Thank you, T,
You pretty much covered the whole transmitter ordeal. And since the FCC would not permit that by law, Odinic, your idea once again enters into the realm of conspiracy theory.

As I said before, paper money needs to be backed up by "metals [as it once was] or a system of scarcity." As T pointed out, our paper money still very much is dependant upon goods in our market. In other words, it's still driven by a system of scarcity, as I originally said.

Also, Iraq was one of our strongest allies in the Middle East at the time of Desert Storm. If they would have seized the oil fields, we would have profited since we were doing much more business with Iraq than Kuwait at the time.

CIA presence in Vietnam? What era are you talking about? Or better yet, why not find a domestic issue that would perhaps be a bit more relevant?

As for OnStar's ability to unlock and start your car; that has nothing to do with GPS. You do realize that GPS signals used by OnStar come from DoD satallites? Do you understand that the signals coming from those satallites are exclussive to GPS recievers and are not responsible for the unlocking of your car or the starting of your engine? The analogy is not apt. If you were to disable the receiver responsible for unlocking your doors, it would no longer unlock when that specific signal is sent to your vehicle.

Oh yes, and thanks for an online and out-of-date copy of the Patriot Act. Find me the section in either version where it says that law enforcement agencies are allowed to record your phone calls without monitoring them in real-time, cause I'm having a hard time finding it.
