That's some potent marketspeak you're astroturfing there.

That would be a Buzz kill.

So was Troy, until someone dug it out.

Should have re-read that earlier: "You can give cash money to individuals to write personal checks to political parties who then pay a you", those two "you" should be different individuals. The briber and then the bribed.

You can give cash money to individuals to write personal checks to political parties who then pay a you a salary aside from your government salary...

All of those things I know about because people were caught doing them, as reported in the press.

That's much more accurate than "blind"!

The text after the link (There are ways to...) is my own and should be Plain Old Text.

The Conference Board of Canada bills itself as "the foremost, independent, not-for-profit applied research organization in Canada. Objective and non-partisan. We do not lobby for specific interests." These claims should take a major hit based on [may 2009]'s release of a deceptive, plagiarized report on the digital economy that copied text from the International Intellectual Property Alliance (the primary movie, music, and software lobby in the U.S.)

There are ways to pay off corrupt politicians that aren't campaign contributions. You can promise them a high-paying job after they leave public office, you can pay for their vacation expenses, you can let them borrow your luxury car, you can spend the evening with them in a fancy restaurant, eating delicious meals and drinking expensive wines, and you pay their bill, etc.

This bill is written to please a specific lobby, they have shown in the past that they break rules and laws in complicity with those lobbies, it's a logical deduction that this law was written under the moneyed influence of that same lobby/cartel/oligarchy.

Manufacturing Consent

The film presents and illustrates Chomsky's and Herman's thesis that corporate media, as profit-driven institutions, tend to serve and further the agendas of the interests of dominant, elite groups in the society. A centerpiece of the film is a long examination of the history of The New York Times' coverage of the Indonesian occupation of East Timor, which Chomsky says exemplifies the media's unwillingness to criticize an ally of the elite.

So the fellow in Stockholm, who's name is Paolo Macchiarini, decided to try, first time - he thought the time was ripe to try an experiment in which they would take a scan of his trachea to make sure they had the exact dimensions. A fellow in London has invented this spongy plastic. It's porous. Make a model of his trachea that's exactly the right size. Meanwhile, a company in Massachusetts was making an incubator.

The model and the incubator were flown to Stockholm and the patient was sent there. And they took some of his bone marrow, I think probably from the hip bone. The bone marrow contains stem cells, which can make a variety of different tissues. They combine the fellow's stem cells in this incubator with this model, which sort of serves as a scaffold for the cells to grow on, along with several growth factors that tell the cells what kind of cells to become, namely cartilage, which is what trachea, wind pipes are made of.

And within a couple of days, enough cells have grown in the surface of this thing that they could put it into his - they took out his diseased wind pipe, put this in, stitched him up, and it worked.

You know he got caught and you know he didn't reimbursed those he defrauded, so you know for a fact that his claims of regret are mere attempts at lessening the severity of his punishment, and nothing more.

You're so close to being self aware. Close, but no cigar.
