If the government got out of the business of providing a poor, unprofitable service, businesses with an interest in profit could take over and make them profitable, more efficient, and more reliable.
More likely private industry would take over the profitable routes dropping all the unprofitable ones, making the service much worse than it already is.
This is nothing new. They have actually jailed people arrested for marijuana for advocating marijuana legalisation because it is advocating an illegal activity.
Needless to say it didn't stand up on appeal.
You say that jokingly, but their per-capita debt is a fraction of ours. Sadly, they're already richer than we are. But we live a pretty good lifestyle on that debt.
I would be in favor of temporarily suspending the NASA program, utilizing those resources to come up with new energy technology, and then licensing that technology to help fund the resurrected space program.
Or just getting rid of a stealth bomber or two, maybe a carrier group.
I honestly can't think of anything on television I wouldn't want a kid to watch.
I can't think of anything on television I would want ANYONE to watch.
I watch everything from aliens getting blown-up to naked news. It hasn't caused me psychological harm; why would it hurt a child?
Sex and violence on TV don't cause psychological harm. The news does. Reality TV does. Sitcoms do. It rots your brain. At least sex and violence are stimulating.
You can play more than one. People don't because it costs money. That's why the Asian MMO market's free to play business model has resulted in such diversity in the genre.
I play Guild Wars, a few MUDs and Eve Online. Only one of them costs me to play.

This is an outrage! If we let this continue eventually they'll charge both content providers and consumers for internet bandwidth.
It is when a new license costs $0.00. Other than deployment costs, there's no reason not to upgrade frequently.
If you're not installing Vista for enhanced security, why exactly are you installing it?
Here's an idea to help: just start summarily dismissing criminal charges where there's no victim.
Wouldn't legalizing drugs & prostitution accomplish the same thing?

People working in government agencies do not start their day thinking how they can be inefficient for you.
Some things come naturally.

There is plenty to buy, from AKs to RPGs. I know I'd be in debt if I had access to the fire power they do.

Product Placement.
That would certainly explain why the MMO genre is so diverse: they don't copy each other's ideas.

I leared everything I need to know about raising children from the 80s: When a problem comes along, you must whip them.
If you're going to fault consiervatives on anything, opposition to the constitution isn't it.
Did you have a nice nap, Mr. Van Winkle?
I got the decade number from XP. 7 years is nearly a decade.
More likely it will be less delay. Rather than getting a slow connection, it'll just time out and continue.
Yeah, and Office 2007 doesn't have out of the box support for OOXML.
I think by consistency he means going almost a decade between releases. I'm sure Ubuntu could do the same. Warty Warthog Service Pack 3, anyone?

It's like saying "a society of sociopaths". It's an oxymoron.
Yep, she actually used the term "a team of mavericks".
Nor is oppression by Christians.
They'd blame the RIAA, and their fans would love them for it.
