 * Background on Osama bin Laden: "He was a CI (asset) for the CIA to help the Cold War battle of Russia on the Afghanistan front. Him and his people were given and trained to use "Stinger" missiles to help battle the Russian gunships. It changed their war dramatically. The 'enemy of our enemy is our friend' scenario was played out and he turned against the U.S. once we had no use for him. He/they got pissed and wanted more. Lesson learned? Don't f*ck with U.S. Unfortunately they still have them though."

 * unsympathetic valley:
 * Assumption A is that anyone who is able to work can find a job -- people seem to cling to that one in the face of all evidence to the contrary. I'm not sure how to present it more persuasively.
 * Assumption B is that only people who are able to work need to have an income -- or, at least, that there's some "unsympathetic valley" in between being _incapacitated*_ and being _employable_ -- where it's somehow your own fault that you can't get a job.
 * (*although lately there's been increasing hostility against people who are clearly incapacitated in some way, _even if_ they happen to be earning a living... but I digress).
 * Maybe people in the "unsympathetic valley" -- those who are willfully ignorant, unpleasant to be around, or just plain incompetent by nature -- shouldn't have the _same_ quality of life as those who are well-liked, competent, and so on -- but (a) if we cut them off from legitimate means of survival, they are likely to seek _illegitimate_ means (crime, con artistry, etc.); and (b) do we really want these people doing work which they'll probably screw up somehow?

 * Misunderstanding High Wages
 * The article is obviously a bit biased... but useful as an example of why capitalists think high wages are necessary, I guess ...except that I can't find the actual argument. It talks about Trader Joe's paying clerks $40k -- seems reasonable (that's a little below the mean US household income, iirc) -- as if this is evidence of something, but then never gets around to explaining the connection to high executive salaries.?

 * Reasons why GMO is unsustainable:
 * Patented seeds mean that farmers can't legally save seed stock for the next planting.
 * Soil infertility due to the chemically-intensive nature of GMO farming. (Glyphosphate herbicide is particularly problematic.)
 * Loss of biodiversity (aka monocropping) increases the likelihood of a single-point failure mode (a single disease can destroy more crops).
 * Terminator seeds mean that seeds collected from this year's crop are infertile and cannot be replanted.
 * Centralization harms resiliency and gives the GMO seed producer too much unaccountable power.

 * https://plus.google.com/u/0/102227800261183349957/posts/VeesxLZWLAp "Apple avoided paying billions of dollars in U.S. income taxes. A Senate investigation found the tech giant parked overseas about $102 billion of its $145 billion in cash. A subsidiary in Ireland that earned $22 billion in 2011 paid only $10 million in taxes, according to the report by the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations. “It is a total scam,” Sen. Bernie Sanders told Ed Schultz on Tuesday. “It’s not just Apple. Virtually every major multi-national corporation has used these offshore tax havens,” Sanders added. He has introduced legislation that would take away the tax breaks and yield $600 billion in revenue over a decade."

It interprets acts of conscience and heroism by Assange and Manning as misguided or criminal. It holds up the powerful—who are responsible for the plethora of war crimes Manning and Assange exposed—as, by comparison, trustworthy and reasonable."

Alternative definitions

 * Capitalism: the idea that those who work the least should benefit the most
 * Property: a state-enforced monopoly on the use of land
 * Employee (n): income dependent
 * Tax loophole (n): wealth entitlement
 * maybe these can be adapted:
 * freedom: allowing corporations and banks to pollute the environment and steal from the middle class
 * traditional values: women and gays are second-class citizens
 * entitlements: not earned benefits that you've paid into your entire life, but disincentives that magically make you lazy

Rules for online debate, in a nutshell:
Links point to web pages. The web pages contain arguments. (An argument is one or more statements showing a logical connection between a given set of evidence and a given conclusion.)

You may accept the arguments as valid, or you may criticize them for using either bad logic or incorrect starting facts.

If you make either of these criticisms, then we either have to (a) accept that the page's argument is invalid, or (b) show how _your_ criticism (which is also an argument) is invalid, using the same criteria (bad logic or incorrect facts).

These rules are symmetrical; you can present evidence from web sites as well, and the same process applies.

It's considered good form to summarize the argument -- or, more to the point, the specific _applicable_ argument(s) one wants to highlight -- from a linked web page when one posts it.

It doesn't negate your argument if you _don't_ do this, but in my view if person A posts a link, person B asks for a synopsis (summary of the argument), and person A refuses to provide one, then that does seriously weaken person A's position.

slightly shorter
An argument is a logical statement starting from one or more premises and reaching a conclusion.

As such, any argument may be criticized on the basis of either (a) starting from false premises or (b) using faulty logic.

This technique constitutes a first-pass rationality test.

If two articles contradict each other and yet both pass the first-pass test, then it may be necessary to see where they differ and seek further evidence to resolve the discrepancy.

The same rule applies if an otherwise-rational article disagrees with your own beliefs.?
