This will be the new government line: "Some packets are more equal than others."

Let it be remembered that the day the internet died, it was to the majority of Slashdot applauding. You just let the only entity more corrupt than the telecommunications companies take over the internet.
Joy.

LFTR.

Oh, are we just complaining and preaching here? Then never-mind that answer.

The AGW argument is dead. Perhaps efforts should now go into things that 90% of the population can get behind. Clean air, water, soil and food are great places to start. Perhaps real energy solutions like a Thorium reactor (fueled by the giant radioactive ‘waste’ piles created when mining rare earth metals for solar panels and wind turbines) should get serious consideration. The amount of energy people have access to directly correlates to the standard of living.

It’s all about energy density and we need to make that next step. Holding people back will never happen so why not just move on?

Yeah, that would go over well.
Instead of trying to control every action every individual takes why not just make them responsible? Governments need to stop subsidizing having children, amongst just about everything else. Problem solved.

Bill Clinton passed on Bin Laden after the first trade center attacks.(after 4 years you wont blame Obama, but less than a year for Bush and blame blame blame).
Obama re-signed the Patriot Act and the NDAA.
Obama has deficit spent at twice the rate of GWB.
The 2008 economic decline was from......the housing bust. Government mandating home loans be provided to people who couldn't pay them back.


There is a lot of blame for both parties, but only one place where both those parties cause most of the trouble. =====>DC

So you don't support internet freedom, language mostly taken from Libertarian Ron Paul, because of language you disagree with that is actually NOT part of the platform?

The platform is against the internet being co-opted into a central regulatory body.

Your point of view typically comes from the extreme left wing which is responsible for hundreds of millions of deaths. You have those like Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Hitler, Mussolini, etc., etc. who not only have war time body counts, but much of the count comes from 'peace time' genocide of undesirables in the population.

Largest stimulus in the history of mankind just wasn't big enough, or big fat old fail?

To put it in perspective the alien 'transport' device in Contact was around a trillion dollars and was a multi-country endeavor. It was the cause of much angst because of the massive price tag.

Another way to look at it is that every single family home in the US could have had a solar power system installed for a trillion dollars.

I understand your point, but how do you get past the part where you are ending the life of an otherwise innocent human?

Adequate social welfare structure exists. 100 million Americans are on some kind of welfare, so social 'safety nets' abound.

Some people don't think it is okay to kill another human being. Some think it's okay to kill a baby even after it's born for up to two weeks.

The argument comes down to: do both humans have rights and if so how can they co-exist?

Well conservatives generally think that you should be responsible for your own choices. There are plenty of children who are neglected or abandoned of all ages, I suppose we should dispose of them as well?

Well, when the Muslim Brotherhood blows up the pyramids I guess we want to make sure they get all of them.

Depending on the reason for the backup wouldn't it be easier to use a tape backup?

Unlimited data was grandfathered in my plan, but Verizon decided if you upgrade to the next gen wireless you loose that. So I get unlimited use of that witch I do not use much and limited use of that which I use a lot. Bravo!
