Two can play at this word game. Here's my comment to Obummer:
Notwithstanding the fact that you not calling the NSA a domestic surveillance program could conceivably encompass certain concomitant benefits of a marginal and peripheral relevance, there is a countervailing consideration of infinitely superior magnitude involving your personal complicity and corroborative malfeasance, with a consequence that the taint and stigma of your former associations and diversions have irredeemably and irretrievably invalidated your position and hopefully will culminate in public revelations and recriminations of your profoundly embarrassing and ultimately indefensible character.
First we get word of the IRS targeting conservitive groups. Now we have them information laundering. And from what I've read they are going to be involved in ObamaCare.
God bless the USA. God help the USA.
Last week my wife had the TV channel set to Animal Planet and they were discussing the mating habits of turtles. My wife runs a daycare and so young children got to learn that male turtles have a penis. I'm sure that the parents of those children in my wife's day care had they known that such indecency was being viewed by their young impressionable children that my wife would be locked up for child endangerment. Let’s hope the PTC doesn’t get word of this program since it plays in the afternoons. These self appointed moral guardians need to go [NSA/PTC redacted]
This whole overclassification thing leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I consider myself a student of history and still remember Nixon claiming that recorded conversations at the White House could not be revealed because it would threaten the nation's security.
Congress has always had this disorder. The logic goes like this: We need someone to scapegoat for the problems but at the same time we need to fix the problems that our scapegoat revealed.
Yep, politics as usual.
1) A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
2) A robot must obey the orders given to it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3) A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
I guess even Asimov's laws of Robotics will not save us from the FBI.
that is was a CNN journalist that broke this news. My wife loves CNN and it is on in my house nearly 24/7. Which means I spend a good amout of my time yelling at my TV. I can't stand the drivel that comes out of the talking heads of the corporate and government sponsored journalists and CNN has become one of the worst.
I mean: with the Chinese built Internet filtering in place in the UK, I'm sure all mean and offensive statements would have been scrubbed clean before even making it to the FaceBook servers and a life would have been saved.
Least Untruthful Answer: Being econmical with the truth. FISA Court: Oversight. Patriot Act: Our justification and authority to store all relevant data that protects you from terrorists and the boogyman. Mark Udall (D-Colo) and/or Ron Wyden (D-Ore): Assholes that simply do not understand the need for our programs. GCHQ: See, other democratic countries do what we do. What’s the big deal? Legal: Whatever we decide would look like we are doing to prevent terrorism, child abuse and warts. Senate Intelligence Committee: This is the committee that we give the least untruthful answers to when they ask about our programs. Edward Snowden: Satan.
George Orwell's 1985, and that error was just the prediction of what year this kind of crap would be widespread. What a depressing book. What a depressing era we live in.
And that is why this will not work. A unanimous front of ISPs will never occur.
It will need to be enough of the public that doesn't want to be babysat by their government to rally against this stupidity. However this will not occur either because the Internet filtering is being hidden behind the banner of it's for the children!! What citizen wants to look like a jackass for not wanting to protect the children?
