bounce throws a chair into
the discussion
mircea_popescu: well whatever you
think, you're not
thinking as person,
therefore not a sovereign,
therefore nevermind.
mircea_popescu: undata for my curiosity, be a darling and narrate
the boston
tea party ?
undata: ThickAsThieves:
the above was more like "when a new continent is found,
the new inhabitants sometimes
try
things a bit differently in regards
to government"
mircea_popescu: bounce no, my point is,
the likes of popescu. mircea popescu.
the likes of redmon ? redmond who ?
bounce: the likes of redmond could do
that, plenty cash. instead
they're abusing

to "fix
the computers".. just put

thinking, a real crisis

to bring out
the real leadership (if available).

the skull+bones fraternity
that believe
the people are happiest when
there's something
to fight for, so
they promote perpetual war(s on stuff) (and gotten
the likes of dubya on
the
throne). and, well,
the people're getting sick of it because weak leadership.

to moon" or nothing.

the computers"

the shit is
this supposed
to work ? if you don't have
the ability
to control anything, how are you going
to own
the industrial processes makin space flight possible ?
mircea_popescu: the proposition
that space flight creates somehow independence.
undata: mircea_popescu:
the leaders (obama) you're decrying are vetted by
the guys on
the pile of weapons
undata: spaceflight gives you
the option of "stupidly far away"
undata: I
think
they'll always have
them.
undata: that's what I was poorly articulating yesterday,
thinking it unlikely
