I guess the obvious difference for all your straw man alternate spending programs; nuclear and other green power, medical research, roads, bridges are... there are tangible benefits for society. Do remember we have anti-trust laws that used to breakup business that became so large that they stifled competition and innovation. Your classic "But what-about" argument is silly.

In a complete topic hijack, I ask; Which problem are you solving by repealing the 17'th amendment, and what do you expect the result to be? Asked entirely without snark or commentary.

I bet you do other stuff good two

A non sequitur (English: /nn skwtr/ non SEK-wit-r, Classical Latin: [non sktr]; "[it] does not follow") is a conversational literary device, often used for comedic purposes. It is something said that, because of its apparent lack of meaning relative to what preceded it,[1] seems absurd to the point of being humorous or confusing.

Nope. Not a religion. It is actually science. This means it is based on evidence, and it evolves the predictions based on new evidence as it become available. Science it pretty cool, you should look into it; it's good for more than just making bombs n bigger TVs n stuff. Brondo! it's got 'lectolytes n stuff that plants need!

It may be VALUED at $20 Billion .... but is it WORTH that? Somehow I doubt it, VA Linux indeed.

Of course its wrong, the correct answer is of course to run OpenBSD.

I buy DVD's and BlueRays. I like to own the "Right to Use" the content. I like not to have to rely on a given provider to have a contract to to stream content in order to be able to watch to something. I will watch some shows and movies multiple times. So for a certain core set up media I want to own the media. All that crufty back catalogue of movies and shows that is no longer available on streaming services, mine to see at any time of my choosing. I even ( GASP ) buy actual books from time to time, it seems as though there is SOME content not yet kindlified, that may in fact never be on those platforms. The streaming / sharing / caring economy will eventually strip you of any remaining un-curated choice in what you read, watch, or listen to. Seems as though there is some music not published the day before yesterday thats worth listening to. So yes I own many hundreds of CD's as well.

Exactly the point I was making. You have a right to drive ( this is actually a privilege, not a right ) . Doing so on public streets will expose you to scrutiny, sometimes you may be found to be dangerous. This is why we have police patrolling not simply waiting in a depot to be dispatched.

This is the online equivalent of driving a patrol car around watching for people that need to be spoken to. People driving weaving back and forth in a lane are exercising their rights. When stopped, they are sometime found to be DUI. People often post things on Facebook that are the equivalent of "Lets go do some crimes". Post publicly ... walk down the street ... uh what exactly is the difference?

I think this is called a straw man. You are a wounded victim because we all call you a racists for disagreeing with the President. When in fact it's most just calling you a putz for disagreeing with things that make sense. No one calls dissent racist, but we do some times call racists racists. You are the one conflating them.

Whats your age? Your Birthday? Martital Status? Names of any children you might have .... You sort of live in the public's eye, but not really. I know you are a work in tech, but try to pretend to have some empathy for a moment. * Purely a rhetorical device, no one wants to stalk you.
