that you can get along without him and his perspective on the universe so, in order to not endanger your potential right to buy [stick in some Wal*Mart import] you're going ot kill his lame ass.
They are in the business of evaluating risk and spreading that risk to all of their share holders while charging a premium based on the risk in order to MAKE A PROFIT.
You, as an individual, don't matter. In fact you, as an individual, don't exist.
If you fall into the cost side of the equation, they will try to eliminate you as you are reducing their profits.
You can't run health care for profit.
The United States is the LAST hold out in the civilized world where people think it can be. (Actually, they DON'T but the major shareholders, being anonymous pools of capital, DON'T CARE about the suffering of individuals.)
You aren't even a line item on a spreadsheet somewhere.
The only way to actually run a health care system (as opposed to the health-don't-care system currently in place) is with socialized medicine, just like we have a socialized military (you don't want a bunch of militias running around after all.)
Health is a social responsibility.
Insurance is an actuarial game played for profit. (As long as you don't need it, you don't mind losing a little bit since it is spreading risk around to all the players. The problem comes when you DO need it and the companies DON'T WANNA PAY. [With health care, you might very well DIE!!])
Anything that starts with some "There's some invisible guy, up in the sky, who can kill you, because he loves you" is deeply, persistently and fundamentally fucked up.
Creationism is merely an expression of how fucked up it is.
ANY country that has ANY religion is just as fucked up.
"Offer your sufferings to Christ" is NOT a health care policy. Got that?
I'm so sick of reading about this "beast that would not die!"
Now some oil sheik is going to be on the hook for something he won't even notice at the pump (100 mil is what? Less than a week's worth of flow?) while we are subjected to reading about this utter bull-shit litigation for the next year.
And I can't even wipe my ass with the tissue of lies that Darle has hatched.

Go on. I dare you...
taking care of you.

and need to be rebooted at least once a day.
that's a pace a human being can relate to.
the winning (and/or losing) of the DVD format war won't amount to much.
Was it worth $400,000,000?
Probably not.
Sony loses the format wars again, because in a very very short time we won't care.
They are scale invariant and every scanning technology developed is also scale invariant.
They'll detect features based on the features in relation to themselves and to the fingerprint, not to any raster artifact.
and its WRONG!
Einstein's theory of gravity is more accurate but still doesn't explain why gravity exists.
There are lost of theories which seek to explain more and more about what IS.
We're refining the decimal points trying to eliminate error.
We don't need some idiot saying some stupid phrase like "Its the will of [insert name of deity here]"
George Carlin was right...

download prince's latest opus, then the latest ball, uh, block buster, then some Microsoft product.
That will get the idiots off of the internet.
To be effective, a space-based platform must be out there, visible by all and vulnerable to all.
In space nobody can hear you whine like a little girl.
but for patent trolls, who have created NOTHING and who bring NOTHING to the table, I'd make an exception.
Fuck 'em where they breathe...
These carrion feeders, these disgusting example of oozing, sporing fecal matter need to be utterly and absolutely stamped the fuck out.
I think that they deserve the same fate as Derle.
I can't think of a term low enough for them.
All religion requires a suspension of disbelief.
Like bridges and monster trucks, the more widely disseminated the religion, the more massive the suspension.
rip off the Saudis.

I hope there's a SPECIAL CIRCLE OF HELL FOR HIM.
otherwise, you'd be paying for something that you're not getting.
Your thinking of Canada.
And there's not such levy on hard-disks or on MP3 recorders or on internet traffic.
I'm saying screw screwing with the RIAA, go and deprive their client list of funds by spending elsewhere.
It would only take a few weeks for said clients to wake the fuck up and drop the RIAA like a hot potato.
oxidize (burn) all of those hydrocarbons?
We'll run out of oxygen in the air long before Titan runs out of hydrocarbons.
Guess what WE need the oxygen.
Using Titan as anything other than a scientific curiosity is not practical. (And NO! You can't use it just until it starts getting hard to breathe.)
and just listen to indie music.
The only way around this problem is to go around the problem.
You don't have to stop listening to music.
You just have to stop listening to ANY music of the RIAA's client list.
If you start petitions and demonstrations for this, so what?
But if you hold onto your money, it really won't take very long.
After they go completely without any new revenues for a couple of weeks, they'll come around.
And move on.
He's DEAD Jim.
I didn't even bother with the last set of movies.
Ass-tronauts have been farting since day one and its a miracle that the station doesn't smell like shit and dead skin by now.
There's something prophetic there...
How long were the PCers of the corporate world promised Vista (when they clearly didn't want it or need it?)
I started on OS X 10.1.0 (admittedly mot the greatest [but still a lot better than OS 8.x]) back in 2001.
Its now 2008 and I have had every point update (okay, I've spent around $500 over the past seven years but I didn't MIND it.)
Now I just installed the update without any pain.
In the same time my ex-employers and clients would only change to a new version of Windows when the old one was EOL'd.
Now that people WANT to upgrade (maybe NOT for the of best of reasons,) they CAN'T.
One of us is happy.
One of us must be starting to feel like a real schmuck by now.
What's next?
The courts are going to be fair?
What ever shall become of the RIAA?
and these guys (and its only guys, [by their own rules, the women don't count worth shit,) would take offense.
There is no winning against someone determined to hate you.
(We western devils can do no right. Our very existence is an affront to their sense of what's right and they feel entitled to wipe us out.)
You just have to survive them and try not to become the people they tell us we are...
Its got nothing to do with religion. They just have a hard-on for us.
Its got nothing to do with politics. They just have a hard-on for us.
Its got nothing to do with economics. They just have a hard-on for us.
But they can't even make the weapons they use against us.
Fuck 'em all.
that's got a change at least...
... Daikatana ...
that he'd like all this freedom shit wiped out (After all, he's already wiped his ass with the constitution.)
for a nice crater.
