If you do three things, just three things in life, you will not be poor. Those three things, should be taught to every kid from Kindergarten to High School.

What if it was really that simple?

I know this is not a direct citation but an article about a report but it's the best I could find so far.
http://jacksonville.com/opinio...

Brookings whittled down a lot of analysis into three simple rules. You can avoid poverty by:

1. Graduating from high school.

2. Waiting to get married until after 21 and do not have children till after being married.

3. Having a full-time job.

If you do all those three things, your chance of falling into poverty is just 2 percent. Meanwhile, you'll have a 74 percent chance of being in the middle class.

Applies to everyone
These rules apply to all races and ethnic groups. Breaking these rules is becoming more commonplace, unfortunately, for all racial groups.

By contrast, young adults who violated all three norms -- dropped out, got married before 21 and had children out of wedlock and didn't have a full-time job -- had a 76 percent chance of winding up in poverty and a 7 percent chance of winding up in the middle class.

Did you ever think why monogamy was not the norm in pre-industrial societies? Perhaps it was this lack of family structure that kept them from advancing. And saying people "do fine" without a single partner is either a snapshot of their life before the downward spiral, or the 10% or so that were smart enough and/or had enough of another family structure to prevent their fall. Society is not so fragile that a few people with bad behaviors can bring it down. If there is a widespread loss of the family structure then society can spiral into crime and poverty for everyone.

This need for a monogamous relationship is not "obsolete" or "old fashioned", it's the societal structure we've evolved into. Given enough time we might see humanity and society evolve into something else but that's not going to happen in a couple generations. Families relying on daycare and babysitters is likely quite dangerous to society. Children need guidance, not just a someone to warehouse them during the day while the parents go off to work. The best guidance, with rare exceptions, comes from the parents. And children need male and female guidance. They need to learn from both. Children with a single biological parent in the house have very high tendencies for crime, especially men. Women with a single biological parent raising them tend to have children before getting married, therefore raising children with a criminal tendency.

This is not racial, but we do see certain races falling into poverty more than others. Lots of people came up with lots of reasons to describe the cause of this. In general though it is cultural. There is a culture in some communities that do not see a problem with children before marriage, do not see the value in an education, and lack a work ethic. Break this cycle of poverty by social pressure, not government policy (though government policy does reflect societal norms), and once the cycle is broken there is a built in mechanism to prevent it from coming back.

If the argument was that Al Gore had a particularly high level of environmental impact relative to his wealth and other factors worthy of consideration (his job, where he lives, etc), then that would absolutely be grounds for charges of hypocrisy.

They already tried that, with their campaign about houses. It was making the rounds a few years ago, but is now shockingly obsolete.

They don't even like hearing that Bush moved to a new house, or that if Al Gore wants, he could pay for dozens of homes to be improved to save more energy than shutting down his house.

Her tenure on the Watergate Commission was not an aberration, it was a preface to her life.

What tenure on the Watergate Committee? As a low-ranking staffer? All you have is a decades later accusation without corroborating facts.

That that is what you base your own premises upon, reflects more on you than her.

Which is kind of Ironic, since Hilary was fired for creating a fraudulent brief during the Watergate investigation.

I don't see most people who preach about this stuff living like they believe it. I see them wanting to legislate and tell everyone else how to live.

For example, well, you know.

If you think this makes a car too expensive, what price do you put on accidentally running over a human being?

This article says it will save (max) 15 deaths/year at a (min) cost of $132/vehicle. With 15.6 million vehicles sold in the US last year, that implies a >$137 million dollars per death avoided. That's way above the $6million you referenced.

At any rate, it certainly seems that if we're going to spend >$2 billion dollars, we should able to save more than 15 lives with it. But no... some mum went to Washington and proclaimed it should "never happen again", so we get this crap. (Granted, my analysis isn't including injuries... that could swing the balance.)

I have no idea where they get ideas like that. Oh maybe situations like this? http://www.abc4.com/content/news/top_stories/story/conceal-and-carry-stabbing-salt-lake-city-smiths/NDNrL1gxeE2rsRhrWCM9dQ.cspx or http://jacksonville.com/news/crime/2012-08-28/story/customer-kills-gunman-during-jacksonville-robbery-attempt or http://archive.lewrockwell.com/spl4/heroic-armed-citizen.html or http://mountainview.patch.com/groups/police-and-fire/p/armed-attempted-robbery-thwarted-by-brave-victim-wtih-bb-gun#photo-4081472

Are you kidding?

Nope. I've never heard of this. Now maybe I just had my head under the sand all this time, but I'd still like to read an article from a reputable source that backs this claim. That's not too much trouble is it?

Not at all. Short summary. Your state might (or might not) require you to write a check for an unpaid sale/use tax (specific to your state and county) whenever you order something online (unless the seller/retailer collects that tax for you.) An even shorter summary: if the seller (either in person, online or through a sales/order magazine) doesn't collect a sale/use tax from your purchase, chances are you are obligated - by the laws of your location - to calculate that tax and mail it to your local/state tax collection agency.

Google to the rescue:

At the federal level, with the onus on the seller:

Internet Sales are Taxable Misinformation about laws such as the prohibition of the taxation of Internet access (Internet Tax Freedom Act) and limiting sales tax on interstate sales have lead some to incorrectly believe that Internet sales income is not subject to income tax.

An online business may be subject to liabilities for income tax, self-employment tax, employment tax, or excise tax. Your sales may result in capital gains, nondeductible personal losses, or you may have ordinary business income.

At the state/local level, similar sales taxes on income might apply to an online seller. In addition to that (and unlike the federal level), a state or local government might require a *sales* or *use* taxes on the purchaser (including on online purchases of items), *and might require the seller* to collect that on the state/county's behalf. In our case here in FL, we pay a between 6% and 7% depending on the county.

http://dor.myflorida.com/dor/taxes/sales_tax.html

Sales Tax

Each sale, admission charge, storage, or rental is taxable unless the transaction is exempt. Sales tax is added to the price of the taxable goods or service and collected from the purchaser at the time of sale. Florida's general sales tax rate is 6 percent.

Use Tax

Use tax is due on the use or consumption of taxable goods or services when sales tax was not paid at the time of purchase. For example:

If you buy a taxable item in Florida and didn't pay sales tax, you owe use tax.

If you buy an item tax-exempt intending to resell it and then use the item in your business or for personal use, you owe use tax.

If you buy a taxable item outside Florida and bring or have it delivered into this state and you didn't pay sales tax on the item, you owe use tax.

Although this particular, state-specific tax regulation does not make any explicit mentioning of online sales or purchases, it is inclusive for all state sales and purchases unless explicitly stated as exempt.

http://jacksonville.com/news/florida/2011-08-11/story/florida-wants-collect-its-sales-tax-online-buys

Just because there isn't a Florida sales tax charge on certain online purchases doesn't mean the buyer doesn't owe the tax. Though many buyers don't know it, they are on the hook to scratch a check to Tallahassee for 6 percent of the purchase or pay it online. Consumers voluntarily paid about $8.7 million last year - pennies on the dollar compared to the $1 billion to $2 billion some estimate goes uncollected every year.

Still, the chance of Fl

You've noticed the vanishing party affiliation phenomenon. This appears most blatantly when a leftist politician is the subject of some scandal; you may search high and low but you won't find the party affiliation mentioned by the media. That is left exclusively to the detractors, who are then found to be 'uncivil' or some such.

Given the current disposition of the US congress, the same bias manifests itself as using the term "congress" only when the malcontents are pleased. All other times we get "house republicans."

They know you notice. They just don't give a damn.

Indeed.

Meanwhile, here & Clay county they don't have enough money to pay for the public schools. Next school year when a teacher is out, instead of getting a substitute, they will split the class & send them to another teacher's class for the period.

But oddly enough Clay County has money to spend on ridiculous billboards for the Clay County sheriff's office. There are 5 or 6 of them, at least two of them on Blanding Blvd, which is one of the the busiest roads (therefore expensive) in both counties.

From the fine article: "There's moderate demand for ads based on ethnic information, but the companies acknowledge that determining ethnicity is more challenging than figuring out gender and age range."

I imagine "challenging" here may include legally challenging as much as technically challenging; I can imagine a risk of discrimination lawsuits from advertising certain products more heavily to blacks than to whites.

Or maybe from the computer's point of view, we all look alike to them.

Who can forget this guy who claimed to be able to boost the speed of data transmission across plain copper wires by 1000x, even 4x faster than fiber? He'd "prove" his invention by apparently streaming perfect, full-motion video across ordinary modem lines, and received millions in funding. Later, it was found out that he was simply using VCR playback on a very long cable. :-)

Here's an article about the ban.

To be fair, what I've read about it in comparatively nonbiased sites, it sounds like he had an airplane junkyard in his front and back yards: several planes in various states of disrepair/disassembly, that he was using as donors for another project that was shaping up in the driveway.

I have no problem with people making airplanes at home -- hey, I'm going to do the same thing. But I'm pretty irritated at my neighbors for having multiple dead cars on bricks in the front yard. How is dead airplanes any better? At least put up a fence and don't rivet at 2 AM. (He was also accused of late-night noise, and bucking rivets *is* mindblowingly loud.)

When I was at jacksonville.com (the Florida Times-Union Website) the Jaguars had just come into being. Obviously the local paper was going to cover them. Two issues came up: As part of our server farm, we named our servers, "entertainment.jacksonville.com," "lifestyle.jacksonville.com," "business.jacksonville.com," etc. Because we knew the Jags site would be so popular, we didn't put it on sports.jacksonville.com. Instead it went on jaguars.jacksonville.com. The Jags and the NFL threw a fit, claiming that we were doing it in an effort to capitalize on the names (nevermind that we had server logs from more than a year prior showing our naming convention.) For the outcome, go to http://jaguars.jacksonville.com/ ... It's still being used 10 years later.

The second was they were having a fit because we were shooting pictures of the game and posting them to the site. Not in real-time. After the game. As part of our coverage. Our publisher agreed to stop doing so ... in exchange, the paper wouldn't write any articles about the team.

So there we were, two days later, posting pictures to the site ... ;)

> The desire for greater control over how search engines index and display Web sites

Then design your sites better. Seriously. When I was on the team that launched http://jacksonville.com/, we spent a decent amount of time thinking about how to optimize our site for search engines, and that was 10 years ago. Too much showing? Not enough showing? Spend more time developing and designing your site ... instead of trying to emulate your print product (ahem ... *cough http://nytimes.com/ cough*)

You probably missed the news then, because congress just had the very first override of a presidential veto over a big water infrastructure bill, said bill being so important the bulk of the nations governors and senators and reps are mostly for it and it isn't because the water system is in great shape and they want to just polish the chrome faucet handles. And you probably have been missing the news of the huge droughts all over and how we don't have good enough storage capacity, and how the big everglades reclamation effort(the Florida water sponge) is stalled dead in the tracks from lack of funding, even with the new bill passed.

Really, I am not blowing smoke here, the national water infrastructure is severely stretched right now, google is your friend there,all over the nation really, along with the bridges and a lot of the normal roads. I could provide a lot more links to prove this point, but just run your own keyword searches there. Estimates for just reppairing what we have now to fix fall betweeen the OMG! and How many zeroes??!! levels. Want just a tiny example of how weird it is getting? Just in the past few months over 90,000 horses have been literally abandoned in the southeast US as people who have them no longer have the grass nor the water to keep them. I am contemplating getting a couple myself, but still not sure if we have adequate needs right now for our small cow herd (I live in north georgia on a big farm, but the drought over all has been bad here, although we did get 1.5 inches of rain this last weekend so that is welcome)(we only harvested 20% of our normal average haycrop this year), going to see how it goes the next month before making a decision. Long range weather is looking bad with la nina, real bad. And look at the mess going on with atlants water supply and water needs further downstream for power plants and to keep some fisheries going in florida. they are goping to run out! they are *mining* water now, it is not being replensihed at anywhere's near the rate it needs to be, and even with emergency restrictions there is a good chance that sucker is going down. There just isn't enough, and we needed a thousand(whatever, bignum there) more huge reservoirs built ten years ago all over the country. And they want billions to build a high speed maglev train to move plutocrats and gamblers around?? And my other point of the dismal state of national broadband still stands as well, we are way down the list on every ranking index I have seen and dropping yearly.

As to getting better cars out there, I agree, totally. They need to drastically increase cafe standards beyond a joke level and shake detroit to its very roots to get them to pay attention, and offer something like eliminating ad valorem and sales tax for plugin hybrids that achieve 60 mpg or better, or pure electrics, and stuff like that. I am also in favor of a national 100% tax credit for installation of active alternative energy solutions for homeowners and small business, to get a lot more points of production out there, and to keep it in place for at least a decade. a manhattan project or moonrace project effort, something of that scale, massive and *now*, right now, pass the damn bill as an emergency measure. If we wait for the economy to collapse further and oil get closer to two hundred a barrel than one hundred like now...well..we just won't be able to do it. The second (or third) worlding of the US will follow.

In other words, we don't need any more dumb fixes, we need smart fixes, cheap fixes, and multi billion wasted dollar magleve trains aren't even a fix, they are just rich peoples toys.

If you think that only a laser can blind someone, might I suggest you stare at the sun for a while? Obviously it's not a laser and therefore cannot harm you and I've heard you see the most gorgeous light-show of spots.

Seriously, wake up. No one is saying that this device is going to be designed to blind people or purposefully abused as a matter of policy from the start. It is simply inevitable that it will though. We're talking about something that will emit light intense enough to blind someone temporarily. It is only a matter of time before the device is set on a too powerful setting (accidentally or intentionally), malfunctions, or simply is used on someone who cannot tolerate the same amount of light as an average person. We have a right to discuss these things and present them as serious problems. More importantly, it's incredibly foolish to simply swallow whatever those in power regurgitate. This device is being marketed as being able to disable an entire crowd of people. We should ask ourselves though, do we really need such a device? The police already have methods of dealing with crowds and rioters so why should we give them an additional weapon that has the potential to cripple people for life?

As far as the abuse of this power goes, you are incredibly naive if you think the government never abuses it's power. Just recently we had a story come out about FBI agents that had been abusing the USAPATRIOT act. I seem to recall that when the act was first came into being there were many people, myself included, that warned it would be abused, that it was not just a hypothetical situation but only a matter of time. We had similar dismissals then.

And what about Tasers? There's another non-lethal weapon being pushed quite heavily by police forces around the country. When those first went into circulation people said "Oh no, they won't be abused and look: when they are used, they're non-lethal so it's ok!" Of course now it seems we can't go a week without another story about someone being killed or brutalized by a taser, that simple device that the police will maintain the same self-restriction on use as their firearms. Whether it's shocking an already hand-cuffed teenager in the back of a patrol car, brutalizing a student for refusing to show his ID, or tasering and killing a man in what can only be likened to an execution, the police have not shown that they can effectively use restraint or treat civilians with respect. If you think that this new device will be used even less than tasers when it can disable one or many suspects from a long range, consequences be damned, then you're a fool.

It appears also that the bloggers web site is shut down as of Wed (March 7th, 2007) (see Jacksonville Times-Union: http://www.jacksonville.com/tu-online/stories/0310 07/neS_8452819.shtml). And this was due to the fact that the *subject* of the web site (Ben Rich) filed his papers for the 2008 commission race.

Once he registered sites could no longer *anonymously* attack him. There are several out-rages here:
1. Once he files, he can't be attacked anonymously? Wow. This is very similar to the whole McCain-Feingold free speech restrictions. ("First, if two or more individuals sponsor a Web site or other ad, they would be required to register with Halyburton because it would be considered an electioneer's communication. Secondly, if an individual funds the ad, that would be considered an individual expenditure and that person would have to register with Halyburton, just as a candidate would, to identify their expenditures.")

2. The candidate can file at ANY time and therefore shut down disent. It doesn't have to be near the election.

The U.S. Supreme Court has already tacitly agreed with these type of rules as not being a restriction on free speech, but the Justices who said that are in need of a dose of reality.

IE6 has horrible CSS support. IE7 has pretty decent CSS support. If someone's coded their site so it doesn't work with a browser that implements CSS in a standard way, then they're idiots for doing that, and they've already got problems with any customer-facing stuff, because they're turning away customers who use Firefox.

I can't argue wih you that IE7 has better CSS support than IE6. It is better. And it's also far from standards compliant. My friend's company? It's the Florida Times-Union, and their website is Jacksonville.com. The code on this site is just about perfect, displays perfectly in Firefox and Opera, and up until last week when they changed the code, was bring ripped to shreds by IE7.

Of course, my original post wasn't about IE7's mediocre CSS support. The post was about how IE7 is causing other applications to throw odd errors. The Florida Times-Union has removed IE7 from all of their computers, with the exception of web development, because people couldn't clock in, could calculate payroll, etc. That's IE7 breaking other apps on the system.

Most people won't upgrade to IE7 because tabs and anti-phishing software are not enough incentive to break all their other applications, especially when they can run Firefox for free.

All right, so you're a theorist. I'm an experimentalist. I can accept that it may violate the laws of physics as we know them. That would only mean that we need to rethink a couple of things. (Long term that's a given anyway.) All I want to see is a working model verified by a third party.
