Not a problem. There are planes to Moscow every day.
: Well said.
People forget THEY are the government.
Corporations are controlled by a minority.
: It is about homogeneity, governance is about concession, corporations are about homogeneity, which offers some solace for people who hate different views.
Ah, yes, Joe Barton. The congressman who accused the White House and attorney general of a "$20 billion shakedown" of BP to establish an escrow account to compensate victims of the Gulf oil spill. Barton created a firestorm when he apologized in a committee hearing to BP CEO Tony Hayward for the so-called shakedown. This genius so embarrassed and appalled Barton's own political party that its House leadership called him on the carpet within minutes to repudiate his remarks, threatening that if he didn't, they would strip him of his committee leadership positions. He quickly knuckled under to House Minority Leader John Boehner's ultimatum. News reports later revealed that Barton ranks first among House members for contributions raised from the oil and gas industry.
Given his debacle in the recent oil spill, doesn't that raise questions as to whose pockets among tech and electronics firms Barton might be in with respect to his letter to Apple?
After years[and centuries, as you mention], honestly, the "Western world" is coming to grips with sustainability and more responsible government. The developing world is still behind the curve, namely facing problems with dictatorships and blatant corruption (I mean, more than the usual you'd see in the "Western world")...
... On a global scale though, the rate some countries are burning through energy, minerals, resources eg. China, next India, Africa in a few decades... Hmm it can be depressing.
Thanks for the info. I asked because it's hard to keep perspective when you are trapped in the "American Bubble". Too many people, too much garbage, too much consumption, too much corruption, greed and fear. We're all doing a pretty bad job at whatever it is we're supposed to be doing. Wait a minute! I just realized something. What are we doing?

"While I applaud Apple for responding to our questions," Barton said, "I remain concerned about privacy policies that run on for pages and pages. I hope every business uses information for advertising and marketing purposes that will work toward more transparency and complete disclosure about their practices, as well as robust security for the information they hold."
How about Acts of Congress that don't run on for pages and pages.
I wonder how many riders were on the school bus stopping bill in "I'm Only a Bill"? Can you imagine what poor little Bill would be carrying on his back?
Advisory note - Remember analysts' negative comments on a company can be that a company won't sell a different product just to make more money per customer. Where I work, the analysts complain we won't sell what we believe to be *really* bad for consumers, too. They just write (when people notice) that we are not maximizing our profit by ripping off consumers (ripping off part *our* comment).
