Be aware of those who say the United States is a democracy. The United States is a constitutional republic. Our system of government was never intended to be a democracy.

If enacted, sections 1031 and 1032 of the NDAA would:
(1) Explicitly authorize the federal government to indefinitely imprison without charge or trial American citizens and others picked up inside and outside the United States;
(2) Mandate military detention of some civilians who would otherwise be outside of military control, including civilians picked up within the United States itself; and
(3) Transfer to the Department of Defense core prosecutorial, investigative, law enforcement, penal, and custodial authority and responsibility now held by the Department of Justice.

I sure hope the people in the occupy movement keep their cool and don’t resort to violence, or we can see something like this happening again. Although I do believe there should be some prosecuting of the officers involved in the Occupy Oakland incident.

Peter Schiff is trying to clear up some misunderstandings happening in OccupyWallStreet. I think this is some great dialog happening in this video. It’s time for us the people to restore the Supreme Law of the Land and exercise our rights in this Constitutional Republic.

One of the best take aways from this years’ Web2.0Expo/NY for me was the introduction to CoffeeScript. This was done during The New Startup Stack workshop by Trevor Burnham. Which he runs us into a quick overview of CoffeeScript, Node.js and MongoDB.
If you have an understanding of JavaScript and has not seen CoffeeScript yet, it will behoove you to watch this video by Bodil Stokke. By the end of the video you’ll want to run through Trevor’s slides and set your environment up to run Nodelicious.
I truly believe CoffeeScript is the future of JavaScript, and I don’t seem to be the only one.
