Well, at least the government isn't forcing you to consume it... yet.

Let me illustrate your point in a hyperbolized (if that's a word) manner: "If it helps stop terrorists from murdering your children, do you believe the NSA should have the ability to monitor electronic communication?"

Didn't someone campaign in 2008 on the idea of transparency and open government? Oh yeah, he was campaigning.

You haven't been reading the comments on /. lately. Google has been getting a ton of flak from the circle jerking nerds.

This is the opposite of Arizona. He's suggesting that Missouri changes to have DST year round, effectively making the state in Eastern time zone with no DST; it is kind of weird. This means that in mid-December it would be getting dark around 6pm, not 4pm.

The national debt is about $16.5 trillion now :( Keep that money printing!

I see nefarious developers for companies with limited oversight pulling an "Office Space" and truncating the remaining pennies rather than rounding up and depositing them into various accounts.
