AS there are thousands of topics most candidates do not express a preference for things. Each preference they do have also eliminates voters.
"Taxes for wealthy people" [important] [not important]
"War with Iran" [important] [not important]
"Militart spending" [important] [not important]
etc
Which says a lot about the media you read.
Perhaps if submitting something would cost some karma you could submit as much as you want without feeling guilty. If additional submissions in the same hour/day would be more expensive you could chose to ignore that too.
They/we might have been a bit slow at times, democratic governments always tried to use the best technology available. Before the internet there was television, before television there was radio. The later 2 [at least] gave us top down communication. The voter could, all of a sudden, stay informed in real time. This was a big deal. We made huge progress right there.
We have internet now, we are obligated to use this to improve our democratic system.
It looks like it today (at least to me) but the reason we have representatives was not because we are to stupid to mow our own lawn. On the contrary, democracy assumes the voter to be competent. Would we not be competent enough to vote on specific things it automatically follows that we are not competent enough to vote at all.
We are the first generation to use representation as an excuse not to get involved.
Our politicians are suppose to guess what we want. Some end up choosing something that makes them rich. Not much of a coincidence there? It might be possible in theory for a representative to represent your interests better than you. But it isn't likely or even a believable scenario.
What do the Russians think? And the Chinese? And the Africans? No one knows? Assuming they even have an opinion about it?
If we don't like it we can always censor them?
hehehe
Forget about the CS degree. This will teach you how incredibly slow a coder you really are and let you upgrade to Starcraft like apm. Additional version can be made in almost unlimited variation.
for as far as I could figure out...
If a for-profit business seeks to employ you without financial compensation they are breaking the law. If you offer your services below minimum wage you are breaking the law. If the worker's services are an integral part of the employer's business the worker is an employee of that company. If the role isn't an essential functions of the company you could be a contractor.
Either way you must pay wages.
Or can the text on pages like these be stretched to say exactly the opposite of what it says?
us: http://www.dol.gov/elaws/esa/flsa/docs/volunteers.asp
Under the FLSA, employees may not volunteer services to for-profit private sector employers.
Employers can’t avoid paying the National Minimum Wage if it’s due by:
saying or stating that it doesn’t apply
making a written agreement saying someone isn’t a worker or that they’re a volunteer
Vrijwilliger verricht werkzaamheden voor een organisatie zonder winstoogmerk.
De organisatie mag geen (bedrijf) B.V. of N.V. zijn, tenzij sportvereniging.
De vrijwilliger verricht het werk niet als zijn beroep.
I'm curious now, how does Hufington Post (New York) do it?
They cant even imagine someone would type that.
Thanks for explaining.

@everyone
Did you vote for the 2 party dictatorship?
Are you going to vote for it again?
You are aren't you?
A sample for today:

Professor Bacevich retired http://www.bu.edu/today/2014/good-bye-professor-bacevich/
and is starting a MOOC https://www.edx.org/course/bux/bux-intl301x-war-greater-midd...
Reddit user 20kadjunct is adjunct professor with an annual salary of $20,000 and 2 other jobs. http://www.businessinsider.com/adjunct-professors-ama-on-red...
professor Thomas Docherty, a nationally recognised critic of higher education leadership and policy, was suspended last term in March. http://theboar.org/2014/06/23/suspended-professor-prevented-...

2013 - Targeted treatment of cancer with radiofrequency electromagnetic fields amplitude-modulated at tumor-specific frequencies http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3845545/ Abstract: In the past century, there have been many attempts to treat cancer with low levels of electric and magnetic fields. We have developed noninvasive biofeedback examination devices and techniques and discovered that patients with the same tumor type exhibit biofeedback responses to the same, precise frequencies. Intrabuccal administration of 27.12 MHz radiofrequency (RF) electromagnetic fields (EMF), which are amplitude-modulated at tumor-specific frequencies, results in long-term objective responses in patients with cancer and is not associated with any significant adverse effects. Intrabuccal administration allows for therapeutic delivery of very low and safe levels of EMF throughout the body as exemplified by responses observed in the femur, liver, adrenal glands, and lungs. In vitro studies have demonstrated that tumor-specific frequencies identified in patients with various forms of cancer are capable of blocking the growth of tumor cells in a tissue- and tumor-specific fashion. Current experimental evidence suggests that tumor-specific modulation frequencies regulate the expression of genes involved in migration and invasion and disrupt the mitotic spindle. This novel targeted treatment approach is emerging as an appealing therapeutic option for patients with advanced cancer given its excellent tolerability. Dissection of the molecular mechanisms accounting for the anti-cancer effects of tumor-specific modulation frequencies is likely to lead to the discovery of novel pathways in cancer.
