All that's required to get a degree in "economics" is to parrot the opinions of the professors. It's disguised with a little math and frills. But it's all "book-learning", nothing like the education of having sweated in the sun and created material goods with your own labor.

And fraternities are to form mutual-aid societies that will later greatly ease, if not outright give, entry into the ruling class. Those silly -- and always homoerotic -- initiations are an insidious way to force submission to the group. If you've bent over to be paddled then you gave up individual will in order to be accepted as loyal member of a gang. It's the same indoctrination as militaries do in boot camp, only worse. -- And of course those arrogant kids believe themselves to be above such manipulation, that's why they fall for it, every damn one of 'em.]]> http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130517/18345423136/doj-dept-education-to-colleges-start-restricting-free-speech-campus-kiss-your-federal-funding-goodbye.shtml#c297 Tue, 21 May 2013 08:16:44 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130517/18345423136/doj-dept-education-to-colleges-start-restricting-free-speech-campus-kiss-your-federal-funding-goodbye.shtml#c297 http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130517/18345423136/doj-dept-education-to-colleges-start-restricting-free-speech-campus-kiss-your-federal-funding-goodbye.shtml#c291 Tue, 21 May 2013 08:16:01 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130517/18345423136/doj-dept-education-to-colleges-start-restricting-free-speech-campus-kiss-your-federal-funding-goodbye.shtml#c291 http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130517/18345423136/doj-dept-education-to-colleges-start-restricting-free-speech-campus-kiss-your-federal-funding-goodbye.shtml#c272 Tue, 21 May 2013 08:15:01 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130517/18345423136/doj-dept-education-to-colleges-start-restricting-free-speech-campus-kiss-your-federal-funding-goodbye.shtml#c272 http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130517/18345423136/doj-dept-education-to-colleges-start-restricting-free-speech-campus-kiss-your-federal-funding-goodbye.shtml#c266 Tue, 21 May 2013 08:14:29 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130517/18345423136/doj-dept-education-to-colleges-start-restricting-free-speech-campus-kiss-your-federal-funding-goodbye.shtml#c266 http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130517/13573923121/retired-lt-col-violent-media-has-bred-generation-killers.shtml#c463 Tue, 21 May 2013 08:14:26 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130517/13573923121/retired-lt-col-violent-media-has-bred-generation-killers.shtml#c463
Seriously?

The fictional justification for the invasion was the claimed existence of the non existent WMD, so what does them not having them over 6 years prior to the invasion have to do with anything?]]> http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130517/09430123119/eu-commission-sued-refusing-to-reveal-trade-agreement-documents-they-shared-with-lobbyists.shtml#c291 Tue, 21 May 2013 08:14:10 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130517/09430123119/eu-commission-sued-refusing-to-reveal-trade-agreement-documents-they-shared-with-lobbyists.shtml#c291 http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130520/11200723149/war-journalists-doj-claimed-fox-news-reporter-was-aider-abettor-co-conspirator-with-leaker.shtml#c1171 Tue, 21 May 2013 08:13:48 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130520/11200723149/war-journalists-doj-claimed-fox-news-reporter-was-aider-abettor-co-conspirator-with-leaker.shtml#c1171
yes, if by "same thing" you mean committing a crime.. yes they are both the same thing, in that they are both "committing a crime".. right!]]> http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130517/13573923121/retired-lt-col-violent-media-has-bred-generation-killers.shtml#c444 Tue, 21 May 2013 08:12:42 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130517/13573923121/retired-lt-col-violent-media-has-bred-generation-killers.shtml#c444 Tim says it like it's a noble stance but the anti ip attitude of the techdirt "crew" is always against profit, at least of the created by forced IP rights kind.


If your marketing strategy involves the use of any kind of "force", then maybe your doing it wrong.

See, for instance, Dr. Phil being unable to even refer you to a specialist because he's not licensed and so you can't see a specialist without first going to a licensed generalist. You can't even see a physical therapist without first getting a referral by a general practitioner and when your physical therapy session is up and you want to see the physical therapist again you must get another referral and pay even more money.

Lets not forget the fact that, here in the U.S., most everything is under prescription and so you need a prescription for so many drugs that are over the counter in other countries. This makes access to basic medications much more expensive.]]> http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130517/08324323118/trade-group-representing-many-large-companies-claims-that-exceptions-blind-would-cast-aside-copyright.shtml#c1493 Tue, 21 May 2013 08:09:00 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130517/08324323118/trade-group-representing-many-large-companies-claims-that-exceptions-blind-would-cast-aside-copyright.shtml#c1493

The FEW NON-INFRINGING bits of content on those pirate sites, where the only real draw is infringed content, will just have to suffer by association with the odious and morally objectionable way those sites GRIFT off creators. Too bad. Associate with **AA Agencies and decent people will shun you.

Besides that, whatta ya mean BOGUS? They took down the content that they didn't own, right? That's effective enough censorship, what else do they need to do.

Advocating for known criminals (**AA Executives) and criminality (illegally filed DMCA notices) is dicey at best. You can have your free speech, but the NON-criminals (you know the actual public that the law is supposed to be serving?) do get to push back. I don't consider this bad, and even has a funny aspect: Whats'a matter **AA Agencies? Can't ya take a joke when aimed at you?]]> http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130517/18345423136/doj-dept-education-to-colleges-start-restricting-free-speech-campus-kiss-your-federal-funding-goodbye.shtml#c229 Tue, 21 May 2013 08:07:16 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130517/18345423136/doj-dept-education-to-colleges-start-restricting-free-speech-campus-kiss-your-federal-funding-goodbye.shtml#c229 http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130517/18345423136/doj-dept-education-to-colleges-start-restricting-free-speech-campus-kiss-your-federal-funding-goodbye.shtml#c213 Tue, 21 May 2013 08:06:32 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130517/18345423136/doj-dept-education-to-colleges-start-restricting-free-speech-campus-kiss-your-federal-funding-goodbye.shtml#c213 http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130519/19190923142/if-youre-going-to-illegally-seize-citizens-cell-phones-least-make-sure-youre-grabbing-right-ones.shtml#c12 Tue, 21 May 2013 08:06:30 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130519/19190923142/if-youre-going-to-illegally-seize-citizens-cell-phones-least-make-sure-youre-grabbing-right-ones.shtml#c12
F. That.

The only way to fight back against abuse of power in America is documenting it. Pervasive surveillance of Big Brother.
