This page was originally for quickly pasting links when there wasn't time to put them on the proper page(s).

The [[Issuepedia:Forms/v3/news/entry|link-filing form]] was intended to make that unnecessary, but is still too slow to keep up with the ever-increasing onslaught of relevant posts. We will need to develop some kind of incremental bulk-filing system which allows large numbers of links to be saved quickly and annotated later.

−
** personally, in Mr. Brooks's position, I would have said something like "This is a free country, we have freedom of speech, and I ''will ask this question'', and you ''will allow Mr. North to answer'' to the extent that he is permitted to do so." or perhaps "I am asking this question. Mr. North, what is your answer?" --[[User:Woozle|Woozle]] 10:03, 20 September 2007 (EDT)

*** During the Iran Contra hearings Congressman Jack Brooks directly asked Oliver North about a story in a Miami newspaper that exposed [[Continuity of Government (US)|COG]] plans to suspend the Constitution. There was a lot of tension in the room and the chairman stopped Brooks and said, "that goes into a highly sensitive and classified area." Brooks countered saying that he was deeply concerned because it specifically mentioned the suspension of the US Constitution, and the chairman just basically repeated himself.

Biofuels ''may'' cause land-allocation issues, but they ''can'' be resolved without exploiting anyone; if there isn't enough available land to support the growing demand, then the price should rise to the point where third alternatives become preferable.

** [[User:Woozle|Woozle]] notes: reading this sent me on a train of thought which ended with the idea that "restrictively zoned" areas where ability to farm is reduced (either by law or by practical considerations) should maybe pay some kind of food-sustainability tax to support local (i.e. close enough to be transportable by muscle power) farming... or something...
 
−
*: Though I'm hesitant to propose anything which increases the complexity of the tax system... but just because 99% of something is crap doesn't mean that it ''has'' to be crap, I guess. However, the next thought that comes up in my head is that the tax system needs to be hugely cleaned up and simplified before we start trying to use it productively... Which is a much larger problem.
 
−
*: Actually, what would be better than an ongoing tax (from a fairness POV) would be a local impact fee paid by the developer -- that's when the decision is made... though I suppose millage rates could also be scaled by "desirability of use", which would include farming. (More desirable use = lower millage rate) Here in [[Durham, NC|Durham]], there used to be an impact fee -- which had more to do with the extra infrastructure costs of supporting new developments, e.g. fire stations, police, ecological maintenance... (oh, yeah, and schools) ...but the developers are very powerful here, and managed to get that done away with. I need to write an article about that.

So local newspapers wouldn't be hit very hard, but large "trusted" newspapers would... and TV news would get clobbered. (The conclusions Rove draws, though, are still questionable at best, even if his facts were right.)

Revision as of 20:44, 4 January 2019

This page was originally for quickly pasting links when there wasn't time to put them on the proper page(s).

The link-filing form was intended to make that unnecessary, but is still too slow to keep up with the ever-increasing onslaught of relevant posts. We will need to develop some kind of incremental bulk-filing system which allows large numbers of links to be saved quickly and annotated later.
