We as Americans need to stop guzzling and wasting gas and oil, when there are other alternatives that are renewable. Public buses and such should be electric/solar powered or any other type of renewable energy to show the public that they work and are safe for all. That would then show everyone that we are ready for vehicles with the same technology. We have had such public transportation in the past, and we have always had the technology for it. Since we are in America the land of the free, we should have the choice of what kind of vehicles we want, but public transportation is funded by we the taxpayers, and should be more cost effective with renewable energies!
A law and a system should be set up to show where every constituent's tax paying money goes to down to the penny. Like a bank statement. X amount goes here, and is used for ...?

First off I mean no disrespect in this post to you in anyway personally! I did not realize that I was whining? I was only stating ideas, thoughts and facts! I DO work on our freedoms and upholding them, and I DO NOT wish to argue as it does no good...besides I am not a politician. I write, email and call many in our government, and I could tell you things that you may not believe or understand. Then again you might? The only thing in your reply that I truly disagree on is, 'such a society can never happen'. I believe in positive thoughts, and that thinking positive will bring positive. It's the same, as thinking negative will bring negative. Have you ever been in a negative phase and attracted others in the same state of mind? If we all think that it won't happen...it won't! People seem to be more worried about the so-called almighty buck, and not about the well being of each other. To those that think helping one another is non-democratic, think again. I believe we are not a true democracy; as many of our rules, laws and regulations are Not upheld for everyone. Think about Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. Did our forefathers write that for only the rich, or maybe only the corrupted? I think not, it was meant for All in America. There is nothing wrong with being rich, but when you screw over others including your own customer, that to me is very Un-American! I reread your post a few times to see if I was missing something, but it seems that you are. In my post I only stated that it is possible to track with a satellite, I never said that we are all being tracked by satellite. Those who produce or look into obtaining weapons and drugs are probably the most watched, but those who speak out in peace during times of war are also sometimes, if not always looked at. A good example is John Lennon. Why would the FBI have files on a musician/artist who speaks of peace love and humanity? So they had a file…so what? It is just information gathering as I have stated already. Governments gather information so that they can be in the know. Although sometimes the information is incorrect, sometimes it is not! It seems we also have different meanings of the word family, because I would not lie to get ahead of my brother or anyone else. It would mess with my conscience too much. If I truly am a good worker (and I am), I have no doubt in my mind that I will get any position that I seek. Some cookies are used for tracking information as well as sneaking in worms, spy ware and such, but not all of them do that! The ones that are, were created by computer people that have nothing better to do, but make problems for others. I also did not state that all software companies are tracking, but that some are for illegal and greed based purposes. I would go into more detail and name names, but I do not wish to live in federal prison! Talk about taking things out of context and meaning …"The Big Corporations & Big Government vs. the hard-working, honesty-loving, down-trodden, and good-hearted People" contest. First off life is Not a contest. Life is about learning, as well as business. Not all big corporations are misguided, and not all politicians are misguided. Some I believe start out to do good, but then things get to them and they get entwined in the big scheme of, the more the merrier with money and such things. Power hungry and greed based to me can still be learning, but one must learn the good from them. Many it seems do not…I say seems as that is what it appears to me; as from talking with some of these people and seeing them act the way they do. I over analyze and I over think quite a bit, and yes sometimes I can over look things as can anyone else. I often reread things to make sure that I fully understand, and know that there is no such thing as a stupid question. This site was set up to get the opinions, ideas and thoughts of we the people so that we can all get along and seek Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness! As far as unfair...do you like footing the bill for illegal things that are done? Suppression is big in our country, as many of us are kept in the dark. Why is there no way to see where every penny of our taxpaying money goes? Do you balance your checkbook by not knowing what is in your account? Do you like paying for health care and car payments for others when you have nothing? Do you like paying for healthcare twice? Something to think about, if you have insurance now, you are paying twice! We the government, which is; government of the people, by the people, and for the people …need to stand up and speak out and let true freedom ring. For all are created equal, and it is their choice to choose to take it! I choose to take it with the well being of all in my sights! Even the corrupted should have rights, as they need to learn too. Thank you for taking the time to speak your mind, as I hope others will do to. So I will end with Peace, Love and Empathy…and ‘There are no problems, only solutions.’

What I meant by the statement of they can see what you are reading, is that we Do have the technology to do so. It may not be used on everybody, but it is used! Further more our government and most likely every government tracks and stores information. Did you know that many people have files on them? Even more so if one speaks about peace, or whatever is against war and greed based organizations. I believe that we are all tagged in one-way or another. Just about everybody now days has some form of gps. Cars, cell phones...etc. Did you know that speakers could be used as microphones? On your TV. Sure it is considered a conspiracy idea, but is it really conspiracy? Chances are is that it is Not done to everyone, but I think many are Not in the know of themselves being monitored for unjust causes. Causes for fear of losing money. I speak out against pharmaceutical drugs, as there are other options to these. We do however live in a society that is supposed to be free, but if so then why do most insurance not pay for anything other than pharma meds? We are all stuck in this system of control with out health. Same thing with certain cell providers and Internet providers. Most if not all can be accessed for information purposes if need be. Proprietary systems include things like OS and phone technology, and things that usually have patents on them, however these things are most often manipulated and used for information gathering. Do many people know that a lot of big corporate giants are in the grasp of government use? These big corporations are sometimes dummy companies for doing these things, or are just plain in denial of such going ons! Our phone lines are monitored as well as Internet chat for certain key words. They are then flagged at different levels. This to me is ok for national security, but what about those that abuse their power in doing so? If I was using the internet to search for medical cannabis use, and my computer was logged as looking for such, am I considered by the government to be a drug user even though it is Not a drug and is used for health reasons; when no other pharma drugs work well? Our government is supposed to be We the People, yet We the People have no say in how many of our current policies, rules and laws are set up. When was the last time you filled out a survey from a political office other than just before election time? They usually rely on constituents to call or email about issues, but I figure why are we working for them, when they should be working for us? As to Us watching the watchers...did you know that to do some of the things needed to do so, that it is in some cases illegal? For example one cannot track or trace a politician, or law enforcement phone call or email without committing a federal crime. Yet they can track us without just cause! I would not believe it myself, but I have seen the proof. I am in No way against the government or paranoid of the government, but I am Not for corrupted government! Our government spends millions and even billions or dollars on top-secret black projects. How do we know that our tax paying money (which is funding) is being spent in good faith. Why are we spending money on weapons and destruction, and not on defense things that would immobilize these weapons? We DO have the technology, but since suppression seems to blanket our government and the world, these things do not come about. A good example is Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla. Many are taught in school about Edison, but not many are taught or even know of Tesla. A lot of Tesla tech is in use today and much more will come about with time. He made robotics, neon lights, ac brushless motor, the tesla coil, wireless technology, radio, and many more things possible. Free energy could have been possible, but to get rich utility companies kept that from ever happening. I am disgraced by how many people in our world seem to revolve around money instead of love and well-being! Most seem to have love for money, and that to me is really sad. Sorry if I strayed off subject a bit, but I feel that all of these issues tie in together in one way or another. May we all eventually see the truth and really be Free! Peace to you all worldwide!

We already contribute to it, yet buses are not everywhere like they should be! Alternative energy public transportation should be made available to all. I agree with the small payment even if it is .50, it is better than nothing. It would be added to our tax paying money that is supposed to be going towards things like that. No gas would be needed for the buses, but maintenace and drivers are needed. In my home state of Michigan I called a political office and asked how could we get more buses in our state, and I was told 'We are the automotive state and we do not what them.' Funny as I do not remember EVER seeing a a survey asking such.

Nikola Tesla actually did know how to make it work...he and his ideas are mainly supressed due to corporations and greed based policies. He even lit up bulbs wirelessly! The general public would be shocked and saddened at how much he was for the betterment of humanity, but his ideas were either stolen or hid! Free energy does exsist and is possible but utility companies will see that it never exsists because they think the dollar is almighty. How sad our country and world is...I wish the world would wake up and realize what life is really all about, because it is Not about money!

Any information collected should be made available at all times to the user that the info was collected on without all of the long fine print documents which confuse things! It should just state...we have this info on you it was or is provided to here?...here is what we have...

Get used to tracking it has been here a looong time! Satelites if needed can focus on you reading a paper on a bench in the park. Most of us carry cell phones which all have gps that can Not be shut off unless you hack the phone to do so. You can be located at any time if needed! How do we know that immunization shots don't have trackers in them...after all we do have nanotechnology, and just about everyone has had one or more of these shots. Just something to think about...I don't care who knows what site I am on, but if they just asked me I would tell. Also if one is really scared of such use different computers and use aliases! I personally do Not care who tracks me...bring it on if they think they are smart enough!...lol

If renewable energies where made cheaper and easier to obtain to all Nuclear plants would not be needed! Wind, solar even lunar! If one has solar panels or wind towers and you make more than you use the electric company pays you for your energy, but the main problem is the cost of setting up your own solar/wind collectors. Nuclear is Not the answer. If terrorism is what scares people then why use dangerous things like nuclear? They are not as safe as you think! As far as free energy why not use that. Why is Nikola Tesla's ideas and inventions supressed because of money issues? Our own earth is a big ball of energy yet we do not tap into it because of greed based utility companies. This whole planet needs to wake up and see what is really here!

Wifi is available at most libraries and many stores now days. Mcd's, Starbucks...etc. I think all libraries should be upgraded and made more aware to citizens about internet availability and how to use if need be. Public transportaion should be made available to all so that everybody has a way to get there...for not all libraries are close to all!

I think in that case the BBB would either need more jurisdiction or work with appropriate agencies. Also the BBB goes by how many people report about said company. Unfortunately the little people as we are considered do not seem to matter to corporations and where can we really go to receive help. I also have reported a few companies corrupted practices, but nothing to this day is done about it. They still rip people off. I am told that they are in the system, but it seems that this so called system does not work. We need to put into action a system that upholds all rights as we the little people have no real voice in the matter I think.

My only response to this is how can one find anyones birth certificate? I can't find mine publicly! Or is it out there? Where does one look to find it?

I think this is a great idea as most politicians do not put out surveys and only go by what we the people want by us calling and sending letters and emails. Why don't they work for us? They should be willing to ask us what we want, not the other way around!

I just want to say to those who are not computer literate that most libraries have internet access and usually help those who need help in understanding how to get online. Maybe all libraries should receive funding to upgrade and widen their computer labs, and classes?

I do not quite understand what Robert is talking about ... 'IF the larger public discovers this website, something the Administration appears to be hoping will not happen, this system will both crash and become so bogged down in minutia as to be relatively useless.'

I have been letting everyone I know about this site, so as for Administration not wanting it to happen...sorry. Also why would the site crash because of multiple votes? Yes it will have a lot of suggestions, which maybe a posted idea about how to handle that could be put on this site? When We the People all speak up and out...Government will have no choice but to listen and act accordingly! The more votes and ideas we get on here the more they will realize that things need to change.

Spread the word to everyone about this site, and to the Administration make a site that deals with issues other than Transparency so that We the People can be heard. I am sick of making useless phone calls and letters and emails that are destroyed or ignored! Listen up we can all solve things together...not apart!

I can only guess that the people who vote against things in this site and do not leave any comment are either corrupted, liars, of just simply did not understand what was said and maybe did not care to say why, which really does no good! If one is not for something speak out about it so that we can all understand why. This is about discussions and suggestions!

I type with only 2 fingers although I have all of my fingers, but I understand what you mean. Actually there is software called Dragon Naturally Speaking that automaticly types what you say. It would be nice if there was more than just that software to choose from. Also the price is a bit up there..$100-$200 depending on where you buy it from! The translation software would be really good, mostly because legal and government documents I think are meant to confuse people so that they don't question it. Maybe a software programmer on this site could start on such programs and make them open source and/or freeware?!

The only thing that bothers me is, what if these containers somehow exploded on the moon? Would we have no moon left? Would radiation permeate space, where would it go?

The only problem I see with this would be unlawful hackers stealing or changing votes. If such a system was made possible...computer hacking laws should be upheld, such as hacking into a voting system one should be held accountable before society so that they can explain why they did what they did. We do Not need another 2000 election mishap!

These are all great ideas, and please forward this website to as many people as you can so that more people can comment and vote on this!

I am not for democrats or republicans, I am for whoever stands for the well being of all, and for upholding life. liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That being said politics seems to be just about pointing fingers and not doing anything to fix it. I have called many political offices, and usually they point fingers also. It is time for our country to grow up and act like adults even more so for our politicians. I am Not interested in what party anybody is for as long as they are for well being I am for them!

I myself currently do not watch the news, because it is not news. Most of it is opinions, lies, and supression. When we really have a free press, then perhaps I will watch it again!

I believe hard copies such as with newspapers should be paid for, but electronic forms should be free. After all there is a cost for paper and ink!

From talking to many people in our country, I have found that many do Not know where our tax paying money really goes to. I also have called many different political offices, and they cannot tell me either. To show that our government actually cares, something like this should be set up to see.
