In the 70's in high school we saw a film where a crow dropped pebbles into a glass of water in order to raise the level of water so it could get a drink.
Just last night on the radio they were talking about Manning ending a hunger strike and getting some medical attention and having the surgery suggested by her psych doctor.
I don't know how these guys get off saying stuff like that like the guy who said the Katrina hurricane victims deserved what they got for being sinners and the church that protests at funerals. Then when something is done or said to them it's all about the devils work. I'm pretty certain these behaviors are not condoned in any religion or belief system.
This is essentially what Jacque Fresco had in mind when he designed the Venus Project. Very interesting read. Will it work? I wish it would but not likely in a capitalist system.
The US stopped having wars with nations and instead has gone onto wars against ideas and things. The war against terror and the war against drugs being two of them. This way they can pick and choose which country to war with those elements without warring with a nation.
"The analysis found a very different result with Google’s top competitors, Bing and Yahoo.
When spotted the terms “Hillary Clinton cri” and “Hillary Clintion ind,” Bing and Yahoo brought up as their top choices “Hillary Clinton criminal charges” and “Hillary Clinton indictment” as part of their auto-complete functions using the same key letters, according to SourceFed.

I've always said Facebook is a government agents, pedophiles, stalkers and burglars dream come true. All that information freely given away to whoever wishes to collect it. Now with the audio video aspect, Facebook can branch out into amateur porn.
I was taking a school bus license endorsement exam and saw they throw out a Chinese girl for cheating. The examiner said it was a fairly frequent occurrence. They couldn't read the questions or answers but they could match the picture with the correct line of answers on the computerized testing machine after enough memorization.
>a good idea for jobs where worker impairment presents an imminent physical danger
When I was in school some of the bus drivers were drunk, stoned or tripping on LSD. It really was a lot like the bus driver in The Simpsons.
Back then truckers would do the same and stay awake driving for days; some of the stories I've heard make me wonder how they ever survived long enough to get clean.
>criminal background checks
I know of a woman who became a school bus aide after a background check and she was in prison for attempted murder and human trafficking so I don't put a lot of confidence in these preventing employment, only will cut down on applications.
I find it strange to be hearing murmurs of Nokia has some new thing going on all the while they are being sold off. I hope the employees don't find out they've been sold out on twitter.
