Ineptocracy. The bigger the government , the more incompetent they get. There are calls for One World Government. Massive inept bureaucracy. Do you really trust some bozo on the other side of the world who has no idea of local conditions and sensitivities to tell you what to do in every aspect of your life? Their only "qualification" is that THEY think they know what is best for YOU.You think the western world's big governments are inept, a world government will be exponentially more inept. Bureaucrats are the ones who should be culled.

Politics-a dirty business. To want to block the story is censorship. Freedom of expression is paramount. It is not suppression of the story for national security, it is suppression for political security.The slippery slope to socialism here. Here in Australia, we had the Prime Minister ring one of our conservative press newspapers to PERSONALLY threaten the entire organisation with being nuked if they printed a story of her past unethical/criminal behavior.The evidence is very compelling-I have had the opportunity to see the documents, the smoking gun so to speak. The Australian newspaper was forced to sack Glen Milne to stop him putting out the story.It is an offense under Australia law to use a carriage service for such threatening action. Once again, not national security, but their own political security. Here in Australia, we are rapidly heading away from Democracy. In the US, you had better get rid of Obama before he destroys you. The Republicans too have their fair share of traitors, so perhaps a vote for a TEA Party representative will rattle the cages of the mainstream politicians. Remember, political slur is just that-slur. Have you given any thought to "redneck" comments as being a political stunt to discredit?
Every politician deserves two terms- the first in power, the next in jail.
Politicians are like diapers. Both need to be changed regularly and for the same reasons.

Gross invasion of privacy.If this happened to a commoner, with invasive photos published, there would be damages payable, incarceration and possible incarceration, so why should this not occur in this case. In days of old, the perpetrators would have been subjected to a death most vile as a warning to others what happens to traitors.The punishments included hang, draw and quarter and burning at the stake.Mind you, the fact that people WANT to see this stuff brands us as voyeurs.

If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. The internet is becoming stuffed full of scams and they are becoming more sophisticated. The days of the totally obvious scams will soon be numbered to be replaced with fake web sites, offices, fake feedback and reviews. This is one reason why the US MUST continue NASA funding. If rocket scientists become redundant and through necessity to put food on the table turn to cyber crime, I predict some pretty sophisticated internet scams that will fool anyone but a rocket scientist:D.

You have conveniently forgotten the "there will be no carbon tax under a government I lead" blatant lie. If the circumstances have changed, then why was the carbon tax bill rammed through parliament? The justification for ramming through the bills is that there had been enough discussion on climate in the past. So it looks like our PM had already made up her mind when she LIED to get elected. Who knows what deals were made with the independents, but the primary votes for Gillard in 2 of those seats were among the LOWEST in the country. Those independents are NOT representing the views of those who elected them.Remember, House of Representatives means they represent the views of their electorates. How would you feel if the politicians you elected turned around and supported the other side? The government was not elected in good faith. I think you have rose coloured filters over all of your lenses.

The whole concept smells like the old 110 format film SLR from many years ago, which was more a novelty than a serious camera .I would have thought that any photographer who is willing to carry around and change lenses frequently would want the quality of a decent sized sensor. When I want a compact high quality camera, I pinch the wife's Lumix. Given that most buyers would want to use their existing glass, the advantage of a super compact body is lost. I believe the Q will be a flop. Shame it was not made in APS C format as a compact alternative to a DSLR. What was going through their minds when they came up with this?
