its like putting a student driver behind the wheel of a bus..yeah he has an instructor next to him— but do we really want a couple hundred peoples lives at stake during the training?

Shouldnt it be law that passengers have FULL disclosure prior to entering the plane as to whether their "pilot" is still in training?

..and if they just SOLD their data to the NSA, then they would make even more...

oops— didnt read requirement of sci-fi.. fantasy... sorry.

That pic of the industrial plant puffing out a smoke cloud from its smoke stack is nothing when compared to the arsenal of chemical trails that line the sky on an almost daily basis (at least right before every front coming in with rain) in every significant MSA— and expand ever slowly to envelope the atmosphere in a…

Its a lot harder to take all your property if its legal. Keeping it illegal keeps cops (and courts, judges, bailiffs, secretaries, reporters, probation officers, jails, suppliers, manufacturers, uniform companies, lawyers, furniture makers, etc. etc..) in business... Gangs dont sell beer or vodka..they traffic in…

or brownies... yum.

"Desal requires a lot of energy and the process itself is expensive.." <—Add, "with todays technology..." Once you begin to use nano tech and sound waves to purify water... now you're talking... that is the latest wave of water purification.. Its coming soon... patents already filed on the process/tech.

If angels were in charge, we would have nothing to worry about, and the ideal scenario you have mentioned is just fine.

aha, Eric Blair rises from the dead...sans the nom plume

Global warming doesnt work when verified temperature across the planet show global cooling... Thus the change from "warming' to "change"...it covers both ends... and thus any "change" in weather that seems out of sorts or deviates from the "norm" or "average" can be blamed on humans... weather reports are more…

just the natural warm up from the last ice age... nothing to see here folks... the SUN is the biggest climate changer... we go through cycles, hot and cold.. anthropogenic "warming" is virtually non-detectable relative to solar cycles...

I can easily defeat this malware by simply putting Vanilla Ice's "Ice Ice baby" on a loop— everytime I use my computer... No malware that uses sound as a mechanism for communication can thwart the awesomeness of that song... its really impenetrable.

The contents will be some CASH... and a note that reads"...and have some REAL dollars— because word is, they are entertaining the creation of a dreaded central bank —although they meet in secret— that will use fiat currency to buy every dream with a promise and facilitate deficit spending as the norm by the charlatans…

I saw batman... look again.
