Public safety should ALWAYS be #1 without exception.
Careful with that thin edge, Eugene; that same phrase can be easily applied to justify the creeping police state lead by the TSA and endless war against stateless groups by the DOD and friends.
'I feel like in my personal faith walk, I have felt instructed not to get a flu vaccination, but it's also the whole matter of the right to choose what I put in my body...'
The same faith that says women have no right to choose to not be a birthing chamber, you sickening hipocrite?
The USPS should offer banking services like in European countries. Specifically: zero-cost paycheck cashing so the poor with no bank accounts are not leached on by those scumbag check cashing / payday loan bastards.
This would be another reason not to allow personal cellphones in secure and sensitive work areas. If the FBI can turn on mobsters' phone mics (and therefore cameras), so can the Peoples' Central Committee.
Increase the gas tax to compensate. Gasoline should already be taxed more highly that it is because of it's numerous externalities.
That will just incent the purchase of higher mileage vehicles, reinforcing a virtuous cycle.
And let the working poor that can barely afford an older, low MPG car BE DAMNED.
Some virtuous folks can't see past their six-figure salaries, I see.
True except for one five-letter word: Sport. Yes, yes; great unwashed, bread and circuses for the masses, but until that nut can be cracked, the majority in the US won't be cutting the cord.
The University of Texas can get just about any 5-star, Blue Chip football recruit they want. They then proceed to loose about 80% of their games againt Kansas State University, which features a roster of 2 to 3 star players and a bunch of walk-ons from tiny little Kansas towns. Why? It's akin to genius sometimes being not too far from madness; sheer athletic ability is frequently accompanied by arrogance and selfishness. It also can't help being told you're god-like in your abilities by adults since the age of 12. But in the face of real adversity? Having never had to try very hard before? They fail more often than not. I don't think analytics will help too much where it really counts: heart, desire, and humility.
The company I work for makes custom equipment for OEMs - mainly off road. Only a few ever ask for to make anything in metric, though quite a few times we've reverse-engineered metric equivalents back to inch.
Why? Mainly the cost of the custom steel we have to use. Sure, you can get metric sized - if you commit to buy a few literal tons per size. Or, you can just convert and use the existing inch-based materials we already have in stock or in the pipeline with the steel mills.
Another example: SAE J1926 specifies that new designs should use the metric version of these ports. I've never *ever* seen one specified or requested.
Oh, and fair warning, dear TV makers: this isn't rocket science, and if Apple is indeed working on an Apple TV, it WILL eat your lunch. Because they will get it right, and people will fall over themselves to get a well-thought out, easy to use, pretty TV that integrates into the Apple eco-system.
They will then *ahem* emulate what Apple has done, but offer it at a fraction of the 'i' price and possibly even give you some semblance of ownership rights and access not available in the beautiful walled garden.

That's quite enough, Mitt.

"Janitor Orangutan will not wear diapers."
The buried lede: Idiocracy is not species-specific.
I'm sure ol' Benedict also had a ready supply of justifications.
Lamo: perfect name.
Complete the port and then shoot the trial lawyers into space.

Except next month ALL the items on the menu WILL be rounded UP by a nickel (or maybe a even dime) to lock-in some one-time profits.
That's so the NSA doesn't have to look over your shoulder.

I've never purchased from them, but they're the first ones I thought of:

Hoo, clever! What, no Wizard of Oz reference? Those are always so insightful.

I was just wondering what George Bush was up to these days.
