Anonymous Coward User ID: 61290381 United States 07/28/2015 10:52 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This is a nice idea, well written, The problem is, you, I , all of GLP does not have the kind of money required to buy off the politicians who would be instrumental in passing this proposed bill. I have lost all faith in government, voting, or any idea that we the people can affect change without some sort of revolution. |
Tabitha (OP) User ID: 66845222 United States 07/28/2015 10:59 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Kinda kidding.... Anyway.... I am of the clearly delusional opinion, that enough voices will eventually force the hand of the powers that be. So, in that totally batshit vein, I propose polls, petitions, hand-written letters, etc.... totally pestering the fuck out of our dearly elected representatives. I understand your pessimism, completely. I had a dream this morning though that kind of pushed me into this. It's funny how the mind works.... P.S. Don't give up. I should have. Long ago. I haven't. Yet. |

The previously stated means of testing and vetting shall happen in the order written with no technology moving to the next stage of vetting before approval of the previous. In addition, all members, at all levels, of any involvement in the vetting process may not have received funds, employment, special access or privileges from any petitioner or related interests on issues for which they shall vote." This part would need to be written to the effect that the vetted peoples would have had NO ties to any industry even before the vetting process. Spouse, brother in law, etc. We have seen with politics that family members are paid off for politicians, to keep things hush hush. The Detroit Kwame scandal is an example. He had all manners of cronies in all manners of positions- so deep, that even though he has been in prison for a few years now, the money is still hidden, and the corrupt are sill hiding in positions of authority. The vetted would need to be COMPLETELY neutral, in my opinion. |

Tabitha (OP) User ID: 66845222 United States 07/28/2015 11:14 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | How's this? "In addition, all members, at all levels, of any involvement in the vetting process may not have received funds, employment, special access or privileges from any petitioner or related interests on issues for which they shall vote. Furthermore, no voting member shall have any ties, either familial or financial, to any petitioner, at any time in the past, present or future. If said tie lies within the unknown future, severe penalties must be enforced upon their eventuality, to dissuade such conduct." |
Glass Shield User ID: 61290381 United States 07/28/2015 11:16 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The purely existential and real threat of these technologies necessitates said unprecedented measures. Examples of these threats include complete world killers, environment killers, society killers, food supply killers, water supply killers, weapons of mass destruction, and many, many more severe issues that encompass threats the human race has never faced in the entirety of it's existence. Quoting: Tabitha If, any of the above mentioned fields' emerging, current or past advances might cause harm to human life, the environment, the ecology of the planet or areas within, societal balance, peace, or the ongoing safety of human and animal life on the planet Earth, it must forevermore become illegal and untouchable. Once a technology or methodology has been effectively banned, penalties of the highest order must be implemented in order to dissuade others from their pursuit. A bill like this would give us the chance to fight back. Monsanto, Oil Drilling, HAARP, CERN, Fracking- all of these industries would or could be challenged under this wording. Once again, it all comes down to the money. How would we pay off the politicians? |
Glass Shield User ID: 61290381 United States 07/28/2015 11:17 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Good point. Quoting: Tabitha 66845222 How's this? "In addition, all members, at all levels, of any involvement in the vetting process may not have received funds, employment, special access or privileges from any petitioner or related interests on issues for which they shall vote. Furthermore, no voting member shall have any ties, either familial or financial, to any petitioner, at any time in the past, present or future.

Time is short on making a change. I do not trust that "we the people" matter anymore, or that our politicians are not corrupt. |

Tabitha (OP) User ID: 66845222 United States 07/28/2015 11:32 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Yes, tech IS scary. I grew up with it and have been in it's trenches for way over a decade. The speed at which things are progressing is absolutely terrifying. I don't know jack about getting a bill to congress but I do know about planting seeds of thought. I have been given the gift of the written word and I must, at least try, to use it to some effect. I truly would love feedback, much like yours, that improves upon my initial idea. If enough people contribute or care about this, perhaps we can plant the seed in the minds of the decision-makers. I don't care who they are or what party they represent. The important thing is making them listen..... What we don't know, would fill a small universe. Hell, it would fill 50 large multiverses. Basically, we're idiots. |
