If the SCOTUS decision stands...It'll be time to stock up...

[cliffordu]

.....On printing presses and paper. Kick it old skool - the innernets will be the first thing killed through corporate control.


Word of mouth, posters on walls, 'Zines.

Underground for real. I can remember how to run a Dick 385.


Viva la information!!!

[scheming daemons]

1. The internet is global... can't really be controlled by AMERICAN corporations....

Ironically, we'll have to depend on foreign corporations.

[Pryderi]

2. And foreign corporations will be helping to run the American Government...

8. If you believe that I have a bridge to sell you. You don't work in IT do you?

[Libertas1776]

22. ...tell that to China with their

"free access" to the internet not infringed by the government :sarcasm:

[MiniMe]

27. True, but you can kiss net neutrality goodbye

[onehandle]

3. Dick 385!?

Gah!

I hope it doesn't come to that!

[cliffordu]

5. I was in the last classes at Austin Community College to actually

run those presses for a printing certificate -- actually qualified for an AA degree, short three credits because they had an Eagle they couldn't run cause it kept breaking.

And they couldn't find parts.

Great times.

[kentauros]

16. You see, now that's en example of where you get the drafting/machining

classes to make new parts, keep it all in-house and teach those skills at the same time :D

[tridim]

4. It's going to be VERY hard, but we gotta do what we gotta do.

I'm getting more and more angry by the minute.

I've been browsing our founding documents to see what they had to say about internal coups.
It can't be legal, can it?

All I know is we have to do something. This will not stand.

[cliffordu]

6. At this point talking about revolution online is asking to be on a

database somewhere -

That's why I suggested getting printing.......

Worked for Ben Franklin and his posse

[tridim]

11. I haven't used the R word yet.

I hope I don't have to.

[laughingliberal]

7. I was thinking that this morning. Next, they'll kill net neutrality and we will have no where to go

for information the corporate media does not want us to have.

9. I remember when mimeograph machines ruled

[AwakeAtLast]

13. I can smell it now

<ssssnnniifff> Ahhhh!

:D

[mitchtv]

14. + 1

purple/blue ink

[eleny]

15. Lol!!!

[Hekate]

19. Mmmmm. Purple ink. And that thump, thump, thump from the office.

My God, the memories. I actually put out an alternate paper at my college using an old mimeo machine.

10. "Buy used Starve the beast" my dad earlier today

:think:

[eleny]

12. Honest to god but I was thinking that I'm scaling back big time

I'm with your dad. Thrift shops are some of my favorite places, btw. And besides, I've got pretty much all the basics. And enough clothes in the closet plus fabric to sew for the rest of my life. So, f 'em.

Corporations are the new pigs.

[proud patriot]

17. yep

:thumbsup:

[w8liftinglady]

20. I'm with your dad...my mom and I go to Goodwill A LOT!

[Kablooie]

18. What we need are some changes in the SCOTUS. And FAST!!

[Hekate]

23. And how would you effect that? They serve at the pleasure of... themselves, pretty much.

The two in the most ill-health are ones we really want to keep ON the court.

Scalia is having a high old time--he may be old, but Fat Tony appears to be in robust health and having just a high old time. Roberts is relatively young, and as Chief Justice, why would he go anywhere?

We're screwed.

24. I'll bet Hollywood writers could come up with something pretty dynamic.

[Hekate]

25. It'd make a great wish-fulfillment fantasy movie, wouldn't it? nt

[Kablooie]

26. Some secret Al Quaeda operatives could take the SCOTUS visitor tour.

Then we might be able to get some quick changes to the court makeup.

[Hekate]

21. Xerox machines are faster by far, but I take your point. nt
