Reading from prepared scripts and calling at predesignated times, retirees of the Communications Workers of America (CWA) are the newest recruits in the union's strike against Verizon Communications, asked to flood service centers with complaints and questions to — in the words of one leader — "tie them up."
The scripted calls are going to fiber-solution outlets, repair shops, maintenance and testing centers, and fiber-optic and digital subscriber line (DSL) centers to "keep them busy," said Pat Welsh, president of the CWA Retired Members Council for District 1, which covers New York, New Jersey and New England. He described the calls as "electronic picketing" whose purpose is to "stop them from doing business."
The CWA suggested the calls in emails to members of various Retired Members Council chapters in which the union said making the calls was something the retirees could do "right from your home" to support the union and those walking the picket lines. The emails contained sample questions for seven call centers, along with the telephone numbers for each and the best times to call.
the union folks are in total left field.they are whining about paying a small portion of their healthcare when everyone else in the company (the vast majority) is already paying our share and it is not killing us. AT&T just settled 2 contracts and guess what? they agreed to start paying their fair share for health insurance. If these fools had half a brain instead of placing their children in the middle of the street to stop VZ vehicles they would be hammering the company to stop sending jobs to the Philippines. If you can believe it those folks are more clueless then the union folks. If they want any kind of sympathy from the folks who will replace them if they walk out or the company locks them out they need to think about what is good for all the employees not just the 40K union folks from, lets face it " THE PHONE COMPANY". No one likes the phone company so they need to quit acting like it. The sad thing is they probably wont read this. Because if there is one thing that was abundantly clear when they went out last time is they have no concept of social media and how to effectively use it to influence public opinion. Just another example of them "living in the past" as Jethro Tull once said.IF you don't believe me take a look at some of the vids they posted.No one at this company likes the fact they are replacing hard working US workers with outsourced personnel who have no clue what they are doing and no work ethic to really get it done whatever it takes just to "increase share holder value". All the top execs should take a 50% cut in salary and leave the work here where it belongs. We need to quit making our customers suffer so the execs can keep their extravagant salaries and benefits. And all these wireless wonders they are putting in charge are the most clueless of the lot. All they know is sell more devices. Well that is fine in the consumer world but it don't cut it in the world of business. I am sure AT&T is loving every minute of this.
Seems like we might have a few mults here.Why not just resurrect this thread?.
Might have been those inept management people forever-con.
that too vz not maintaining lines
vz and gs want a spin off of the fios/wireless and let the landline die with its huge pension/salaries charge
Maybe it was due to Verizon not maintaining the lines, and not the unions fault.Happens every day.
Friend, first off I am not cwa, you do not know me so shut your mouth. You do not know what the union says or does, so again keep your mouth shut. You try to say everyone in the union does things. You have no clue. How about the company trying to take everything away from their workers so they can give their upper management raises and health care. I am sick and tired of you union haters. I am sick and tired of you so called investers saying the workers are screwing you. Employees are shareholders also.
BS the union is not hurting the customers. People the company had doing work while craft was out on strike did more harm to plant because they did not have a clue as to what they were doing. Heck if they could not figure out how to open a terminal especially one that had no drop wires in it, makes me wonder about why the company wanted these people in the first place.
Well VZ is aware of this guerilla of course.
it won't help the negociations which btw won't last much longer.
VZ is already diverting a lot of work or request supposedly aimed at landline business, towards wireless , or fios or towards external contracted parties (yes).
again why do AOL ATT COMCAST DIRECT TV similar job technicians have to be paid 40% less and participate much much higher for their medical coverage etc etc ?
Tom, the reason Comcast and direct Tv get paid less is because they do a not do craftsman like work. They never try to hide unsightly wire runs. Most of their install jobs are done by contractors who get paid per job not hourly, so they tend to do a crap job. Even if the customer has fished a wall and left a pull string they try and refuse to do the right thing and hide the wiring.
Fios is landline,where do you get your figures, or info from?, or do you just make them up toy try to make a point.
Instead of wasting your time here trying to antagonize, practice your spelling.
decision has been taken long time ago anyway
on order from GS....
spin off/let the landline business (where most unionized staff exists) and let it die.
lockout or strike, it's dead ahead.
the new "contract" (if any) is so tough (compared to the golden contract they have right now with huge salaries compared to same work done at ATW/DTV/COMCAST etc) that it's also "meant" to make a lot (VZ hope) of the FTs in particular to "quit" and leave....
seems you both share half a brain
seems you both need a good job
seems you both wish you had a good union job
anti american putzes!
both of you
and all you other cwa union bashers!
your envy is showing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
you all look quite green. yeah you.
keep posting your pathetic crap....
its HILARIOUS!!!!!!
No up ur ,I have an honest life, it is you that do not have a life always saying the same thing. I guess it is too much for your pea brain to comprehend.

To the hospital
Ella had her first late night trip to the hospital last night, which is possibly even less fun than it sounds. Turned out to be croup, but wow did it come on suddenly. She went to bed with a slightly runny nose and a slightly raspy voice, and woke up almost unable to breathe. These are the moments as parents that we'll always treasure: the blind panic, the ineffectual patting on the back, the whispered 'everything is going to be okay' like I'm some sorta doctor and know about these things, etc. What fun.
Anyway, they gave her steroids and she was fine. I'm hoping she'll now grow up to be a professional baseball player.
Artist's rendition of last night's events:
They referred to her breathing as stridor, which totally sounds like the bad guy out of a He-Man episode. Also, reading that Wikipedia article, they could have given her nebulized cocaine, so maybe she could have grown up to be Charlie Sheen! That's an opportunity lost in my book.
Comments (1) to "To the hospital"
Oh boy did I have to laugh under my breath. I don't know if it worked but I had to try… that photo is excellent. Ella's bout of croup is not so excellent.

True and I guess many do not have access to phpmyadmin or haven't learned it yet.
I think that running it far more reliable for things and is much better than using any plugin...if at all possible.
I am trying to learn more about mysql these days and its fun but some of the things I want to do are hard to know how.
e.g. a comparison of two tables for differences and writing that out to a file(not export)

I happened to be looking at my iPhone to get to my local Trader Joe's via back roads from where I was. The map program offered me the Yelp review of my store and I decided to take a look. What I found was the strangest mix of commentary with a remarkably low signal to noise ratio. The first one that popped up was 4/5 stars and reasonably to the point. The second on the 'recommended' list was a 1 star review in which the author droned on for 440 words. He discussed the awful parking lot, the soccer moms, the crying babies, and finally got around to the stuff for sale. "I will concede that the food is good – especially the wide selection of uppity olive oils and cheeses of which I am a huge fan. And the beer is good. And the wine is good." A couple dozen words in three sentences. Only this location has no alcohol license. No wine and no beer.
And "the way too small" parking lot is quite enormous, I've been there often as there's a Staples, a Pier 1, and other stores my family likes. Never a problem with the parking. To be fair, not every last review is this way, but for this store, more than half were.
I was compelled to look at other stores I'd been to, along with a few restaurants. Same for most of them. I understand you might not like a restaurant, supermarket, or other business. No problem with that. If half the reviewers on Yelp would stick the point, and not review the neighborhood, the cars, the parking lots, it might become a useful site.For now, it seems a site where people simply go on off topic rants about whatever they wish, unrelated to the establishment they are reviewing. A remarkable waste of my time.
Worse, Yelp has gained a reputation for burying good reviews of businesses that don't pay for their service. It's pretty apparent when you go to the reviews buried as 'not recommended,' if you can find them. Most curious to me is how long Yelp will even be around. A $4B valuation for a company that continues to spend more on marketing than they book in revenue. Remember, advertising dollars are not unlimited. Businesses spend so much each year and that's divided amongst all the print and on line places trying to sell ad space.

How To Set Up a Home Office for Two
In our home, there are two people using computers for work-related things. My wife uses her MacBook to work on photos and research, while I tend to stick to a desktop. A few years ago, we setup a home office using a large IKEA Galant desk. The desk was huge and it took up half of the room, but we could technically use both of our computers at the same time.
What You Need
Main desk for desktop, not too large, not too small
Cable management system
Secondary office desk
Desk lamps and floor lamps
1. First you'll want to set up your main workstation, the one on which your desktop will sit. Now, we're not going to decide who gets to use it, but usually, the person who works more from home or the one who's more computer inclined uses this one. There are a few interesting add-ons to this workstation. Drawers are always good to hide chargers, files, and office hardware, but open shelves work well too. Other ideas include setting up the peripherals underneath the desk. We've put printers, faxes and scanners there, on some shelving. They are neatly tucked away and out of sight.
2.The other main component to this workstation is the chair. If you spend hours upon hours oat your computer then we recommend using an ergonomic chair that won't wreck your back. The Herman Miller Embody chair has quickly become an Unplggd favorite for its inspiring ergonomics.
3. The computer on this workstation will be the main terminal on your network. If your peripherals, such as printers and external storage aren't wireless then they would be plugged into this.
4. The secondary desk can be setup in the same room, but we recommend that it not face the same wall. For example, we've seen great setups with two desks facing each other, a bigger one and a smaller one, or desks facing perpendicular or opposite walls. This allows each workstation access to a wall socket (hopefully) as well as storage solutions attached to the wall.
This second workstation is best suited for a laptop user and should include an external keyboard, mouse, monitor, and a docking station, if need be. Ultimately, the hardware is up to you, but we've found that working for extended hours on a laptop can get tedious. It's a welcome relief to have a bigger keyboard, real mouse and large screen space.
6. No matter what table you choose, you'll want to make sure that cables don't end up taking over a room. We recommend managing cables with either velcro ties or cable management systems, like this one from Ikea.
Additional Notes: The important thing is to regularly change positions and places if you're working from home, since you've got the luxury of doing so. With laptops, nothing is easier. Taking some time off in coffee shops is also a good idea. It breaks the routine.

A WONDERFUL draw....
Full of passion from both sets of supporters and the usual lesser team battling against the GIANTS of the Prem with rare spirit.
Form and stature go out the window in this sort of fixture.
Wonderful to watch.
And let's face it.....we ALWAYS knew the Arsenal were merely toying with Leeds for theatrical effect.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies

Fab, it's an unnecessary extra match to clog up an already congested fixture programme for us.
Shame we didn't do the business at home to ease our programme.
Well played Leeds United.... they deserve a re-match for their efforts.

I agree with that but you can't always get what you want.
Will be another great game at Leeds.
Twas refreshing to see a team FIGHT and attack as well as defend against us for a change.
(you listening Man City..Chelski..United..etc etc).
Yes, we will be fine in the replay - looks like a few of the second string need a bit of shooting practice so it will be good for them.
We had a bad day at the office , up against a team really up for it but in the end, we refused to cave in - unlike another team I can think of who faced this lot at home last year, lol!

Big News, Big Prizes
I can't believe we have reached the end of yet another Cipher Challenge! We had 4277 of you taking part in 1765 teams from 610 schools, and there were still 566 teams submitting to Challenge 7. It ws an amazing response from an amazing crowd and you should all be very proud of your achievements. Whether this was your first attempt at the competition and you cracked just Challenge 1, or you are a devoted competitor who spent hours polishing your skills this year, you have all done very well.
Winners will of course be decided after the last Challenge closes in January. It goes live today at 3.15, and I wish you all luck with it.
First prize for the best individual entry this year will be the GCHQ prize of £1,000. The prize for the best team entry, Harry's prize, will be supported by THe University of Southampton Mathematics Department, again for £1,000. Runners up prizes for the best indovidual are sponsored by Trinity College Cambridge and for the best team by IBM who have both agreed again to support the competition with prizes of £800.

We will do our best to accommodate all requests, but this is a very popular event so do apply early.
Good luck and best wishes,
Winners of Challenge 7
Challenge 7B was a beast! The AMSCO cipher is a classic pencil and paper column transposition, with a twist. As we said in the hint the other day, you can read about it at http://cryptogram.org/cdb/aca.info/aca.and.you/chapter_09.pdf#AMSCO. It was tough, but still 281 of you cracked it which really impressed us. The solution to 7A contains a lot of intel about Challenge 8 so whether or not you tackled that last week, take a good look at the solution.
If you have enjoyed the Cipher Challenge you should definitely try the Christmas puzzles set by Robert Hannigan, the Director of GCHQ. The first one is not too tough and you should all be able to crack it, after that things get really interesting. You can find the first stage at http://www.gchq.gov.uk/press_and_media/news_and_features/Pages/Directors-Christmas-puzzle-2015.aspx
If you have any other good puzzles or wondered how to send us a Christmas Card then tweet us with your messages. We love to get them!
As usual we are providing random prizes to competitors who took part in part A this time, and each of the following 8 teams will win a cheque for £25. We will be in touch by email to the address you gave us when registering, so do please check it and get back to us promptly so we can process your award.
And for the last time this year "To everyone else, there is always next week".
Good luck,
Winners of the Part 7A Prizes:
Robin Lyster, Elizabeth Perry from Matthew Arnold School
Adil Moosa from Ealing Independent College
Kush Christie-Verma, Flynn Whittaker, Tom Patterson, David Hamer, egor kaygorodov from Danes Hill Preparatory School
Jessica Richards from South Wilts Grammar School for Girls
Esther from William Farr CofE Comprehensive School
Alan King, Michael Stevens from St Nicholas Catholic High School
Rebecca Smy, Daniel Whiteley from Plume School
Siddhant Nayak, Sankarsh Makam, Alfie Cross, Jacob Spence from Bishop Wordsworth's Grammar School
Hint for Challenge 7
If you have cracked Challenge 7A you will have discovered that Challenge 7B is an AMSCO cipher. This is a column transposition cipher with a twist. You can find out how it works at http://cryptogram.org/cdb/aca.info/aca.and.you/chapter_09.pdf#AMSCO
The real security in the cipher lies in the fact that you dont know the length of the keyword, though cribs can help you to reconstruct that if you have some. If you really like a challenge you could try that first. Otherwise you could use the exceptionally useful advice from 7A where we tell you the length of the keyword. Once you have that it is possible to lay out the text in columns and use cribs and smarts to reassemble the plain text. Or it would be if you knew which of two possible conventions we have used. Pairs then singles or singles then pairs. But no hint about that I am afraid. You will have to try it for yourself.
Good luck!

"Award-winning brand design agency Sandstrom Partners announced it has completed a dramatic new package design for Portland-based distillery House Spirits' flagship product, Aviation Gin, according to Sandstrom president Jack Peterson.
House Spirits is one of the most established and fastest-growing craft-distilleries in the United States, and the company needed to establish its point of differentiation from traditional London Dry Gin.
"Up until now, gin has been a spirit closely associated with the English—London dry gin," Peterson said. "Aviation is creating the new American Gin experience, downplaying juniper and adding other adventurous botanicals such as cardamom, lavender, Indian sarsaparilla, coriander, anise, and dried sweet orange peel for a more balanced flavor. The bottle and label are designed to strikingly differentiate the brand from the pack in an American way."

"Karamelleriet is the result of two enthusiasts, a common dream, and a respect for old handcraft. This is reflected in their completely handmade products and personal production.
The new visual identity had to reflect these values while at the same time being innovative, and daring to be different. With this Karamelleriet has achieved an expression that their caramel production is the best.
The design was developed by Bessermachen design studio in close collaboration with Karamelleriet."

"The greatest challenge was to develop a new product focused on mass market for the new Brazilian consumers, offering a high-quality product but affordable cost . To achieve that results, low price, highly attractive and environmentally responsible products would be necessary. More than a classic design process, an innovation by design approach was applied. The creative team participated in all areas of the process. The naming, the packaging, formulation, business model, distribution, manufacturing, etc.
A collaborative project with the participation of all stake holders, testing several scenarios virtually and physically. Financial analysis and environmental impact were used while mockups and new tests were performed. Market researches was conducted to identify trends of habits and usage of our target consumer in parallel with trips looking forward to new production technologies."

"This project was another chance for me to work with Canon Seattle's famous Jamie Boudreau – award winning bartender, restaurateur, curator of the world's best drink selection (an actual award, 2013) and great client. I was excited to have this opportunity to dress up his signature bitters with the premium label design they deserve. An embossed, common (master) label design with write-in varietal name is flexible and affordable, while at the same time lending a hand-made touch to these authentically hand-made bitters."

"Birdy is an ecologically produced extra virgin olive oil made from olive trees in the property of 'Heredad la boquilla' located in Valencia, Spain.
We developed everything from the name, concept, product, brand, packaging design and online communications.
We wanted to find the best way to communicate the natural quality of the product. We asked, "what's more natural and free than a bird?". We decided to create the bird using wood pieces of the tangram puzzle. Simple but effective."

Thomas Gangemi, Sr. (July 29, 1903 – December 1, 1976) was the 35th Mayor of Jersey City, New Jersey. Elected in 1961, the Italian-born Gangemi was forced to resign from office less than two years later when it was discovered that he had never become a United States citizen.[1] Following his resignation, Jersey City was without a Mayor for 47 days while the city council failed to reach a consensus on a successor.[2]
Gangemi became a naturalized citizen on September 2, 1964.[3] He filed petitions to run for Mayor again in 1965, but was refused by the City Clerk and New Jersey Superior Court[4] before being allowed on the ballot (see Gangemi v. Rosengard 207 A.2d 665 (N.J. 1965)).[5]

COLUMBUS, Ohio — A Mitt Romney aide defended a campaign television ad focusing on the assertion that Chrysler is preparing to build Jeep trucks in China.
The ad has drawn widespread charges of being misleading, for providing the impression that the company would move U.S. manufacturing to China, when in fact, it's keeping the domestic workforce expands even as it builds vehicles overseas.
Obama "sold Chrysler to Italians, who are going to build Jeeps in China," the ad states, hitting the president for allowing the auto companies to go bankrupt, without mentioning that Obama also provided financial assistance to help them restructure, or that the plan is to build new Chinese plants for the Chinese market.
The campaign's defense: The ad is literally true, whatever its implications.
"What's in there that's false? Are they building Jeeps in China or not?" an aide asked BuzzFeed, breaking the campaign's silence on the ad. "I think a lot of Ohioans are wondering why we can't make Jeeps here and ship them to China, just like they are wondering why we can't make — insert product here — in this country and export them to China."
Ads providing less-than-full context are nothing new in campaigns, but this one has drawn additional scrutiny due to Romney's claim last week that Chrysler was moving all Jeep production to China — a charge leveled by conservative bloggers misconstruing a Bloomberg report,, and heatedly denied by the company.
- An earthquake that struck central Italy Wednesday has killed at least 120 people, officials say 150 people are still missing.
- Donald Trump's campaign paid a Barnes & Noble $55,055 to buy more than 3,500 hardcover copies of his book.
- Scientists found a planet "on our doorstep" that may be habitable. We could send robots to explore it in a century or so 🌍🌠

Would you want her to be in a relationship and be unhappy? Would you w want her to settle for less than she deserves? Your actions are setting examples of what she will think is right as she gets older, and believe me when I say, she notices now. She will know you are unhappy.. they can feel that kind of stuff. Get out while you can. Set the example for you daughter.

Point is think long term and how this will affect you and baby short term and long term.
I am a child of divorced parents and I think they did the right thing for me (and themselves). It did not create any trust issues with me, but my dad was always invovled and my parents were very good about respecting each other around me, much more than they would have been if they were living togther.
You need to figure out what is the right thing to do for you and then do it. If you fully believe that you are not going to be happy with him take action soon. A break would probably be easier for your daughter now than any other time in her life.

I see this SO much with my younger brother, he got married young and they both grew up and apart (and she's bipolar) he was ready to move on and they got pregnant. Since then they've stayed together, had a year separation and got back together, right not my brother told me simply if it wasn't for his son bed be done. I see how it affects their son, especially now that he's not a baby (he's 4) you daughter will know your not happy, and it will eat at you. It's not fair to your df either, move on now, you can both be in her life, you can co parent and do the best for her.

Christopher Champagne Executive Chef / Owner
Christopher Champagne grew up in Westerly and was a graduate of Johnson & Wales University in 2003 with an Associate's Degree in Culinary Arts. In 2004, he graduated with his second degree from Johnson & Wales University with a Bachelor's Degree in Food Service Entrepreneurship. Christopher's love and passion for food began at an early age. His father, Tom, was a Chef and General Manager at several local establishments. Dinner at the Champagne house was always an event and everyone helped. Christopher's aunt loves to tell the story about how at three years old, under the close supervision of his father, Christopher was standing on a foot stool at the kitchen counter chopping vegetables for dinner with a ten-inch Chef's knife. As part of an externship with Johnson & Wales, Christopher was able to work and travel through Europe. Shortly after graduating from school, Christopher left his long-standing position as General Manager at Mystic Pizza to pursue his dream to become an Executive Chef. During his first tenure as Executive Chef at Skipper's Dock in Stonington, Connecticut, Christopher took a two-week hiatus to intern at the infamous Blue Hill at Stone Farms under Chef Dan Barber, James Beard Award Winner of '2006 Best Chef New York City.' Shortly after returning from his internship, Christopher was approached to purchase the very popular 84 High Street, a long-standing restaurant in Westerly. The anticipation of owning his own restaurant was mounting and he quickly put his Entrepreneurship degree to work, raising the necessary funds for a down payment and working capital. In January 2013, 84 High Street re-located, under the new name of 84 Tavern on Canal, but is still owned and successfully managed by Executive Chef Chris Champagne.

Make sure they list the actual debt or credit card account number. My great aunt has two judgments against her, and this law firm NEVER listed the actual debt, AND THE JUDGE GRANTED IN FAVOR OF THE PLAINTIFF! I am trying to fight it now, but once a judgment is granted, more than likely, nothing will change. If you want to verify a law firm or lawyer, you can always check them online through the state in which they claim they are registered. For example, Rubin and Rothman is registered in New York, so you can check them through the New York State Unified Court System, attorney directory.
If you want to check out a corporation registered through New York State, you can check out New York State Department of State, Division of Corporations. All you have to do is check out the corporation or the individual's name to find out if they are listed as a corporation entity. If you are on fixed income, you can submit a letter to your creditor, which is called a CEASE AND DESIST notice. You have to be on judgment proof income, such as Social Security Benefits, have little or no assets (i.e., a house) where a company can place a lien on your property.
The letter has to be sent Certified, Return Receipt Requested (through the Post Office). Once this letter is sent to your creditor, they cannot harrass you. If they do, you can report them to the Federal Trade Commission in Washington, DC. In addition, if it is a law firm, you can submit a complaint to the Grievance Committee, as well as notifying the Bar Association in their local community or State. This is what I am doing now for my great aunt. Lots of paperwork, but I am hoping this stops this baracuda of a company from placing my great aunt in an early grave! Hope this helps!

"I'm a libertarian. Of course I believe in ending drug prohibition. The so-called war on drugs punishes what should not be a crime; and it does so cruelly, inhumanely, and in ways that wildly disproportionately hurt the poor and vulnerable. It leads to a militarization and securitization of our whole society; liberties are constantly sacrificed to the enforcement of drug prohibition. Indeed because drug use and sale involves no direct victims, enforcement must pretty much always be invasive; without a victim or complainant, the police must always be presuming people to be guilty, spying on them, finding pretenses to search and arrest them in order to get evidence. And this puts whole populations more or less permanently under police threat. It's not only those who are arrested and imprisoned who are made unfree by the drug war; it's all of us. And this is above and beyond the fundamental moral point that the person who ingests drugs has not violated any person's rights, and so drug prohibition violates liberty in principle as well as in practice.
"Of course, I also believe in the rule of law. We can't end drug prohibition until we've first arrested, convicted, and imprisoned all of the people currently running around who have used, bought, or sold drugs up until now. These people are present in our society illegally; legally, they ought to be behind bars, they just haven't been caught. There are possibly as many as 100 million of these illegals, given plausible estimates of lifetime marijuana use; there are certainly 20 million, given estimates of illegal drug use in the last year (minus the prison population). The rest of us have played by the rules our whole lives, and it's not fair to us that there are 20-100 million illegals competing for our jobs and crowding our cities and towns– and voting!– who shouldn't be present in free society at all. No, before we can end the drug war, we have to ensure that the rule of law is respected and people aren't rewarded for their past lawbreaking. They can't be allowed to remain in our society of free persons– and if that means building more prison walls, hiring more police, and giving them more power in the meantime, so be it."
I submit that this is not a viable, attractive, or coherent position for someone who values human liberty to hold. "I support freedom just as soon as we get around to finding and rounding up tens of millions of people, putting them on the other side of a wall with barbed wire, locks, and many many guards with guns. I oppose laws that restrict freedom, but I even more strongly oppose repealing those laws until we get around to punishing everyone who has violated them in the past. In the meantime we have to make sure that people don't get away with it." That's not a plan for getting to liberty eventually. It's a guarantee that we constantly become less free; it is always "in the meantime." In the meantime is when we should want to be free.
It seems that Jerad Miller had a long record of arrests and drug addiction. His alienation and paranoia can be seen as a natural response, in part due to being hounded by police over this. We oc course need to make drug legal and medicalize it as well as returning to providing nonpunitive custodial care for the mentally ill rather than imprisonment.
I just found this web site and didn't know another way to reach you. So forgive intrusion of another topic. I'm seeking points of convergence between Libertarianism and Progressive thought like Nader, that could be put into a joint platform. So far I had seen two common goals 1) Getting more democratic, people oriented control of the Federal Reserve and credit allocation and 2) Re-mooring American military activities to a rational and humane concept of national and world interests. Having discovered the Basic Income Guarantee endorsement of some Libertarians tells me this is a third area of convergence. Can you, or any contributors tell me whether there has been any updating of Charles Murray's "In Our Hands," or later work by any other LibertarianS? And has anyone asked the Koch's (as opposed to just assumed they would be against it?)
You may be interested in Nader's new book "Unstoppable: The Emerging Left-Right Alliance to Dismantle the Corporate State" and in his upcoming appearance at the Cato Institute to discuss it: http://www.cato.org/events/unstoppable-emerging-left-right-alliance-dismantle-corporate-state
I just emailed my 2 kids to get me a copy of Unstoppable" for Father's Day. Despite the destruction of real wages they may be able to swing it!
Any idea what the specifics? Corporate subsidies? Special interest tax loopholes?
I was dismayed to see Nader embracing Pat Buchanan style talking points on immigration recently so I hope greater restrictionism is not what he has in mind as one of the ideas.
Jerome Bigge
We need to repeal our drug laws and pardon those who were convicted of drug possession. The only ones who wouldn't be pardoned would be those who sold to children. Children, unlike adults are usually not capable of making decisions of this nature. This is the same reason why we prohibit the sale of alcoholic beverages and tobacco products to children. However adults should be capable of making such decisions for themselves with the understanding of the possible consequences.
People using drugs do not take away from my liberty
People entering the country illegaly do take away my ability as a citizen to decide how the country operates, takes from my ownership of the collective property of the country and takes from me my rights of association.
They do so in just the same way that the drug users who aren't in jail do– indeed the drug users do it moreso because they vote when in principle they legally shouldn't be entitled to, and thereby dilute your vote. The noncitizens don't vote. Everything that the migrants do by their presence (in some counterfactual state of affairs in which laws had been more thoroughly enforced, they would be absent and you'd have more lebensraum and a slightly more powerful vote), drug users also do by their presence outside of jail (in some counterfactual state of affairs in which laws had been more thoroughly enforced, they would be in prison and you'd have more lebensraum and a slightly more powerful vote).
"Ownership of the collective property of the country" and "rights of association" are utterly unviable metaphors. (They're Hoppe's, right?) States aren't in any relevant sense like condominium associations or voluntary associations.
Actually, Jacob, my rights of association include the right to associate with migrants who choose not to genuflect to the rules imposed and enforced by those who restrict the migrants' right of travel.
Yes, associational freedom are relevant in just the way you mention– and not at all in the way DJF imagines,
My right of association includes my right to associate as a collective called a country and my right not to associate with people my collective called a country votes not to associate with
And until you fake anarchists create anarchyville you have been outvoted in every country of the world since none of them have open borders and total freedom of movement.
And once you do create anarchyville you will put restrictions on outsiders too since if you give up the right to control who goes on your property you give up the right to own a property. Since ownership equals control and control equals ownership.
Associations have the right not only to define membership but also to define rules for members to follow. My religious-associational freedom includes my ability to associate with fellow believers in an association that bans masturbation or compels the wearing of 16th-century Warsaw Ghetto garb or mandates that I pray five times a day or requires me to drink ceremonial wine. Those rules are exercises of my liberty, not restrictions on it, because I submit to them associationally.
Am I to take it that you think states mandating or prohibiting sexual practices, clothing, prayers, or alcohol consumption do not violate liberty? Your right of association includes your right to associate as a collective called a country that has associational freedom to define the rules of membership?
The "right to associate as a collective called a country" is going to give the whole game away in terms of criticizing state laws as restrictions of freedom. States are *not* associations, and their rules are not the consensual rules of associations.
For the record, I am not an anarchist; and both associational freedom and property rights as I understand them include the freedom to *invite someone in.* So if I wish to marry someone, or to employ them, or to benefit from their friendly presence, you restrict my associational liberty and property rights by telling me that I may not invite them in. The right to exclude isn't somehow morally or logically prior to the right to include.
So you claim to have the right to put anyone you want onto your property, OK, lets go there, but to get them in and out of your property you need others and those people need to be negotiated with and you will not get everything you want.
You will not get unlimited access since no one not an idiot would give you the right to unlimited travel over their property. They may restrict you on when, where, with what you travel.
So reality trumps false ideology. You can't have unlimited freedom of travel since it runs into ownership of land whether individually, or partnerships, or corporations or family or country. Somebody somewhere claims ownership and they will not give away to others the fruits of that ownerships without some sort of negotiations and agreement. And some will refuse all agreements.
The world that you want to exist does not exist and cannot exist.
And even worse your ownership rights are a limited one, first being its the government which issues your property title and they can remove that title when they want. You are not a soverign individual and your property is not a soverign state.
to get them in and out of your property you need others and
If this is your argument for restricting immigration, you'd have to excuse those with ranches that border the Rio Grande from immigration restrictions. Sending a boat across the river to pick up one's friends and employees and bring them in without anyone else being involved. Also, helicopter owners. Maybe those seem like reasonable exceptions to you, but I'm guessing not.
But in anarchy land you will need the permission of the river owner. Or at least that section of river. Anarchy land being defined as no government, no borders.
So there still is no right to immigration or movement. It all has to be negotiated with your surrounding land or water owners.
Tell me how you get from Mexico City to Chicago or from Chicago to Mexico City without having to negotiate with the property owners along the way. And if they negotiate they will want something and so free movement is not free.
Getting rid of government restrictions just opens the door for individual restrictions on travel. Its the government today which puts a gun against peoples heads and says that this property is a road and that people can use it. Mass movement of people is a government issued privilege.
Your faith in the degree to which property rights will be carefully and lovingly respected under conditions of anarchy is rather touching, but beside the point. We're not talking about anarchy, we're talking about whether third parties are affected in some relevant way by my association with non-citizens on my property.
If you think this, then what are you doing here? By definition you're not a libertarian if you believe in this sort of collective decision making, and by referring to this as a "right" you show you don't even understand what libertarianism is.
Your not a libertarian either if your believe in free movement of people since where does it say in libertarian that you can demand others to allow you to move on their property. And if you can't move on other peoples property without their permission then the free movement of people is a very restricted freedom.
Your rights end where they meet someone else's nose, or in this case your right to movement ends when it meets someone else's property
Its only with nations that the elusion of free movement happens and that is with the socialist owning roads which allow government to take property and use it to move people.
It similar elusion could occur with private roads but it will not be free movement since allowing anyone to use the road will end with the owners losing control of that road.
I think you mean "illusion". But it's not one, even in a completely free society with private transportation. After all, why would someone build a road and then not want others to use it?
You talk about property rights, but you want the state to tell property owners along the border who they can allow to visit them or cross their land, and that's simply not a libertarian position.
Thanks for the spell check, I blame government schools 🙂
Four things
First, you did not ask the permission of the owner of that part of the river so that your immigrant could get to your land. Nor all the other people who own property along the way. You simply think you have a right to it when in fact you have no right at all
Second just because someone builds a road does not mean that you will have permission to use and you certainly don't have the right to use it. This all has to be negotiated. That is what the free market is, negotiation, not someone screaming "FREEDOM".
Third once you give up the idea that you have rights over other peoples property when it comes to travel, then you can get down to the serious business of the market negotiation realizing that you will not get everything you want and sometimes won't get anything you want. So no right to movement.
And very important before you can get to that you need to get rid of government, since government is defined by borders since that is what shows where government laws are applied. Only then can negotiate with individual owners, but you are nowhere near accomplishing that and so borders still exist no matter how much you yell FREEDOM. Let men know when you get rid of government and then we can negotiate about you using my land to bring in your immigrant. But I will charge so its not going to be free and maybe I will just refuse.
I realize that private roads come with tolls, just as there's a fare to ride a bus or a plane. I don't understand why you think this is such a show stopper. Nor do I understand why you think this means the state has to end altogether before one can call for an end to its restrictions on people's movement.
Not just tolls, there can be all sorts of restrictions, it all depends on what the owners want and not what you want. So you shouting 'Freedom" does not get you on that road. So you have no right to the freedom of movement that you seem to think you have. Not in a reality with State's nor in one without State's
The very definition of State includes borders. Without borders there is no State.
Also in all of history where has there been a State that does not have some restrictions on who can enter the state? If there ever was one I am betting that the open borders or the State did not last very long. And as long as State's exist they will enforce their rules and their borders.
Now in some cases the State has ways of allowing a change in policy, one way is voting and elections but you don't want to do that since it involves negotiation with others and you think that interferes with your FREEDOM. But even then just like with private land owners its going to be a rare event when they give up their right to control their property by allowing unlimited movement on that property. You give up control then next step is to give up ownership.
Cognitive dissonance.

It's pretty hilarious watching people try to conjure up deontic arguments for closed border, while still trying to keep their hymen of liberty intact.
I'm an open borders skeptic myself, but only for one reason: I can see how fragile classic liberalism is in history, and I fear it may not flourish outside of some very particular demographic and/or cultural conditions.
But I'm not going to disgrace myself by trying to reverse engineer some rights-based bullshit to defend that view.
What happens at the border is grotesque statist coercion, no doubt about it.
I'm simply willing to consider the possibility that an eventual revolution might be much, much worse.
First, I respect your honesty.
Beyond that, most Americans aren't libertarian, so I'm not sure what you're worried about. Better to let immigrants in, especially since they tend to be more inclined toward entrepreneurship than Americans are, and entrepreneurs are the ones who run headlong into the sort of externalities of the state that leads people to question its value.
That's true for the average immigrant?
Apparently so: "Immigrants today are more than twice as likely to found businesses as their native-born counterparts and are responsible for more than 25% of all new business creation and related job growth."
Thanks for the link.
Call me hard-headed but I'm still seeing a difference between legal immigrants and illegal ones. It seems like ones willing and able to go through the entire (painful) immigration process might be more intelligent than your average person.
Sean II
If I had a nickel for every entrepreneur statist I know whose statism is guided by some anti-competitive impulse arising from his entrepreneurship, then I'd have myself a fine little enterprise.
Les Kyle Nearhood
We let lots of immigrants in. We could let more in. Why do they have to be undocumented so that any criminal, terrorist, riff raff, or diseased person can enter? Open borders is a silly repugnant policy which says to people, "My worship at the alter of the individual trumps your attempt to form a safe civil environment."
Jameson Graber
Whoa whoa whoa, hold on. Do people think "open borders" means no documentation? I don't think anyone ever said that.
To me, "open borders" just means more or less what we have now, except no annual limits on how many visas we give out. In other words, let everyone in, not let everyone in without looking.
And as an open borders advocate, I don't see why we can't ask for money, either. I'd much rather ask immigrants to pay for the right to enter than to tell them they just have to wait in line.
(Heck, I have to pay a bunch of money just to get my *wife* in the country.)
Yes, no papers.
Open borders necessarily means no to the papers, please society.
The world got along just fine without immigration bureaucracies and without passports.
It did? I know a few Natives/Indians/First People/Whatever who would scoff at that one. They might not be clear thinking though.
Les, false dichotomy. Worshiping at the altar of the individual IS an attempt to neuter, if not destroy, the civilization killing totalitarianism of the state and its immigration restrictionist intellectual half-wits.
Why do they have to be undocumented
Undocumented immigration is an inevitable consequence of the supply of legal permission to immigrate falling well short of the demand for it. This is the sort of thing I'd expect libertarians to understand rather easily.
A serious and stimulating post and props for your candor.
I'd be perfectly willing to lend my support to our current system if someone said "Look what happens otherwise is we become like China under Mao." or something like that. But when you look at the massive harm the current restrictionist system imposes in the form of major restrictions on individual liberty (understood purely in negative terms, though also in positive ones) you have to present some pretty compelling evidence that the likelihood of things getting much, much worse is high. And from a utilitarian perspective you've got to contend with the massive wealth losses brought about by closed borders. I'm not saying the position that, at the end of the day, greater liberty and wealth would ultimately be lost can be dismissed out of hand of course but, well, you better have one hell of an argument.
j r
"Ownership of collective property" is an oxymoron.
So corporations don't exist?
So partnerships don't exist?
So families don't exist?
That's really dense, DJF. I mean, if you're going to distort the meaning of "ownership of collective property is an oxymoron", you could at least go with "So communes don't exist? So kibbutzim don't exist? So aboriginal societies don't exist?" You're (purposely, I'd guess) ignoring the true meaning of the claim about collective property being an oxymoron–look up the iron law of oligarchy–but at least you could use less pathetic examples.
j r
You got me. I meant in the political context.
Obviously it possible for more than one person to have ownership rights in a particular piece of property. The problem is that the more people there are, the less it means. And your desire to keep immigrants out is just as much an infringement on my freedom of association. Not sure why the anti-immigration position is automatically in some sort of privileged position.
Its not, that is why we have voting. Its not a great system but its the one we have and that is how we figure out what the collective that owns the property decides on the rules for that use.
So lets say we get rid of government, some other form of ownership will happen and there will be rules for how things are decided. But one thing is sure if there are no rules then there is no ownership and I doubt that there will be many places with no rules on travel. So free movement of people, or free immigration or any other way you put it will not happen very often.
I can't say it will never happen because I can't predict what everyone will do but its not something that is in their long term interest and so it won't happen very much
Don't forget all the people who have ever gone .01mph over the speed limit and haven't sent a check to the courthouse each time they did so.
Or that check can go to the private road owner, partnership, corporation since anyone who owns a road will set rules for that road and demand some compensation if the rules are broken.
Jameson Graber
Fantastic analogy. Though what I think is interesting is how few Americans are actually for rounding up illegal immigrants and deporting and/or arresting them. It's almost as if people want immigration to be illegal, not so that immigrants don't come, but just so they come a little slower, and so we don't have to pay them minimum wage or retirement.
Heck, it would almost be a libertarian solution, if not for all the arrests and deportations that *do* actually occur.
People don't round up illegals because the government likes private enforcement of laws even less then it likes illegals. So any private citizen who tries to stop illegals will end up in jail. The Federal government which is run by people who want more illegals in the country even stops the State and Local governments from rounding up illegals

No, I'm pretty sure most people don't go around rounding up illegals because they're normal human beings.
Only 19% of Americans think we should just deport all our undocumented immigrants.
Where is this statement from?
Bear in mind, Brat won IN SPITE of his support for immigration restriction, not because of it. Surveys show that most Republicans in that district supported bipartisan immigration proposals. Brat's emphasis on that issue has also been exaggerated.
Except if you need to chose between a survey and an election, election are what count.
If the US public was as in favor of open borders as these surveys say then it would have happend long ago. Both parties leadership are in favor of it, the press is in favor, business is in favor. So why hasn't it passed?
It because the public at the very least think its not important and the ones who think its important don't like it.
If the US public was as in favor of open borders as these surveys say
I am quite sure no remotely competent survey would suggest this. Are you suggesting that the sort of bipartisan immigration reform bill that gets kicked around from time to time is the equivalent of "open borders"?
In practice since the people who support "bipartisan immigration reform" don't intend to enforce any restrictions.
Just like the lack of enforcement of the 1986 and other immigration laws
And don't bring up the lies about Obama being "Deporter in Chief" the government lied about the data and unless you are caught right at the border your chance of being deported is very low.

The second sentence isn't meaningful empirical support for the first. Another possibility, that remains at least as plausible as yours, is that his support for immigration restrictions did help him, because Republican primary voters aren't particularly representative of Republicans more generally on many issues.
