Throw in the fact that some animals are tied to a particular habitat, which may be relatively small. Antarctica as you mentioned, or somewhere that got subducted back into the mantle or even as someone else mentioned, shoreline that is now under water.
I'd also worry about blocking sites. Here in Canada, they're trying to get permission to block sites because of piracy. Thing is their site blocking is usually to broad and once they're blocking sites, they can block them for political reasons. Block the other parties site or even worse, target certain neighbourhoods and block (or really slow down) the voters registration sites.
Well this is $15 CDN in one of the most expensive places in N. America. OTOH, minimum wage is closer to $11 I think, it's been going up lately. The real problem is that for it to be worth the farmer paying, the workers have to be fast and often the natives just aren't. I tried some farm work years ago and no matter how I tried, I couldn't keep up.
Is a 1000 pennies legal tender in the States? Here in Canada, pennies are/were only legal tender up to 25 cents with other coins having similar limits of 20-25 coins so even paying a $100 bill with toonies ($2 coin) can be refused. It gets even weirder with various commemorative/special issue coins such as the Olympic $5 & $10 coins I own where they are only legal tender for one. There is also a rule that people don't have to accept bills if they don't trust them for whatever reason, which is why it is legal for stores to refuse to cash a fifty or hundred.
Actually IQ tests were originally created to show that some people (East Europeans at the time) were sub-human. They originally had questions such as "who won the world series" and "what is Smith Wesson known for manufacturing" (spelling may be incorrect). A hundred odd years ago there was a movement to limit immigration to keep the Slav's out.
Anyways, even if certain populations are lower in intelligence on average, it does not mean that all members of that population are lower in intelligence.
The odd individual in other populations may also have an extra large spleen. At that, often these types of mutations are spread through the population and then in some populations, gets selected for.
In some countries of the world (including France, Italy, Portugal, Spain, Romania, Greece, and the countries of Latin America), America is considered a continent encompassing the North America and South America subcontinents,[23][24] as well as Central America.[25][26][27][28][29]
And where is the NW tip of Washington State? Point Roberts? Then you have to consider the coast enters Canada for a while before rejoining Washington (Point Roberts is only accessible by land from Canada). One of the San Juan Islands? Then you have a length of no coast line.
I've had lots of 3 day outages (far enough out that we're last on the list to fix) and only once did the POTS go down. The phone lines are a lot more stretchy then the power lines. After a storm. I've gone into town and seen the tree on the lines that broke the power lines, the phone line would just be stretched to the ground.
I keep a wired phone around for just that reason. It also has a light under the buttons which is handy to tell if the line is live. Had mice chew the line under the house before and assumed the no dial tone was due to wire thieves as usual.
My main reason for using it is that it is free and just works. I don't want to pay extra on my pay as you go plan for data, which is even more expensive here in Canada then the States, and I don't need anything more then text.
Warehouses used to be a not bad job for someone without much education or skills, at least according to the people I've known that worked in them. Nothing fantastic but not shitty like this is described.
Unions can be more then about the pay. There is also working conditions, things like a break every 2 hours and not spending 12 hours standing on your feet, something that'll fuck you in the long run. The local grocery store here only lets their cashiers stand at the till for 4 hours before having them do something else that involves movement, but then they're interested in stopping unionization by treating the workers well, and it's working. Businesses can be insanely cheap. One of the longest strikes, for health reasons, in Canada involved an Asbestos plant. Workers went on strike with some simple demands, 2 lockers, one for their street clothes, one for their work clothes, showers to wash the asbestos off after work, car wash for the same reason, and a clean lunch room. Sounds pretty reasonable but the company didn't think so. http://www.cbc.ca/archives/ent...
Well in Sullenberger's case, he did bravely stay in the airplane until everyone else was out, including walking through it at least twice. While still expected behaviour, there has been cases of Captains panicking and being among the first off the plane. The actual piloting, I've heard pilots say that in these kinds of situations that they didn't have time to do much thinking or panicking, just flying to the best of their ability.
Yet, California has more House members than it should because illegal migrants are counted.
I'd like to see a citation for that, as well as a citation why it matters considering that California is limited in its number of Representatives contrary to your Constitution (14th amendment as well as parts of the main Constitution that were time limited but showed intent and how close Article the 1st came to being part of the Constitution, more then once and could still pass.
In any case, if the federal government returned to its proper functions (national defense, border protection, internal and external trade), none of this would matter.
That ship sailed in the 1860's.
When people say "here in Canada" in US political discussions, I wonder (1) why Canadians feel like they need to chime in on US political issues and (2) whether they seriously think that that is a recommendation for a policy. I certainly do not want the US to become anything like Canada or Europe.
I refer to Canada because it is similarly a federation of sovereign parts, and so is a good comparison. Also what happens down there has lots of affects up here. My wife and son are also N. American citizens, which gives them the right to ignore the border, work and get citizenship there if they choose. You also said that you do want your country to be a federation of sovereign parts, like Canada and somewhat like the European Union.

I'm expecting that you're right that it'll be at the DNS level. Still while you and I might know enough to change our DNS servers, most people aren't.

Not much drift over 10,000 odd years. Perhaps a couple of dozen miles?

That's how it mostly works in Canada. Fly in people from Central America to work the fields, house and pay them $15 an hour and fly them back home.

Seems I have more mathematical insight then a lot of posters here.

You mean genociding the original owners on N. America?
Hopefully you're right. Both 1st and 2nd amendments are very simple and yet have been limited quite a bit.
So once all jobs require a Facebook account, you will still be free to starve.
"Right to be forgotten" would require amending the Constitution to eliminate that pesky Free Speech Clause in the United States Constitution.
No it wouldn't, it would just require the Supreme Court to declare more speech being non-protected, something your Supreme Court is good at.

My understanding is that due to Jupiter's gravity, there never was a planet there. Also the reason that Mars is on the small side.
