  1. Hmm. The gov't shouldn't have "resources to deploy" in any way that crowdsourcing can help w/. It means they have too much discretion. #ogd
  2. Transparency is key - and this is a good step - but I'd rather see rules on what the gov't does than how quickly they tell us about it. #ogd
  3. Catch the live Open Government Directive announce: http://bit.ly/7YgHLU. Also on Google Wave by searching "with:public tag:ogd" #ogd
  4. Hmm...anti-price gouging laws & arguments for healthcare non-discrimination are equivalent -- and they're both unethical & impracticable.
  5. @FreedomofLies No worries. I don't even know we disagree - I just haven't seen evidence. I err cautiously w/ big char accusations like that.
  6. @scientes Haha, yeah. 2nd clip's bad. As I said, politics. His mouth gets ahead of him. I don't think O's racist, just not a good pres.
  7. @scientes I remember that. Beck was off-base to say we have the best hcr in the world - it's broken. He def did a bizarre 180 there.
  8. @scientes Don't mistake corporate action w/ a moral position. I imagine you're rather more skeptical of corporate motives in other cases.
  9. @scientes No, I agree w/ them - safe to protect from backlash. You think they're doing it ethically? The boards weighed odds of profit loss.
  10. @scientes What did, people freely paying each other for goods & services? Sounds nightmarish, vs lifelong bureaucrats issuing decrees.
  11. @scientes I'm open to hearing the evidence, but slamming Obama, Dems, #hcr, and reparations don't cut it. Nor does being right-of-center.
  12. @FreedomofLies I disagree w/ Beck on that, but it's not racist. Just political. I'm anti-#hcr AND anti-reparations, but not racist.
  13. @FreedomofLies No, racism = a race is intrinsically worse. Beck's #hcr thing is anti-Obama, not anti-black. Accusing O of being race-driven.
  14. These dumb politicians think of "creating jobs" as a direct policy rather than the organic result of a free & prosperous economy.
  15. @FreedomofLies The toon pitches Beck as a racist. If calling someone ELSE (BO) a racist is itself racist, the artist is himself guilty, no?
  16. Huffpost promoting yet another sad bit of nonsense portraying Glenn Beck as a racist: http://digs.by/kcG -- try listening sometime, fools.
  17. It's a bad thing that politicians have dispensed with discussing ethics & rights almost entirely, sticking to efficiency & utilitarianism.
  18. Thx again to the House for showing that they can "read" 1990 pages of a health care bill, but the 19 pages of the Constitution evade them.
  19. Universal healthcare is an extremely poor idea not only from an ethics standpoint (by my standards), but also from an architectural one.
  20. One of the most reasonable articles on American healthcare I've read, by the CEO of Whole Foods (written at his peril): http://digs.by/14v
