unless it was a written contract it would be hard to see it that way. Plus I'm pretty sure contracts are void when they ask you to do something illegal. Not to mention hugely incriminating.
I really liked the guns and religion comment - it was the first time someone had the guts to say something against either religion or guns in a long time. Which makes me sad to see him pandering to religious groups...
Or maybe it would just force them to go back to basics, and work their way back - while Apple are forced to make bloatware due to having to please everybody.
If by record you mean less then pre-occupation then yes. If Iraq is importing fuel then that should be a hint that its not all going as planned.
The market is not well supplied, as the rate of production increases is not matching the projected increases in demand. Combine this with unsure supply outlook (Iran and Venezuela are both threatening cuts in production, and the middle east is a powder keg) and its no wonder that prices are increasing. If things continue the prices will only get higher, I'm betting on $200 a barrel by the end of the year - (esp if there is more trouble with Israel/Hezbollah).
I was looking for a candidate that stood for higher taxes, more government, less free trade, more social programs and was anti-defence. Thnx for letting me know!
Even if opening of private property on the moon is allowed, and it creates a rush to buy property, all that would happen is that the property speculators will buy it up cheap and sit on it until it is worth something. There is no incentive for them to do anything with it after they have brought it.
Hence your idea actually has some merit to it. If we force people to go to the moon, and "fence off" a bit of their property this could help speed up the space industry.
What surprises me is that the French got labelled as surrender-happy, when Norway, Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg all did the same thing, not to mention the Italians which switched sides in both world wars to avoid being the losing side.
Btw France fought tooth and nail in the first world war, so its not from that (and it certainly wasn't taken over, you might want to brush up on history a bit:P ).
Consider a third option, that the parameters that causes "a universe that we could exist in" also causes other positive (as in the physics notion of positive) feedback effects, within the starting variables which causes them to arrive at the "a universe that we could exist in" state. So as the tuning process is resulting in more organisation, the tuning process itself becomes hindered, and its stops because it can no longer move, due to the resulting organisation. Essentially you have arrived at the organised state, because its the only place the tuning process can stop. Note that this is just a thought experiment, I'm not actually saying this is how it is as I know very little about the physics involved.
You posed an interesting question "why is stable state so interesting", I think that its because its what we have to work with - transitional states are not very interesting to us, because they are largely useless in a practical sense.

Sounds like a great deal! Perhaps ill wait till I'm 21.
What about the black choppers, you didn't mention the black choppers! They are coming for us all!

Not to mention how he ditched his first wife who waited for him to come back from the war for his mistress.
Plus, keeping people off the ballot is what they do in socialist/communist countries like China and Cuba and Venezuela, not civilized countries.
Michigan and Florida are now communist states. You heard it first on Slashdot!
Well just change our name to Robonia
Computers are already smart enough to talk to us. They just don't have anything interesting to say.
Why don't you try starting a conversation?
I think 12 warheads are more than enough to bring the US back to the stone age...
I think once you have over a certain amount it doesn't really matter how many more you add.
Tho to come back to your point, china has more than one nuclear missile submarine, but I don't think they leave port.

oooooo hamster wheel!
Plus the commenting is atrocious. What the hell does ballastwasser mean?
If you use the middle mouse button (scroll wheel) on a link it opens it in a new tab - so there one click :)
... Unless you are using a mac in which case you are stuck in the mouse stone age

I've got a fat cat, is that half-way there?
Baltic, not Balkan champ.
I would say exactly the opposite, I would love to see all mining done outside of earth (as long as we don't screw up any orbits).

You are correct, my apologies.
Only if its applied by stupid people, for whom common sense is a little too much to ask. My guess is you have spent too much time in the US.

Yet the existence of goatse disproves the existence of a higher power.

But what of monkeys who have self-awareness and a conscience?
To the pope-mobile!
