I would like to see the correlating data regarding the increase of ethanol in gasoline with the rise in food prices/riots as well. I seem to recall that just before the Haitian riots in 2008 there was an increase in ethanol mixture of gasoline.

There are also folks who do what is known as affiliate marketing that may be behind this. GoToMeeting may not have actually placed the ad, however an affiliate marketer (3rd party) may have placed the ad in hopes to get click through dollars.

I just read this and thought I'd pass it along: http://www.infowars.com/obama-signs-global-internet-treaty-w...

Sensationalism of the site reporting this not with standing but why did SOPA get so much attention and this so little?

I believe they said that they had been turning the power on and off for a while, trying to short circuit it.

I'm really excited by this and the other online classes. Has anyone else taken these? I'm wondering if I've over done it with the sign ups.

These people will be contacted by the modern world one way or another. I choose to help them not treat them like animals to be set on display at a zoo. Let them be the decision makers in their own destiny. Like the guy said, loggers will come in and kill them. We can at least give them the ability to speak for themselves. And that unfortunately means someone is going to have to make contact with them.

I have to say it sounds like you received the not so invasive pat down procedure of old not the new and improved stick your hands down my pants and twist pat down procedures.

A friend told me he flew into San Antonio yesterday and not only had his junk touched but it was twisted to boot. He said he didn't even get offered dinner first and he was afraid he'd get arrested if he'd punched the guy in the nose but was really just too freaked out to do anything.

This is what the government wants; sheeple that will let them even mess with your private parts without response.

Just fyi... when I tried to open this at work our web traffic filter flagged this as an adult only website.

Tell that to someone who's had an idea copyrighted/patented and used without their permission.

You do realize that this is a Western societal phenom? I work with women who are from India and China. Quite a few of them in fact. What is different in their cultures that they have so many women in this field and we do not?

Ideas can always be stolen. We've had so called investors try to rip us off left and right. Don't think Facebook isn't capable of the same.
