Just remembered this forum and decided to see if I could guess my old password. I was right and managed to log in! Very cool to see this place still exists and is still active. 🙂

http://www.roswellpark.org/media/news/roswell-park-launches-landmark-immunotherapy-vaccine-trial Here's a more in-depth article that covers how the vaccine is intended to function. It's a "Dendritic cell vaccine". Here's an in-depth video on it: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZjtaTz3EZWw]Roswell Park Launches Landmark Immunotherapy Cancer Vaccine Trial - YouTube[/ame]

http://www.wgrz.com/news/article/152242/37/Roswell-Park-Makes-Cancer-Vaccine-Announcement This looks promising. It's not a fringe organization developing it, and the science behind it is sound! http://www.wgrz.com/video/default.aspx?bctid=1412201861001

Aw, that's too bad you removed those pictures! At least Christians wallow in imagery of a dead man nailed to a cross. Statists can't bear to see the fruits of their gospel. Let's laugh at this guy instead: http://dsc.discovery.com/videos/first-week-in-season-1-cut-off-from-the-world.html#mkcpgn=snag1

SO FUNNY * graphic pictures removed * [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWKG6ZmgAX4]Obama Jokes About Killing Jonas Brothers With Predator Drones - YouTube[/ame]

There's nothing much to see here, anyway. Just a washed-up has-been country that's spent its way into poverty and a totalitarian government.

Possibly the real reason MegaUpload was shut down: http://www.digitalmusicnews.com/permalink/2011/111221airvinyl

I wonder how many jobs were destroyed because of this.

Sorry, couldn't help myself. ;)

You're right, And this is precisely why it's being done. Music/Movie downloaders are considered to be "cheating", in a similar way to how Automobile manufacturers were "cheating" the horse-and-buggy companies. Technology changes things, and these corporations haven't accepted that. They need to adopt new business models, but they refuse to do it, so they're using the government and propaganda. One possible alternative is for artists to simply ditch all the middle-men and accept donations online, a la Radiohead.

I think it's funny you actually believe corporations can bribe the government when it's the government that prints the money and has the power to tax.

Exactly, exactly, exactly. This point can't be emphasized enough.

Oh, oh, let me guess: They also found another license plate that reads, "I'm guilty of distributing copyrighted material for personal profit and I rape babies while declaring a War on Christmas and I watch MSNBC".

Money is a medium of exchange. Stop trying to redefine words to suit your arguments. "Private" and "public" are not clear distinctions. All individual humans are "private" people who are working to further their self-interests. They will use the government (a territorial monopolist of coercion) to accomplish their ends. You cannot abolish mediums of exchange (money) without destroying the structures of production that allow us to live in a society of abundance. However, you can limit the power of government by reducing its size. This is the goal of libertarians like Ron Paul. Your problem is you find it unfathomable that people might not trust someone who has lied dramatically and publicly for years, only to get into office and do the exact opposite of what he said he'd do. Without the government there wouldn't be a problem. The government is the enforcement apparatus. It forces taxpayers to finance its operations, something corporations cannot do. And maybe George Soros? Goldman Sachs? Solyndra? You're revealing yourself to be a leftist, here. What's your solution to this problem? "Pass more laws." Sorry, tried that. Didn't work. Statists always use circular arguments to support their theory of ideal government - "We can force them to pass laws to keep themselves well-behaved!" No, you can't. How easy do you think this would be, in the current structure? My guess is, a bloody revolution would actually require less friction to implement than the utopian laws you and Chuck regularly propose on these forums. A long time ago, congressmen didn't earn that much. Yet they still started unnecessary wars, committed genocides, raised taxes, banned peaceful trade/substances, and unilaterally raised their own salaries. I think you're confused about the "chicken/egg" - which comes first? The money or the power? Here's a hint: Do you see money naturally flowing toward people who have very little political power? Or do you see it flowing naturally toward people who *already* have power? Didn't you say you supported Obama in the other thread? How do you square that with your acknowledgement that he takes millions from Goldman Sachs? Just curious. Something tells me you don't really believe it, though. You're still under the illusion that government can be tamed, and made to serve the masses...

That awkward moment when you can't cite specific "things" you're referring to, instead opting to use vague platitudes: I liked some of the stuff Stalin did, but I was against other stuff.

Oh, just 95 years? Great! I can wait.

But they couldn't. The existence of power necessitates the bidding for power. Money isn't the problem (as you and Chuck Kottke believe it is). You'll never get rid of money, because it's a natural effect of human trade. The real problem is the power. Maybe not in this form, but it'll be back. Governments are terrified of the internet (for obvious reasons). Yes they do. Sales of Lady Gaga CD's generate tax revenue. What about the government? Do people in government not care about money? Do they not have families with kids in their 20's who are looking for jobs? Do they not make a lot of friends high-up in corporations who might give these 20-year-olds jobs? There is no grand conspiracy here. It's just the natural effects of having a monopolist cartel (government).

Your faith in government rivals Christians' faith in their savior Jesus.

Chuck, if labor costs more, employers can afford to hire fewer people, and the final price of goods and services will increase by a commensurate amount.

So I suppose that makes Wikipedia, Google, et al full of a bunch of raving paranoids then, right? After all, they are making a big stink about a bill that will supposedly never pass.
