  Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Free press

  its actually at the neutrino level and the fundamental flaw in science but nevertheless pertinent to the discussion as a starting point but the reaction & solution to the "cops have rights" is also fundamentally flawed. How? you might ask. It's simple really; rights are made up.

  Re:

  Is it just me or in light of this why doesn't the google team invest in tech like stumbleUpon that or buy it up. It's one of the few (/sarc) situations where mother of all invention comes to roost.

  Re: banned is the goal

  Agreed, the great driving force is as Picasso said:
  
  "I do things I can not do, simply to learn how to do them."
  
  If nobody dares to cross the arbitrary line it will be a sad, boring and ugly world.

  Sell everything by FUD and you have... ah yes a system that perpetuates it.
  
  Rights to create
  Innovate
  system is moving regulate
  Copyright
  system is moving regulate
  monopolize
  system is moving regulate
  
  see a pattern?
  Ask the more important question.. who has the most to gain.

  Laughable?

  Yeah it backfired badly but this increasingly becoming the standard operating procedure for propaganda campaigns. Cant make it settle? Go for in your face!

  Re: Re: Is Reddit and 4chan the a model for a new form of "Investigative News"?

  [citations needed] I hate to say it, but it is classic TD operating procedure.
  
  If you have examples of the contra indications feel free to point them out and let us discuss them. It becomes a logic error when Axioms and Dogma become standard operating procedure. We know its not a black and white world but we can at the very least use civility to find the common denominator of a solution. Even if it is hard to find one.

  Another case of some rights or infinite rights. Citation: George Carlin on Rights and Privileges. Even execs love to challenge the system, IMO its healthy to think about what nobody has before.

  Was the first thing to come to mind on this story. Your article is food for thought Mike but this maybe historically significant to it.

  Ok I guess I have to say it. Welcome to one of the most obvious scam on the net today. I think AOL may have invented it (citation needed) but certifiably have the most innovation in the field. My parents still use it for my nephew .... hmm introspection of the day. lol.

  Vison for the future?

  I'm wondering if the next presidential race is going to be on a platform of a war on the internet. They'll of course use a PC word (aka Net neutrality). And in true Orwellian fashion we'll believe both Net neutrality and protection from net threats are one truth... or I mean bill.

  Wishing well

  Care full for what you wish for.
  
  If you missed it its more open government. I think the trickle from the faucet of control is finnally busted and quite literaly drowning us. The intended effect is to drown us out and yet... it seems were actually looking at the plumbing. The starting effect from the internment camps of Jap-Ameri's to TSA.
  
  And now they just don't care anymore about what they say because apparently there's water in our ears. Explains why Obamavision exist.. what is it now? 30 times as much air time as any other president?
  
  Anybody have any more articles that have the theme of getting what we wished for?

  Yeah we hardly need to think and when we can use faith to believe both black and white are the only two.
  
  Gets extremely hard when you realize the urine on your face is from the wind of
  rights are made up!
  
  Privileges are all you got, don't take my word for it ask the 110,000 Japanese-Americans.
