Interested in many things

GM all on this perfect day to enjoy life and create new effective ways to monkeywrench the gears of totalitarianism!

Hell no I don’t agree and refuse to endorse or comply or facilitate compliance with that horseshit!

Oh! Pardon me. I shouldn’t have written “horseshit.” Horseshit is useful when turned into compost for mushroom growing. What I should have written is “bullshit.” That better characterizes Gates’ oligarchic delusions and is not useful for growing mushrooms.

I understand your point and agree it has merit. But incentives for publicizing creativity and investing the time and work to create are helpful to those who cannot create in any given category of work and yet benefit from access to what is created.

There may be better ways to provide the incentives but the temporary monopolies of IP might actual speed rather than hinder innovation . It might also be different with respect to individual versus corporate or government innovators.

Keep going with the artistic photography! Thanks for the zap for the honest encouragement. 🙂

The propaganda is constructed from partial truth and/or facts that are related but not essential to understanding the details. Platitudes and sacred cows are frequently interwoven. Of course the objective is to mislead, not to educate or enlighten.

Propaganda promotes “the lie” and seeks to motivate either complacency/compliance or action in the best interest of the propagandist among the largest numbers of people possible.

Delivery via a father figure, revered personality, or reasonably hot chick adds frosting to the cake.

GM to all (despite the absence of news of putin’s long overdue death). May the joys of the new day far outweigh its sorrows!

You might not. Feeling old starts in your head more often than in the rest of your body.

I should clarify that the robbery is by the criminal organization and the cunning evasion is by the individual would-be victim.

Is there really such a thing as tax fraud or is that a term of propaganda used by the government to describe cunning evasion of robbery and theft by a criminal organization?

So much for the principles and philosophy that inspired the writing and adoption of the 1st Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. And, so much for any semblance of rationality to the notion that individuals should trust or respect any government.
