    Close, Radish. The Mormons apparently have one of the largest ‘populations’ of people speaking at least one language other than English. Because their missionaries travel world wide during their period of service, the military has built a language school near Salt Lake City. Having this data pool/lake/ocean near to people who can read and understand information drawn from that pool would be a useful thing.Next big conspiracy scandal – Mormons use access to Prism data to take over the country!The new data station being built is supposed to be able to hold enough info to fill 270 TRILLION CDs. Zegabytes?Respectfully,C.

    I may have misunderstood the newscaster, he may have simply said “discs” without being specific. Good point. Thank you.The Mormon comment was a joke. Under another toon, you said folks who haven’t done anything wrong have nothing to fear. You are generally correct, and under the protocols as described, no harm is done. It is when data is accessed to use for coercion of any kind. Therein lies the threat, and it should be easy for all of us to agree the watchers must be watched. If this ‘pool’ was used for fishing expeditions, then it is being abused. Snowden didn’t say it had been, only that it could be so used.As far as what the dog does with a caught car… Depends on the fight in the dog, and the size of the car. be well.C.

    Dude, that was a pretty bigoted comment there.[]And it has virtually nothing to do with the cartoon in question.[]As it is, []1. As Respectful Troll noted, Utah is home to a large pool of people who have both college educations and fluency with two or more languages. Couple this with the fact that Mormons are required to live a set of high personal standards, and I think you can understand why the government wants to hire them. Only Clinton seemed averse to Mormons. []2. Hill AFB is positioned in just such a fashion that the pilots stationed there can train in a wide variety of terrain types all at once: ocean (the Great Salt Lake), forest, desert, mountain, urban, and snow. []3. Tooele Army Depot and Dugway Proving Grounds were created to take advantage of the fact that the southwestern corner of the state is desert. []4. The church actually blocked an attempt by the Reagan Administration to establish an ICBM base in the state on the basis that they didn’t want Utah tied to the military machine any more than it already was.

    Why would Romney be involved in something like this?[]If you’re going for “Well, Romney is Mormon, so…”, then yes – that was a bigoted statement you made.

    “In Utah, on a military base. Did Romney have anything to do with that?”#Wait, isn’t the entire Sate of Utah one humungous Military Base with an electrified fence enclosing it? That’s what my Morman Brother tells me. “It’s for our own good!” he says.

    Well, he does have primary residences in several states. Primary residence = tax deduction.

    the mainstream (lamestream) media is acting like this is brand new and that it is news.It is neither.

    I sure am aware of that. They like to say it’s liberal, but knowing which million/billionaires own the media tells a lot right there.one of Fox’s administrator admits to be doing “mischief” by telling as true, something he .thought was "far fetched "

    No, my motivation is as stated: pointing out the fact that your little “Romney” bit is ignorant.

    You forget that Harry Reid is also Mormon, and yet most Mormons I’ve met want nothing to do with him. []Again – presuming that Romney would do something for the church simply because he’s Mormon is somewhat ignorant unless a person can back it up.

    I can spot a troll from many great lengthes, but the plutocrats made me have poor health and also they own the conservative media. I’m a writer so you are wrong. Please have respect for others next time, thanx.

    A picobyte is a trillionth of a byte, which the plutocrats made mathematically impossible, so i’m a writer so its a joke not an embarrassing mistake. I am known for being RIGHT.
