As with any advance it's going to take years, perhaps decades, for the state regulatory apparatus to catch up. I'm not sure what the answer is in all cases but (gene editing aside) it seems like we'll get through with less morbidity and mortality than 18th and 19th century industrialization. <br /><br />The 3D printing case is a shit-storm in a piss-pot, really, as (a) the TSA is a theatre troupe failing 90% of penetration drills against conventional attacks, (b) they don't use metal-limited x-rays and they have chemical sniffers, and (c) you can't seize an american airplane at this point no matter what weapons you have. <br /><br />NB: SF authors have thought the ever-loving-shit out of any technology you can imagine, teleportation and home fabrication included. Depending on their breadth of mind and ideological inclination the effects vary wildly. They might be the people to ask for regulatory solutions.mojrimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03416999187677478475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9263167.post-44265123150961377162018-08-01T10:51:45.959-04:002018-08-01T10:51:45.959-04:00PS I don't blame Shitler for going on the offe...PS I don't blame Shitler for going on the offensive and claiming, in his sociopathic way, that he's a victim. After all, he's going to spend the rest of his highly UNnatural life in prison.<br />[(Did you see the news today (8-1-18)? Shitler thinks you have to show a photo ID to buy groceries. Can you say, "Completely, hopelessly, out-of-touch?" And this is the guy who ran as a populist for all the ignorant supporters who can't see that he's asking them to bend over so he can stick his little spiny penis up their asses and fuck 'em REAL good so they're all destitute. No, they wave their flags and MAGA hats and say, "Yay, he's for guns and against abortion!" Neither is true. He just wants to fuck EVERYONE as badly as he feels he's been fucked.]<br /><br />As Robin Williams said about men (specifically, the desire to use nuclear bombs), "It's men's way of saying, 'If we can't fuck it, we'll kill it.'"<br /><br />That is what a harpy is. That's who Cheney and Bush and Trump and all the other evil Caucasoid motherfuckers are.Don Quixotenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9263167.post-11189370490105999072018-08-01T10:43:06.146-04:002018-08-01T10:43:06.146-04:001) https://www.thenation.com/article/escape-hitler...1) https://www.thenation.com/article/escape-hitlers-germany-taught-trumps-america/<br /><br />2) https://www.cnn.com/2016/01/27/politics/anne-frank-donald-trump-adolf-hitler/index.html<br /><br /><br />But "No!" cry the Trumpists. It's okay if he does it! If he lies, cheats, murders. Why? Because ... because ... hmm ...<br /><br />Perhaps it's not okay.<br /><br />It's not! "Stop the witch hunt! Oh, it's an investigation into Shitler's treachery and stealing, his treason? Oh ..."<br /><br />If this were Obama in office, all the Trump supporters would be apoplectic. But THEIR guy can do no wrong. If he cooks Barron and eats him? "Hey, the man was hungry! Leave him alone! It's HIS kid! He can do what he likes!"<br /><br />All of the blind, ignorant supporters can tell you why THIS time in history ... it's okay! Because Shitler is a "stable genius!" Oh, he's not stable? Oh, he's not a genius?<br /><br />Shit, are WE fucked!Don Quixotenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9263167.post-8533911317408218412018-08-01T10:35:58.566-04:002018-08-01T10:35:58.566-04:00I tremble for my country.
I don't read The Na...I tremble for my country.<br /><br />I don't read The Nation like I used to because it features articles casting doubt on Donald Trump's treachery. But the first article (below) caught my attention. I already call Trump "Shitler" because of his proclivity for reading Hitler's speeches and his desire to mimic the monster that was Hitler.<br /><br />I do believe the United States of America's government is in the hands of traitors, who are, to a man/and woman, so-called congressional "Republicans."<br /><br />I know that Shitler is demented, self-hating, the world's most insecure man, a carnival barker/snake oil salesman, a sociopath without conscience, mentally very, very ill, with the worst imaginable case of narcissistic personality disorder, and an unsatisfiable lust for power that derives from his anger at an engulfing father and the inner knowledge that everything that came to him--Shitler--was given, and he has wasted his life, and has a small dick that he's angry about because he thinks it matters. And everyone's gonna pay for his raw deal!<br /><br />I don't understand how anyone could support such a person ... even though I've worked and been friendly with people who wanted to "shake things up" in Washington. But to have no idea of what character is? Electing a fraudulent, pathologically-lying, hate-filled megalomaniac who dreams of being a thug and--with the mainstream media's permission--stalks his "debate" opponent onstage? I just don't get it. Can people really be this blind and/or ignorant? A man who "pays off" everyone he tries to fuck--including, now, the farmers?<br /><br />Do our votes even count? Most voting machine corporations are owned by hard-right Republicans. I am beginning to believe that it is all a cynical song-and-dance between the corporations and the mainstream media. I'm no conspiracy theorist. But we are lied to constantly; that I know. It's the American way. FDR was a traitor to his own wealthy class.<br /><br />If other countries can have democracy and compassion, we can too. Do I sound like a moron, a buffoon? A bleeding-heart liberal? I think not. I sound like my eyes are open. Call me a "radical"--from the Latin radix, meaning one who endeavors to get to the root of something.<br /><br />"Honor those who seek the truth, but beware those who claim to have found it."<br />Don Quixotenoreply@blogger.com
