To commandersozo: Violence is also the last refuge of a cornered animal. The guy likely saw no hope for the individual and it's true. Do you really think anyone at all can make the old white money change their behaviors with reason and logic? That'd be like saying equal opportunity should be removed because in this day and age if you can't hold your own against someone with actual skills and experience you don't deserve the job. You need to open your eyes my friend. Granted he shouldn'tve gone in there with a gun given his last protests getting enough attention but at least from what's been given in this article it sounds like he was shot for simply holding a gun and a hostage. You don't hold hostages if your intention is to kill them.

If the guy was a little more proactive he could've gotten some support first before he went and did that. I sympathize with the guy. The military can't even secure their own network from malware, solar power isn't free, the president has no real power because "committees" are taking care of everything, a person could go on forever about the limitations government puts on civilization in order to keep power for themselves.

Just consider how better off the entire population would be if the US took it's military budget for a single year, and transferred it into solar power. They would still have superior technology if they put their projects on hold for a year. Howabout forcing researchers to work together for a common cause? Do you really think all those cancer research companies want to get together because they want to cure cancer for everyone? Hell no, they want to do it individually so they can receive credit and money and patents for themselves.

I think his point is that the government could be doing so many things that it's not doing in order to help people as a whole instead of trying to make a buck for itself. I applaud the guy as well for having the balls to make a statement. I feel sorry for what he had to go through - "ignorance is bliss" is a harsher truth than many understand. Realizing what's going on can be very stressful when you're powerless to do anything to change it.

If you want to argue with me about it, just consider whats really going to happen once people are in outer space with their own space ships. Good luck trying to control individuality and criminal enterprise at that point and it's going to be government that creates a need in a portion of the population for that. Normal people at that point will be joining gangs for protection, privacy, and freedom instead of money and power.

Would you rather live every day as a high-stress sales/marketing manager with a bitchy greedy wife and kids or would you rather live as a farmer with some electronic luxuries at your own pace stress free? Why are cigarettes even legal at this point given their toxicity? Government is a joke. Open your eyeballs to reality.

I go back to that philosopher G. Carlin.

"The Planet is fine! The PEOPLE are F&%#ed!"

[citation][nom]c1c2c3c4c[/nom]one light year is distance light can travel in one year the nearest galazy is 25,000 light years away so at 10% speed of light thats 250,000years to reach it, and anti matter explosions would destroy a ship.best bet is to get a wormhole built just outside our galaxy which is consivable in theory with modern tecnology but would take most of the matter in the astiroid belt's to acomplish. however even after that you still have the problum of serviving being sucked into a wormhole and then shot out the other side.[/citation]

The next star system is Alpha Centauri, ~4 Light years away. As far as traveling to the nearest galaxy at .1c is concerned, general relativity says time slows down. The trip will seem a lot shorter for the participants, but those back home will see millions of years pass.

That is, if general relativity is true...

General relativity is true. It has been proven many times over.

Humans are, for the most part, mindless parasite. We're selfish, destructive and never satisfied with what we have. This guy may have taken things to an extreme measure, but his concerns are spot on. We need a major upheaval of standard living practices if we want this planet to last another century

 

[Xatos]

A liberal going crazy and killing people over some phony pretensive agenda? Noooooo, that NEVER happens.

 

[Onus]

[citation][nom]cranium[/nom]...We need a major upheaval of standard living practices if we want this planet to last another century[/citation]
No no no...we need a major upheaval if the current global pecking order is to be maintained. Humans could wipe out 99% of life on this planet, and in another ten million years or so, Earth will be teeming with life as though humans were never on it.
Don't get me wrong, I believe strongly in trying not to make things worse, being as "green" as possible (it tends to be more efficient, healthier, and for some things, cheaper), but not over any mistaken notion about "saving the planet."

 

[screechy]

What a hypocrite. One less scum bag eviro Nazi we have to deal with

 

[djmpsf]

Now why can't someone do this to FOX "News"

[shin0bi272]

[citation][nom]jsc[/nom]Ah, more right-wing violence.[/citation]
evriro nuts are left wing bub... sorry but all the violent protesters are on the left (meaning liberal/democrat/socialist/anarchist (though ironically)/fascist/communist/marxist)... like ELF, ALF, PETA, and now this jackwagon who "had an awakening" after watching Algore's movie "an inconvenient truth"... last week or so the alBore said "the earth is in crisis and people should stand up and act"... Anyone else surprised that this crap happened? People say that the Tea Party people are dumb but if you believe anything algore says you should probably find a tall building and jump off.

[citation][nom]djmpsf[/nom]Now why can't someone do this to FOX "News"[/citation]
yeah there you go ... incite more violence for your own selfish political gains. Are you upset that fox tries to give both sides of the issues or that they have more viewers at 3am than all the other cable news channels at 8pm... combined? Oh wait I know you just dont like anyone that disagrees with the cookie cutter view that democrat=good, republican=satan... You know that came from woodrow wilson right? He got the news papers to print propaganda for him to control what the people thought by controlling what they heard. Control the media, control the masses. Oh and he was a democrat... a progressive democrat that today would make Obama look like Oscar the grouch.

 

[maddocc]

well the population thing is easy to solve, if 2 ppl come together and have 1 baby then population can be reduced by a half every generation

 

[ALANMAN]

I stopped reading at '...disgusting human babies!'

Idiot.

 

[eddieroolz]

encourage the birth of any more parasitic human infants

Perhaps he should've started with himself first...you know, getting his "enviro friends" to die em masse. Then we solve two problems with one stone!

Interestingly he decries against civilization as "filth" yet he wears and uses products of such a civilization. Guns, explosives and clothes.

Wow how rare, you don't see many asians protesting for the environment. As a whole most Asians make alot of money by doing the opposite of what Lee has done. Protesting for deregulation and lower taxes. In the US, Asians make the highest average per capita income.
