  on Lawyer Who Gave President Bush Legal Cover For Warrantless Wiretapping Now Claims We'll Come To Love An Intrusive NSA
  ::waves watch::
  
  You WILL love the NSA. You WILL love the NSA. You HATE your privacy. Privacy leads to EVIL. You WILL love the NSA. You will LOVE the NSA. You no longer need your parents. You only need a nanny state. We are your parents now. We are your parents now.
  
  Now lay back, this will only hurt a bit, and the frontal lobe of your brain is vestigial in 2013 anyway...

  A good reason to always take your License photo clean shaven... and then always have a beard.
  
  
  Beards are like natural masks or... beards, if you will.

  Intentions

  on Arresting People Associated With Anonymous Unlikely To Have The Impact The Feds Expect
  "but I prefer that the focus be on actually getting to the root of the problem, rather than trying to attack the symptoms in a way that makes the cause grow bigger."
  
  
  And what would the root of the problem be?
  
  Once you've got that... what do you think Anon's intentions are?
  
  You might find that the two are very similar.

  Re: Re: Not NBC Universal

  on Why Is The Federal Government Running Ads Secretly Created & Owned By NBC Universal?
  As others have said, they only sold just enough of it not to be the 'majority owner' on paper... can't be tooooo obvious about your blatant manipulation of the American consumer.

  Not NBC Universal

  on Why Is The Federal Government Running Ads Secretly Created & Owned By NBC Universal?
  What you mean, Mike, is why is the US Government running ads for General Electric, the owners of NBC Universal?
  
  The only reason I know that is because I've researched heavily into the near media blackout of the Fukushima crisis... GE being the makers and designers of those failed reactors.... and was lead to GE's ownership of NBC Universal.
  
  What has happened here in the modern era of corporatism is that Vertical Integration has gone well beyond Carnegie's days of raw materials/production/transport/supply...
  
  Vertical Integration in 2011 means owning every step from creation to consumption AND owning the media that the consumers learn from, reinforcing your brand at every turn and making the bad news related to you simply disappear.
  
  Downright diabolical.

  You go old people, lay the wisdom on us

  on Should Young People Have Their Votes Count More?
  http://blueollie.files.wordpress.com/2011/04/medicare.jpg
  
  The youth are obviously so terribly confused.
  
  Or... perhaps they're just completely disenfranchised by the incompetence and corruption so entrenched in a system that completely disdains them, their ideas, and their opinions.
  
  Go ahead old folks - keep legislating your bigotry, your unwinnable wars, and your trickle-down economics.
  
  We root for the day that you die.

  Experience? YOU CALL THIS EXPERIENCE?!

  on Should Young People Have Their Votes Count More?
  If experience is what gets you into two unfunded wars in one decade...
  
  If experience is what gets you a collapsing dollar, industry regulating themselves, and an our of control military-industrial complex...
  
  If experience is what has legislated this country into incarcerating more of its citizens than any other place on Earth...
  
  If experience means War is Peace, institutes the Ministry of Truth, and destroys one's respect for the Constitution...
  
  Then I'll be sure to drive into a bridge abutment before I hit 30.
  
  Arrogance of YOUTH?!
  
  TRY ARROGANCE OF EXPERIENCE!

  on Whether You're BP Or A Petty Criminal, Photoshopping Yourself To Look Sympathetic Probably Isn't Wise
  Aren't they?
  
  Petty criminals perform petty crimes... like dispensing falsified photos.
  
  Does being a true felon trump the title of petty criminal? I suppose it might. But then, it might not.
  
  And yes, I'm on crack.
