I am watching House of Cards on Netflix at the moment. Have seen just 2 episodes but it seems to have captured the corruption, double dealing and sleaze of DC perfectly.
What I hate is that there is plenty of debate and discussion on how to reduce public and private debt but virtually nothing on why there is so much debt in the first place. We are treating the symptoms and doing nothing about the disease leaving us doomed to repeat this cursed cycle forever.
Under the current monetary system, with the way money is created, the only way to introduce more money into the economy is to add more debt. This is why, despite public spending cuts, government borrowing is still too high. We need fundamental and radical reform of the banking and monetary systems or things can only get worse.
We need to remove the power of money creation from the banks and re-nationalise it.
What does Microsoft have to do with the threat of hacking (or lack thereof)? Even if the threat is as high as government claims, it is not up to MS to secure networks, it is up to network administrators. Supposed unneeded features or lock ins are irrelevant.
I am no MS fan (Linux FTW) but your rant is, as usual, nonsensical.
This is not about enforcing copyright. This is about preventing the world's poorest people gaining equal access to information so they can better themselves and improve their quality of life. This is about the selfish and socially destructive sense of entitlement that has become a cancer in the Western world where we (by we, I mean society) believe their should be a monopoly on information.
David Cameron vowed that the NHS was safe in his hands. Now, public confidence has plummeted and the privatisation has begun. You cannot believe a word that comes from our leaders.
