'Get out': Over 1,000 take to the streets in China to protest oil refinery
Thu May 16, 2013
- It's actually interesting to watch China evolve and we see the beginnings of a civil society. It's also a dangerous time as you don't know exactly what they will develop into or what detours they take along the way. England even had brutal and authoritarian governments on it's way to what it is now. …
Big Brother may not be watching, but your employer probably is
Thu May 16, 2013
- I've always been in awe of how paranoid we Americans are about the government while letting corporations get away with much worse. They lie, cheat, steal, spy on you, track you, sell your information, try to bamboozle you into doing what they want. They work shamelessly and almost openly... and now …

Tue May 14, 2013
- Well, until recently, we didn't know for sure how common planets are, we just had theories.
2,300-year-old Maya pyramid bulldozed for Belize road project

- It's sad and they should be protected but it's also understandable. When you're poor and need building materials it's very tempting to grab conveniently located already-made building materials. People forget that much of the ancient city of Rome was dismantled during the Middle Ages to be used to bu …
'Spirit of the Cold War': Russia says US diplomat was trying to recruit for CIA
Tue May 14, 2013
- Exactly. This is not shocking news: Everyone spies on everyone else - even our allies spy on us and we on them (remember incidents with Britain and Israel?). Russia's just trying to get some political mileage off of this for some reason.

Thu May 9, 2013
- Exactly BacktoBasics! These are the kinds of things that need to be worked out before we can venture out further to places to Mars. Another area is medical emergencies.
Sick but pinched: Prescription drug spending down, report finds
Thu May 9, 2013
- Fenwick, Obamacare - which hasn't even really fully taken effect AND which was greatly whittled down due to corporate med lobbying is trying to fix this. This issue is where we were going "in a handbasket" due to unfettered markets where life goes to the highest bidder.
Will Barnes & Noble be unloading Nook? Wall Street bets yes
Thu May 9, 2013
- For owners of the HD and HD+, not too much. In fact I think the access to the Google Play store makes the device more useful. I'm more concerned about the e-book readers (simple touch, etc.). For someone like me, it's no big deal to get the books elsewhere, convert them and sideload but for others I …
78,000 apply to leave Earth forever to live on Mars
Tue May 7, 2013
- Funny that there are such small minds that their whole existence only contains one subject and have only one emotion (condescension or hate). A volcano erupts: Can we move all of the liberals by it? An earthquake hits China: Can we drop the liberals in the crack? Deadly new flu virus: I hope it on …
Analysis: Vladimir Putin's crackdown guts Russia's opposition movement
Tue May 7, 2013
- From Communist left-wing (select few running the government for the 'benefit' of the people but actually for themselves) totalitarianism to right-wing/fascist (alliance of government with business/rich) totalitarianism. In outward appearance they are both the same and both are dangerous.
