Dogish Head also makes Chateau Jihau, which is based on a 9000 year old Chinese recipe. Based on the ingredients of all their historical recreation beers, I can safely say that the ancients just took whatever around them was fermentable, founds some good spices and herbs, and made themselves an alcoholic drink.
It might be good for students to learn that slavery existed since the dawn of mankind. They may view things a little differently. We shouldn't be surprised that existed even among relatively decent people. We should be surprised that it was eradicated and ask why it was eradicated.
Given the fact that our federal system of government was heavily influenced by Presbyterian form of church government, I would say that depends on what you mean by "Christian nation."
Theocracy? No. Heavily influenced by Christian values and thought? Yes.
Well, to be fair, Europe has a long cultural history which was more at ease at government intrusion into people's lives. America has descendants of Europeans who got the heck out of there.
Ok, let's say that Program X was a disaster. What you also expose by leaking this is that we don't have the capabilities of Program X. In other words, other intelligence agencies understand what we can and cannot do.
I would be entirely sure that the Congressional committees know perfectly well that a program is messing up. And while we should be concerned about technical projects being mismanaged or being messed up (not that that doesn't occur in private industry, right?), let's not kid ourselves.
Leaking this type of information is a problem. And if Congress didn't know about the mess, that's the appropriate people to leak to.

Did I miss something or did the reviewer not mention anything about how the book reader application is?
I have no plans to get an iPad in the near future, but if I was considering a Kindle this capability might make me consider it sooner rather than later.
Wouldn't firing someone for a religiously-themed comment run the company into all sorts of problems? Let alone shutting down their expression in that arena. What if you belong to a church that believes in evangelism? You are essentially firing someone for their beliefs, not just expressing them.
What you've described is highly problematic.
Would you really want to fire someone for a political opinion on their own time?
I've had a $400 wine before (obtained at a decent price and then aged). The difference between a decent $20-$40 wine and a $400 one is minimal relative to the price.
I doubt anyone without a really refined palate would be able to notice. And even if you did, you would probably chalk it up to poor storage or oxidation or something.
If life expectancy is low because I eat at McDonald's too much and don't exercise (and because of high crime rates), I fail to see how that is the fault of the health care system.
First, I don't think anything that shields consumers from prices will bring down costs.
But even if this bill is conceptually sound, it will still fail and bankrupt the nation. Why?
We don't have enough young people. Around 1940, we had about 44 people for every 1 retired person. Now the ratio is 3.3 to 1.
You can't have a welfare state and a low birth rate long-term. It will bankrupt us all. The only conceivable way around that scenario is strong economic growth, but the high taxes needed to pay for the welfare state will snuff that out.
It's not my place to tell people how many children to have, nor is it the government's place. Ironically, liberals tend to have less kids, the same kids their welfare state relies on.
I tend towards the libertarian end of the spectrum, especially in economics. The past three or so years has made me think about economics a lot and my underlying assumptions.
My conclusion is that it is extremely hard to come up with a very good detailed economics theory because you can't really test all that well. And your data sample set is limited.
What you would really need is access to alternative realities. What would have happened if the Fed didn't reduce rates to really low levels 9 years ago? What would have happened if we let the banks go under instead of bailing them out? I have guesses but no firm idea. You can't rerun the Great Depression and fine-tune all the variables.
So when I see guys like Paul Krugman insist we need a bigger stimulus, the first thing I think is "this is completely unfalsifiable."

What, besides "survivors survive" does Darwinism predict? I would still classify it as a scientific theory.
Well, it would have been...But I have Flash running in another tab.

At least that I know of.
But it's ok. At least he's not in the Mafia.
They just wanted to welcome our new ant overlords with a nice map of the Earth.
They're allowed to blow up volcanoes.

Who do you think comes up with the technology to crack encryption of intercept signals?
One other thing beer has over wine besides price. There is a greater range of flavors.
This is why I'm a beer snob. You can get the best beer in the world for $12 or less for a 750 mL bottle.
And yes, I would put up a fine beer next to a fine wine any day of the week. They just are different.

And the reason why it is linked with employment is because of tax incentives and policy decisions made by government in the 1940's.
Government breaks your legs and tells you they are the only people to give you crutches.

We're basically a few years behind Greece.
We do manufacture a lot. We just do a good job with automation.
How many billions of dollars have to be flushed down the toilet in Microsoft's attempt to gain new market strongholds?
It seems the best use of this money would be to give it back to the stockholers.
who broke up with his girlfriend?
Homeless.
