We Only Have Hours Left to Stop the NSA Expansion Bill

A large fraction of the gun community actually HATES the NRA for exactly the same reasons everybody else does. There's just no highly visible organizations for gun owners that, y'know, promote reasonable gun control and don't try and whip their members into wannabe race war frenzies.

Equating a change in insurance benefits and costs based on changes to the ACA with "taking ... health care away from people" is simultaneously dramatizing the negative effect of the policy you dislike and minimizing the effect of the policy you prefer. As above, there are a lot of people whose "health care is being taken away", to use your terminology for "undesired fluctuations in insurance benefits and costs, including being completely priced out of their former policy", with the ACA in place. In reality, people are rarely rendered unable to access important health care services regardless of their insurance status.

Referring to "the citizen's best interest" is a tautology; political dialogue fundamentally arises from differing perspectives on how those interests are best served. In a free country, political discourse and representative government is the process by which "the citizen's best interest" is determined.

But I want to avoid the nitpicks. The issue is that when we hear coherent, valid perspectives that don't align with our own, we feel "not only insulted, but [endangered]". That's the sentiment we have to get away from.

I feel like I spent a pretty good amount of effort fulfilling your request. I presented reasonable perspectives that describe how the policies you mentioned can be interpreted to benefit the average citizen. That doesn't prove they're perfect or that they have no downsides, and it definitely doesn't mean that you'll agree. But as a society, we need to be able to engage in this dialogue without name-calling, threatening, or berating -- without condescension -- if we want to be able to stay stable and unified.

This is obviously not a simple task. What things could help us improve the mutual toleration and respect for actually-different POVs and the people who hold them? How can we refrain from hyperbolizing issues (e.g., pretending that a change to the current insurance regulations will leave scores dying in the streets, or conversely the confiscation of private medical facilities and destruction of all private medical industry) and present them in a way that allows each other to acknowledge the middle ground and agree to disagree?

If the fancy club for rich people is the US, the only way you can get paid and not have the club take its cut is to move to another planet. You might be able to get around its house rules for performances by playing somewhere else, but it is literally the only available venue within 650 miles. If you even tried to set up a stage somewhere closer, bouncers loyal to the fancy club always arrive sooner or later to kick you out and burn it down.

That's more than $100 in gas money, and at least 20 hours on the road, just to get to and from a gig at a different club. So there is a cost to you in sticking it to the club management by peacefully refusing to play for them on their stage.

They know this when negotiating terms with you, and it allows them to capture some of that cost from the performers. Anyone willing and able to burn down the whole club can capture some of the potential cost of rebuilding it from the owners. "Yes, we could pay you a $20 stage fee and wait 3 hours to play, and not have to drive all the way to Club Canadia #3, or you could pay us $500 to go on stage right now, and you won't die in a fire and have your ashes added to the porcelain for the new urinals." You probably won't ever have to actually do that; they just have to believe your threat is credible in order to agree to a better deal.

That's what the petty violence is good for. It makes the other guy have an inkling that maybe, just maybe, this person could murder them and/or burn everything they own, and so they shouldn't act like a complete ass. It still works when that other guy is completely devoid of empathy, conscience, or courtesy.

Even if you don't believe in violence on principle, surely you must recognize the perception of weakness that can generate when in a negotiation with someone who does?

Botched CIA Murdering Operation in Russia: http://www.basrc.biz/help Send everywhere and publish everywhere! World-Changing Physics Help my Family and Me!

I need the attached information (unequivocal truth) uploaded for everyone to see. I have tried unsuccessfully.

Good afternoon, my name is Benjamin Allen Sullivan. I have world and humanity changing discoveries (Mathematics, Physics, and Otherwise) that have been prevented from recognition and academic accreditation by the intelligence community. Below is the information that I have sent to thousands of Media, Government, my Fellow Americans, Academia, and every legitimate faucet of Democracy relentlessly without success (manipulation by the CIA et al.). I have attached my discoveries (Unification) and the patents that I own (including filing certificates) for the Quantum Technological Revolution (Quantum Radio and Communications, Quantum Imager, and Quantum Encryption Systems and Software) are available at the links provided below.

My family and I need your help – our lives depend on it!

We need you to validate and publish my Discoveries, Physics, and Science.

Any other help that you can provide will contribute to saving our lives: 1. I need a Whistle-Blower Attorney (and firm) for the no fail contingency case of a lifetime (I am willing to pay a premium). 2. Main Stream Media Reporting the Truth. 3. Medical Attention for the removal of these implants and the remainder of me repaired after years of torture, abuse, and multiple attempts at my life. 4. Academia validating my Discoveries, Physics, and Science and reporting the same.

Please help us!

Good afternoon, my name is Benjamin Allen Sullivan and I desperately need your help and legal counsel.

I have information substantiating years of torture, abuse, multiple attempts at my life, a botched CIA operation in Russia, theft of my intellectual property, and decimation of my life by the CIA and CSIS.

I had a deadline of 13 July 2017 to have these filed with WIPO and have them fully protected. There is no way that I could have accomplished this after these people have systematically destroyed my life.

These people have manipulated my life in every way and prevented the sale and filing of my intellectual property and prevented the establishment of my business to exploit my discoveries, physics, and science.

In fact, there is absolutely no statute for time (or even my actions - which have been honorable and truthful) as long as these illegal implants remain in my body and my U.S. Constitutional Rights and Civil Liberties are being discarded with every legitimate facet of democracy prevented from functioning.

This intellectual property is worth trillions of dollars and it has been stolen (I possess the patents for a quantum radio, quantum communications system, quantum imager, quantum encryption and associated software – filing certificates attached and other intellectual property prevented from filing). I can pay you/your firm with the recovery and filing of this intellectual property which is an integral component of this case. This is the contingency case of a lifetime and I am willing to pay a premium for your firm’s legal help.

I will engage the Affirmative Asylum process (I have an I-589 electronically filled out - attached).

I am a U.S. Citizen and entitled to ALL my Constitutional Rights and Civil Liberties. My U.S. Government (CIA) Drugged me by stabbing with a needle and put these illegal implants in my body.

I need your help with this urgently.

In addition to this, I have presented all the same information that I have given you to the Washington Post (Peter Finn) and thousands of other media emails.

I am living by squatting in houses, in a tent, or in shelters after arriving in DC on 02 July 2017. I entered the US from Mexico by swimming across the Rio Grande and hitchhiking my way here. I do not have a fixed-address. I am prepared (and looking forward to) being a witness against these criminals and bringing them all to justice via legitimate democratic trials on home US soil with public access, media, public accountability, and all the components of democracy functioning.

I need your counsel more than you can imagine. I require a lawyer that is willing to tackle the former director of the CIA, the U.S., and Canadian Governments, CSIS, and the remainder of the implicated intelligence communities involved.

I am in constant fear of my life and need your help and your legal counsel!

I know how incredible all of this sounds (and it is incredible), I could not make this up if I wanted to and I have the substantiating evidence to support it. Please start with reading the document: CSIS Murdering Ring and Operation in Russia

Please help me immediately.
