    Electoral College

    I'll just re-post this since we already had this discussion some time ago: This coutry was founded as a representative republic. In a democracy the wims of the majority trample the rights of a free people over time. The people in each individual state created the federal government for the...

    I guess you don't remember the eight years under Clinton the way I do.

    Peter Schiff Talks to Occupy Wall Street Protesters

    Peter Schiff is an Austrian economics advocate and he recently visited the Occupy Wall Street protest to talk with some of the people there. I think if you take the time to watch the video you will see there is quite a mix of people there. Some are reasoned enough to have a discussion with him...

    This entire discussion is anarchy.

    Commercial Felony Streaming Act S.978

    Actually they allege violation of state wiretap laws in many of the police videotaping cases to make these arrests, not copywrite infringment.

    Why couldn't Anarchy work?

    Taxation assumes enforced political authority otherwise some people won't pay. Nothing you have argued here even fits your own definition.

    Do you understand why I hated to weigh in on this?

    Commercial Felony Streaming Act S.978

    Apologies if I didn't understand what point you were trying to make, it was difficult to parse your statement. Perhaps I misread it. I said nothing about a civil suit in my previous post. Civil and criminal are two different things. This proposed legislation perhaps expands but certainly...

    Why couldn't Anarchy work?

    I almost hate to weigh in on this discussion but unfortunately I feel compelled to do so. If you are going to throw around the term "anarchy" then you have to agree on the definition of that term. One definition taken from Merriam-Webster is this: Then you have to define "government." Here...

    Commercial Felony Streaming Act S.978

    I certainly am concerned there are people who want to have the ability to censor. I really don't think the government would attempt nor does it have the resources available to lock up huge numbers of violators. However, a select few cases with high publicity would be enough to back up threats...

    Yes that was an unintentional mistype on my part. Appologies all.

    Commercial Felony Streaming Act S.978

    A bill (S. 978) sponsored by Senators Amy Klobuchar (D) MN, Chris Coons (D) DE, and John Cornyn (D) TX, would make it a felony punishable by up to five years in jail for streaming copywrited material. Specifically it clearifies the law adding "electronic means" to ways copywrited material can...

    What's Your Fav 99% Sob Story

    Your point is well taken, however, everyone comes to the conclusion at some point in their life that not everything is exactly as they've been told. At this point they can either use that as an excuse or choose to find out things on their own. It's a personal choice and some people don't want...

    What's Your Fav 99% Sob Story

    It seems that it really boils down to one thing. Personal responsability. I heard a lot of people complaining about the stock market crash in 2008. Lots of people lost a lot of money. I did. I had all my money invested in mutual funds. Why? Because I didn't take the time to educate myself...
