You know what else you get? People randomly checking boxes because they either don't know or don't care about the issues they're voting on, yet they have been coerced into voting anyways.
How is coercing a person to vote any better than coercing them not to vote?
Alas, the Constitution doesn't mention property rights at all.
Sure it does:
Amendment IX
The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.
Amendment X
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.
Take a step back, you're missing the forest for the trees. Google is not some one-dimensional startup, they have a large number of products, none of which exist in isolation.
If you log into Google Health, you'll see a large search bar at the top of the page. Enter a term in there, and you get Google web search, which does have ads.
It is not necessary for a product to make a profit by itself if it drives more visitors to the other products and increases revenues there. If Google sees an increase of revenue in other areas that exceeds the cost of running Google Health, then they have fulfilled their profit motive while fulfilling users' needs without violating users' trust.
Don't forget that the TI-85 (1992) and TI-86 (1997) graphing calculators both used it. There was actually a fairly large resurgence in Z80 assembly programming when a hack was discovered on the TI-85 whereby assembly language programs could be stored in general memory and accessed from the "Custom" menu.
ZShell, anybody?
Way I read it, it says that a militia (well regulated, no less!) is necessary for defense. You know, in case the British attacked you from the north again... Whatever else those founding fathers might have had in mind, they sure didn't write that... ... in the Constitution (in any case, your interpretation of the Second Amendment as written is by no means an authoritative one, and flies in the face of established jurisprudence). There is a large body of text that exists from that period, written by the very people who wrote, debated, and ratified the Constitution, that gives valuable insight into their thinking. The error in your thinking is that you assume that a country (read: the people) only need defend itself against foreign threats. The Second Amendment was introduced because the Constitution allows Congress to form a standing army, which many people were concerned would be used to pacify and control the people.
What, Sir, is the use of a militia? It is to prevent the establishment of a standing army, the bane of liberty.... Whenever Governments mean to invade the rights and liberties of the people, they always attempt to destroy the militia, in order to raise an army upon their ruins.
(Rep. Elbridge Gerry of Massachusetts, spoken during floor debate over the Second Amendment [ I Annals of Congress at 750 {August 17, 1789}])
Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom of Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any bands of regular troops that can be, on any pretense, raised in the United States
(Noah Webster in 'An Examination into the Leading Principles of the Federal Constitution', 1787, a pamphlet aimed at swaying Pennsylvania toward ratification, in Paul Ford, ed., Pamphlets on the Constitution of the United States, at 56(New York, 1888))
That the said Constitution shall never be construed to authorize Congress to infringe the just liberty of the press or the rights of conscience; or to prevent the people of The United States who are peaceable citizens from keeping their own arms...
(Samuel Adams, Debates and Proceedings in the Convention of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, at 86-87 (Peirce & Hale, eds., Boston, 1850))
For now, let's just say: learn what that constitutions and those amendments actually say, before waving them around. And then, learn what they actually mean.
After having spent multiple deployments in Iraq and Africa guarding against the same types of situation... I always tell my boys to err in on the side of self preservation. If you neutralize them, one person is lost.
And that is why the military should not be used as a police force, nor should the police turn into a paramilitary operation.
Let me introduce you to the preview feature at TinyURL. Just append "preview." to the front of the address, or you can go to TinyURL and set an option (cookie) to always show the preview first. No, it's not a graphical preview - just the redirect address. Which in this case, would have made it quite clear that the link in question is NSFW (or any other place, for that matter).
Or like others have said, don't be so click-happy next time.
In a way you're both right. Per 10CFR20.1201, a worker's total effective dose equivalent (TEDE) cannot exceed 5 rem/yr (there's a whole host of other limits, see link if you really care). The 100 mrem/yr limit is for a member of the general public (e.g. someone living close to a nuclear power plant, who receives the exposure without giving due consent) (10CFR20.1301).
I suspect the 5 rem/yr limit would be the applicable one since the people on the space elevator would be doing so in the course of their employment, or would otherwise be making the trip voluntarily with full knowledge of the potential radiation exposure (along the same lines as a radiation therapy patient).
No question about it. Take the Washington state online gambling ban passed a couple months ago. The sponsor of that bill, state Senator Margarita Prentice, had her hands in all kinds of casino pots:
Last November, a full three years before her expected re-election bid, Prentice received $2,700 from David Barnett and his wife, Christine. Barnett is tribal chair of the Cowlitz tribe, an Indian nation that is slated to construct a new casino in La Center, which would easily cater to the casino-free Portland market. Prentice also got another $1,175 from the Washington Indian Gaming Commission, a lobbying group, and two lobbyists who represent Indian interests. Combined, the two sets of contributions are about 20 percent of the $22,000 she has raised so far for her 2008 race. Within four months of Prentice receiving those contributions, her online gambling ban bill raced through both houses of the Legislature with little opposition and no press attention.
In 2004, Prentice got almost $9,000 from gambling interests.

How does the existence of a creator eliminate those possibilities? Where did the creator come from? Or does the creator exist outside existence?

It certainly allows for some creative pronunciations... Cutey-puffs-gooey?

This is not a zero-sum game, we can all win.

Try MathWorld instead. Okay, some of it's still pretty hard to understand (it IS mathematics, after all), but at least it's authoritative.
Um, you might want to try this one instead.

Tartus is a city in Syria.
TARDIS is a spacecraft/time machine (of Time Lord design) that has an interior larger than its exterior.
Unless you know something about Syria that really should be further explored, I think you mean the latter.

Except 90% of education is financed at the local and state level. Your conclusion certainly still holds true, though.
