The footage was old but they ran it as an ad against the NDAA this week, that was what I gleamed from the article.

That's what a ship is, you know - it's not just a keel and a hull and a deck and sails, that's what a ship needs.

I'm proud of my senators for having half a brain (because that's all it takes to know that this is a bad idea, a whole brain would have been working the aisles to convinced the others to vote no) to vote no on this bill. Obama better not sign it.

I see why people are jumping to conclusions, one has to be prepared for the worst in life. But I agree with Pismo that none of you guys who say you'll leave will actually do it, or at least very few of you. Its easier to talk about leaving than it is to actually leave, where are you going to go? Well you can't go to Europe unless your recent ancestors are from there, you're uniquely talented at something that they are looking for/have a shortage of over there or you marry someone over there. So you'll have to go elsewhere.

I might leave and take New York with me. It's US law, but it will be hard to apply it in nuclear powers outside the united states.

I'm one of the few I guess.

I see more and more expats, more and more people looking for advice from expats on leaving. So yeah, people are jumping ship. They usually aren't on a forum, announcing where they have left to.

Smart people, come to think of it.

I got it from Judge Andrew Napolitano's FB page, if you just want to go there and click "share."

You know what's really ironic ?

With a few minor changes, that is damn near indentically appropriate to the treatment of teens "transferred" to hellcamps.

Again, lemme make this abundantly clear.

THEY DO IT TO THEM, AND IF THEY GET AWAY WITH IT, THEY WILL DO IT TO YOU.

Zero tolerance became the airport shakedown, Cameras became a surveillence society, and now this...
And it gets better - see anyone ELSE standing up against the presence of uniformed officers in schools and the tremendous abuse which has resulted ?

Comin your way, courtest of VIPR, look it up.

Oh, and if yer gonna STOP fighting the moment your own ass is clear, like the pilots union did ?
Get off my side, I've no use for you.

The question, Frem, is what can we do about it at this stage?

The pilots union was a stunt.


But Frem, I think you've hit on something brilliant here: Kids are the guinea pigs for the society we live in. If they do it to kids, they find out the emotional reactions, and how to manipulate them, and they prepare us for encountering and accepting similar things in later life.

This means that the end goal of society is the public school system. We're all locked in the buildings we work in, and authority figures patrol the halls, ask workers to rat on each other, and we have to ask permission to use the bathroom. As I write this I realize that most of it is already reality.

Okay, so logically, if we want to reverse it, we start with schools, building up different expectations.

I remember as a home schooler hearing kids talk about work and careers as if this would be a grand and glorious thing to evolve into, and then when I got there is sucked majorly. Now I work for myself, because I really have no tolerance for the trappings of a job, being in a building all day with a boss breathing down my neck, but now I see that if I had been in school, I would be, if not used to it, I would have at least come to expect it as part of life.

I think you have an excellent start to a revolution there.
