"The yapping of national security conservatives, whether self-identified as Republicans or Democrats, obscures the truth when they denigrate Edward Snowden’s flight to Hong Kong and subsequent attempts at whistleblowing.
The truth is this:  Others before Snowden tried to go through so-called chain of command or proper channels to complain about the National Security Agency’s domestic spying, or to refuse the NSA’s efforts to co-opt them or their business. These efforts did not work."

depends upon the metrics you are using , vietnam , north korea , afghanistan , russia, cuba  "beat" the US  .  However I dun see boatloads of people trying too enter those countries illegally , quite the opposite in fact .

The price of beating the US is a brutal regime that murders far more of its own countrymen , then the US ever did or will  sans useage of CBN weapons .

enjoy the victry in your decaying barren wastelands full of carnage and mutant zombie camel humpers .   meanwhile the lights are still on in america and mcdonalds is open  >:D

Financial News / Re: Bailout Recipients

From my perspective, I agree that something doesn't look right.  As mentioned, I'm having a difficult time comprehending the numbers.  The detail view, provided as a link, may lead to greater comprehension or more confusion. 

I recall a video of some Goldman-Sachs news shill approaching a young man at one of the Occupy episodes.  In a mocking voice she asked the young man, "Did you know that all the (bailout) money was paid back?"  I could not have answered the sarcastic question with a simplistic "yes" or "no."  I would have said that movement of trillions of dollars is quite different than my credit contract for a new freezer.

Should "revolt" be possible, it could at least succeed in dismantling the economic paradigm, and this slowing ecological devastation.  Again, so long as people first grasped that booming economies are built on a dying earth.

Great points, Dignity.   Generally people revolt to replace the gov't.  They get the same thing in different window-dressing.  But I'll settle for slowing ecological devastation.  Not holding my breath, though.

Thanks Abha!

Thankfully I do have access to some organically grown items in our area. Of course its often very seasonal in availability. I get organic beef, lamb and turkey from my neighbour and have my own eggs. Plus whatever my garden produces.

Start the torrent download. So what if season 2 takes a week. You can start downloading season 3 as soon as start watching season 2 so there will be no interruption.

Of course, after that you will have to suffer through the DTs for a goddamn year like the rest of us waiting for season 4.... ;D
