How utterly ridiculous this is... I can't wait when an independent panel (who apparently has to be run by a, "Person of Interest"--some elite hidden issues force, that has no way to be undercut by corruption--hahahahahaha) is created who will be using advanced PET scanning technology to select all police officers for active for duty, they'll find out all the good ol'boys are KKK members or sociopaths/psychopaths. Either it will help out a bit or more than likely become corrupted and allow them to pick EXACTLY who they want--which is even more terrifying. They already use the stupid lie detector for certain areas, so I expect to see this soon on the federal level (hell, if not already).
Is there ANY way they can take this to the federal level if there are signs of corruption? I know there isn't most likely, but when a potential crime like this is so utterly swiped clean off the slate what the hell are you supposed to do. I've personally known someone in a small town that had all their life's possessions, everything they had ever bought, owned, or saved taken away from them and not ONE person lifted a finger (I'll have to find the exact city name again, but it was in Nevada--through a business that was protected by the local police and city officials, including defending city attorneys as well--higher level police through Las Vegas said he was SOL and it was out of their jurisdiction, who TF do they think they are kidding...) This is CRAZY! Who is Zimmerman exactly to have the police put their ass on the line like this, what are we missing?
Zimmerman will get assassinated if he sees no trial mark my words.


Yeah these are the situations that cause riots when you have blatant injustice such as this. I'm just surprised this isn't getting more attention. I've only heard about it on the internet.

If you ask a conservative or liberal or left libertarian or right libertarian, they will all tell you they overwhelmingly support small business. The doctrines of these respective factions are also supportive of small business. If you could force our elected officials to all take lie detector tests, I'm certain that almost all of them support small business in their hearts too.

So, if everyone supports small business, then why does government seem to be a never ending stream of corporate wars, no bid contracts, bailouts, austerity, corporate tax giveaways and subsidies? If everyone supports the little guy, then why does he always get fucked over in favor of big money?

Because multinational corporations hold our government's balls (and ovaries) in a financial vice. Because multinational corporations fund our elections and control our media.

Step out of line and you find yourself with no election funds or bad press or a sex scandal or a real estate scandal, or perhaps a faulty engine on your campaign leer jet. Any dirt you may have on you in life is sitting in a filing cabinet, waiting for the day you fuck up, at which point you are booted from office and humiliated in front of friends, family, colleagues and constituents.

Time and again we see idealistic politicians full of hope and promises become corporate lackeys after they are sworn in. Does this have to happen to Ron Paul too before market libertarians figure out that our campaign finance system is fatally flawed? It's funny to see all of these anti-democracy, anti-two party system market libertarians all of a sudden hyping on a Republican candidate for the 2012 elections. It's funny because you seem to believe we live in a democracy - which you supposedly hate.

It's not the people. it's not the ideology. It's not even the politicians. It's the system. The system is fucked. There is no hope for the kind of serious change we need in this country until we unfuck it. And for it to be unfucked, we the people need to do it for ourselves. We can't sit around waiting for political surrogates to do this work for us. We need to demand it in large numbers, and to strike and protest for as long as it takes until it gets done.

And time is running out. The deficit grows. The temperature of the globe rises. Our jobs are being shipped off to the 3rd world. Our money is being shipped off to Caribbean tax shelters. We need to act soon. At some point it will be too late.

The American "right" doesn't like small government. It's a talking point, yes. But never is it put into practice.

@hpqp

Totally agree with you about the definitions being different, but in this interview on The Globe and Mail he seems to be saying that he means "determine" and not "analyze."

Imagine how our view of the human condition would change if we ever found a cure for racism, xenophobia and other forms of bigotry. What if there were perfectly safe ways to increase feelings of compassion and altruism? I think interventions of this sort – pharmacological and otherwise – are probably in our future. Neuro-imaging technology could also change our lives profoundly. We will probably develop reliable lie detectors, so that when the truth really matters, it will be impossible for a person to lie. This will change politics and diplomacy rather profoundly. There is no telling how developments of this kind could put pressure on popular beliefs.

It sounds like he's advocating a world where science has determined without a doubt "the answer" to moral questions and the state is forcefully re-educating those whose actions are determined not to be "maximizing well-being." I have no trouble with science analyzing moral questions, but I have a big problem with someone claiming that the results of some experiments should determine our individual choices--or even remove our individual choice entirely.
