koch Bros. funded slander operation. Which means you're either still duped after 7 years or just another conscious-less and dishonest piece of shit from the far right. or a mixture of both...and of course, an anonymous coward.

and more with a simple conversion. but bitcoin could easily gain a stable level of liquidity as he says, and match those numbers. why not. i love the part about _no f-ing paypal_

damn straight

"WTF? What security has religion ever provided?"

WTF you say? Considerable social cohesion for starters. But more specifically, the way individuals manage the chaos. That is, the framework for a brain to function in the world. You may say "that is simply opiate for _lame persons_", but the amazing Zizek can certainly help disabuse you of that naivety. I dish off to him bc to attempt to describe it is beyond the scope of a few paragraphs, (plus I'm never going to come close to doing it adequately anyway). But I will hint at the notion that 'religion' isn't the core of it, that is, the 'brands' you recognize, but rather the innate human faculty which creates religion(s) and which belief creates. It might even be fair to say that there is no security without "religion". You're soaking in it!

The name is not the thing named, but respect is still worthwhile.
