Fractured Faerie Tales indeed.

Where are Boris and Natasha?

The unibomber's stuff was much more explosive ... than an NSA Snow(den) job.

I wonder if it will be written in German or Russian...or in prison English.

Perhaps a Truthfesteroo with Pussy Riot and Assange and (Ms.) Bradley Manning would be a fun......overseas, that is.

I'm glad they spoke out, but it sure sucks to be them right now. Its sucks for a lot of folks right now. So let's Truthfesteroo!

Yeah. Its fairly obtuse information, nevertheless, its often overlooked. Nothing is ideal, or even close, but how we all deal with one another is more important than any particular set of rules. Our principles must apply to our choices. We uphold values - not doctrine, else we miss the point. A Bible, a Constitution, or a Policy is only as good or effective as the people who engage in it. Our values can be reflected in coping with any particular system. A golden age can emerge from anywhere, if we just cooperate.

I agree.

I was actually quoting the statement from further up the thread, but I lost the 'quote' tag.
Now I'm on the blacklist because of a typo.
I might as well learn to speak Russian.

Move further from the poles...daylight duration varies with the longitude, most of all.

...They already know what you think.

Bingo.

Actually I am for anything that works. Anything goes as long as its not tossing folks off of the boat or enslaving the crew. Capitalism seems to work as well as anything else, when implemented fairly. Only people can make it work or make it fail, whatever the ideology.

It totally sucks. People are being subjected to all sorts of crap. And it is entirely unnecessary. Just because we're coping with reality, that's no excuse to behave like jerks. The golden rule works better than genocide. Some are just slow learners.

You must have been paying attention. Don't confuse the argument with facts. Its just not fair.

Or as H.S.Thompson would paraphrase Nixon in 'Where the Buffalo Roam': "The doomed....I hate the doomed"

But I agree with you.

Its sink or swim for ALL of us on this ship of fools. If anyone thinks that other people deserve to be tossed off of the boat into the abyss, they are free to volunteer themselves to that cause. As for the rest of us, lets all coexist as golden rulers. And that starts with helping each other. Even the doomed. Even Nixon.

Communism can only be imposed by force and mass murder, because it's so completely incompatible with human nature.

People are incompatible with human nature.

Oh shit! We're all gonna die!

ALL of us, even them!

Now what should we do ?

(a) Draw straws and see who dies first?
(b) Read Lord of the Flies?
(c) Plan your retirement?
(d) Kill mutants?
(e) Burma Shave

That's what I was thinking at the last Grateful Dead concert I attended. Trippy green glowing helmets can be distracting during flight!

Clearly, he's doing it to confound you.
