Then there's the whole Rush Limbaugh tough on drug abusers except when blowhard radio personalities take so much non-prescribed oxycontin their ears quit working. Why hasn't he had himself locked up? (just Google, there's far too many references to link)
Then there's these.. Here too. Even some (former) Republicans agree.
I don't fear snakes either. That doesn't mean I don't give them a wide margin until I positively identify them as non-poisonous. At least I don't run for cover when I see a snake only to discover that my hiding place has spiders.
It has everything to do with the public face of the so called conservative party in America.
If you don't like it, you should either disavow the GOP or clean house. They are representing you as a homophobic elitist hypocritical ignorant martinet.
Let's say we all collectively decide we no longer care to subsidize crappy pay. No more safety net at all.
The minimum wage workers will start smelling and looking like homeless people (because they are homeless), or they will die from malnutrition. At that point, the cheapskate employers will have to either pay more or shut down.
Minimum wage is our way of having that same outcome with less corpses in the gutters.
We pay higher taxes now because we end up supplementing the cheap bastard employer's payroll. At least if the employer is forced to pay the whole load themselves, it will be possible to choose which business you support with your money.
Implement minimum wage and we can pay lower taxes and make our own decisions on what company to support.
Do you LIKE it when McDonalds picks your pocket every payday? What if you prefer Wendy's or just don't like fast food at all?
The minimum wage most certainly is supposed to be a living wage. It was implemented as part of the war on poverty (which, due to a horrible tyupo, the Tea Party now wages as the war on the poor).
If you chose IT because physics was beyond you (personally, not humans in general), but one day you slipped on a floppy, hit your head on the edge of a server, then when you woke up you exclaimed "So THAT's what Einstein was saying!", then yes. Otherwise, no.
You're just not reading my postings carefully then. I claimed that the heat and dry soil were indeed exacerbated by human activity but the dust bowl itself (the massive dust storms) were man-made.
The drought was natural, but made worse by over-plowing encouraging evaporation of whatever moisture was there. The heat was natural, but made worse by clearing all the natural growth from the land. The soil blew away because it dried excessively and had no root systems to hold it in place (due to plowing the land clear). It's not as if that wouldn't have been an extreme year without man, but man did contribute.
Under the conditions he specifies, Pi does have an end. He makes it clear he means as seen in the physical world where it is bound by the Planck length. He may or may not realize that mathematicians prefer to have as little as possible to do with the physical world, at least professionally.
You mean other than going from a party boy furniture salesman to a student of mathematics specializing in number theory?
Savantism doesn't mean an ability practically nobody else has (though it can be that), it is an ability that is out of context for the person who has it.

What crazy crack are you smoking?
Here.
OH! Here's a heap of examples!

I can see it now, being the office joke where every time the receptionist reads her horoscope aloud you have to change your pants.
Which was the party that pushed for and passed civil rights legislation over the objection of which other party?
Let's face it, neither of those parties exists in a recognizable form today.

Well, we do tend to like the things we're good at more than the things we aren't.

Let's see, killing people vs. helping the poor. One of those aligns well with Christian values the Right supposedly champions.

And he is correct under the conditions he states along with that.
And he went back to school majoring in math. RTFA

Even those tend to have speed dial.
Actually, Earth seems to be metastable. When it gets pushed out of one local minimum, it ends up in one of a few others.
Lets not push it out of the one we find comfortable.
Correct, he specializes in number theeory.
It is somewhat less common to develop a talent or aptitude for something they didn't have before, such as math.
You can take them now as far as I'm concerned. Please!
Not to mention, the U.S. is a net exporter of oil (and coal).

Wikipedia has a decent summary with references.
I don't think we actually have such a program running there, I just wanted to point out that from their perspective it is hardly a paranoid fantasy.
