Really? That seems to be the exception in the US, not the rule. The owners of most of these companies you seem to disparage are the stockholders, like me for instance, who is not rich by any stretch of the imagination. The union members are not poor either, making a median income of $47,000 a year.

You mean by doing our best at what we do? Or like the unions do by limiting where people can work (where you have to be a member of the union local in order to work there), requiring all employees to be a member of the union or they can't work there (union shops), or giving preference by length of work rather than ability (seniority rules)?

What you talk about was true a century ago. Today, it's time has passed.

I'm missing where it says the US did anything until well after the Shah was already removed.

Interesting you don't mention how that government came to be in the first place.

By the way, revolutions apparently have nothing to do with treaties signed. Otherwise Russia would not have to follow any the USSR signed. And, as you said, Iran can leave the NNPT any time it wants.

Iran signed 1 July 1968. What was that about a double standard and STFU?

Yes, I have. FOUO and a lot of other useful information is not compartmentalized like you are trying to imply. Secret and Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information is like you describe, but anything below that is NOT in any way shape or form like you describe. FOUO and stuff is the kind that people keep in regular filing cabinets in normal buildings in regular corporate environments.

You want the example for a sensor? Pictures taken by it. You don't need to know the details for it, you only need the results. The capabilities of a sensor are critical, not just how to build it. The capabilities may not be classified, but they can still be FOUO and not for public release. By the way, FOUO is NOT classified, but it still shouldn't be spread around.

When Israel signs the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.

The only foreign policy that would follow from that is roll over and die. So long as we have wars, revolutionaries, and pretty much most of human nature, there is a need to keep secrets and classify information.

Nothing they see even approaches FOUO? They do not see specifications for sensors? Information on equipment? Nothing at all?

Just because you never get near classified material doesn't mean you don't get near material that shouldn't be released. A lot of information is stamped FOUO (For Official Use Only) and enough of that compiled together can equal classified.

That is quite accurate. These sensors also have military applications both for satellites and other reconnaissance systems. Knowing the capabilities of these sensors will give you a floor for determining the capabilities of others.

And if you think it's a Disney story, you'd be just as wrong

Nope. The Bible doesn't says so.

No, I didn't misunderstand. You're just spouting B.S. Commercial Airliners incorporate multiple levels of redundancy to ensure complete electrical failure or hydraulic failure doesn't happen, even if both engines fail. They do, for instance, have auxiliary power units (APUs) that are independent of both engine that provide both power and hydraulics even if both engines fail.

If you want to talk about complete failures, lets see what happens to one of your small aircraft if the cables break that go from the stick to the control surfaces. It's not like that never happens.

That's funny. People have landed a huge commercial jet dead stick before. Nor do they fall out of the sky when something goes wrong unless they lose a wing.

There is that. But from what I've seen, the tax base is sufficiently large most places to make most schools average. The only place I've heard of where the tax base is too small is dying cities such as Detroit. New York City averages out a lot better with both rich and poor in the tax base.
